In this episode, we will discuss how he found his way on the complete opposite end of the political spectrum. We’ll also discuss his experience advocating for the Left’s radical ideas and his latest book, “The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America.”

Four years ago, Hillbilly Elegy was a well regarded memoir, now, with its 2020 Netflix adaptation, the work has become critically panned and the subject of endless controversy. The author, J.D. Vance, wrote about his upbringing in the Appalachian regions of Kentucky and Middletown, Ohio. A look into the history and values in this area of the country, it was recommended by mainstream outlets and cultural leaders in mass for insight into the plights of the white working class that impacted the 2016 election. That praise was short lived, however, when the nearly unanimous edict came down from the media that the trials of impoverished white Americans were insignificant and should be ignored. J.D. joins the show to discuss the book, the media’s harsh shift, and how conservatives can connect with the Appalachian and Rust Belt regions of the country moving forward.

Based on a single tweet crying transphobia, Target pulled a book from their shelves nationwide. Abigail Shrier, the author of that book, joins the show today. “Irreverseible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” explores the alarming new trend of teens self-diagnosing themselves with rapid onset gender disphoria. A condition that was relatively rare and generally only seen among young boys, has now skyrocketed in young girls. The problem wouldn’t be as profound, however, if it weren’t for the medical, scientific, and education establishment that has completely surrendered to woke activists, and now actively enable and encourage young people to irreversibly damage their bodies and compromise their futures. 

Abigail joins the show to discuss her book, the struggles she has faces with spreading her message, and if conservatives and common sense liberals can ever have unity enough to find a solution.

As the legacy media continues to display overt political bias and seek to deceive the American people, the public has begun to turn to members of the replacement media who seek and speak the truth without covert bias. One of the most popular voices to arise from this public demand is our guest today, journalist, commentator, and youtuber, Tim Pool. Once an on-the-ground reporter in conflict zones around the world, Tim has found new traction with his work exposing the malfeasance of Antifa, the radical left, and the media that continue to cover for them. Tim joins the show today to discuss his journalist work against a media more concerned with their political agenda than the truth, as well as what the future may hold for that fight under a new administration.

Professor Hanson and I discuss all this and more.
