The Conservatarians

Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) and Stephen Miller (aka @RedSteeze) welcome Tom Shillue to discuss his new book, Mean Dads for a Better America: The Generous Rewards of an Old-Fashioned Childhood. Tom is a Fox News contributor and hosted the late, great “Red Eye.” He’s also a popular stand-up comedian, tours with Jim Gaffigan, and regularly sings on Jimmy Fallon, barbershop quartet-style. Jon and Steve also discuss the big freedom-of-speech win in SCOTUS for synth-pop band The Slants, and the utter lameness of shouting down Shakespeare.

The intro song is “Fight Back” by The Slants. Jon’s song of the week is “Ghost Stories” by Dave Catching & Secret Secrets, and Stephen’s is “Third of May / Ōdaigahara” by Fleet Foxes.

Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) and Stephen Miller (aka @RedSteeze) talk about the latest incident of leftist violence — the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise and the GOP congressional baseball practice. Since the gunman was a Bernie Sanders volunteer and ardent Trump hater, progressives and the press insist that their lurid anti-Republican rhetoric shares none of the blame. This is quite a turn of events from their response to apolitical attacks on Democrats, such as Gabby Giffords in Tucson.

The intro song is “Red Flag” by The Moth & The Flame. Jon’s song of the week is “Sympathy for the Auto Industry” by HeCTA, and Stephen’s is “Remain” by Jay Som.
