We have discussed the issue of national divorce on the show quite a few times, but we have never considered how the rest of the world reacts to one? So today, thanks to questions from our online community, especially those by Chris and Joshua, we will ask questions like if the US were to go to war, what would China, Russia, the EU, and our neighbors do? Would they directly intervene, or would one side appeal to foreign support? Would they send troops? Join our community chat:...

Are old-school traditional roles and morals about sex bad for society and especially women? That seems to be the claim. One of the main thrusts of modern feminism is the justification for the sexual revolution. But we are going to review another claim being made about a different sexual revolution that took place well over 1000 years ago.

We have arguably not seen college protests like this since the 1960s. They are becoming more disruptive, more violent, and increasingly more extreme in their demands. So today, we are going to address some important questions…What is actually going on? Where is it actually taking place because it isn't just on University campuses? Why is it actually happening? And what, if anything, should be done about it? Sponsored by: Good Ranchers Don’t let inflation grill your budget! Protect your wallet...

In an interesting interview between Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, Tucker suggested that it is a foregone conclusion that our elected officials are afraid of the intelligence community. This, of course, suggests that members of Congress are in some way being blackmailed…so here is the question…how do we separate crackpot conspiracy theories from that which is entirely plausible? And that is the question we are going to discuss and answer in this episode of Making the Argument. Sponsored By:...

Those who have gone after Trump in court, among other places, are now voicing concern that if Trump gets elected, there will be retaliation. In times past, you would have heard plenty of people on the right condemning such action as a principled and a slippery slope…but what happens when the slippery slope is already here? Today we will discuss what right-wing retaliation might look like if Trump gets elected. Sponsored by: Good Ranchers Tired of rising meat prices? Good Ranchers is...

Iran has attacked Israel directly, launching over 300 drones and missiles into Israel, targeting a combination of military and civilian targets. But with minimal effect.

The operational environment sucks. Let's be honest. It is almost instantly mocked when we say it is hard for young men these days. Still, when you look at stats that matter, things like inflation, the growing rift between young men and young women, 4th wave feminism, I think it needs to be acknowledged that while material wealth and physical security remain high, our fundamentals are off in a way that can be far worse than other forms of difficulty. Ask yourself, would you rather grow up in a...

Most people think that Hollywood has lost its ever-loving mind. But what if it hasn't? What if Hollywood is doing what it has been doing for a reason, and it has a lot less to do with entertainment than something else? This has resulted in the utter destruction of beloved characters, movies, and series and their replacement with a long line of poorly written Mary Sue characters in service to an ideology.

Many people are understandably concerned about how "wokeness" has infiltrated just about every area of our lives, with otherwise intelligent people accepting obvious absurdities in the name of "greater social awareness."

It's becoming more and more likely that Trump has a modest - yet persistent - lead in the 2024 election against Biden. So obviously, Democrats and their water-carrying allies in the media plan on pivoting towards the center to try and convince more voters that their candidate is the better choice, right? Hardly.
