Ep. 82 - The Media Hypes White Supremacists Yet Again
Any time a handful of white supremacists gather together, the media rushes to the scene. If I didn't know any better I might begin to suspect that the media is trying to purposefully embolden and legitimize white supremacy so they can use it to discredit the Right.

Ep. 81 - Why My Generation Loves Socialism
It's not hard to figure out why young people today are attracted to socialism. The equation is pretty simple. Bad parenting + bad education = socialists. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 80 - Why 'Love Yourself' Is Horrible Advice
We are far too focused on self-love these days. People have come to believe that self-love is the starting point, and goal, of human life. It isn't. Self-love hardly even makes sense as a concept, and in practice it almost always translates into narcissism. Let's talk about why we should stop worrying about loving ourselves and focus instead on loving others. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 79 - How Social Media Helps Turn Us Into Narcissists
A new mental disorder called "Snapchat dysmorphia" has been invented to describe people who get plastic surgery so that they look better on Snapchat. There is a simple and more accurate term for this: narcissism. Social media fuels narcissism because it encourages us to focus intently on our image, our appearance, ourselves.

Ep. 77 - The Left Claims Only White People Can Be Racist
The Left is defending the racist tweets of a New York Times reporter on the basis that she can't be racist because she isn't white. In the Leftist mind, only those with "institutional power" can be racist, and only white people have that kind of power. This is wrong and nonsensical on several different levels. Let's dissect the wrongness now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 76 - Is The Pope Right About The Death Penalty?
Pope Francis is attempting to overturn 2,000 years of Church teaching on the death penalty. Christianity has always taught, and Scripture says, and men like Aquinas and Augustine have affirmed, that the death penalty is morally permissible. The Pope disagrees. Is he wrong? We'll talk about that on the show today. (But yes, he's wrong). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 75 - What is the Point of Evangelical Atheism?
I don't understand evangelical atheism. If life is objectively meaningless, and we are but physical matter headed into an eternal oblivion, why do you care what other people believe? Why are you trying to convert us into unbelief? What does it matter? What does anything matter? Let's talk about it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 74 - Jesus Is Not A Socialist
I can't believe I have to say this, but, no, Jesus is not a socialist. He does not see poverty as a social disease to be cured by a power from on high. He could do that Himself if He wanted to. But that's not the point. The point is that we as individuals are supposed to CHOOSE to help and love our fellow humans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 73 - The New York Times Just Published An Extraordinarily Racist Article
The New York Times published an article lamenting the fact that there are so many white people in New Hampshire. The Left continues to engage in blatant bigotry against white people under the guise of pushing "diversity." But socially engineered diversity is wrong and self-defeating. It's also extremely racist, for many reasons. We will discuss those reasons now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 72 - Voters Should Be Required To Take A Civics Exam
We say that it's everyone's civic duty to vote. That's not exactly true. It's everyone's civic duty to be informed and contributing members of society. If they haven't fulfilled that duty, then it's extremely bad for them to vote. An ignorant, self-centered vote serves only to cancel out the votes of informed people. We could easily solve this problem by holding voters to a very basic standard of awareness and maturity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 71 - Why Introverts Hate Small Talk
For a change of pace from the heavier topics, let's talk about the most misunderstood group in human society: introverts. We are often accused of being "anti-social," and "hating people," and so on, but none of that is true. We just have no need for, and do not enjoy, constant noise and pointless chatter.

Ep 70 - Inventing Another Fake Environmental Crisis
Supposedly, our plastic straws are destroying the environment. We are told that we use 500 million straws a day, and many of them somehow end up in the ocean. Both of these claims are false.

Ep. 69 - The Church Is Plagued By Cowardice
The disease that infects the church in America is cowardice. Many Christians are afraid to stand for moral truth. The persecution we face is very light, yet we cower from it in fear. There can be no resurgence of faith in America until there is a resurgence of courage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 67 - The Inconvenient Truth About The Catholic Church Sex Scandal
The Catholic Church started admitting a significant percentage of gay priests in the 60s and 70s. It was right at this time that the sexual abuse of altar boys became a huge problem. These two things are not unrelated. The one leads to the other. This is the glaringly obvious fact that any rational person can recognize, but few will say out loud. Christianity in the West is infested with cowards who will not even admit the truths that are right in front of them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 66 - The Secularization of Christianity
I got an email from a Christian who tells me that I should save the God stuff for church and talk about other subjects. I hear this kind of thing a lot from Christian readers/viewers. It is a symptom of the secularization of faith in America. We treat faith and "the real world" as two entirely separate things that should not cross over into one another. But I don't think that is the right approach, and here's why. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 65 - Our Country Needs More Masculinity, Not Less
A new campaign seeks to "evolve masculinity" by turning men into emasculated weaklings. But this does not represent an evolution. The new version of masculinity is a devolution from the traditional version. And that's a problem because this country desperately needs masculine men. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 64 - We're All Mentally Disordered
The drug companies and the psychiatric industry have turned nearly every human emotion, trait, characteristic, and weakness into symptoms of mental diseases. Often they do so by pushing thoroughly debunked theories like "chemical imbalancement." Before long, we will all be mentally disordered. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 63 - Why Is God Hidden?
Today I want to address what I think is maybe the best atheist argument against the existence of God. It's also a question that we Believers have been grappling with for centuries: Where is God? Why does He remain invisible to us? Why doesn't He reveal Himself unmistakably to all of us? I don't claim to have THE answer to that question. Nobody does. But here are my thoughts on the subject.

Ep. 62 - There Is Nothing Uplifting Or Empowering About Stupid, Trashy Pop Music
Ariana Grande is out with a trashy and utterly stupid song and video called “God is a woman.” The media has hailed it as empowering and uplifting for women. But, like most pop music, it is neither of those things. It is exactly the opposite, in fact. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 61 - The PC Mob Gets Another Head For Its Trophy Case
The PC mob's latest victim is Papa John. He said the N-word, while quoting someone else who said the N-word, and now he has been forced to resign in disgrace because of it. This is absurd. A word itself cannot be racist. A word is just a word. But this is really about the Left's mission to control language and thus control society. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 60 - The Left Won't Stop Pushing Its Religion On Us
We Christian conservatives are accused of "pushing religion" whenever we make pretty much any argument, but especially when we argue against abortion. But the argument against abortion has nothing at all to do with religion. It has to do with science, and with the universal moral law. It is the argument for abortion that is based on religion. That is, the Left's satanic religion of self-worship. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 59 - Why Does A Good God Allow Bad Things?
An atheist asked me how I can believe that God exists, and is good, considering all of the terrible stuff that happens in the world. This, of course, is one of the most common objections people have been making against God for millennia. I think it is worth addressing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 58 - There Is No Such Thing As A Pro-Abortion Conservative
Tomi Lahren insists that conservatives need to let go of the pro-life cause and stop trying to overturn Roe. She's wrong. Any so-called conservative who adopts the Left's position on abortion is wrong. And they aren't actually conservative in any meaningful way. Learn more about your ad choices.

Laura Ingalls Wilder is the latest (white) historical figure to be posthumously condemned and shunned for her “cultural insensitivity” and “racism.” On the show today I will explain why it is incredibly stupid, and pointless, and hypocritical, to judge historical people for their old fashioned ideas about race.

Some people have been predicting a coming civil war. I don't think that will happen. We're too lazy to fight a civil war.

Ep. 54 - We Shouldn't Be Ashamed Of Our History
In the west, we are constantly told that we must apologize for our history and tear down the statues and monuments of our historical heroes. The pioneers who built our civilization must all be posthumously indicted for their alleged crimes and we must spit on their graves and express no admiration for their achievements. Only white western countries are required to be so ashamed of their past. It is not expected of anyone else. I think this attitude is nonsense, and disgraceful, and I want to explain why.

Ep. 53 - It's Not The Government's Job To Be "Compassionate"
I have been told that it's not "compassionate" for the government to catch illegal immigrants and deport them. But it's not the government's job to be compassionate. The government's job is to make and enforce laws. Individuals should be compassionate and generous. The Left has been trying for years to relieve the individual from the burden of personal virtue and charity, and that's really what this debate is all about. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 52 - There Isn’t Any Nice Or Pleasant Way To Enforce Our Immigration Law
It's hard to have a discussion about immigration law with people who think there shouldn’t be any immigration laws at all. The Left is being disingenuous. They say they have a problem with separating kids, but really they have a problem with immigration enforcement of any kind. But we cannot have a country if we do not have clearly defined, and strictly enforced, borders. The process of defining and enforcing the border will not always be pleasant. But it can be just. Those two things are not the same. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 51 - We Have Ceased To See The Purpose
The crisis in American culture is twofold: we do not know WHO we are, and we do not know WHY we are. We are confused about our identity and our purpose. But a person cannot live, and he certainly cannot be happy, unless he knows who he is and where he is going. We need to restore our sense of identity and purpose. Learn more about your ad choices.

Whenever suicide is in the news, well intentioned people say really horrible and dangerous things about it. In an effort to be kind and generous to the dead, they end up justifying, glorifying, and promoting suicide, which is very harmful to the living.

Ep. 46 - You Don't Give Up Your "Freedom" When You Have Kids
The "child-free movement" says that the only way to be free and happy is to avoid having kids at all costs. Many people in my generation have taken this idea to heart, and as a result the birth rate has dropped to cataclysmic lows. But the "child-free" mentality is wrong, and leads only to emptiness and sadness, and I'll explain why. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ep. 45 - Guilt Is Good
The Church today treats guilt as a bad thing. Many Christians think that they ought never feel guilty, and that feelings of guilt should be rejected and overcome through positive-thinking. But this is a serious error. Guilt is our soul's response to sin. It is good that we have that response if we are in fact guilty of something. But what do we do with guilt? What can we learn from it and where should it lead us? That's what I want to talk about today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Millennials are generally blamed for everything in our society, even though our country was already financially and culturally and spiritually ruined before my generation came of age. Yes, many of us tend to be entitled and selfish. But they learned it from their entitled, selfish parents, who seem to always get off the hook somehow.

Just because you have free speech does not mean you are free from the consequences of your speech. Some speech ought to be shamed and shunned by society.
