The U.S. Republican party today isn't what it used to be. But the evolution toward President Donald Trump's MAGA-ism began decades ago when William F. Buckley launched a revolution on the American right. As Buckley's official biographer Sam Tanenhaus tells Brian, the late conservative icon was a lot like Trump: a media-savvy wealthy elite who rebelled against the very establishment he came from. In his new book, Buckley: The Life and Revolution That Changed America, Tanenhaus lays out the improbable, fascinating story of the arch-Catholic New Englander who chummed around with hardcore leftists but transformed the GOP into a political powerhouse. In no small part by engaging Republicans in the culture war that eventually put Trump in the White House. (Recorded July 24, 2025) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report On today's show: In an interview with Laura Ingraham, JD Vance spews great replacement theory racism as he threatens to withhold federal funding for states that refuse to comply with the administration's Immigration Policy. Former economic advisor to Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Pancotti joins us to talk about how the Trump administration's policies are making back-to-school supplies prices rapidly rise. Maine Senate candidate and MR listener, Graham Platner joins us to discuss his campaign and platform. In the Fun Half: JD Vance, Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller are heckled relentlessly on their way to a press conference in the depths of Union Station in DC.

Episode 4709: The Original Populist Uprising; Brian Glenn Reports Live From Summit
Organizational leaders and managers understand the responsibility of every true disciple of Jesus to live the faith not just profess it. They understand that the populist paradigm of Christianity is confused about this truth. These leaders and managers recognize their responsibility to live soundly consistent with profound truth. And they recognize their responsibility to disciple their stakeholders according to this truth. As the stakeholders live the Christian faith well, they will work as Jesus did to produce an excellent value proposition that reflects Christian values and principles with integrity. And the fruit of faithfulness to truth will be a lifestyle of redemption that will be a positive testimony for Jesus and the good news of the kingdom of God.

A lot of hope is riding on the 2026 midterm elections, not that any of us are naive about efforts the Trump administration will make (in fact, already is making!) to ensure Republicans keep control of both houses of Congress. A compliant Congress, after all, has been a primary vehicle for the passage of the Project 2025 agenda. I'll gladly interview Congressional candidates who offer hope for real change in Washington. Today's conversation is with J.D. Scholten of Iowa. J.D., now an Iowa State legislator, decided to jump into the race when he saw Senator Joni Ernst's response to a constituent who complained that the Medicare cuts will cause people to die. She said, “Well, we all are going to die.” She then doubled down with a sarcastic apology that was pretty shocking even by today's low standards. Wow.I hope you enjoy my talk with J.D. Washington will be a much better place if Scholten win this race, and I can give a personal endorsement that he's a really, really, really good guy. Here's J.D's website. If you enjoy the interview, I hope you'll throw in some support. This is a public episode.

It's so funny how Trump has stopped even pretending to be a populist. As soon as he was re-elected he was just "Yeah okay so Israel comes first and forget everything I said about free speech and the Ukraine war is continuing and there will be no Epstein investigation, fuck you."

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on continued clashes in Serbia between police and anti-government protesters.
America is littered with lots of almost-states, which very nearly joined the Union in their own right, but for some reason did not. In today's episode we cover Vandalia, Transylvania, Westylvania, Franklin, and Nickajack. By investigating these almost-states, we delve into constitutional law on matters of succession, and tap into a centuries-old conflict between populist hillbillies and English lordlings. www.ThePoliticalOrphanage.com
Nick Cohen and historian James Hawes discuss wide range of political topics, focusing primarily on British politics, Brexit, and the rise of right-wing populism. Discussions included the historical context and current state of the Conservative Party, the challenges faced by Labour and the SNP, and the potential long-term implications of demographic changes on political landscapes. James Hawes argues that only liberal populists can counter the threat posed by Nigel Farage and Reform.Brexit's Long-Term Consequences and FailuresJames and Nick discusses the long-term implications and failures of Brexit, highlighting how Farage and other Brexit advocates had been promoting the idea for decades. Both criticise the lack of accountability and the continued influence of Brexit supporters despite the project's evident failures. James expressed optimism for a pro-remain populist leader to challenge Brexit advocates directly, rather than relying on complex economic arguments. He also shared a conversation with a top UK insider predicting the UK's collapse by 2029 due to Keir Starmer's inability to address the mess left by the Tories & BrexitThe Tory Party pickleJames & Nick discuss the historical and current dire state of the Conservative Party, highlighting its long history of populism and sectarianism. They argue that the party's true nature is being revealed through its alignment with Farage and its anti-migrant stance, which James compares to 19th-century Tory behaviour.Farage's Rise and threat to the UKThe discussion focuses on British politics, particularly Farage's rise and the potential for a shift towards far-right governance. James argues that Farage success in England will re-energise the SNP & inevitably speed up the UK's break-up. Both express concern about the working-class appeal of Farage's populism and discuss the perception of left-wing politicians as communists by some conservatives.Demographic Shifts and Political ImplicationsThe discussion focused on demographic challenges and political implications, with Nick and James exploring how an aging population and ironically more financially secure voters are more likely to vote for Farage and his brand of nut-job populist extremism, while younger generations face difficulties accessing housing and other opportunities. James argues that a more liberal -leftist brand of populism - with policies such as I.D. cards and German-like tests for trades people - might help counter the poison and certain chaos of Farageism.Read all about it!James Hawes @jameshawes2 is a historian and author of a novel and books such as including The Shortest History of Germany and The Shortest History on EnglandNick Cohen's @NichCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

Serbia's president is promising more arrests as protesters clash with police. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.
Zohran Mamdani's rise may look like a progressive triumph, but Rabbi Dunner warns it's a dangerous mirage. In this biting analysis, he exposes Mamdani as a modern-day Korach—charismatic, radical, and ultimately destructive. With sharp observation and Torah insight, Dunner calls out the populist façade threatening to turn New York into a city ruled by slogans, not solutions.
Trump Isn't the Disease—He's the Cold SoreWhat if the bull in the china shop is just what 70% of the country asked for?I don't know how “good” Trump is as a legislator. Doesn't matter. What is real is the immune response he triggered.Millions of Americans who felt cowed—ignored, belittled, scolded—saw in Trump a signal flare. Not because he's polished or wise. Because he's not. His chaos mirrors their rage. His vulgarity reflects their exhaustion.Voting for Trump isn't a policy decision—it's an act of sabotage. Not against America, but against the institutions that made them feel voiceless. DEI boards. HR departments. Elite universities. NPR accents. A system that told them they were wrong, evil, outdated—for existing.People call him “just loud and polarizing.” Sure. But so was punk rock. So was Malcolm X. Loudness isn't evil—it's often the tool of those who feel erased.This is cultural immunology. Trump's second term is the fever after the body detects an ideological infection. The first 150 days have seen DEI layoffs, NGO collapses, equity hiring freezes, even USAID gutted. Universities, once untouchable, are now battlefield wreckage.And now, United States v. Skrmetti. The Supreme Court—6-3—upheld Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. That decision didn't come from nowhere. It's the latest confirmation that, under Trump's renewed mandate, the gloves are off. Courts, lawmakers, and governors are done pretending to align with progressive orthodoxy. They're not afraid to act on the backlash.Trump isn't doing all this personally. He doesn't have to. He's the accelerant. The lit match. The cold sore. Visible proof that something deeper is erupting.And no—I'm not saying it's noble, kind, or just. Deportation is violent. Prison is dehumanizing. America has never promised kindness—only power and law.We confuse “rights” with moral grace. We imagine the Constitution as empathy. It's not. We've tolerated fascist-adjacent systems for decades—as long as it stayed bureaucratic and discreet. But now? Now it's on TV. Now it's named.Two million citizens are imprisoned in America today. No protests. No outcry. We call that justice. But detain a migrant, and suddenly it's a moral crisis. The distinction is political theater.And that's the point: Trump is just the symptom. Not the virus. Not the cause. He's a cold sore erupting from years of suppressed discontent. Populist nationalism is the actual condition. He's just the part that broke through the skin.He offers himself as the sin-eater—willing to be hated so others don't have to be. And that's why they love him. That's why they keep voting for him. Not because they believe he's good, but because he represents their refusal to submit.And let's be honest: his global peers—Putin and Netanyahu—play the same role. Daddy figures. Chaos agents. “Authoritarian” is no longer a slur. It's shorthand for finally, someone willing to act.No—I don't revere Trump. But I understand his function. And until we understand what made him inevitable, we're only going to see more of him.The left treats Trump voters like they're under conservatorship. Like Britney Spears: too unstable to manage their own choices. That smug, condescending moral management is exactly why those voters set fire to the garden. Better salt the earth than be told how to tend it.Trump is not the disease. He's just the cold sore.And America asked for him.
Yesterday's primary for the Democratic nomination for the NYC mayor's race yielded decisive success a young, progressive, populist candidate.On Today's Show:Zohran Mamdani, New York State assembly member (D, D-36, Queens), talks about his big win in last night's primary for New York City mayor.
Is capitalism really crushing the middle class—or are bad policies and worse narratives to blame?In this episode of the Let People Prosper Show, I'm joined by Dr. Norbert Michel, vice president and director of the Cato Institute's Center for Monetary and Fiscal Alternatives. We dig into his new book, Crushing Capitalism: How Populist Policies Are Threatening The American Dream.Norbert pulls back the curtain on the false story of a stagnating middle class, exposes the economic harms of tariffs and industrial policy, and makes the principled case for decentralization and free-market capitalism. This is a must-listen if you're tired of political narratives distorting economic reality—and want honest solutions that let people prosper.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

The Open Society as an Enemy: A critique of how free societies turned against themselves by J. McKenzie Alexander Nearly 80 years ago, Karl Popper gave a spirited philosophical defence of the Open Society in his two-volume work, The Open Society and Its Enemies. In this book, J. McKenzie Alexander argues that a new defence is urgently needed because, in the decades since the end of the Cold War, many of the values of the Open Society have come under threat once again. Populist agendas on both the left and right threaten to undermine fundamental principles that underpin liberal democracies, so that what were previously seen as virtues of the Open Society are now, by many people, seen as vices, dangers, or threats. The Open Society as an Enemy: A Critique of how Free Societies Turned Against Themselves interrogates four interconnected aspects of the Open Society: cosmopolitanism, transparency, the free exchange of ideas, and communitarianism. Each of these is analysed in depth, drawing out the implications for contemporary social questions such as the free movement of people, the erosion of privacy, no-platforming and the increased political and social polarisation that is fuelled by social media. In re-examining the consequences for all of us of these attacks on free societies, Alexander calls for resistance to the forces of reaction. But he also calls for the concept of the Open Society to be rehabilitated and advanced. In doing this, he argues, there is an opportunity to re-think the kind of society we want to create, and to ensure it is achievable and sustainable. This forensic defence of the core principles of the Open Society is an essential read for anyone wishing to understand some of the powerful social currents that have engulfed public debates in recent years, and what to do about them.

The Open Society as an Enemy: A critique of how free societies turned against themselves by J. McKenzie Alexander Nearly 80 years ago, Karl Popper gave a spirited philosophical defence of the Open Society in his two-volume work, The Open Society and Its Enemies. In this book, J. McKenzie Alexander argues that a new defence is urgently needed because, in the decades since the end of the Cold War, many of the values of the Open Society have come under threat once again. Populist agendas on both the left and right threaten to undermine fundamental principles that underpin liberal democracies, so that what were previously seen as virtues of the Open Society are now, by many people, seen as vices, dangers, or threats. The Open Society as an Enemy: A Critique of how Free Societies Turned Against Themselves interrogates four interconnected aspects of the Open Society: cosmopolitanism, transparency, the free exchange of ideas, and communitarianism. Each of these is analysed in depth, drawing out the implications for contemporary social questions such as the free movement of people, the erosion of privacy, no-platforming and the increased political and social polarisation that is fuelled by social media. In re-examining the consequences for all of us of these attacks on free societies, Alexander calls for resistance to the forces of reaction. But he also calls for the concept of the Open Society to be rehabilitated and advanced. In doing this, he argues, there is an opportunity to re-think the kind of society we want to create, and to ensure it is achievable and sustainable. This forensic defence of the core principles of the Open Society is an essential read for anyone wishing to understand some of the powerful social currents that have engulfed public debates in recent years, and what to do about them.

Tom Jessen en Maarten van Rossem ontrafelen het spel van populisten als Geert Wilders en Donald Trump.
Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures 2025: Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law: Continuing Conversations with Karen KnopWe will come together to celebrate the life and scholarship of our colleague and friend, Professor Karen Knop (1960-2022). Karen, until her untimely passing, was the Cecil A Wright Chair at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session III Private and Foreign Relations LawProfessor Anne Peters in conversation with Dr Roxana BanuChair: Professor Campbell McLachlanProfessor Peters's talk, 'Populism, Foreign Relations Law, and global order and justice', will discuss populist foreign relations law, which was Karen Knop's last project, at the university of Helsinki and as a Max Planck fellow. This talk will make the point that ongoing transformations of the concept of law itself, of legal procedures, and of legal substance cut across the ‘levels' of governance. And neither identitarian rhetoric, nor trade wars, nor border-fences will bring back an inter-state, Westphalian (or ‘Eastfalian') order. We are living in conditions of global law (and transnational) law. Populist heads of state both deploy and defy this law (concluding populist treaties or deals such as the German-Turkish refugee agreements; denouncing treaties such as ICSID or the Paris Agreement; using their war powers to escape domestic critique; raising tariffs to please their voter-base, and so on). At the same time, domestic, local and transnational actors (ranging from cities to courts to Indigenous peoples, or philanthro-capitalists) activate all kinds of law to resist populism. Such global lawfare destabilises world order but also has a transformative potential. New legal forms (especially informal agreements), new legal processes (such as public interest litigation before the ICJ) and new legal principles (such as One Health; Rectification/reparation; and the exposure of double standards) are responding to the big challenges for global order and justice: the cultural, the social, and the ecological challenge. Dr Banu's talk, 'Foreign Affairs, Self-Determination and Private International Law', begins with the point that foreign affairs questions are often thought to lie at the very edge of private international law, perhaps in the leftover corners of the historical alignment between private and public international law. Similarly, in part on the assumption that private international law settles conflicts of laws between already established states, there wouldn't appear to be any intuitive connection between nationalist or self-determination movements and the field of private international law.This talk will show that these assumptions are mistaken. By engaging with the historical development of the field from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, the talk will show that private international law has been deeply enmeshed in major geopolitical events generally, and in nationalist and self-determination movements, in particular. This enmeshment is neither accidental, nor exclusively modern. It is the inevitable result of some of private international law's main analytical and conceptual building blocks. Anne Peters is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law Heidelberg (Germany), and Professor at the universities of Heidelberg, Freie Universität Berlin and Basel (Switzerland). Roxana Banu is Associate Professor and Tutorial Fellow at the Faculty of Law and Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford.

Western elites have run into a recurring predicament over the past decade: In a democracy, you can't abolish the voters. Populist coalitions are on the march in Europe, and while they've yet to take over their respective governments like their American counterparts, they aren't going away. So Henry Olsen returns to the podcast to give us the scoop on everybody from the Romanians, who just had their delayed election, to the Poles and Hungarians who have some coming up, along with Reform UK and AfD. We also dig into Trump's so-far successful 'Dirty Harry' theory of justice and the limitations any politician's gotta know — including the transformational ones. Plus, Lileks and Hayward yap about the latest with Harvard, the "stochastic terrorism" that killed two young Jews in DC, and Original Sin...- Soundbite from this week's open: UK PM Kier Starmer pivots on immigration

Chris Cuomo reacts to Donald Trump's decision to accept the use of a luxury jet from Qatar, calling it the clearest proof yet that Trump's populist image is a lie. He explains why this isn't just about optics or foreign influence—it's a symbol of how power protects itself, and how the very figure meant to “drain the swamp” is embracing the perks of the establishment. From presidential ethics loopholes to foreign access, Cuomo breaks down how this one gesture reveals everything about who benefits from the system, who gets left behind, and why outrage only flows in one direction depending on whose team you're on.

Populist narratives are gaining traction across the political spectrum, claiming that free markets have failed the American middle class. Critics argue that trade, immigration, and technological change have hollowed out manufacturing jobs and created an economy that no longer works for most Americans.In Crushing Capitalism: How Populist Policies Are Threatening the American Dream, economist Norbert J. Michel challenges this bleak interpretation. Drawing on historical data and contemporary analysis, Michel argues that the American Dream is not dead—but that it is being threatened by a growing push toward industrial policy, economic restrictions, and government intervention.Americans today enjoy unprecedented levels of prosperity, upward mobility, and opportunity. Rather than retreat from free-market principles, Michel makes the case for preserving the institutions and economic freedoms that have long fueled American success.Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with the author, and the Washington Post's Megan McArdle, as we explore the myths shaping today's economic debates, the real story behind the rise of American prosperity, and the risks of moving away from market-driven solutions.
