The stock market is in turmoil . . . and Reddit is to blame. A group of alternative investors, in effect, sold the short-sellers short and took down a multi-billion dollar hedge fund. Day-trading bros are high-fiving . . . the Wall Street billionairs are crying . . . and the normies are scrambling to get in on the next 10X rally of a failing company or new crypto currency.But what does it all mean? Does the current volatility and casino-like nature of the stock market foretell dark days ahead? More broadly, is the whole American empire and its planetary financial domination, another Gamstop, a pump-and-dump scheme writ large?

It’s Monday, January 25, 2021, and welcome back to The Spencer Report ... The progress bus doesn’t have any breaks. Joining me today is Edward Dutton. On January 20, “history” was made. I’m, of course, referring to President Joe Biden’s appointed Rachel Levine as his Assistant Health Secretary—the first trasngereded cabinet member to be confirmed by the Senate . . . or at least the first one we know of. The appointment was celebrated by the media as the next stage of progress. But few—maybe none—were willing to critically and scientifically examine the origins and nature of transsexuality. Where does it come from? What does it mean? Are transexuals, as it were, male brains or “souls” in female bodies—or something else entirely? It’s past time that we investigate this major trend.

It’s January 21, 2021, and welcome back to The Spencer Report. For more than two decades, we operated an unethical Medicare scheme in South Florida. Main topic: The Biden Restoration Donald Trump went out with both a whimper and a bang. And after January 6th, the Trump brand is at the level of dog food. His once loyal allies are scattering and giving him the cold shoulder. Joe Biden, on the other hand, is at an all time high . . . for the time being. What does his myriad of actions in his first day in office say about his attempts to restore the boring Obama years—or even more boring, the 1990s. And might Sleepy Joe’s failures open up space for a populist revival?

It’s January 19, 2021, and welcome back to The Spencer Report. We’ve successfully lobbied for a presidential pardon. This week I’m joined by Edward Dutton. Main topic: QAnon and the End of the American Century The storm came. That’s for sure. But it wasn’t the Storm QAnon had in mind. Trump ended his presidency—not by arresting pedophiles in the Deep State and releasing the children from underground dungeons—but in utter disgrace. His enthusiastically deluded voters ransacked the Capitol and attempted the most buffoonish coup d’état in recorded history. But what does this all mean? Should we chalk up “Q” to mere delusion? Or might it represent the beginnings of a new religion. Moreover, is Trump’s fall from grace merely a colorful moment in American history? Or might it spell the downfall of a once dominate empire?

It’s January 10, 2021, and welcome back to The Spencer Report. Baked Alaska once called us the N-word. Main topic: MAGA “Joker” Moment Friend of the show Brad Griffin joins me to discuss the ongoing fallout from the January 6th Goofball Insurrection. The main revelers have already been arrested, but Brad and I warn that major indictments are on their way—of the individuals and organizations which organized the whole embarrassing, though lucrative, affair. MAGA diehards are claiming this is their “Joker” moment. They should remember how that film ends.

It’s January 6, 2021, and welcome back to The Spencer Report. The name has slightly changed; the commentary is still cringe. Main topic: The 18th Bro-maire If Donald Trump’s failures in office were once tragic. It’s all now become a farce. Both genres were on display today in the nation’s capital, as Trump’s most hardcore fans were whipped up into a frenzy and stormed the Capitol building. Maybe they were doing it for the fun; maybe they actually wanted to stop the election certification; or maybe they were just drunk. It doesn’t matter. They were engaged in an armed insurrection. And it would seem better to have actually attempted a coup d’état then to have embarrassed everyone with this half-ass bullshit. Mark Brahmin joins me to discuss the coming fallout.

Brad Griffin joins Richard Spencer to discuss the battle over the $2,000 "stimulus" package, the future of Trump in the GOP, and why we must always Trust The Plan, even if we have no idea what it is.

Mark Brahmin and Richard Spencer discuss the the intellectual background of REM theory, Apolloism, and their interpretive methodology.

It’s Friday, December 14, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group ... an unrehearsed, hastily assembled program about meta-politics. Joining me is Brad Griffin—a man so Southern, his diet is composed solely of fried ochre and pecan pie. Main topic: Libtards Victorious The Kracken has been released . . . but instead of resembling a mythological beast from the age of titans, it amounted to a series of frivolous lawsuits, based on absurd argumentation and easily refutable statistical analysis, all but one of which were swiftly tossed out of Court. The final blow came on Friday, when the Supreme Court heard a case by the Texas Attorney General, and gave it short shrift. Will this, finally, be the end of Trump? And what will happen to the millions of Trumptards, who still believe their hero won?

It’s Friday, December 11, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group ... an unrehearsed, hastily assembled program about meta-politics. Joining me is Edward Dutton: his ascots have medical-grade PPE ratings. Main topic: Seven Years of College . . . Down the DrainForgiving a trillion dollars in student loans is now on the table. The Democrats are already winning over the debt-ridden, over-educated Millennial baristas, and now are ready to to seal the deal. And while we’re not against giving these kiddos a break, the fact is, American higher education is so horribly screwed up that debt forgiveness amounts to a band-aide on cancer. Ed and I uncover the real problem—the concept of higher ed as a “gateway to the middle class.” And we offer real solutions: the dramatic shrinking of the Ivory Tower and a new paternalism towards the left half of the Bell Curve.

It’s Tuesday, December 4, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group ... an unrehearsed, hastily assembled program about meta-politics. Joining me is the legendary JF—Jean-François Gariépy: un homme qui croit que manger du fromage brie fondu est merveilleux! Main topic: Fahrenheit 230Social-media deplatforming is an existential crisis for our time. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have become, in effect, the mainstream media, replacing the big networks of yesteryear. As they’ve risen to prominence, they seem less like free-speech bastions and more like institutions with an agenda: to promote their preferred messages and advertiser-friendly content. Donald Trump thinks we can crack this nut by removing Big Tech’s immunity to lawsuits through §230 of the Communications Decency Act. JF and I debate the future of the Internet.

Brad Griffin joins Richard Spencer to discuss the election of 2020, Trumpism without Trump, and the long trajectory of "right-wing populism."

Mark Brahmin, Tyler Hamilton, and Richard Spencer discuss the conservatives' fantasy of a "rigged" election.

It’s Tuesday, November 17, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group ... an unrehearsed, hastily assembled program about meta-politics. Joining me as usual is Edward Dutton: he is a golfer, and he’s also a conservative. Main topic: The Big RigJoseph Robinette Biden Jr.—yes, that is actually his name—has won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. But Republicans aren’t having any of it. And that holds two-fold for Donald Trump’s most avid fans. Massive voter fraud . . . counting machine with Communist parts . . . late-night ballot dumping . . . You’ve heard it all. The Trump team’s lawsuits are getting tossed out of Court, but the diehards keep on believin’. Ed and I take a step back. Beyond the allegations, is something deeper taking place? Is this what “civil war” actually looks like in the 21st century: less organized violence but the same level of mutual loathing, mistrust, and dehumanization.

Edward Dutton and Richard Spencer discuss IQ, intelligence, *g*, and the people who deny it.

It’s Wednesday, November 11, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group—an unrehearsed, hastily assembled discussion about meta-politics. Joining me is Edward Dutton. Main topic: Somehow Everyone LostThis past week’s presidential election went exactly as expected. . . it was a complete shit show. Liberals went to bed on Tuesday, crying and screaming, thinking that Trump had somehow won again, and their country, was, indeed, racist. But as mail-in ballots arrived, their gloating began. Conservatives, on the other hand, declared victory early, and danced on the graves of pollsters. But as the final tallies materialized, they were the ones whining and denying reality like a bunch of blue-haired SJWs. Put simply, Americans hate each other, and it’s impossible to imagine any election not being heinous as this one. Ed and I discuss the real problems with mail-in ballots, and Donald Trump’s electoral woes with the people that got him elected in the first place.

The Democrats will soon achieve political hegemony in an age of radical polarization. It probably won't end well.

It’s Thursday, October 29, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group. I’m joined today by Bradley Griffin, a man so Southern that his ancestors seceded … from the Confederacy. Main Topic: 2020 Aftermath The horses are rounding the turn and headed to the final stretch. In days, Americans will be presented with a stark choice between an old, out-of-touch, racist White guy … and Donald Trump. Brad and I delve into the gory details of the latest scandals. But we also take a step back and ask some big questions. Did Trump stumble upon an electoral strategy—“right-wing populism”—which gave him a miraculous victory in 2016 but simply can’t be replicated? After Trump loses, will the GOP give up on MAGA, or embrace it? And finally is political violence and rioting here to stay? And what does that mean for the coming Biden regime?

It’s Sunday, October 18, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group. I’m joined today by Edward Dutton. Binge watching “Jeeves and Wooster” is own his personal crack.Main Topic: Fear and Loathing in Odesa The long-awaited October surprise is here. This week brought scandalous revelations involving Joe Biden’s son, Hunter: wheeling and dealing on the international scene . . . strippers, sex, and drugs . . . and an incomprehensible backstory. Can this material be believed? Is there something more to the story. And does this all make Hunter, well, kind of relatable and maybe cool? We then move to the scandal within the scandal: Twitter’s brazen suppression of information related to the story. Deplatforming remains THE essential issue for any alternative, dissident movement. And Ed and I, discuss policies that could actually solve the problem.

The President has tested positive, along with much of his White House staff. As of today, Donald Trump seems to be in recovery. And this program wishes him, and everyone else affected, all the best. But we’d be remiss not to examine the political fallout of Trump’s response and messaging when the virus first came to American shores. In the second half of the show, Ed and I turn to the prickly subject of disparate impact. Many are afraid to ask: Is Coronavirus not just deadly but, worse, racist!?

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, and the “Notorious RBG” is set to be replaced by the “glorious ACB,” jurist Amy Coney Barrett. Barrett’s nomination will, no doubt, send many into hysterics and the affair will be enveloped in dirty tricks, smear campaigns, and intrigue. But before we crank out the popcorn, it’s important to take a step back and examine the true nature of the Supreme Court. What does this institution—a priestly order of conformist yet immensely powerful midwits—tell us about the nature of the American government and who exactly is in control.

Hunter Wallace debates Richard Spencer (and Keith Woods) on "modernism."

It’s Wednesday, September 23, 2020, and welcome back to The McSpencer Group. We are still polling quite poorly in Wisconsin. Joining me are Ed Dutton and Keith Woods. Main Topic: The Death of Atheism. It seemed like only yesterday that all those online atheists were dominating YouTube—owning the fundies with facts and logic. *The dinosaurs are real—take that, Christians!* Chief Atheist Richard Dawkins just released a new book, *Outgrowing God*. If anything, it expresses the intellectual exhaustion and growing irrelevancy of the movement he launched some 15 years ago. Ed, Keith, and I look back at so-called “New Atheism,” revealing how those liberal edge-lords never asked any serious questions and how the battle between science and religion is not what it’s cracked up to be.

This week, the Internet was set aflame over Netflix’s latest release, an award-winning French drama about young girls, simply entitled Cuties (“*Mignonnes*”).It struck a nerve and was the latest example of the yawning gulf between people who watch movies and the obnoxious *poseurs* who write about them. Is this film little more than child pornography *en masquerade*? Is it encouraging or “normalizing” the sexualization of young girls?Or are we overreacting to what is simply a French art house *outrage*? By using so many French words, am I, in fact, making it worse? Edward Dutton and Richard Spencer discuss the reaction to the film and how we can better understand pedophilia and its place in contemporary culture.

Ron Unz has, once again, proved to be the straw that stirs the dissident drink. He’s published an article on the failures of White Nationalism—which has sparked reaction and outrage. His counter-intuitive thesis: by focusing on immigration, the Alt-Right missed the boat and now has nothing insightful to say about the most traumatic social change of our time. Does he have a point? The panel says “yes.” After swallowing that bitter medicine, we tred into even darker intellectual territory, regarding free speech, feminism as a return to nature, and how Western civilization was ruined by its own success. No sacred cow will be saved from the slaughter.

Brooks Brothers has fallen. Sales have declined; Factories, closed, and thousands of employees, furloughed or fired. Bankruptcy now seems imminent. Founded in 1818, Brooks Brothers clothed Civil War soldiers, U.S. presidents, and it was integral in the development of prêt-a-porter menswear. The fashion house was a foundation stone of what it meant to be “preppy”What does Brooks Brothers’ demise tell us about consumer behavior—and the decline of taste and manners? More broadly, what does it spell for the human condition, to be enveloped in plastic, uniform garments, that suck the soul dry of aspiration, and any connection to tradition and meaning. Should luxury be defended? The panelists discuss.

America, it seems, is breaking down. The BLM demonstrations just won’t end. And these “peaceful protests” are getting really violent. Cities look like war zones. Elected officials are joining in and getting gassed. Boomers, who just wanted to grill, now look like they’re ready to kill. A federal response from the the Trump administration was all but inevitable. But instead of the police or national guard taking back the streets, we get shadowy, masked figures in camouflage, driving mini vans, swooping in to apprehend organizers. What does all this mean? Is this the long-awaited of re-assertion of authority? Or does this reveal weakness and sympathy with the protests? Does Washington view its own territory much like it does the Middle East—a place full of foreigners, where the only form of engagement is “black ops"?

Did you ever post some edgy shit on an anonymous chat forum? Do you think that gender might, in fact, be real? Well, you probably soon find yourself “cancelled.” But never fear. If you’re a bestselling author of young-adult fantasy fiction or a tenured researcher at a neoconservative think-tank, you can publish an open-letter expressing your devotion to free-thought and liberal principles, and your status will be secured. Otherwise, you’ll just be fired. The panel discusses the ins- and outs of “cancel culture.”

This past week, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Hagia Sophia will, once again, be converted into a Mosque. The cathedral was completed in the 6th century during the reign of Justinian I. And in 1453, Hagia Sophia was seized and made a Mosque by the invading Ottomans, who brought the ancient world to an inglorious end. In 1934, the secularizing Turkish government converted the cathedral into a museum, and it was designated a “World Heritage” site by the United Nations. Many in the Western world expressed shock and alarm by the latest developments. The Pope, reportedly, is sad. But being that Hagia Sophia was taken from the West more than 500 hundred years ago, are we really in any position to object? The panel discusses this symbol of Roman triumph and Medieval conquest—and how this might signal the coming to an end of 20th-century liberalism.

Mark Brahmin and Richard Spencer discuss football and the inevitable transformation of America's Game, from Colin Kaepernick's triumph martyrdom to the inevitable renaming of the Washington Redskins.

SJWism is not simply a variation on liberalism or leftism. It’s best understood as a replacement religion—one that is flourishing in our putatively secular age. Traditional religions succeeded in making populations more evolutionarily adaptive: more fertile, cooperative, and willing to outcompete others, all of which are conceived as the will of the gods. SJWism, by contrast, is a “death cult” that aims to lose.Among other effects, the rise of the SJW marks the return of heresy as a religious and political concept, as well as the dolling out of quasi-death sentences to those who think “evil” thoughts. One cannot understand current controversies around social-media “de-platforming” and “cancel culture” without inquiring into the evolutionary origins of the SJW religion, which undergirds and legitimizes these phenomena.In the end, the West’s collapse into “Clown World” is due to the impact of industrialization on the human environment and the end of Darwinian selection. One surprising result is the birth of a new intolerant religion, which shares much in common with monotheism, but has dispensed with God.https://nationalpolicy.institute/2020/03/26/the-return-of-heresy/

It has happened before. It can happen again. And it can happen here.https://nationalpolicy.institute/2020/04/11/how-a-virus-can-shake-the-world/

The Pandemic and Political Chaos It’s Friday, April 3, and The McSpencer Group is back. Joining me today are Keith Woods and Mark Brahmin. Main topic: Anarcho-Tyranny It’s not just the flu, bro. It’s not a Democratic hoax. And it’s not magically going away in April. Coronavirus is here, and it’s created a “new normal” for over half the population of the planet, who are quarantined in their homes with only Netflix and OnlyFans there to carve out a semblance of community. The panel takes a step back and looks at what the Corona crisis reveals about us, the nature of government, and the future of geopolitics. Most pundits and politicians will be spared by Coronachan . . . only to be destroyed by their unbearably bad takes. Coronavirus has separated the wheat from the chaff; it’s revealed the weakness and incompetance of the “world’s only Superpower,” and clouded the future. The panel discusses Pan-Europeanism, Carl Schmitt and Sam Francis, the My Pillow guy’s political religion, and the decline of the American empire. No topic is too pretentious or arcane for this panel of pseudo-intellectual posers.

It’s Tuesday, February 24 and welcome back to The McSpencer Group— leaked audio reveals that we said nice things about Fidel Castro back in the ‘80s. Top issue: Bernie v BloombergSenator Bernie Sanders won Nevada—and won it in a landslide. A man who was once a curiosity in Washington is now the undisputed frontrunner and the figurehead of a mass movement. MSNBC is freaking it out. Conservatives are dusting off talking points from the Brezhnev era. And American voters don’t seem to care. Bernie’s most powerful opponent is former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg, who’s spending hundreds of millions on social media and literally paying people to like him. The billionaire class might lay claim to owning the American presidency, but never before has a billionaire sought to buy the office for himself outright. While Trump plays a nationalist on TV, Bloomberg is a ruthless and effective defender of neoliberal capitalism. The panel discusses what all this means for dissident politics of the Left and Right.
