    Citizens on the Move
    Sep 13 2024
    The contemporary social planner seems to favor all sorts of peoples' movements—except for the kind that involves automobiles, driven by citizens away from dense urban cores into the suburbs that they can afford. Today, Joel Kotkin (author of The Human City and The Coming of Neo-Feudalism) joins the podcast to discuss the new class of urbanists who brim with ideas for a city that won't work for the people meant to occupy them.

    Plus, Steve, James and Charlie quibble over Tuesday's debate, and they reflect on another 9/11 anniversary.



    - Soundclip from this week's open: Donald Trump and David Muir from ABC's Trump/Harris debate.

    A Warning Against Nihilism
    Sep 6 2024
    They say Labor Day marks the ordinary American's starting point for following a particular election cycle, setting off a scramble for undecides by campaigners and a busy couple of months for pollsters. Henry Olsen returns to discuss where things stand in the presidential race as we head toward the first debate; he offers some potential outcomes that will determine the extent of the Republican majority in the Senate; and he expands on his piece about the populist parties' successes in eastern Germany, explaining "Ostalgie," and detailing the adjustments mainstream parties will have to make if they want to maintain stability in the West.

    Plus, James and Charlie are emphatically pro-Churchill.



    - This week’s opening sound: Darryl Cooper's take on Winston Churchill in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
