Republicans lost about 20% of their House seats this cycle. The libertarian faction lost 100%: they went from one seat to zero. Libertarians have nobody left in Congress except Rand Paul. They need to figure out how to be a constructive minority partner in the Republican coalition. Massie's failed Hegseth impeachment stunt is a great example of what NOT to do. From my interview yesterday morning with 🥷🦅Austin Wade Petersen 🇺🇲🥋:

Thomas Massie forced a vote on eight articles of impeachment against Secretary Hegseth. Dr. Brian Cox (Dr. Brian L. Cox) went through all of them and argues the legal case is even worse than he expected. We walked through the War Powers Resolution, the Minab school strike, the cartel boat strikes, the Mark Kelly video, and the Maduro raid. 0:00 Cold open 0:57 Introducing Brian Cox 1:53 Initial reactions to Massie's articles 3:11 Why the War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional 6:41 Article I: introducing forces into hostilities 9:06 Article II: the concurrent resolution and Chadha 12:29 Article III: the 60-day clock and "consistent with" 15:58 Article IV: the Minab school strike 26:35 Article V: the boat strikes and the armed-conflict determination 30:38 Article VI: Mark Kelly and the "refuse illegal orders" video 38:23 Article VII: the Maduro raid 42:50 Article VIII: the Yemen campaign 43:23 A strong executive and the Articles of Confederation 44:44 What happens if this becomes the impeachment standard

The midterm results told Republicans something we can't ignore: the Iran war is catastrophically unpopular. Political will is a resource in foreign policy as much as any munition. If you don't have the political will for your plan, your plan won't work. The people have spoken. They want the war over, and we need to end it. Thanks Andrew Kolvet and Blake Neff for having me on.

A federal judge authorized a search warrant for the home of Ilhan Nur Said Elmi (aka Ilhan Omar). Thom Tillis hasn't looked at the details, but he "found it very concerning" and warns DOJ could be "held accountable." Nothing about holding Elmi accountable, of course.

Social media has exploded in rage at a group of seven college students who have been accused of gang raping another student back in 2024 at Cornell University. The purported victim, identified only as Jane Doe, has filed a civil lawsuit against both these students and the university. Unfortunately for Jane Doe, she gave a sworn statement to police back in 2024 that details a lengthy saga of depraved, degenerate sexual behavior and drug use, but suggests that all the appalling sexual conduct was consensual and therefore not criminal. The line prosecutor declined to prosecute the young men based on that statement, but social media outrage has led to the reopening of the case, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul replacing the line prosecutor with Letitia James, the current attorney general of New York. My guest on this episode of Counterweight is Heather Mac Donald (Heather Mac Donald) , the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. A contributing editor of City Journal, and the New York Times bestselling author of The War on Cops. She has been writing about campus rape hoaxes and about the bizarre sexual culture on college campuses for decades. She walks through what Jane Doe is accusing these young men of, why the accusation does not hold, and why they are innocent. We also talk about what conservatives can do about the Bacchanal on campus and how to push these schools back towards actually educating their students.

Was Jeffrey Epstein a Mossad agent? David Reaboi (David Reaboi) traced the claim back to its source, and it leads to one discredited former Israeli intelligence official, Ari Ben Menashe. On the latest episode of Counterweight, we cover how the lie was seeded, laundered through bestselling books and amplified by major podcasters, plus Alexander Dugin's untranslated book on antisemitic conspiracy theories as a weapon against America. 0:00 Dugin on antisemitic conspiracy theories 1:12 Introduction 2:07 The lie at the heart of the book 5:00 Seeding, laundering and amplification 5:49 Who is Ari Ben Menashe? 6:15 Robert Maxwell and the October Surprise 12:11 A record of fabrication 16:53 How an obscure podcast claim became conventional wisdom 19:39 Dylan Howard, Whitney Webb and source laundering 22:05 Why won't Candace Owens or Megyn Kelly interview Ben Menashe? 23:36 Why the Mossad theory makes no sense 26:38 What would an Epstein operation even cost? 30:23 Dugin's book on conspiracy theories as a weapon 37:31 How is this different from RussiaGate? 42:19 Why the story exploded after the 12-day war 46:51 Getting off the social media timeline

They starved a tiger for two weeks, told it everything in the cage was food, then opened the door. Now we’re supposed to panic about a universal tiger crisis. That is Curtis Yarvin's read of the Hugging Face and Irregular "rogue agent" incidents: negligence spun as proof the machines are coming for us. On Counterweight, he walks through the AI doomer thesis, why it's wrong, why smarter models get more controllable, not less, and the sociology of the effective altruist scene, among other topics. 0:00 Cold open 2:12 What is the AI doomer thesis? 3:19 Why AI systems don’t have intentions of their own 9:32 The Hugging Face incident and the sandbox failure 13:19 The real policy challenge: cyber defense 17:10 Biodefense and the limits of intelligence 21:13 Why more capable models can be more controllable 29:35 The politics and incentives behind AI doomerism 36:36 Rationalism, status, and self-perception 40:39 Security hardening versus restricting AI access 45:40 Politics, power, and institutional competence 53:31 Silicon Valley’s blind spots about Washington 58:43 Concerns about centralized control of AI

The "burn down the GOP so we get a based guy in 2032" plan is dumb. Democrats won't give us the chance. Also, if we lose Tuesday, the blame will fall on candidates like Paxton, and Cornyn and Tillis will get to say "I told you so." William Wolfe 🇺🇸 and I on Counterweight:

Derek Chauvin is affirmatively innocent. He did not cause George Floyd's death. TJ Harker, former New Jersey DAG and federal prosecutor, and author of the upcoming AMERICAN SCAPEGOAT, has done a deep dive on the Chauvin proceedings. The State ruled out an air choke the day after Floyd died. It rode a blood-choke theory into trial. Then its own witnesses said you cannot kill a man by compressing one carotid artery. Mid-trial they abandoned it and pivoted to an asphyxia theory that their own medical examiner would not endorse. Indeed, he was bullied into adding "neck compression" to his statement of what caused George Floyd's death; it wasn't there at first. And that's only the beginning of the problems with the Chauvin trial. Harker's book, American Scapegoat, will be published October 27 by Passage Press. 0:00 Teaser 8:51 The key revelation: prosecutors changed their theory of how George Floyd died 14:37 How the blood choke theory collapsed 24:04 Dr. Martin Tobin and his fanciful "positional asphyxia" theory 33:22 How and why "neck compression" was added to the autopsy report 45:05 How George Floyd actually died 53:10 What now for Derek Chauvin?
