David Murrow joins us to discuss his book Why Men Hate Going to Church. Why does the American church skew female? How did he get interested in this topic?

Scholar Stephen Baskerville joined the show to discuss his book The New Politics of Sex, and how the intersection of ideology with the legal regime has de facto abolished family. Baskerville strongly criticizes conservatives for having made peace with the divorce regime that underlies every social pathology in America. His red hot takes are totally unlike anything else you'll see in conservative circles.
