Ready for a new video series that drills down in-depth on not just the issues but also the philosophical crises that undergird them? Want to get an intelligent, in-depth overview of the challenges facing the country and the Right?

And how about spending time each week with a well-known star of the screen who has real insight into cultural issues and how they play out in America?

Welcome back to my VIP video series “The Amiable Skeptics,” featuring my friend Adam Baldwin! Adam is well-known for his long and storied Hollywood career, starting with My Bodyguard, and especially for his roles in Full Metal Jacket, Firefly, its film sequel Serenity, Chuck, and The Last Ship.

After Joe Biden’s Red Wedding speech last month, the issue of creeping presidential authoritarianism has become even more acute. How do we limit presidential imperialism and protect self-governance? Adam and I discuss the need for an Article V convention to force Congress into asserting its authority while limiting their ability to spend outrageously. We need a constitutional renewal — and that may start with repealing the 17th Amendment to restore the standing of states in Washington DC.
