Philosopher, scholar and political theorist Dr. Yoram Hazony joins John for a rich and interweaving conversation about conservatism, nationalism, democracy and modern politics.

Dr. Hazony, author of several books on these matters, provides a compelling critique of the political right - where it has gone wrong, the great benefits it can convey for society and how it diverges from liberalism. John and Yoram touch on many important topics, including multiculturalism, identity politics, globalism and the question of why nationalism seems surrounded by an unearned air of controversy.

If they wanted the states to have the power, they would have mentioned the states.

700 million, "tens of thousands of migrants", that's about ten to seventy thousand per head. And that's just for transporting them!

Corruption? I wouldn't be very much surprised, simply because rich people in positions of power are like that.

The part about the informant reminded me of another informant that swore up and down that Saddam Hussein had huge stockpiles of "weapons of mass destruction" -remember that? There weren't any.

By a trick of memory, I am also reminded of the previous Gulf war, and the harrowing testimony before Congress of a 15 year old girl about witnessing Iraqi soldiers emptying and taking incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital and leaving Kuwaiti babies to die on the cold hard floor. This also turned out to be a completely fictional story, told by (it was later revealed) the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, that had been coached by a public relations firm called Hill & Knowlton, that was at the time contracted by the Kuwaiti government.

So I guess you can't always trust informants or evidence produced by republican activity.

Obviously, this should be here for easy reference. Instead of reading politicized punditry, you can just read Project 2025's roadmap directly.

Iowa will not participate this summer in a federal program that gives $40 per month to each child in a low-income family to help with food costs while school is out, state officials have announced.

The state has notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture that it will not participate in the 2024 Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children — or Summer EBT — program, the state’s Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Education said in a Friday news release.

“Federal COVID-era cash benefit programs are not sustainable and don’t provide long-term solutions for the issues impacting children and families. An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,” Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release.

I know it's old, but it's a perfect example of why you have to check definitions when looking at politically charged studies.
