The Affordability Problem, and How to Help Young White Men | Tom Woods Show #2791
J. Burden joins me to discuss the affordability problem and some unique issues facing young white men, and why mocking them might not be the best approach. We cover the real economic data behind the anger: hiring discrimination, wage collapse when priced in gold, the housing trap (3x income in 1990 vs 9x today), the college sorting machine, and why the dating market in 2026 feels broken. Plus what young men are actually DOING about it — building parallel institutions, returning to church, and starting companies instead of waiting for permission. IN THIS EPISODE: • What "radicalization" actually means — thinking outside the 1986 GOP index card • The "woke right" slur and the neocon playbook after Trump 2024 • The numbers: 95% of S&P 100 net new jobs to people of color (Bloomberg 2021) & 88% of net job growth 2020-2025 to immigrants (CIS) • How the college and hiring pipeline is stacked against young white men • Why 2016-2019 liberal fixes (IDW, Jordan Peterson) and Trump didn't restore a fair shot • The affordability lie: houses are still ~10 oz of gold — your wages collapsed • First-time homebuyer age: 26 in the 90s → 40 today • Why 600-700 applications for 4 interviews is now normal • Men & women as separate political classes and the dating collapse • The "low agency" myth, Groyper purges, and why young men ARE building • Old Glory Club (OGC), EXIT, and entrepreneurship — Gen Z building outside the system • The return to demanding faith: Orthodoxy, traditional Catholicism, austere Protestantism • Why the system selecting against competence is the ultimate HR windfall for builders • 60-second elevator pitch for any frustrated young man listening CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro: The Affordability Problem & Alleged Radicalization 02:16 - What Does "Radical" Even Mean? 05:27 - The "Woke Right" Slur Explained 07:16 - Do Young Men Have Legitimate Grievances? 08:06 - 95% of S&P 100 Jobs Went to People of Color 08:58 - 88% of Job Growth Went to Immigrants (2020-2025) 09:29 - It Started Under Obama: The Rise of Woke 10:27 - College Admissions: The Deck Is Stacked 11:58 - The IDW & Jordan Peterson Era — Trying to Play Fair 12:53 - Trump as a Course Correction 13:20 - 2020: Realizing the System Won't Reform Itself 14:19 - 600 Applications, 4 Interviews — Real Job Search Stories 17:28 - The Real Crisis: Housing Priced in Gold (Will Tanner) 18:58 - Your House Didn't Get Expensive — Your Wages Collapsed 20:59 - The Dating Scene in 2026 22:07 - Men and Women as Separate Political Classes 24:41 - Why Young Women Are Out-Earning Young Men Now 28:02 - The Old Guard Response: "You're Just Entitled" 28:52 - The "No Agency" Myth & Groyper Purges at Heritage / YRs 34:01 - Build It Yourself: The Old Glory Club 35:06 - Gen Z Is Wildly More Entrepreneurial Than Millennials 35:51 - The Unexpected Return to Church 38:11 - Kevin Dolan's EXIT Group: A Parallel Network 40:13 - How Community Actually Works (School of Life & A New Baby) 42:32 - The Victim Mentality Trap 43:50 - Older Men Need to Mentor, Not Moralize 47:23 - The System Decided to Make Itself Dumber (Cambridge / Jason Arday) 53:02 - Elevator Pitch: What Every Frustrated Young Man Should Do 53:55 - Wrap-Up — Where to Find J.

The Old Food Pyramid Was Killing You | Tom Woods Show #2790
Mark Sisson joins me for an interview people wrote to me about years later to say it changed their lives. This is a re-release from the vault — a 14-year-old episode from my days as a fill-in host on the Peter Schiff Show. Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint and creator of the Primal lifestyle, joins me to explain why the official food pyramid — with its 6–11 daily servings of grains — may have been quietly doing us harm. Mark is eminently qualified to talk: a biology major, a former elite marathoner (top finisher at the 1980 U.S. National Marathon Championships), and a man who spent 25 years distilling the nutrition research down to a few simple rules of living. We cover: • What the Primal Blueprint actually is (hint: it's not a diet) • Why grains aren't just unnecessary — they're potentially harmful • The USDA food pyramid and why official guidance is still in the dark • The cholesterol myth, and what actually drives heart disease • How little exercise you truly need to stay lean and healthy • Listener calls on uric acid, fruit, fermented grains, and more Chapters: 0:00 From the Vault: Young Woods Meets Mark Sisson 2:20 Introducing Mark Sisson & The Primal Blueprint 5:08 What the Primal Blueprint Is (A Three-Minute Overview) 8:26 Why Grains Are Unnecessary — and Harmful 12:30 Six to Eleven Servings a Day: The Food Pyramid Exposed 18:35 The Cholesterol Question Answered 23:00 Caller Q&A: Uric Acid, Fruit & Red Meat 25:00 How Much Exercise You Actually Need 32:10 Fermented Grains & Legumes: Mark's Take 35:00 Mark's Closing Advice & Where to Find Him (Ep. 2790 of the Tom Woods Show) Sponsors: Persist Marketing: https://Persist.Marketing Agorist Tax Advice: Pick up a free copy of the brilliant Matthew Sercely's Agorist Tax Toolkit at: https://AgoristTaxAdvice.com/woods Guest's Twitter: @Mark_Sisson https://x.com/Mark_Sisson Show notes page: https://tomwoods.com/2790 Other Important Links: https://SupportingListeners.com https://TomSchoolofLife.com https://LibertyClassroom.com https://RonPaulHomeschool.com https://NationalDivorce.com Audio & Video Production & Thumbnails by: Podsworth Media https://podsworth.com Check out the Podsworth App: Use code WOODS50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings, sound like a pro, and also support the Tom Woods Show!

The Coalition Cracks: Levin, Tucker, and JD Vance's Big-Tent Gamble
The right's "big coalition" is showing cracks. Mark Levin draws an absolute red line — he won't support anyone who fraternizes with Tucker Carlson. Mike Cernovich fires back, reminding Levin that all his 2016 huffing and puffing against Trump ultimately changed nothing. Then J.D. Vance takes a striking position, openly breaking from Trump's attacks on Tucker, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones — no purity tests, everyone has something to contribute. Tom Woods breaks it all down.

What's Really Going On With J.D. Vance's Favorability Ratings
J.D. Vance heads toward 2028 carrying a real problem: he's polling 12 points underwater on favorability. Tom Woods breaks down why the "not crazy" candidate — the one who reads a lot, speaks well, and leaves a decent impression — still enters the race with that deficit, and what it would actually take to climb out of it.

They Can't Criticize Trump, So They Target Vance Instead
Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin were "Never Trumpers" — yet now they shower Trump with over-the-top praise, from Levin's arm around him to Shapiro's literal "A-plus" in foreign policy. But when they're unhappy with Trump, they won't say his name. The "administration" gets murky... until they settle on a target who isn't Trump: J.D. Vance.

Tom Woods Destroys Ibram X. Kendi's "Lynch Mob" Rant
Tom Woods responds to Ibram X. Kendi after the closure of his Antiracist Research & Policy Center at Boston University. Kendi wrote that being a prominent anti-racist scholar means being "a target almost totally surrounded by resentments," facing attacks that "come like a lynch mob." Tom Woods isn't having it — calling Kendi a "contemptible charlatan" who, "despite producing nothing of value," has built his career on the guilt of others.

Why the Campaign Against JD Vance? | Tom Woods Show #2789
There are numerous reasons someone might oppose or be skeptical of JD Vance. None of them account for the neocon campaign against him. Dan McCarthy, Distinguished Fellow in Conservative Thought at the Heritage Foundation, discusses what's really going on. Dan and Tom dig into: Why Vance's actual polling (+62 favorability among Republicans) contradicts the civil-war narrative you see on X/Twitter The organized effort by neoconservatives and "Beltway libertarians" to rebrand classical liberalism as the litmus test for conservatism — and purge anyone who doesn't pass it Why JD Vance, not Trump, has become the acceptable target for intra-coalition attacks The succession problem: why Vance winning in 2028 would make MAGA-era changes permanent in a way a one-off Trump presidency never could Marco Rubio's evolution, his 2016 courtship by pro-Israel donors, and what Dan does and doesn't worry about with him Ron Paul, Joe Kent, and the difference between running to educate vs. running to win Mark Levin's "red line" on Tucker Carlson, and why Mike Cernovich keeps reminding him of his own 2016 record The generational and personnel battle inside the conservative movement that matters more than any single 2028 primary Dan McCarthy's work: X: @ToryAnarchist Publication: https://modernagejournal.com/ (Ep. 2789 of the Tom Woods Show) Sponsors: Policygenius: http://policygenius.com/woods Persist Marketing - https://Persist.Marketing Show notes page: https://tomwoods.com/2703 Other Important Links: https://SupportingListeners.com https://TomSchoolofLife.com https://LibertyClassroom.com https://RonPaulHomeschool.com https://NationalDivorce.com Audio & Video Production & Thumbnails by: Podsworth Media https://podsworth.com Check out the Podsworth App: Use code WOODS50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings, sound like a pro, and also support the Tom Woods Show!

The UN's Double Standard No One Is Allowed to Say Out Loud
The UN Secretary General wants you to know that indigenous peoples deserve dignity, cultural integrity, and protection from outside pressures. Tom Woods noticed something odd: that principle seems to apply to everyone… except certain groups. In this clip from The Tom Woods Show, Tom breaks down the glaring double standard embedded in mainstream Western discourse — where some peoples are celebrated as sacred and untouchable, while others are quietly expected to dissolve.

They Deliberately Destroyed American Neighborhoods
For generations, ethnic neighborhoods across America functioned as living, breathing communities — people born, raised, and buried among those who shared their culture, their language, their identity. It wasn't segregation. It was equilibrium. Then it ended. And Tom Woods argues it didn't end by accident. In this clip from The Tom Woods Show, Tom makes the case that the deliberate destruction of these tight-knit communities was the goal — not a byproduct of progress, not a side effect of policy. Something far more sinister. Watch: 2787: Liberalism Destroys Irreplaceable Things (like Europe), with Darryl Cooper ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-jH-wLQngg

The DEI Academic Racket Is Now Exposed
Tom Woods doesn't hold back: a plagiarist with "zero scholarly merit" was handed a full professorship at one of the world's most prestigious institutions at age 37 — while thousands of more qualified academics can't even find full-time work. This isn't an isolated incident. It's a system. And the people running it are starting to sweat.

Cambridge's DEI Scandal Backfires
For weeks, Cambridge University called the mounting evidence against Jason Arday a "vile campaign to undermine his credibility." Progressive academics rallied around him. The institution stood firm. Then came The Times. And suddenly, Cambridge's hands weren't tied anymore. Tom Woods breaks down the only thing that actually changed their minds — and it had nothing to do with standards, truth, or academic integrity.

Liberalism Destroys Irreplaceable Things (like Europe), with Darryl Cooper | Tom Woods Show #2787
Darryl Cooper discusses how the organic communities and peoples of the West are being destroyed, and what steps we can take. Tom Woods and Darryl Cooper (Martyr Made) continue the conversation Cooper began on The Tucker Carlson Show — this time going deeper. They open with Wendell Berry's description of the "ancient norm" of a good life: perceiving your calling, making a home, raising a family, growing old among neighbors, and dying surrounded by loved ones. It sounds obvious — yet it's precisely what modern society now treats as quaint, and the subject of the conversation is why. Cooper argues that for all of human history, people found meaning by plugging themselves into lasting things — family, community, church, a people — things that outlive the individual. In roughly the last sixty years, that entire project of communal life has been dismantled, replaced by atomized individuals chasing fleeting public attention. Tom and Darryl trace the mechanics: how the state deliberately broke up self-governing ethnic neighborhoods and parishes, why a people's culture is truly irreplaceable once lost, and what Ireland — a colonized nation with no colonial guilt — reveals about what's happening across the West. The conversation closes on the only realistic answer: you cannot elect your way out of this. Meaning is rebuilt at the local level, face-to-face — knowing your neighbors, going to church, and being the one who takes the initiative. Electing the right people won't fix it; only you will.

Jason Arday and Our Embarrassing Academic Elite | Tom Woods Show #2786
The Jason Arday plagiarism and all-around weirdo and liar scandal told us something not only about the University of Cambridge but also about the whole higher-education racket: a great many left-liberal academics defended an obvious charlatan down to the very last moment even though his plagiarism and other problems were obvious to everyone. In this episode, Tom breaks down: How Arday went from a PhD at Liverpool John Moores to a full professorship at Cambridge by age 37 — and why his dissertation prose alone should have disqualified him The extensive, side-by-side plagiarism in his published articles, and the "corrections" journals quietly issued rather than retracting his work The fabricated claims: a fictitious visiting scholar post at Ohio State, a phantom book deal with Palgrave Macmillan, inflated marathon and fundraising claims, and the wilder personal mythology (a mugging that "gave him epilepsy," a coma, a Brazilian shaman's prophecy) that a major publisher was reportedly still planning to print How Arday responded to scrutiny — including contacting the Metropolitan Police over a professor's simple request for clarification Why Cambridge only moved once the scandal threatened to embarrass the broader progressive project, not because the scholarship itself was fraudulent The hard numbers from the Compact article "The Statistics Behind the Jason Arday Scandal" comparing publication records by race and rank across top sociology departments — and what they reveal about hiring standards Two more cases in the same pattern: University of Maryland Eastern Shore president Heidi Anderson's plagiarized 1986 dissertation, and historian Kerry Greenidge's award-winning (and now unraveling) book "The Grimkes" Why Tom's own Columbia dissertation — "Ever Ancient, Ever New: Catholic Intellectuals and the Progressive Era" — has nothing to fear from this kind of scrutiny, and what that says about what a dissertation is actually supposed to be (Ep. 2786 of the Tom Woods Show) Sponsors: Expat Money - https://ExPatMoney.com/Woods Agorist Tax Advice - Pick up a free copy of the brilliant Matthew Sercely's Agorist Tax Toolkit at: AgoristTaxAdvice.com/woods Articles Mentioned: "Another College President Plagiarized Her Dissertation.

Totalitarian Public Health | Tom Woods Show #2785
Topher Field discusses the real story of the Covid-era horrors in Australia -- horrors the U.S. government never saw fit to utter a word about, even though it's constantly criticizing other regimes for something or other. What unfolded in Australia during the COVID years was a totalitarian experiment in real time: indefinite lockdowns, military enforcement, forced separations of families, vaccine mandates that stripped citizens of basic freedoms, and a coordinated suppression of dissent that would make authoritarian regimes blush. And the mainstream media in the West? Silence. The hypocrisy is stunning: America's foreign policy establishment is quick to condemn human rights abuses abroad, yet turns a blind eye when Western allies engage in the same tactics. Topher Field, documentary filmmaker and creator of the award-winning Battleground Melbourne, was there to witness and document the chaos. In this episode, he walks through the real story — the draconian lockdowns that devastated Melbourne's economy and mental health, the government overreach that went unchecked, and the questions no one in power wants to answer: How did a Western city descend into something unthinkable? And why is the American establishment so invested in pretending it never happened?

Michael Malice on Why You Should be White-Pilling | Tom Woods Show #2784
Two friends talk in this free-flowing conversation about everything. Michael Malice returns to the Tom Woods Show to white-pill you back to life — and make a compelling case that choosing hope isn't naivety, it's strategy.In a wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation, Tom and Michael cover: — Why the loss of shared culture (3 channels, Seinfeld, Sopranos) makes political coalition-building harder than ever — How both political parties are now campaigning on their worst impulses — The algorithmic dark side of X/Twitter: how platforms profit from keeping you in a state of constant agitation — especially about things you can't control — The COVID regime as national trauma and what it taught social media companies about managing minds — The HALT framework from psychiatry: why your brain lies to you when you're Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired — Why isolation is the exact wrong response to depression — and what to do instead — A surprising critique of Ayn Rand and Objectivism: the philosophical framework that produces intelligent people who aren't happy, don't have kids, and can't take a joke — Michael's white-pill moment at Gold's Gym — the "Tetris pieces aligning" epiphany that changed everything — The story of Unwanted, his graphic novel 25 years in the making — now finally coming to life with Eric July and Rippaverse — Why the answer to woke comics isn't anti-woke — it's just good stories — The Ron Paul book scandal: how Wiley passed on the #1 NYT bestseller of the year — Why the New York Times bestseller list isn't objective — and what Regnery did about it Michael closes with a message that cuts through the doom: there is a beautiful world out there, with very nefarious forces trying to keep you away from it.
