Podcasts about Conservatism

Liberty doesn't sustain itself—and the Constitution alone isn't enough to preserve it. In this episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd explores why a free society depends on informed, engaged, and responsible citizens. From the dangers of passive information consumption and cultural distraction to the rise of tribal thinking fueled by algorithms, Todd breaks down how modern habits are weakening civic awareness. He also shares personal insights on the role of solitude, critical thinking, and truth-seeking in shaping a political framework rooted in first principles. If we want to preserve freedom for the next generation, it starts with understanding, engagement, and a commitment to truth.

In Conservatism, Past and Present: A Philosophical Introduction (Routledge, 2025), Tristan J. Rogers argues that philosophical conservatism is a coherent and compelling set of historically rooted ideas about conserving and promoting the human good. Part I, “Conservatism Past,” presents a history of conservative ideas, exploring themes, such as the search for wisdom, the limits of philosophy, reform in preference to revolution, the relationship between authority and freedom, and liberty as a living tradition. Major figures include Aristotle, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Edmund Burke, G.W.F. Hegel, and Roger Scruton. Part II, “Conservatism Present,” applies philosophical conservatism to contemporary conservative politics, focusing on issues such as nationalism, populism, the family, education, and responsibility. Rogers shows that conservatism has been defined differently at different times: as a loose set of connected ideas reacting against the French Revolution; as a kind of disposition or instinct in favor of the status quo; and more recently as any ideas opposed to the political left. But he also allows a set of questions to guide his argument for conservatism's merits: What is conservatism? Is it a coherent and attractive philosophy? What are conservatives for? And how is today's conservatism related to its past? In his answers, Rogers paints a compelling and coherent picture of an aligned and attractive set of ideas. Dr. Tristan J. Rogers teaches Logic and Latin at Donum Dei Classical Academy in San Francisco, CA. He has also taught philosophy at Santa Clara University, the University of Colorado Boulder, and the University of California, Davis. He is the author of The Authority of Virtue: Institutions and Character in the Good Society (2020). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

What happens when flawed human beings are given unlimited power? In this episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd continues his foundational series on political philosophy by asking a critical question: Who should hold power—and how much should they have?Todd explains why the Founding Fathers built a system designed to restrain government, rooted in a realistic understanding of human nature. From biblical insights about sin to historical examples of tyranny, he explores why good intentions aren't enough to build good systems. The discussion also touches on communism's fatal flaw, the myth of the “benevolent dictator,” and why political debates should focus on outcomes—not motives.If you want to understand the deeper ideas behind conservatism, this conversation lays the groundwork.

Six years ago this week, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic — and within days, America shut down. Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson mark the anniversary with a candid conversation about why the biggest policy event of a generation has been largely memory-holed, and why that's dangerous. Iowa, under Governor Kim Reynolds, was among the best-managed states in the country — but the national reckoning on government overreach, civil liberties violations, and accountability for public health officials has never arrived. Worse, the trillions in federal stimulus spending that followed are still rippling through Iowa's fiscal reality today in the form of inflation and a strained state budget.The Iowa Revenue Estimating Conference released its March forecast this week, and the numbers tell an important story. Iowa's FY2026 general fund revenues are projected at $8.111 billion — down 9.3% from the prior year, with the current year revised down an additional $46 million from December due to federal tax changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The good news: Moody's and Fitch both reaffirmed Iowa's Triple-A credit rating, citing conservative budgeting and a strong fiscal foundation built over years of disciplined leadership. Revenue is projected to recover in FY2027 ($8.499B, +4.2%) and FY2028 ($8.717B, +2.9%) — and Iowa's 2018 sales tax base broadening, which doesn't get nearly enough credit, is showing up as a stabilizing force in the state's revenue mix right now.Not all the fiscal news is smooth. Iowa faces a $78 million Medicaid shortfall for FY2026 and a projected $200 million deficit for FY2027. Chris and John break down why Medicaid and education spending are the warning flags even the credit rating agencies are flagging, and why holding the line on spending discipline is the only path that keeps Iowa's landmark tax reforms intact. As Director Paulsen made clear: Iowa has the reserves to manage through this — but only if the legislature stays the course.Today is also the final deadline for Iowa candidates to file petitions for the June 2 primary, and ITR Live is tracking the field in real time. From the governor's race to legislative seats, Chris gives a live rundown of what to watch — including one Republican congressional candidate who dropped out this week. John also teases a new debate posted at ITRFoundation.org: a back-and-forth on "What is Conservatism?" that's worth your time. Subscribe to ITR Live on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts — and share the show with someone who wants Iowa's most informed conservative commentary.0:00 - Welcome & Intro1:27 - Trivia: The Irish Confederate "Stonewall of the West"5:50 - COVID at 6 Years: The Reckoning America Isn't Having10:22 - Iowa vs. the Nation: How Reynolds Got It Right11:00 - COVID's Lasting Damage: Schools, Mental Health & Inflation14:16 - Stimulus Spending, Overreach & the Accountability Nobody Wants16:30 - March REC Forecast: Breaking Down Iowa's Revenue Numbers19:23 - Moody's & Fitch Reaffirm Iowa's Triple-A Credit Rating21:29 - Iowa's Medicaid Problem: $78M Now, $200M Coming in FY2723:47 - The 2018 Tax Reform Nobody Talks About (But Should)26:36 - First Look at FY2028 Revenue Projections30:21 - Iowa Candidate Filing Deadline: Who's In, Who's Out32:25 - New: The Conservatism Debate at ITRFoundation.org33:14 - Outro

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into a hidden, long-term operation reshaping American conservatism from the inside out.For decades, evangelical Protestant Christians—representing about 30% of the U.S. electorate and powering the Republican base with biblical conviction, church networks, and strong support for Israel—have been the driving force of the conservative movement.But what if that foundation is being deliberately fractured? Not through policy debates, but through theological demoralization, generational recruitment, and institutional capture. The endgame: a transformed Republican Party with a different spiritual core—one no longer tied to evangelical covenant theology or the Judeo-Christian framework.In this episode I expose the main influences behind it and arming you with the truth to stand against it.Support The Doron Keidar Podcast on Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/cryforzionnLinks:https://x.com/defiyantlyfree/status/2029681200189636717?s=46&t=DsKQM-Q8hjCQT4Ma94n-xghttps://www.highonthehar.com/patchhttps://www.justinhughesart.com/product-page/mighty-men-patchhttps://www.cryforzion.com/#podcast #israel #BreakingIsraelNews #DoronKeidar #TheDoronKeidarPodcast #Temple #Tucker 

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes Elizabeth Dionne, a relentless reformer, attorney, and former chair of the Belmont Select Board with proven leadership, financial, and legal expertise. Elizabeth is running for Massachusetts State Treasurer, bringing a history of fiscal responsibility, having delivered balanced municipal budgets and never relying on reserve funds. As a mother of four and a decades-long resident of Massachusetts, Elizabeth is focused on restoring fiscal sanity and advocating for efficient, taxpayer-centered governance. She is widely recognized for working across the aisle, championing transparency, and prioritizing common sense in public service. This episode dives into the urgent issues facing Massachusetts, highlighting controversial and neglected realities, including unchecked government spending, cronyism, insider deals, and an overwhelming exodus of taxpayers and young talent driven by high costs. Elizabeth explains how, over years of one-party Democratic rule, waste, graft, and benefit fraud have flourished while essential state agencies—like the Lottery and the School Building Authority—are riddled with inefficiency and patronage hires. She exposes staggering mismanagement under the current treasurer, the misuse of funds for personal vendettas, and runaway costs in programs meant to support local communities and frontline services. Elizabeth lays out her plan for regular audits, whistleblower protection, and transparency, calling on voters to make 2026 the year Massachusetts reclaims responsible government. The conversation features a call to action for voters to prioritize local elections, push back against the status quo, and demand leadership that values every tax dollar. “I am taking no industry money. If you look at her donations, a lot of industry money. The people who are coming before her, the people she’s regulating, she’s taking money from. That’s corrupt.” ~Elizabeth Dionne This week on Political Contessa: Massachusetts’ unchecked government spending and the urgent need for audits The impact of one-party rule, cronyism, and benefit fraud on state finances Mismanagement and patronage hires undermining the Massachusetts Lottery How runaway costs in the School Building Authority neglect needy students The exodus of taxpayers and young talent from Massachusetts Exploding benefit rolls and the strain on the state’s tax base The $33 billion deficit threatening public pensions and fiscal stability A concrete plan for whistleblower protection, transparency, and fiscal reform Connect with Elizabeth Dionne: Elizabeth Dionne campaign website Resources mentioned: Massachusetts State Retirement Board Massachusetts School Building Authority Star Market app (for coupon savings, an example of personal fiscal discipline) Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

What does conservatism mean in an age of populism, executive power, and institutional distrust? Yuval Levin is a political theorist, the director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and the author of American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again. Today he argues that the deepest divide in American politics is no longer left versus right, but populism versus institutions. Levin traces the shift within the conservative movement from an emphasis on morality and constitutional limits to a more confrontational style of politics, and he explains why durable reform requires coalition building, legislation, and respect for procedure. He reflects on his time in the Bush administration, the limits of presidential governance, the fight over universities, the coming politics of AI, and why the Constitution was designed to hold a divided nation together.

In need of some good ol' fashioned conservative inside baseball, Jonah Goldberg turns to the only man he can: Richard Reinsch. Jonah and Richard dive deep into GOP history, examining how the Nixon era serves as a prism through which we can view the MAGA moment, before debunking the recent “white-culture” phenomenon and arguing for a conservatism built on the Declaration of Independence's immortal words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”Shownotes:—Reinsch in Commentary: “Against Grievance Politics”—Richard M. Reinsch II Civitas Institute profile—Whittaker Chambers: The Spirit of a Counterrevolutionary—Ross Douthat's arguments about the future of conservatism—Jonah's G-File response to Douthat—Jonah's G-File on white culture and right-wing identitarianism—Oren Cass in the New York Times—Kevin Williamson for The Dispatch: “The Not-So-Obvious Price of Trump's Trade Incoherence”—Kesler - Crisis of the Two Constitutions: The Rise, Decline, and Recovery of American Greatness—Huntington - Who Are We?

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, I dive into the hot topic of Sunday liquor sales in Mississippi. Kingfish over at jacksonjambalaya.com has a story up about it—will we finally be able to buy wine and liquor on Sundays? It's been banned since booze was legalized back in 1966, but the House passed HB672 last week to allow it, and now it's up to the Senate. I'm kinda indifferent, honestly—some liquor stores say they don't want it because it might not boost sales, just spread 'em out thinner, hurting those big Friday and Saturday stockpiles for the weekend. They'd have to pay extra staff, and not every spot would benefit.   But here's my take: let's do it. Places that don't wanna open don't have to—stand on your principles, I respect that. I've wanted a bottle on a Sunday during football season plenty of times and didn't have one, probably for the best. I'm all for ditching these blue laws and letting the market decide. You don't want liquor on Sunday? Don't buy it. You can already get it at restaurants or bars on Sundays anyway—it never made sense that stores couldn't. Same with closing times: why force stores to shut early when bars stay open? I'm not saying bars should close early either, just pointing out the inconsistency.   If I were a state rep or senator, I'd vote yes—I'm about freedom and less government red tape, like a true conservative should be. Conservatism ain't always bible-thumping restrictions; it's the opposite—less meddling. What do y'all think? Should stores open Sundays or stay closed? Hit me up, I'd love your thoughts.

Chad Law Exposes the Truth: Marriage Equality, Trump's Tariffs & The Scammy GrammysIn this episode, Chad Law, America's self-proclaimed 'binary brother' and 'gayest conservative,' dives deep into today's pressing topics. He tackles the divisive issue of marriage equality, condemning religious groups attempting to reverse it under a guise of conservatism, arguing instead for a conservatism rooted in freedom and limiting government influence. Chad also delves into the recently released Epstein files, claiming they expose more about elitism and Democratic figures than about Trump.

There is an odd vibe flowing through the conservative movement at events like America Fest, the annual strokefest produced by Turning Point USA. The presentation is a combination of professional wrestling mixed with a religious revival at a Megachurch. It is a very well-produced version of Conservatism, delivered by recognizable, but recently augmented, faces who do not pose any real threat to the system.Real questions are being asked about the background of Erika Kirk. Her ties to a Romanian children's charity, trafficking operations to the UK & Israel via American military bases, and recently unearthed CIA training videos on EMPs featuring a young Erika Frantzve. Was Erika a torpedo sent to destroy the America First movement from within?—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilySign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emailsActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsAnarchapulco: https://anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://groundluxe.com/MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

Get your tickets for Dissident Dialogues HERE : https://dissidentdialogues.org/In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Conservative MP and political reformer Danny Kruger for a wide-ranging conversation on civil service reform, Christianity, nationalism, and the future of British democracy.We discuss Kruger's critique of Blairism, the expansion of the administrative state, and why he believes Britain is no longer governed by Parliament, but by an unaccountable alliance of civil servants, judges, and quasi-independent institutions. He explains how depoliticisation, judicial activism, and the rise of quangos have hollowed out democratic accountability.The conversation explores Kruger's philosophy of conservatism rooted in family, community, and nation, his defence of civic rather than ethnic nationalism, and his argument that Britain remains a fundamentally Christian civilisation, even as faith has been pushed out of public life. We debate immigration, integration, multiculturalism, and whether British identity can survive rapid demographic and cultural change.We also examine plans to reform the civil service, the House of Lords, and the judiciary, including restoring parliamentary sovereignty, repealing the Human Rights Act, and confronting institutional resistance to democratic mandates.A searching and provocative conversation about power, faith, reform, and whether Britain can recover its constitutional foundations before social and political breakdown accelerates.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:38 What Is “Krugerism” 05:13 Conservatism vs Progressive Modernity07:22 Individualism, God & the Crisis of Meaning11:07 Is Britain Still a Christian Country?14:18 Reform UK vs Wet Toryism17:04 Recovering a Lost Constitution18:40 When Things Started Going Wrong21:09 Civic Nationalism vs Ethnic Nationalism29:35 Immigration, Integration & British Identity32:03 Christianity, Freedom & Social Cohesion35:00 Birth Rates, Family Breakdown & Demography39:24 Islam, Integration & the Limits of Tolerance47:47 Citizen Service & Rebuilding Local Democracy52:17 Taking on the Blob: Civil Service, Courts & Power Hosted on Acast.

Stefan Molyneux explores how genetics shape political views, drawing on r-selected and K-selected reproductive strategies to illustrate differences between liberalism and conservatism. He explains their impact on human actions and social systems, connecting brain areas like the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex to these inclinations. Molyneux contends that inherited traits drive social results, with shifts in surroundings bolstering r-selected behaviors and influencing politics and leadership.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

WESTCHESTER AND THE AMERICANIZATION OF JUDAISM Colleague Josh Hammer. Growing up in a secular Jewish environment, dropping out of Hebrew school, and the later discovery of conservatism and Edmund Burke leading to religious observance. NUMBER 21936 RAMALLAH

What do America and Israel share other, other than shared values and a strategic alliance against the forces of tyranny? Try: declarations of independence and a celebration of individual rights that have stood the test of time (nearly 250 years for the US, nearly 80 years for Israel). Peter Berkowitz, the Hoover Institution's Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow and a celebrated constitutional scholar and lecturer, discusses what he witnessed fresh off a visit to the Middle East. Among the topics discussed: Israel at a crossroads in 2026 (peace in Gaza, perhaps another strike against Iran, a national election later this year) and its evolution as a free society versus where America currently stands. Berkowitz also reflects on his participation in the first Trump Administration State Department's Commission on Unalienable Rights, building off what Thomas Jefferson penned back in 1776, plus the “Varieties of Conservatism in America” course he teaches as part of Stanford University's Civics initiative and how it pertains to the competition (1776 and independence vs. 1619 and the introduction of slavery) to influence America's origins to younger generations. Recorded on January 5, 2026. 

In this episode of Finding Freedom, John Odermatt welcomes Brian O'Leary, the voice and pen behind The O'Leary Review, for a deep dive into the intersection of power, justice, and trust in today's institutions. The conversation explores Brian's journey from aspiring sports journalist to independent commentator, highlighting the evolution of his writing and podcasting. Together, they examine the decline of trust in media and the persistent influence of legacy narratives, using the Jerry Sandusky case as a focal point. Brian shares insights on the challenges of independent media, the importance of questioning accepted stories, and the cultural shifts impacting sports and politics. The discussion also touches on the role of community, the value of honest discourse, and the ongoing struggle to find truth in a polarized landscape. Listeners will gain a nuanced perspective on how media narratives are shaped and why skepticism is more important than ever.
