Maine state senator Eric Brakey is pushing an ambitious legislative agenda that amounts to defying or refusing to cooperate with the federal government on a variety of issues.

And a handful of Republicans, too, but let's be reasonable here: Democrats are vastly, vastly more diluted at this stage of our history than Republicans are. Keith Knight joins us for a lightning round of examples of things that are flat-out false that Democrats nevertheless believe and try to impose on everyone else.

The most direct and radical challenge to the public-health consensus about COVID-19 and the correct response to it has come from a group of scientists who claim that virology itself is pseudoscience that has led mankind down the wrong path. One such scientist, Dr. Mark Bailey, joins us to share his perspective. Sponsor: Persist SEO Show notes for Ep. 2282

Jeff Leskovar wanted to figure out why so many people adopt the whole program of the elites, even though there's no particular reason that someone who favors arming Ukraine should also favor, say, a higher minimum wage. All these positions are nevertheless held as a bundle. Those holding them tend not to want to debate, and seem relatively untroubled by the suppression of their opponents' voices. Jeff thinks he's discovered the reason behind all this, and he shares it with us today.

Warren G. Harding has often come in dead last, or close to it, in historians' rankings of the presidents. These rankings are completely useless, since they simply reflect the political bias of historians. (How can someone nonideologically declare whether a president was a "failure" or not?) Ryan Walters, author of a new biography of the twenty-ninth president, reassesses the brief tenure of a man we've been urged to despise. Sponsor: Blinkist Show notes for Ep. 2278

We hear a lot of anecdotal data about young people struggling, about the problems of high prices and low wages, and millennials living with their parents. I wanted to know how true this was in general, and if it was, what was causing it. So I invited Gene Epstein, King of Data, to join us to get to the bottom of it.

Ali Rak has accumulated about 20 legislative victories, whether getting bad bills defeated or good ones passed, all while living in a blue county in a blue state.

Last year an anonymous group of well-known filmmakers decided to embark on a crucially important project: documenting the truth about the Covid lockdowns: the data, the human stories, all of it. Hawk Jensen -- one person who decided not to remain anonymous -- directed the project, and he and I have an excellent discussion about it.
