This was the first Unregistered Live Conference, on the politics of COVID-19, featuring two of the most brilliant commentators on the events of the last two years I know: Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute, who organized the Great Barrington Declaration, and Geoffrey Tucker of New York University and the host of the Outsider Theory podcast. We were also joined by Sam Husseini, one of the very few journalists working on the issue of government bioweapons research labs.

The host of the acclaimed history podcast Martyrmade, Darryl Cooper, joined me to discuss his groundbreaking work on the Palestine-Israel conflict and the history of the People's Temple, many of whose members lived in my childhood neighborhood.

James Lindsay, the leading critic of Critical Race Theory and the "woke" left, joined me to discuss the battle over how we think about race in America and to ponder the possibilities of a nationalist populist revolution.

At a time when more of us are believing conspiracy theorists than ever before, I questioned Richard Grove of the legendary Grand Theft World podcast about his theory of a century-long coordinated effort by global elites to control the earth's population.

As parents across the country are protesting at school boards and taking their children out of public schools, Corey DeAngelis spoke with me about the effects of the lockdown on the education system, the meaning of public schooling, and the radical idea that parents should choose what is taught to their children.

I was joined from Moscow by the most dangerous philosopher in the world, Alexander Dugin, to discuss his claim that modernity is the greatest mistake in human history.

Anna Khachiyan of the Red Scare podcast joined me for a wide-ranging conversation about the Kyle Rittenhouse case, the meaning of “neoliberalism,” and why she thinks she’s stupid.

As we awaited the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, Batya Ungar-Sargon and I discussed the argument in her book Bad News that wokeness serves the economic interests of wealthy liberals.

In the closing event of the Renegade University Weekend in Texas, Buck Johnson of the Counterflow podcast joined me onstage to discuss my history with labels and the problem of political categorization.

At Renegade University Weekend in Texas, Cody Wilson sat down with me to discuss his wars with the government as the outlaw apostle of 3D-printed guns and the lessons he's drawn from postmodernist cultural theory.

James Lindsay joined me to discuss and name the various forms of authoritarianism now prevalent in American life.

I spoke with Germinal Van, the author of 20 books on politics and economics, about growing up in the Ivory Coast with a communist father, his love of the United States, the ways in which the ideas of Adam Smith and John Locke can be applied to contemporary issues, and the cultural similarities and differences between West Africans and black Americans.
