“A very dangerous pre-civilizational pathology is tribalism…I hire my first cousin—and not the other person who's better qualified—because he's part of the tribe,” says classicist and historian Victor Davis Hanson. And now, “we've gone back in a retrograde fashion to a pre-civilizational mentality,” Hanson says.
In this episode, we discuss his latest book, “The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America.”

KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's 1984 warning to the West:
"Ideological subversion…or psychological warfare, what it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent, that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow, and it's divided in four basic stages.
The first one being demoralization. It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, expose [them] to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxist-Leninist ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students."

Filmmaker Mikki Willis is the creator of the Plandemic documentary series. In this episode, we dive into KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov’s warnings to the West in 1984, and how he proved shockingly prescient.
“We know how to navigate military war, but when it's a psychological war, when it's invisible, and it's happening in such a way that even really wise, intelligent people can't perceive, that's the stuff that gets to even the most protected,” Mr. Willis says.
We also discuss Mr. Willis’ upcoming release “Plandemic: The Musical.”
“Our creative genius, our music, and everything has been hijacked with these demeaning and demoralizing and divisive messages. And that's our creativity. And we need to reclaim that and bring our truth and the light to shine into these dark moments,” Mr. Willis says.

“What I had been taught online and in high school was that this is actually a legitimate thought to have: Okay, maybe I should have been a gay man, maybe I'm trans.”
As a teenager, Laura Becker lived in an abusive household and suffered from depression, social anxiety, and substance addiction. She became convinced that transitioning would cure her of her trauma.
“It wasn't framed to me as queer theory. When I was in middle school, like 14, it was framed as social justice. ... And I latched on to that immediately,” says Ms. Becker.
By age 19, she had come out as a transgender gay man using they/them pronouns and was prescribed cross-sex hormones after a one-hour consultation with a gender clinician. One year later, she had both of her breasts removed. Today, at 26 years old, she regrets those decisions.
“How do I exist as a female when I've mutilated my body? ... Like, what do I do now, because that didn't work out? I didn't transcend my body. I didn't transcend the trauma,” says Ms. Becker. “I take responsibility for my delusions, but I don't take responsibility for the medical neglect and the medical malpractice that occurred.”
Laura Becker is now an advocate for detransitioners. She considers herself “pro-human” and encourages practicing “radical acceptance” of the “necessary imperfections” that we are all born with.
“If we accept the burden of being alive, we must accept that there are necessary imperfections,” says Ms. Becker.

"What is it about our national psyche, the general population that causes us to gobble up these victimhood narratives?...It goes to the heart of a national identity crisis we’re in where today, everyone in America, black, white, left, center, right—doesn't matter—views themselves as a victim.”
Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy tells me about his new book "Nation of Victims" which describes a cultural malaise that has taken over not just the left, but also the right, he argues. What is the way out? How do we move from victimhood to the pursuit of excellence?
