In a Biden World

Author: The Claremont Institute July 27, 2023 Duration: 57:46

Revelations and accusations are swarming around Hunter Biden. A foreign informant has alleged that the Bidens received $10 million in bribes from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and Hunter's plea deal on tax evasion charges has fallen apart. Will anything come of it—and would impeachment play right into the Democrats' hands? Meanwhile, from Greta Gerwig's Barbie to Jason Aldean's "Small Town," a new round of culture war salvos is heating up. The editors reflect on the tangled relationship between art and politics, then they remind you to read the damn site.

Behind the daily headlines and political noise, there's a deeper current of ideas shaping the nation. The American Mind Podcast, from The Claremont Institute, digs into that foundational layer. It moves beyond surface-level debate to examine the philosophical assumptions and historical principles that actually drive American life. In each episode, hosts sit down with Claremont scholars and a range of thoughtful critics to untangle the real causes of our cultural moment. These conversations aren't about quick takes or partisan scoring; they're sustained explorations of how concepts from history, philosophy, and political theory manifest in our society, news cycles, and personal lives. Tuning in, you'll hear rigorous but accessible discussions that connect timeless thought to contemporary upheaval. This podcast provides a space for listeners to step back from the frenzy and consider the underlying forces-the enduring ideals and the new challenges-that are continually remaking the American experiment. It’s for anyone who suspects there’s more to the story and wants to engage with the substantive ideas, not just the symptoms, of our political and cultural reality.
