Economist and author Bryan Caplan returns to discuss his latest book, You Have No Right to Your Culture. Bryan explains why genuine “cultural preservation” would require totalitarian control over children and future generations, why most cultural change comes from generational shifts rather than immigration, and why appeals to a “right to culture” only seem to appear when immigrants are involved.Doug and Bryan dig into Western civilization's global influence (“Westtoxification”), the rapid cultural transformations in places like the UAE and Japan, and whether Western culture is really “under attack” or simply winning the world by passing the market test. They contrast perceived threats from immigration with the rise of critical theory and “wokeness,” and Bryan lays out his famous “Caplan compromise” on open borders—keyhole solutions like limiting welfare and voting while radically expanding migration.The conversation also covers:What Bryan actually means by “culture” and why you don't have a right to others practicing yoursWhy true cultural preservation implies a deeply totalitarian mindsetWestern civ, liberalism, and how the Enlightenment reshaped bothColonialism, anti‑colonialism, and why peace often matters more than political controlWhy fears of a coordinated partisan “open borders” plot are largely fantasyCohesion, “turning the other cheek,” and how to actually build social peace in a diverse societyBryan's debate strategy as the “passive‑aggressive Jesus”Lightning round: best meal, most overrated destination, surprising cultural practices, and dream dinner guestsAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★

In Episode 99 of Andrew and Jerry Save The World, Andrew Langer and Jerry Rogers break down what they call one of the most politically consequential State of the Union addresses in modern history. From the President's unapologetic defense of border security and deportations to his strategic challenge to Democrats on prioritizing American citizens over illegal aliens, Andrew and Jerry dissect the speech's political theater, policy substance, and midterm implications.The hosts analyze the partisan response—particularly Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's rebuttal—and question whether Democrats are leaning fully into an anti-Trump strategy rather than offering a governing vision. They examine media double standards, the role of misinformation narratives, and what they see as the collapse of traditional journalistic guardrails.The conversation then widens to major policy battles ahead: voter ID and the SAVE Act, immigration enforcement, the filibuster fight, tariff authority, Chevron deference, regulatory reform, and the Supreme Court's impact on executive power. Andrew and Jerry debate where Republicans must stay disciplined—and where they risk undermining their own momentum through policy missteps like price controls or poorly framed legislation.With the 2026 midterms already looming, Episode 99 is both a post–State of the Union autopsy and a strategic roadmap. The message is clear: momentum matters, consistency matters, and if Republicans fail to capitalize on 80–20 issues like voter ID and border enforcement, the political tide could turn quickly.Sharp, spirited, and deeply policy-driven, this episode captures Andrew and Jerry at their most candid—frustrated, focused, and determined to “save the world,” one debate at a time.
Our country may be facing the real possibility of a 10 year upheaval of our entire civilization!
