The hosts amplify intense conservative panic and backlash surrounding the newly unsealed U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Pointing to blisters of criticism from *The New York Post* and *National Review*, the segment dissects leaked terms indicating the U.S. will prematurely lift its naval blockade, hand control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran, and permit un-sanctioned oil sales—all just to secure a 60-day window of technical talks. Citing a warning from General Jack Keane, the show disputes Trump and JD Vance's assertions that the arrangement protects against nuclear expansion, arguing instead that the absolute capitulation strips the U.S. and Israel of all geopolitical leverage.

UK needs a a strong liberal voice in the south to counter the predictable catastrophe of Farage and Reform In his latest Lowdown podcast, Nick Cohen talks to historian and author James Hawes about parallels between current political developments and fascist movements in the 1930s and 1970s. James compares Elon Musk's influence to that of Alfred Hugenberg in 1930s Germany, noting how both used media control to promote extreme right-wing parties. Nick and James discuss conservative establishment figures like Michael Grade at Ofcom were failing to enforce impartiality laws, how the government was unwilling to act against platforms promoting insurrection, and how the right-wing media landscape had shifted dramatically since the days when Enoch Powell was rejected by the Conservative Party. Hawes emphasises the need for a united liberal democratic front to oppose far-right parties like Farage's, warning that the first-past-the-post electoral system could allow Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister with less than a third of the vote if the left remained split. They conclude with calls for a "popular front" similar to those that successfully opposed fascists in the past, with both hosts expressing optimism that such a coalition could still be formed. The UK desperately needs a strong Liberal voice in the south to prevent Farage inflicting his second catastrophe on the UK after Brexit - a Reform government with the inevitable division, economic misery and national failure that would guarantee.Read all about it!

“Individualism regards man—every man—as an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life, a right derived from his nature as a rational being. Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful coexistence among men, can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of individual rights—and that a group, as such, has no rights other than the individual rights of its members.” - Ayn RandCollectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group . . . and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force—and statism has always been the political corollary of collectivism.Collectivism holds that, in human affairs, the collective—society, the community, the nation, the proletariat, the race, etc.—is the unit of reality and the standard of value. On this view, the individual has reality only as part of the group, and value only insofar as he serves it.No masters above, no slaves below.“Do not make the mistake of the ignorant who think that an individualist is a man who says: ‘I'll do as I please at everybody else's expense.' An individualist… recognizes the inalienable individual rights of man—his own and those of others.” He says: “I will not run anyone's life—nor let anyone run mine.”The human mind is individual. Thinking, production, and values are individual acts. But this enables superior cooperation: trade, contracts, friendship, and civil society based on consent, not sacrifice or tribal mandate. Civilization is “the progress toward a society of privacy… the process of setting man free from men.” Forced tribal/public existence is the mark of regression.Voluntary Association Creates Real CohesionAlexis de Tocqueville observed in Democracy in America that individualistic America thrived precisely because of its “art of association.” Free, independent people form churches, businesses, charities, militias, and communities far more dynamically than top-down collectives. In democratic (individualist-leaning) societies, citizens learn to cooperate voluntarily because no one can coerce them—creating genuine social capital, not resentful obedience.‘cohesive' collectivism demands sacrifice to the group, which atomizes people morally by pitting them against their own self-interest and reason. True individualism unites us through voluntary trade, rights, and shared values of productivity and freedom, the exact foundation that made the West superior and attractive. Collectivist cultures conquer when we abandon our principles, not when we uphold them. History's winners are the societies that freed the individual mind. Let's defend that, not imitate our enemies' weaknesses. This is a public episode.

Pull up a chair and pour yourself a drink! For the third installment in our occasional series on important conservative books, or important books written by or embraced by conservatives, we take up Leo Strauss's Natural Right and History, based on his 1949 Walgreen Lectures at the University of Chicago (where he taught for two decades) and published in 1953. To help us, we called on our friend Matt Dinan, a political theorist who's associate professor in the Great Books Program at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick, Canada. If you've listened to previous episodes and wanted us to go deeper on Leo Strauss, the German-Jewish political philosopher who came to the United States after fleeing Nazism, "Straussianism," and what they might have to do with American conservatism and our present political moment, here you go. After offering some background on Strauss and the context of Natural Right and History's publication, we discuss Strauss's patriotic appeal to Americans in the book's introduction, walk listeners through the chapters that follow (explaining what "natural right" is and why it's paired with "history" in the title along the way), and close out by exploring Strauss's ambiguous relationship to American conservatism—and more! Sources: Leo Strauss, Natural Right and History (1953) — On Tyranny (1963) — Spinoza's Critique of Religion (1965) Harry V.

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
In 1976 historian George H. Nash wrote The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945, a celebrated historical accounting that established much of the narrative for how we think about the development of modern conservatism even today. But much has changed since the seventies. What can the history of conservatism tell us about this present moment, and what can it tell us about where things may be heading? Dr. Nash joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis to unravel the past, present, and future of conservatism in the United States. About George H. Nash George H. Nash is the epitome of a gentleman and a scholar. A graduate from Amherst College who received his Ph.D. in History from Harvard University, Dr. Nash is an authority on the histories of American conservatism and the life of President Herbert Hoover. Dr. Nash is an independent scholar, historian, and lecturer. He speaks and writes frequently about the history and present direction of American conservatism, the life of Herbert Hoover, the legacy of Ronald Reagan, the education of the Founding Fathers, and other subjects. His writings have appeared in the American Spectator, Claremont Review of Books, Intercollegiate Review, Modern Age, National Review, New York Times Book Review, Policy Review, University Bookman, Wall Street Journal, and many other publications. He has lectured at the Library of Congress; the National Archives; the Herbert Hoover, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson presidential libraries; the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum; the Hoover Institution; the Heritage Foundation; the McConnell Center; and at various universities and conferences in the United States and Europe. Several of his lectures have been featured on C-SPAN. He has also been interviewed by C-SPAN, National Public Radio, numerous radio stations, and the print media. Dr. Nash lives in Massachusetts.
Authoritarianism is gaining ground in democracies around the world—often with populist, nativist rhetoric. In the United States, this trend threatens to demolish democratic government. And shifts in American foreign policy are also uprooting the previous world order around the globe.

William Kristol is editor-at-large at The Bulwark and cohost of the podcast Conversations with Bill Kristol. He's also a senior fellow with the Charles F. Kettering Foundation.

In this episode, I reflect on Cormac McCarthy's dark and haunting vision of the world through the lens of a recent Substack essay on his “gnostic conservatism.” Rather than treating McCarthy as a political writer in any simple sense, I explore his deeper existential concerns: violence, fate, evil, tenderness, and the fragile mystery of goodness in a fallen world.I think about Blood Meridian, No Country for Old Men, and The Road as works that refuse easy optimism while still leaving room for something like hope. McCarthy's world is often brutal, cold, and morally terrifying, but again and again there is also the image of fire: something fragile, humane, and sacred that must be carried even when there is no guarantee it will prevail.This episode is about darkness without despair, hope without sentimentality, and what it means to keep carrying the fire.
Welcome back, folks. I leave for a little while and the whole country turns into a yard sale run by raccoons with government grants. I step away to “recharge,” and suddenly America's got flaming cities, illiterate graduates, Google Maps running witness protection for burned neighborhoods, and Democrats trying to hide their catastrophes. But don't worry. During my absence, with the help of a few friends, I solved the world's problems. Completely solved them. Wrapped it up like leftovers at Thanksgiving. Turns out the answer was sitting right there the whole time.Dump Leftists.That's it. That's the cure. Not a committee. Not a blue-ribbon panel. Not another trillion-dollar infrastructure bill where somehow only the “consultants” get infrastructure. Just dump Leftists.Because here's the thing nobody wants to admit out loud: Leftism never voluntarily dies. It survives like glitter in carpet. You think it's gone, then six years later you find a pronoun in your vacuum cleaner.And I'm not talking about liberals from thirty years ago. Those people argued taxes and foreign policy. Today's Leftism is a traveling circus run by emotionally unstable former hall monitors. These people looked at every functioning institution in America and said, “What if we made it weaker, uglier, and sexually confusing?”And they did it.Now, there are two ways to defeat Leftism.The easy way is economic starvation. Stop feeding it. Stop funding the universities that hate your guts. Stop buying products from companies that think your daughter needs three therapists and a gender consultant before algebra class. Stop subsidizing people who openly despise the nation that made their nonsense possible.No revenue. Let it collapse under the weight of its own vegan poetry slam.The hard way? Make Leftists watch Conservatism succeed.That's the cruelest punishment imaginable for them. They cannot stand happy, functional people. A conservative family barbecue is like holy water on a demon. Kids laughing, meat on the grill, dads fixing things voluntarily, nobody screaming about colonialism near the potato salad. It terrifies them.Because Conservatives commit the unforgivable sin in modern America: we enjoy reality.Meanwhile Leftists are permanently angry at gravity, biology, merit, math, and sunlight.Speaking of math, let's go to academia.

Todd explains why that promise ignores economic reality and contradicts the principles America was founded upon. Todd breaks down the dangers of socialism, the role of government, free markets, taxation, and why history repeatedly proves that centralized control fails. Plus, discussion on the modern food industry, personal responsibility, RFK Jr.'s push for healthier food standards, and Ronald Reagan's famous warning about government power. A deep dive into liberty, economics, and the growing push toward government dependency.

Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson examines transgender identity and politics through the lens of American liberalism, arguing that anti-transgender politics cannot be understood by analyzing conservatism alone. She traces the emergence of transgender identity from middle-class cross-dressing cultures, the development of transgender medicine, and the class tensions surrounding transition. Gill-Peterson connects this history to U.S. v. Skrmetti, the vulnerability of transition-related health care, and what she describes as liberal discomfort with dysphoria and changing sex. She calls for a politics centered on defending transsexual people and a right to transition. Series: "UC Berkeley Graduate Lectures" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 41447]

Daryl Cooper, better known as MartyrMade, is one of the most provocative and original voices in independent media. Known for his massive deep-dive podcast series on some of history's most contested events, Daryl has been praised for his empathy-driven approach to history and criticized for being willing to go where most historians won't.In this conversation, we're setting aside the controversy and asking a different question: What should Christian conservatism actually look like? We'll explore Daryl's faith journey, how being a Christian shapes the way he approaches history and politics, and whether the American right has lost its soul in the process of winning the culture war. We'll also dig into libertarianism: what does it get right, where does it fall short, and is it sufficient as a political framework for Christians?This is a good-faith conversation between two people who agree on more than you might expect, and disagree in ways worth hearing.
