This episode is one that Matt and Sam have been anticipating for years: after two-and-a-half decades of research and writing, Sam Tanehaus's authoritative biography of William F. Buckley, Jr.—youthful booster of America First, enfant terrible at Yale, CIA agent, founder of National Review, best-selling author, brilliant television host, and more—has blessedly arrived. Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America stretches to just under 900 pages of text, before you get to the endnotes and index, an appropriately epic biography of an overstuffed, consequential life, containing far more than could be covered in a single episode. This conversation focuses on the challenges of writing a biography of a man whose archives rivaled those found in presidential libraries; Tanenhaus's discovery of a newspaper the Buckley's owned in South Carolina that essentially was a mouthpiece for the White Citizens' Council, and the Southern roots of Buckley's "northern segregationist" politics; the influence of his oilman father, who fled the revolution in Mexico and instilled anti-communist politics, as well as the Catholic faith, in his children; Buckley's role in forging the post-war conservative movement, through National Review and his frenetic endeavors as a columnist and speaker; the controversies, disappointments, failures, and triumphs of his decades-long career; and more. Sources:Sam Tanenhaus, Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America (2025)— Whittaker Chambers: A Biography (1997)John Judis, William F.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Jim explores the Book of Nehemiah, highlighting resilience and faith. Nehemiah represents the Holy Spirit, showing how God restores and empowers us to face inner battles. Our weaknesses can become strengths when filled with God's grace, much like Kintsugi, the art of repairing pottery with gold. Jim discusses Nehemiah's fight against Sanballat's psychological attacks, urging us to see these as spiritual warfare and to stand firm with God's Word. This message encourages using vulnerabilities to grow in faith.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49454708   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/2f7316e5   ☞ NEXT STEPS

Knowing we have an enemy is only half the Bible. We need to know his tactics. In this sermon, we see who Satan and the fallen angels are and what they try to do.

We are not just living in a broken world—we're living behind enemy lines. Every day, we face invisible battles that target our faith, peace, identity, and purpose. But God hasn't left us unprotected or unaware. In this powerful series based on Ephesians 6:10-18, we'll uncover the truth about spiritual warfare and learn how to stand strong with the full armor of God. From the belt of truth to the sword of the Spirit, you'll be equipped to resist the enemy, fight with confidence, and live alert with spiritual authority. It's time to stop living unaware and start standing victorious—fully dressed for the battle we face.

Message by Pastor Jeff Schreve on Thursday, June 5, 2025

Attentive listeners will notice that this episode is about a book but isn't an author interview. That's because it's the first in a new occasional series of episodes that will be dedicated to books by conservative writers that we think are important — whether because a book articulates the right's approach to an issue or problem in an especially revealing way, influenced or galvanized the conservative movement when it was published, or, with the benefit of hindsight, has proven to be prescient about where the right, and perhaps the country, were heading. Many of these books will be from decades past, but our first selection is more recent: Christopher Caldwell's 2020 broadside against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and what it wrought, The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties. Caldwell argues that the apparatus created by civil rights legislation and the federal courts in the 1960s amounted to a new, second constitution that displaced the one Americans had lived under since the founding, one that jettisoned traditional liberties like freedom of association and replaced democratic self-government with rule by bureaucrats, lawyers, and judges. Who has access to these new levers of power? Not the working class whites who are neither a favored racial or ethnic minority — a person of color — nor a member of the progressive elites who preside over the new regime. Much of The Age of Entitlement is dedicated to tracing the effects of civil rights legislation when it comes to the causes that arose in its wake: feminism, immigrant rights, gay marriage, and more. But the book is equally a brutal examination of the legacy of the Baby Boom generation (and, by extension, Ronald Reagan, whose presidency they powered), that most "entitled" of generations, whom Caldwell deplores for wanting to have their cake and eat it, too. Boomers, in Caldwell's telling, refused to straightforwardly reject the second constitution and its distributional demands, while also insisting petulantly, again and again, on having their taxes cut. We explore these topics and more, and end with a discussion of where Caldwell leaves the reader — and where we're at now, in light of the challenge he poses to both conservatives and the left.Sources:Christopher Caldwell, The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties (2020)— Reflections on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West (2009)Helen Andrews, "The Law That Ate the Constitution," Claremont Review of Books, Winter 2020Timothy Crimmins, "America Since the Sixties: A History without Heroes," American Affairs, Summer 2020Perry Anderson, "Portents of Eurabia," The National, Aug 27, 2009. ...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

Among the many factors credited for Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race was one that, naturally, the hosts of Know Your Enemy took an interest in: podcasts. More specifically, "bro" podcasts—think Joe Rogan or Theo Von—seemed to be one reason why Trump continued, as he did in 2016 and 2020, to perform so well with male voters, especially gaining ground with younger, Black, and Latino men. An episode of one of these podcasts might stretch to three hours long or more, and typically features meandering, casual conversations that put a premium on apparent authenticity, as well as a knack for hanging with the boys. Trump and other Republican candidates and figures on the right (such as Elon Musk, a regular on Rogan's show) made appearing on these podcasts part of their campaign strategy, which allowed them to reach men who tend not to "follow politics" or even vote in every election. To try to understand what's happening with bros, podcasts, Trump, and beyond, there was no better guest than New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz, author of an early—and quite perceptive—piece on KYE and, more importantly for this conversation, a recent investigation into the world of bro podcasts and streamers, and what they might mean for both the left and the right at the start of Trump's second term.Sources:Andrew Marantz, "The Battle for the Bros," The New Yorker, Mar 17, 2025— "Is the U.S. Becoming and Autocracy," The New Yorker, April 28, 2025-- "Why We Can't Stop Arguing About Whether Trump Is a Fascist," The New Yorker, March 27, 2024— "The Post-Dirtbag Left," The New Yorker, July 26, 2021 Jonathan Allen & Amie Parnes, "The inside story of Harris' lost gamble on Joe Rogan, Beyoncé and a late Texas rally," NBC News, Jan 29, 2025Jack Crosbie, "Hasan Piker: A Progressive Mind in a MAGA Body," New York Times, April 27, 2025...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

From plotlines involving taboos like patriarchy, incest, and family violence to themes of alienation, class antagonism, and desire, the show's last season offers plentiful grist for the psychoanalytic mill, and Abby, Patrick, and Sam tackle all these with gusto (and plenty of spoilers). In addition to discussing the text on its own terms, they reflect on its popularity as a social symptom that implicates collective fantasies and anxieties about friendship, sexuality, money, religion, and more. As the three explore, contextualizing the show in political and ideological terms reveals not just the idiosyncratic preoccupations of The White Lotus's creator, Mike White, but the paradoxes of how American audiences and the prestige TV shows we love navigate questions of desire, identity, cultural and sexual difference, and the repressions that underwrite them. Know Your Enemy: A Podcast About the American Right: https://www.patreon.com/knowyourenemy  Sam Adler-Bell, “The Movie Industry's Confused ‘Eat the Rich' Fantasy”: https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/the-movie-industrys-confused-eat-the-rich-fantasy.htmlNeil Websdale, Familicidal Hearts: The Emotional Styles of 211 Killers: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/familicidal-hearts-9780199325849Imogen Binnie, Nevada: https://bookshop.org/p/books/nevada-imogen-binnie/17839995 Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Recently Matt joined Moira Donegan and Adrian Daub of the excellent In Bed with the Right podcast to record what turned out to be two episodes about Roy Cohn—the "lawyer, closet case and ratfucker extraordinaire," as they describe him. These days Cohn is perhaps most infamous for being Donald Trump's lawyer and mentor, but this first episode focuses on Cohn's childhood and family life, his decisive role in the Rosenberg trial (especially their execution), and his time working with Sen. Joe McCarthy at the height of the Red Scare. After you listen, please head over to In Bed with the Right to check out the second episode on Cohn and hear the rest of his story.Sources:Nicholas von Hoffman, Citizen Cohn: The Life and Times of Roy Cohn (1988)Christopher M.

The passing of Pope Francis on April 21, 2025 marked not just the end of a papacy but the end of an era in global politics. The moment in which Francis spoke before Congress a decade ago and identified Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, and Martin Luther King as models of Christian moral witness feels like another universe — far from the cruel, cramped, suspicious, and selfish world we are living in. What was the Francis era? Where did he come from, and how did he become pope? And what are we losing — besides a pretty good pope — with his passing from the mortal realm? Matt and Sam discuss the passing of Pope Francis and what his papacy meant (to us and to the world), why he scandalized the Catholic right, and why his message feels so necessary and yet so far away. Further Reading: Vinson Cunningham, "Many and One," Commonweal, Dec 14, 2020. Dorothy Fortenberry, "The climate apocalypse is also a religious crisis," Vox, April 12, 2023.Abeer Salman and Oren Liebermann, "The pope called them every night until his final hours.

America stands at an economic precipice where the next few years will determine whether we face catastrophic collapse or unexpected revival.In this solo episode, we dive deep into the precarious state of America's economy and explore a potential path forward based on insights from Joe Withrow of the Phoenician League. The discussion examines the unprecedented economic situation facing the United States and presents a surprising perspective on how recent policy proposals could potentially avert a sovereign debt crisis.With nearly half of the national debt coming due in the next three years and interest payments projected to overtake Social Security by 2026, the solutions presented offer a radical rethinking of federal assets and how they might be leveraged to save America's financial future.Economic Reality Check: Current economic conditions are unprecedented in our lifetime, with interest payments on the national debt projected to surpass Social Security as the largest budget item by 2026 if nothing changes.Global Financial Power Struggle: The Federal Reserve appears engaged in a power struggle with European central banks, with implications for America's financial future despite the Fed's inherent flaws.Revolutionary Economic Approach: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's proposal for creating an External Revenue Service and a Sovereign Wealth Fund could transform government finances by properly valuing federal assets.Looming Debt Crisis: Nearly $17 trillion in US treasuries (almost half the national debt) is due over the next three years, requiring decisive action to prevent financial catastrophe.Innovative Asset Strategy: Leasing federal land for energy and mining, taking stakes in defense contractors, and leveraging gold reserves could generate hundreds of billions in annual revenue through a new Sovereign Wealth Fund.▶️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction & Economic Crossroads 01:00 - Setting Up the Solo Episode Context03:00 - Macro vs Microeconomics Perspective05:00 - Joe Withrow's Insights on Global Economic Struggles10:00 - The Federal Reserve vs European Central Banks17:00 -  "Springtime for America" - Lutnick's Economic Proposal 20:00 - The Interest Payment Crisis Looming26:00 - Federal Government's Undervalued Assets33:00 - Treasury Bonds Coming Due in Next Three Years37:00 - Sovereign Wealth Fund Potential Revenue Sources45:00 -  Closing Thoughts on Statistics and ResponsibilityGot Questions?

Ransomware gangs aren't faceless shadows. Jon DiMaggio knows—he's talked to them. In this episode, A.J. Nash sits down with the Chief Security Strategist at Analyst1 to pull back the curtain on the hidden world of cybercriminals. Jon shares how he builds detailed personas, infiltrates ransomware crews like LockBit, and navigates the psychological toll that comes with living a double life.Jon breaks down the tactics behind covert engagements—how ego, language barriers, and criminal alliances can be used to gain access. He also talks through his storytelling process in The Ransomware Diaries and why long-form, evidence-based intelligence reporting still matters. This isn't just threat research—it's human behavior under a microscope.The conversation also dives into attribution, burnout, and the personal risks Jon has faced. He opens up about being targeted, leaning on mental health support, and using fear as fuel. This is a raw, unfiltered look at cyber threat intelligence from the inside.Send us a textSupport the show

What if ending the Federal Reserve created worse problems than the ones we're trying to solve?In this solo presentation, Hans explores the complex world of central banking, focusing on the Federal Reserve's role in the global economy. He examines monetary policy from their perspective to help listeners understand the actual mechanisms at work beyond the typical criticisms.The presentation takes a deep dive into the US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency, exploring both the benefits and costs of this position that few Americans fully understand. Through an examination of the "Triffin Dilemma," Hans explains the historical tensions between maintaining a gold standard and providing sufficient global liquidity.With careful analysis backed by economic texts, he offers a warning about alternatives to the current system, suggesting that globalist central banking plans might be far more concerning than our existing monetary framework.Central Banking from the Insider Perspective: An approach to monetary policy from the perspective of those who implement it, explaining how the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Congress all play interconnected roles in the expansion of the money supply. Clarification that while the Fed does expand the money supply, the initial demand for money starts with Congressional spending.The US Dollar as World Reserve Currency: A deep dive into what it means for the US to have the world's reserve currency, exploring both the benefits (seigniorage, lower borrowing costs, international prestige) and the costs (vulnerability to global financial shocks, trade imbalances, currency appreciation affecting exports).The Triffin Dilemma Explained: An exploration of economist Robert Triffin's identified conflict: global trade needs an elastic supply of dollar liquidity, but the US gold holdings (under the former gold standard) were essentially fixed. This tension ultimately led to abandoning the gold standard in 1971 and has significant implications for today's monetary system.Be Careful What You Wish For: A warning about the alternatives to the Federal Reserve, suggesting that what globalist central bankers have been trying to implement for decades—a global currency outside national control—would be worse for Americans than the current system.▶️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Background on Central Banking03:00 - Why Few People Understand the Fed's Real Mechanisms06:00 - How Money Creation Works: Congress to Treasury to Fed11:00 - Central Banking Alternatives and Their Risks15:00 - Reserve Currency Status: Definition and History22:00 - Benefits of Being the World's Reserve Currency28:00 - The Costs of Reserve Currency Status32:00 - The Triffin Dilemma: Gold Standard vs. Elastic Currency41:00 - How Central Bankers View Gold as a "Brake on Growth"47:00 - Ending Gold Convertibility in 1971 and Its Effects51:00 - Warning About Globalist Central Banking Alternatives54:00 - Conclusion and Call for FeedbackGot Questions?

If you don't hear it from us, you're not going to just stumble across it - but what exactly is "it" when it comes to the truth about our financial system?In this episode of Remnant Finance, Hans dives into the mechanics of central banking, monetary systems, and the financial "rules of the game" that affect us all daily—yet remain largely hidden from view.This episode offers a thoughtful examination of how our financial system actually works and why understanding it matters for those implementing IBC (Infinite Banking Concept). Rather than simply demonizing central banking and fiat currency, Hans argues for a more nuanced approach: truly understanding the system we're forced to operate within.Exploring everything from the true origins of money to the relationship between Congress, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury, this episode challenges many common assumptions while providing practical insights for navigating our current financial reality. It's a masterclass in "knowing your enemy" for anyone looking to protect their financial future through IBC principles.The Origin and Nature of Money: An exploration of competing theories about where money comes from - the mettallist "barter origin story" versus the chartalist view that money is a creation of the state.Fiat Money Realities: Why fiat currency isn't inherently evil, but rather a medium defined by government decree - one we're forced to interact with whether we like it or not.State Money vs. Bank Money: Understanding the difference between state-created monetary base (legal tender) and the expanded bank money created through fractional reserve banking.The True Role of the Federal Reserve: Challenging common misconceptions about who's really responsible for inflation - is it really Jerome Powell and the Fed, or is Congress the true culprit?Fractional Reserve Banking Explained: A clear breakdown of how banks can turn $100 of deposits into $1000 through the money multiplier effect, and the implications this has for our economy.Practical IBC Application: Why using IBC is about optimizing within a fiat system we can't escape, rather than pretending we can avoid it entirely.▶️ Chapters:00:00 -  Introduction and Reality Check05:00 - The Encyclopedia of Central Banking07:00 - Questioning Our Financial System13:00 - Learning From Central Bankers18:00 - Understanding the Rules of the Game25:00 - What Is Money?

Know Your Enemy (KYE)He emphasized that in spiritual warfare, understanding the enemy's limitations and tendencies is important (2 Corinthians 2:11).Apostle Iren reminded us that we already know who the devil is—a liar, a murderer, and a thief (John 8:44, Revelation 12:9, 1 Samuel 17:34-35).Using the story of David and Goliath, he illustrated a key principle: spiritual warfare is won by spiritual tactics.The reason King Saul allowed a boy (David) to face a giant (Goliath) was because of his resume and not by faith (1 Samuel 16:18; Judges 20:15-16).David vs. Goliath was a fair fight because David knew his enemy. Goliath was big but slow, and David used his sling strategically to win from a distance.What We Should Know About Satan and His Angels:

If there's ever been a Know Your Enemy subject worthy of two episodes, it is Elon Musk—currently the world's richest man, CEO and leader of several pathbreaking companies, ringleader of the Department of Government Efficiency, and (for now) Donald Trump's co-president. In other words, to understand what's happening in the United States during the second Trump administration, it's essential to understand Musk: what shaped him, his enduring preoccupations and personality traits, how he made his vast fortune, and why, in unprecedented ways, he decided to go all in on Trump.In this second of two episodes on Musk, Matt and Sam bring his story up to the present. After offering a few concluding details on Musk's various romantic and familial entanglements, they chart the course of his political derangement, especially focusing on his seeming addiction to Twitter—the social media platform he eventually bought and renamed "X," which also is the name he gave one of his young sons. Musk's purchase of Twitter is treated as a case study in how the billionaire now tends to operate, from his penchant for making wild claims and impulsive decisions, to the way he manages people, tasks, and money. The discussion concludes with a theory of why Trump made such a show of buying a Tesla at the White House, and how to understand what Musk is up to with his erratic, ignorant work at DOGE, with plenty of eyebrow-raising details along the way.As mentioned: Join Matt and Sam and Jamelle Bouie at Dissent magazine's fundraiser on April 8 in New York!Listen again: "Becoming Elon Musk, Part One"Sources:Kate Conger & Ryan Mac, Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter (2024)Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk (2023)Ashlee Vance, Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future (2015)Ella Yurman, "Vivian Jenna Wilson on Being Elon Musk's Estranged Daughter, Protecting Trans Youth and Taking on the Right Online," Mar 20, 2025Kylie Cheung, "World's Richest Man Allegedly Refuses to Pay Appropriate Child Support," Jezebel, Mar 21, 2025Faiz Siddiqui, "Elon Musk is worth $270 billion.

What comes to mind when you think of the devil or Satan? Many people, including Christians, may not fully grasp what the Bible says about Satan. In this message, we will explore the reality of Satan, understand his destructive plans, and learn how to resist him using the spiritual tools God has given us.

In this first episode, they offer a close reading of Musk's childhood in South Africa and the people, and traumas, that shaped him; his discovery of science fiction and teenage fixations on computers, video games, and space exploration; his escape to Canada to attend college and eventual arrival in the United States; and his early years in Silicon Valley and the businesses that first made him very rich. As mentioned: Join Matt and Sam and Jamelle Bouie at Dissent magazine's fundraiser on April 8 in New York!Sources:Kate Conger & Ryan Mac, Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter (2024)Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk (2023)Ashlee Vance, Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future (2015)Joshua Benton, "Musk's Anti-Semitic, Apartheid-Loving Grandfather," The Atlantic, Sept 30, 2023Henry Farrell, "Silicon Valley's Reading List Reveals Its Political Ambitions," Bloomberg, Feb 21, 2025Tony Tulathimutte, Rejection (2024)Kase Wickhman, "Elon Musk Has Yet Another Child, According to the Mother of That Baby," Vanity Fair, Feb 18, 2025Favour Adegoke, "Elon Musk's Trans Daughter Rips Dad For Allegedly Using Sex-Selective IVF For Her: 'I Was Going Against The Product'," Yahoo News, March 11, 2024...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to access to all of our bonus episodes!

Know Your Enemy 1 Peter 5:8-11

On March 8th, federal immigration agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Palestinian student activist at Columbia University, in his New York home and moved him to a detention facility in Louisiana. Khalil, a recent graduate from Columbia's public affairs masters program and a prominent leader in the school's movement to pressure the university to divest from companies complicit in Israel's genocide, is a legal permanent resident, and is not accused of any crime. The Trump administration has pointed to his political activism as the reason for why he should be deported, invoking a rarely-used Cold War-era law to argue that Khalil's presence in the US is contrary to US foreign policy interests. Jewish American organizations are split over the administration's reactions: The Anti-Defamation League has praised it, other mainstream groups have remained silent, and liberal Zionist and anti-Zionist Jewish organizations have sharply condemned it.On this episode of On the Nose, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel, associate editor Mari Cohen, and senior reporter Alex Kane discuss the Jewish political reaction to the arrest and detention of Khalil. They talk about how the mainstream Jewish establishment paved the way for this authoritarian act, whether liberal Jewish opposition to the arrest could portend new political alignments, and the rise of new reactionary Jewish groups such as Betar and Mothers Against College Antisemitism. Note: When this podcast was recorded, the American Jewish Committee had not yet made a statement on Khalil. On March 12th, the AJC released a statement condemning Khalil's political speech but calling for “due process” in deportation proceedings against him.

Here's something a little creepy. In a bonus episode from August 2022, Matt and Sam were discussing Sam's profile of Arizona Senate hopeful and Peter Thiel-protégé Blake Masters when we found ourselves imagining how a future union of MAGA nationalism and Silicon Valley libertarianism might try to run the government. A listener flagged it for us, noting that the description — which we call "exit from within" — sounds remarkably similar to what we are now experiencing with Trump, Musk, DOGE, and the tech right. We had totally forgotten about this, and thought the rest of you might like to hear it. We'll be back to our regular programming, with the Elon Musk episode, next week. The full episode, "Masters of War," is on Patreon. Readings: Sam Adler-Bell, "The Violent Fantasies of Blake Masters," NYTimes, Aug 3, 2022. Albert O.

We're all anxious, and none of us can pay attention. We don't read long books anymore; our kids don't read at all. When we watch TV, we scroll at the same time. And we absolutely cannot be alone with ourselves. These are the symptoms of a modern malaise that is everywhere diagnosed but rarely treated with the dire seriousness it deserves: an epochal sickness that is fundamentally changing the way we relate to each other and to our own minds. What would it take to reclaim control? Chris Hayes — journalist, author, and host of MSNBC's All In — joins to discuss his new book The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource. Together, Chris and the boys theorize how attention replaced information as the defining commodity of modern life. Along the way, we discuss our own struggles with social media addiction, prayer as an ancient technology for organizing attention, the evolutionary origins of attention-seeking, Donald Trump as the "public figure par excellence" of the attention age, and how to fight back against the corporate takeover of our minds. Toward the end, Chris explains how he's navigating hosting his cable show amid another bewildering Trump era, which seems designed to divide and fragment our attention.Further Reading: Chris Hayes, The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource, (2025)Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace, (1952)Adam Phillips, Attention Seeking, (2022)Karl Marx, Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, (1844)Kyle Chayka, FIlterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture, (2024)Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, (2019)Daniel Immerwahr, "What if the Attention Crisis Is All a Distraction?"

An atheist, a radical for capitalism, a caricature of a greedy libertarian, a best-selling novelist, a difficult partner and passionate lover, and the self-proclaimed greatest philosopher since Aristotle: Ayn Rand was many things, and we talk about almost all of them in this epic episode. To do so, we called upon historian Jennifer Burns, whose intellectual biography, Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right , is enormously helpful in trying to understand an idiosyncratic writer who, both then and now, fits ambiguously into the "fusionist" post-war conservative movement. Rand remains a controversial figure whose ideas permeate our culture and continue to inspire some of the most consequential (and least appealing) political figures in the United States. To understand Rand and her influence, we examine her family's experiences during and after the Russian Revolution, her journey to the U.S. and early success in Hollywood, the arduous path she trod to become a writer, Rand's involvement in anti-New Deal politics in the 1930s and 40s, her ideas, philosophy, and scandalous personal life, and much more.Sources:Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead  (1943)— Atlas Shrugged (1957)— We the Living (1936)Jennifer Burns, Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right (2009)— Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative (2023)Whittaker Chambers, "Big Sister Is Watching You," National Review, Dec 28, 1957Murray Rothbard, "The Sociology of the Ayn Rand Cult," (1972)Mary Gaitskill, Two Girls, Fat and Thin (1991)Lisa Duggan, Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed, (2019)— "Ayn Rand and the Cruel Heart of Neoliberalism," Dissent, May 20, 2019.Adam Curtis, All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, (2011)Listen again:"Milton Friedman and the Making of Our Times," Dec 3, 2023...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to listen to all of our premium episodes!

This is a fascinating episode that takes up thinkers that the podcast has covered before—the Koch brothers, Austrian economists like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, and others—but from a different angle: that of the entrepreneurial work ethic. Historian Erik Baker's superb book on the topic, Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America, offers a genuinely absorbing tour of this most American of ideologies, one that has emerged again and again, in various guises and in different circumstances, to reconcile workers to the contradictions of the U.S. economy, especially the shortage of jobs that has come with its many "innovations" and changes. What are the historical and even spiritual sources of the entrepreneurial work ethic, and what ideological needs does it serve for bosses and managers? Why is it so seductive to Americans? How does it relate to deeply American impulses relating to responsibility, guilt, and shame? In what ways did the entrepreneurial work ethic serve U.S. aims during the Cold War? And how has it endured in our age of Silicon Valley tech overlords and Donald Trump, entrepreneur, being re-elected? We take up these questions and many more in this rich conversation.Sources:Erik Baker, Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America (2025)— "Fairytale in the Supermarket," The Baffler, Jan 14, 2025Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936)Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Positive Thinking  (1952)Sarah Jaffe, Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone, (2021)Listen again:"Bomb Power" (w/ Erik Baker), Dec 19, 2023...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to listen to all of our premium episodes!

Back in October, before the 2024 election, we had on our friend—and brilliant screenwriter and playwright—Dorothy Fortenberry to talk about gender and the presidential campaign. Amid all the postmortems and Democratic soul searching, we wanted to have Dorothy back on to revisit some of those questions, starting with the difficulties women face in running as "outsiders" or against "The System"—an especially relevant consideration given the prevailing anti-incumbent, burn-it-down sentiment among voters across Europe and the Americas. Along the way we discuss Sarah Palin, Trump's "bad sex" cabinet and administration, how "having fun" is coded in American culture, and more.Sources:Dorothy Fortenberry, "The J.D.
