From writer and political analyst Jared Yates Sexton comes a

journey through the history of the United States, from the nation's founding to the twentyfirst century, which examines and debunks the American myths we've always told ourselves. In recent years, Americans have faced a deluge of horrifying developments in politics and culture: stolen elections, fascist rallies, families torn apart and locked away. A common refrain erupts at each new atrocity: This isn't who we are. In American Rule, Jared Yates Sexton upends those convenient fictions by laying bare the foundational myths at the heart of our collective American imagination. From the very origins of this nation, Americans in power have abused and subjugated others; enabling that corruption are the many myths of American exceptionalism and steadfast values, which are fed to the public and repeated across generations. Working through each era of American growth and change, Sexton weaves together the origins and perpetuation of these narratives still in the public memory, and the acts we have chosen to forget. Stirring, deeply researched, and disturbingly familiar, American Rule is a call to examine our own misconceptions of what it means, and has always meant, to be an American.

0:00.0	Hello there. On today's show, I've got two great guests who both joined me separately yesterday.
0:07.2	First is Kobe Hall of Mediite, and then it's Jared Yates Sexton, who is one of my favorite
0:13.6	commentators, writers, authors, and podcasters. My conversation with Kobe starts at eight minutes,
0:18.9	and Jared and I started at about 38 minutes.
0:21.4	They're coming up just after the headlines.
0:24.2	I don't have your clips today because my computer is acting real funny here at my parents' house just outside Syracuse, New York.
0:30.9	Having a hard time running an external monitor.
0:33.5	I think it's time to upgrade.
0:34.9	Either way, I can't do any of the upgrades without your support. Patreon.com
0:39.1	slash P. Dominic if you want to buy me a new computer for my parents. Now, I'm going to have to go out and get one today, I think, because this will not stand. I can't pull clips, but I do have your headlines and I do have these great conversations. I'm very very excited for you to be here.
0:54.8	I look forward to seeing you on Thursday night at our hangout. I also hope that you will be coming

1:14.0	The Epstein turmoil continues. And yesterday it's really affected the United Kingdom because
1:19.6	their prime minister is now facing pressure over Epstein turmoil. Several top officials in Britain's
1:25.8	government rushed to declare their support for the
1:28.3	Prime Minister, Kier Starrmer, whose grip on power appeared to be under threat, writes the New York Times.
1:33.2	Starmor's chief of staff resigned over his role in the appointment of Peter Mandelson, the ambassador
1:37.9	to the U.S., whom Starmert fired in September over his ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
1:43.6	So the Prime minister of the UK
1:46.7	gave the ambassadorship to the U.S. to a guy named Peter Mandelson. And now his chief of staff
1:53.5	has resigned, Starmers. And there is still pressure on Starmer to resign. Senior member
