In 1951, a 25-year-old oil heir with an unplaceable accent declared war on Yale University — and modern American conservatism was born.On this WhoWhatWhy podcast, Sam Tanenhaus, former editor of The New York Times Book Review and the author of Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America, talks to me about his monumental 1,000+ page biography of Buckley, a project 30 years in the making.We constantly ask how did we get here? How did the Republican Party transform into MAGA? The answer lies with Buckley — he was the engine that drove this evolution.William F. Buckley Jr. understood what few politicians grasped: Politics was becoming theater, and ideological battles would be won on cultural battlefields.Through meticulous research, including previously unknown family archives, Tanenhaus reveals how Buckley became the original conservative-coalition builder — simultaneously maintaining elite respectability while appealing to grassroots activists.

The German Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has been classified as extreme-right by the country's intelligence agency. This will allow for closer surveillance of the party - and potentially even a total ban. We hear from the party's deputy leader who calls the decision ‘totalitarian'.Also on the programme: The crew of a boat transporting aid to Gaza claims it was attacked by drones in international waters near Malta, and; Prince Harry tells the BBC that his father King Charles won't speak to him because of a dispute over who should pay for his security.(Supporters of the Eurosceptic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party wear morph suits and wave flags during an event to rally support for Sunday's European Parliament elections at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin May 23, 2014.

Richie McGinniss discussed his book "Riot Diet" and its sequel, which covers protests from Kenosha to January 6. He highlighted the shift in political paradigms, noting that while BLM protests were largely peaceful, recent protests against Tesla dealerships were more violent. McGinniss criticized the media's role in polarizing issues and emphasized the impact of social media algorithms on public perception. He also discussed the influence of special interests on politics, the rise of Trump, and the societal challenges faced by children from single-parent households, linking these to increased mental health issues and political unrest. The conversation between Richie McGinniss and Chuck Shute delves into the societal impacts of social media, the role of protests and media in shaping public perception, and the political dynamics of recent years. They discuss the influence of figures like Trump and Musk, the complexities of the BLM movement, and the challenges of bridging political divides. McGinniss shares insights from his book, highlighting the experiences of both left and right-wing individuals during protests. They also touch on the evolving nature of political parties and the importance of open-minded dialogue. The discussion concludes with hopes for a more unified and constructive approach to societal issues.0:00:00 - Intro0:00:21 - Riot Diet 1 & 2 0:01:03 - The Tesla Riots0:02:03 - Funding & Organizing Protests 0:03:12 - WTO Protests, Free Trade & Paradigm Shift 0:10:02 - Left & Right Switching Philosophies 0:13:05 - Counterculture & Silicon Valley 0:15:05 - Having Conversations & Political Participation 0:17:30 - Reinventing Platforms & Shrinking Middle Class 0:21:00 - Definition of Freedom & Extreme Right & Left 0:25:25 - White Supremacy, BLM & Race Relations 0:34:41 - Politicians Raising Money & Lobbies 0:37:30 - Motivation for Doctors, Healthcare & Covid 0:40:01 - Vaccines, Lockdowns & Perceptions0:41:30 - Red & Blue & Tribal Identity 0:43:02 - Media Bias, Hunter Biden Laptop & Trump0:48:33 - Extremes, Pejoratives, Algorithms & Media 0:51:15 - Kyle Rittenhouse is Not a Hero or White Supremacist 0:57:20 - Root Causes, Personal Happiness, & Social Media 1:07:03 - Protests, Media Narrative & Schmoozers 1:10:43 - Narrative of BLM Protests Vs.

This week, we're continuing last week's footnote on the postwar ultraright. How did the fall of the Soviet Union affect the anti-communist focus of the extreme right? How has its rhetoric been shaped by an odd relationship with the left? And how does modern extreme rightism manifest in the ideas of men like Kobayashi Yoshinori and groups like Nippon Kaigi? Show notes here.
This week's footnote: the first of two parts on the postwar extreme right. This week, we're mostly focusing on the extreme right in the first few decades of the Cold War, and in particular on the story of Akao Bin and his Aikokuto. How did a convicted socialist end up as one of Japan's foremost violent anticommunists--and how did his ideas shape a new reality for the postwar right? Show notes here.
Language can feel like a battlefield with words meaning different things to different people. Words such as "woke," "freedom," and even "taxes" have fraught definitions depending on whom you ask. Carol Off, former host of CBC Radio's "As it Happens," writes about all this in her new book: "At a Loss for Words: Conversation in an Age of Rage." She joins Steve Paikin to discuss her insights on the meaning behind six words. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Robert Hilliard has worn many hats over the course of his life. Born in 1925, Hilliard served as a soldier in World War II. Since then, he's been a journalist, educator, author, playwright, and humanitarian activist. He lives in Southwest Florida these days and is a member of the nonpartisan nonprofit Floridians for Democracy. At the age of 99 and having lived the life he's lived, we invited him back into the studio to reflect on the place we find ourselves politically in this country. And get his take on what he calls open fascism in the modern political right, with the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 being a prime example.
In this imperfectly perfect conversation, I talk with Dr Ash Brockwell who is Associate Professor and Problem-Based Learning Lead at London Interdisciplinary School (LIS) We start with Ash's journey into education. He is an interdisciplinary educator, writer, and consultant. He holds an MBiochem degree in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry from the University of Oxford, an MSc in Environmental Anthropology from the University of Kent, and a PhD in Education for Sustainability from Wageningen University and Research Centre in The Netherlands. We also discussed belonging and othering and the rise of the Extreme Right in Europe. Finally we talked about Ash's latest book and the language we use to talk about us humans as not separate from nature and that we are all inter and intra connected. And so much more... I loved every minute of this dialogue and I invite you to listen in. I am sure you won't regret it.

28th January 2024 recorded live at Zimmer48, with Izzy and Dan plus two guest hosts: Maria Debinska, a research fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry in Berlin and Megan Whittington of German news in English podcast Megan's Megacan. Support Radio Spaetkauf: https://www.radiospaetkauf.com/donate/ A bahn-strike started last Wednesday, running six days until the morning of January 29th included the S-Bahn. The rail worker's union, the GDL, is advocating for a shorter 35-hour work week with full pay, a wage increase of €555 per month immediately as well as a €3,000 one off inflation compensation. Deutsche Bahn has offered only a 4.8% raise for 2024, 5% in 2025 and 2.7% in 2026. Berlin's mayor Kai Wegner and education secretary Katharina Günther-Wünsch revealed they were in a romantic relationship. An anti-semitism clause proposed by CDU politician Joe Chialo was deemed a violation of artists' constitutional rights. Agricultural sector protestors brought the city centre of Berlin to a standstill. Emergency vehicles were blocked and streets took hours to clear. The protests were organised in opposition to the proposed end of tax exemptions for diesel used in agricultural vehicles. A meteorite listed as 2024 BX1 crashed near Berlin last Sunday night and has not yet been found. According to Thomas Becker of Westhavelland Star Park, it may have crashed in an area east of Nennhausen. If you come across a suspicious looking rock, don't touch it. Members of the AfD and some CDU were present at a secret meeting last November in a villa outside Potsdam along with extreme right activists including Martin Sellner of the Identitarian Movement. Plans to ‘re-migrate' both foreigners and Germans from a foreign country were discussed. In response over a million people across Germany took to the streets, demonstrating against right wing extremism. Berlin politicians left in protest when AfD state Chair Kristin Brinker rose to speak at a recent Assembly session. Green party leader Bettina Jarasch commented that it would be wrong to ‘listen to AfD denials', and Berlin CDU parliamentary group leader Dirk Strettner said “I don't listen to right wing radical relativising and lying.” January 27th was Holocaust Remembrance Day, and commemorations were held across the city, including in Reinickendorf where the BVV has five AfD members who were automatically invited to the ceremony, so a local alliance against the far right organised an alternative vigil on another memorial site.

Judaism takes a very different view of sex than much of mainstream culture in the U.S. Mischaracterization or misunderstanding of some of these differences may have evolved into some of the many anti-Semitic stereotypes (including conflicting ones…goes to show the solid reasoning behind stereotypes), but the general discourse among modern American Jews at least is, overall, pretty sex-positive. My views of sex were always a bit different, a bit more nuanced, perhaps, from my peers, so I went to the source: my mother. She's a pretty unusual sort in her own right, and has diligently passed along some of our rule-bending values and family traditions I didn't even know about. We'll learn how her parents talked to her about sex in the ‘60s, her youth as a “flower child,” and how that informed her dealing with my own and my siblings' high school hijinks. Join me and my little old Jewish mother for some laughter and insight, and maybe even a fresh perspective of how sex, love, and responsibility for one another are a perfectly natural—and often wonderful—part of life.

Last week, Tasha Adams watched her ex-husband, Stewart Rhodes, get sentenced to 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. Rhodes both founded and led the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government militia group that marched on the Capitol during the January 6th insurrection. Earlier the same week, Adams also finalized her divorce proceedings against Rhodes — ending over twenty years of a marriage that culminated in abuse and isolation. In our last episode, OTM correspondent Micah Loewinger and Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex & Money, traveled to Montana to speak to Adams about her marriage with Rhodes. Now we're giving you an extended look at that conversation through a segment that originally aired on Death, Sex & Money. Anna and Micah talk to Tasha about her decades-long marriage with Stewart, from their courtship in a ballroom dance class in Las Vegas, to abuse and isolation as Stewart became transfixed on politics and apocalyptic ideas. Plus, Tasha sits down with Kelly Jones, ex-wife of far-right radio host Alex Jones, and they compare notes on their marriages, and reflect on their secret text exchanges from 2018, when Tasha was plotting her escape from Stewart with her six kids.

In recent weeks, we've covered an appearance by neo-Nazis at a rally in Melbourne, as well as ASIO's decision to steer away from labels like ‘right' and ‘left' when talking about radicalisation in Australia. The issue of far-right extremism has often been covered in Australia as a political issue, but what about as an issue of safety and security? Today, we revisit our conversation with the author of ‘Rise of the Extreme Right', Lydia Khalil, on the far-right in Australia, its connections around the world and the best way to stop it from growing. This episode first aired on 12 January this year. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Author of ‘Rise of the Extreme Right', Lydia Khalil

My neighbor two houses down recently sent me a Mere Fidelity podcast episode interviewing ‘What's Wrong with Rights?' author Dr. Nigel Biggar. While I'm glad to have gotten the episode, I did not at all care for the dismissive attitude toward even the concept of natural rights which Dr. Biggar communicated. It seems Dr. Biggar has only two categories for conversations about rights – statements of fact concerning the legal rights granted by civil governments, and moral appeals from the governed to be granted more rights by their governments. The trouble with this is that it leads to tyranny and arbitrary rule. Remember here the premise of Romans 13, that governing authority is God-given but has no less a mandate to reward those who do good and punish those who do evil. If that dual-purpose is what God has given this minister of civil government power and authority to achieve, it cannot possibly do its job well if it does not know what is right and wrong, or if we say that the government itself is the source of right and wrong. On a related note, New Zealand's prime minister says world leaders have an opportunity right now to crack down on free speech online. Ideas freely communicated are themselves weapons of war in her view. And given how her government and that of Australia next door handled the COVID business, it's not hard to imagine what kind of speech online she would like to see banned, or met with force if necessary to curtail. But even as New Zealand's prime minister is calling for more censorship, Italy's first female PM is being censored online. Shadowbanned, shares of her speech are being suppressed. Meanwhile, the mainstream media headlines when you search for her on Google all describe her as “Extreme Right,” and “Far Right,” and “Hard Right.” This is a word association game, and a kind of brainwashing. At the same time, Canada is reportedly allowing China to open up police stations to the north of us. Who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing? The only reason I can think of for why one nation would permit another nation to open up police stations in their country is colonization. That is to say, I see this as China colonizing Canada. That is also to say that I see New Zealand's PM talking about curtailing free speech online as a kind of colonization of at least the ideas of the Chinese Communist Party; it's the sort of thing they would do too, and have done now for decades. My wife sent me a link to a YouTube video share from the channel for ‘The Good and the Beautiful' in which the founder, Jenny Phillips, talks about the difference between popular children's books from 100-150 years ago and the most popular books of today. The sentences now are short, simple, action-oriented, and relatively more concerned with the self than with others and the surrounding environment. By contrast, books 100-150 years ago had far more complexity, and more adjectives – more describing words. Popular children's books today make no mention of God, but frequently do contain rude humor, and disparaging remarks about family relationships. It's not just that our expectations are so low; it's that many have demanded more and more that simplicity and self-absorption carry the day, rejecting work that is robust and espouses high ideals. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support
Religion and American Conservatism | The American far-right has, in many ways, become inseparable from religious conservatism and fervor. Religious movements and organizations provide the foundation, funding, and voting base of the extreme right in American politics, explains our latest guest. Katherine Stewart, the author of The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism, has spent her career reporting on the dwindling separation between church and state in the United States. In this episode of How to Fix Democracy, she joins host Andrew Keen to discuss how religious nationalism has been cultivated by leaders on the far-right for political gain.
This week we have a chat with Lydia Khalil about her new book The Rise Of The Extreme Right.

My informal weekly coffee with Heather Lofthouse (Executive Director of Inequality Media Civic Action, and my former student), discussing the past week. Today we talk about three things giving Heather a headache and making Bob's blood boil — the Supreme Court become so radically rightwing that even John Roberts has lost control over it, a Republican Party become so nuts that it's impervious to the January 6 committee hearings, and economists and policymakers at the Fed become such apologists for corporations that they're blaming inflation on wage increases rather than on corporate profits. Heather also gives old Bob the nicest compliment he's ever received. Please pull up a chair. This is a public episode.
