David E. Bernstein holds a University Professorship chair at the Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, where he has been teaching since 1995. He has also been a visiting professor at the University of Michigan, Georgetown University, William and Mary, Brooklyn Law School, and the University of Turin. Known as a fearless contrarian, Professor Bernstein often challenges the conventional wisdom with prodigious research and sharp, original analysis. His book Rehabilitating Lochner was praised across the political spectrum as “intellectual history in its highest form,” a “fresh perspective and a cogent analysis,” “delightful and informative,” “sharp and iconoclastic,” “well-written and destined to be influential,” and “a terrific work of historical revisionism.” Professor Bernstein blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy (the leading law professor blog) and at Instapundit.com.

Professor Bernstein is married and has three children of mixed Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Spanish-Jewish origin. He prefers not to classify them.

A call for the separation of race and state, backed by a deep dive into the surreal world of racial classification in America...Clarity from Chaos guest: David E. Bernstein, author of Classified: The Untold Story of Racial Classification in AmericaAmericans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, they are ubiquitous in American life. Applying for a job, mortgage, university admission, citizenship, government contracts, and much more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American.While reviewing the surprising history of American racial classifications, Classified raises questions about the classifications' coherence, logic, and fairness; for example:• Should Pakistani, Chinese, and Filipino Americans be in the same category despite their obvious differences in culture, appearance, religion, and more?• Why does the government not allow Americans to classify themselves as bi- or multi-racial?• How did the government decide that a dark-complexioned, burka-wearing Muslim Yemini should be classified as generically white, but a blond-haired, blue-eyed immigrant from Spain should be classified as Hispanic and treated as a member of a minority group?• Why does the government require biomedical researchers to classify study participants by the official racial categories, when the classifications have no scientific basis?In an increasingly diverse society with high rates of intergroup marriage, the American system of racial classification is getting even more arbitrary and absurd. With rising ethno-nationalism threatening democracy around the world, it's also dangerous. Classified argues that the time has come to consider abolishing official racial classification and replace it with the separation of race and state.David E.

We weren’t able to do an episode for our regular Saturday time slot last weekend because Steve was on the road, so we’re doing this mid-week show with a special return guest, philosopher Spencer Case, who in a previous life served in the U.S. Army in deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan. While supportive of our military mission, he had misgivings about how it was all going during his Afghan deployment in 2009 and 2010. Then Steve and Lucretia discuss at length whether conservatives should turn against the military, or at the very least the politicized and bureaucratized military leadership. They spend a lot of time discussing a savage article by an anonymous serving general officer posted by Glenn Reynolds on Instapundit, which says, among other bracing things, “Unreformed, the Department of Defense is an inscrutable labyrinth which invites fraud, waste, and abuse.” To which Steve proposes: maybe we should cut the Pentagon budget in half. The left has always hated the military, while the right always defended it and wanted to spend more, even with its waste and extravagance. But perhaps that support was a contingent relic of the Cold War? What does it mean for the American military if both the left and the right dislike it?

University of Tennessee law professor and Instapundit founder Glenn Reynolds – author of an Encounter Intelligence book on space policy – joins us for a fascinating conversation about America's future in space, which will be dominated by the private sector rather than the work of government space agencies.  We discuss how space can address climate change and global energy problems, how space will inspire new innovation, and what our policy approach should be to encourage more space activity while minimizing international conflict.

Highlights:  “The states with the 3 highest totals of nursing home deaths, California, New York and Pennsylvania, all of them implemented versions of the same policy” “Don't you just love how the permanent political class gets privileges for themselves that they deliberately deny to the rest of us? Isn’t that wonderful?” “What a perfect observation by Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit. Trump is wrecking all generations of Democratic governors who might otherwise have been presidential or vice-presidential timber simply by letting them run things as they see fit. And as Democratic governors run things as they see fit, even Democrat populations are beginning to turn on them.”Timestamps:       [02:42] NY Gov.

The HiT 'cast shares why Cancel Culture won't nail Quentin Tarantino (yet) and interviews Instapundit.com's Glenn Reynolds about his new book, 'The Social Media Upheaval.' You won't look at Twitter or Facebook the same way again.

This week I interview Glenn Reynolds, of Instapundit and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville law school, about his new book, “The Social Media Upheaval.” In a crisp 64 pages, Glenn analogizes social media to a primeval city, where new proximity produces periodic outbreaks of diseases that more isolated people never experienced; traces social media's toxicity to the desperate pursuit of engagement; and proposes remedies both for individual users and for society whole.  All that plus thoughtful advice on dietary supplements and deadlifts! In the news roundup, Matthew Heiman dissects a recent Third Circuit ruling that Amazon can be held strictly liable for products it markets for third parties. Unlike Matthew, I am largely persuaded by the court's ruling on products liability—but Matthew and I both have doubts about its use of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to protect Amazon from failure to warn liability. Maury Shenk and Nick Weaver review the progress of the War on Facial Recognition. Opponents have rolled out the ultimate weapon in modern left ideology—ICE is using it! But facial recognition is still winning, mostly because its opponents are peddling undifferentiated fear of a technology that's already being used for many very different purposes, from anonymously tracking shoppers moving through a store (where the store doesn't need to know the shoppers' identities) to boarding planes (where the airline damn well better know the passengers' identities, and the tech only has a couple of hundred faces to match). Matthew and Nick consider China's seizing and installing spyware on travelers' devices. Turns out, China's practice isn't all that different from most government efforts to extract data from phones, except that the Chinese leave the code on Android devices so that security researchers can reverse engineer China's deepest fears. And what do they fear most? Japanese heavy metal, apparently. Almost makes you feel a bit of empathy for Beijing… Maury also highlights Big Tech's concerns about the UK's particularly aggressive proposal for an online “duty of care.” Nick and I follow the problem of fake cancer cures being advertised on Facebook and YouTube down the usual ratholes—who should be responsible in the first place, and why does Silicon Valley think that algorithms will ever be able to discipline such content? This Week in the U.S.-China trade war: No one seems to know exactly what President Trump's concessions at the G-20 meeting amount to, but more and more U.S. tech companies have decided that moving 30% of their tech sourcing out of China is a good idea no matter how the trade war ends. This war isn't good for U.S. companies, but it's really not good for China's. Which, come to think of it, is what President Trump has said right from the start. Finally, if you're looking for tough government action against contractors with bad cybersecurity, Customs and Border Patrol is your agency.  It has cut ties with Perceptics, the firm that was breached by Boris the Bullet-Dodger, and seems to be readying a debarment proceeding that will cut the firm off from future contracts. Matthew and I speculate that there may be something more behind this harsh remedy—perhaps a lack of prompt contractor candor about the breach. Whatever the context, this proceeding is likely to set a precedent that haunts other contractors long into future. Download the 271st Episode (mp3).

"Twitter is like the crystal meth of social media," says our guest, University of Tennessee Law Professor, Glenn Reynolds, founder of the popular political blog, Instapundit. Twitter "is addictive and ultimately unsatisfying."In this episode we look at why social media is poisoning our politics, journalism and relationships by stoking anger, fear, hyper-partisanship and distrust of others. We ask: "how do we fix it?" "Social media is addictive by design. The companies involved put tremendous amounts of thought and effort into making it that way, so that people will be glued to their screens," writes Glenn in his new book, "The Social Media Upheaval." In our podcast, he cites the work of Columbia University Professor Tim Wu, author of "The Curse of Bigness", who warns about the dangers of excessive corporate and industrial concentration. Glenn is sympathetic to calls to break up social media giants and reign in their political and commercial power.Among other solutions discussed are greater transparency, such as publishing details of algorithms used by Twitter, Facebook, Google and other big internet firms to keep us on their sites.

The "revolving door" is a corrupting influence on both government and industry. So says University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds. He's an outspoken critic of Washington insiders and the blogger behind Instapundit.com, one of America's most widely read political weblogs. On our podcast, Reynolds talks about his intriguing solution to slow down the revolving door: a Surtax that would be imposed on the earnings of high-paid former government officials.

Who is John Galt?   I'm not surprised to hear, via Instapundit, that sales of Ayn Rand's books are reportedly rising. In fact, I've spotted quite a few “Who is John Galt?” bumper stickers cropping up.   Here's the Atlas Society page on the Atlas Shrugged movie still in development. In the meantime, we're part of a real-life version of an Ayn Rand novel.

I really enjoyed speaking to one of the great nicest gentlemen in the media, Todd Feinburg. Todd is a nationally syndicated talk show host and blogger at Barack’s White Lies. I was able to congratulate Todd for being the first to spot Barack Obama’s scrubbing of his website in order to remove all of his anti-surge, immediate withdrawal rhetoric. Todd did what any good blogger would do, he sent tons of emails to the influencers in the blogosphere. Before you knew it, Instapundit was on the case, and eventually the MSM from the NY Daily News to the LA Times, Today Show and Bill O’Reilly. In addition to this, we discussed the Washington Post’s incredibly tough editorial on Barack’s Iraq position as well as some recent polling, shrewd and not so shrewd moves by the McCain campaign and finally, the issue of impending buyer’s remorse for Democrats.

Frank Wilson has been reviewing books professionally since October, 1964. For most of the last decade that he was Books Editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer, he was given to retaining committed bloggers (e.g. Mark Sarvas, Scott Esposito, Ed Champion) to review books. About ten years ago he started blogging at Books Inq. It is one of the most successful blogs in the literary blogosphere.  I interviewed Frank at his home in Philadelphia. We talk about how he established his blog, about the potential and influence of this medium, about the benefits of interactivity and connection and roundtables; Maxine Clarke's crime fiction reviews; the provision of filtering services, shared links and interests; kindred spirits; embedding poetry and essays, and loneliness; about the strange side effects of reading and how passive entertainment becomes unwatchable, how most traditional media eschew feedback; what he looks for in book reviewers; Tchaikovsky's unknown correspondent; the book's connection to life;  the nature of discourse; Instapundit and ‘instalanches;' and those blogs he goes to every morning.  

Last night we filled in for weeknight host Todd Feinberg and had the distinct honor of speaking with one of America's leading political analysts, Mr. Michael Barone. We discussed his new book, The New Americans: How the Melting Pot Can Work Again We also asked him about the impact of blogs. he had some really insightful and funny things to say. He talked about the differences between the left and right blogosphere, how he feels like he doesn't miss much if he goes a day without reading the Washington Post, but a day without Instapundit, well, he could really be missing out on something important. And the icing on the cake, he also took some shots at Maureen Dowd. What is Pundit Review Radio? Pundit Review Radio is where the old media meets the new.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when large companies and powerful governments reigned supreme over the little guy.
