Tonight I open with the great time-change muddle: the UK has already fallen back, the US catches up at the weekend, and our listeners across Rumble, YouTube and the rebroadcast networks are wondering if we’re early, late, or merely English. From shorts-in-October bravado to dark-evenings melancholy, Eric von Essex, Patrick and I warm up with weather, wordplay and horse‑racing tangents before settling into the real meat: how crowd psychology, comfort, and compliance shape public life. Socrates, clocks, and crowd management give way to a spirited exchange on policing, paperwork, and the rituals of modern bureaucracy.

In hour two we’re joined by Monica Schaefer for a frank, challenging conversation about feminism, family, and the engineered drift between the sexes: women’s and men’s complementary roles, why online culture and “sex‑ed” turn corrosive, and how to speak hard truths without stoking pointless gender hostility. We range from schools and SOGI policies to birth‑control history, demographics and the old-fashioned virtue of duty—pausing for films, music and a few well‑aimed barbs. Monica also shares an update on her brother Alfred’s imprisonment and points listeners to where cards and letters can be sent. Next week we’re back at 3:00 PM US Eastern when the clocks finally align.
