    Jayant Bhandari: The West Has Forgotten That Freedom Requires Order

    In this episode of The Covered Call, we sit down again with Jayant Bhandari — one of the most provocative and intellectually fearless thinkers we’ve had on the show. In our first conversation, Jayant challenged us to rethink freedom, truth, and the cultural foundations of civilization. Since then, we’ve joined him in Vancouver at his Capitalism & Morality conference — where voices like Rick Rule, Maxime Bernier, Stephan Kinsella, and Amy Wax pushed the boundaries of honest debate. In this new episode, Jayant expands on those ideas — warning that the West is moving toward instability and civil conflict, not because of external enemies, but because of a thousand small compromises eroding trust, discipline, and cultural coherence. We discuss: * Why homogeneity — not diversity — underpins stable, high-trust societies. * How political correctness turned schools into propaganda machines. * Why China’s rise is cultural as much as economic. * What India’s decline reveals about leadership and social philosophy. * And why truth-seeking demands both financial freedom and moral courage. Jayant’s insights are controversial, sharp, and difficult to ignore. Whether you agree or not, this conversation forces you to confront uncomfortable realities about the world we’re living in — and the civilizations we may yet lose.

Since a certain important character is mentioned several times, we thought it prudent to let the heat of the discussion die down. This is self-censorship, make no mistake about it - and we are not proud to do it! But rather than editing it out, we thought this was a way to have our cake and eat it too. This is a public episode.

    Maxime Bernier: Liberty Is the Cure for a Failing West

    In this episode of The Covered Call, we sit down with Maxime Bernier — former Canadian cabinet minister, founder of the People’s Party of Canada, and one of the few politicians who’s actually walked away from power to defend principle. Maxime spent over a decade inside Canada’s political machine before saying enough was enough. In this conversation, he breaks down why the West is in decline — not just economically, but morally and philosophically — and why liberty, not bureaucracy, is the only real cure. We talk about: * The coming monetary reset and why gold will reprice the entire system * How mass welfare and mass immigration are eroding the social fabric * Why comfort is killing our freedom * And what it takes to leave behind a life of political privilege to stand for conviction A note about this episode: This isn’t a policy debate — it’s a look at the deeper civilizational struggle between freedom and control, responsibility and dependency. Maxime is banging the drum for mass deportations pretty hard, and this rhetoric rubs us, as the hosts of the show, a bit wrong. We are both guests in the countries we choose to live in, and believe in small, efficient government and cannot earnestly reconcile that a small government would engage in actions such as mass deportations. In our own opinion, a small government would rather address the underlying incentives to curb and reverse the kind of immigration that would bring a society over its “carrying capacity”. Please listen to the end, where Jason and Lovis recap and share more of our personal view on the subject. Stay free,Lovis & Jason This is a public episode.
