En juin 1994, Émilie Tanay, 9 ans, est déposée par sa mère chez la famille de Jérôme Tocqueville, un camarade de classe. Ils vont assister ensemble à la kermesse de fin d'année. La petite Émilie est souffrante. La maman confie aux parents Tocqueville les médicaments qu'elle doit prendre : des sachets d'Exomuc et un flacon de Josacine. Brutalement, elle s'effondre et perd connaissance… Que s'est-il passé ? Dans cette affaire que Caroline Nogueras va vous raconter, il y a de l'injustice, des tromperies, et des  approximations de procédure... Enfin la vérité ? Depuis le premier jour de cette enquête, les gendarmes et les juges se basent sur un présupposé : Émilie est morte après avoir bu une cuillerée de Josacine empoisonnée. Et si c'était faux ? Le poison était-il vraiment dans l'antibiotique au moment où elle le prenait ? Et si la Josacine n'avait rien à voir là-dedans ? Et si Émilie avait ingéré autre chose dans la maison des Tocqueville ? Dans cet épisode, Caroline Nogueras reçoit Jean-Michel Dumay, ancien journaliste au Monde qui a publié Le Poison du doute en 2003.  Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Tiphaine Pioger Voix : Caroline Nogueras Learn more about your ad choices.

Ένας νεαρός Γάλλος φτάνει στην Αμερική το 1831. Υποτίθεται ότι ταξιδεύει για να μελετήσει τις φυλακές στην πραγματικότητα, ψάχνει το μέλλον της δημοκρατίας. Ο Αλεξίς ντε Τοκβίλ γυρίζει τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, μιλάει με δικαστές, αγρότες, εμπόρους, ιερείς. Και γράφει το πιο διορατικό βιβλίο για το πώς λειτουργεί μια κοινωνία ελεύθερων ανθρώπων. Εκεί όπου όλοι είναι ίσοι, αλλά κανείς δεν είναι ίδιος.Στο τέταρτο επεισόδιο των Βιβλίων της Ελευθερίας, περνάμε τον Ατλαντικό για να δούμε πώς η ελευθερία οργανώθηκε σε θεσμούς και γιατί, ακόμα και σήμερα, η Αμερική παραμένει το πιο επιτυχημένο πολιτικό πείραμα της νεωτερικότητας.ΣυντελεστέςΑφήγηση: Επιστήμη ΜπινάζηSound design: Δάφνη Γερογιάννη

«Il est le plus profond penseur de la démocratie», écrit l'invité du magazine IDÉES cette semaine, Françoise Mélonio, -spécialiste reconnue de Tocqueville, éditrice de ses textes dans la collection «Pléiade» - dans sa biographie magistrale de l'auteur de «La Démocratie en Amérique».  Loin des clichés ressassés et des aphorismes figés, elle redonne vie à un homme complexe, inquiet, parfois maladroit, mais toujours lucide face aux bouleversements de son temps, un homme de son siècle, le XIXè dont la pensée résonne plus que jamais aujourd'hui. Elle en parle avec passion au micro de Pierre-Édouard Deldique. Tocqueville est présenté comme un aristocrate enraciné, «une relique de l'ancien monde» tiraillé entre son héritage familial et son engagement dans la modernité démocratique. Françoise Mélonio explore les tensions entre son statut social et ses convictions politiques, révélant un penseur en perpétuel dialogue avec les paradoxes de son époque. Elle analyse aussi son parcours politique, conseiller général, député, éphémère ministre des Affaires étrangères. Le livre retrace ses voyages aux États-Unis, qui nourrissent son œuvre phare «De la démocratie en Amérique» (1835), et son analyse du passage de l'Ancien Régime à la Révolution française. Tocqueville apparaît comme un visionnaire, inquiet de l'individualisme croissant et du «despotisme doux», mais confiant dans les promesses de la liberté. Son analyse des mécanismes de la société américaine n'a rien perdu de sa pertinence. Françoise Mélonio met en lumière la force littéraire de Tocqueville, souvent éclipsée par son rôle d'analyste politique et souligne l'unité entre l'homme privé et l'acteur public, entre le penseur et l'écrivain. Ce livre s'impose déjà comme une référence incontournable pour comprendre Tocqueville au-delà de son image d'icône intellectuelle. Il parle autant aux historiens qu'aux citoyens soucieux de penser la démocratie contemporaine. Toute personne soucieuse de comprendre la crise démocratique du moment doit le lire. «J'ai pensé cent fois que si je dois laisser quelque chose de moi dans ce monde, ce sera bien plus par ce que j'aurais écrit que par ce que j'aurai fait», écrivait-il.   Programmation musicale - Robert Shaw chorale - Dere's No Hidin' Place Down Dere - Nassima - Solo instrumental au violon alto.

Frankie Solarik's sources of inspiration range from molecular gastronomist Ferran Adrià to Marco Moreira, the chef of Tocqueville, a fine-dining restaurant in New York City, where he was deemed too scruffy to work in the front of the house and was shunted into the kitchen. He's the author of “The Bar Chef: A Modern Approach to Cocktails,” published in 2013, and was a judge on the Netflix series "Drink Masters," whose artistic director, Tim Luke, also developed Prequel.Solarik recently discussed his career, his approach to mixology, and his advice for operators who want to open in New York.

Een voormalig staatshoofd dat wegens 'criminele samenzwering' vijf jaar het cachot in moet. Zelfs een hoger beroep zal hij vanuit de cel moeten voeren. Het is in een moderne Europese democratie een unicum en zelfs in Frankrijk - dat gewend is aan schandalen - een historisch moment. Wat is er aan de hand? Waar werd Nicolas Sarkozy voor veroordeeld? Hoe is deze zaak aan het rollen gebracht? Wat zijn de consequenties voor hemzelf, zijn partner Carla Bruni en voor zijn opvolger, president Emmanuel Macron? En is dit allemaal wel zo uitzonderlijk in het licht van de politieke geschiedenis van Frankrijk? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken er in. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Sarkozy werd aangeklaagd voor vier zaken. De rechter sprak hem vrij voor witwassen en corruptie, wegens gebrek aan bewijs. Maar 'criminele samenzwering' met Moammar Kadhafi’s regime in Libië kon hij toch niet afschuiven op anderen. Daarvoor is immers een chef nodig en daartoe strekte zelfs een telefoongesprek tussen de president en 'Le Guide' in Tripoli als bewijsstuk. De details zijn avontuurlijk en reiken diep in de historie van Frankrijk en de Levant. En opvallend genoeg: ze gaan terug naar Sarkozy's politieke loopbaan voordat hij staatshoofd werd. Dus naar de verwoede strijd om de opvolging in de schemering van de macht van zijn voorganger Jacques Chirac. Dat is een patroon, dat we veel vaker tegenkomen, zo blijkt. Bovenaan de top van de piramide van de Franse staat geraken, vereist ongekende machtswil, energie, brille, geldmiddelen, netwerken en gebrek aan scrupules. Sinds François I en Lodewijk XIV is de macht sterk gecentraliseerd en in veel opzichten absoluut. De revolutie en Napoleon versterkten die tendens veel meer dan dat ze gespreide democratische structuren introduceerden. De president is een gekozen monarch die rond nationale veiligheid en grandeur bijna ongeremd kan heersen. De verleidingen die macht te exploiteren kunnen maar heel weinigen weerstaan. Sarkozy's voorgangers deden dat soms met volle teugen. Als burgemeester van Parijs oefende Chirac al met het vastgoedimperium van de gemeente en de vele nepbanen die hij voor vertrouwelingen rond het stadhuis arrangeerde. Als president was hij de patroon van de boerenstand en botste in de Europese Raad op een eigenwijze ‘jeune ami néerlandais’. Zijn chique hobby als verzamelaar van verfijnde kunst uit Azië leverde hem wereldwijd nuttige relaties op en Parijs een museum van de buitencategorie. François Mitterrand was een visionair en geslepen machtsdier. Onder het mom van antiterrorisme zette hij in de kelder van zijn paleis een eigen beveiligingsteam aan het werk, buiten de regering om. Dit team moest zijn privégeheimen toedekken. Half Parijs werd daartoe afgeluisterd. Jean-Christophe Mitterrand was intussen op zakenreis en diplomatieke missies naar de cliëntenstaten in Afrika. 'Papamadit’ - Vader zei me - was zijn bijnaam. Net als de afluisteraars belandde hij vele jaren later in het gevang. Afrika werd ook de ondergang van Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Ook hij had daar voor zijn presidentschap op avontuurlijke wijze middelen verzameld voor de campagne. Met dictator Jean-Bédel Bokassa joeg hij niet alleen op groot wild en handig te verzilveren diamanten, maar ook op charmant gezelschap. En later natuurlijk op Lady Di! Een groot contrast bood Georges Pompidou. Deze bijna vergeten staatsman - alleen het Musée Pompidou herinnert nog aan hem - was een toonbeeld van integriteit en toewijding. Charles de Gaulle maakte hem zijn politieke rechterhand en hij was een dynamo van daadkracht en modernisering. Voor Europa was zijn - ook al vergeten - visionaire beleid van grote betekenis. Elk kind kende hem als samensteller van het schoolboek over literatuur en poëzie. Het verdonkeremanen van zijn tragische ziekte was de enige smet op zijn bewind. Charles de Gaulle was een buitengewoon sober militair en zijn vrome Madame Yvonne was dat niet minder. Hij betaalde de stroom voor zijn kleine appartement in het Élysée uit eigen zak. Brandschoon in zichzelf was zijn wereldwijde dekolonisatiepolitiek wel de oorsprong van de Franse monetaire, economische en militaire greep op regimes in Afrika en de Levant. En voor die tijd? Ook toen waren er vele kleurrijke en zakelijk schimmige staatshoofden en hun families en milieu. Meest exuberant was wel president Bonaparte van 1848. Aan het eind van zijn termijn van vier jaar ritselde hij een referendum dat hem uitriep tot keizer Napoleon III. Zijn bewind was corrupt en repressief. Zoals zijn oom wilde hij een wereldheerser zijn. Een fataal avontuur in Mexico kostte hem zijn reputatie, Frankrijk vele doden en gaf Otto von Bismarck de zekerheid dat Pruisen de Fransen kon verpletteren. *** Verder kijken Docu: Sarkozy-Kadhafi: de alliantie die Frankrijk schokte *** Verder luisteren 284 - Quatorze Juillet: komt onder Macron een einde aan De Gaulles Vijfde Republiek? https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/5b8ac743-7ba2-44a8-b9b9-55356d361817 492 – Macrons Europese atoombom https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/74f5b1d5-4824-482a-a504-704904c8b021 419 - Europa kán sterven - Emmanuel Macrons visie op onze toekomst https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/329dfa50-7d58-4642-b29f-febc346d5a3f 204 - 14 juli 2021: Op weg naar de Franse presidentsverkiezingen https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/bdd23916-3c94-4700-a37e-c5a63516f64b 124 - 95 jaar Jacques Delors https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/76440368-b14d-4e31-8f95-fe5c9ee88830 45 – De liefdesbrieven van François Mitterrand https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/db3f639d-61a3-49c9-875a-3fd0f9ce521a 527 - Politici en hun boek.

Dr. Bracy Bersnak, a professor of political science and economics at Christendom College, joins Dr. Harne for a discussion on Catholic social teaching and the historical context of intellectual conservatism after World War II. The conversation explores the tension between nationalism and globalization, while also contrasting US and European migration issues, and highlighting the importance of Alexis de Tocqueville's writings.

In this 7th installment of the God is Red series, Taylor Keen (Omaha / Cherokee) takes us deep into his book, Rediscovering Turtle Island. We discuss the idea of Indigenous civilization, Alexis De Tocqueville's view of the "pride of the native american," and why an Indigenous Cosmogenesis is so important for our world today--that the divine lives in all of us. Whether you're indigenous to the Land below your feet or not, these ancient stories offer profound perspective on what it means to live in right relationship with land, community, and Spirit. They remind us that mythology isn't just about preserving the past—it's about creating possibilities for a more beautiful future.Learn more about Taylor's work HERE.Purchase Rediscovering Turtle Island HERE.Learn more about Daniel's work HERE.

How should we punish criminals? In Impermissible Punishments, the Arthur Liman Professor of Law at Yale Law School, Judith Resnik, provides a historical narrative of punishment in European and American prisons. Tracing the evolution from Jeremy Bentham's utilitarian Panopticon through post-World War II human rights frameworks, Resnik argues that punishment systems developed as a transatlantic rather than uniquely American project. Her analysis reveals how prisoners themselves, not reformers, first articulated the concept of retained rights during detention. Resnik's new book chronicles a crucial divergence after the 1980s, when European systems maintained stronger human rights commitments while American prisons retreated from recognizing prisoners as rights-bearing individuals, thereby making prison a problem for its democracy. 1. Prison systems developed as a transatlantic project, not American innovation Punishment theories and practices emerged from shared Enlightenment thinking across Europe and America in the 1700s-1800s. Figures like Beccaria, Bentham, and Tocqueville created interconnected ideas about rational, purposeful punishment that crossed national boundaries.2. Prisoners, not reformers, first articulated the concept of retained rights While reformers debated how to punish effectively, it was people in detention themselves—like Winston Talley in Arkansas in 1965—who first argued they retained fundamental rights during incarceration. This represented a revolutionary shift from viewing prisoners as "civilly dead."3. World War II created the crucial turning point for prisoners' rights The horrors of concentration camps and fascist regimes made clear the dangers of treating any group as less than human. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and 1955 UN prison rules marked the formal recognition of prisoners as rights-bearing individuals.4. America and Europe diverged after the 1980s on prisoner treatment While both regions initially embraced prisoners' rights in the 1960s-70s, the U.S. retreated during the "war on crime" era. Europe maintained stronger human rights commitments, while America expanded punitive measures like solitary confinement and mass incarceration.5. Prison conditions reflect broader democratic health Resnik argues that how a society treats its most marginalized members—prisoners, immigrants, minorities—indicates the strength of its democratic institutions. Authoritarian treatment of any group threatens the rights of all citizens in a democratic system.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Charles Sumner is mainly known as the abolitionist statesman who suffered a brutal caning on the Senate floor by the proslavery congressman Preston Brooks in 1856. This violent episode has obscured Sumner's status as the most passionate champion of equal rights and multiracial democracy of his time. A friend of Alexis de Tocqueville, an ally of Frederick Douglass, and an adviser to Abraham Lincoln, Sumner helped the Union win the Civil War and pass into law the Emancipation Proclamation, the Thirteenth Amendment, the Freedmen's Bureau, and the Civil Rights Act of 1875. In his new book Charles Sumner: Conscience of a Nation, Zaakir Tameez presents Sumner as one of America's forgotten founding fathers, a constitutional visionary who helped to rewrite the post–Civil War Constitution and give birth to modern civil rights law. He also argues that Sumner was a gay man who battled with love and heartbreak at a time when homosexuality wasn't accepted. And he explores Sumner's critical partnerships with the nation's first generation of Black lawyers and civil rights leaders, whose legal contributions to Reconstruction have been overlooked for far too long. Join us as Tameez brings back to life one of America's most inspiring statesmen, whose formidable ideas remain relevant to a nation still divided over questions of race, democracy, and constitutional law.

Why is political rhetoric broken – and how can it be fixed? Words on Fire: Eloquence and Its Conditions (Cambridge University Press, 2022) returns to the origins of rhetoric to recover the central place of eloquence in political thought. Eloquence, for the orators of classical antiquity, emerged from rhetorical relationships that exposed both speaker and audience to risk. Through close readings of Cicero – and his predecessors, rivals, and successors – political theorist and former speechwriter Rob Goodman tracks the development of this ideal, in which speech is both spontaneous and stylized, and in which the pursuit of eloquence mitigates political inequalities. He goes on to trace the fierce disputes over Ciceronian speech in the modern world through the work of such figures as Burke, Macaulay, Tocqueville, and Schmitt, explaining how rhetorical risk-sharing has broken down. Words on Fire offers a powerful critique of today's political language – and shows how the struggle over the meaning of eloquence has shaped our world. The book was the finalist for the C.B. Macpherson Prize from the Canadian Political Science Association. Rob Goodman is an Associate Professor of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University. He was previously a postdoctoral researcher at McGill University and a Core Curriculum instructor at Columbia University. Before starting his doctoral research, he worked as a speechwriter for U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Honer and Senator Chris Dodd. Goodman has published widely in leading academic journals. He has also co-edited ‘Populism, Demagoguery, and Rhetoric in Historical Perspective' published by Oxford University Press, 2024. Goodman is also the author of ‘Not Here' (Simon & Schuster Canada, 2023), a book on democratic erosion in Canada and the United States, which was a finalist for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing from the Writers' Trust of Canada.

In this episode of the Pioneer Podcast, I discuss why I believe the Afrikaner Dream is still alive. I begin with observations from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, how Alexis de Tocqueville described America in 1835, and what the American Dream is today. I then focus on our own history—the history of the Afrikaners in South Africa—before turning to the present. Lastly, I also discuss the future and how young people identify with being Afrikaners, and I motivate why I say the Afrikaner Dream lives on.     If you would like to support this podcast, or know more about Lex Libertas, please visit our website - https://www.lexlibertas.org.za/

Today we're delighted to begin a new series of episodes under the Free Speech Forward banner, an exploration of free speech and its connection to the Declaration of Independence. This series is a celebration of the Declaration in honor of its upcoming anniversary, a project conducted in partnership by 1776 Forward, the Institute for Liberal Values, and the Free Society Coalition. Today's guest is Marsha Familaro Enright, an educational entrepreneur and thought leader in independent thinking and self-reliance. As the founder of Reliance College and the creator of The Great Connections Seminars, she's spent decades revolutionizing education to help young minds become leaders of their own lives, learning how to live in and advocate for a free society. Her programs aim to provide what Alexis de Tocqueville called "an apprenticeship of freedom."As we come up on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. founding, understanding its history, ideas, and impact is more crucial than ever and education plays a deep role. Aiming to open in the fall of 2026, Reliance College is a uniquely designed college program combining a rigorous liberal arts and sciences course of study with practical work in the student's area of professional interest. It is an expansion of the 16-year-old week-long The Great Connections Summer Seminar. Year after year since 2009, 75% of participants have testified that their lives have been transformed by this program. It is designed for young adults (ages 16-24) who want to develop independent thinking, leadership skills, and intellectual confidence. Hosted in Chicago, this immersive experience helps participants engage deeply with great ideas, sharpen critical thinking skills, and connect with like-minded peers—all in an exciting, discussion-driven learning environment.

The decline of marriage in America mirrors our national decline, and both stem from abandoning God's design. This powerful examination connects the dots between our spiritual foundation and societal health.Marriage forms the cornerstone of the family, which Reagan correctly identified as the cornerstone of our republic. When marriages falter, families crumble, and society follows. Research consistently demonstrates that children raised by two married biological parents experience better outcomes across all measurable metrics - from educational achievement and emotional stability to avoiding substance abuse and criminal behavior. Even adults benefit enormously from healthy marriages, experiencing better health, greater longevity, and deeper community connections.Yet modern attitudes have systematically undermined this vital institution. No-fault divorce removed accountability and incentives to preserve marriages. Feminist ideologies painted men as oppressors rather than partners and providers. The traditional roles that created mutual dependence and respect between husbands and wives have been dismissed as outdated or even oppressive. The result? Many men see marriage as all risk with little reward, while women pursue independence at the cost of familial stability.The solution isn't merely political. As evidenced throughout American history - from de Tocqueville's observations in 1831 that American courts wouldn't accept testimony from non-believers to the bold determination of Revolutionary-era Americans - our nation's strength has always flowed from its spiritual foundation. When we abandon God's design for marriage as outlined in Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 13, Ephesians 5, and 1 Peter 3, we shouldn't be surprised when both marriages and the nation falter.True restoration begins with personal virtue, daily prayer, and reading God's Word. No third party, charismatic leader, or policy proposal can save a people who have abandoned the biblical principles that once made them strong. Want to strengthen America? Start by strengthening your marriage according to God's design.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Sociocide is a chilling word. Coined by the Norwegian sociologist Johan Galtung, it means the deliberate destruction of a society's social infrastructure and capacity to function as a cohesive unit. According to Boston College sociologist Charles Derber, this kind of social suicide is now destroying America. In his latest book, Bonfire, Derber argues that America is slipping and sliding into a sociocide of broken social and political relations. Drawing on decades of research, Derber connects rising isolation—people eating alone, losing friends, living in "civic deserts"—to the rise of authoritarianism. When social bonds collapse, he warns, isolated individuals become vulnerable to strongman leaders who exploit their fear and loneliness.1. Sociocide is Social Suicide at the Societal Level"We're kind of breaking apart into individual atomized individuals who have no sense of real enduring connection with each other... When societies commit suicide, unravel, it breaks down the possibility of sort of a normal, humane community and life and opens the door to what we're facing today, which is an authoritarian sort of dictatorial kind of leader."2. Americans Are Becoming Dangerously Isolated"More and more people are eating all their meals alone. I've seen data that has up to 68% of people say they eat most of their meals alone. The numbers of people who claim to have close friends, the numbers of who get married or stay married. The number of people who feel connected at their workplace to other workers or to their employers is all on a downward path."3. Isolation Creates the Perfect Conditions for Authoritarianism"Hannah Arendt, de Tocqueville, many great thinkers have recognized that isolation and atomization is a foundation for authoritarianism and strong labor who capitalize on the fear and disconnection. When people are isolated, they look to strong leaders who will protect them."4. Trump Voters Aren't Choosing Death—They're Choosing Survival"The people with the lowest integration into society have the lowest relationships, eat more alone, have fewer friends. The Trump base is, at least according to the data that I've been able to collect, is the part of America most characterized by sociocide... They're scared economically, most of them say they're one paycheck away from poverty."5. The Solution Requires Coming Together in Sustained Ways"The answer to social side is coming together... People have to persevere in public protest together. I mean, you have to come together... I think it's only by trying to build in every phase of your life these connections that give you a sense of hope and caring and possibility." This is a public episode.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, it's time for a Levin surge to tell your member of Congress to vote yes for the big, beautiful bill. Yes, there are certain issues that matter to us all that are not addressed as we would wish, but there are many very important provisions in this bill that must be enacted from tax cuts and more resources for detaining and deporting criminal illegal aliens! There is a meniscal majority in the House. If there was a larger majority the outcome might be different, but IF is not reality. In ‘On Power' negative power is maintained through manipulative communication techniques like deception, fearmongering, and intimidation, designed to suppress independent thought and arouse prejudice. This approach aims to control populations by undermining morality and open democratic societies, denying citizens the information needed for informed decisions. Such language seeks to incite destructive actions that serve the demagogue's goals, corrupting the legitimate consent of the governed. This is exactly what's going on today with Democrats such as Rep Hakeem Jeffries, Rep Nancy Pelosi and Zohran Mamdani. The Democrat party sounds like a Stalinist party. Later, the district attorney is incompetent and immoral for striking a plea deal that allows Bryan Kohberger to live, despite the defense's claims of innocence and attempts to distract from the evidence. It's unjust that taxpayers must fund Kohberger's life in prison while good people lost their lives too soon. The legal system's handling of this case was utterly immoral. Also, in Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville warns that America's democracy could falter under the weight of a vast administrative state. He describes this state as an overreaching, paternalistic power that, while mild and providential, seeks to manage every aspect of citizens' lives—security, needs, pleasures, and property. We see this happening in NYC. Finally, Rep Jim Jordan calls in to explain that the big, beautiful bill is as good as it gets. You know this is a good bill because Democrats hate it.  This bill empowers Americans through tax cuts, including eliminating taxes on tips, promoting school choice, and implementing work requirements for welfare recipients.  This bill strengthens border security with more ICE agents, detention spaces, and funding for the wall.

What does eglatarianism give us? Alexis De Tocqueville answered this question for us back in the 1840's. Not only so, but he also attributed America's success to wives and mothers. Take a listen! Here is the text from De Tocqueville: (taken from his work, Democracy in America)There are people in Europe who, confounding together the different characteristics of the sexes, would make man and woman into beings not only equal but alike. They would give to both the same functions, impose on both the same duties, and grant to both the same rights; they would mix them in all things–their occupations, their pleasures, their business. It may readily be conceived that by thus attempting to make one sex equal to the other, both are degraded, and from so preposterous a medley of the works of nature nothing could ever result but weak men and disorderly women. The Americans have applied to the sexes the great principle of political economy which governs the manufacturers of our age, by carefully dividing the duties of man from those of woman in order that the great work of society may be the better carried on. In no country has such constant care been taken as in America to trace two clearly distinct lines of action for the two sexes and to make them keep pace one with the other, but in two pathways that are always different. American women never manage the outward concerns of the family or conduct a business or take a part in political life; nor are they, on the other hand, ever compelled to perform the rough labor of the fields or to make any of those laborious efforts which demand the exertion of physical strength. No families are so poor as to form an exception to this rule. If, on the one hand, an American woman cannot escape from the quiet circle of domestic employments, she is never forced, on the other, to go beyond it. Hence it is that the women of America, who often exhibit a masculine strength of understanding and a manly energy, generally preserve great delicacy of personal appearance and always retain the manners of women although they sometimes show that they have the hearts and minds of men. Nor have the Americans ever supposed that one consequence of democratic principles is the subversion of marital power or the confusion of the natural authorities in families. They hold that every association must have a head in order to accomplish its object, and that the natural head of the conjugal association is man. They do not therefore deny him the right of directing his partner, and they maintain that in the smaller association of husband and wife as well as in the great social community the object of democracy is to regulate and legalize the powers that are necessary, and not to subvert all power. This opinion is not peculiar to one sex and contested by the other; I never observed that the women of America consider conjugal authority as a fortunate usurpation of their rights, or that they thought themselves degraded by submitting to it. It appeared to me, on the contrary, that they attach a sort of pride to the voluntary surrender of their own will and make it their boast to bend themselves to the yoke, not to shake it off. Such, at least, is the feeling expressed by the most virtuous of their sex; the others are silent; and in the United States it is not the practice for a guilty wife to clamor for the rights of women while she is trampling on her own holiest duties… Thus the Americans do not think that man and woman have either the duty or the right to perform the same offices, but they show an equal regard for both their respective parts; and though their lot is different, they consider both of them as beings of equal value. They do not give to the courage of woman the same form or the same direction as to that of man, but they never doubt her courage; and if they hold that man and his partner ought not always to exercise their intellect and understanding in the same manner, they at least believe the understanding of the one to be as sound as that of the other, and her intellect to be as clear. Thus, then, while they have allowed the social inferiority of woman to continue, they have done all they could to raise her morally and intellectually to the level of man; and in this respect they appear to me to have excellently understood the true principle of democratic improvement. As for myself, I do not hesitate to avow that although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is in some respects one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked, now that I am drawing to the close of this work, in which I have spoken of so many important things done by the Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply: To the superiority of their women.

Why does a self-described “gay, atheistic Jewish guy” argue that America needs more Christianity right now? In this thought-provoking episode, Jonathan Rauch, author, Brookings Institution senior fellow, and newly appointed board member of Heterodox Academy, joins host John Tomasi for an insightful discussion recorded in Washington, D.C. Jonathan reflects on his new book, Cross Purposes, a contrarian apology for the Christian values that once helped sustain both American self-government and its universities. Drawing from personal narratives, constitutional history, and contemporary social fractures, Rauch argues that the decline of robust, virtue-based Christianity and the politicization of faith have contributed to polarization, anxiety, and a crisis of institutional trust. Jonathan and John discuss Tocqueville's analysis of individualism, the “God-shaped hole” now filled by less constructive substitutes, and what both faith and scholarship can contribute to a pluralistic republic. Join us for the conversation and explore practical and philosophical pathways to revive the transformative power of both religious and academic institutions. In This Episode:

In Chapter 20 of The Book of Trump, host Ghost welcomes Ashe in America for an incisive breakdown of how the true Deep State operates, not through cloak-and-dagger spy ops, but through captured bureaucracies, corrupt regulatory structures, and entrenched global audit networks. Ashe explains the Supreme Court's recent Chevron and Jarkesy rulings and what they mean for dismantling the administrative state's unchecked power. Drawing from her 16 years inside an SEC audit firm, Ashe offers a rare insider's look at the illusion of independence in the public trust system. The episode also unpacks the role of NGOs in election interference, the incestuous relationships between regulators and corporations, and the perversion of Tocqueville's vision of voluntary associations. Plus, Ashe shares a live update on Mike Lindell's MyPillow legal victory and teases his upcoming appearance on Culture of Change. This episode is a deep dive into the financial and regulatory structures that quietly sustain globalism under the guise of law and order.

John Petrides, portfolio manager at Tocqueville Asset Management, says that today's heightened volatility should have investors spreading their bets, "because the world is so unsettled right now that it's hard to have conviction to lean into one position, one asset class or one investment all on one side of the boat at one time." He says the market has ridden out a storm but isn't settled, and investors will want to extend their international investments to get good values, but will want to capitalize on premiums currently available in bonds, will want to diversify geopolitical risk with gold and will want to be selective on domestic stocks as they watch the tariff and economic situations play out. Plus journalist Sara Bongiorni, who wrote a book in 2007 called “A Year Without Made in China,” which chronicled her efforts to simply avoid goods made in China for 12 months, discusses how hard she thinks it will be for Americans to minimize the impact of tariff policies, noting that certain industries — from shoes to lamps to the materials needed to celebrate July 4 — are virtually impossible to buy from any place but China, and she notes that the efforts it takes to avoid Chinese goods also can be extreme, leaving consumers with no easy alternatives.

The SEC was created to protect investors—but is it now protecting incumbents instead? In this episode of Context, we explore the rise of unelected bureaucracies and their hostility to innovation, using crypto regulation as a lens into a larger democratic dysfunction.   From the roots of the administrative state to today's battle between blockchain pioneers and entrenched financial regulators, we explore how bureaucratic overreach can derail progress—and what it would take for America to rediscover its courage to build.   Topics include: • SEC vs. Ripple Labs and Coinbase • Regulatory capture and the death of oversight • Blockchain, XRP, and the Internet of Value • American innovation and bureaucratic stagnation   Support the show: patreon.com/bradcoleharris

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump deserves great credit for the trillions of dollars he's bringing into our country from foreign governments and overseas corporations! It's absolutely unprecedented! Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia included some of the lines used by the Soros-Koch isolationist crowd about neocons and interventionists, but the irony is that it was given in the context of a globalist outreach effort to make economic and military deals with and between Middle East monarchies/dictatorships and the biggest of America's globalists/internationalists/corporatists. Also, in On Power, there's a stark contrast between America's founding, rooted in a blend of faith and Enlightenment ideals, and the centralized control sought by political Islam, as highlighted by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformist. Jasser argues that Islamism, unlike the Judeo-Christian principles shaping America's Constitution, rejects individual liberty and enforces a monolithic faith, often tied to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agendas, as seen in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Drawing from Alexis de Tocqueville and Jasser's insights, Mark explores how Islamists, inspired by figures like Sayyid Qutb, aim to dismantle Western society, viewed as ignorant of divine guidance, to impose a rigid “pure Islam.” This clash of ideologies, coupled with the deceptive language of tyrannies like Islamism and Marxism, underscores the battle for liberty and the soul of nations. Later, neocons, many of whom were former Jewish Democrats, left the Democratic Party and adopted a hawkish foreign policy stance. While many are no longer alive, today, some avoid blaming Jews for pushing war, instead pointing to neocons as the instigators. Opposing Iran's nuclear ambitions is patriotism, not neoconservatism, due to Iran's terrorist activities and history of violating agreements. Finally, Ken Hartman, Founder & President of Our Community Salutes, calls in to discuss his national nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to recognizing and supporting high school seniors who plan to enlist in the U.S. Armed Services after graduation.  Their goal is to get 250,000 Americans to sign a thank you card to our nation's newest enlistees in the military.

How did America's universities lose the trust of the public, and what will it take to restore faith in higher education? In this episode, we are joined by Benjamin and Jenna Storey, renowned scholars, co-authors, and directors at the American Enterprise Institute's Program on the Future of the American University. Together with host John Tomasi, they undertake a searching examination of the forces eroding confidence in universities and offer a roadmap for rebuilding their legitimacy and civic purpose.The conversation draws on the Storeys' personal journeys through academia, they explore how universities have shifted away from their civic mission, the implications of declining viewpoint diversity, and the urgent need to re-envision liberal education in a polarized era. Their discussion critically engages with recent initiatives, including the founding of university-level Schools of Civic Thought, and emphasizes both the perils and promise of institutional reform amidst increasing political and public scrutiny.Read the report: “Civic: A Proposal for University Level Civic Education” (AEI, December 2023) In This Episode:
