Cuộc bầu cử Quốc Hội Hungary ngày 12/04/2026 thu hút sự chú ý không chỉ tại châu Âu, mà đặc biệt là ở Mỹ, chưa kể đến Nga. Ngay trước thềm bầu cử, phó tổng thống Mỹ J.D. Vance đã đến Budapest, để trực tiếp bày tỏ ủng hộ và vận động cho đảng của thủ tướng Viktor Orban, đang có nguy cơ thất cử, theo một số thăm dò dư luận. Theo giới quan sát, cuộc bầu cử này là một trắc nghiệm quan trọng đối với mô hình « dân chủ phi tự do », mà thủ tướng Orban được coi là người đã đặc biệt thành công trong việc triển khai, với hơn 16 năm cầm quyền liên tục. Orban, niềm cảm hứng của các lực lượng cực hữu, từ châu Âu đến Donald Trump Trả lời RFI tiếng Việt, ông Steven Forti, chuyên gia về chủ nghĩa phát xít và các đảng phái cực hữu châu Âu, giảng viên chuyên ngành lịch sử đương đại, Đại học Tự trị Barcelona - Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Tây Ban Nha), cho biết tầm quan trọng của phe cầm quyền tại Hungary đối với thế lực cực hữu Mỹ, được coi là đã góp phần đáng kể vào việc xác lập chính sách đối nội của chính quyền Trump nhiệm kỳ 2 : « Trong 10 năm qua đã có nhiều chuyến đi của các trí thức, nhà báo và chính trị gia Mỹ đến nước Hungary của Orban. Không chỉ với việc các thành viên của chính quyền Trump, như ngoại trưởng Rubio hay phó tổng thống Vance đến Hungary gần đây. Đã có những trí thức như Rod Dreher, nhà báo như Tucker Carlson, và nhiều trí thức – nhà hoạt động cực hữu ủng hộ Trump, như Christopher Rufo. Orban đã bổ nhiệm nhiều người Mỹ làm giám đốc, thành viên của các viện của chính phủ Hungary, trong đó có Gladden Pappin làm chủ tịch của Hungarian Institute of International Affairs. Những người cực hữu trẻ tuổi như Pappin, sau thời gian hoạt động ở Hungary đã trở về Mỹ, xuất bản các bài viết, vận động hành lang, đưa các thành viên khác đến Budapest. Vì vậy, đã có một mối quan hệ rất ổn định, rất mạnh mẽ. Điều này cũng thể hiện rõ trong mối quan hệ giữa nước Hungary của Orban với viện nghiên cứu mang tính biểu tượng, như Heritage Foundation, một tổ chức rất quan trọng và nổi tiếng, vì đã soạn thảo Project 2025, chương trình hành động năm 2025, mà Trump ít nhiều đã thực hiện trong năm đầu nhiệm kỳ thứ hai. Đọc thêm - Mỹ có thể chuyển sang chế độ "bán độc tài" nếu Trump tái đắc cử, thực thi "Project 2025" Có thể kể tên các tổ chức cực hữu Mỹ khác như Viện Nước Mỹ trên hết - America First Institute, viện Claremont Institute, hay các tổ chức như CPAC - Conservative Political Action Conference - Hội nghị Hành động Chính trị Bảo thủ, thường tổ chức các cuộc gặp mặt của cánh hữu và cực hữu của Mỹ và thế giới. Hội nghị của CPAC đã được tổ chức hàng năm tại Budapest kể từ năm 2022, cũng như tại Brazil năm 2019, sau chiến thắng của ứng viên tổng thống cực hữu Bolsonaro, hay tại Achentina năm 2024, sau chiến thắng của ứng viên tổng thống cực hữu Javier Milei. » Tháng 7/2024, Viktor Orban lập « Những người yêu nước vì châu Âu » (Patriots for Europe, gọi tắt là PfE hay P4E), một nhóm nghị sĩ cực hữu mới tại Nghị Viện Châu Âu. Nhóm này nhanh chóng trở thành lực lượng chính trị lớn thứ ba trong Nghị Viện Châu Âu, với 84 nghị sĩ (sau nhóm các đảng cánh hữu Nhân dân Châu Âu EEP, với 185 ghế, và nhóm các đảng cánh tả Xã hội - Dân chủ S&D, với 135 ghế). Đảng phái tham gia gồm FIDESZ của Orban, đảng cực hữu Pháp Mặt trận Dân tộc RN, đảng Liên đoàn Ý của Matteo Salvini, đảng ANO của CH Séc, đảng Tự do Hà Lan (PVV) của Geert Wilders, phong trào Chega của Bồ Đào Nha, đảng Vox của Tây Ban Nha, đảng Nhân dân Đan Mạch và đảng cực hữu Vlaams Belang của vùng Flanders (Bỉ) đòi độc lập. Đảng RN Pháp, với 30 nghị sĩ, là đảng lớn nhất.  Đảng FIDESZ của Orban chính thức bị khai trừ khỏi nhóm cánh hữu châu Âu EEP vào năm 2021. Theo nhà nghiên cứu Steven Forti, mô hình « Dân chủ phi tự do » của Orban đã có nhiều điều kiện thuận lợi để củng cố vị thế tại châu Âu một phần không nhỏ do được nhóm đảng cánh hữu châu Âu EEP bảo trợ trong một thời gian dài. « Dân chủ phi tự do » tuyên chiến với « dân chủ tự do »... Năm 2014, bốn năm sau khi lên cầm quyền, thủ tướng Orban xây dựng mô hình dân chủ « phi tự do » tại Hungary. Dân chủ phi tự do vốn là một thuật ngữ do nhà chính trị học người Mỹ Fareed Zakaria xác lập trong thập niên 1990, để mô tả một chế độ dựa trên việc tôn trọng kết quả bầu cử dân chủ, nhưng lại bỏ qua các khía cạnh khác của thể chế dân chủ, lợi dụng các công cụ dân chủ cho các mục đích « phi tự do » (như sửa đổi Hiến pháp hoặc kiểm soát việc bổ nhiệm để thâu tóm quyền lực). Công khai khẳng định chủ trương « dân chủ phi tự do », Orban trở thành thế lực đi tiên phong của phe cực hữu, trong cuộc chiến chống lại các định chế dân chủ tự do của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Tháng 2/2025, phát biểu của phó tổng thống JD Vance tại Diễn đàn an ninh Munich (ít tuần sau khi Trump lên nắm quyền nhiệm kỳ 2), đã gây chấn động các đồng minh châu Âu. Ông Vance rời hội trường, bỏ qua bài phát biểu của chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu, sau khi đã trực tiếp ủng hộ các thế lực cực hữu tại châu Âu, lên án Bruxelles, khẳng định « không phải Nga, không phải Trung Quốc » là mối đe dọa đối với Châu Âu, mà là việc Châu Âu « từ bỏ các giá trị cơ bản của mình ». Chiến lược An ninh Quốc gia của Mỹ, công bố đầu tháng 12/2025, chính thức khẳng định chiến lược hậu thuẫn các thế lực cực hữu châu Âu, chia sẻ các giá trị chung với nước Mỹ của Donald Trump, khi nhấn mạnh Châu Âu đang có nguy cơ rơi vào tình cảnh « văn minh suy tàn » trong hai thập niên tới. Ông Sébastien Maillard, cố vấn đặc biệt tại Viện tư vấn Jacques Delors (Paris), nhận định, văn bản này « lấy cảm hứng từ phong trào MAGA (Make America Great Again), khẩu hiệu tranh cử của Donald Trump, đánh dấu sự kết thúc của tình đoàn kết xuyên Đại Tây Dương và xác nhận nguy cơ Mỹ can thiệp chính trị  vào châu Âu ».

Orban giúp Nhà Trắng đẩy « các đồng minh châu Âu » vào chân tường Các tổ chức hoạt động trong lĩnh vực tư vấn, hoạch định chính sách ở Hungary, được Orban tài trợ và thành lập sau chiến thắng năm 2010, có mối quan hệ rất chặt chẽ, rất mạnh mẽ với các tổ chức cực hữu của Mỹ, và ắt hẳn đã có nhiều đóng góp vào việc định hình chính sách của chính quyền Trump đối với Châu Âu. Nhà nghiên cứu Steven Forti cho biết : « Ví dụ như Viện Danube, trung tâm Centre for Fundamental Rights, phiên bản Hungary của CPAC, cũng như các tổ chức quan trọng khác như Học viện Matthias Corvinus Collegium. Đây là một cơ sở đại học do Orban kiểm soát, với hơn 7.000 sinh viên mỗi năm và có hơn 25 chi nhánh, không chỉ ở Hungary mà còn ở các nước láng giềng như Rumani và Ukraina, cũng như ở Vienna, Bruxelles, và có thể ở cả Luân Đôn.  Học viện Matthias Corvinus Collegium còn là một viện tư vấn chính sách, cùng với các viện nghiên cứu chính sách khác, như Ordo Iuris của Ba Lan, đã trình bày tại trụ sở của viện tư vấn Heritage Foundation, Washington, một báo cáo về tương lai của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, hay nói đúng hơn là về sự cáo chung của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Sự trao đổi ý tưởng, phối hợp các hoạt động chính trị giữa hai bên đã diễn ra rất mạnh mẽ trong 10 năm qua. » Đọc thêm - Hungary : Viktor Orban một mình đối đầu với Liên Hiệp Châu Âu 4 nhiệm kỳ của Orban: Thất vọng của dân Hungary và sự trỗi dậy bất ngờ của Peter Magyar Sau 16 năm cầm quyền liên tục 4 nhiệm kỳ, thủ tướng Orban xác lập được một ảnh hưởng lớn trong giới cực hữu phương Tây, và đặc biệt là tiếng nói của Orban có vai trò quan trọng trong chính sách của Nhà Trắng với châu Âu thời Donald Trump, tuy nhiên, về đối nội, uy tín của Orban và FIDESZ có xu hướng giảm mạnh. Lạm phát tăng khoảng 50% từ 2020 đến 2025. Hungary trở thành một trong các nước có thu nhập thấp nhất châu Âu, sau khi đã từng là một nền kinh tế ở nhóm khá trong khối Cộng sản Đông Âu trước đây. Khoản tín dụng 18 tỷ euro của Hungary hiện đang bị Liên Âu đóng băng, do chính quyền Orban không tôn trọng pháp quyền. Từ một năm nay, chính trường Hungary đột ngột thay đổi khí sắc, với sự xuất hiện của một đảng đối lập mới, đảng trung hữu mang tên Tisza (Tôn trọng và Tự do) của Péter Magyar, một luật sư 45 tuổi và là nghị viên Nghị Viện Châu Âu. Theo nhiều thăm dò dư luận, đảng Tsiza có khả năng giành được đa số ghế trong Quốc Hội mới. Đọc thêm - Bầu cử Quốc Hội Hungary : Đảng đối lập với Viktor Orban dẫn đầu cuộc thăm dò Trả lời đài France 24, ông Jacques Rupnik, giáo sư tại Collège d'Europe ở Bruges (Bỉ), giám đốc nghiên cứu danh dự tại Sciences Po Paris, nhận định về một số điểm đáng lưu ý của cuộc bầu cử này: « Điều thú vị ở đây là ứng cứ viên đối lập cũng xuất thân từ đảng FIDESZ của thủ tướng Orban, đã có 20 năm hoạt động trong đảng này. Lãnh đạo đảng đối lập Tisza tấn công FIDESZ không phải về quá khứ của đảng này, điều đó sẽ khó khăn đối với chính ông ấy, mà là về hệ thống mà đảng này đã thiết lập. Cụ thể là sự kiểm soát của nhà nước đối với tất cả các thể chế, nạn tham nhũng, chủ nghĩa gia đình trị, kiểm soát truyền thông, v.v. Và đó là điều mà thế hệ trẻ mong muốn. Ta hãy nhớ là Orban khi bước vào chính trường đã lập ra đảng FIDESZ, một chính đảng của một nhóm sinh viên bất đồng chính kiến​​. Vì vậy, tôi nghĩ rằng việc bị thách thức bởi thế hệ trẻ, những người đồng cảm nhiều hơn với Péter Magyar, chắc hẳn sẽ là đòn đau với ông ấy. Orban tự nhận mình là người theo tư tưởng bảo thủ, nhưng ông ấy cũng thực sự già nua, nếu xét về mặt thế hệ. Tôi tin rằng đây là một điểm gây phân hóa rất mạnh trong cử tri Hungary ». Orban đả kích Ukraina và Liên Âu, ứng viên đối lập lên án « Nhà nước Mafia » Điều mà nhiều nhà quan sát ghi nhận là các áp phích, khẩu hiệu lên án tổng thống Ukraina, chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu hiện diện khắp nơi tại Hungary trong thời gian tranh cử, nhưng theo chuyên gia quan hệ quốc tế David Cadier, làm việc trong chương trình « An ninh châu Âu » tại IRSEM (Viện nghiên cứu chiến lược Trường Quân sự Paris), vấn đề chống tham nhũng là quan tâm của đông đảo cử tri, bất mãn với chính quyền Orban (trả lời Radio France) :    « Tạm đồng ý là chính sách đối ngoại có vị trí trọng tâm trong cách thức mà các ứng cử viên công kích lẫn nhau. Tuy nhiên, khó có thể nói liệu vấn đề này sẽ có ý nghĩa như thế nào đối với quyết định lựa chọn của cử tri. Theo tôi, mấu chốt của cuộc bầu cử sẽ là tham nhũng. Và đó chính là điểm mà Péter Magyar đang tấn công vào hệ thống của Orban. Có nhiều điều mà ứng cử viên đối lập Péter Magyar không chống lại Orban, đặc biệt là những quan điểm mang tính ý thức hệ. Péter Magyar là một người theo phái hữu bảo thủ như Orban, kể cả về vấn đề viện trợ cho Ukraina. Tuy nhiên, ông ấy lên án Nhà nước Mafia, mà Viktor Orban bị cáo buộc đã thiết lập thông qua một hệ thống phòng chống buôn lậu liên quan đến lĩnh vực năng lượng, v.v.. Vì vậy, theo tôi, chính ở điểm này mà sự khác biệt có thể được tạo ra, và có lẽ điều này sẽ có tầm quan trọng lớn hơn nhiều. » Chế độ chuyên chế dưới vỏ bọc dân chủ hay « Nhà nước Mafia »  Trả lời RFI tiếng Việt, nhà kinh tế học Nguyễn Quang A, người quan sát lâu năm xã hội Hungary, nhấn mạnh đến việc tại Hungary, ngày càng có nhiều người coi hệ thống chính quyền của thủ tướng Orban giống với một « Nhà nước Mafia ». Ông giải thích : « Hungary, Nga và một vài nước thuộc Liên Xô cũ gần với cái chế độ gọi là "chuyên quyền bảo trợ ", có thể gọi một cách dân dã là được đặc trưng bởi Nhà nước Mafia. Nhà nước Mafia (Maffiaállam) là một thuật ngữ do hai ông Magyar Bálint và Madlovics Bálint đặt ra, có một định nghĩa nghiêm túc về mặt học thuật (The Anatomy of Post-Communist Regimes, xuất bản năm 2020). Theo hai học giả này, Nhà nước Mafia là một nhà nước thâu tóm quyền lực về mọi mặt, quyền lực chính trị, quyền lực xã hội, quyền lực kinh tế. Và trong cái phần thâu tóm quyền lực kinh tế này, có một cái khía cạnh là làm giàu cho cá nhân những người nằm trong nhà nước mafia này, mà quan hệ quan trọng nhất là sự trung thành tuyệt đối với ông Trùm. Nhà nước mafia có thể nói là một tổ chức tội phạm mở, công khai, có vẻ ngoài hợp pháp. Tiếng Hung có hai từ, một từ là ''alvilág'' - thế giới ngầm, thế giới của tội phạm hạ lưu, hoàn toàn là ngoài vòng pháp luật như là mafia Ý chẳng hạn. Còn có một từ khác trong tiếng Hung gọi là ''felviág''. ''Felviág'' không phải là ngầm ở bên dưới, bất hợp pháp, mà là nổi lên bên trên, trong giới thượng lưu, với mục tiêu tập trung quyền lực, để thay đổi Hiến pháp, thay đổi các quy định của nhà nước pháp quyền. Cũng là viện công tố, cũng là cơ quan điều tra, cũng là tòa án Hiến pháp, và người bên ngoài, nếu mà quen với các thuật ngữ của phương Tây, thì tưởng rằng cũng hoạt động giống như ở bên Pháp hoặc Đức hoặc các nước Bắc Âu. Nhưng trong các chế độ ''chuyên quyền bảo trợ'', hay là trong ''Nhà nước Mafia'' này, thì thực sự  chúng hoạt động hoàn toàn khác. » Đọc thêm - Tự do báo chí ở Hungary: 500 tờ báo chung một biên tập Nhà nghiên cứu Nguyễn Quang A cho biết thêm, khái niệm Bạch tuộc Hungary lần đầu tiên được Magyar Bálint, cựu bộ trưởng Giáo Dục Hungary (1996 - 1998 và 2002-2006), phát triển trong một bài báo năm 2001 (« Magyar polip – a szervezett felvilág / Bạch tuộc Hungary, một tiểu thế giới có tổ chức », Magyar Hírlap). Magyar Bálint cũng là đồng chủ biên cuốn « Bạch tuộc Hungary – Nhà nước Mafia hậu cộng sản » bằng tiếng Hungary (A Magyar polip – A posztkommunista maffiaállam), xuất bản năm 2013.  Cuối thập niên 1990 đầu 2000, Hungary từng được coi là một ví dụ điển hình về quá trình chuyển đổi dân chủ thành công. Tuy nhiên, những sai lầm trầm trọng của các chính phủ tiền nhiệm, đặc biệt là cánh tả, dẫn đến lạm phát nặng nề, thất nghiệp phổ biến, nợ nần công và tư chồng chất, nhiều bê bối tham nhũng… đã góp phần vào chiến thắng của Orban năm 2010 (giới thiệu về cuốn sách Bạch tuộc Hungary – Nhà nước Mafia hậu cộng sản của Collège de France, năm 2014).  Cuốn « A Concise Field Guide to POST-COMMUNIST REGIMES », của Magyar Bálint và Maldovics Bálint (Nxb Đại học Trung Âu 2022), đã được ông Nguyễn Quang A dịch sang tiếng Việt với nhan đề « Một tóm tắt cô đọng về CÁC CHẾ ĐỘ HẬU-CỘNG SẢN ». Đây là tóm tắt của cuốn « Giải phẫu các Chế độ Hậu-Cộng sản » (The Anatomy of Post-Communist Regimes, dài gần 900 trang) đã giới thiệu ở trên. Orban thao túng bộ máy, nắm gần trọn truyền thông: Nguy cơ bầu cử « bị tước đoạt » Về triển vọng bầu cử Hungary, cho dù không ít người đặt hy vọng vào việc chế độ Orban cáo chung với chiến thắng của đối lập, chuyên gia Steven Forti cảnh báo : « Đúng là các cuộc thăm dò dư luận cho thấy khả năng đảng đối lập Tisza thắng cử là rất cao. Nhưng  chúng ta xem xét trước hết rằng Hungary là một ''chế độ chuyên chế về thông tin'', như nhận định của Peter Kreko, một nhà nghiên cứu chuyên về chính quyền Orban. Truyền thông hoàn toàn bị Orban kiểm soát. Sau đó, nếu chúng ta xem xét rằng các quy tắc của cuộc chơi – về luật bầu cử, hệ thống bầu cử, và nhiều chi tiết nhỏ khác liên quan đến hệ thống bầu cử - đều bị kiểm soát, chẳng hạn như ‘‘gerrymandering'', tức việc các khu vực bầu cử bị chính phủ thay đổi nhiều lần để đảm bảo cho Orban thắng cử. Cá nhân tôi rất hoài nghi, và không cho rằng đảng Tisza có cơ hội chiến thắng trong cuộc bầu cử này. » Trong một bài viết trên Le Monde, nhà nghiên cứu người Hungary Tibor Dessewffy cảnh báo : « Cấu trúc thể chế của Hungary hiện nay cung cấp nhiều công cụ để thực hiện các chiến lược như vậy: một Tòa án Hiến pháp ngoan ngoãn với Orban, đặt những người trung thành ở các vị trí chủ chốt và một hệ thống pháp luật được thiết kế với nhiều cạm bẫy ». Trả lời TV5 Monde về việc liệu thủ tướng Orban có phủ nhận hay không thất bại bầu cử, nếu kịch bản này xảy ra, nhà nghiên cứu David Cadier nhận định : « Có lẽ không trực tiếp, nhưng thay vì phá vỡ các quy tắc, ông ta có thể bẻ cong chúng để phục vụ mục đích riêng của mình. Thủ tướng Orban đã cài cắm nhiều cộng sự thân cận vào ngành tư pháp và truyền thông, vì vậy nhà lãnh đạo Hungary có thể làm chậm lại hoặc phản bác… Nhưng rất khó để dự đoán điều này. Có điều chắc chắn là những cải cách mà Orban đã thực hiện trong 16 năm cầm quyền sẽ rất khó bị đảo ngược trong thời gian ngắn ».

Donald Trump has not been a favorite of university professors or public intellectuals, but he does have a base in some elements of political theory. What are their ideas and did they help bring us Trumpism? Laura Field tracks the intellectual parts of the movement and their relationship to mainstream political figures and activists. From the Claremont Institute to national conservatism, they were born of a deficit in defenses of liberal democracy. But there are many disagreements and odd theoretical turns. It took some opportunistic moments to unite the disparate strands. But these theorists have had a real impact in Republican politics and may shape the future of American government.

In this episode of International Horizons, RBI acting director Eli Karetny sits down with political theorist Laura Field to trace the intellectual currents shaping today's right — from Straussian thought at the Claremont Institute to Catholic integralism, the manosphere, and Trump-era populism. Using Plato's Allegory of the Cave as a touchstone, they interrogate how philosophical radicalism becomes political strategy, why some thinkers return to the “cave” with prudence while others return with authoritarian blueprints, and what these debates mean for American democracy.

Let's talk about Jeremy Carl, Donald Trump's nominee for assistant secretary of state for international organizations, a role that would oversee U.S. policy toward the United Nations and its agencies. Carl, a former Trump administration official and current senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, is facing intense scrutiny over past statements and writings that promote white supremacist, racist, antisemitic, and homophobic views.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit claremontinstitute.substack.comKicking off the Roundtable's premium interview series, our AI chatbot—sorry, host, Spencer Klavan is joined by Claremont Institute president Ryan Williams to discuss the strange symptom of late-stage modernity that is AI maximalism. The technology, which excels as a task manager and mathematician, lacks humanity—consciousness, morality, and soul. But its potential use as a tool to run government may prove painfully seductive to the modern mind, and equally disastrous.

If you have studied what it means to have a Christian worldview or – for that matter – you have just studied the Bible, you know that it all begins with the creation story. “In the beginning, God created.” And if we are made in God's image, that means we are creative, too, and a part of our maturity in Christ is to more fully live into that mandate to be creators. And I don't just mean what some call “creative” professions, such as music, literature, and other arts. I mean woodworkers, homemakers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and plumbers. We are hearing more talk about creativity in recent years. Sometimes it takes the form of organizations committed to Christians and the arts. The Rabbit Room, co-founded by Andrew Peterson is an example. The International Arts Movement, founded by Makoto Fujimura is another. Andy Crouch's work with Praxis also comes to mind. But I have never heard anyone approach this topic in quite the way my guest today, Jim Edwards, has. His book “To Invent is Divine” examines human creativity as it relates to property rights – all within the framework of a Judeo-Christian principles of stewardship and ownership. He looks at America's patent system and how laws protecting intellectual property have encouraged creativity. He is also concerned, however, that those laws are eroding and the principles of intellectual property protection are weakening in an era of artificial intelligence. Jim Edwards has a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee. He has had a long career in public policy and intellectual property consulting. He was a Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute, and in 2017 was honored with the Eagle Award from the Eagle Forum's Education and Legal Defense Fund. I had this conversation with Jim via zoom. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

Realignment Newsletter: https://therealignment.substack.com/Realignment Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignmentEmail the Show: realignmentpod@gmail.comLaura Field, author of Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Laura discuss the intellectual movement behind Trumpism and the rise of the MAGA New Right, the intellectual branches of the movement: the Claremont Institute, Postliberals, and the National Conservatives, how cultural conflict became the engine of New Right movement-building, the future of higher education,  and why the center-left's obsession with "policy" leaves it vulnerable to populist movements with ideas and language that speak to deeper questions of meaning in 21st century America.

Does former CNN host turned independent journalist Don Lemon have a First Amendment right to interfere with the First Amendment rights of the worshipers and pastor at that church? “I think the question answers itself, and the answer is no,” argues Scott Johnson, a Minneapolis-based attorney, Claremont Institute fellow, founding member of Power Line and one of the great minds behind 2004's “Rather Gate”, on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” with Jack Fowler.

Eric and Eliot pay their respects to the late Vice President Dick Cheney before welcoming their guest Laura Field to discuss her book Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right. They explore the origins of the effort to create an intellectual ecosystem for Trumpism starting with the Claremont Institute and Michael Anton's infamous "Flight 93" article in the Claremont Review of Books. Laura explains the influence of philosopher Leo Strauss on these early efforts as well as Strauss's student Harry Jaffa. They discuss the emergence of post-liberalism, Catholic integralism, and the arguments made on behalf of these positions by Patrick Deneen and Adam Vermeule. They also discuss national conservatives, techno-monarchists, and advocates of Red Caesarism like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin. Finally, they touch on the openly theocratic efforts of Christian nationalists to fit into the Trumpist universe, and the overlaps and contradictions among these various Trumpist movements.

Brad Onishi is joined by Dr. Laura Field, author of Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right, for a fascinating look into the intellectual roots of the MAGA movement and its rising political stars, including JD Vance. Together they trace the philosophical and theological threads that tie together the Claremont Institute, National Conservatives, and Postliberal Catholics—three camps shaping the hard right's challenge to American liberalism. From Patrick Deneen's critique of modernity to Adrian Vermeule's “common good constitutionalism,” the discussion unpacks how these thinkers frame a moral and political alternative to liberal democracy, and how their ideas inform Vance's worldview and public persona. The conversation also explores what's at stake when intellectuals try to fuse religion, nationalism, and governance into a single moral vision for America. Brad and Laura discuss the deep cultural anxiety driving this movement, the narratives of victimhood that sustain it, and the potential consequences of replacing pluralism with authoritarian moral certainty. They close with reflections on how to counter these ideas with honest, accessible scholarship and renewed democratic imagination.

Today Razib talks to Ryan P. Williams. He is president of The Claremont Institute, a position he has held since 2017. He is also a contributor to The Claremont Review of Books and started The American Mind. Williams earned a B.A. in political science and Economics from Hillsdale College and an M.A. in politics from Claremont Graduate University. He has taught American politics and political philosophy as an adjunct professor at California State University, San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona. Razib and Williams first discuss the origins of The Claremont Institute and the influence of Harry Jaffa on the think-tank's founding and current thought. They explore the influence of Jaffa's mentor, political philosopher Leo Strauss, upon his worldview, and the differences that define the “west coast Straussianism” associated with the Institute and “east coast Straussianism.” Williams also articulates how the conservative thought of Claremont affiliated scholars and pundits differs from other movements on the right, and in particular, how it is differentiated from both neoconservatism and paleoconservatism. Razib and Williams then go over The American Mind's decision to publish Michael Anton's “flight 93 election” piece, and the connection of many Claremont scholars to the Trump administration and the MAGA movement.

While government has the power to protect our rights, it can use that power to abuse those rights. Especially in those areas of the government which resist accountability to elected officials. The administrative state (or deep state) is a strong focus of the Trump Administration, which has taken action to reinstate accountability in the federal bureaucracy. Ryan Williams, president of the Claremont Institute and friend of Heritage, joined the podcast to talk about what to do when government stops serving the people and targets them instead. —Learn more about the Claremont Institute: https://www.claremont.org/Follow Ryan Williams on X: https://x.com/RpwWilliams—Have thoughts?

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the New York Supreme Court's decision to significantly reduce the judgment against Donald Trump and how it represents a major blow to New York Attorney General Letitia James. He criticizes both James and Judge Arthur Engoron, calling them politically motivated and unprofessional, even referring to Engoron as a "weirdo." Later, Brett dives into what he calls possibly the worst story he’s come across—news that a California resident has contracted the bubonic plague after being bitten by a flea while camping near South Lake Tahoe. The unsettling news. He mocks the idea of returning to “13th-century” problems in 2025 and questions why the plague hasn’t been completely eradicated from the planet. Brett makes it clear he’s not a camper—recalling fewer than four lifetime camping trips—and urges listeners to avoid rodents, fleas, and all things wild. We’re joined by Jeremy Carl from the Claremont Institute to talk about immigration, assimilation, and the future of American identity. A North Carolina native and former senior official at the U.S. Department of the Interior, Carl discusses his recent article The Nation of Theses, which argues that America must return to promoting shared civic values while limiting immigration to manageable levels.

Spencer Klavan is an associate editor at the Claremont Institute, host of the Young Heretics podcast, and a scholar of ancient Greece. His astute political commentary ranges from critiques of the modern Left to philosophical explorations of the ancient world. In this episode, we explore Klavan's latest book, “Light of the Mind, Light of the World,” where he rejects the popular notion that science and religion are incompatible, and instead forecasts a future where scientific discovery leads to a religious resurgence. We also discuss the symbolic relationship between Athens and Jerusalem, as well as the religious observations of great scientists like Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. - - -  Today's Sponsors: PDS Debt - PDS Debt is offering a free debt analysis.
