Podcasts about Slade

Reason magazine Senior Editor Stephanie Slade joins me to discuss her new book, Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue and the Future of the American Right, and one of the biggest philosophical fights happening inside American conservatism. Slade makes the case for fusionism, the marriage of individual liberty, limited government and free markets with the Judeo-Christian tradition of moral virtue, while examining the rise of postliberalism and a more power-oriented right associated with figures including Donald Trump and JD Vance. We get into whether conservatives can use government power to impose good outcomes without eventually handing those same weapons to their political opponents, what happened to the old coalition of libertarians, social conservatives and fiscal conservatives, and whether liberty and virtue still have a future together on the American Right.SPONSOR:Pre-order your copy of Cancel‑Proof Christianity by Dr. Bobby Lopez today and anchor your faith in a bold new Christian ecosystem that refuses to bow to cancellation, trusts in the sovereignty of truth, and builds a resilient community rooted in the Gospel! https://www.gatekeepersonline.com/product-page/cancel-proof-christianity-by-robert-lopez-phdBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

In this episode we discuss; DC Spotlight September 16, 2026: Absolute Green Arrow's Big Twist, End of Life Gets Wilder & Can Superman Save Everyone? The Comic Source   Jace and Rocky break down all 15 DC releases for the week of September 16, 2026. Deathstroke: The Terminator #7 shifts the spotlight to Adeline Kane, using flashbacks to explore the already-dysfunctional foundation of her relationship with Slade while Doctor Ivo offers her a mysterious new power. A new arc kicks off Batman/Superman: World's Finest #55, pairing Poison Ivy with Ra's al Ghul as they assemble a new group of Four Horsemen while Jace praises the cleaner look of Adrián Gutiérrez's art under Vicente Cifuentes' inks. The Bad Seeds crossover disrupts Selina's ongoing story throughout Catwoman #91, though the continued focus on her relationship with Carmine Falcone gives Jace and Rocky something worthwhile to latch onto. Amanda Waller's increasingly brutal power grab drives Dark Knights of Steel II #3, especially the apparent murder of Lara, which provokes one of the strongest reactions of the entire episode. Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow's Hand expands Cassandra's history with Lady Shiva, David Cain and the surviving League of Assassins while revealing a compassion that separates her sharply from her mother. Yara Flor leads the Titans back to the Esquecida for New Titans #39, where Static's unreliable powers and characterization prompt sharply different reactions from Jace and Rocky. Blüdhaven gets dragged into Bad Seeds during Nightwing #142 through the tragedy of a former Gotham resident, even though Jace would rather Dan Watters' regular storyline had continued uninterrupted. Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh keep the absurdity and emotion working side by side throughout End of Life #8, as Eddie's captivity, Little Cock's torture and one very unexpected return make it one of the week's standouts. Lobo's trip back to Czarnia turns into a trap during Lobo #7, launching "The Last Death of Lobo" while Jorge Corona's darker, more visceral artwork earns especially strong praise from Rocky. Joe Kubert: 100 Years — A Life in Covers becomes a celebration of Kubert's ability to tell a complete story through a single image, even as Jace objects to the omission of his beloved Star Spangled War Stories #138. Verity Pennyworth becomes unexpectedly important to Detective Comics #1113 when she uncovers the lethal flaw in Commissioner Savage's planned herbicide, while the backup introduces the new villain Rhetoric. The return to Wonder War gives Wonder Woman #37 a major Diana-and-Steve reunion and gorgeous Daniel Sampere artwork, though Jace feels the emotional payoff is muted and the issue functions mostly as setup. Superman Unlimited #17 pushes Kingdom of Zod closer to its conclusion as Lana Lang helps purge Superman's kryptonite poisoning and he realizes there may be a way to save everyone else as well. Absolute Green Arrow #5 appears to finally answer the book's central mystery before Pornsak Pichetshote delivers another twist that completely reframes what Jace and Rocky thought they understood. Kate Kane answers Batman's call during Batwoman #7, returning to Gotham to deal with Vandal Savage's forces in a Bad Seeds tie-in that Jace thinks is slightly more interesting than the book's ongoing story, though neither host is especially enthusiastic. Jace and Rocky also cover this week's collected editions before ranking all 15 books and revealing their Books of the Week.   Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource   00:00 Intro / Week Overview 05:06 Deathstroke: The Terminator #7 13:22 Batman/Superman: World's Finest #55 22:09 Catwoman #91 28:48 Dark Knights of Steel II #3 37:58 Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow's Hand 47:13 New Titans #39 55:58 Nightwing #142 1:03:51 End of Life #8 1:13:48 Lobo #7 1:21:34 Joe Kubert: 100 Years — A Life in Covers 1:28:56 Detective Comics #1113 1:38:20 Wonder Woman #37 1:45:00 Superman Unlimited #17 1:52:04 Absolute Green Arrow #5 2:01:09 Batwoman #7 2:07:01 Batman Day / New Releases & Collections 2:11:03 Rankings & Books of the Week

In this episode of the Exponential Australia Church Leaders Podcast, Charlie sits down with Viks McFarlane, who together with her husband Slade has planted and led Triumph Church in Blacktown. Viks shares her journey from growing up as a fifth generation pastor's kid, serving a decade in the Navy, running from a call to ministry, and eventually recognising that God had placed a church planting and pioneering gift on her life.Viks reflects honestly on the call to plant in Blacktown, an area many people might overlook or avoid, and how obedience led her and Slade from the Sunshine Coast back to Western Sydney. What began with no team, no building, and very little certainty became a journey of prayer, youth ministry, pancakes in local schools, and the launch of Triumph Youth, which eventually became the foundation for Triumph Church.This conversation explores the beauty and brutality of church planting. Viks speaks candidly about resilience, loss, facility challenges, small beginnings, and the courage required to keep showing up when the assignment feels costly. She also shares the joy of seeing young people and families transformed, and how one person's yes can impact generations.With a deep heart for Blacktown, cultural communities, and second generation migrant young people, Viks challenges leaders to honour culture while communicating the gospel in ways the next generation can receive. She calls pastors and churches to release young leaders, have courageous conversations, and take brave steps toward planting more churches for the sake of the Kingdom.

Libertarians agree that freedom is worth defending, but not all libertarians believe that liberty needs virtue in order to survive. In this episode, Stephane Slade, senior editor at Reason and author of the new book Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, argues that a free society cannot endure unless its people possess the moral habits that make freedom workable — honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, and respect for the rights of others. Without virtue, citizens eventually demand coercion to protect themselves from one another, and liberty collapses under the weight of fear. The notion that freedom and virtue are not rivals but partners goes by the name of fusionism, and Slade provides a history of this idea, its advocates, and its enemies.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Come meet fellow Christian libertarians, sharpen your thinking, and be part of a growing movement rooted in faith and freedom at the Christians for Liberty Conference.Lunch is included in the price of the ticket.

Welcome back to The Shadowsphere, where Shadow sits down with wrestlers from the Death Match and independent wrestling world to talk about their careers, memorable battles, life outside the ring, and everything in between.This episode features Joe Dred, fresh off one of the biggest accomplishments of his Death Match wrestling career: winning CZW Tournament of Death 23.Dred battled through a brutal two-day tournament in Townsend, Delaware, beginning with a Hasta La Muerte Casket Death Match against Nino Extremo. He returned the following day to defeat SLADE and Tim Strange in a Three-Way Panes of Glass Death Match, earning his spot in the Tournament of Death 23 final.In the final, Dred faced Bear Bronson in an Exploding Time Bomb Countdown To Hell Death Match, ultimately surviving the chaos and claiming the Tournament of Death 23 championship.But Tournament of Death 23 is only the latest chapter in Joe Dred's journey through the world of hardcore and Death Match wrestling.Dred's career dates back to 2018, and over the years he has competed in some of the most notorious Death Match environments in the United States. His résumé includes appearances with CZW, XPW, FIST, and other independent wrestling promotions, sharing the ring with some of the most recognizable names in the hardcore wrestling world.His Tournament of Death history alone includes battles against names such as Big F'N Joe, Mickie Knuckles, Mad Man Pondo, Nick Gage, Akira, Drake Younger, and SHLAK. Dred came remarkably close to winning previous editions of the tournament, reaching the final of Tournament of Death 21 against Mickie Knuckles in 2024 and the final of Tournament of Death 22 against SHLAK in 2025.His career has also included championship success outside of CZW. In 2022, Dred defeated Sage Sin to win the FIST XXX Championship in a Death Match, and he has competed in XPW against some of the biggest names in the hardcore wrestling scene.Now, after years of competing, surviving, and coming up just short, Joe Dred is officially a Tournament of Death winner.

On this week's Tipping Point NM interview Paul sits down with Stephanie Slade. Slade is a journalist and author who works for Reason, a libertarian publication. Slade discusses her new book "Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right" which highlights the need for virtue and liberty.  Stephanie was recently in Albuquerque for a Rio Grande Foundation sponsored event. 

On Episode 285 of the Raised Rowdy Podcast, host Nick Tressler sits down with Texas singer-songwriter Slade Coulter to discuss his latest singles, “Crown Victoria” and “Lucky,” along with the full-length project he has on the way.

The sign-ups have started coming in. Fall sports, piano, dance, school plays – it's a lot. And while we know we want our kids to be involved in things so they can thrive, too often we're left burned out and... not thriving. It's easy to assume the problem is the number of activities, and that the fix is to cut something. And sometimes it is. But a lot of the time, the schedule isn't actually the thing making us feel resentful or burned out or exhausted, and cutting out activites won't necessarily touch what's really going on. This week's guest is Meesha Slade, a mom of three busy kids, and she goes underneath the scheduling question, to the question I think we are actually asking, which is, "How do I do this in a way that doesn't cost me myself?" In this episode, you'll hear:

“We all kinda secretly at some level wanna use power against our enemies.” — Stephanie Slade Earlier this week, Silicon Valley heretic Paulina Borsook railed against libertarianism. Today, the libertarians get their turn. Stephanie Slade is a senior editor at Reason and the author of Fusionism in which she lays out a contemporary path for American conservatism. For Slade, libertarianism is captured by that New York City intersection where Church Street meets Liberty Street. “Fusionism” = Hayek + Aquinas. It marries the classical liberal defense of individual freedom to the Judeo-Christian tradition of moral virtue. And it's a polemic against what she calls “will-to-power” conservatism of America-first statists like JD Vance and Tucker Carlson. These are Slade's enemies. The real threat to the future of American conservatism. Slade might be politically homeless but is hardly a moderate. She is radically committed to limited government, a pro-life Catholic and, in her words, a “free market girl.” Ronald Reagan championed trickle-down economics. Stephanie Slade fuses that with trickle-down morality. Sladeian rather than Borsookian. Five Takeaways •       Church & Liberty Street. Fusionism, defined: the marriage of the classical liberal political tradition — individual rights, limited government, rule of law — with the Judeo-Christian understanding of virtue as the habits that let human beings flourish within an objective moral order, a lineage running from Aristotle through Aquinas. It is not sectarian: the irreligious Hayek counts as a fusionist for his respect for the tradition's inherited wisdom, and virtue is not partisan either — Hayek and Keynes became close friends at wartime Cambridge, and “Keynes could be a virtuous person.” Slade herself is a practicing Catholic in a famously secular, even atheistic movement — a minority within a minority, which is where the whole fusionist project began. As for William Buckley: conservatism's founding father, not libertarianism's — and, against Andrew's Vidal-flavored skepticism, she defends him as a man who evolved, renounced his early racial views, and declared in the eighties that “America needs a black president” — “imperfect and flawed the way we all are.”•       Economic Liberty Is Individual Liberty. Libertarianism spans freedoms coded right (markets, trade) and left (drug legalization, the bedroom) — and Slade's core claim is that the economic ones are not a separate category: the right to make a living, dispose of your property, and trade across borders is individual freedom, full stop. Crony capitalism — government picking winners — gets no defense. On the culture wars, the fusionist rule is coercion-last: preach from pulpits, persuade, change the culture, and reach for law only when someone's basic rights are violated — which is why she finds abortion restrictions consistent with a hands-off philosophy (two lives in the equation, on her view) while rejecting laws against how others live. Against Mill, via the scholar Jacob Levy: hers is pluralist rather than rationalist liberalism — defending the right of internally illiberal associations, the Catholic Church included, to exist free of the state. And popes get free speech too: she has disagreed with them in print.•       Will-to-Power Conservatism. The book's target, named: a rising creed — especially among the young right — that says “politics is war, and the only question is who's gonna acquire and wield state power against their enemies.” Trump practices it without theory (“not a philosopher… he's just doing what he wants to do” — and, to Andrew's wannabe-mafia-leader framing, “all of the above”); JD Vance theorizes it self-consciously; Tucker Carlson preaches it — “we wanna defeat them and destroy them… unperson them.” Her Reason essay “JD Vance and the Politics of Victimhood” tracks the mechanism: the right adopting the left's victimhood politics — “it works for them. We should do it too” — with straight white men recast as the aggrieved class. The siege mentality underneath is real but “blown out of proportion,” and now functions as “a permission slip to do the things that everybody secretly wants to do.” Hence the episode's pull quote — the most honest line of the hour, because it implicates everyone, herself included.•       What Trump Voters Actually Believe. Slade's data point against the populist-economics story: an Ethics and Public Policy Center poll of 2020 Trump voters found them scattered on economics — split even on trade, with a majority calling international trade good for America, against their candidate's signature position — but united at roughly ninety percent on the cultural siege questions: Christianity under attack, media as an arm of the Democratic Party, rising prejudice against white people. Trumpism, on this evidence, is a cultural phenomenon wearing economic clothes. The deeper commitment survives underneath: at the Heritage Foundation, she asked a man celebrating the GOP's working-class turn whether the party should rethink free markets — he was horrified: “Of course not. We're conservatives. That means we believe in freedom.” Recovering that buried instinct is what she cheerfully calls her quixotic hope. DOGE gets no credit toward it: all for shrinking the state, she had “zero faith” in an initiative that started breaking institutions before understanding them.•       Trickle-Down Morality. Where fusionism meets the moment. On abundance: Klein, Thompson, and past guest Marc Dunkelman share her critique of red tape, but the goal inverts — they want efficient government so it can do more (high-speed rail, Medicare for All); she wants government to do less, and would rather the market decide than “some Ezra Klein type podcaster.” The New Deal, she argues, set America back; China's rail proves only what command economies mandate. On AI and data centers: techno-optimist — the backlash is “quite misguided,” built partly on water-use misconceptions — but with a caveat rare in her camp: “you have to build democratic legitimacy for anything you wanna do in a democratic country.” Kids not writing their own papers is a real problem; the answer is evolved norms, not top-down rules. (No, she didn't use AI to write Fusionism: “Not at all.”) For 2028: Cruz and Rubio are closer than Vance; the true fusionists — Ben Sasse, Justin Amash — were driven out. Her bet is on reviving the ideas and letting them trickle down — which handed Andrew his closer: Reagan had trickle-down economics; Slade has trickle-down morality. About the Guest Stephanie Slade is a senior editor at Reason magazine, where she covers the ins and outs of the American conservative movement. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times, America, and U.S. News & World Report. A fusionist libertarian and practicing Catholic, she lives in Washington, DC — the belly of the beast, she concedes, but a journalist has to be where the subject matter is.

A healthy dose of skepticism is always recommended when doing business online, but with today's AI-powered scams becoming increasingly sophisticated, it's getting more difficult to spot them. Authors are frequent targets, especially those new to self-publishing and looking for ways to bring attention to their books. That's exactly what happened to this week's guest, author Slade Myers, when an unsolicited social media connection led him into an elaborate author services scam involving fake identities, questionable marketing services, thousands of dollars in charges, and eventually someone impersonating Fully Booked host Craig Tuch and this very podcast. In an effort to help other authors avoid falling victim to similar schemes, Slade takes us through how it all unfolded, the red flags he shouldn't have ignored, and the bizarre fake podcast interview that finally led to the whole thing coming undone. By using trusted names and images pulled from the web, along with seemingly legitimate services designed to build credibility, online fraudsters are finding increasingly convincing ways to fool authors into handing over their money and getting little, if anything, in return. Slade's experience offers a firsthand look at how these scams can unfold, along with a variety of warning signs to watch for when navigating the complicated world of self-publishing.    Slade Myers  https://www.youtube.com/@authorslade Hidden Gems Need our help publishing or marketing your book?  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/author-services/   All episode details and links:  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/podcast

In which the Curmudgeons tease out our hair, wear tons of makeup and celebrate the most sensual, most decadent brand of rock 'n' roll ever conceived. The glam rock of the early 1970s was an outgrowth of the 1960s psychedelia in which the vibes shifted from a mind trip to a soul trip, one in which androgyny, visceral pleasure and a focus on the cosmos and man's place in the universe thrust front and center. In the early part of the '70s, David Bowie, T. Rex, Slade, Roxy Music, Lou Reed and other artists glammed forth and helped define a truly singular era. In Part 1 of this mini-series, we analyze the elements of this phenomenon and and contemplate this great music.   Enjoy all this great glam rock by accessing our special Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3DVOLhLF2SfiFpaofW9IYc?si=8df98e7630d44a64   Here's a handy navigation companion to this episode:   (00:52 - 02:36) - Arturo Andrade sets the parameters for our discussion of glam rock   (03:17 - 18:30) - The Parallel Universe, featuring reviews of new albums from Modest Mouse and SML   (19:29 - 01:07:48) - Each of us offer five components we feel defined glam rock.

Variety called Trouser Press "one of the greatest music magazines in history" and described Zip It Up! (2024) as "practically a real-time history of some of the best rock music of that era." Zip It Up! Too is packed with more enthusiastic, in-depth coverage of a diverse collection of artists. Vintage interviews with Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, Bill Wyman and members of The Who provide insight into classic rock history, while profiles of the Police, Talking Heads, Duran Duran, the Cars, Devo, the Pretenders and New Order reflect the progress of music in the 1980s. There are features on Nick Drake, Ian Dury, the Modern Lovers, Lene Lovich, ABBA, the Troggs and the German group Can - as well as a previously uncollected Ramones interview by the famed Lester Bangs.Zip It Up! Too includes 21 "autodiscographies," a unique Trouser Press feature in which artists spoke about each of their albums in sequence, sharing detailed behind-the-scenes memories of them. Stars who opened their musical closets to Trouser Press include Genesis, Jethro Tull, Jefferson Airplane, Cheap Trick, Sparks, Iggy, Blondie, Slade and Ian Hunter (Mott the Hoople), all of whom provided fascinating first-person documents of real historical value.Trouser Press began as a mimeographed fanzine in New York in 1974 and grew to a glossy national monthly by the end of its existence in 1984. Although known for its coverage of British bands, the magazine more generally focused on music that was underground, independent or unappreciated. Fans called it "the bible of alternative rock."Trouser Press put its name to five album review guides published in the 1980s and 1990s and continues with a dedicated website at www.trouserpress.com.From Zip It Up! Too: James Osterberg, more notoriously known as Iggy Pop, is an American original: an articulate juvenile delinquent. From the moment he burst on the national scene with the Stooges, there was no doubt that here was the reductio ad absurdum of rock and roll. Over the years, Osterberg has somehow not only survived but grown, dragging Iggy with him. Zombie Birdhouse marks a new direction in his music - one no less compelling than the chaotic self-destruction of old. He has also given us a book of autobiographical reminiscences, I Need More, to further our understanding of his intriguing personality. Here Osterberg examines his recorded legacy and the situations surrounding its creation. "All recordings are painful," he says. "It's like waiting to score." Brace yourself for the raging id of Ig. You know how great the Ramones are. But, sadly, there is a world out there which remains unconvinced. Once or twice a year, I revisit my erstwhile stomping grounds in Detroit, and when I do, I always stay at the home of Rob Tyner of the MC5. A little over a year ago, I happened to notice that his eight-year-old son, Robin, was getting on this Fonzie kick, saying things like "Hey dad, do you think I could ever get just a bunch of guys to hang out with and do stuff?" He didn't know the word "gang" and of course had no idea what they would do if and when they got together to hang out except that it would, of course, be "cool." Rob threatened to buy him a tom-thumb-size black leather jacket. I took more direct action: I went out and bought a copy of Ramones Leave Home, brought it back to the house and said: "Robin, I've got a present for you" - whipping it out of the bag - "punk rock!" (Lester Bangs) "My father's a salesman," Jonathan Richman explains. "That's where 'Roadrunner' came from. He's a traveling salesman. He sells to military installations all over New England. That's how I got that love for 7 Up signs and Norwood and Foxboro and all these different places. I would sit in the car with him, and we would drive all over this area, up and down New England. It was like a whole other world to me." Jonathan is sitting in a Cambridge natural food restaurant at eleven in the morning. He is wearing a T shirt and shorts.

Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of August 19, 2026. Dark Knights of Steel #2 finds Amanda Waller's machinations continuing as an illness threatens Kara and the House of El, while Barbara Gordon serves as a literal Oracle and the developing relationship between Kal-El and Lois adds another layer to Tom Taylor's expanding fantasy world. Lobo #6 sends Lobo to Hell to battle the Tooth Fairy in an intentionally ridiculous detour, but the issue feels disconnected from the characters and plot threads Scotty Young had carried forward from the previous arc, making the story feel unusually disposable. End of Life #7 sees Eddie's attempt to do something genuinely good by rescuing a kidnapped kid land him in the hands of the killers hunting him, and after escaping another brutal beating he discovers Little Cock has finally caught up with him looking for revenge over the death of Big Cock. Beneath all the absurd violence and comedy, Eddie's relationship with his dying father continues to give the series a surprisingly human core. Deathstroke the Terminator #6 escalates Adeline's revenge from murdering Wintergreen to trying to kill Rose, forcing an already battered Slade into a confrontation with his ex-wife. Slade survives, but the real damage is psychological: stripped of his identity as the world's greatest assassin, he is left wondering what remains if he is no longer a "killer for hire" and is simply a killer. Catwoman #90 finally gives Maggie Kyle the chance to confront Black Mask and use a nerve agent against the man who murdered her husband and traumatized her, but what should have been a powerful moment of Maggie reclaiming her agency feels frustratingly abrupt and underdeveloped. The conclusion also leaves the fates of Black Mask and Katarina Belova open while Carmine Falcone remains firmly embedded in Selina's increasingly complicated family story. New Titans #38 brings Static to Titans Mountain while he struggles to control his powers, Yara Flor begins experiencing visions of her Amazonian homeland and Stephanie Brown continues growing into a leadership role. There are plenty of potentially interesting threads, but with so many characters competing for space, the issue feels disjointed and several of the Titans come across as noticeably younger and less experienced than their recent portrayals. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #54 drags Batman, Superman and their fellow heroes into Hell for a baseball game against its denizens in a deliberately absurd one-and-done that recalls DC's old Super-Sports stories. Mark Waid makes the ridiculous premise work, although for an actual baseball story, Jace wanted considerably more baseball. Absolute Flash #18 keeps expanding Wally's world as Absolute Hunter Zolomon, Director Bones and Eleanor Thawne all enter the picture, while Eleanor genuinely believes the Absolute Justice League are the good guys. Ralph Dibny may also have just experienced the event that gives him his powers, setting up a potentially wild confrontation between Wally, Abra Kadabra and Hunter Zolomon. Batwoman #6 flashes back through most of its story to events before the series began, clarifying how Kate and Beth reached the point where their stories diverged, before the final pages return to the present after Kate has rescued her sister. The added context helps explain some of the confusion from the first five issues, although ending with both sisters seeing the same psychiatrist still leaves the series in an unusual place moving forward. Absolute Green Arrow #4 provides more context for Absolute Oliver Queen's values and creates a stark contrast with Hector Hammond's depravity, while a terrifying Absolute Solomon Grundy enters the picture and Dinah Lance appears increasingly close to manifesting powers of her own. The lingering question remains whether the mysterious Green Arrow can actually be Oliver at all when Hammond claims Oliver Queen died and attempts to resurrect him failed. Nightwing #131 has Dick preparing to turn himself in over the catastrophic bridge accident no one believes was caused by a witch, only for another woman to suddenly confess to being the witch herself. That apparent manipulation deepens the supernatural mystery as events from Blüdhaven's past continue reaching into the present and Nightwing remains caught in the middle. Wonder Woman #36 continues Steve Trevor's telling of the story of the woman he loves to his daughter as Stephanie Williams retells Diana's origin with strong Clayton Henry artwork. There is little here that substantially changes the familiar story, but framing it through Steve sharing Diana's history with a daughter who is equal parts Steve and Diana gives the retelling some added emotional resonance. Finally, Superman Unlimited #16 pushes the Kingdom of Zod event forward at full speed as the Superman family rallies against Zod, including the first meeting between Mark Waid's current Superboy and Supergirl. Superman and Zod eventually suit up for a battle that is still raging when the issue ends, making this chapter feel less like a self-contained story and more like one sustained piece of a much larger action sequence.

Fellow Millennial, Stephanie Slade, has been in the trenches of various factions on the dissident Right lo these past several years to share with the uninitiated normies just how unhinged the Right has become in certain quarters.  She joined Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis earlier this year (back in episode 193) to explore this phenomenon.  But since that time she's written a book, Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, which offers the antidote to the rise of rightwing radicalism.  That antidote is fusionism, a largely forgotten idea that once defined American conservatism.   About Stephanie Slade From Reason.com   Stephanie Slade is a senior editor at Reason, the magazine of "free minds and free markets," and the author of Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, forthcoming from University of Notre Dame Press. Her writing has appeared in America magazine, The New York Times, U.S. News and World Report, the Online Library of Liberty, and elsewhere. She covers the intersection of religion and politics.   Slade is best known for her piece "Why I Am a Pro-Life Libertarian," her magazine feature on booze-producing monks, and her defenses of fusionism (which probably isn't what you think!). Don't miss her discussing the differences between comprehensive and political libertarianism on The Reason Interview With Nick Gillespie.   In 2013, Slade was named a finalist for the Bastiat Prize for Journalism. In 2016, she was selected as a Robert Novak Journalism Fellow. She has been a guest on a variety of podcasts, including Jonah Goldberg's The Remnant, Charlie Sykes' The Bulwark Podcast, and The New York Times' Ezra Klein Show. Prior to joining Reason, Slade worked as a speechwriter and pollster. She's a proud graduate of the University of Florida, where she studied economics and political science.

Tora Tora beat Metallica in a poll. That alone should tell you something about how this show works.This 80s Metal episode covers Tora Tora's 1989 debut Surprise Attack, the surprise winner of a four-way Patreon poll against Metallica's Master of Puppets, Slade's Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply, and Motörhead's Iron Fist. The Memphis band's blend of Judas Priest style riffing and Beale Street blues set them apart from the Sunset Strip pack, and the hosts dig into the record's three singles, its reverb-heavy production, a firsthand tour bus story from 1992, and the band's ongoing reissue campaign and 2019 reunion.

Send us Fan Mail I am celebrating Episode 300 with something special — a full drag-a-thon of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Roaring 20th Episode 1 — your jaw will land on the floor. I have some very specific things to say about NeNe Leakes getting a token scene and a show that kept bringing up her and others' most iconic moments while leaving them out — and what I think that tells you about Bravo. Then why Vicki Gunvalson should have kept her mouth completely shut in the very first scene of this show. Teresa Giudice makes up her crime. Then the moment that genuinely shocked Kyle Richards on camera — and Kyle is not easy to shock after 15 seasons — that I think went way too dark for what was supposed to be a 20th anniversary celebration. Then Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge getting fired from future RHUGT episodes — I tell you what really happened behind the scenes that the show does not show you and we discuss who really started all of it that nobody else is pointing at. Where are the lost cities in this celebration — RHOM, RHODubai, RHOL, RHOP, RHODC? Then Lisa Barlow uses the word icky seven times and I have some very specific thoughts about why she of all people should sit this one out. Then I start my Kelly Dodd and Lacey Kogan small claims court deep dive — I read the actual filing, I found Lacey Kogan online and what I found makes me think this is not exactly what Kelly is claiming it is — and I have a theory about why she filed in Orange County instead of Florida.

Norman Slade III just turned his hometown hill into a breakthrough moment, and the story behind that first win is even wilder than the result. From a brutal Verticross crash and a wrist brace to a full-send ride that won by half a second, this Muskegon recap is packed with the kind of details hill climb fans live for. Ryan Wyatt and cowboy break down the rebuilt Muskegon National layout, the scary-looking but faster start, and how a dozer, fresh dirt, and a new rollout changed the whole hill. Norman explains what actually happened in the crash with RJ, why the top run felt different on a nitro bike, and how a quick piece of advice from Corey Smith helped him choose all-or-nothing on the run that put him on top. You'll discover: Why the Muskegon hill was redesigned after riders said last year was too sketchy How the new start added about 120 feet and changed the pace of the race What made the timing lights, the jump, and the optical illusion so controversial How Norman went from motocross kid to first-time pro winner Why propylene is becoming a make-or-break part of racing What it takes to haul bikes, chase points, and keep a season alive on a budget The episode also digs into the bigger picture around the sport right now - from the strength of the Muskegon Motorcycle Club's historic property to the upcoming Kansas, Devils Staircase, and national championship battles. Ryan and cowboy also preview the provisional rider picture, discuss the women's pro class, and honor the legacy and loss of Mitch Hohenhaus with a heartfelt tribute from the hill climb community. Norman's first win is only the beginning, and the confidence, momentum, and support around him make this one of the most encouraging conversations of the season. Essential listening if you love hill climbs, first-time winners, behind-the-scenes race strategy, and the people keeping this sport alive.

The Warriors have strengthened their push for a top two finish with an impressive win over the Panthers. The third-placed Warriors pulled out to a 22-nil lead before their opponents threatened to make a late charge before ultimately going down 28-12 at Mt Smart. Assistant Coach Slade Griffin joined Piney to discuss their performance, praising his side's physicality and the impact of the pre-match haka led by James Fisher-Harris, which helped set the tone for a memorable night.

Are wearable devices like Fitbits, Apple Watches, and fitness trackers really worth it? In this episode of the “NASM CPT Podcast,” host Rick Richey dives deep into the science and practical truth behind modern wearable tech.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Slade Williams, an author working on his memoir Non Prophet. We are doing something a little bit different today, talking about memoir writing but before he has his book published. Let's take a look at what it is like in the trenches while writing a memoir.   Slade Williams is a writer, survivalist of a chaotic childhood, and a self-proclaimed "non-prophet." In his debut memoir, Non Prophet, Slade explores a unique knack for spotting mathematical patterns and connections between his own life and the major milestones of the Bible—specifically Jesus. Fully aware of how ridiculous that sounds, Slade leans heavily on dark humor and sarcasm as a necessary shield against his own delusions of grandeur. He anchors this spiritual odyssey in the gritty, often absurd reality of growing up in an alcoholic, abusive household. The result is a story that is equal parts cosmic and deeply grounded, proving that the best way to handle immense religious weight and childhood trauma is with a healthy dose of wit. Slade lives in Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he continues to look for patterns in the everyday chaos and tries very hard not to accidentally start a cult.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Slade Williams Website: www.sladewilliams.com X: @GSladeWilliams IG: @gsladewilliams   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

In this episode I talk with Stephanie Slade, senior editor at Reason magazine and author of the forthcoming book Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, out September 1, 2026 on University of Notre Dame Press. Slade argues that fusionism is much more than the Cold War coalition between conservatives and libertarians, but is rather a philosophy in which the pursuit of liberty and virtue are bound to one another. Slade explains how a free society is impossible without the cultivation of virtue, and how libertarians and conservatives have often marginalized or even outright rejected the value of virtue in social discourse. Slade explains how fusionism, through the work of F.A. Hayek and Frank Meyer, won out during the Reagan administration but then became a casualty of its own success. She discusses how liberty without virtue leads to cultural degradation and how virtue cannot be properly pursued without liberty, why the right needs to reclaim the mantle of fusionism, and why Christian libertarians should be naturally predisposed to fusionists ideals.  Media Referenced:Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right: https://a.co/d/01kUhQx6Stephanie on X: @sladesrStephanie at Reason: https://reason.com/people/stephanie-slade/Ep. 58 Slade Interview: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-58-political-expression-civil-rights-and-catholic-libertarianism-with-stephanie-slade/ Sign up for LCI's 2026 Conference in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, October 17!

Gary John Bishop is the New York Times bestselling author behind Unfuk Yourself* and Stop Doing That Sht*, with seven books and millions of copies sold, and his new release Now What out this month. In this episode Larry opens the doors to an exclusive Q&A Gary did inside the Dad Edge Business Boardroom Brotherhood, where business owners brought him their real, unfiltered questions. Three men bring their hardest challenges to the table: grief and a 20-year marriage at a crossroads, the daily collapse between what you plan and what you actually do, and the fear of losing a business that follows you home to your kids. If you're a business owner who says one thing and does another, or who's been quietly sacrificing family for a fear you haven't named, this conversation will hit you where you live.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – Larry introduces this exclusive Boardroom Q&A and why he brings in high level guests monthly [3:30] – Gary is introduced as the bestselling author of seven books and a friend since 2018 [5:38] – Slade opens with losing his father, rebuilding a career, and a 20-year marriage at a crossroads [8:20] – Gary challenges the idea that you lose anything when someone dies [8:57] – Your life as a conversational domain and why your father still exists inside it [13:12] – The question that changes a marriage: what are the conversations actually about? [16:02] – Why calling his dad a "degenerate gambler" was costing Slade more than he knew [18:35] – Alan asks how to stay focused when the day falls apart by 10am [20:39] – The real issue is integrity: you say and then you don't do [21:23] – Would you trust a man who never keeps his word? You're doing it to yourself [24:17] – Gary doubles his revenue target for no reason other than he said he would [29:26] – You're not detaching from emotion, you're recognizing you're attached to it [31:14] – Blake on the fear that not answering the phone will cost him his business [33:26] – Every company is organized around the fears of its founder [37:39] – "This is not appropriate to this space" and how to shut work off at home [45:05] – Ciprian asks how to stop building the present on a broken past [49:01] – Nobody cut you off in traffic: how automatic language creates your world [53:04] – Husserl's bracketing: set the story aside and be in wonder of what's there   5 Key Takeaways Your Life Is a Conversational Domain — The people you've lost still exist in the conversations you have and the way you speak about them. Locate them somewhere that nurtures you instead of somewhere labeled loss. Integrity Is Honoring Your Word — Integrity isn't morality, it's treating what you say like it matters. If you routinely say and then don't do, you've trained yourself to be unreliable to yourself. Your Business Runs On Your Fear — Every company is organized around the fears of its founder. If you're taking calls at the dinner table, look at what you're actually committed to versus what you say you're committed to. The Language Is Creating the World — Calling something a struggle instead of a challenge, or your father a degenerate instead of a man who gambled, isn't description. It's construction, and you'll live inside whatever you build. Bracket the Story and Declare Something New — You don't have to fix the past. Set it aside, declare who you are right now, and ask what that person would obviously do next.   Links & Resources Episode shownotes — https://thedadedge.com/1504 Join the Dad Edge Alliance — https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive — https://thedadedge.com/goals   Enjoyed This Episode? If Gary's line about every company being organized around the fears of its founder made you sit up, sit with it a while. Send this to a business owner who's been sacrificing his family for a fear he hasn't named yet, and ask yourself where you say one thing and do another. If the show keeps delivering, follow, rate, and leave a review so more men can find these conversations.

Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of July 15, 2026. Nightwing #140 brings Psycho Pirate into Dan Watters' Blüdhaven mystery by tying the city's violence to Medusa architecture instead of the Medusa Mask. Wonder Woman #35 works as a Wonder War interlude that retells Diana's origin through Steve Trevor explaining Wonder Woman's history to Trinity. End of Life #6 has Eddie Stallion try to leave Pluto before his reunion with Sophie convinces him to stay while the Menagerie's assassins keep closing in. Batwoman #5 has Kate Kane rescue Alice by removing her mask and reaching her sister directly, while Mother Despina warns that winning may still mean losing. Deathstroke: The Terminator #5 reveals the person behind the attacks on Slade and ends with a threat to Rose Wilson that she may not survive. Absolute Flash #17 ends the Gorilla City story in tragic fashion with the young Grodd caught between loyalty to his father and his bond with Wally. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #53 highlights Dick Grayson's skills as he tries to break Batman and Superman free from Tyrannus Rex's control in Skartaris. Dark Knights of Steel 2 #1 expands the medieval DC world beyond the original kingdoms as Kara is welcomed into Amazonia, Batman remains separated from the League, and Amanda Waller's secret villainy continues to hang over the larger story. New Titans #37 hints at Static joining the team while giving Kid Devil more spotlight and continuing Spoiler's rise into a stronger leadership role. Lobo #5 has the network ordered to bring Lobo back, only for the executive to put a contract on him and send Lip Bomb after the Main Man. Catwoman #89 pushes Selina deeper into her Gotham war with Black Mask while bringing her connection to Carmine Falcone closer to outright confirmation. Superman Unlimited #15 builds on the Ultra Boy reveal by showing Jon Kent's faith in him pay off, while Superwoman's arrival keeps the Earth-3 story from ending cleanly. Absolute Green Arrow #3 shifts further into Black Canary's investigation as the issue reveals Miraclo, Rex Tyler and anti-aging experiments tied to the billionaires being targeted. They also give a rundown of this week's collected editions, reprints and facsimile releases. As always, all books are ranked from top to bottom and each host gives a Book of the Week pick.

Ashy and Chris go inside the England camp ahead of the must-win Test against Fiji. After the defeat at Ellis Park, Ashy quizzes skipper Jamie George on the England gameplan against the Boks and why they keep repeating the same mistakes. Centre Henry Slade is also on the pod to discuss his return to the starting XV and England's state of flux in midfield. Can Slade replicate the influence he's had at Exeter for his country? Finn Russell is back for Scotland. Ashy and Chris look ahead to their clash in Pretoria and react to Louis Rees-Zammit dropping to the Wales bench. Why hasn't the Welsh winger managed to replicate the form eh showed before his NFL stint?

AMBER seeks news of BRAY, but the truth threatens to drive a wedge between her and JAY. SLADE struggles to be the Good Samaritan, while RAM's thoughts turn to escape.

In this episode, we speak with the legendary drummer of Slade for over 50 years, Don Powell.  We discuss the band's history and legacy as well as some great stories of parting with Ozzy Osbourne.  We also deep dive into the great music of the Don Powell Band.

On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it's worth asking: What was the American Revolution actually about? We all remember the broad strokes we learned in school: Independence from the British crown. Taxes on tea. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But on a deeper level, the American Revolution was—and is—a revolution in political theory, reimagining what a legitimate government is and what its relationship to its citizens should be. Washington's troops won the ground war 245 years ago at Yorktown, but the ideological battle continues against forces on both the left and the right who are pursuing a ruthless assault on America's core values. The American Revolution isn't over. Inscribed inside the dome of the Jefferson Memorial are the words: "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Thomas Jefferson wrote that in an 1800 letter, but that feeling of hostility toward the tyranny of a distant monarch is what drove him and his fellow revolutionaries in 1776. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch summarized the Declaration's core ideas in an interview with Reason: "The Declaration of Independence had three great ideas in it. That all of us are equal. That each of us has inalienable rights given to us by God, not government. And that we have the right to rule ourselves." That's why Jefferson declared that a legitimate government requires the "consent of the governed." Thomas Paine put it more scathingly in his 1776 pamphlet Common Sense, writing that "government by kings was first introduced into the world by the Heathens." Monarchy was the Devil's most effective and enduring form of "idolatry." We don't fret over tyrannical kings in today's America. Only ceremonial vestiges of hereditary monarchy remain in the modern world. The Revolution achieved a complete victory in that sense. Yet a counterrevolution is underway, one that views the American Revolution and the republic it birthed as a failed liberal regime that has outlived its usefulness. And these counterrevolutionaries sit remarkably close to the levers of power. Self-Rule Under Threat Three years before he became vice president, J.D. Vance told podcaster Jack Murphy that America had reached a point of no return. "We are in the late republican period," he said. "If we're going to push back against it we have to get pretty wild and pretty far out there and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with. Indeed, among some of my circle the phrase 'extra-constitutional' has come up quite a bit." Vance regularly cites and associates with a group of so-called "postliberals." He appeared on a panel with one of this movement's leading intellectuals, Patrick Deneen, a Notre Dame political science professor and the author of Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future, in 2023. Deneen believes there is an unbridgeable divide between the "elite" and "ordinary" people. "What is needed," he writes in the book, "in short, is regime change—the peaceful but vigorous overthrow of a corrupt and corrupting liberal ruling class," which will be replaced by a more virtuous one. He envisions the kind of aristocratic government favored by the ancients like Plato and Aristotle, endorsing "aristopopulism," where an elite class works to further the interests of the masses. "The replacement of the current elites in our society ought to be more closely aligned to the interests of ordinary people," Deneen said at the panel. He invokes a "premodern conception of liberty—expressed in the pages of Plato, Aristotle, the Bible," where institutions like the family, the church, and the state worked together to impose "guardrails" protecting individuals from becoming "slaves" to their own desires. My colleague Stephanie Slade writes about the postliberal right for Reason magazine. "He says people like [himself] should just be in charge of our government. That's what he means by regime change," Slade says. "[That] we should replace the current elites." She notes that postliberals are willing to frame the entire American Founding as a mistake: "They might say, yeah, America did have a liberal founding and that's why it was a mistake. Actually, this whole experiment was a mistake, and it maybe took a couple hundred years for that mistake to play out….We now can see that it doesn't lead to good conservative outcomes." In his book Common Good Constitutionalism, Adrian Vermeule, a postliberal Harvard Law professor and appointee to President Donald Trump's Council of the Administrative Conference of the United States, wrote that "the central aim of the constitutional order is to promote good rule, not to 'protect liberty' as an end in itself." That's a rejection of the spirit of 1776. Paine saw the existence of government as a necessary evil because of "the inability of moral virtue to govern the world." A minimal state, in his view, should be restricted to supplying "freedom and security." As Gorsuch put it in the same Reason interview: "If you think of the Declaration as kind of our mission statement, our ideals, and the Constitution is the how-to manual—well, the Constitution is all about dividing power. Madison realized men are not angels and that their aspirations for power need to be checked and checked and checked again." The "regime change" Deneen and Vermeule call for isn't explicitly violent. Deneen describes "Machiavellian means to achieve Aristotelian ends." The strategy manifests as a steady expansion of presidential authority, as we've seen under Donald Trump's second term: the 143 executive orders he signed in just his first 100 days, more than any other president in history; his decision to send troops to American cities without permission from local authorities; his declaring of 21 national emergencies while in office; and his decision to send illegal immigrants to overseas prisons in defiance of the judicial branch. Incidentally, one of the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence was King George III's penchant for shipping the accused "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses." Before he became vice president, Vance encouraged Trump to emulate Andrew Jackson and dare the Supreme Court to try enforcing its rulings against him. "If I was giving him one piece of advice," Vance said, "fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people, and when the courts—because you will get taken to court—and when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say, 'The chief justice has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.'" "That's a really dangerous idea to be even casually trotting out there, let alone for somebody who is now the sitting vice president to be on the record," Slade says. "He said it a number of years ago when he was just a candidate for office, but I've never seen anything from him since he's been in office that makes me think that he doesn't ultimately believe in that sort of approach to politics." Some postliberals call for measures far more dramatic than the steady erosion of constitutional restraints currently underway. Michael Anton, who worked in Trump's State Department over two terms, wrote in his book The Stakes about the prospect of a "Red Caesar"—a right-wing dictator who would rise from the ashes of the fallen republic. "Caesar's word replaces constitutionalism and even, in the final analysis, law," he wrote. In a podcast conversation with pro-monarchist blogger Curtis Yarvin, Anton discussed what that might look like. "Caesarism is a form of monarchy, but that follows a nonfunctioning republic, a republic that doesn't work anymore," Anton said. Yarvin proposed that the path to power would begin with declaring a state of emergency in an inaugural address, "taking direct control over all law enforcement authorities….Basically like Caesar, you're using all of the force available to you."  "There is just clearly much more of a sense that government power is meant to be used to advance our side in the face of our enemies," Slade says. "And the enemies are the left, the political left, and anyone on the right who isn't going to line up with [them]. [They believe] political power should be used to reward our friends and punish our enemies, and that to me is a clear violation of one of the core principles of rule of law, which is equal treatment for everyone under law." In the COVID era, President Joe Biden imposed national mandates by executive fiat, and his administration tried to suppress dissent by pressuring tech companies to censor critics. The Democratic Party has also flirted with the idea of packing the Supreme Court to get its way, which is not a new impulse for the party. When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the Court in 1937, it cost him the support of progressives who had previously backed the New Deal. FDR is revered by progressives and cited by Yarvin as a prototype for an American Caesar. "Was FDR a dictator? What does it mean to be a dictator? What does this pejorative word mean?" Yarvin asks. "A dictator is somebody who rules alone. And that, I think, is a beautiful thing." The Revolution was, first and foremost, about self-rule: We would no longer abide by a diktat from an overseas king. From the very beginning of the republic, power-seeking men have tried to undermine that vision. In its earliest days, there was a plot to install a Prussian prince as king of a new American monarchy. Jefferson accused John Adams and Alexander Hamilton of being monarchists, recounting in horror a dinner conversation in which Hamilton told him "the greatest man…that ever lived was Julius Caesar." But monarchy is seductive because strongmen promise order in chaotic times. In the wake of Shays' Rebellion, a post-Revolution farmer's uprising, Jefferson worried the Constitution's drafters were overreacting by creating a powerful presidency that would devolve into a monarchy. "What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" he wrote. And then, famously: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Hopefully, patriots won't be shedding blood anytime soon. But Jefferson's point stands: Preserving the promises of the Revolution will always be an ongoing battle. Self-rule was one of those promises. Another was self-ownership, which includes the right to do what you want with your own property. The Rise of 'Right-Wing Progressivism' The Declaration accused the king of "cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world." The American colonies experienced unprecedented economic growth, a topic of keen interest to the laissez faire economist Adam Smith, whose book The Wealth of Nations also turns 250 this year. Smith was fascinated by the American colonies, observing that their "progress has been more rapid than that of the English in North America. Plenty of good land, and liberty to manage their own affairs their own way, seem to be the two great causes of the prosperity." Other imperial powers, such as the Spanish and Portuguese, mandated that their colonists trade only through state-created monopolies. Smith pointed out that because American colonists could export lumber to the wider European market, they were incentivized to clear and improve land. Low taxes enabled them to reinvest their profits. Smith criticized England's Navigation Acts for prohibiting colonists from buying from other countries and for discouraging manufacturing to protect domestic competitors. Although England's "mercantile spirit" hampered the economy, Smith believed that in virtually every other respect the liberty of the English colonists "to manage their own affairs their own way is complete," concluding that both England and the colonies would be better off with an independent America that traded freely with England. Like the American revolutionaries, Smith described economic freedom as not just smart policy, but as a natural right. "To prohibit a great people…from making all that they can of every part of their own produce," he wrote, "is a manifest violation of the most sacred rights of mankind." That revolutionary understanding is still under attack today from both the left and the right. Socialists like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.) and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani talk about individual profits as if they are the property of the collective. And Trump has the same mercantilist instincts toward trade that Smith argued against 250 years ago. "I love tariffs. Most beautiful word," Trump said in September 2025. "I said my favorite word in the English dictionary is the word tariff."  The postliberal right argues that laissez faire economics has undermined the working class. "Conservatives have outsourced our economic and domestic policy thinking to libertarians," Vance said at a 2019 National Conservatism Conference. "Do we serve pure unfettered commercial freedom, do we serve commerce at the expense of the public good, or do we serve something higher? And are we willing to use political power to actually accomplish those things?" "It is really important to recognize that what the postliberal right is pushing in terms of economics is progressivism," Slade says. "It's not conservatism." Tucker Carlson made the point in 2019 when he praised Elizabeth Warren's "economic patriotism" platform, noting it "sounds like Donald Trump at his best." What the so-called "economic patriots" of the left and right are converging on is a rejection of the spirit of 1776 and an embrace of monarchy. In the 18th century, many colonists could trade only through state-licensed monopolies. Warren has proposed remarrying corporations and the state through "stakeholder capitalism," in which political appointees sit on corporate boards to steer them in the right direction. Trump took a major step toward the corporatist approach in 2025 when directing the federal government to take a 10 percent stake in Intel. Before him, President Barack Obama took stakes in GM and Chrysler as part of a bailout package. "I don't think it's really a sustainable political equilibrium to have two parties that are both economically leftist," Slade says. "The American people are not on board with that. That is the horseshoe in action. And it's part of why I think there is an opportunity for old-school Reagan-style free-market conservatism to make a comeback." The slow abandonment of the revolutionary ideas of self-rule and private property that American patriots fought for in the late 18th century is downstream of a third, fundamental aspect of the American Revolution that is also under attack: freedom of conscience. Remarrying Church and State The postliberal right wants to tear down the wall between church and state. "They want to integrate church and state instead of separating them," Slade says. In some cases, it's Catholic integralists like Harvard's Vermeule, who has described a strategy of turning the government Catholic by "strategically locat[ing]" integralists "within liberal institutions…to undo the liberalism of the state from within." Deneen has suggested passing "blue laws" that would ban pornography, online gambling, and operating businesses on Sundays. A Protestant variety of Christian nationalism is embodied by pastor Doug Wilson—a spiritual mentor to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who invited Wilson to lead a prayer at the Pentagon. In a recent interview, Wilson said the "governing authorities should recognize formally that Jesus rose from the dead" and that "the basis of law would have to be Christian, and I would want it to be Protestant." Most of the revolutionaries were Christian Protestants, but they insisted on separating church and state to avoid the horrific religious wars that had ravaged Europe. "Torrents of blood have been spilt in the old world" to end religious discord by establishing state churches, wrote James Madison in opposition to taxes that would have funded an official church of Virginia. An even deeper problem for these devout believers in divine providence was that marrying religion to the state removed the very freedom to choose faith that God desires. In his opposition to the Virginia law, Jefferson wrote that "Almighty God hath created the mind free" and that "all attempts" to force religious belief "are a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion." Madison argued historically that Christianity reached its "greatest lustre" in the times before it incorporated with the state, and that religious laws would counterproductively discourage nonbelievers from entering a region he hoped would become a beacon of Christianity. "Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man." Slade draws on her own Catholic faith in making the case. "I am a libertarian because I'm a Catholic, because I believe that every person was created in the image of God," she says. "I just think it's morally wrong from a Catholic or Christian perspective to try to use the coercive, violent power of the state to make people live a certain way. Even if the way that these guys would like to make people live—going to church on Sunday, praying, investing in your community and your family, self-sacrifice—all these good Christian values. They're good Christian values, but they can't be coerced or imposed from the top down. It's wrong and morally offensive from a Christian perspective." Slade says she understands the despair postliberals feel about the collapse of faith and virtue in contemporary America and that they have a point about the progressive capture of institutions. "What they're channeling is a really influential belief, which isn't totally wrong, that the left made a very concerted effort to make what is often referred to as a 'long march through the institutions' and to capture so many of our elite institutions—both at the governmental level but also at the cultural level: higher education, Hollywood, the mainstream media." Critics of the progressive agenda—or "wokeness"—often describe it as its own kind of religion. Linguist and social critic John McWhorter has argued that it has "slowly transmogrified into a kind of replacement for Protestant Christianity" among its adherents. Whether religious or not, progressives have imposed their social values on Americans through public school curricula, federal policy, and civil rights law. They have violated the freedom of conscience that Jefferson and Madison wrote about in a way very similar to how mandating religion would. Postliberalism is part of the political backlash. A poll conducted in early 2021 of people who voted for Trump in 2020 didn't find agreement on nationalist economic policies—tariffs, industrial policy, any of that—but found near-universal agreement on a sense of cultural siege. About 90 percent agreed with statements like "the mainstream media has become just an arm of the Democratic Party" or "Christianity is under attack today." "This sense that the culture has been captured by people who are hostile to people like me and who hate me and want to drive me out of the public square has created so much resentment and so much of a backlash that's driving this postliberal right-wing politics," Slade says. "I don't think it's possible to understand what's going on on the right without looking at what's been going on on the left, definitely ramping up during the period referred to as the great awakening." Slade's new book argues that the remedy to this postliberal moment is a rediscovery of "fusionism"—the reintegration of liberty and virtue. "A good society needs to be both free and virtuous. And the Founders certainly believed this," she says. John Adams wrote just 13 days before the signing of the Declaration that "the only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People…they will not obtain a lasting Liberty." "What he's saying is, we can have a limited government in a free society, but if the people aren't naturally virtuous, if they don't trust each other, if they aren't good to each other—that [the Republic] is going to end up succumbing to tyranny and to a strongman government," Slade says. His fellow revolutionary and intellectual adversary Jefferson flipped the equation by writing that liberty "is the great parent…of virtue." Balancing liberty and virtue means reconstructing some of the civic "guardrails" that Deneen laments having lost in modernity—but not handing the power to regulate our conscience to the government. "What we're seeing a lot is people who are focused either on liberty but don't spend a lot of time thinking about how do we cultivate virtue, or who say, forget your liberty, we want virtue at the point of a gun," Slade says. "Government's job is to protect our basic rights and liberties. It should be prioritizing the protection of liberty." "That doesn't mean that virtue isn't important. In fact, it's the highest, most important thing in life—to pursue a virtuous life," Slade continues. "But it's not OK to expect government to do that for us. Government protects our freedom and we use that freedom to pursue virtue." The solution, Slade argues, has to be ground-up. She invokes Alexis de Tocqueville, who observed when he came to America in the 1830s that Americans excel at coming together and creating voluntary community solutions to social problems. "We should have some muscle memory here. We should be able to get back to that idea of thinking of ourselves as being on the front lines of solving problems, building new civil society institutions, nongovernmental institutions that can try to solve the problems we see in our society," Slade says. "Good policy can make this easier. And bad policy can crowd it out and make it a lot harder." The Declaration of Independence is 250 years old, but the Revolution it started is as vital as ever. During the final days of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was famously asked what kind of government they were in the process of designing. "A Republic," he said, "if you can keep it."

This was an impactful conversation, and it was an honor to have Slade on the show. Let's tee off.

In this episode, I chat with former Navy SEAL Slade Cutrer for a candid conversation about military service, trauma, spiritual warfare, and the search for healing.  After spending fifteen years in one of the most demanding military communities in the world, Slade found himself facing challenges that combat training could not prepare him for. We discuss the realities of life in the SEAL Teams, PTSD, hyper-vigilance, sleep paralysis, and why he came to see many of his struggles as spiritual rather than merely psychological.  Slade shares his experiences with New Age practices and psychedelic healing retreats, why he believes they ultimately failed to provide lasting answers, and the profound realization that led him to seek Christ and the Eastern Orthodox Church.  Topics include:  • Growing up and early religious influences • BUD/S training and life in the SEAL Teams • PTSD, hyper-vigilance, and life after combat • Sleep paralysis and spiritual warfare • Psychedelics, New Age healing, and false shortcuts • The challenges of transitioning from warrior to civilian life • Marriage, family, and finding purpose after military service • The role of silence  • Finding peace, order, and healing in the Orthodox Church  Follow Slade: https://www.instagram.com/slayderaider Sign the petition against windmill farms near Holy Trinity Monastery: https://www.change.org/p/wind-turbines-endanger-historic-monastery-hub-of-orthodox-christian-community Come to our 4th annual Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship Conference: https://southernorthodox.org/kentucky-conference/ Sponsor: Podsworth App: https://podsworth.com  Code: BUCK50 for HALF off your first order!
