Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative valuesBonus Episode - My Conversation / Intervention with Justin Stapley Justin Stapley and I have been on similar journeys these past many years seeking to better understand our worldviews and the ever-changing political moment and how best to restore sanity and integrity to our politics. But while I've been diligently producing podcast episodes for these past seven years, Justin has launched a dizzying array of projects.

Here's the various blogs and efforts I've done since 2016... Never Tyranny was my first anonymous...

Self-EvidentEp. 10 - When Factions are the CureTranscriptWelcome to the Self-Evident podcast. It’s been quite a while since my last episode. Life has been crazy, school has been crazy, and, honestly, I just do what I have time to do. Since it’s been so long, I decided to make an episode in connection to the debate triggered recently by an article written by Jonah Golberg about the idea of creating new conservative third parties. I won’t go into too much detail. I and many, many others have delved into this debate and I’d suggest doing some reading of the various...

Self-EvidentEp. 9 - "Military Grade" WeaponsTranscriptWhat is a military-grade weapon? Should any of the firearms currently on the market in the United States be considered military-grade? Specifically, is the AR-15 a military-grade weapon? These questions are difficult to answer because “military-grade weapon” is another term in a long list of terms being used in the gun debate that have no specific, relevant meaning. But, for the sake of argument, I’m going to attempt to find a working definition of “military-grade” in this episode of the Self-Evident podcast. So, here we go. Full-Automatic FireThe most obvious firearm featur...

Self-EvidentEp. 8 - Prudence Over Principles?TranscriptWhile the conservative movement has fallen short of the outright civil war that’s often talked about in the media, there are multiple flashpoints that are creating general paralysis in the movement as the various factions of conservative thought try to find a way forward. Even the small and, up until recently, mostly cohesive remnant of conservatives who’ve chosen to stand athwart the nationalist and populist trends in the broader conservative movement are losing themselves in internal squabbles over what to do next. As a member of that remnant, I have begun pondering many o...

The Republic” and the tremendous anchor the “Stop the Steal” effort is creating for the Republican Party’s near future and long term ability to truly make a case to all Americans for realigning the country towards a conservative vision.

That was really pushed to the limits in 2020. There has been so much emphasis on what went wrong in 2020 that it is hard to think about what being thankful in 2020.
So, I called up and texted a bunch of my friends and asked them what they have to be thankful for in 2020. So, hear from Ben Stapley, Robert Caries, Justin Nava, Jeff Reed, Cory Sullivan, Ben Kerns, and Jeanette Yates as they wish y...
