The only truly functioning high-speed rail in America today is the Trump Train, and not even the prospect of a 200% tariff on the core commodity of this podcast—single malt scotch whiskies—can dampen the 180-proof spirits of Lucretia, host of this week's episode.But we still manage to get in some disagreements about how to understand what is going on, especially with the Ukraine War endgame. In fact, we got John Yoo to out himself as the OGNC ("original gangsta neo-con") on the question of whether American foreign policy has been overly dominated by Wilsonian internationalism for the last century, or whether it has been more realist. John was responding to my two Substack articles (here and here) on different aspects how idealism and realism play out in the Ukraine matter, disliking both. Lucretia responded with a great harumph.There was much less harumphing and more huzzahing for the humiliation and confusion of the Democrats this week, culminating in the Dem surrender over the budget continuing resolution. About the confusion of federal judges (this is putting the matter charitably) trying to block some of Trump's moves, John sees hope for optimism that these roadblocks will be overcome, while debunking the claim that Trump is causing a "constitutional crisis." (Link coming when his latest article goes live.) Steve merely longs for the good old days of Watergate.
Jonah Goldberg came to the Remnant studio exhausted by his nightshift at the cable news factory, so he enlisted one Brother Chris Stirewalt to save the show once again. Jonah and Chris analyze Trump's Tuesday night address to Congress from all angles, including but not limited to the Democrat's shenanigans and the reviled Wilsonian origins of the State of the Union address. Show Notes: —Brother Stirewalt for The Hill: “Separating Show and Substance as Trump Addresses Congress” The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.

Chris delivers a fiery analysis of Trump's radical foreign policy proposals that upend 20th-century norms. He discusses how America's traditional role as the global policeman is under threat, urging Europe to build its own defense while rethinking strategic assets like the Panama Canal and Greenland. Markowski challenges the outdated Wilsonian ideals and calls on European nations to stop relying on U.S. leadership. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
Rick Wilson -- longtime GOP strategist; outspoken Never Trumper; bestselling author; co-founder of The Lincoln Project; FLORIDA MAN! -- on Election 2024, the past, present and future of the Republican Party and the near impossibility of removing candidate Joe Biden this late in the cycle.
Besides the Wilsonian internationalists, who wanted the Treaty and Covenant ratified unchanged, there were those who wanted to add so-called reservations to the treaties: conditions to U.S. acceptance and participation in the League that the other signatories would have to accept.

Some on the Right are claiming that we need to be pacifist in the face of Iranian aggression lest we risk a return to 20 years of neocon, Wilsonian interventionism. We're joined today by Kyle Shideler of the Center for Security Policy, who shows us how these voices on the Right are misjudging the Biden administration. Biden has no intention of starting a war with Iran and is in fact using our soldiers as hostages so when they inevitably get attacked, he can blame Israel. He explains how simply returning to Trump-era alliances would restore deterrent without sucking us into a painful war. Also, I go through some of the early congressional primaries and urge listeners to vote against incumbents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In my talk with Barry Gewen on his 2020 book, The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World (W. W. Norton, 2020), we explore the disparate influences that shaped Kissinger as both an intellectual and as a practitioner of power. Our conversation touches on Kissinger's upbringing in a German-Jewish community in Bavaria at the time of Hitler's rise to power and pivots to an understanding of Kissinger's Realism as his pessimistic yet unwavering approach to foreign affairs and exigencies like the balance of power. In his committed opposition to the Wilsonian creed—the missionary idea of America's role in the world—Kissinger was decidedly in the camp of the political scientist Hans Morgenthau, a fellow German-Jewish immigrant and mentor of sorts. Barry Gewen, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review, deserves to be heard, and his book deserves to be read, for his judicious, textured appraisal of Kissinger. His Kissinger is neither a war criminal nor a diplomatic magician but one guided by the stern maxim that order is prior to justice in the affairs of an ever-perilous world. Our talk closes with Gewen's assessment of Kissinger's thinking on the present-day foreign-policy challenges for the U.S. of China and the Russia-Ukraine war. Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and many other publications. His latest book, Putin's Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia (Columbia Global Reports) will be published in January. Learn more about your ad choices.

In his committed opposition to the Wilsonian creed—the missionary idea of America's role in the world—Kissinger was decidedly in the camp of the political scientist Hans Morgenthau, a fellow German-Jewish immigrant and mentor of sorts.

His Kissinger is neither a war criminal nor a diplomatic magician but one guided by the stern maxim that order is prior to justice in the affairs of an ever-perilous world.

For decades, the public's approval ratings for Congress have been abysmal. Even members of Congress struggle to justify and defend the value of their institution — or even seek applause by attacking and denigrating it. And yet the Framers intended the legislature to be the pillar of the American constitutional system, allocating it more power and responsibility than any other branch of government. How did Congress get so dysfunctional — and unpopular? Why did it devolve so many of its powers to the executive and judicial branches? And what are the costs to America when the country lacks a properly functioning Congress? Philip Wallach ponders these questions in his valuable new book, Why Congress. He is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. and served as a fellow with the House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress in 2019. His inside view of congressional attempts at self-reform, combined with his deep scholarship and analysis of the history and workings of Congress, gives urgency to his case for understanding the critical importance of the institution and its need for reform. However much Americans disagree with other, he writes, “we must find ways to accommodate each other in addressing the biggest problems of the day, and Congress is the place we must do it...Our legislature's diminishment impairs our ability to make good policy. Even more importantly, it threatens the vitality of our politics, contributing to the pervasive sense that our nation is coming apart at the seams.” In this podcast interview, Wallach discusses the importance of what he calls the “manyness” of our republic in James Madison's vision of representation and factionalism in American politics and how it conflicts with what he calls the Wilsonian impulse to make Congress a more orderly and less independent institution in which the big questions are decided within ideologically uniform and disciplined political parties. He describes the problems that arise when both left and right prefer a parliamentary system, with a much more powerful chief executive, to our constitutional order as it actually exists. He goes through the history of Congress' involvement with the civil rights struggle in the 1960s and why he thinks the filibuster was useful in that historic drama. And he analyzes the rise of today's leadership-driven Congress, in which rank-and-file legislators have little meaningful involvement with shaping legislative agendas, and what the prospects might be for significant reform.

The legitimacy of a US-led global order has been taken for granted by many in political, diplomatic and intellectual circles in the United States and even beyond. Yet this narrative of a postwar liberal order sits uncomfortably with a long history of imperial expansion and settler-colonial practices that the US has pursued over the centuries. Host Ben Zdencanovic sits down with Aziz Rana, a scholar of US constitutionalism, race, and empire at Cornell Law School, to discuss the politics of racial and cultural hierarchy that have been integral to American engagement with the world. From the days of frontier expansion and Wilsonian internationalism to the postwar push for modernization and a ‘rules-based-order', arguments for American primacy have been deeply informed by ideas and practices of supremacy. How has America's imperial stance abroad impacted its domestic politics? Is there any prospect of forging an inclusive and progressive American foreign policy? And why must a politics of anti-imperialism require an equally strong commitment to anti-authoritarianism as well? These are the questions that guide this conversation between two scholars of the US in the world.
As we saw in our last episode, the foundation of European society after World War I was supposed to be national self-determination. All peoples would be free to form their own national states, and nations would treat each other equally, eschewing the competitiveness of Great Power politics that had lead directly to the war. Yet as this episode demonstrates, far from achieving lasting peace, the years immediately after World War I were filled with more war and violence across most of Europe. Topics covered in the episode include the fundamental problem of measuring nationality (4:14), the Polish-Ukrainian War of 1918-19 (9:20), the Irish War of Independence (22:53), Violence in the early Weimar Republic (28:25), Hungary and Bela Kun (34:56) and the Spanish Flu (39:50).
In January 1918, American President Woodrow Wilson laid out his vision for a durable peace settlement that would end the Great War. Abandoning traditional diplomatic practices that called on losing powers to make territorial concessions to the victors, Wilson's vision suggested a new Europe built on mutual respect and democratic principles. In doing so, his idealism gave the Entente war efforts renewed purpose, and laid the foundations for the postwar era. But how effective would Wilson's ideas be? This episode examines the reception of Wilson's ideas and the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, noting some of the ways his ideals salvaged 19th century European society. We'll also discuss some of the conference's failures, including the treaties it produced.

On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked a joint session of Congress for a declaration of war against Germany. Wilson declared, "The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty." In the century since, most U.S. presidents have echoed Wilson to one degree or another. And, especially in the years after the Cold War, Americans took it for granted that their nation must promote or defend democracy across the globe because, with Soviet Communism relegated to the dustbin of history, people everywhere would naturally gravitate to freedom and capitalism. Today, it has become an axiom among many public intellectuals and political figures that fundamental freedoms are on the line at home and abroad, from Ukraine to Taiwan. President Joseph R. Biden frequently frames U.S. foreign policy in terms of a global confrontation between democracy and autocracy. In this episode, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy explores the origins of the Wilsonian idea that now permeates our basic political thinking. We may be getting Wilson wrong in one important respect. Declaring that the “world must be made safe for democracy” is not the same as saying “we must make the world democratic.”

This is the thirty-fourth episode in Eric Ludy's epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode investigates Woodrow Wilson's peace proposals at the conclusion of 1916. Proposing what he termed, “Peace without victory,” he attempted to work out a peace deal in which neither side could claim victory. However, neither side could fathom (after losing millions of men in the conflict) justifying such an agreement. In staring at the circumstances facing the world in 1916, one could conclude it impossible for peace to be gained. And the same would have been said two thousand years ago in staring at the breach between man and God. But God made a way. And it wasn't through the Wilsonian path of a “peace without victory” but rather it was by means of a “peace through victory”.

J Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, discusses the groundbreaking decision by the Supreme Court to take up a North Carolina election cases where the Court will be looking at whether the Constitution gives the state legislatures the authority to set the rules for their elections in North Carolina. Adams, a former Justice Department voting rights official, says that this Supreme Court session has shown that the court has “exasperation with bureaucracy,” and the “Wilsonian idea that the elites know best how to be technocrats to govern American life.” Saying that the recent Court decisions and opinions show “finally you see judges who don't give a rip about what the elites think,” “the big story is the regular people finally have a voice in the Supreme Court instead of the elites.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(Bonus) The Fourteen Points was a statement of principles for peace that was to be used for peace negotiations in order to end World War I. The principles were outlined in a January 8, 1918 speech on war aims and peace terms to the United States Congress by President Woodrow Wilson. However, his main Allied colleagues (Georges Clemenceau of France, David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, and Vittorio Orlando of Italy) were skeptical of the applicability of Wilsonian idealism.
The US embodies the idea of choice and self-determination like no other experiment in governance. And yet, most Americans don't appreciate the rights bestowed by our founding documents. In fact, the progressive elites in power today and their neo-Marxist ideology threaten the very principles America is founded upon. Joel Bowman is a libertarian writer and cryptocurrency enthusiast. Born and raised on the Gold Coast of Australia, Joel emigrated permanently to ‘nowhere in particular' in 2000, and he has been traveling the world ever since. On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Joel joins me to discuss his debut novel Morris, Alive, describing how it offers an outsider's perspective on the idea of America and fights against the Marxist ideology common in contemporary arts and literary fiction. Joel explains how President Wilson undermined the fundamental beliefs of the Founding Fathers and explores how far today's neo-Wilsonian progressives have drifted from the principles of their spiritual heroes of the 1960's. Listen in for Joel's insight on exactly what's wrong with Marxism and find out what we can do to counter the current attack on our founding principles being staged by progressive elites. Key Takeaways How Morris, Alive offers an outsider's perspective on the idea of America The themes of geographical and intellectual frontiersmanship among the giants of American letters How the US embodies the idea of choice and self-determination like no other experiment in governance The attack on the founding principles of America by progressive elites Why contemporary arts and literary fiction are owned by neo-Marxists Antonio Gramsci's long Marxist march through academia and US political institutions How a Marxist worldview leads to conflict How President Woodrow Wilson's fundamental beliefs ran contrary to that of the Founding Fathers How far today's neo-Wilsonian progressives have drifted from the principles of their spiritual heroes of the 1960's Connect with Joel Bowman Joel on Twitter Morris, Alive by Joel Bowman ‘Center Cannot Hold: The Second Coming of Progressivism' in The Modern Flaneur Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

On this episode of Categorical Imperatives we discuss the importance of Federalism as a mainstay of our government's checks and balances. Why calls for electoral reform from particular political party every election cycle because they are just sore losers, is more than selfish. Why it is a short-sighted grasp for power that they demand without considering any of the consequences of the changes they propose or the merits of the structure they want to destroy. We will be going over and article from Vox.com about why they say they think the Senate should have proportional representation. Why they are no good liars who are really just pushing for a scheme of national government that would do far more than what they claim they want, which is "a better balance of power between the states and the people". They want to do away with States entirely. replace our legislature with a single national legislature that would be nothing more than a rubber stamp for the President's wishes.

The Didactic Mind podcast is back to something approaching a sort-of-regular schedule again, and this week's episode is all about the sudden and quite dramatic collapse of America's failed Syracuse Expedition in Afghanistan. I talk about the roots of its failure, the lessons to be learned (which of course the American military will utterly fail to heed), the folly and stupidity and arrogance of Wilsonian interventionism, and the likely consequences for the Pax Americana. This episode is a bit shorter than usual, due to time constraints on my part, but hopefully by next week we will be back up to a full-length episode.

In Rotary International and the Selling of American Capitalism (Harvard University Press, 2021), Professor Brendan Goff traces the history of Rotary International from its origins in Chicago in 1905 to its rapid growth during the first four decades of the twentieth century. In doing so, Goff places U.S. power at the center of his analysis. He argues that Rotary International was able to succeed where Wilsonian internationalism was not by strategically distancing itself from the state. Rotarians advanced their own “civic internationalism” that emphasized the organization's non-profit status, identify as a non-governmental organization, and commitment to the community-minded principle of “service above self.” This version of internationalism, and the rhetoric that supported it, allowed Rotary International to deflect criticisms of mere boosterism or intervention by other means. Goff's nuanced and critical analysis of Rotary International's history provides a new way of thinking about the role of U.S. cities in the expansion of U.S capital and consumer culture abroad, the many inflections of interwar internationalism, and the use of racialized power in creating and structuring connections between businesspeople in the United States and the rest of the world.

In this episode, we are joined by fellow podcaster Wesley Livesay of History of the Great War and History of the Second World War to discuss one of the most intriguing, historically important, yet oft-forgotten pieces of interwar history: Allied intervention during the Russian Civil War. With his help, we take a look at the reasons why the Allied powers thought it important to intervene: From Bolshevism being a new and unpredictable form of politics in the world, Wilsonian ideals about the spread of democracy, Japanese expansion in Eastern Russia, to the amazing story of a marooned army of more than 60,000 Czech troops fighting their way across an entire continent East to Vladivostok... to get back to Czechoslovakia. We also discuss how important the foreign intervention in Russia was on world politics for years to come, why it isn't well-remembered, and why it, along with so many other pieces of interwar history should be. A huge thanks to Wesley for coming on the show! Check out his podcast, History of the Second World War here: http://historyofthesecondworldwar.com/ Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/historysmost Our Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/729271677922830 Thank you to our Executive Producers: Marc Frost, Tom McCool, Justus Ebel, Jeremy Marcoux, and Tony Turrin, to all our Patrons, and to all our listeners.
As regular listeners know, we never tire of beating up on Progressivism—both the old kind and today’s high-octane version—and we especially like to beat up on Woodrow Wilson. Most of what we know about Wilson’s perfidy comes from the ur-text of Wilson criticism, Ronald J. Pestritto’s Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism from 2005. R.J. (as he is known to his friends), is out this week with a terrific new book that builds on and vastly extends his previous work, America Transformed: The Rise and Legacy of American Progressivism, just out this week from our friends at Encounter Books. This book deserves to take its place as the pre-eminent work that surveys the whole scene, bringing in new themes of the role of the “Social Gospel,” imperialism, the lasting effect of Wilsonian internationalism on American foreign policy, and many other worthy threads. In particular, the closing chapters of the book look at the ways in which radical progressive ideology informs the “administrative state” running amok in Washington. Ronald J. Pestritto is Graduate Dean and Professor of Politics at Hillsdale College, where he teaches political philosophy, American political thought, and American politics, and holds the Charles and Lucia Shipley Chair in the American Constitution. And since this episode is about Progressivism, I decided we needed to feature some Progressive rock as the exit bumper music (though some people think “Progressive rock” is actually conservative in some respects), so I chose a deliberately obscure tune to see if anyone recognizes it.
The modern conservative movement born in the 1950s had two main objects: It was anti-Communist, and anti-New Deal. Lately, however, some conservatives have warmed up to both FDR and the New Deal, which has to have Robert Taft rolling over in his grave—and maybe William F. Buckley, Jr. too. Conrad Black, an esteemed man of the right, has long championed FDR as a “champion of freedom” (the subtitle of his ginormous—and excellent—biography of FDR), but others on the Trumpian right have lately been thinking that perhaps FDR and the New Deal might be useable for conservative purposes today. “Lucretia” and I aren’t so sure, and so in a return to our seminar format, we walk through one of Roosevelt’s most revealing speeches—the “Commonwealth Club Address” of September 1932, which we think reveals FDR to be a very clever and insidious preserver of Woodrow Wilson’s Progressivism, but the more artful FDR appears to be preserving the American Founding while re-interpreting it along Wilsonian lines. It was one of the great Brinks jobs in American politics, whose effects are still very very much with us today. (Footnote: For all of his admiration for FDR, Conrad Black gets the Commonwealth Club speech right in his FDR biography, and it is significant that most of the sympathetic liberal FDR biographers skip over this important speech entirely, because they don’t take ideas seriously.) Then, along with some current whisky news, we review briefly Ibram X. Kendi’s struggle to define racism. It isn’t pretty. In fact the circular logic of his answer will leave you dizzy, even without a second and third whisky. Cheers!
This is a Special Series on Third World Nationalism. In the wake of a rise in nationalism around the world, and its general condemnation by liberals and the left, in addition to the rise of China and Russia, we have put together this series on Third World Nationalism to nuance the present discourse on nationalism, note its centrality to anti-imperial, anti-colonial politics around the world, the reconfiguration of global power, and its inextricability from mainstream politics in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Today my guest is Erez Manela, author of The Wilsonian Moment: Self-Determination and the International Origins of Anticolonial Nationalism (Oxford UP, 2009). During the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, while key decisions were debated by the victorious Allied powers, a multitude of smaller nations and colonies held their breath, waiting to see how their fates would be decided. President Woodrow Wilson, in his Fourteen Points, had called for "a free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims," giving equal weight would be given to the opinions of the colonized peoples and the colonial powers. Among those nations now paying close attention to Wilson's words and actions were the budding nationalist leaders of four disparate non-Western societies--Egypt, India, China, and Korea. That spring, Wilson's words would help ignite political upheavals in all four of these countries. This book is the first to place the 1919 Revolution in Egypt, the Rowlatt Satyagraha in India, the May Fourth movement in China, and the March First uprising in Korea in the context of a broader "Wilsonian moment" that challenged the existing international order. Using primary source material from America, Europe, and Asia, historian Erez Manela tells the story of how emerging nationalist movements appropriated Wilsonian language and adapted it to their own local culture and politics as they launched into action on the international stage. The rapid disintegration of the Wilsonian promise left a legacy of disillusionment and facilitated the spread of revisionist ideologies and movements in these societies; future leaders of Third World liberation movements--Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Jawaharlal Nehru, among others--were profoundly shaped by their experiences at the time. The importance of the Paris Peace Conference and Wilson's influence on international affairs far from the battlefields of Europe cannot be underestimated. Now, for the first time, we can clearly see just how the events played out at Versailles sparked a wave of nationalism that is still resonating globally today. Kirk Meighoo is a TV and podcast host, former university lecturer, author and former Senator in Trinidad and Tobago. He hosts his own podcast, Independent Thought & Freedom, where he interviews some of the most interesting people from around the world who are shaking up politics, economics, society and ideas.

In this episode of Horns of a Dilemma, Michael Kimmage, professor and department chair at the Department of History at Catholic University in Washington D.C., discusses his book, The Abandonment of the West: The History of an Idea in American Foreign Policy. Kimmage asserts that the idea of the “West” — a set of shared values that he argues revolve around liberty and self-determination — can be traced both to Wilsonian idealism, as well as to profound developments at the end of World War II.

The boys reflect on George Will's conversation with Ben Shapiro re: Will's new book, The Conservative Sensibility. Will gives an interesting contrast between the Madisonian and Wilsonian views of American politics, and what constitutes progress. Will believes the essence of the conservative attitude is to embrace the chaos and confusion of life and try to slowly muddle through -- as opposed to the progressive view, which wants to organize and bring life to heel. Will is also not a believer, which raised some interesting points of conversation with Shapiro, who takes his Jewish faith very seriously.

American interventions in the Middle East over the past fifty years have been a popular subject for scholars, yet the first major American diplomatic foray into the region occurred a century ago. The King-Crane Commission of 1919, sent to the Middle East by Woodrow Wilson in order to ascertain the political desires of the (no longer) Ottoman people, generated a moment of intense political debate and deliberation in the region. After returning from the Ottoman lands, the Commission made recommendations that did not align with the desires of the British, French, or the people of the region, yet these discounted proposals embodied what a Wilsonian Middle East may have resembled. This lecture will evaluate the history of this oft-forgotten Commission, the political moment that it spawned, and the legacy of Woodrow Wilson’s stillborn global vision. About the speaker: Dr Andrew Patrick is an Assistant Professor of History at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee (USA). His research focuses on American involvement in the Middle East, particularly during the World War I era. Patrick’s publications include America’s Forgotten Middle East Initiative: The King-Crane Commission of 1919 (London: IB Tauris, 2015) and “Woodrow Wilson, the Ottomans, and World War I” Diplomatic History (v. 42 no. 5, 2018). His articles have also appeared in Middle Eastern Studies, First World War Studies, and the Jerusalem Quarterly. Patrick’s current research involves the 19th and early 20th century entry of American oil companies into the region, as well as the American role in the post-war negotiations at Lausanne. He received his PhD in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Manchester in 2011, and has also taught in Turkey and Abu Dhabi.

How did a combination of Wilsonian liberal internationalism and British colonial ideas about civilisation intersect with Britain's objectives in expanding its territories after the First World War? The Mandate system for administering German and Ottoman colonies was a largely British project, influenced by American internationalism and resented by the French.

For about 18 months after World War I there was what historian Erez Manela calls the "Wilsonian moment"--a brief period when President Woodrow Wilson led people around the world to believe that he would champion a new world order of self-determination and rights for small nations. How did this actually play out, particularly in the case of Egypt, which was a British Protectorate at the time?

Mr Kim, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, agreed to destroy his country’s “major missile engine testing site He reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula."

War games are bad, right? NYT
