As always, the last week of the month is reserved for High Noon: After Dark with Emily Jashinsky. On the docket this month were some pieces and topics from writers such as Robert Pondiscio in Commentary and Richard Hanania, including the reasons why the current cross-ideological backlash has a long way to go in terms of dislodging or deterring the woke revolution, and what we can expect from the feminization of both the halls of power and the public discourse. Jashinsky and Stepman also discussed the current bleakness of the American school system, which can’t pass on anything of uncritical substance because the society itself finds itself in the grips of a paralysis of meaning.--High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.

This week’s High Noon guest is popular author and commentator Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report. Given his own journey from the left, Stepman asked Rubin about whether the different parts of the non-left — classical liberals, traditionalists, the new right, etc. — could fit together into a cohesive pushback movement. The two also chatted about the ongoing attempts to cancel Joe Rogan, and how the anti-woke can build parallel institutions, as well as the potential dangers to an integrated society of differing citizens if that effort succeeds.--High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.
