Russell Lamberti, Economist and Executive Director of Sakeliga, sits down with me again to discuss a range of topics. We discuss, among other things, how the "Battle of Ideas™" has failed, a retrospective on the politics and lessons from the decade between 2015 - 2025, why community-based organisations such as AfriForum have achieved great successes in South Africa, how the future belongs to the builders and the men of action, idolatry of the Act, and more.

I chat with Hügo Krüger, a South African structural engineer who did his Masters degree in the field of nuclear energy, writer and podcast host, about the piece he co-authored, The New Great Game. We discuss the nuanced factors regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, modern resource wars, the mirage of Net Zero, nuclear energy, and the “useful idiots” in the West, the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) movement (woke capital), and much more.

![Embrace the chaos | David Bullard
I have a chat with David Bullard about satire, freedom of speech, mocking the elites, the South African political zeitgeist(s), the great liberal slide away, embracing the chaos in South Africa, and more.
David Bullard is a veteran South African columnist, author, TV presenter and celebrity public speaker known for his controversial satire and frank analysis.
Bullard started writing a column Out to Lunch for the Business Times section of The Sunday Times newspaper in 1994. It was thought to be one of the most widely read columns published in the country (with a claimed readership at its peak of 1.7mln readers) at least in part because of Bullards habit of insulting and infuriating the rich and famous.
In 2002 the first collection of his columns, Out to Lunch, went straight to the number 1 best seller spot. That was followed by a second collection, Out to Lunch Again, in 2005. The third, Screw it, Lets Do Lunch!, appeared in 2007 and remained on the best seller list for 4 months. A fourth book ‘Out to Lunch, Ungagged’ was published in 2012 and contained a large collection of columns written after his firing from The Sunday Times.
