Podcasts about Conservatism

In the decades following World War II, the American right coalesced around fusionism — the idea that individual liberty and limited government could coexist with religious faith and traditional morality. Today, that coalition is divided. After a decade of Trump-era politics, can fusionism bring it back together?Host Megan McArdle is joined by Stephanie Slade, senior editor at Reason magazine and author of “Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right.” They explore how fusionism came to shape modern conservatism, why that consensus faded and how President Donald Trump's rise reveals the coalition's deepest fault lines. They also ask whether fusionism's core values of liberty and virtue can still provide common ground in a very different political era.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Bruce Pardy is professor of law at Queen's University, senior fellow with the Fraser Institute and author of the book, Articles of Freedom. David M. Haskell is a professor of Sociology of Religion at Wilfred Laurier University, senior fellow at the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy and author of the book, Christ or Collapse. They debate a system of constitutional freedom vs Christian conservatism. Bruce argues on behalf of maximal individual liberty and David argues for a return to classical conservatism governed by Christian morality.Read Bruce's book, Articles of Freedom:https://a.co/d/034gHtQuRead David's book, Christ or Collapse:https://a.co/d/0jj2Hy66Follow Bruce on X:https://x.com/PardyBruceFollow David on X:https://x.com/DMillardHaskellFollow Brave New Normal on X, Substack and YouTube:https://linktr.ee/bnnpod This is a public episode.

Ich beschäftige mich gerade intensiver mit einer Frage, die im Kern unserer Gesellschaft liegt: was sind Prinzipien des Engineerings von komplexen Systemen, also, was sind elementare und wiederkehrende Aspekte, Prozesse, Verhaltensweisen, denen man begegnet, wenn man versucht komplexe technische Systeme zu bauen, zu warten oder abzulösen und durch neue zu ersetzen. Die Frage nach dem Begriff der Ordnung ist darin eine fundamentale, wenn man komplexe Systeme in einem bestimmten definierten — also ordentlichen — Zustand halten möchte — etwa durch Wartungsmaßnahmen — oder verändern möchte, das heißt von einem Zustand der Ordnung in einen anderen Zustand der Ordnung bringen. Zu verstehen, was Ordnung ist, ist eine Grundlage jedes Engineering und jedes Managementprozesses. Auch jede politische Transformation ist davon abhängig diese Prinzipien im Blick zu haben. Und daher besprechen wir heute sozusagen die Grundlagen dieser Prozesse, die darauf aufbauen. Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, was Ordnung ist, hat aber auch zwei weitere Aspekte Es handelt sich um einen der Begriffe, den wir sofort für offensichtlich halten — you know it, when you see it, aber sobald man beginnt zu versuchen, Ordnung zu definieren, merkt man, wie schwierig das ist. Experiment: drücken Sie den Pause-Knopf und überlegen Sie für sich selbst, wie Sie Ordnung definieren würden. Damit wird diese Auseinandersetzung mit der »Ordnung« einerseits ein Thema, das in sich selbst hochinteressant ist, weil wir ihm ständig ausgesetzt sind aber andererseits auch eine Fallstudie, wenn Sie so wollen, für ein größeres Thema, das ich in einer späteren Episode noch aufgreifen werde. Ich beginne mit der Frage nach den Regimen oder Arten der Ordnung. Dabei ist für unseren Zweck natürlich die selbsterhaltende, dynamische Ordnung komplexer Systeme am interessantesten: »Einfache Ordnung lässt sich definieren, komplexe Ordnung muss erzählt werden.« Aber auch ein vermeintlich banales Beispiel, nämlich, wie die Zahl Pi zu verorten ist, stellt sich als deutlich interessanter und herausfordernder dar, als man erwarten könnte. Auch sehe ich zahlreiche Parallelen zwischen biologischer, also evolutionär getriebener Ordnung und dem Engineering in modernen Techno-sozialen Systemen. »Evolution kann somit als Prozess gesehen werden, durch den ein äußeres Kriterium zu innerer Form wird.« Dann gehe ich kurz auf die Idee der Redundanz als Definition von Ordnung ein, wie von Rupert Riedl vorgeschlagen, sowie auf vergleichbare Ideen der algorithmischen Informationstheorie. Ordnung = Regel × Anwendung Was sind Vorteile und Grenzen dieser Art der Definition? Dann weise ich darauf hin, dass Information und Ordnung keinesfalls miteinander verwechselt werden dürfen, dass es aber wesentliche Abhängigkeiten voneinander gibt und zitiere dazu Michael Polanyi. »DNA configuration, [it] can function as a code only if its order is not due to the forces of potential energy. It must be as physically indeterminate as the sequence of words is on a printed page.«, Michael Polanyi (1968)  Dann betrachte ich den Begriff der Ordnung aus einem anderen Blickwinkel und frage, welche Schichten der Ordnung man identifizieren kann und wie das mit dem bisher gesagten in Einklang zu bringen ist: Redundanz — Regel mal Anwendung Constraint — eliminierte Freiheitsgrade Interdependenz — nichts lässt sich verschieben, ohne dass das Ganze verliert.  Passung — Passung ist der Anteil der Einschränkungen eines Systems, zu denen sich eine Unterscheidung in seiner Umwelt benennen lässt. Passung ist dabei ein ganz wesentliches Prinzip, wenn es um das Verständnis komplexer Systeme geht. Dann versuche ich die Folgen dieser Prinzipien am Beispiel komplexer technischer Systeme, wie Software, darzulegen. Welche wesentlichen Einschränkungen gibt es bei solchen Systemen: Problemgetragene Einschränkungen Geschichtsgetragene Einschränkungen Was bedeutet dies konkret und wie ist dies in der Praxis zu bewerten und damit umzugehen? Wenn es Ordnung gibt, dann muss es auch Unordnung, beziehungsweise Kräfte und Pfade der Unordnung geben. Welche sind die? »Conservatism starts from a sentiment that all mature people can readily share: the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created.«, Roger Scruton Dann »zeichne« ich ein Bild der Inseln der Ordnung im Meer des Chaos um greifbarer zu machen, was es bedeutet, wenn man Systeme nicht mehr evolutionär weiterentwickeln kann, sondern von eine komplexen und dynamisch stabilisierten Zustand der Ordnung in einen anderen wechseln möchte. Zuletzt mache ich noch auf ein Konzept von Stuart Kauffman aufmerksam: Die »Grenze des Chaos« (edge of chaos) beschreibt einen kritischen Bereich zwischen starrer Ordnung und völligem Chaos. Seine These lautet nicht, dass dynamisch stabilisierte Ordnung, wie Leben, im Chaos gedeiht, sondern dass anpassungsfähige und evolvierende Systeme nahe dieser Grenze besonders leistungsfähig sind. Was geschieht, wenn es zu viel Ordnung in Systemen gibt? Zu viel Chaos? Was bedeutet dies für Engineering, Innovation und Politik? Haben wir nun eine präzise Definition von Ordnung? Ehrlich gesagt, bezweifle ich das. Ich denke, ich konnte einige relevante Faktoren — Rahmenbedingungen vielleicht — darlegen und wir haben damit das Problem der Ordnung umkreist. Der Versuch zur Definition erweist sich als Weg, der in immer neue Verstrickungen führt. Ich glaube, wir haben ein besseres Verständnis des Problems, wenngleich, oder gerade auch weil wir es nicht präzise definieren konnten. Aber das ist exakt der Meta-Punkt auf den ich kommen wollte und den ich zu Beginn angesprochen habe. Ich lasse das als Cliffhanger stehen und werde in einer zukünftigen Episode darauf zurückkommen.

Falemos de cancelamentos. Há o do rapper despedido da tournée de um cantor britânico por ter gritado “Palestina Livre!” E há o que o presidente da Câmara de Lisboa quer promover para evitar a balbúrdia nos caixotes do lixo na cidade por causa dos dez cêntimos das embalagens para reciclar. Ou seja, um nada tem a ver com o outro, o que demonstra que a palavra ‘cancelamento’ é um chapéu para muitas ocasiões diferentes. Para que serve a franqueza em política se só os chalupas dizem ao que vêm? Há novos partidos políticos no horizonte e cada um mais particular que o outro. Todos em busca de um nicho eleitoral sem representação, porque em tempo de fragmentação há nichos que continuam por preencher. Donald Trump, entretanto, contrariado pelos juízes que ele próprio escolheu para o Supremo Tribunal, pôs em prática a segregação jornalística; de ora avante, há orgãos de comunicação social relevantes que perdem o acesso à Casa Branca. No meio de tudo isto, lá se foi a comissão de inquérito à Judiciára. Talvez o Chega volte a ela, mas para já é só intenção; e de boas intenções., já se sabe…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can conservatives promote the "common good" and public virtue using the power of government?This will be our last new pop quiz before the start of Season 10 in a few short weeks. We hope you've enjoyed these quizzes as much as we've enjoyed having these conversations!

Reason magazine Senior Editor Stephanie Slade joins me to discuss her new book, Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue and the Future of the American Right, and one of the biggest philosophical fights happening inside American conservatism. Slade makes the case for fusionism, the marriage of individual liberty, limited government and free markets with the Judeo-Christian tradition of moral virtue, while examining the rise of postliberalism and a more power-oriented right associated with figures including Donald Trump and JD Vance. We get into whether conservatives can use government power to impose good outcomes without eventually handing those same weapons to their political opponents, what happened to the old coalition of libertarians, social conservatives and fiscal conservatives, and whether liberty and virtue still have a future together on the American Right.SPONSOR:Pre-order your copy of Cancel‑Proof Christianity by Dr. Bobby Lopez today and anchor your faith in a bold new Christian ecosystem that refuses to bow to cancellation, trusts in the sovereignty of truth, and builds a resilient community rooted in the Gospel! https://www.gatekeepersonline.com/product-page/cancel-proof-christianity-by-robert-lopez-phdBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

Todd examines why democratic socialism appeals to some younger Americans and argues that frustration over housing, college costs, and inflation is being misdirected at capitalism and the nation's founding principles. He responds to a viral clip in which a woman says she instantly hated a respected coworker after learning he was conservative, using it to explore political tribalism, ideological caricatures, and the difference between education and understanding. Todd calls on Americans to explain opposing ideas honestly, defend constitutional liberty, and reject hatred based solely on political labels.

Text the show! Should conservatives support banning marijuana — or regulate it the same way we regulate alcohol?In this Freedom Friday episode of Common Sense, Chad takes the strongest arguments against marijuana seriously: today's dramatically higher THC potency, addiction and daily use, risks to young people, and the consequences of legalization.Then he asks the question the prohibition argument has trouble answering: If alcohol and tobacco remain legal despite enormous documented harms, why does THC require a ban?Chad breaks down the strongest case for marijuana prohibition — and explains why he believes the evidence actually points toward regulation.Along the way: the alcohol consistency test, the difference between legalization and decriminalization, why excessive cannabis taxes can reactivate the black market prohibition created, the federal government's medical-marijuana contradiction, and the Texas rules that can turn a THC gummy into a felony while small amounts of marijuana flower remain a misdemeanor.This isn't an argument that marijuana is harmless.It's an argument that proving harm and proving the need for prohibition are two very different things.CHAPTERS00:00 Conservatives Want to Ban Weed?01:12 The Strongest Case Against Marijuana05:15 The Potency Problem — and the Obvious Fix09:01 The Alcohol Test12:44 When Does Government Get to Decide?15:19 Legalization vs. Prohibition: What Actually Works?18:59 The Medical Marijuana Contradiction22:51 Regulate THC Like Alcohol25:17 The Conservative Case for FreedomProtect kids.

I jumped on for a bonus live stream because this couldn't wait. A clip of JD Vance at the RJC is circulating, he's asked about Tucker Carlson and his answer is that we should be able to remain friends with people we have political disagreements with. I have a problem with that framing. The objections to Tucker are not political disagreements. We're not arguing about tax rates or military policy. We're talking about lying, simping for Putin, calling Hamas a political organization, smearing Ben Shapiro as a dual-loyalty Jew who can't be trusted, Holocaust revisionism, confusing an entire generation about who the good guys are. Those are ethical disagreements. Behavioral disagreements. And framing them as simply political is either deeply confused or a deliberate dodge. I also get into what happens to a movement when it refuses to draw ideological borders, look at what happened to the left and the rise of the DSA. Conservatism means conserving something. You can't do that while giving cover to the people actively working to destroy it. This one had to come out.

Hour 1 of the Thursday Bob Rose Show for 9-10-26, on the somber one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Some plant the seeds of ideas that inspire others. Charlie is remembered for watering the seeds that grew a youth movement, adding motivated Christians and voters that carried Pres. Trump back to the White House. Plus, all of the morning's biggest news stories

King Solomon had unmatched wealth, 3,000 proverbs, and all the pleasures mortality could buy—yet in the end, he wrestled with the haunting realization that worldly pursuits are nothing but "vanity of vanities." If you've ever felt cynical, burned out by work, or wondered where true purpose is found, the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament holds the eternal answers you need. Summary: In this episode, we study Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon, examining the contrast between the actionable principles of Proverbs and the raw, existential realism of Ecclesiastes. Moving through practical daily adages, profound philosophical dilemmas, and ancient love poetry, we uncover what it truly means to "get wisdom" and build a life anchored in God. The Foundation of Knowledge: We analyze Proverbs 1–3, learning why the "fear of the Lord" is the true starting point of understanding, and what it means to trust God rather than leaning on our own limited perspective. Personified Wisdom: We explore the voice of "Mother Wisdom" (Sophia) in Proverbs 8–9, discovering her premortal presence alongside the Creator and her open invitation to feast at her table. The Strength of Womanhood: We deconstruct Proverbs 31, moving past cultural stereotypes to celebrate a woman of strength, entrepreneurship, wisdom, and charity who honors the Lord. The Preacher's Crisis: We walk through the "scriptural pessimism" of Ecclesiastes 1–11, testing pleasure, wealth, popularity, and intellectual accomplishment to see why none of them can satisfy the eternal soul. A Time for Every Purpose: We study the rhythmic seasons of life in Ecclesiastes 3, finding peace in the Swedish concept of lagom ("just the right amount") and learning to do our daily homework while leaving the exam grades to God. The Whole Duty of Man: We arrive at the climax of Ecclesiastes 12:13—"Fear God, and keep his commandments"—and discover how the Song of Solomon points our deepest devotions toward the pure love of Jesus Christ. Call-to-Action: In Proverbs 3:5–6, we are invited to acknowledge God in all our ways so He can direct our paths.

In the opening segment of The Charlie James Show on September 8, 2026, host Charlie James discusses local South Carolina politics and rising economic concerns. The segment opens with a call from Dan in Anderson regarding controversial advertisements about open versus closed primary elections in South Carolina, leading Charlie to emphasize the strong historical voter support for closed primaries. Callers also discuss rising gas prices, reaching over $4.00 per gallon, debating the underlying supply chain costs and political implications leading up to the midterms. The segment concludes with Charlie reflecting on the difference between being a "producer" versus a "consumer" of conservatism in modern political culture.

In recent weeks conservative social media has been aflurry debating that nebulous phrase, the Common Good. Does the New Right have a monopoly on the concept of the common good? If we can agree on the common good, does that alone grant us the political authority to impose it? What is the relationship between liberty and the common good?

Live Aug 23, 2026(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 11)Patrick Deneen & The Post Liberal Right | Yaron & Nikos DialoguesPatrick Deneen says liberalism failed because it succeeded — freedom gave people too much of it, and now he wants a new elite to rule in the name of the "common good." Is that a critique of the West, or the oldest excuse for tyranny wearing a Notre Dame faculty badge?Patrick Deneen says America needs "regime change" — not at the ballot box, but a quiet takeover by a new elite who'll rule for the "common good" instead of individual rights. He calls it postliberalism. Yaron Brook calls it what it actually is: aristocracy with a syllabus.Deneen's bestselling books — Why Liberalism Failed and Regime Change — have become the intellectual bible of the post-liberal right, blurbed by Obama, quoted by JD Vance, cited by the "common good conservatives" reshaping the GOP. His argument: individual freedom itself is the disease. The cure is a ruling class willing to override your choices for the sake of the collective.In this episode of Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos take Deneen's ideas apart line by line — where "common good" politics actually leads, why every attack on individualism ends up defending the same thing (power over you), and why the post-liberal right and the woke left are closer than either side wants to admit. If you've heard people say liberalism "went too far," this episode explains exactly what they mean — and why they're wrong.Main Topics: 00:00 — Cold open: what "regime change" actually means in Deneen's own words 06:30 — Who is Patrick Deneen, and why did Obama put him on a reading list? 15:00 — "Liberalism failed because it succeeded" — unpacking the core claim 26:00 — The "common good" con: how collectivism always smuggles itself in through a nice-sounding phrase 38:00 — Aristopopulism: Deneen's plan for a new elite to rule over the "many" 50:00 — Is this Catholic integralism with a populist paint job? 1:02:00 — Where the post-liberal right and the woke left secretly agreeLive Audience Questions: 1:14:00 — Is Deneen just describing real problems badly, or is his solution the actual danger? 1:20:30 — Does JD Vance actually believe this stuff, or is he just borrowing the vocabulary? 1:27:00 — Can a "new elite" ever rule for anyone but itself? 1:34:00 — Is national conservatism just socialism with incense and a flag? 1:41:00 — What's the actual liberal (classical) answer to the loneliness and rootlessness Deneen describes?

What happens when an entire generation stops trusting the institutions that shaped their parents? Steve Deace joins the Give Me Liberty podcast to discuss the growing divide between older and younger conservatives, the future of the pro-life movement, the rise of political and cultural dissidence, and the challenge facing young Christians who have learned to question everything but aren't always sure where to find the truth. Deace argues that the younger generation has good reason to distrust the institutions that have repeatedly failed them—but skepticism alone isn't enough. Christians aren't called simply to deconstruct the world around them. They're called to pursue truth.At the center of that mission is the Church. Deace argues that pastors don't need to become political activists. They need to preach the whole counsel of God without editing it for cultural comfort. When Christians are faithfully discipled by Scripture, they develop the worldview necessary to engage politics, culture, and society without being discipled by the culture itself.The conversation also explores the generational divide over abortion, the political calculations surrounding the pro-life movement, the legacy of the Boomer generation, the dangers of nihilistic dissidence, and why the next generation must learn not only how to challenge institutions, but how to govern when they finally catch the car.

Are the Democratic Socialists of America hiding their true agenda? From praising China's authoritarian model to openly targeting the U.S. Constitution, hear the jaw-dropping statements straight from leadership! Plus, why is a broke Democratic Party pouring a million dollars into taking down conservative fighter Ralph Norman? We break down the massive stakes, secret political agendas, and left-wing backing behind this critical primary race!

There has been a schism in the Catholic church. In early July, Pope Leo excommunicated an ultra-conservative sect known as the Society of St. Pius X, after they ordained new Bishops against his orders. It's the largest break in the church in 156 years. With its members and followers, Leo has effectively kicked out 600,000 Catholics-- a tough move by the still new Leo, who has made church unity a central theme of his pontificate.   Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Dr. Catherine Foisy, a professor of Christianity at the University of Quebec in Montreal about why the Pope made the move, what it says about the state of the Catholic Church, and what it says about how Pope Leo is approaching this geopolitical moment.  We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Live Aug 8, 2026(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 9)In the Mind of JD Vance | Yaron & Nikos DialoguesIs JD Vance the future of American conservatism — or is he Elizabeth Warren with a rosary?JD Vance calls himself a defender of capitalism. He talks about "robber barons," praises union power, campaigns for Viktor Orbán's crony state in Hungary, and once said UFOs might be demons. Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos spend this episode taking Vance's own words apart — the Rogan interview, the "Christian political economy," the Iran deal he ran point on — to answer one question: what does JD Vance actually believe, and is it conservatism at all, or socialism wearing a cross? Tune in as Yaron and Nikos go inside the ideas driving the man most likely to be the next face of the Republican Party, and they don't pull punches.

Sen. Ron Johnson joins The Tudor Dixon Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on the newly released Fauci files, the origins of COVID-19, government transparency, and the growing influence of socialist candidates in American politics. Johnson discusses what he believes the Fauci diaries reveal about the lab leak theory, gain-of-function research, pandemic lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures, and the federal government's COVID response. He also explains why he believes Americans deserve greater accountability and why Congress must continue investigating what happened during the pandemic. The conversation also turns to the political landscape in Michigan and Wisconsin, where Dixon and Johnson discuss the rise of openly socialist candidates, higher education, media influence, and the future of the Democratic Party heading into the 2026 elections. If you're interested in COVID investigations, Anthony Fauci, the lab leak debate, government accountability, socialism, or the future of American politics, this is an episode you won't want to miss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Q&A Friday, Todd answers a foundational question: What are the five core beliefs of conservatism? He explains why individual liberty, limited government, free markets and private property, constitutional government and the rule of law, and traditional values and strong communities belong at the heart of conservative political thought. Todd contrasts those principles with socialism, communism, and the growing demand for government control, arguing that America's Founders understood both human nature and the danger of unchecked power. He also discusses the difference between a constitutional republic and pure democracy, why rights come from God rather than government, and why faith, family, churches, and local organizations are essential to a free society.

Is the MAGA media machine actually cracking up, or is it just taking a summer nap? Jared and Mike sift through new data reporting from The New York Times, and a truly staggering amount of cringe, to find out. View counts are dropping, engagement is cratering, and people are getting "the ick" from influencers like Benny Johnson.Amid this MAGA content recession, one unusual newcomer is growing her audience: self-styled "American Sweetheart" Savanna Cannon. First covered in The Bulwark, Cannon is producing racist Instagram content in apparent hopes of converting horny MAGA men into OnlyFans simps who will pay to watch her do anal.MAGA has also taken aim at rap music, claiming without evidence that the genre only succeeded in pop culture because of funding from since-shuttered USAID programs. If not for this secret USAID scheme, they suggest, maybe we'd all be line-dancing to country tunes right now. Imagine that!Links to stories referenced:The MAGA Media Machine Is Fracturing (Stuart A.
