Only adopted as such in 1956! Unfortunately, it replaced the original, “E pluribus unum,” which signified that we, in America, unite around a *principle*: individual rights–including the right to pursue happiness. #MakeAmericaAmericanAgain https://t.co/GPsodZNnz0

“None of the Above” #1 (With Yaron Brook) TODAY at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT)

I finally completed my discussion of Jordan B. Peterson’s book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, so I will be returning to my regular show format on Wednesday the 21st. (In case you missed my discussions, you can catch them on my fledgling YouTube channel here–and please subscribe while you’re there!)

Today I am excited to be starting a new series of shows with Yaron Brook, a friend whom I’ve had as a guest on my show many times. Yaron allowed me to title the show, after a favorite Duran Duran song, “None of the Above.” You’ll hear my reasoning behind that, as well as get an introduction to the sort of things to expect from the show, if you tune in TODAY at 2 p.m. ET. It will be streaming live on YouTube at Yaron’s channel here. See Program Notes, below, for some of the stories, etc., we plan to discuss.

UPDATE: Here’s the link to today’s show on YouTube, ICYMI.

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me over the years; things are building slowly, but the past year in particular has been promising, with appearances on Fox and now this opportunity to co-host a show with Yaron.

If you’d like to support me and my show, the best way to do it now, in terms of ease of administration for me, is at my new Patreon page. I’ll be doing my first Q & A for January supporters in a couple days. If you have supported me here, through my blog/PayPal/other ways, and would like to submit a question for that Q & A, then please do so through the contact form here at the blog.
