Many of you know Jeff Deist as the former president of the Mises Institute. Jeff and I discuss the things that have led to the destruction of our culture and civilization. Jeff brings an economic perspective to this discussion. The Federal Reserve has incentivized a high time preference society. A society with a high time preference is a tribal society rather than a civil society. Why did the boomer generation allow this? What effects has this had on millennials and home ownership? Has it allowed the spirit of nihilism to flourish? Can it be fixed through political means? We discuss all of this and more.

C.Jay Engel, host of the Chronicles Magazine Podcast and a traditionalist reformed Catholic, shares his fascinating journey away from libertarianism. He discusses the evolving perspectives on political ideologies, emphasizing the importance of community over individualism. Engel critiques Austrian economics and explores the historical influences on rights discourse. The conversation also highlights the intricate relationship between individual rights and societal responsibilities, questioning modern elite influences on cultural heritage.

The time of Great Lent is upon us. There are many misconceptions as well as questions surrounding it. My guest, Father John Whiteford, is Archpriest at St. Jonah Orthodox Church and the author of Sola Scriptura: In Vanity of Their Minds. He is here to field all of my questions regarding Great Lent and provide thorough and accurate answers. Why do we fast? What do we "give up" during Lent? Should we be adding more things rather than just subtracting things during Lent? What is Holy Week? Why is Lent 40 days? We get into all of this and more. Great Lent is the most important time of the year for Christians. Find out why in this episode of Counterflow.

My guest this week is Jason Mironchuk, the host of the wonderful 2 Bit Podcast. He has been discussing some very intriguing theories on his show recently, and I wanted him to come here and discuss them with me. He postulates that we are no longer living in a civilization. We have returned to the tribal mode that many of us pretend we don't even understand. The spirit of the devouring mother is, in part, what lead us here. This was a function of liberalism, and now we are facing the consequence: the spirit of the vengeful son. What in the heck does all of this mean? What does this look like? What is to come? We get into all of this and more. Find ALL of Jason's great work here:   Visit my website:  Donate to the show here:  Audio Production by Podsworth Media: Leave us a review and rating on iTunes!

My home state of Texas and our governor have been making headlines as we pushback against the Federal Government and their attempts to open our borders to a mass invasion. My guests this week are both well versed in law, constitutional issues, American politics, and history. They are also both Orthodox Christians. In this episode, we detail what exactly is happening in Texas, what this fight represents, broadly speaking, as well as the specifics here in Texas. Is this a step towards Texas secession? What happens if the Federal Government pushes back and things heat up? Is TEXIT a legitimate answer? How weak has the federal regime become? We discuss all of this and more on this episode of Counterflow.

This week, a bright young Gen Z man on the political right joins me. He goes by the name J Burden, and his Substack and YouTube channel are both superb. There's a lot of complaining about younger people by Gen X-ers like myself. This will give you some optimism. Whereas quality seems to have eluded much of the millennial generation, there may be hope for Gen Z. In this discussion, we get into the change in the social and political tide we are witnessing. The regime is starting to crumble beneath the weight of its propaganda, bloat, and very real capability crisis. There's a counter-elite rising up, and we discuss what that looks like. We also get into the parallels with boomers and millennials and contrast those with the Gen X and Gen Z parallels.

This week, Isaac Weishaupt joins us to discuss all things conspiracy, occult, and Orthodoxy. From Isaac's bio: "Hello, my name is Isaac Weishaupt and I'm the founder of IlluminatiWatcher.com. I've been researching my entire life as an ongoing mission to determine if this reality is the truth or a cunning holographic deception. I don't fully subscribe to any conspiracy theories, but I do find some intriguing if they resonate with any logic (also if they don't; who am I kidding, some of them are just clever). I live in America and feel that a lot of people are more concerned with being entertained than being informed or educated. Our media reflects that." Isaac was great to chat with, and I know you'll love this discussion.
