Red-Baiting, the CIA's War in China, and Repression Politics: Interview w/ John Delury | Ep. 135: What does war and violence abroad do to politics at home? Why were early Cold War intellectuals obsessed with who "lost China?" And what did the realists of the 1940s and 1950s believe about not just the limits of American power but how US hegemony might be the road to fascism in America?

Ep. 721 Police-State Liberals Are Using Economic Warfare Against Us: Summary:In this episode I address the exploding economic war liberals are waging against the rest of us. I also discuss how to fight back. I also address John Brennan’s disgraceful role in the framing of the Trump team. News Picks:Russia is developing a deadly weapon we have no defense against. The liberal culture war has spilled into comic books. An explosive piece showing that John Brennan hasn’t been honest about his role in the setup of the Trump team. A Maltese professor played a key role in the Trump investigation. The White House is rejecting media efforts to spin this story. Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved. by The Dan Bongino Show

Two Minutes to Twilight: Are we living through a new Cold War? Possibly. But we’re certainly in a new era of great-power competition between China and Russia and the United States. In a Remnant surprisingly lacking in ‘80s references, historian and American Enterprise Institute scholar Hal Brands joins Jonah to explore what America’s victory over the Soviet Union can teach us about how it should prosecute today’s global conflicts. Hal and Jonah also take a deep, extra-nerdy dive into Cold War history and the nature of American foreign policy during that strange era. Was the Cold War just about economics? Should Joe Biden pursue a modern version of Harry Truman’s containment strategy? And was China’s authoritarian turn inevitable? by The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg
