This is the unregistered podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.

This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate, out of bounds, or beyond the pale.

The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a school teacher, a college professor,

a businessman, a politician, a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host.

These are the things you're not supposed to say or even think if you're a good liberal, a good conservative,

or a good citizen.

Each week, I'll interview a person who has something bad to say.

They might be a journalist or a professor.

They might be a porn star or a drug dealer.

They might just be an ordinary person with an ordinary job who doesn't care about the

rules of polite society. I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.

I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought and to expand the scope

of what is possible to say in our society. I'm interested in people who make me think.

My guest this week holds the distinction of being the only philosopher in the world

to be officially sanctioned by the United States government.

He is sanctioned because he is considered to be the leading intellectual behind the global nationalist populist movement that is threatening to take over governments across Europe and the United States, and he is known as Vladimir Putin's mind.

This is my interview with Alexander Dugan.
