The J. Burden Show

In this relaxed happy-hour discussion, J. Burden, Ben Kelleran, and John Carter range across Canadian independence and immigration debates, generational politics, aging institutions, and the changing value of university degrees amid AI. We also discuss political strategy, media controversies, international conflicts, drone technology, and how accessible new weapons could reshape warfare and political power.JC: https://substack.com/profile/44654668-john-carter https://x.com/martianwyrdlordKK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybnwmDwsrnghttps://www.kontrariankorner.com/https://x.com/BR_KelleranFox and Sons: use code JBurdenB...

Cody Justice, a publisher, writer, and head of Sacra Press, joins the show to talk through a speech he gave to an assembly of men in western North Carolina. They discuss "blood, soil, and faith": the case that particular local and ethnic identities fit with Christianity, objections drawn from Scripture, critiques of liberalism and "regime Christianity," and whether American identity can stay Christian.CJ: https://x.com/totusjusticehttps://substack.com/@appalachianprimitive/postshttps://www.sacrapress.com/abouthttps://x.com/OldPathsPodFox N’ Sons: use code JBurdenJ: https://findmyfrens.net...

Will Tanner discusses France's riots, arguing Western states have lost the will to enforce order since the 1960s. We compare Detroit, Thatcher's miners, and Bukele's El Salvador; we link disorder to suburban flight, gun culture, and elites' discomfort with violence.WT: https://www.youtube.com/@realTheOldWorldShowhttps://x.com/Will_Tanner_1https://substack.com/@theamericantribuneFox N’ Sons: use code JBurdenJ: https://findmyfrens.net/jburden/Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/j.burdenSubstack: https://substack.com/@jburdenPatreon: https://patreon.com/JburdenGU...

Thomas777 returns to recount the January 6 pipe-bomb investigation, arguing that inconsistencies in the reported devices, surveillance footage, and security response raise questions about the official narrative.

Pollster Mark Mitchell joins the show to explain the volatile political environment ahead of the 2026 midterms, arguing that shifting independents, younger voters, and dissatisfaction with Republican leadership could produce major Democratic gains. They frame the GOP’s central challenge as a split between establishment interests and an economically populist “America First” wing, with foreign policy, donor influence, and voter frustration intensifying the divide.MM: https://www.youtube.com/@honestpollhttps://www.thehonestpoll.com/ https://x.com/honestpollcohttps://x.com/honestpollsterFox and Sons: use code JBurdenJ: https://findmyfrens.net/jburden...

Today's episode criticizes “forever wars” and post‑9/11 U.S. foreign policy.
