## Resource

James Lindsay sparks controversy by calling Timcast "Marxist" on X, setting off a wave of debate. The episode also explores the ongoing fight over the filibuster, key moments from the Jewish Republican conference, and the dominance of Warhawk rhetoric within conservative circles. Discussion turns to Tucker Carlson's decision to platform Nick Fuentes and the backlash that followed. In the audience Q&A, the hosts weigh in on free speech absolutism, moral contradictions, and the enduring truth that if you give them the power to feed you, you give them the power to starve you.
