Hello and welcome to the Americano podcast, a series of discussions about American politics and life.

My name is Freddie Gray. I'm the deputy editor of The Spectator.

I am delighted to be joined here in the

Spectator offices by Curtis Jarvin, who I wanted to just say you are a neo-reactionary blogger,

because every time I read about you in the New York Times or anywhere else, they say you are a

neo-reactionary blogger. But I thought perhaps I should just say you know how do you see yourself

how would you like to be described you know I think I could do a little better than that I think of

myself as America's premier monarchist blogger you know by monarchist of course I don't mean that

I'm into this costume monarchy crowned Kardashian thing.

I mean, I mean, a real monarch.

I mean, less Elizabeth II and more Elizabeth I first, or even Henry the 7th.

Yeah, well, you've even described Queen Elizabeth II as a Kardashian, but a classy Kardashian.

A classy card.

Yes.

Oh, you know, let no one question that the Queen has class, you know, but she's no Henry

the 7th, that's for sure.

And one wonders what Henry the 7th would make of Britain today.

But do you recall from now that of being a blogger?

Yes, blogger is fair.
