Show Notes
Nick sits down with Max Bodach, Executive Vice President of the Foundation for American Innovation, for a wide-ranging conversation on what a pro-human approach to AI actually looks like, breaking down why conservatives need to be at the table when these decisions get made.
They cover the full spectrum of AI opinion — from the accelerationists who want to let it rip, to the Doomers who want to shut it all down — and make the case for a sober, conservative middle path. They also dig into the federalism fight over state AI regulation, the backlash against data center build-outs, what AI is actually going to do to your job, and why most people who are skeptical of AI are working off a mental model that is already two years out of date.
This is a great episode for everyone trying to get up to speed on the current interaction between AI and politics.

"What happens when the actual evidence doesn't match up with the developing public narrative?"
This week, the tables turn. Nick sits in the guest chair on The Long March, the new podcast from our friends at New Guard Press, to talk about the thing he's spent a decade obsessing over: who actually runs the government. Why a president gets 4,500 appointees to steer two million employees. Why most members of Congress never read the bills they vote on. And why a car mechanic who's read everything Michael Anton ever wrote might be a better hire than a Yale grad.
The next time you pass a semi on the interstate, you might want to ask yourself who's behind the wheel. Congresswoman Harriet Hageman did, and she uncovered a quiet crisis among America’s truckers.
Andrew Kloster has been inside the conservative legal movement since long before President Trump came down the golden escalator and reoriented movement towards untouchable issues like immigration and tariffs. He’s been in the biggest right-wing think tanks, legal groups, and even the White House itself. And he’s not blackpilling, so why should you be?
Have you ever wondered how the United States Senate actually works — and why it so often doesn’t?
