President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is generally lionized as one of the great American presidents, having been elected an unprecedented four times and seen the nation through the Great Depression and the Second World War, as well as creating some of the most enduring features of the modern welfare state. But was FDR really a hero of the people, or did his policies irrevocably damage the civil liberties and individual freedoms of American citizens?
Matt Kibbe is joined by David T. Beito, author of the new book The New Deal’s War on the Bill of Rights, to discuss FDR’s support for concentration camps for Japanese-Americans, domestic surveillance, and witch hunts. As Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln fall under the scrutiny of modern-day culture warriors, maybe it’s time we took a second look at the complex legacy of America’s 32nd president.

Nearly 30 years after publishing The Diversity Myth, Peter Thiel sits down with Mike Solana to unpack what the book got right and wrong. Thiel argues that social distractions have stunted scientific progress, slowed economic growth and weakened our geopolitical standing. How did anti-Western rhetoric popularized on college campuses in the 90s morph into the culture wars that divide our country today? How can we move past this pessimistic, hyper-political moment and continue building the future?

In an episode on The Joe Rogan Experience, Jordan Peterson criticized extreme climate change policies: “As you stretch out the [climate change] models across time, the errors increase radically. And so maybe you can predict out a week or three weeks or a month or a year, but the farther out you predict, the more your model is in error. And that’s a huge problem when you’re trying to model over 100 years because the errors compound, just like interest.” Peterson cited Hot Talk, Cold Science as support for his views on Twitter. This book has been a time-tested bestseller since publication, offering rare intellectual and moral clarity!
