Eric Kaufmann is Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham. He joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on wokeness, identity, and immigration. To begin, I ask Prof. Kaufmann about his intellectual journey. Was he always right of center? We then get into his latest book, The Third Awokening. After Prof. Kaufmann defines wokeness for us, we discuss its origins. While some have pointed to civil rights law as the origin of wokeness, he argues to the contrary. In the first half, we also discuss the “woke right” nonsense that has made the rounds on Twitter and the connection between mental illness and wokeness.

In the second half, available to subscribers, we continue our discussion of Prof. Kaufmann's third awokening concept before considering how wokeness can be defeated for good. We then shift gears to discuss Prof. Kaufmann's book Whiteshift. He contrasts white nationalism with what he refers to as ethno-traditional nationalism and argues that this recent wave of populism is more about demographics than economics. We also cover several other topics related to immigration and identity before the conclusion of the episode.

The Prudentialist joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on current events. We begin by covering Trump’s sentencing in the hush money trial. Shifting gears, we consider the floated purchase of Greenland. What, if anything, does America stand to gain from such an acquisition? Is it at all within the realm of possibility? We then begin our discussion of the Los Angeles wildfires.

In the second half, we ponder the cause of the fires. Is climate change to blame? We argue that is not – but even if it were, that would not excuse the various policy blunders responsible for the wildfires wreaking such havoc. After covering the various factors at play, we discuss the scourge of looting that breaks out every time a natural disaster strikes.

Josiah returns to Restoring Order to recap the debate that raged on Twitter last week. We begin by discussing the debate’s origins, the nature of the H-1B program, the broader legal immigration crisis, how the tech right shot itself in the foot, and the prevalence of anti-white resentment among immigrants.

In the second half, available to subscribers, we continue our discussion of mass immigration. I ask Josiah why the primary goal for certain immigrant groups seems to be growing their numbers in America. This leads to a discussion of the historic conception of American citizenship. We then discuss the significance of last week's immigration debate, ponder the limitations of a STEM-only mindset, and explore Trump's immigration policy – in his first term, and in the term to come.

I’m joined by writer and YouTuber Morgoth for a wide-ranging discussion on British politics, migration, and nationalism. We begin by discussing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent immigration crackdown. What precisely is he doing – and why? This leads to a discussion of the British right’s response to this surprising development, and the pros and cons of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. We also discuss the farmers’ protests.

In the second half, available to subscribers, we discuss the insanity of the left’s climate change agenda, which amounts to a wealth transfer from the first world to the third. When then consider which European nations are handling the migration problem the best, and which the worst. Switching gears, we explore the concept of nationalism. Despite having arguably left-wing origins, nationalism, Morgoth argues, is the correct response to the crisis the West currently faces.

I’m joined by popular YouTuber John Doyle for a wide-ranging discussion on American politics. To begin, John recounts his red-pill story and the creation of his channel. We discuss how the internet has democratized discourse – for better or worse. Next up is a 2024 election recap. John offers his thoughts on Trump’s historic victory, and we compare this election to 2016. Which of the two was better? Toward the end of the first half, we begin our discussion of Daniel Penny and Luigi Mangione.

In the second half (available to subscribers) we continue our discussion of Daniel Penny. We then shift gears to discuss Luigi Mangione. What motivated him to murder the CEO of UnitedHealth? Was this a political act or the product of mental illness? We then explain why Daniel Penny is a hero and Luigi Mangione simply is not – and why one act is inherently right-wing, the other left-wing.

I’m joined by writer and political analyst Niccolo Soldo for a discussion on the downfall of the Assad dynasty and other related topics.

In the first half, I begin by asking Niccolo what the hell transpired over the last week in Syria. We discuss Abu Mohammad al-Julani and the relationship between HTS and Iran. I ask Niccolo if Russia and Iran could have done more for Assad. We then get into who benefitted from Assad’s downfall – and who didn’t. We also discuss Niccolo’s Turbo America concept.

In the second half of the show (link in bio and reply), we shift gears to talk about the the problem with wishcasting. I then play devil's advocate, offering a counterpoint to Niccolo's Turbo America idea. He explains why America is unlikely to attempt something like the Iraq War (and subsequent attempt at nation-building) again. We also cover China and Israel.

I’m joined by renowned philosopher and brilliant right-wing thought leader Howling Mutant for a wide-ranging discussion. In the first half, we discuss the Howling Mutant origin story, and he teaches me how to tweet. We also cover the left’s lack of humor and the media’s lies about Jordan Neely, whom Mutant used to encounter on the subway.

The second half (link in bio/reply), we continue our discussion of Twitter drama before switching gears to talk about Mutant’s favorite books, movies, and TV series. We then discuss the recent election, Trump, and the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Should right-wingers exercise caution when it comes to left-wing killers?

I’m joined by Dr. Thomas Fleming (Chronicles Magazine EIC from 1985-2015) for a wide-ranging discussion on the history of conservatism, Trump, and civilizational decline. In the first half, we learn how Dr. Fleming became a man of the right. We discuss civilizational decline: its nature and causes, including technology. Dr. Fleming then outlines the many differences between the Old Right and neoconservatism.

In the second half, we continue our discussion of the American conservatism, with Dr. Fleming recounting the history of the neoconservative purges. We then shift gears to discuss Trump. Does Dr. Fleming feel vindicated after seeing paleocon ideas win out in the end? He also offers his thoughts on what to expect in a second Trump administration, and whether, even in the best case scenario, American decline can fully be reversed. Toward the end of the show, we discuss the Ukraine war and Dr. Fleming's latest book.

(Please note: For whatever reason, Zoom decided to lower the video quality of this recording, despite the fact that I didn’t change any settings. I appear to have resolved the issue for future episodes.)

Nightmare Visions joins me for a sprawling discussion on current events and political philosophy. In the first half, we discuss his thoughts on where things stand in the wake of Trump’s historic victory, Gaetz stepping down from AG, liberal capitulation, and the history the so-called dissident right.

In the second half, we consider whether the term dissident right should be discarded. Are there downsides to styling yourself as a dissident? Are we still dissidents, even though Trump won the popular vote and every swing state? We then shift gears to critique Francis Fukuyama’s post-election essay, in which he argues that Trump’s victory “represents a decisive rejection by American voters of liberalism.” We explore Fukuyama’s flawed and self-serving intellectual history, and explain why Trump has far more in common with historic American liberalism than what Fukuyama advocates for.

Josiah Lippincott joins me for a wide-ranging discussion. In the first half, we cover the recent election, Obama’s legacy, and Trump’s personnel picks so far. In the second half, we delve deeper into foreign policy. Can Trump actually end the Ukraine war? How should the American right relate to China? And what about Israel, Hamas, and Iran – how can we …
