Have we hit the "another week, another act of homegrown terror" phase of American history? Spencer Klavan joins Steve and Charles for a roundup of the (relatively) young academic's recent works on subjects ranging from Francis Fukayama's oft-misunderstood thesis to the ascent of figures like Hasan Piker, who hope to microloot our stores of social capital (and Whole Foods, too). The trio then set their sights on the possibilities before the classical education rebellion that's breaking out on campuses.
Plus, Cooke and Hayward dive into this week's SCOTUS decision on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and they see an achievement worth celebrating in the United Arab Emirates' decision to leave OPEC.

I just love Spenser Klavan's deep, sonorous voice. And he writes well.

Great to hear Spencer on the podcast! I've been putting off buying the Golden Thread, even though I know it will be worth it, due to its hefty price tag. But Spencer's review in CRB and today's discussion will probably break down my resistance and get me to crack open the wallet.
