I sat down with “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe to explore his philosophy of honest storytelling and hard work. In today’s social media-driven culture, reality TV and broadcast journalism cling to a pretense of truth that few actually believe in anymore, but Mike is committed to taking his own path. He reflects on the lessons he’s learned alongside tradespeople doing essential jobs that we take for granted. Mike digs deep into the meaning of masculinity, adulthood, and gratitude—and why these concepts are key to a life well lived.

I sat down with Lenore Skenazy, founder of the ‘free-range kids’ movement, to explore how fear-based parenting is holding our children back. Once dubbed “The World’s Worst Mom” for letting her 9-year-old ride the New York City subway alone, Lenore has since become a powerful voice challenging the culture of overprotection and anxiety that dominates American parenting. She explains how safetyism, media sensationalism, and misguided laws have created a generation of kids who are less confident, less capable, and more dependent than ever before. Lenore is also the co-founder of Let Grow, an organization dedicated to making it “easy, normal, and legal” to get kids out into the world.

I sat down with Heather Mac Donald, Manhattan Institute fellow and author of “The Diversity Delusion,” to discuss how the ideology of racial victimhood is undermining American meritocracy and Western civilization itself. Heather makes a blunt case against racial preferences, DEI bureaucracies, and the soft bigotry of lowered expectations, arguing that seemingly well-intentioned affirmative action policies are not just unfair, but entirely counterproductive. We also explore the left’s anti-Western obsession, the oversimplification of American racial discourse, and why she’s still fighting for the values that made the West great.

I sat down with Father Robert Spitzer, a Jesuit priest and author known for his work on the intersection of faith and science, to explore how cutting-edge physics, historical evidence, and theology converge to support belief in Catholicism. He breaks down why the Big Bang and related cosmological discoveries have built a powerful case for a transcendent creator of the universe. Father Spitzer also explains the role of the pope in the Catholic Church, the historical basis for papal authority, and why the Church’s 2,000-year survival is not just impressive but unprecedented.

I sat down with philosopher and author Peter Boghossian to wrestle with one of the defining questions of modern American life: Can human rights, equality, and morality be justified without a belief in God? As a Catholic, I’ve come to see our 21st-century social breakdown as largely the result of secularization. Without a broadly Christian cultural foundation, the classical liberal approach to government might not work. Peter, who shares many of my classical liberal values, takes the opposite stance—that morality can be grounded in secular reason. We had a great conversation and took it as deep as we could in just two hours: atheist vs. Christian, but more importantly, friend to friend.

I sat down with Matt Fradd, host of “Pints With Aquinas,” to explore the enduring power of Christian faith, the cultural crisis facing the West, and the vital role of fathers in navigating these turbulent times. As a Catholic convert, Matt examines the perceived tension between reason and faith in our culture—and explains why that conflict is an illusion. We dive into the significance of Holy Week, the problem of evil, and the reality of spiritual warfare. Matt critiques a culture adrift and makes a passionate case that the only path forward is one rooted in spiritual clarity and moral conviction.

I sat down with Eustace Wolfington, executive producer of “Cabrini,” to explore his journey from car leasing innovator to filmmaker behind a movie that Hollywood wouldn’t touch. Eustace shares how discovering Mother Cabrini at 23 had a lifelong impact, eventually driving him to bring her story to the screen. Cabrini, an Italian immigrant nun, overcame institutional corruption and fierce opposition to serve the poor and build an empire of charity. Her message of dignity, perseverance, and service resonates in today’s divided world, challenging us with a universal call to action that’s long overdue.

I sat down with Scott Lincicome, trade expert and Vice President of General Economics at the Cato Institute, to discuss why tariffs and protectionism are bad policy. Despite bipartisan support for trade restrictions in recent years—especially those targeting China—Scott argues that tariffs are fundamentally at odds with American prosperity, raising prices, killing jobs, and weakening U.S. manufacturing. He explains why fears over trade deficits are misplaced, how offshoring has actually boosted American wealth, and what really drove deindustrialization in the Rust Belt.

I sat down with Oren Cass, founder of American Compass and former domestic policy advisor to Mitt Romney, to unpack why he believes America’s decades-long pursuit of free trade has backfired—and why tariffs might be the key to reversing the damage. Oren explains how globalization and an over-reliance on market orthodoxy divorced from national interest have hollowed out American industry, eroded national resilience, and disconnected Americans from purpose, family, and community.

I sat down with Robert Breedlove, host of the “What Is Money?” podcast, to unpack the fundamental truths about money, inflation, and Bitcoin. Robert explains why money isn’t just a medium of exchange, but also a form of time, energy, and information—and why fiat money distorts all three. We dig into the history of gold-backed currencies, how central banks consolidate power, and why Bitcoin presents a revolutionary alternative to the broken system.

I sat down with Dr. Marty Makary, Johns Hopkins surgeon and President Trump’s new FDA Commissioner, to discuss the urgent need for reform in American healthcare. Dr. Makary pulls back the curtain on the medical dogma that has infiltrated our system, explaining how outdated, unscientific beliefs and entrenched interests harm patients and stifle innovation. From the critical need for price transparency and competition to the failures of pandemic-era policies, he offers a bold vision for restoring trust and accountability in medicine. Dr. Makary also highlights the microbiome—the ecosystem of bacteria and microorganisms living in our bodies—as one of the most exciting new frontiers in medicine, emphasizing its critical role in understanding and improving human health.

I sat down with psychoanalyst and author Erica Komisar to discuss how modern American culture has left teens and young adults struggling with identity, relationships, and mental health. From the rise of narcissism to the breakdown of family structures, Erica believes that our obsession with personal autonomy has left many people more isolated than ever. We dive into the challenges young men face in schools designed for girls, dating in the post-#MeToo world, and finding a therapist who actually knows what they’re doing.

I sat down with comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore to discuss the current state of American politics, the collapse of traditional left-right distinctions, and the influence of corporate power. Jimmy shares his journey of increasing disillusionment with the Democratic Party and how its alignment with Wall Street and big business has motivated toxic identity politics. We also dive into the overwhelming censorship and propaganda during COVID, how the military-industrial complex keeps us permanently at war, and why these realizations have led Jimmy to question other elements of progressive orthodoxy.

I sat down with Ian Vásquez, Vice President for International Studies at the Cato Institute, to unpack the failures of foreign aid and the true purpose of USAID. For decades, the U.S. has funneled billions into foreign assistance programs, yet these efforts have done little to spur economic growth. Instead, they have trapped countries in a cycle of dependence by subsidizing dysfunctional and corrupt regimes. Using Argentina as a case study, we explore how Javier Milei’s radical free market approach is steering his country away from perpetual hyperinflation and debt crises toward prosperity.

I sat down with James Fishback, CEO of Azoria and founder of Incubate Debate, to discuss the merits of his “DOGE Dividend” proposal. Here’s the idea—take 20% of all DOGE savings and pay them out directly to American taxpayers. After sharing his idea on X (Twitter), Elon Musk brought it to the attention of President Trump, who quickly endorsed it. I have my reservations—namely, that we can’t spare a single penny that could otherwise pay down the national debt. However, James believes that by getting Americans directly engaged in the DOGE project, we can bring them on board for a new era of fiscal responsibility.

I sat down with Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, to discuss the political backlash against Project 2025, President Trump’s vision for America, and what it means for the modern conservative movement. Historically, the conservative movement has lacked a strategy for cultivating future generations of public officials. Progressives have had their recruitment and training institutions in place for decades—you might know them as colleges, universities, and NGOs. For all the supposed upset over particular policy proposals found within Project 2025, the real concern stems from this. Never before have conservatives been prepared to actually staff the sprawling administrative state with effective, aligned individuals, rather than accepting political sabotage from career bureaucrats.

I sat down with journalist and documentary filmmaker Andrew Gold to discuss our susceptibility cultish thinking, the dangers of ideological capture, and the disturbing rise of woke Islamism. Andrew shares his personal journey from a respected BBC presenter to an outspoken critic of the mainstream media and politics. He also digs into his experiences over the years reporting on exorcism, Scientology, and his more recent focus on gender ideology and Britain’s immigration crisis. Drawing on his extensive study of how cults capture and control people, Andrew makes a compelling case for independent thought and healthy skepticism when confronting the dark forces at work in the modern world.

I moderated a ZeroHedge debate between PhD economists and commentators Noah Smith and Peter St Onge on President Trump’s proposal to replace income taxes with tariffs to fund the federal government. As they unpack the economic theories behind these two tax systems, they also analyze the political dynamics involved, the moral justifications for our current spending, and the nature of government itself. Noah is a former professor at Stony Brook University with a popular Substack, “Noahpinion”, and Peter is a former Fellow at the Heritage Foundation who publishes daily economics videos on X (Twitter) and YouTube.

I sat down with Kennedy, former MTV VJ and libertarian commentator, to explore the Gen X mindset, parenting, politics, and faith. She argues that the latchkey-kid upbringing, combined with the Cold War backdrop, instilled in our generation a deep skepticism toward authority—especially the government. Kennedy shares her journey from high school dropout to MTV and what that taught her about education, career, and adulthood. We also dive into the failures of modern government, the philosophical foundations of her faith, and her hopes for the current political realignment. She currently hosts the "Kennedy Saves the World" podcast for Fox News Radio.

I sat down with Katharine Birbalsingh, the controversial headmistress of Michaela Community School in London, to discuss why discipline, structure, and teaching “what to think” are essential for raising children into successful, independent adults. Clearly defined expectations empower students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to thrive both academically and personally. As someone who fondly recalls my more free-range, Gen X upbringing, her views present a welcome challenge to my biases toward freedom and independence. Katharine makes a compelling case for traditional, no-nonsense schooling that prioritizes basic skills, knowledge, and values over educators’ ideologically motivated experiments.
