Every time I talk with Scott Horton, who in my opinion is the best expert on U.S. foreign relations from an antiwar perspective, I learn more than I did from taking entire university courses on the subject. I can virtually guarantee that you will possess new ways of thinking about the wars in Yemen and Syria, the Biden foreign policy team, the expansion of NATO, and U.S.-Russia relations after listening to this episode.

Born and raised at the end of Jim Crow in Opelousas, Louisiana and now a professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Cedric Johnson joined me to discuss his origins in black institutions in the post-segregation South and his brilliantly provocative scholarly work attacking the very ideas of race, “whiteness,” “blackness” and what’s called anti-racism.

I was joined by the historian, philosopher, and rock star Alexander Bard from his home in Stockholm to discuss the ways in which academia, capitalism, traditional politics, and the nation-state are being replaced by digital freedom.

I spoke with Mark Crispin Miller, a distinguished professor of media studies at New York University whose work I’ve known for decades, about the efforts by administrators at NYU and colleagues in his own department to censor, punish, and remove him. Miller’s crime has been “excessive skepticism” about such things as COVID lockdowns and the integrity of the election.

I sat down with one of the last real journalists in the United States, Katie Herzog, formerly a highly controversial staff writer at the alt-weekly newspaper The Stranger and now a less controversial but freer and highly successful podcaster as the co-host of Blocked and Reported with Jesse Singal. We discussed Trump’s claims of electoral fraud, the infantilization of Americans, whether she would vote to convict someone she knew to be innocent if it would stop the outbreak of lethal civil unrest, and the politics of removing her beloved dog’s genitalia.

I spoke with Ivor Cummins, one of the leading critics in the world on the efficacy of lockdowns and masks in preventing the spread of COVID-19. I can now walk outside without a mask and denounce the soul-killing lockdowns and know that plenty of science is on my side.

The renowned blogger Curtis Yarvin, also known by his former pen name Mencius Moldbug, returned to the podcast to bend my mind on the politics of COVID, the meaning of a Biden presidency, and a host of other issues that I thought I knew well. No one makes me think harder.

How many people in other countries has Trump killed? What will Biden do to the rest of the world? Do Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping want to conquer America? The journalist James Carden, who served as policy adviser to the Special Representative for Intergovernmental Affairs and the Office of Russia Affairs at the US State Department, answered these questions in a wonderfully clarifying conversation.

A life-long big-city gun-phobe, I spoke with three of the leading distributors of information on DIY and 3D-printed guns: CTRLPew, Jeff Rodriguez, and Ivan. There are now untold numbers of unregistered home-made guns in the United States, possibly in the hundreds of millions, which supplement the 400 million legally registered firearms owned by Americans. My three guests are accomplishing nothing less than the subversion of the state’s monopoly on violence and helping to create a society that could never be occupied or colonized, either by foreign enemies or the U.S. government itself. But is this a good thing?

I was joined by Gustavo Arellano—author of Ask A Mexican and Taco USA, formerly the sage of the OC Weekly, and now a columnist for the Los Angeles Times—to discuss why Trump got so many Latino votes, the plight of immigrants in the pandemic and under lockdowns, the rich and complex history of Mexico, and what the hell “Latino” means anyway.
