Episode 4508: Building The Case For Economic Populism
You hear us chanting our mantra constantly: All politics is local. Local politics are the unsung heroes of grassroots movements, but they often don’t feel as exciting or impactful as the spectacles happening at the national level, so everyday people don’t get involved as much.
Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Drew and I take you through a whirlwind week where politics, world affairs, and tech innovation collide. We dissect Biden's shocking cancer diagnosis and what it means for the country, dig into Bernie Sanders' eyebrow-raising admission about the Democratic Party, and go deep on just how broken the government really is—and how (or if) it can ever be fixed. We tackle the big questions: What does it take to create a thriving middle class? Should we trust the government to spend more and do more, or do we need to completely rethink the machine? Are we living through a crisis of vision, where our leaders offer no North Star to inspire the country? And with news breaking on both the NIH's gain-of-function research and China's clampdown on gene editing, are we prepared for the next wave of scientific disruption?

You might be alarmed to learn that a little-known group in America is being treated inhumanely, denied even the most basic human rights.
In this episode, we dive into how rising populism is reshaping capitalism and democracy. With Stefan Hofrichter (AllianzGI) Hans-Jörg Naumer (Allianz GI)—authors of Capitalism, Populism and Democracy— and Carmen Hofmann (eabh) we unpack the economic roots of today's populist surge, its historical parallels, and what it means for markets, growth, and inequality.They connect past crises to current trends, revealing how financial history helps unpack the impact of past populist regimes on economic growth and investor behavior—lessons that matter now more than ever.

In this charged segment, the hosts tackle the consequences of aggressive green energy policies, spotlighting recent blackouts in Spain and Portugal as cautionary tales for America's future. They criticize Democrats for shutting down reliable energy sources without expanding capacity, warning of potential grid collapse. The conversation then shifts to alarming claims of international censorship, including the arrest of Telegram's CEO allegedly for refusing FBI demands to suppress conservative voices ahead of Romania's elections. Tying in revelations from John Solomon about U.S. taxpayer-funded efforts to demonetize conservative media, the hosts argue a coordinated global campaign is underway to suppress dissent, promote left-wing agendas, and erode democratic norms.
Right versus left. Democrat versus Republican. Liberal versus Conservative. These are the terms we are all too familiar with that practically serve to symbolize the political struggle between good and evil, freedom and tyranny, or big and small government. But if the last 50 years of politics have proven anything, it's that these labels mean shockingly little. Whether it's Reagan opening the nation's floodgates via amnesty under a Republican elephant or the supposedly anti-big corporation Democrats mandating an untested vaccine, both ideas functionally operate as little more than two sides of the same coin. The yard sign changes every four years, but the underlying assumptions and commitments to liberal democracy don't.Yet when you trace the intellectual formation of the American conservative identity you find that wasn't always the case. Something happened in the '60s and '70s that broke our connection to our English, Anglo, and Protestant past and made America into the degenerate war hawk it became in the '90s and early 2000s. Committed to a defense of Israel and esoteric readings of the Ancient Greek philosophers, influential academics like Leo Strauss and Harry Jaffa—alongside journalists like Irving Kristol—birthed a powerful new flavor of conservatism that took root in the American consciousness.This supposedly right-wing political thought had little differences with the left in its embrace of liberal democracy and equality, but served its purpose in turning America into a dominant foreign adversary alongside a compelling narrative about its embrace of creedal nationhood and the peoples of the world. But as the downstream effects of decades of universal suffrage and propositional nationhood come home to roost, neoconservatism offers shockingly little substance in the way of resistance or conserving our Christian European heritage. Populism and revolution are on the rise, and the strong gods are coming home.It's time to stop calling ourselves conservatives and falling into the same dialectical trap again and again. We are not neocons and we are not interested in the solutions of Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, and Mitch McConnell. Like the Founding Fathers who risked it all to forge a new, self-governed future, we also need real and potentially radical solutions to our dilemma. Cutting taxes by 10% and another war in the Middle East isn't going to do it.Tune in now as we discuss Leo Strauss, American conservatism, and the coming right-wing revolution.MINISTRY SPONSORS:Reece Fund.

Welcome to a vintage episode of the Brand X Podcast! Originally broadcast on May 18, 2016, this episode is packed with classic storytelling, candid conversations, and a dose of nostalgia. Hosts John Jamingo and Deuce kick things off with a look back at their week – including John's fun guest stint on another comedy podcast.This week, the guys get real about quitting jobs, tough boss decisions, and the complicated etiquette around giving notice – complete with personal tales from both sides of the employer-employee divide. They reminisce about the childhood thrill of chasing down the Mr. Softee ice cream truck, funny mailbox mishaps, and how those carefree days compare to raising children today.The conversation then takes a thought-provoking turn into the world of bullying—then versus now—as John and Deuce discuss old-school playground justice, the changing definition of bullying, and a new approach in Wisconsin that aims to hold parents accountable for their kids' bad behavior.Rounding out the episode is a lively discussion on the quirks of American politics, with theories about the Clintons, presidential primaries, and a few wild news stories—including Yoko Ono's surprising claim about Hillary Clinton. Along the way, they keep things light with sidebar stories, plenty of laughs, and genuine rapport that shows why Brand X is a listener favorite.Settle in for a trip down memory lane, some serious talk, and plenty of laughs as the Brand X crew brings you their unfiltered take on everything from quitting jobs to ice cream memories, bullying, and beyond.- [00:00:05] Introduction and vintage episode setup - [00:00:32] Banter about Seattle weather and Three is Comedy Podcast - [00:01:43] News of the week and podcast recording stories - [00:02:08] Nephew's dilemma about quitting a job without notice - [00:03:40] Employer/employee relationships and quitting etiquette - [00:05:10] Younger employees' attitudes toward work and references - [00:09:33] Managing employees and firing experiences - [00:09:58] Mr. Softee topic: Jingle composer's passing and ice cream truck memories - [00:13:13] Childhood ice cream stories and mailbox prank - [00:16:24] Mailman's reaction to melted banana split prank - [00:18:26] Discussion: Wisconsin fining parents for kids' bullying - [00:20:33] Bullying definitions and changes over time - [00:21:50] Is there an upside to bullying?

In this dark age of Trumpian rule, is there any glimmer of hope?
Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
British politics post-local elections resembles less a democracy in action and more a therapy session with occasional shouting. In this episode of Mid-Atlantic, the panel tears into the latest electoral results, with Reform UK bulldozing their way through local councils, Labour sleepwalking through governance, and the Tories doing their best impression of a political hospice.Dave Smith kicks things off with a cold, hard look at Reform UK's momentum. With council control and a surprise mayoral win in Lincolnshire, Reform is no longer on the fringes. Smith calls them a “galvanising force for the working class,” prompting an awkward reckoning from the left. Labour, once the natural home for these voters, is now seen as distant, managerial, and uninspiring. Steve O'Neill admits his past support for Labour's “do nothing and hope” Ming vase strategy was misplaced—an understatement.Tonye Altrade and Leah Brown grapple with Labour's post-landslide hangover. Starmer's white paper on immigration is dissected not just for its policies but for the gaping hole where vision should be. It's tough to sell a national direction when no one can tell what lane you're driving in. Leah Brown underlines the real crisis: Labour may be governing, but Reform is winning the emotional war by peddling a message of hope, however dubious the details.The Tories, according to Brown, are in survival mode. Talk of new leadership is already swirling, with Kemi Badenoch eyed as the phoenix to rise from electoral ashes. But internal division and reformist flirtations risk turning the party into political mulch. Meanwhile, the Lib Dems are cheerfully slicing up the Tory carcass in the South West and beyond. Steve O'Neill calls it “vibes-based campaigning,” and frankly, it's working. While Reform is tapping into disillusionment and Labour fumbles the bag it just won, the Lib Dems are slowly, quietly positioning themselves as the adults in the room—if only anyone knew who Ed Davey was.5 Quotes from the Episode“It's still like being crowned the tallest dwarf.” – on Lib Dems' electoral wins.“Populism doesn't equate to good governance.” – Leah Brown“Labour basically ran on being ‘not the Tories'. Now Reform is running on being ‘not Labour'.” – Dave Smith“Starmer behind a lectern won't fix Britain's sinking ship. He needs to be laying bricks on a building site.” – Royfield Brown“We knew what the last Tory government said it stood for. I have no idea what this one does.” – Steve O'Neill Hosted on Acast.

Populism seems to be the driving force of the new right's economic philosophy. The new right has said that they want to take on “libertarian” economics and “free market orthodoxy.” Others have said that “libertarian economics is the same thing as conservative economics” (i.e., laissez-faire, low tax, low regulation, etc.). David suggests the need of the hour is not just more precise definitions, but a truly robust understanding of conservative economics -- one that goes where libertarianism didn't, and goes where populism simply can't.

Sen. Josh Hawley spent his first time in office building up his reputation as an arch-conservative — and in the Jan. 6 insurrection linked himself to President Trump and the MAGA movement. But in several ways, the Missouri senator is also positioning himself as a champion of the working class.
Populism, Immigration, Farage & Why the Public Is Ignored. Farage #Starmer #Brexit #Politics #Immigration #Populism #UKNews Politicians only care about our opinions when there's an election—but the rest of the time, they ignore us. From Brexit and immigration to fuel allowance cuts and D-Day disrespect, voters feel unheard. Populism isn't a dirty word—it means listening to the people. Yet the political elite continue to talk down to us while pushing slick slogans and ignoring real-life struggles. Keir Starmer's approval is sinking. Rishi Sunak lost support over patriotism. The rise of Nigel Farage shows the people are looking for someone who actually listens. #Farage #Starmer #Brexit #Politics #Immigration #Populism #UKNews populism UK, politicians don't listen, Keir Starmer unpopular, Rishi Sunak D-Day, Nigel Farage 2024, UK politics rant, real talk politics, immigration UK 2025, Brexit aftermath, fuel allowance cut, political establishment vs people, working class politics, why Farage is popular, populism explained, Starmer vs Farage, British politics 2025, This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Like locusts swarming a wheat field, corporate lobbyists are all over our nation’s capital this spring, trying to get special favors, handouts, and insider deals from the White House huckster-in-chief.
Nigel Farage has the X Factor — but what does Keir Starmer actually have? NigelFarage #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #ReformUK #Trump As Reform UK shocks the political establishment and Farage dominates the online conversation, Starmer relies on media backing and vague policy wins like the “historic” US trade deal. But is it enough? In this video, Jon Gaunt breaks down: Farage's media mastery and viral appeal Starmer's recent missteps: Winter Fuel Allowance cuts, "Far Right" remarks, and more. The massive surge in Reform UK support. How legacy media treats both men very differently! Why Farage still connects — and whether Starmer ever really has? Today Donald Trump provided a masterclass in how to control the media with his press conference to announce his Trade deal with the UK. He was in complete control, he started 30 minutes late and kept the World's Press waiting. Then to cap it all he made the announcement on VE Day! He then got Starmer to appear via the internet. Trump was in complete control and loving it whereas Starmer was like a rabbit caught in the headlights and was completely uncomfortable. A master class. This is proof again why Nigel Farage will be the next Prime Minister of the UK and Starmer is toast.

In this episode of Peach Pundit, the hosts discuss various political themes, including the fatigue surrounding current political events, the dangers of populism, economic realities regarding trade and tariffs, legislative updates in Georgia, and the evolving landscape of candidates for upcoming elections. They emphasize the importance of informed political engagement and the need for fresh perspectives in leadership. In this episode, the hosts engage in a lively discussion about the political landscape in Georgia, focusing on potential candidates for upcoming elections, the dynamics within the Republican Party, and the implications of recent events. They speculate on Brian Kemp's future moves, the viability of JD Vance as a presidential candidate, and the impact of the NRA convention. The conversation also touches on the ethical considerations of party resources and community engagement. Takeaways The hosts express their exhaustion after a break, reflecting on the political climate. Populism is critiqued as a movement that fosters victimhood and grievance without real solutions. Economic discussions highlight the impact of tariffs on manufacturing jobs and the misconception surrounding trade deficits. Legislative updates include a controversial bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico, showcasing partisan divides. Candidates for State Senate District 21 are emerging, indicating a competitive political landscape. Stacey Abrams' potential candidacy raises concerns among Democrats about electability in future elections. The conversation touches on the need for fresh candidates in politics, moving away from nepotism and established political families. Democrats were hurt four years ago by indecision. Kemp's branding strategies could influence his campaign. Speculation around Kemp's potential Senate run is prevalent. The Republican Party faces challenges from populism. JD Vance's POTUS candidacy lacks support among voters. Kemp's viability as a presidential candidate may increase over time. The Georgia Republican Party is experiencing internal conflicts. Trust issues arise from the misuse of party resources. Community engagement is crucial for political success. The NRA convention highlights ongoing political debates.

Donald Trump has never been able to comprehend the plain fact that when a person says no, that actually means “NO.” His view is that his every desire should be met with surrender—even if that requires applying force.
How ironic: The most inefficient bureaucracy in government turns out to be Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency.”

The former senator Sherrod Brown, of Ohio, joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the tumult that Trump's tariffs have inflicted on the global economy, and why progressives should not merely oppose the President's trade policy but offer a clear alternative. “I've heard economists talk about these tariffs upending the global order on trade. Well, to a lot of workers, anything's better than the global order on trade. It's our policy problem as a country, and it's our political problem for Democrats,” Brown says. They also discuss his latest project, The Dignity of Work Institute, a think tank dedicated to advocacy for the working class.
