The King welcomes back Spencer Klavan to discuss his important new book, How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises. Every news cycle further confirms that the world has gone mad and Western culture itself is on the ropes. Not so fast. Each of us can help save our civilization by internalizing the truth and beauty conveyed in the masterpieces of Western culture.
Spencer earned a Ph.D. from Oxford in the classics, hosted the popular Young Heretics podcast, and soon will host a Daily Wire show covering the Western canon.
Then Jon talks about the news of the week including the Great Balloon War of 2023, the toxic train derailment, and the post-Covid rise of teen depression.
Subscribe to the King of Stuff Spotify playlist featuring picks from the show. This week, Jon remembers Plug Two of De La Soul, with their classic “A Roller Skating Jam Named ‘Saturdays.’“

It’s really amazing that a practicing homosexual who is married to another man (who by the way happens to be the general counsel for the Daily Wire) and thinks these things are somehow compatible with Christianity, THE foundation of Western Civilization, has the gall to write a book telling me how to “save the West”. There’s a really great Greek word for holding oneself in such high regard.
Yeah lets just kick him to the curb and tell him that he should be a promiscuous drug-taking Communist.
In all seriousness, why is it so hard for so many people people to say to gays, I disagree with his lifestyle but I respect you as a person and as an American and I want you to vote against the Woke nonsense.
I am very confident that his book is well written and worth reading.
