“We've learned how to tolerate acts of violence, acts of widespread death, disease — that other developed nations simply don't tolerate. And that tolerance manifesting in myriad political failures — all of which go back to our refusal to maturely deal with mortality and issues of grief.” — David Masciotra Earlier this week, we talked to Ece Temelkuran about her book Nation of Strangers, a manifesto about strangers finding one another. But for the cultural critic David Masciotra, strangerdom is the problem rather than the solution. Contemporary America, he argues in his new essay A Country of Strangers, has become a place of death, despair and indifference. Masciotra takes his cue from Albert Camus' 1942 novella The Stranger. Camus' Meursault — the narrator of The Stranger — is a man completely detached from meaning. He attends his own mother's funeral without feeling anything. He murders an Arab man on a beach without motive. He faces his execution with a shrug. Masciotra's argument is that the United States has become Meursault writ large. America's failure is existential rather than political. It is a failure to mourn — a sustained refusal to engage with death, grief, and the weight of history that produces a society of strangers who cannot connect with one another across race, class, or geography. So is Masciotra right? Are we all Meursault now? What can Albert Camus teach us about America? Five Takeaways • Meursault and America: The Same Detachment: Camus' The Stranger is narrated by Meursault — a man who attends his mother's memorial without feeling, murders an Arab man on a beach without motive, and faces execution with indifference. The novel, Camus said, was his attempt to detail “man's confrontation with absurdity in its nakedness.” Masciotra's argument: this is America now. A country that has adopted Meursault's emotional posture toward mass death. Columbine stopped the nation in 1999. Mass shootings now barely register. That is not political failure. It is existential failure. • A Failure to Mourn: Masciotra's central thesis: America's deepest problem is its refusal to mourn. Not guilt — he is careful to distinguish mourning from guilt. You can have a national memory that reckons with both what you celebrate and what you grieve. If the Founding Fathers are worth preserving in active memory, so are the people they enslaved. Never properly dealing with the Civil War allowed the resurgence of white supremacist movements. Never properly mourning mass shootings allows them to accelerate. The failure to grieve is not sentimental. It is political. • Is Meursault Autistic? The Spectrum Reading: Some contemporary critics read Meursault as someone on the autism spectrum — a man whose emotional detachment reflects neurodivergence rather than moral failure. Masciotra is skeptical. His reading: Camus' portrait is one of moral refusal, not neurological condition. The distinction matters for the American parallel: if America's indifference is a structural feature rather than a disease, the remedy is not therapy but political and cultural change. You can't medicate a country into empathy. • The Colonial Murder and the Racial Hierarchy: Meursault murders an Arab man in French Algeria and feels nothing. Some critics fault Camus for not making colonialism more explicit. Masciotra defends Camus: Meursault doesn't care about anything, including his own mother's death. His indifference to his Arab victim's humanity is the point, not an evasion. The parallel to America: the hierarchy of victims, where Black Americans have historically ranked lower in the eyes of law and institution. David Shipler's 1997 book A Country of Strangers documented the same failure of Black and white Americans to actually talk to one another. • You Are the First Close White Friends I've Had: Masciotra's friend Alana — a highly educated, cultured Black woman who lived in Chicago — once told him and his wife: “You are the first close white friends I've had.” They said the same back. This, Masciotra argues, is the country of strangers in daily life. Not the horror stories of overt racism. The quieter failure of self-imposed segregation that persists in a society that preaches diversity but, judging from its own behaviour, doesn't really want it. About the Guest David Masciotra is a cultural critic and the author of six books, including Exurbia Now: The Battleground of American Democracy, I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters, and Mellencamp: American Troubadour. He has written for the Progressive, the New Republic, Liberties, and many other publications about politics, literature, and music. His Substack is Absurdia Now.

My special guest this week is Leighton Grey, an outstanding constitutional lawyer with indigenous background who lives and practices law in Alberta. We discuss land acknowledgments, the recent court decision in BC regarding the Cowichan claim to private property in Richmond and—in general—the slide away from the supremacy of God and the rule of law, both in legislation and legal disputes. We mention one of Mr. Grey's books: Lies, Laws and Liberties, which I heartily recommend. He has another book coming out very soon: Trials, Tribulations and Truth.

This month's salon "Are We Separable From Our Origins?" was inspired by Nicholas Lemann's essay in Liberties "The Irony of Southern Jewish History."
Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC), Ireland's entrepreneurial superhub, has announced that it has invested €50M in growing and enriching Ireland's largest start-up campus since it was founded 25 years ago. This investment has benefited 1,500 start-ups and makes the Guinness Enterprise Centre the largest non-state investor in facilities for early-stage start-ups in Ireland. Guinness Enterprise Centre is a non-profit organisation, founded in 2000 by Diageo, Furthr (formerly Dublin BIC), Dublin City Council, Enterprise Ireland, Local Enterprise Office Dublin City and the Guinness Workers Enterprise Fund. Once a warehouse attached to the famous Guinness brewery in Dublin's Liberties, the Guinness Enterprise Centre now encompasses a five-storey campus, hosting 160 start-ups who benefit from a vibrant ecosystem that provides access to investors, mentors, events and scaling programmes. The organisation reinvests all revenues into this ecosystem and its facility. In doing so, it has supported start-ups like video game development studio, Black Shamrock, which now employs almost 140 on site at Guinness Enterprise Centre. Other success stories include Astatine, which last year signed an €800M partnership with Aviva Investors to develop a renewables platform, and Circle Internet Group, a Goldman Sachs-backed payments technology company. Revenues at the Guinness Enterprise Centre reached almost €2.56M last year. The non-profit expects to exceed €3M in revenues in 2026 and by 2030, it expects to reach annual revenues of €4M. Over the next five years, the Guinness Enterprise Centre expects to reinvest €18M in revenues in its campus. Income is primarily generated through office and co-working space fees, which are kept below market rates to reduce barriers to entry for start-ups. Additional income is generated through conference and event space rentals, further supporting the Guinness Enterprise Centre's mission to support early-stage companies. Niamh Collins, Centre Director, Guinness Enterprise Centre, said: "Since the beginning, every euro we have generated has been reinvested back into our ecosystem. When a company pays rent here, they're not just securing desk space; they're funding the mentor network, the investor connections, and the programmes that will benefit them, along with future generations of entrepreneurs walking through our doors. This has a compounding impact and underlines why our non-profit status is so important to Ireland's start-up ecosystem. By tying our own success to the success of our start-ups, we breed more success." David Varian, Chairperson, Guinness Enterprise Centre, said: "Few European start-up campuses can point to a comparable level of long-term, self-financed reinvestment, and that distinction matters enormously in an era where entrepreneurial infrastructure is increasingly commercialised or state-dependent. What we have built is genuinely rare: a self-sustaining model that has weathered multiple economic cycles – the dot-com crash, the financial crisis, Brexit, a pandemic – while never wavering from our core mission. "Twenty-five years ago, Ireland had little formal start-up infrastructure and entrepreneurs often had to look abroad for resources and credibility. Today, Ireland is exporting start-ups globally, and the Guinness Enterprise Centre has been instrumental in that transformation." See more stories here.

On this day, 26 March 1915, police in Sioux City, Iowa, arrested 14 members of the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World union for holding street meetings in an attempt to drive the union out of town. The IWW had begun a free speech fight to defend its right to organise. Members responded to a call and flocked to the town, holding street meetings to get arrested and flood the jails. When these 14 defendants were arrested, they refused to cooperate in court and jail, and when set to work on a rock pile they went on strike and set fires in their cells, and more militants kept arriving. By late April the police caved and agreed to free speech for the IWW.

2. Copley explores the transition from failing republics toward autocracy, noting that government suppression of liberties provides only temporary stability. He distinguishes between "tribal nationalism," rooted in historical values and land, and "state nationalism," which is transactional and prone to corruption. As republics become congested with factional battles and polarized between globalist and nationalist ideologies, they exhaust their resources through patronage. Copley suggests that societies must restructure to survive this breakdown. The transactional nature of modern republicanism eventually loses its unifying power as the state runs out of benefits to distribute. (2)CHARLES II

Naomi O'Leary and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· After six days of US-Israeli attacks on Iran, the conflict is escalating and has spread to Lebanon which has experienced sustained airstrikes from Israel. Iran has vowed to continue targeting Gulf countries having fired missile and drone attacks into Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The US has entered into a conflict with no clear focus or potential resolution. Trump's demands on social media for an ‘unconditional surrender' from Iran seem like wishful thinking at this point.· Irish consumers are already feeling the consequences of the conflict in the Middle East as the average cost of 500 litres of home heating oil was put at just under €800 on Thursday, an increase of nearly 60 per cent in less than a week. The Government was quick to react, asking the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) to launch an immediate investigation of domestic suppliers here.· And research into last year's presidential election by the Electoral Commission threw up some interesting results, not least that almost half of those who spoiled their vote, more than 12 per cent of the total ballot, did so because they didn't like any of the candidates. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Horse manure sparks tension in the Liberties, mobile phones can be ageing over time, and does an arts degree retain any value these days?Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

On today's podcast I chatted with well known and much loved Pam Kelly, who has been a Head Chef in Cork city for over 20 years. Her early years were spent in a one bed flat in The LIberties in Dublin and then the family moved to the total opposite, a huge house in the country in Ballinasloe. The hospitality industry was in the family blood, so her career choice was no surprise even though at a very early stage Pam had a notion that she might like to become a nun until she discovered other interests including a love for heavy metal! We chatted about her early life, alcoholism in the family, the crazy but wonderful world of food, her favourite places to eat and her next career steps. She has worked as Head Chef in Cork in popular restaurants including Harvey's Bistro, Nash 19, Perry Street, Market Lane and The Farm Gate, and each of them comes with their own stories.

A new county tax proposal is on the table — and it's being sold as a solution. But when you dig into the details, serious questions start to surface.This measure wouldn't just increase taxes. It comes with policy conditions that could restrict how law enforcement operates and limit local control over public safety decisions. So who really gains? And who carries the burden?In this episode, we break down the numbers, the strings attached, and the long-term implications. We examine whether this proposal truly serves residents — or whether it expands government authority without delivering measurable returns.Click the link and press “Comment on Legislation.”https://online.co.pierce.wa.us/cfapps/council/iview/proposal.cfm?proposal_num=O2026-501Local government works best when citizens show up. A few minutes of your time can make a real difference in shaping the outcome.Don't assume someone else will speak up. If you care about the future of Pierce County, now is the time to engage and comment NO against this proposal.

Liberties and freedoms come from God, not from governments. If we want continued freedom in our nation, we must change our hearts to align more fully with God's desires. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual health, discipline, and the changes we must undergo to rid ourselves of corruption and sin. When we recognize sinful behaviors, attitudes, or patterns in our lives that don't reflect God's will for us, we can find freedom through repentance, renouncing, releasing unforgiveness, and resolving to change from the inside out. God is moving in the earth, and He is faithful to transform us when we earnestly seek Him.
In this episode, Pete Wakefield is joined by Las Fallon to explore one of the most extraordinary and misunderstood fires in European fire service history: the Great Dublin Whiskey Fire of 1875. This was not simply a large urban fire. It was an incident where tens of thousands of gallons of high-proof whiskey escaped bonded warehouses, flowed through the streets of Dublin, ignited, and turned parts of the city into rivers of fire. More people died from human behaviour and misunderstanding of risk than from flames themselves, making this feel less like a Victorian era blaze and more like an early hazardous materials incident played out with nineteenth-century tools, leadership, and limitations.Together, Pete and Las unpack the fire's wider context, from the structure of the Irish fire service and leadership under pressure, to crowd behaviour, media portrayal, and the forgotten victims whose stories faded from public memory. They explore whiskey's central role in Dublin's economy, the cultural stereotypes of the time, and how tribalism, misinformation, and curiosity turned a disaster into a secondary tragedy. This is not a nostalgic retelling. It is a professional case study in leadership, public safety, and human behaviour, with uncomfortable lessons that still resonate in modern firefighting, crisis management, and community response today.Get the book HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE our partners supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingFIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Send us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Happy 2026, patriots this is the make or break year. Either we finally see arrests, fraud exposed, mail-in ballots dismantled, voting machines secured, and power returned to We the People… or America goes down in flames. Elon Musk, is calling out the Democrat voter fraud playbook he knows where the bodies are buried. Joe's latest post fires back: “I feel like Elon is heating up to finish the job of securing the nation.” The left's media cartel is in panic mode, with Denver Post smearing Joe's gubernatorial run and Kyle Clark hiding behind blocks while relentlessly attacking him and Tina Peters.Leighton Grey, KC constitutional powerhouse, King's Counsel, and host of Grey Matter Podcast joins us to break down the war on truth and liberty. From leading national class actions for the unvaccinated and vaccine-injured to authoring Laws, Lies, and Liberties, Leighton reveals how governments codify lies into law, the ongoing assault on Charter rights, and the hope (or lack thereof) for restoring justice through the courts. His insights expose the global pattern of authoritarian overreach and why Canada's fight mirrors America's.Meanwhile, NYC's new Mayor Zohran Mamdani, product of stolen elections was sworn in with foreign music, sparse crowds, and a bold promise of “expansive and audacious” big government. He's surrounded himself with grifters, BLM advocates like Jumaane Williams (who lost his home to foreclosure after $1M debt), and convicted felon Mysonne Linen overseeing public safety. Seattle's new socialist mayor Katie Wilson demands “progressive revenue” (more taxes), while San Francisco floats reparations. Democrats are pushing a vendetta, not solutions and Republicans aren't serious enough to stop them. This is the blueprint. Wake up, fight back, or lose it all.

Dublin, like so many other parts of the country, is of course well known for its characters such as Johnny 40 coats, Dancing Mary, and Hairy Lemon to name a few. Noel Fleming, who has been working in The Liberties since he was thirteen, shares his reflections on one such character, Paddy Alright.
Amid fears the Liberties is losing its cultural identity, Sinn Féin Councillor for Southwest Inner City, Ciarán Ó Meachair has urged Dublin City Council to seek a “UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage” status for the area. Ciarán spoke to Shane to discuss further.

Once the heart of Dublin's trading scene, the Iveagh Markets in the Liberties has been closed for nearly three decades. Newstalk reporter Ellen Kenny spoke to former traders about their own history with the Iveagh Markets, and what they want to see in the future…
The federal government's Bill C-9 would amend the Criminal Code to address hate propaganda, hate crime and access to religious or cultural places. But a human rights coalition says it threatens the Charter rights and civil liberties of all people in Canada, including those communities that the government wishes to protect. We speak with Tim McSorley of the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group.
As Ned Said, the Liberties is really the heart of Dublin, but what is it like doing business there in 2025 in the shadow of the famed Guinness factory? Dave McArdle finds out.
One of the most important encyclicals we need to rediscover is Pope Leo XIII's Libertas (1888), on the true nature of human liberty. This encyclical explains what true liberty consists of, followed by a lengthy exposition of the Church's condemnation of liberalism, in the Enlightenment/classical sense rather than today's narrower use of the word. Most people who call themselves conservative now would, in certain ways, fall into the category of liberalism as defined by Leo. Prophetically warning of the evil consequences of political liberalism, Leo also takes aim at various false liberties in which modern people take such pride: freedom of speech, writing, thought, and worship. In each of these instances, liberals fail to recognize that freedom is not the right to do and say what one wants, but to do justice and to speak truth. As starting as Leo's teaching may be to modern Catholics, his fundamental principle is the one that Pope St. John Paul II enunciated when he said that "freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought." Pope Leo XIII: "Man, by a necessity of his nature, is wholly subject to the most faithful and ever-enduring power of God; and that, as a consequence, any liberty, except that which consists in submission to God and in subjection to His will, is unintelligible. To deny the existence of this authority in God, or to refuse to submit to it, means to act, not as a free man, but as one who treasonably abuses his liberty; and in such a disposition of mind the chief and deadly vice of liberalism essentially consists.

Is the convicted sex criminal Roman Polanski worth defending? Particularly in the context of “An Officer and a Spy”, his vaguely autobiographical 2019 movie about the Dreyfus case, the first Polanski film in a decade to be shown in the United States. Writing in Liberties Quarterly, Charles Taylor answers yes, intelligently making the case that we should concentrate on evaluating Polanski's art rather than his crimes. But I wonder about the wisdom of Polanski making a film about, of all things, the Dreyfus Affair - the celebrated 19th century French case of the persecution of an innocent Jewish military officer. Taylor's Liberties piece is entitled “Polanski's Nation of Pain” in reference to the manifold tragedies of the filmmaker's life. But there's also the unimaginable pain Roman Polanski has inflicted on any number of innocent women and girls. No, I don't think I'll be paying to see “An Officer and a Spy”. Not even if it's a good movie. 1. The Separation Dilemma Can we truly separate art from artist? Taylor argues yes - judging work solely on artistic merit regardless of the creator's character. But this becomes harder when the artist may be using their platform to craft narratives about innocence and persecution.2. Subject Matter Matters Polanski's choice to make a film about the Dreyfus Affair - a famous case of false accusation and the persecution of an innocent man - feels particularly tone-deaf given his own history of victimizing others. The "what" an artist chooses to explore can't be divorced from the "who" is exploring it.3. Cultural Gatekeeping vs. Access There's tension between those who believe controversial artists' work should still be available to audiences (let people decide for themselves) and those who argue that some crimes should disqualify someone from cultural participation and profit.4. The Victim's Paradox Even Samantha Geimer, Polanski's victim, has spoken against his continued prosecution - yet this doesn't resolve the broader question of accountability. Individual forgiveness doesn't necessarily translate to cultural rehabilitation.5. Economic Ethics Beyond just artistic judgment lies the question of financial support. You can acknowledge artistic skill while refusing to economically reward it - choosing not to pay for tickets becomes a form of moral statement separate from aesthetic evaluation.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In 1875, a warehouse in Dublin's Liberties district exploded into flames, igniting more than 5,000 barrels of whiskey and unleashing a river of fire through the streets. But the fire itself didn't kill anyone. The whiskey did.This episode dives into the wild true story of the Dublin Whiskey Fire, where:

The legal implications of Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's reaction to the federalized National Guard troops in her city.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Supreme Court addressed a case involving President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. These national injunctions represent an unconstitutional overreach by federal district courts, lacking a historical or constitutional basis, and justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are promoting a "deconstitutionalization" of government by justifying such injunctions as a means to force quick Supreme Court review. The judiciary's actions, particularly from activist judges, are a dangerous expansion of power that undermines the Constitution and executive authority, especially in critical areas like national security. The 14th Amendment was solely intended to grant citizenship to children of former slaves, not to children of foreigners, and that the current practice of birthright citizenship is a constitutional fiction unsupported by historical evidence. This case is fundamentally about power—specifically, who has the authority to make critical decisions. Activist federal district judges, backed by justices like Jackson and Amy Coney Barrett, are wielding negative power to overturn the last election and undermine the Constitution by endorsing these injunctions. Prediction: the Court, lacking courage, will likely uphold the status quo, citing long-standing executive branch practice and the potential burden on future children born in the U.S., thus perpetuating a misinterpretation of the Constitution that threatens American liberty. Later, Iran refuses to halt its centrifuge operations, which, if not destroyed, preserves its nuclear bomb program. Iran must never get a nuclear weapon. Over 200 Republicans agree and have called on President Trump to dismantle Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/26/2025): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump held his first White House meeting with all appointed cabinet officials. During the meeting, Elon Musk—the head of the Department of Government Efficiency—stated “this is an incredible group of people. I don't think such a talented team has ever been assembled,” calling it “the best cabinet ever.” 3:15pm- While appearing on Fox News, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she would remove intelligence officials who engaged in vulgar, sexually explicit conversations in government chatrooms. Gabbard explained: “I put out a directive today that they all will be terminated, and their security clearances will be revoked.” 3:20pm- CNN anchor Jake Tapper announced the release of his latest book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” But Rich notes Tapper is a hypocrite. During an interview with Lara Trump, Tapper vociferously denied Joe Biden was experiencing any sort of cognitive decline and suggested that people were merely picking on the then-president for suffering from a life-long stutter. 3:40pm- Is the blooming onion at Outback Steakhouse the best appetizer? Rich argues it's thanks to the restaurant chain's use of beef tallow instead of seed oils. Interestingly, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has argued seed oils are less healthy than beef tallow. So, are more restaurants going to start using beef tallow again? 4:05pm- Jeffrey Tucker—Founder, Author, and President at Brownstone Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, “America's Future Depends on DOGE: If Trump and Musk don't succeed in showing the bureaucracy who's boss, it's likely no one ever will.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/americas-future-depends-on-doge-efficiency-overhaul-system-b2875bcd. 4:30pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump held his first White House meeting with all appointed cabinet officials. During the meeting, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth notably pledged to hold people accountable for the U.S. military's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed a measles outbreak which has resulted in two deaths—but insisted there is no need for a nationwide panic. 4:40pm- Jeff Bezos announced that The Washington Post opinion page will emphasize “personal liberties” and “free markets” in all of its stories moving forward. Bezos offered the paper's opinion editor David Shipley the opportunity to retain his position—however, Shipley declined. Rich wonders, what is so controversial about promoting individual liberty? 4:45pm- Hollywood executive Kathleen Kennedy will be retiring from her position as president of Lucasfilm. Kennedy is, of course, largely responsible for destroying the Star Wars franchise. But is it too late to be saved? 4:55pm- In a post to social media, progressive California Governor Gavin Newsom announced he's starting a new podcast! 5:05pm According to a new study, President Donald Trump has taken 1,009 questions from the press since being sworn in on January 25th. In Barack Obama's first month in office, he took 161 questions—while Joe Biden took 141 in his first month as president. 5:10pm- President Donald Trump announced the creation of a “Gold Card” which will replace the EB-5 immigration program. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the card will cost $5 million dollars and will encourage non-citizens to bring their successful businesses to the United States. Lutnick noted that if the U.S. sells 200,000 cards, it will amount to $1 trillion which the administration can then use to pay down the national debt. 5:25pm- Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)—the Congressman who has fought for “helium equity,” expressed concern about Guam “capsizing,” and called the Tooth Fairy anti-Christian—is back! P ...

We answer to Him, and our salvation and hope is found IN HIM. It is not found anywhere else, not within us, not in men, churches, or movements. Therefore, none of those have the right to make the salvation rule for your life: only Jesus. Colossians 2 warns against Judaizing teachers, and gnostics, trying to implement sectarian and legalistic rules upon the people, teaching extreme conservatism as some form of holiness. But they had no right. Many decisions are yours to weigh, build a conscience around, and make. But, this freedom must be wielded with care. There are a couple of important laws that should govern you, even when you have the biblical right to do something, even when others cannot tell you not to. What are they? Let's dig in on one, the most vital one, today, and come back next week for the second.
