Podcasts about Conservatism

This week's horrific assassination should serve as a cathartic moment for conservatives. However, if we continue this disconnect between digital rhetoric and actual policy accomplishments, nothing will change. We must decide once and for all if we are a movement or an industry – if we will elevate monetizing TikTokers or intrepid statesmen? I list a series of 15 policy issues where the online Right claims to be emphatically on one side, but its organizations, candidates, and often Trump himself are actually on the other side. We are all decrying social media's influence on people like the Charlie Kirk murder suspect, but then why are the same politicians promoting AI data centers? Why is the Trump administration illegally keeping TikTok online? We keep ignoring primaries and elevating the same candidates who accomplish the exact opposite of the Twitter rhetoric!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Since the start of the Trump Era over a decade ago, few words have been deployed as often as "democracy": how it's become imperiled, who threatens it, and what to do to defend it. In The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding, Osita Nwanevu sets out to understand the true meaning of democracy and defend it from its critics, not just on the right but those liberals who doubt the capacity of ordinary voters to determine their country's fate in a complex world. From there, he levels a critique of the Constitution for its myriad democratic deficits, then details what refounding the United States to be genuinely democratic—politically and economically—would require of us.Listen again: "The Wolfe in the White Suit" (w/ Osita Nwanevu), July 5, 2024Sources:Osita Nwanevu, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding (2025)— "Conservatism's Baton Twirler," New York Review of Books, Sept 25, 2025. Sheldon Wolin, Fugitive Democracy: And Other Essays (2016)Michael J.

In this Episode, I remember a fascinating young man whose life was cut short to an assassin's bullet in Utah. Charlie Kirk led a younger generation back towards morality and truth with his college campus tours which took him across America to spread Conservatism and Christian beliefs. He wasn't a politician or in Gov't but still the centre piece and pulse of the younger branch of the Republican Party. On September 10th, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed leaving behind his wife and two children. His haters celebrated. The Mainstream Media politicized his death while his supporters and followers were left in shock.

On this episode, Josh takes a hard look at the conservative movement—what's being done to make it real in America today, and what it will take to deliver lasting conservative policy. He pushes back on the calls to release more of the Jeffrey Epstein "files," arguing why Republicans should be wary of the motives behind this push. Josh also dives into America's relationship with Israel and exposes the faction within the so-called "Right" that seems determined to drive a wedge between Jews and Christians.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Another great day, week, month for Conservatism as we watch Democrats implode. Democrats didn't gain a single advantage, as we continued to expose their treachery.How much border talk have we had? Practically none. Because that problem has been solved. And now we are in the next phases of this, as illegals continue to leave, while those who remain are being hunted by ICE. You ever notice Democrats get real emotional when criminals get deported? Like, they'll cry harder over a thug being sent back to Honduras than when one of their own constituents gets mugged in broad daylight. That's where we are, folks. Democrats are now running interference for ICE targets, demanding that America keep the worst of the worst because, apparently, violent offenders are the last reliable Democrat voting bloc. That's like inviting the guy who robbed your house to move into your guest room because “he deserves another chance.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Progressive elites have captured nearly every major American institution, replacing faith and tradition with secular humanism and a new “woke” religion that seeks to erase God and silence dissent. In this powerful conversation, Professor Nicholas Giordano speaks with Harvard Professor Emeritus Dr. Richard Kradin about his new book, A Godless Crusade: The Progressive Campaign to Rid the World of Religion. Together, they uncover how cultural Marxism evolved into today's woke crusade, why the Judeo-Christian ethic is under relentless attack, and what it means for America's future if faith and morality are driven from the public square. Episode Highlights How secular humanism became the foundation of today's culture wars. Why “wokism” operates as a secular religion determined to replace God. What Americans can do to defend their faith, values, and traditions.

I love being in the position of winning, daily. I know that no matter what, Conservatism is winning over the next 3+ years. It's because of our belief and support of Trump. So I catalog his wins. They are wins for all. I'm not gloating necessarily to the Left. Because when we win, they win.But I do want them to change. I want them to see the error of their ways, again…not as a goody-two-shoes, but in a hope that they don't remain stupid their whole lives…What will we leave for our kids? Something better than social securityPeople will want to go to work.We are inspirational to the Left.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Few forerunners of the modern conservative movement are as important, little known, and underappreciated as Frank Meyer.  Meyer possessed the IT factor that made women want him and men want to be associated with him.  He used that in his early years to advance Marxism in England—building an impressive Marxist organization that had the attention of UK's government, dating the Prime Minister's daughter while calling for the violent overthrow of the Prime Minister's government, and becoming a national celebrity as the nation debated whether he should be exiled.  But later in life, when he turned to the Right, that same charisma was used to help William F. Buckley build a fledgling conservative movement that ultimately changed the politics of the nation.   Joining Josh to discuss this most remarkable life is Daniel J. Flynn, author of his latest book: The Man Who Invented Conservatism: The Unlikely Life of Frank S. Meyer.   About Daniel J. Flynn From spectator.org Daniel J. Flynn, a senior editor of The American Spectator, serves as a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution for the 2024-2025 academic year. His books include Cult City: Harvey Milk, Jim Jones, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco (ISI Books, 2018), Blue Collar Intellectuals: When the Enlightened and the Everyman Elevated America (ISI Books, 2011), A Conservative History of the American Left (Crown Forum, 2008), and Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas (Crown Forum, 2004). In 2025, he releases his magnum opus, The Man Who Invented Conservatism: The Unlikely Life of Frank S. Meyer. He splits time between city Massachusetts and cabin Vermont.    About The Book Frank Meyer devised the blueprint for American conservatism—fusionism—championed by Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and so many to this day. Yet long before and far away, Communists in London chanted “Free Frank Meyer!” to block the deportation of a comrade who was their cause célèbre. Those fervent Marxists could never have predicted that their hero would one day provide the intellectual energy necessary to propel conservatives to political power.    The Man Who Invented Conservatism unveils one of the twentieth century's great untold stories: a Communist turned conservative, an antiwar activist turned soldier, and a free-love enthusiast turned family man whose big idea captured the American Right. This intellectual migration coincided with a clandestine affair inside 10 Downing Street, service as a lieutenant to the man who later constructed the Berlin Wall, and neighborly chats with the pop-star and poet celebrity next door. Present at the creation of National Review, Meyer helped launch Joan Didion's writing career. From H. G. Wells to Henry Kissinger to Milton Friedman, he rubbed shoulders with everyone who mattered.   Having discovered Meyer's previously unexamined correspondence in an old soda warehouse, Daniel J. Flynn documents this saga in The Man Who Invented Conservatism, exposing the rivalries, jealousies, friendships, and fights that shaped the movement and what it means to be a conservative today.  

Professor Kozlowski invites the wrath of the Internet by proposing to discuss Conservatism. To do that, we'll explore the history of conservative thinking (and American Conservatism in particular) from Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France and Romanticism (including Nietzsche's perspective in On the Genealogy of Morals), to the 20th and 21st centuries. We'll touch on major developments throughout history, including the New Deal, the Cold War, the Civil Rights movement, the Christian Evangelical Right, and Neoconservatism (including Irving Kristol's "The Neoconservative Persuasion), all the way up to the MAGA movement and Project 2025. It's a massive lecture for a massive topic, but how else were we going to introduce the 20th century?Besides the required readings linked above, the 20th century lectures will include many more additional readings. For our Conservatism discussion, they include:Nietzsche - Thus Spake ZarathustraSpencer - The Study of SociologyTagore - NationalismStelzer - The NeoCon ReaderWallace - Consider the LobsterPeterson - 12 Rules for LifeSandifer - Neoreaction: A BasiliskInnuendo Studios - The Alt-Right PlaybookContrapoints - CONSPIRACYRand - Atlas ShruggedHeinlein - The Moon is a Harsh MistressInvasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)BioshockCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007)Spec Ops: The Line - good luck finding it!If you are incensed by this lecture and would like to vandalize Professor Kozlowski's other Internet projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

President Donald Trump's administration is full of sycophants. That was made quite apparent this week (if it wasn't already) during a three-hour-long televised Cabinet meeting. The lengthy meeting allowed for department secretaries to sing their lord and savior's praises while the world watched on. The excessive fawning over the dear leader would raise more suspicions if it were taking place literally anywhere else. But it's happening in the United States. And we are in trouble. We spoke with Bill Kristol, editor at large for The Bulwark, to find out what we can do to meet the challenge of the moment.And in headlines: the Department of Homeland Security now prohibits state agencies and volunteer groups from receiving federal funds if they help undocumented immigrants, an alleged sandwich thrower dodged federal charges, and the Food and Drug Administration approved updated Covid-19 vaccines.Show Notes:Check out Bill's piece – https://tinyurl.com/2ynd2f8vWatch Favs sandwich guy interview – https://tinyurl.com/aaf4ajh3Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Devoted Know Your Enemy listeners will recall that, in November 2021, we released a fairly dense, theory-driven episode on Frank Meyer, the Communist from New Jersey whose exploits on behalf of the Party in the UK got him kicked out of the country and back to the United States, where he eventually turned right and became a key figure in the post-war U.S. conservative movement, both as an editor at National Review and an architect of institutions like the American Conservative Union, Young Americans for Freedom, and the Conservative Party of New York. Of course, we had more to say about Meyer, and we're devoting another episode to him, this time focused on the details of his incredible life, thanks to the publication of an extraordinary new biography of Meyer, Daniel J. Flynn's The Man Who Invented Conservatism: The Unlikely Life of Frank S. Meyer. Flynn discovered a trove of never-before-seen papers of Meyer's that range from personal documents (tax returns, Christmas cards from Joan Didion, his dance card from college) to his correspondence with nearly every conservative writer and intellectual of note in the 1950s and 60s. Armed with these files, Flynn offers a vivid portrait of a brilliant, eccentric political life and mind.Listen again: "Frank Meyer: Father of Fusionism" (November 10, 2021)Sources:Daniel J.

https://www.cultivatingself.org/reclaiminghealthcarefellowship https://debunkedbynature.com/pre-order https://www.eatyourhealings.com/ Today, we're joined by Mollie Engelhart, a chef, author, and regenerative rancher who has lived through a profound ideological shift. As a lifelong liberal and celebrated vegan chef, Mollie believed she was doing her part for the environment. But her journey from a Los Angeles restaurateur to a farmer on Sovereignty Ranch taught her that nature has its own truths. Mollie's new book, "Debunked by Nature," shares her story of confronting uncomfortable realities on the farm—realities that challenged her long-held beliefs about food, soil, and society. Her work in regenerative farming isn't just about cultivating healthy land; it's about building a resilient future. Through community stewardship, she demonstrates that true change comes from the ground up, not from the top down. This conversation will explore how Mollie's experiences have redefined her relationship with political activism, leading her to question partisanship and advocate for a "radical centrist" approach. We'll delve into how reconnecting with the earth can lead to a new understanding of our place in the world and a fresh perspective on what it means to create a more sovereign, resilient future for all.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Daniel J. Flynn, author of The Man Who Invented Conservatism, to explore the remarkable journey of Frank Meyer. Meyer is the communist-turned-conservative who shaped the intellectual foundation of the American Right. We discuss Meyer's dramatic transformation, the birth of fusionism, and what his story reveals about the state of conservatism today. Is the movement still anchored in limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility, or has it lost its way? Episode Highlights The extraordinary life of Frank Meyer: from Marxist revolutionary to the architect of modern conservatism. How Meyer's philosophy of “fusionism” united libertarians and traditionalists and whether it still resonates in today's fractured conservative movement. The current strength of conservatism: Do today's leaders still stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty?

Christian thought has long been intertwined with political life in America, and churches have long played a central role in civic life and in social movements. Groups like Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition were essential to conservative victories, both at the ballot box and in policy during the '80s and the '90s. And sometimes we' even hear the term "evangelical" used synonymously to mean conservative or Republican, whether rightly or wrongly. In this episode, Peter explores where the Christian community fits on the right side of the ideological spectrum as part of the "What is the Right?" series. Joining him are Ralph Reed and Mark Tooley. Ralph Reed leads the Faith and Freedom Coalition, formed in 2009 to educate and mobilize people of faith to advance pro-family and pro-freedom policies. Ralph is also chairman and CEO of public affairs firm Century Strategies. Mark Tooley is the president of Institute on Religion and Democracy, an ecumenical think tank that aims to rally Christians to advance biblical historical Christianity and affirm its role in democratic society.

Upon hearing of Gerry Spence's passing away at 96 years old this week, we remembered this conversation from deep in the archives, with the trial attorney and bestselling author on his book "Bloodthirsty Bitches and Pious Pimps of Power: The Rise and Risks of the New Conservative Hate Culture." Gerry Spence takes dead aim at the media demagogues who wield their power with virulent effect: The likes of Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Bill O'Reilly and others - who occupy the bully pulpit of the "new American hate culture" - TV and radio programs shaping opinions of millions of Americans. Original air date 12 October 2006. The book was published on 3 October 2006.

In this week's episode of then & now, LCHP Assistant Director Dr. Rose Campbell is joined by historian Dr. Neil J. Young to examine the evolution and ongoing influence of conservative Christian family values in contemporary U.S. political discourse. Neil offers a nuanced account of how ideals such as monogamy, cisgender heterosexual marriage, and rigid gender roles within a patriarchal framework became central both to conservative grassroots activism and to the ideological messaging of the Trump presidency and its supporters.Drawing on the intersecting histories of religious and political movements in modern America, Neil traces the crystallization of the so-called “Christian nation” narrative to the Cold War era and the emergence of the ecumenical movement, a collective effort by various denominations toward unity and social engagement. Despite the ecumenical movement's intended progressivism, it inadvertently prompted conservative backlash, resulting in a “religious right” coalition. Looking ahead, Neil notes increased uncertainty regarding the durability of the Trump-evangelical coalition. As the Trump campaign intensifies its deployment of culture war rhetoric—framing contemporary politics as an existential struggle to preserve embattled Christian values—the question remains whether these strategies will sustain coalition cohesion, or whether shifting social and political dynamics will prompt fragmentation. Neil J. Young is an award-winning historian, writer, podcaster, and author of Coming Out Republican: A History of the Gay Right (The University of Chicago Press, 2024). Neil holds an A.B. from Duke University and a Ph.D. in history from Columbia University. Neil formerly served as a contributing columnist for The Week and, before that, an opinion columnist for HuffPost. He writes frequently for leading publications, including the Washington Post, the Atlantic, CNN, the Los Angeles Times, Vox, Politico, Slate, and the New York Times.

The John Birch Society isn't very well know these days but at one point in U.S. history they claimed to have over a hundred thousand members. On the one hand they sought out to expose the communist agenda and sparked the modern day "conspiracy theories" about a one world government, etc. So who are The John Birch Society, what are their goals and who is John Birch?  We look into all things Birch Society on this weeks episode.Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

Our summer series on "What Is the Right?" has explored the many ideological camps that make up the Right today, from libertarians and traditionalists to fusionists and "FreeCons." In this episode, we explore the intersection of the Jewish faith with conservative thought. Today, antisemitism is on the rise, Israel is at war, and U.S. Republicans are thinking through what an America-First foreign policy should look like. By stepping back and getting a bird's-eye view of how the Jewish community interacts with conservative movement, the contributions of Jewish thought to Western Civilization, and the work Jewish nonprofits are doing, we hope to have a better sense of where to go from here. Two of the thinkers and leaders best positioned to speak to the Jewish conservative intersection are Tevi Troy and Jonathan Silver, who join Peter for this episode. Tevi Troy is a senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute, a Senior Scholar at Yeshiva University's Straus Center, and a former Deputy Secretary of HHS and senior White House aide. Jonathan Silver is the Chief Programming Officer of Tikvah, the editor of Mosaic, and the Warren R. Stern Senior Fellow of Jewish Civilization.
