Post-liberalism is all the rage on the American right, finding a common cause between legal theorists like Adrian Vermeule and Patrick Deneen and rising political stars like J.D. Vance, the serving vice president. In the UK, on the other hand, the movement has been pioneered by left-wing thinkers seeking to return lost working-class voters to the Labour Party and return the party itself to its non-urban, communitarian and patriotic roots. In Against Post-Liberalism: Why ‘Family, Faith and Flag' is a Dead End for the Left (Polity, 2025), Paul Kelly explores this post-liberal strain and concludes that it offers "capitalism without social mobility". "Liberalism is not everything but it's not supposed to be," he writes. "It doesn't give an account of the meaning of life or the point of the universe. What it does offer is a way of negotiating social change and, hopefully, of ensuring that the burdens of that change fall reasonably equitably on everyone across generations. It looks to the future. It does not lock us into some nostalgia for a world gone by or frustrate our engagement with a future of necessary change". Paul Kelly is Professor of Political Theory at the London School of Economics. Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Advisors, who writes and podcasts at 242.news.

Dave and Bethlie discuss the book Manhood by Senator Josh Hawley.  About the Author: Represents Missouri in US Senate First Amendment Lawyer and law professor Former Attorney General of Missouri They live in Ozark MO and have three children About the Book: Senator Hawley addresses an issue that concerns many in our world today - the issue of masculinity under attack.   He calls this issue a crisis and I agree Why I love the book: It is good and offers a perspective that is sometimes outside of my realm He shows how manhood was perceived in the Greek and Roman era He has great illustrations from his own experiences growing up in a rural area He build a model of manhood following the Bible, the Word of God What is the point? Senator Hawley shows the essential virtues a man should cultivate Shows why a man has to be a warrior, builder, priest, and king Show the important of courage and commitment as the starting point for manhood Shows the philosophy behind modern liberalism and offers evidence of why it is so destructive to our nation as a whole. The chapters; 2 Parts 10 chapters In the Beginning A Man's Mission A Man's Battle  A Man's Promise Husband Father Warrior Builder Priest King Chapter 1  General patterns Living Habits and Work More and more young men remain at home 50 % of Lower skilled young men in their 20s who have a job still live at home (or with a close relative) If they don't have a job, 70% still live at home. 2015 - 1/4 of young men 20-20 had no work at all In 1970, 95 percent of 30 years old made more money then their fathers had In 2014, only 44 percent did Underperformance at school 70% of Ds and Fs are given to boys By 8th grade, only 20% of boys are proficient in writing At same age, only 24% can earn proficient scores on reading exams Boys now make up 2/3 of students in remedial programs, not because their intelligence is lower, but because they aren't trying! What do young men do with their time? Screens Leisure Porn Another way of saying it is:  Socializing, relaxing, leisure Vast amount of leisure time includes video games and porn These young men are now battling depression and drug abuse at historic levels and the results have been disastrous Liberalism is the philosophy behind it all Liberalism believes that western society is unequal unjust and corrupt to its foundations Masculinity is one of the foundations and it must be "smashed" for man to be free Senator Hawley's point is that the answer to our masculine crisis is "the oldest and most profound story there is. It is the story of the Bible"   Chapter 2 places an emphasis on man's purpose by tracing our story back to the garden of Eden   Chapter 3 places an emphasis on man's responsibility and duty   Chapter 4 is especially worth considering It details how masculinity became something oppressive, something to be avoided and eradicated In chapter 3, he introduces the readers to Epicurus and to Rousseau and showed how that their ideology lead to men throwing off all responsibility and choosing only to do what they wanted to do.  Their happiness and their fulfillment was the only reason to live In this chapter, he show how the followers of Karl Marx paved the way for the attack on modern masculinity It saw traditional culture as the enemy; especially Christianity From there, it attacked femininity and masculinity Senator Hawley gives ample illustrations of how this is being taught in our schools and in our institutions and how it is destroy our nation as we know it

Politics feels louder than ever and somehow emptier too. We open the hood on liberalism—what it claims to be, how it actually behaves, and why Trump's rise didn't just bend norms but exposed tensions baked into the system. With Dillion from Untrodden, we trace the fault lines between liberal commitments to stability and civil discourse and the gravitational pull toward executive power, media spectacle, and anti‑politics.Step by step, we chart the historical map: from the 18th Brumaire and Bonapartism to today's illiberal temptations, and why figures like Orban or Berlusconi echo past crises more than they break from them. We ask whether liberalism's best asset—pragmatic governance—can survive without a clearer core, and whether the left's sharpest critiques can help rebuild a coherent center of gravity rather than just tear it down. We also examine identity politics' moral heat with little policy light, the post‑pandemic sorting of temperaments over ideologies, and the unsettling ease with which tech billionaires switch lanes as incentives shift.Rather than rehearse stale talking points, we get practical about coalitions. What can Marxists and liberals realistically build together? Where do alliance models like the united front make sense, and where do they fail? We argue for a new baseline: mutual recognition, radical honesty, and a shared willingness to protect civil society and institutional checks as nonnegotiables. From unions to city budgets, the places where people shoulder common obligations are where trust can be rebuilt and rhetoric can give way to results.If you're tired of vibes posing as politics and want a serious, good‑faith reckoning with liberalism's crisis and the left's role in solving it, this conversation is for you.

Liberalism may feel as though it has been around forever - as the "dominant ideology of the modern west" - but not even its advocates and detractors can agree what it is. Political sophisticates ask whether it is classical-, social-, ordo- or neo-liberal while American main street associates it with socialism. Yet a new generation of "post-liberal" thinkers know liberalism well enough to want to give it upi or, in most cases, go back to a time - real or imagined - before it took hold.In the US, these political philosophers are mostly Catholic conservatives. In the UK, with one prominent exception, they are largely left-wing Anglicans. In both countries, they tend to be religious and yearn for pre-globalisation communitarian, familial and patriotic certainties.  "Where liberals believe political authority is derived from individuals consenting to be ruled, for post-liberals it comes from serving the common good," writes Matt Sleat in Post-Liberalism (Polity, 2025). His book explores the ideas of the likes of Chad Pecknold, Gladden Pappin, Sohrab Ahmari and post-liberalism's two standout thinkers: Adrian Vermeule and Patrick Deneen.Matt Sleat is Reader in Political Theory at the University of Sheffield.*The author's book recommendations were Power and Powerlessness: The Liberalism of Fear in the Twenty First Century by Edward Hall (OUP Oxford, 2025) and Global Discord: Values and Power in a Fractured World Order by Paul Tucker (Princeton University Press, 2022).

Two writers from the New York Times say the liberal values that have flooded our culture with online gambling, pornography, and cannabis have backfired, but secular progressives, like Ezra Klein, admit that they don't have a framework for explaining why. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the benefits and limitations of liberalism as a political and social philosophy, and why those on the left are increasingly aware of their need for religion. Matthew Soerens from World Relief is back to discuss why the Trump administration's immigration policies are so different in his second term, how the President's ever-changing rhetoric is causing chaos, and why America is accepting the collective punishment of immigrants. Also this week, raccoons are on a mission to be the pets of the future.

But in case you're unfamiliar, Stephanie is the host of the nationally syndicated Stephanie Miller Show.

Today we talked about how she caused the MAGA entertainment complex to lose its shpadoinkle over a photo of her kissing Jasmine Crockett's feet. We also talked about some behind the scenes radio things. A little bike riding in there, too, including how she rescued me from a ditch after I crashed. And so much more.

Economist and techno-optimist Noah Smith, author of the Noahpinion Substack, joins Offline to debate the promise of artificial intelligence, the benefits of online fragmentation (could it be good for our society?) and whether liberal nationalism is feasible—and a good thing. Though Noah and Jon differ on a lot of “Offline” themes, they find common ground on the dangers of social media, leftist scolds, and a country with an identity crisis.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Harry talks with journalist Jerusalem Demsas about her case for a robust, combative liberalism capable of taking the fight to the current political power structure. Demsas has just launched a new publication—The Argument—dedicated to renewing and improving the kind of politics that helped fostered many of the country's best achievements. Harry asks Demsas about the shape of that revived liberalism, how she plans to persuade MAGA and other skeptics, and why she feels so optimistic in such a difficult time Learn more about your ad choices.

Cass Sunstein is one of the most widely cited legal scholars of all time and among the most prolific writers working today. This year alone he has five books out, including Imperfect Oracle on the strengths and limits of AI and On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom. In his second appearance on the show, he brings his characteristic intellectual range to exploring liberalism's present precariousness and AI's implications for law and speech. Tyler and Cass discuss whether liberalism is self-undermining or simply vulnerable to illiberal forces, the tensions in how a liberal immigration regime would work, whether new generations of liberal thinkers are emerging, if Derek Parfit counts as a liberal, Mill's liberal wokeism, the allure of Mises' "cranky enthusiasm for freedom," whether the central claim of The Road to Serfdom holds up, how to blend indigenous rights with liberal thought, whether AIs should have First Amendment protections, the argument for establishing a right not to be manipulated, better remedies for low-grade libel, whether we should have trials run by AI, how Bob Dylan embodies liberal freedom, Cass' next book about animal rights, and more.

Post-liberalism has escaped the internet and entered mainstream politics—but what does it actually mean? Derek, James, and Alastair map three competing visions: nostalgic return to pre-modern order, retrieval of Christian liberalism, or genuine revolution forward.         Retry

Laura K. Field's Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right, published earlier this month, is a book we simply had to discuss. Listeners to this podcast will recognize its cast of characters—conservative intellectuals like Patrick Deneen, Michael Anton, John Eastman, Adrian Vermeule, and Harry Jaffa, among others—whose ideas and influence Field carefully categorizes and evaluates, bringing order to an unruly decade of intellectual history. Topics include: Leo Strauss and the problem of great teachers; the use and abuse of grand narratives by the right; how the Claremonters went all in on Trump; the permission given by postliberals to some of the nastiest impulses on the right; and more!Sources:Laura K.
