coming up on this episode of the Roundtable.

There is this statistic that I keep seeing, a theory, I guess, that I keep seeing cited,

which I find really amusing, but also kind of telling on the No Kings website,

if you scroll down to what's next in the fight, they say, we're inspired by the 3.5% principle.

It only takes 3.5% of the population engaging in sustained strategic protest against authoritarianism

to achieve significant political change.

Am I missing something?

Or is that basically saying like, hey, guys, we really can stage a Bolshevik revolution.

Like, that's just like, it's a funny thing to say at a no king's protest that like it only takes 3.5% of the population to overturn a duly elected president.

I'm your host, Spencer Claven, Associate Editor of the Claremont Review of Books and Monarchic, Kingley editor of the American Mind.

So far, the protests haven't kicked me out of my authoritarian

king, publisher and president, Ryan Williams, is out on vacation, very well-earned summer vacation this week.

And that means we are going it alone, doing it live here with Mike Sabo, managing editor.

Mike, welcome to our first ever two-man pod.

Seth and I used to do this back in the day, but this is our first

time trying it out. Those were honestly, so probably my favorite episodes. I'm really looking

forward to it. I know, dude. I really liked the Claven and Barron episodes, too. So the,

the Claven and Sabo show is going to be fun. I bet. It's a funny week for it to be happening,

honestly, because

summer's always a kind of skeleton crew type time. We've got all sorts of stuff that we do here
