Podcasts about Conservatism

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.

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.

When the Conservative Party last entered government, in coalition with the Liberal Democrats, the UK was still finding its feet after the global financial crisis. What followed was a succession of events that quickly came to dominate political life: Brexit, the pandemic, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.Each of these moments demanded large, costly interventions from the state. But Britain now faces a new set of challenges: an ageing population, a fresh industrial revolution driven by AI, growing global security risks, and the pressures of a changing climate.John Penrose is the founder of the Centre for Small Conservatives. A former Conservative MP, he joins Marc Sidwell to discuss why he's arguing for moving beyond rhetoric and towards serious, practical policy ideas — ones he believes can deliver tangible results in the real world.Guest: John Penrose, former MP and founder of the Centre for Small State ConservativesStay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

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. Finally, he scrutinizes Hollywood's desperation for relevance, branding the recent Grammys as the 'Scammys,' pointing out that celebrity politics are more about staying in the spotlight than genuine activism.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck digs into the political fallout surrounding Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and a Trump White House that remains intensely reactive to public opinion. While Noem keeps her job—for now—new polling paints a bleak picture for both her and the administration, with Trump’s economic numbers underwater, disapproval near all-time highs, and even his own base increasingly uneasy with ICE’s aggressive tactics. Chuck unpacks why Noem’s performative politics may make her expendable, why Miller is untouchable as Trump’s “bizarro Dick Cheney,” and how Trump’s inner circle is once again showing signs of instability as voters question whether the president is focused on the issues that actually matter. The conversation then zooms out to a broader diagnosis of America’s democratic dysfunction, drawing on Chuck’s recent campus speech about why this moment feels uniquely unstable. From razor-thin modern elections and the collapse of congressional responsibility to unsettling parallels with 19th-century politics, Chuck argues that the presidency has become overly powerful because Congress has failed to govern. Fixing what’s broken, he warns, won’t come from political elites—it will require engaged citizens, serious institutional reform, and possibly constitutional amendments to rebuild a government voters have been loudly signaling they no longer trust. Then, author and writer for The New Yorker, Jason Zengerle joins the Chuck ToddCast for a deep dive into his book “Hated By All The Right People” about Tucker Carlson’s rise—and why he’s become the clearest avatar for the unraveling of modern American conservatism. The conversation traces how Carlson’s personal history, elite upbringing paired with outsider grievance, and long-running resentments toward figures like Bill Kristol helped shape a worldview centered on anger, masculinity, and cultural backlash. Though he styles himself as anti-establishment, Tucker remains very much a Washington insider, increasingly influential even after leaving Fox News and emerging as the true heir to Rush Limbaugh, with real political impact on figures like J.D. Vance. Chuck and Zengerle also explore how Trump subsumed conservatism, why Tucker may be the figure best positioned to keep Trumpism alive after Trump, and how white male grievance now sits at the core of conservative cultural politics. From the Iraq War’s role in Carlson’s ideological shift to his calculated positioning on Israel, media, and elite power, the episode asks what “real America” conservatism even means anymore—and whether there’s any path back for Never Trumpers, institutional Republicans, or business leaders who’ve bent the knee to a movement that no longer resembles the party they once knew. Finally, Chuck answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and expands on his Hall of Fame rant in light of Bill Belichick not getting in on the first ballot.

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.
