Christianity is universal in the sense that it is the one true religion, but does that mean that it has to destroy the particularity of nations? Does Christianity really erase all borders and boundaries, or is there room for a Christian version of nationalism? Stephen Wolfe, the author of "The Case for Christian Nationalism," joins me to discuss. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/pod...

Classical liberalism was a real political tradition — one that helped shape the American founding. It deserves serious treatment. Watching it get paraded around by people who reject its core values is exhausting. If Locke or Adams saw progressive atheists wearing classical liberalism like a skin suit, they’d spin in their graves. The secular liberalism of the 1990s and early 2000s is not classical...

The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest protestant Christian body in the United States, granting it a powerful influence over religious life in the country. The average churchgoers in the SBC are some of the most conservative people in the country, but organizational leadership often cuts against the beliefs of the average member. William Wolfe, executive director of the Center for Baptist...

Curtis Yarvin is a political theorist who was once so controversial that academics dared not speak his name, but now he is appearing in the New York Times and debating professors at Harvard University. Yarvin joins me to discuss his rise in elite circles and the best way to capture or dismantle institutions like Harvard. We also discuss the Trump administration's approach to foreign policy, deport...

A recent New York Times report revealed that the Democratic Party is marshaling its donor class in an effort to return to cultural dominance. The popular progressive narrative after the 2024 election has been that Kamala Harris did not lose because she was a uniquely unlikeable candidate with deeply unpopular positions, but because Joe Rogan had a podcast. Leftists' obsession with the role of the...

The debate over the future of the American Right continues to rage, and the Reformed Christian sphere is not an exception. Pastor and author Doug Wilson joins me to discuss the term "woke Right," online pagans, and the resurgence of New Atheism in conservative circles.

The announcement of Joe Biden's terminal cancer diagnosis reveals a deeply cynical conspiracy by the Democratic Party. It has become clear that the party ran a dementia patient with terminal cancer in the hopes that he would die in office and the unelected Kamala Harris would become the first black female president. This incredible betrayal of the American people must come with serious consequence...

Along with closing the border, the most important issue for many Donald Trump supporters is putting an end to endless foreign wars. In his recent speech in the Middle East, Trump seemed to reinforce that commitment by decrying nation building and promising a new era of economic cooperation without meddling in foreign affairs. Riley Lewis, host of "The Real Story" on OANN, joins me to discuss the u...

The life of an unheeded prophet rarely ends in comfort and often courts danger. Pat Buchanan endured both with the resolve of a warrior. As the most prominent paleoconservative in American politics, Buchanan stood so far ahead of his time that today’s MAGA agenda looks like a photocopy of his 1992 presidential campaign platform. From the culture war to working-class economics and immigration, Buch...

After years of insisting that the United States welcome every refugee from around the world, progressives have finally found one group of immigrants they do not approve of: white South African farmers. In South Africa, the government has explicitly anti-white laws, farmers are regularly murdered, and major political leaders lead songs about killing white citizens. The Episcopal Church has even sta...

The Left's focus on crude racial politics has made everyone understandably weary of identity, but identity does not magically disappear. As a response, some are now pushing for the forced elimination of identity even up to the level of the nation, singling our nationalism itself as the enemy. Under Joseph Stalin the USSR also recognize the need to abolish tribal and even national identities in the...

As the MAGA movement attempts to find its foreign policy footing, many establishment conservatives have derisively accused Trump supporters of isolationism. The neoconservatives believe that the New Right is somehow betraying the diplomatic tradition of the United States, but nothing could be further from the truth. We'll be reading George Washington's farewell address to see what our first presid...

On Friday, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency officially labeled Alternative for Germany — the country’s most popular conservative party — as a “right-wing extremist” organization. The nationalist party surged to second place in February’s federal election, winning 20.8% of the vote. This new designation grants the ruling government expanded powers to surveil Alternative for Germany leaders an...

The term "woke Right" has been pushed in an effort by disaffected liberals to control the ways that conservatives and right-wingers think about politics. Recently, James Lindsay and Jordan Peterson filmed a baffling discussion in which they attempted to define the term but ended up raising more questions then answers. Lindsay then immediately began attacking Peterson's fellow Daily Wire host Matt...

Shiloh Hendrix, a mother in Minnesota, became the center of controversy after a viral video captured her using racial slurs toward a child who stole something out of her bag and the man filming her. Hendrix, who was forced to relocate due to the controversy, started a GiveSendGo fundraiser to cover the costs. The fundraiser exploded with over $600,000 in donations, as many people treated the effor...

In the early 1900s, Edmund Husserl founded a new school of philosophy called phenomenology. This new approach attempted to discard previous philosophical assumptions and explore the direct conscious experience of the human being. Husserl's student, Martin Heidegger, furthered the project with his book "Being and Time," which had a massive impact on both left- and right-wing philosophy while influe...

When a loosely connected group of disgruntled liberals burst onto the scene to tackle the problem of wokeness, it seemed like a big deal. Men like Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and Eric Weinstein found huge audiences while stressing the importance of free speech and open dialogue. But now, a decade after they made their mark, many members of the "intellectual dark web" have changed their tune and a...

If every culture shared a universal set of values, then immigration and integration would not be very big issues, but that just isn't the case. Surveys show that while every society lies, some are much more dishonest, which makes a high-trust society very difficult. With the internet allowing every culture to interact instantaneously, even traditional borders aren't enough to protect your culture....

In his first presidential term, Donald Trump had to battle the deep state and the unelected federal bureaucracy. During his second term, he faces a rogue judiciary. Judges have attempted to interfere with the armed forces, stop government spending cuts, and halt deportations. Now the Trump administration has fired its first shot across the bow by arresting a Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping a...

Federal judges have already blocked Trump administration efforts to reform the military, reduce spending, and rein in foreign aid. They act as though they — not the president — command the executive branch. Now, the Supreme Court has taken the absurd position that the due process rights of illegal alien gang members matter more than the rights of American citizens. If Biden can import millions wit...

Modern secular Britain has slowly transformed into a soft tyranny that censors speech and persecutes Christians. As Islamic immigrants flood the country, a new religion has come to dominate the public square and challenged the identity of the United Kingdom. Father Calvin Robinson joins me to discuss the political and spiritual future of the U.K. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/pod...

Reports of the demise of wokeness have been greatly exaggerated. Despite the victory of Donald Trump and Republicans in the last election, many Democrat state legislatures are pushing on with the radical progressive agenda. The latest legislation out of Colorado would strip parents of their rights if their child is declared transgender and criminalize the use of correct names and pronouns by busin...

Texas is supposed to be one of the most fiercely American states in the union but has recently seen the construction of a massive Hindu idol and has plans for an explicitly Muslim city. Is this just freedom of religion at work, or do Americans have the right to prefer their religion and culture? Ronald Dodson, CEO of Dallas North Capital Partners and contributor to the American Reformer, joins me...

Our ruling class members have willingly torched the credibility of the very institutions they rely on for legitimacy — all in pursuit of temporary political advantage. That destruction has accelerated a collapse that now feels inevitable. Liberalism faced an epistemological crisis and failed to meet the challenge. Like every tradition that cannot defend its intellectual ground, it is watching its...

During a recent meeting with Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele pointed out a lesson that Americans have forgotten: Justice for the criminal is liberation for the average citizen. As Karmelo Anthony, the alleged murderer of high school athlete Austin Metcalf, raises hundreds of thousands of dollars while renting a new house and buying a new car, it is hard not to wonder what happened...
