In this two-hour January 2021 session, Mark Weber and Fróði Midjord examine the factors behind the ever more obvious breakdown of American-style democracy. How did a country that was so successful for more than a century become so confused and divided? “History matters,” Weber says. The discord and disorder of today’s America are the inevitable result of policies based on the seemingly noble but fundamentally false egalitarian-universalist view of life, society and history that has guided the US for decades. No nation based on such a worldview can endure, says Weber. He also speaks about the crucial Jewish role in shaping the cultural, intellectual, social and political life of modern America.

Mark Weber and Fróði Midjord examine and dissect a range of widely accepted myths about the devastating global conflict of 1939-1945. In this August 2020 session they explain how the war’s outcome decisively shaped today’s America and Europe. Runtime: 130 mins. They show that the conflict was not, as we’re told, a clear-cut battle between Good and Evil. The two also discuss Churchill, Hitler and ‘The Unnecessary War’: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World, by Patrick J. Buchanan. This readable and well researched book by one of America’s most astute and influential public affairs commentators is a bold and persuasive debunking of the “official” story of the origins and trajectory of WW2. It’s also a devastating critique of the “cult” image of Winston Churchill.

Historian Mark Weber joins host Daniel Davis in this March 2010 session of “Beyond 50 Radio” (Oregon) to discuss US military intervention and foreign policy over the past century. The United States, says Weber, has changed from a republic focused on its own prosperity and well-being to a globally intrusive military power. He recalls the US role in the Spanish-American war of 1898, the first US bid for imperialism, as well as in World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and, more recently, in Iraq and Afghanistan. He looks at the pretexts used by political leaders to justify those military campaigns and interventions. The enduring US military role around the world, he says, reflects an entrenched view that America is a social-political model for all nations, and therefore has a right, based on perceived moral superiority, to intervene everywhere. Going to war to fight “evil” or “terrorism,” says Weber, is a recipe for endless strife and conflict. Runtime: 9:47 mins.

Mark Weber joins host Fróði Midjord in this lively, wide-ranging session to talk about The Godfather, Parts I and II, and to explain how the story it tells is relevant today. In this May 2020 episode of the “Guide to Kulcher” series, the two men examine how the Godfather story profoundly underscores the tragedy of modern America. Besides being great cinema art and superb story-telling, this film masterpiece is also important for what it says about modern US society. That’s suggested in the opening scene of The Godfather, Part I, which begins with the words “I believe in America.” Runtime: 101 mins.

In this special Election Day session, Nov. 3, 2020, Jared Taylor, Kevin MacDonald, Greg Johnson, and Oliver join Mark Weber and Fróði Midjord – host of the “Guide to Kulcher” series – with perspective on an historic election and a tumultuous year, and views on what’s likely to happen in the months ahead. Runtime: 140 mins.

Host Greg Johnson is joined by Jared Taylor, Mark Weber, Sam Dickson, and Jason Kessler for a lively, provocative look at one of the most divisive election campaigns in US history. In this Nov. 8, 2020, “Counter-Currents Radio” session, these seasoned observers look back at the turmoil, strife, and fear of the past year, and review the profound demographic and cultural trends behind the ever more obvious discord of American society today. They also discuss the record and impact of the Donald Trump presidency, and offer some observations on what’s likely in the years ahead. Runtime: 133 minutes.

Mark Weber joins host Fróði Midjord in a probing look at one of the most influential and enduring of American novels. Although its story is set in the 1920’s “Jazz Age,” The Great Gatsby is uncannily relevant for our age. In this Nov. 2020 episode of the “Guide to Kulcher” series, Weber explains why F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is not only a brilliant and elegantly crafted work of literature, it’s also important for what it says about American society and the trajectory of American history. Runtime: 84 mins. Many more people are familiar with film versions than with the book, especially the glittery, sprawling adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the mellower version starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. But these screen adaptations fail to convey the novel’s deeper social-cultural message.

Mark Weber joins host James Edwards in this 50-minute session of “The Political Cesspool” radio show, Jan. 22, 2021, to first take a clear-eyed look at the legacy of Donald Trump and his four years in the White House. Given his character and track record, Weber says, it was never realistic to expect Trump to fulfill his extravagant campaign promises, much less to make good on his pledge to “Make America Great Again.” Looking ahead, Weber notes the grossly skewed make-up of the incoming administration. Although Joe Biden claims to want men and women in prominent positions to represent America’s ethnic-racial diversity, the Biden-Harris administration will be top-heavy with Zionist Jews in key high-level posts, thereby reflecting its embrace of the Jewish-Zionist agenda
