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? Saving Elephants welcomes two guests to set the record straight for good and all. Dan Hugger, Editorial and Research Fellow and the Host of Acton Line Podcast at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty. He writes and speaks on questions of education, history, political economy, and religion, and is the editor of two books: Lord Acton: Historical and Moral Essays and The Humane Economist: A Wilhelm Röpke Reader. Andy Smarick is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, where his work focuses on education, civil society, and the principles of American conservatism. Smarick has authored or edited four books: The Urban School System of the Future: Applying the Principles and Lessons of Chartering (2012); Closing America's High-achievement Gap: A Wise Giver's Guide to Helping Our Most Talented Students Reach Their Full Potential (2013); Catholic School Renaissance: A Wise Giver's Guide to Strengthening a National Asset (2015); and No Longer Forgotten: The Triumphs and Struggles of Rural Education in America (2018). His work has also been published in outlets such as The Atlantic, Washington Post, Education Week, among others.

The political left and right increasingly agree on one dangerous idea: Washington should direct more of the economy.Industrial policy, tariffs, subsidies, and economic nationalism are being sold as ways to rebuild manufacturing, strengthen families, and make America more prosperous. But replacing market decisions with political direction does not create prosperity. It concentrates power, protects favored industries, and forces families and businesses to pay the bill.That is the focus of my conversation with Dr. Paul Mueller, Senior Research Fellow and Director of Defending Freedom and Combatting Collectivism at the American Institute for Economic Research. Paul studies entrepreneurship, economic growth, monetary economics, and political economy. He also hosts AIER's The Economist Next Door, which brings economic ideas to everyday Americans.We discuss his AIER paper examining the New Right's growing embrace of industrial policy, protectionism, and government-directed investment.
The 7.4-magnitude earthquake that devastated Colombia this week was also an immediate test for the country’s new Trump-aligned president. Abelardo de la Espriella, who campaigned on slashing Colombia's deficit and cracking down on armed rebel groups, now faces the prospect of stalling coffee shipments and a costly relief effort, in his first week in office. On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura talks to Bloomberg’s Oscar Medina in Bogotá, Colombia, and Travis Waldron in Brasília, Brazil, about what this moment could mean for a divided Colombia — and for Latin America’s tilt to the right.

Josh opens the show by discussing what "the common good" really means as the debate takes center stage across the country. He explains the difference between policies that genuinely serve the common good and the way the phrase is being used by some to advance their own political agenda. Oren Cass, Chief Economist at American Compass, joins Josh to discuss inflation, the growing conversation surrounding the New Right movement, and the renewed focus on the idea of the common good. They also examine the rise of data centers and what their long-term impact could be on the U.S. economy. With it being primary day in Michigan, Josh wraps up the show by discussing the DSA-backed candidate on the ballot and what a primary victory would say about the direction of Democratic voters in the state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is the Republican Party changing into something entirely new? Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins react to the growing ideological battle inside the GOP, from the rise of post-liberal conservatism to the influence of figures like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and J.D. Vance. As both political parties wrestle with identity, the conversation explores where conservatism is headed and what it could mean for 2028. Senior National Review writer and bestselling author Noah Rothman joins the show to discuss his new book Blood and Progress, the resurgence of democratic socialism, the Democratic Socialists of America, political violence, and why both parties are facing profound internal divisions. He also weighs in on the future of the Republican coalition, Trump's approval ratings, and the growing influence of post-liberal politics.

Patrick Deneen's 2018 book, Why Liberalism Failed, was by the standards of most academic works of political philosophy, wildly successful. It struck a chord with some of the broader Right and gave a voice to a growing movement skeptical of the promises of classical liberalism and looking for an alternative. This burgeoning New Right, however, is anything but new. The kind of postliberalism often advocated by the New Right has been attempted in nations across Europe and South America. And each time it has been tried, it has failed. Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is James Patterson and Thomas Howes to talk about their new book, Why Postliberalism Failed. The trio unpackage the wild, conspiratorial, and gruesome history of postliberal regimes of the past and explore what it might tell us about how similar efforts might play out today. About James Patterson James M. Patterson, Ph.D. is an associate professor of politics at Ave Maria University. He received his B.A. in Political Science and Media Studies at the University of Houston in 2002 and his Ph.D. in American Politics from the University of Virginia in 2012. His areas of research include race, religion, and American political development. He has held research positions at the Program for American Values and Institutions at Duke University and the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, as well as teaching positions at Hampden-Sydney College and Gettysburg College. He has published academic research in Perspectives in Political Science, American Political Thought, Anamnesis, and Journal of Church and State. He has published more popular essays and book reviews for Modern Age, Society, Library of Law and Liberty, and Public Discourse. About Thomas Howes Thomas Howes is currently a Lecturer in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University. He has a PhD in philosophy at Catholic University of America. He is also a member of the James Madison Society at Princeton University. He has a healthy and general curiosity, but his academic emphases are in the fields of Thomistic virtue ethics and natural law theory, political ethics, political philosophy, political economy, and the philosophy of religion. His dissertation was a political-ethical defense of religious liberty. He is also happily married with two daughters.
Author Rod Dreher made a recent appearance on "The Jeremy Boreing Show," where he attacked JD Vance and the New Right. Dreher has a nasty habit of going after fellow conservatives and did not disappoint in this appearance. Both men heavily implied that criticism of the state of Israel is the equivalent of adopting fascism and warned that Vance may be influenced by these sinister forces. J.

And how will things go for Jordan Pickford after his mixed performances on the big stage? Then chat turns to the Everton squad. The squad is still significantly short in some key areas and there is still no sign of a new right-back. They couldn't really go another transfer window without buying one could they?

Live July 5, 2026(The Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 6)In the Mind of Curtis Yarvin | Yaron & Nikos DialoguesCurtis Yarvin's Vision for America: Dangerous Genius or the Future of the New Right?Curtis Yarvin has become one of the most influential—and controversial—thinkers shaping today's New Right. His ideas on executive power, democracy, elites, Silicon Valley, and the future of America have quietly influenced entrepreneurs, technologists, and political insiders. But are his ideas intellectually profound... or fundamentally anti-Enlightenment?In Episode 6 of The Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos take a deep dive into Yarvin's philosophy, examining everything from his theory of "The Cathedral" to his rejection of the American Revolution, democracy, equality, and the Enlightenment itself.Along the way they explore Marc Andreessen, Silicon Valley's political transformation, CEO-run city-states, executive power, Christianity's political role, Jordan Peterson's hierarchy arguments, Trump, Harvard, Ukraine, Israel, and why these ideas are gaining traction among young intellectuals.Whether you've heard of Curtis Yarvin—or are encountering him for the first time—this discussion explains why his influence matters and what it could mean for the future of Western civilization.Watch now and join the conversation.Timestamps00:33 — World Cup predictions04:35 — Who is Curtis Yarvin?08:03 — The Cathedral and where power really lies18:27 — Why Yarvin rejects the American Revolution and the Enlightenment25:26 — Yarvin's controversial ideas and growing influence30:50 — Silicon Valley, executive power, and the New Right35:13 — Trump, Harvard, and political reform42:25 — The Declaration of Independence under attack47:43 — America as a modern theocracy?54:09 — CEO-run city-states and Yarvin's political ideal59:44 — Ukraine, Israel, and foreign policy1:03:19 — Preview: Kissinger & the Spanish Civil War1:07:01 — What makes a revolution?Live Audience Questions1:08:57 — Is there a lesson of influence in Curtis Yarvin's success?1:21:23 — How do the Tech Right and Christian Right fit together?1:25:13 — Is Yarvin's view of hierarchy like Jordan Peterson's "lobsters"?1:29:19 — Did Yarvin misunderstand the Confederacy?1:32:28 — What's your take on the Rationalist movement?1:33:37 — Is antisemitism like global warming?1:36:04 — Is there still enough freedom to push the boundaries and grow in the US?1:51:17 — Is FIFA welfare good for the sport?1:53:13 — Are Democratic Socialists becoming more emboldened?1:55:31 — Would Trump invest in OpenAI to reduce regulation?1:57:42 — Why does capitalism survive if politicians don't understand it?1:58:41 — Can a rational minority defeat an irrational majority?2:00:23 — What factors would most effectively integrate Europe?2:01:10 — Is Britain worse off than it was in the 1970s?2:04:37 — What do you think of Mehdi Hasan?2:07:47 — Do competitive sports encourage zero-sum thinking?2:08:55 — What do you think of James Fishback?2:10:08 — Nick Land and Deleuze: profound or nonsense?2:13:22 — Has anyone matched Ayn Rand's intellectual influence?2:18:24 — Real Madrid under Mourinho?If you enjoy thoughtful discussions that challenge conventional wisdom, be sure to subscribe, like this video, and share it with friends who care about philosophy, politics, economics, and the future of freedom.Watch the full episode: https://youtube.com/live/TgT960KLNg8More from [Nikos Sotirakopoulos](https://www.nikos.org/)Support Nikos: / @nikos_1717
Part 5: The Natural Law provides a key to resolving a Republican debate in the 1980s on the normative judicial power, Judicial Activism v. Judicial Restraint.

On this episode of Virtual Sentiments, Kristen Collins talks with Laura K. Field about the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and her recent book, Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right. The conversation traces how Field came to chronicle the intellectual architecture behind Trumpism between 2016 and 2024. She explains that beneath the populist energy of the MAGA movement lies a smaller but highly influential network of intellectuals who built a deliberate ideological case against postwar liberal internationalism and fusionist conservatism. Together, they explore the different intellectual camps within this "New Right" and their varying and sometimes conflicting visions of the American founding. Dr. Laura K. Field is an associate with the Illiberalism Studies Program at George Washington University, a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution, and visiting scholar in residence at American University. She is the author of Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right (Princeton University Press, 2025).**This episode was recorded on May 29, 2026**Show Notes:An Introductory Overview of Furious MindsLaura K.

Breht is joined by A.J.A. Woods, author of The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy: Why the Right Blames the Frankfurt School for the Decline of the West. In this conversation, they explore the genealogy of the "Cultural Marxism" myth, the reactionary forces that shaped it, and the way it continues to animate right-wing attacks on liberation movements, critical thought, and social progress. Moving from the upheavals of the long 1960s through Lyndon LaRouche, the New Right, the Tea Party, and today's panics over "wokeness," CRT, and gender, Woods shows how "Cultural Marxism" functions less as a coherent theory than as a flexible ideological weapon: one that explains away popular struggles for equality and emancipation as elite manipulation, cultural subversion, and civilizational decay. The result is a rich historical and political analysis of one of the contemporary right's most influential myths, and of the broader culture-war terrain on which reaction, neoliberalism, and authoritarianism increasingly converge. ---------------------------------------------------- Check out our NEW REV LEFT MERCH with Goods For The People HERE Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/
A new masculinist movement has gone mainstream on the right. The prominent voices in this movement yearn for an earlier time, when men were men and women were women. Sometimes that time seems to be the 1950s, like when Tucker Carlson extols a world where men go to work and women stay at home. But sometimes it goes way farther back. The pastor Doug Wilson advocates household voting, in which men vote for their wives. And Costin Vlad Alamariu, better known as Bronze Age Pervert, harks back to the Bronze Age — specifically the ancient Hittite and Mitanni Empires. Helen Lewis wrote a recent cover story for The Atlantic about this new antifeminist backlash, which she calls “the single most important force holding together the American right.” So I wanted to have her on the show to talk about these ideas, the political program of this movement and how seriously we should take it. Lewis is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of “Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights” and “The Genius Myth.” This episode contains strong language.

Some conservatives are sounding more like the left on economics.Tariffs. Industrial policy. Government-directed investment. Picking winners and losers. These policies are increasingly being promoted as solutions to America's affordability challenges, but do they actually help families prosper?In Episode 201 of the Let People Prosper Show, I sit down with Marc Short, Chairman of Advancing American Freedom, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Mike Pence, and one of the key architects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.We discuss the future of conservative economics, why affordability has become the defining political issue, the legacy of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and whether tariffs and industrial policy help or hurt economic growth and opportunity.✅ The future of conservative economics✅ The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its legacy✅ Why affordability matters politically✅ Tariffs and trade policy✅ Economic growth and worker prosperity✅ The New Right versus free-market economicsIf you enjoyed this conversation, please like, subscribe, and share it with others.
Why have some of the most influential voices on the populist right become increasingly hostile to Israel, skeptical of America, and sympathetic to Russia? In this fascinating solo interview, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki sits down with cultural critic and author Dr. James Lindsay to explore the ideas of Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin and the growing influence of his worldview on parts of the American right. Together they examine the roots of anti-globalism, the appeal of traditionalism, the rise of what some call the "woke right," and the intellectual currents connecting Russia, Iran, nationalism, and anti-Israel sentiment. They discuss why so many young people are searching for identity and rootedness, how legitimate frustrations with modern culture can be manipulated into destructive ideologies, and why the Judeo-Christian foundations of America remain essential to understanding both freedom and human dignity. This is a wide-ranging conversation about ideas, propaganda, faith, nationalism, and the battle for the future of Western civilization.
Samuel Hammond, director of artificial intelligence policy and chief economist at the Foundation for American Innovation, explores the tensions between the Old Right's free-market orthodoxy and the New Right's willingness to wield state power, and discusses how figures like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and JD Vance are forging a new political coalition around technology and national interests. He dives deep into artificial intelligence: why it's testing the coherence of conservative ideology, and what the administration's "accelerationist" agenda ultimately means for Canada's relationship with the United States.This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary.

Give to help Chris continue to make Truce A bunch of evangelicals like Tim LaHaye, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell pushed many in the evangelical movement to support Ronald Reagan for president. The New Right tied them to the Republican Party. But... what did they get for their efforts? In this mini-episode, Chris lays out some of the few things they got. And some of the things that Reagan did that upset these evangelicals with large followings. One thing they didn't like was the appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor as the first female Supreme Court judge. But Reagan did dedicate a day of prayer and offered an amendment to protect prayer in schools (though it was never going to pass). It's possible that what Reagan really left these evangelicals with large followings was not legislation, but permission to use deeply flawed individuals to achieve their goals.

Defectors from the ‘New Right' say that sexism is a feature, not a bug of modern-day conservatism.New York Magazine's Sam Adler-Bell published The Young Women Leaving the New Right, detailing the experiences of conservative women who say that rampant misogyny within the space is pushing them out of a community they helped build. From demanding that women stay home and out of public life to advocating for the repeal of civil rights law - some conservative women have reached their limit. But host Brittany Luse wonders: will this change of heart stick in the voting booths? Or is this just more of the same?To answer that question, Brittany is joined by Editor at Large of the 19th and NABJ President, Errin Haines. Errin helps unpack the link between the ‘new' and ‘old' right, white women checkered political history, and how searching for community can sometimes lead people down dark paths.

Vance loves big ideas, or at least the idea of big ideas. Unlike President Donald Trump, he reads books and even writes his own, and he talks, authentically, like a diploma-carrying member of the elite they both ostentatiously disdain. He aligns himself with the“post-liberal right”, a term so highfalutin one struggles to imagine Mr Trump using it. Mr Vance serves as the chief emissary between the Trump White House and the intellectual “New Right”, the agglomeration of pointy-heads, Silicon Valley potentates and podcasters with big ideas of their own for saving Western civilisation, as Mr Vance, apocalyptically, likes to describe his mission.知识点:authentically /ɔːˈθentɪkli/ 副词 adv.本义为 “真实地、真正地”;在外刊中核心用法为 **(反讽语境)实打实、毫无掩饰地、刻在骨子里地 **,专门用来形容人物特质与刻意塑造的平民形象形成反差,自带强烈讽刺意味,是替代 “truly、really” 的高级表达,能精准传递原文的讽刺张力。・He talks authentically like a member of the elite even as he claims to disdain the privileged class. 他嘴上说着鄙视特权阶级,说话的样子却刻满了精英的印记。・The candidate's working-class persona was undermined by his authentically privileged upbringing. 这位候选人的工人阶级人设,被他实打实的精英成长背景戳穿了。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记,请关注微信公众号「早安英文」,回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你! 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》,带你精读最新外刊,了解国际最热事件:分析语法结构,拆解长难句,最接地气的翻译,还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻,想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达,有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者(如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等) 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程,拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解,系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记,包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等,帮助扫除阅读障碍。

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it means to find the new "right distance" in our relationships.Whether that's choosing to be wicked close to some people - while having to keep a few other humans a little bit at arm's length. The thing is, sometimes being all up close and cozy is where it's at - and sometimes what we need to do consider is if it makes more sense to go "no contact" for a while. I share why communication breakdowns, unacknowledged feelings, and old trauma patterns can make us rethink how close we can safely be with certain people, including our own family.I also dive into setting boundaries without being reactive, how we can give ourselves space for clarity to come through, and the willingness to stay open (if that's truly right for you) for the possibility of reconciliation and repair.While we often wish for there to be respectful communication and connection with those we care about - sometimes we have to simply walk away with love. ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent, and her no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self-development, and transformational work.Karen helps people to navigate this whole “being human” experience using practical tools, universal principles and stories, and a variety of resources.KK has been a yoga teacher for 25+ years, has been giving Thai Yoga Massage since 2008, and began teaching it in 2015.She's also a Gateless Writing Instructor, and host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.She coaches clients individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST and via her HEART-TO-HEART DAYS using Voxer.

Did Donald Trump just unconditionally surrender to Iran? From his disastrous pullback in the Middle East to caving on immigration, ICE funding, and the courts, the "New Right" is facing a harsh reality: Trump speaks loudly but carries a white flag. I break down the shocking truth behind Trump's handling of the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz. But this isn't just a foreign policy failure — it's emblematic of an 11-year domestic pattern. Whether it's allowing sanctuary cities to thrive, retreating on mass deportations, or allowing Democrats to dictate DHS funding, the conservative movement has been saddled with all the liabilities of the Trump persona and none of the policy victories. Plus, I cover the ongoing local battles over massive tech data centers in red states and why grassroots conservatives must build a parallel, godly movement away from the grift of the "podcast bros." Republicans continue to get crushed at the ballot box, along with data centers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Michael sits down with Dr. Brian Rosenwald, author of "Talk Radio's America", to break down the rapidly evolving world of conservative media. Rosenwald—whose work was once praised by Rush Limbaugh himself—explains how talk radio helped pave the way for Donald Trump's 2016 victory. But today's media landscape looks nothing like it did then. From legacy voices like Sean Hannity to the rise of Joe Rogan and the “manosphere,” Rosenwald maps out eight distinct factions shaping conservative media in 2026. He explores the influence of viral social media personalities, MAGA loyalists, conspiracy-driven figures, and a new wave of lifestyle influencers targeting younger audiences. The conversation also tackles a key question: Has conservative media become too fragmented for any single voice to dominate—and what does that mean for future elections? If you want to understand the forces driving political discourse today—and where it's headed next—this is a must-listen. Original air date 3 April 2026 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last month, our very own Sam Adler-Bell published a deeply reported article in New York magazine about "the women leaving the New Right." That is, the women who've come to realize, as Sam pithily puts it, this truth about the MAGA movement: "Sexism wasn't merely the price of entry; it was the theme of the party." MAGA-style misogyny is different than the oldfangled, pre-Trump, pre-Fuentes, pre-Tate brothers iteration that marked the conservative movement in decades past. In this episode, Matt interviews Sam about the article, and they discuss misogyny on the right, old and new; what the women he spoke to describe experiencing during their time on the New Right, the bargain they thought they were getting by joining its ranks, and what they found in reality; the nasty misogyny that, even more than his racism and antisemitism, animates Nick Fuentes; dating and romance on the New Right; rightwing religion, patriarchy, and the 19th amendment; and more.

A buzzy new essay at New York Mag announces that some women have grown disgruntled at the MAGA movement and by their treatment from some on the New Right. Now their criticisms are being used to publicly discredit conservatism, wholesale. The concerns are real, but need to be addressed in-house—before they become oppo fodder. Meanwhile, Director of National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent has resigned, citing the war in Iran.

Marshall and Saagar discuss what the escalating conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran means for an "America First" movement and MAGA Republican Party that campaigned on promises to end the past two decades of American intervention in the Middle East.
When people break with MAGA, most of them walk away and don't look back, whether out of shame or fear or both. So it's a rare thing to talk with someone willing to describe publicly why they joined the Trump movement, what life was like on the inside, and the reasons they left — but it's just such a conversation we have for you today, with writer and former New Right firebrand Pedro L.

Marshall and Laura discuss the intellectual movement behind Trumpism and the rise of the MAGA New Right, the intellectual branches of the movement: the Claremont Institute, Postliberals, and the National Conservatives, how cultural conflict became the engine of New Right movement-building, the future of higher education, and why the center-left's obsession with "policy" leaves it vulnerable to populist movements with ideas and language that speak to deeper questions of meaning in 21st century America.
We're one year into Trump 2.0. And it's America at 250. James, Steve and Charles discuss and debate an especially wild week for an already-adventurous Trump administration.
President Trump is declining in popularity with voters, but his rhetoric and that of the Trump Administration is only growing more extreme. But to understand how we got here, in this place, we have to go back to the 1980s — when right-wing academics and thinkers worked together to create a counter-revolution to mainstream conservative institutions. For more, we spoke to writer and political theorist Laura K. Field. She wrote a book on the modern conservative movement titled “Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right.”And in headlines, the President reveals his “Great Healthcare Plan,” Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado gives her medal to Trump, and billions of dollars for mental health and addiction organizations are restored just 24 hours after the Trump administration initially pulled them.Show Notes:Check out Furious Minds – https://tinyurl.com/276s5uj6Call 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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The New Right's Radical Rejection of Traditional Republicanism. Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Berkowitz contrasts the New Right's desire for state-led social reform with the Republican Party's traditional focus on liberty and limited government. He discusses Michael Anton's views on the "right of revolution" and warns that attacking classical liberalism risks eroding essential protections against bigotry and persecution in America.1929 HOOVER PARADE
SHOW SCHEDULE1-14-251920 SALT RIVER China Urges Canada to Break from US Influence. Guests: CHARLES BURTON and GORDON CHANG. China is pressuring Canada to adopt "strategic autonomy" and distance itself from US influence as PM Mark Carney visits Beijing. Despite myths of economic salvation through Chinese trade, experts argue Canada'sexports to China remain minimal. Concerns persist regarding fentanyl production, Arctic neglect, and Chineseespionage. China's "Hollow Power" in Iran and Venezuela. Guests: GORDON CHANG and CHARLES BURTON. China's influence appears limited as it fails to substantively support struggling allies like Venezuela's Maduro or the Iranian regime. While China remains a major purchaser of discounted Iranian oil, it has proven unable to dictate events against US pressure. Experts describe China as a "hollow power." Trump's Iran Tariff Threat and China Trade Rift. Guest: ALAN TONELSON. President Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on any country trading with Iran significantly impacts China, which values this trade for political and symbolic reasons. China has already failed to meet its previous trade obligations, including soybean purchases and rare earth export licenses. Europe remains economically vulnerable. Electricity Costs, AI Demand, and Venezuela's Oil Reality. Guest: BUD WEINSTEIN. Rising US electricity prices, up 30-35% over five years, are driven by data center and AI growth alongside infrastructure underinvestment. Meanwhile, Venezuelan oil is deemed impractical for US demand due to high extraction costs and political instability. Rebuilding these fields would require massive, high-risk investments. Chinese Sinister Intentions in Cuba and Nicaragua. Guest: STEVE YATES. China maintains a significant presence in Cuba, utilizing the island for intelligence gathering and signals facilities targeted at the United States. As Venezuela's oil subsidies to Cuba potentially end, the island faces economic collapse. The US may utilize travel restrictions and economic pressure as leverage. The Risks of Venezuelan Oil and Soaring Copper Prices. Guest: SIMON CONSTABLE. American oil companies remain reluctant to invest in Venezuela due to the historical risk of nationalization and decayed infrastructure. In commodity markets, copper has reached an "astronomical" price of over $6 per pound, leading to a surge in theft from electronics and bridges globally. Artemis 2 Safety Concerns and SpaceX Dominance. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. The Artemis 2 manned mission faces controversy over unresolved Orion heat shield damage observed during previous tests. Meanwhile, SpaceX has secured a monopoly on recent Space Force contracts, signaling a shift toward prioritizing reliability and cost over redundancy. China has filed for 200,000 new satellites. Scouting Mars for Helicopters and the Search for Alien Life. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. Scientists are scouting landing sites for future Mars helicopters in areas containing near-surface ice, potentially for future Starship missions. Research suggests liquid water may have existed on Mars three billion years ago under protective ice sheets. Recent SETI results analyzed billions of data points without finding definitive alien signals. Venezuela's Power Vacuum and the Path Forward. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. Mary Kissel discusses the "unfinished" state of Venezuela following the removal of Maduro, characterizing the remaining leadership as "thugs" and "gangs" focused on drug money. She explores the roles of Cuba, regional neighbors like Colombia and Brazil, and the Vatican's new moral leadership in the region. Iran in Transition: Assessing a Regime on the Brink. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. John Batchelor and Mary Kissel analyze reports of Iran's potential collapse, citing internet blackouts and regime brutality. They discuss potential U.S. interventions, such as kinetic strikes or Starlinkaccess, and evaluate whether Reza Pahlavi is a credible transitional leader amidst concerns of the country breaking into ethnic factions. The Intellectual Factions of the "New Right". Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Peter Berkowitz outlines the fracturing of the "New Right" into factions like national conservatives and post-liberals. Referencing Laura K. Field's book, Furious Minds, he notes these groups often reject Lockeanprinciples in the Declaration of Independence. However, he distinguishes these intellectuals from typical, non-ideological Trump voters. The New Right's Radical Rejection of Traditional Republicanism. Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Berkowitz contrasts the New Right's desire for state-led social reform with the Republican Party's traditional focus on liberty and limited government. He discusses Michael Anton's views on the "right of revolution" and warns that attacking classical liberalism risks eroding essential protections against bigotry and persecution in America. Plunging Russian Oil Prices and the Impact of Global Sanctions. Guest: MICHAEL BERNSTAM. Russian oil prices are dropping significantly, with some major brands selling between $34 and $35 per barrel. Westernsanctions and global supply gluts allow buyers like China and India to extract massive discounts. Future stability in Iran could further increase competition, driving Russian revenues and taxes even lower. Pakistan's $1.5 Billion Arms Deal with Sudan and China's Strategic Influence. Guests: RICK FISHER and GORDON CHANG. Pakistan is nearing a deal to supply jets and drones to Sudan, likely funded by Saudi Arabia. China uses these transactions to establish alternative security structures in the Middle East. Experts suggest China prefers ongoing conflict over peace to maximize profits and regional influence. The Collapse of the Chinese Real Estate Market and Economic Stagnation. Guests: ANNE STEVENSON-YANG and GORDON CHANG. China's property sector faces a permanent downturn, with prices dropping 30–60% and enough vacant apartments to house billions. The government lacks the funds for a rescue. Xi Jinping'sfocus on high-tech is insufficient to replace real estate, which previously accounted for 25% of GDP. The China-Iran Partnership: Oil, Surveillance, and Regional Stability. Guest: JACK BURNHAM. Chinamaintains a pragmatic "partnership" with Iran, focused on extracting discounted oil. Beijing provides surveillance technology to help the Iranian regime suppress internal protests while officially calling for stability. Additionally, Chinese or Russian technology is suspected of disrupting Starlink satellites to hinder military communications.
