I sat down with senior editor at Reason and host of The Hill’s “Rising” Robby Soave to explore the shifting landscape of media and politics in America. Robby provides a sharp critique of how the media has changed its tune on President Biden’s cognitive state, rapidly pivoting from denial to feigned shock and distress following the debate. He discusses how, although audience capture can corrupt both corporate legacy media and independent social media, the latter is far more resistant to the top-down engineering of public perception. Looking back fondly at the ‘good old days’ of Walter Cronkite may be comforting to some, but in reality, the only difference was the style of presentation. Centralized media institutions have never been, and will never be, unbiased purveyors of truth. With the technology most of us carry in our pockets every day, we have a better opportunity than ever before to make the most of our First Amendment rights.

I sat down with author, historian, and libertarian commentator Tom Woods about 90 minutes after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Reeling from the shock of this historic moment, we attempt to wade through its profound implications for the American Republic. Drawing on his wealth of historical knowledge, Tom analyzes how political tribalism, media echo chambers, and “state of emergency” governance are eroding our constitutional framework. He presents chapters from American history that outline our past and present pitfalls and model an optimistic path forward for Americans.

I sat down with Hannah Frankman, founder of Renegade Educator and an advocate for alternative education models, to explore her insights on the flaws in traditional public schooling and the innovative approaches that could shape the future of learning. Hannah shares her personal experience growing up as a homeschool kid, which she believes is a more natural and effective approach that reflects how humans have learned for almost all of history. We delve into various educational models, from Montessori and Waldorf to micro-schools and homeschooling, and how each can foster critical thinking, creativity, and self-directed learning in children. Hannah also highlights the role of technology in education and the potential of micro-schools to revolutionize how we think about learning environments.
