The Prudentialist returns to Restoring Order for a wide-ranging discussion on leftism, Trump, and the future of the American right.

To begin, we discuss Assata Shakur. Who was she? Why is the left mourning her passing? We then discuss left-wing terrorism and consider why the institutional right, unlike the left, disavows its more radical elements, even when they are peaceful and law-abiding.

In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we discuss Trump’s crackdown on left-wing terrorism. What has he done so far? Is it enough? Prude argues that deterrence is the best option when you lack cultural control. Later, we differentiate between effective and ineffective ways of pressuring the Trump administration. Toward the end of the show, we consider what awaits America once Trump is no longer president.

Jeremy Kauffman is the founder and former owner of Odysee. He is also the former executive director and a former board member of the Free State Project. Jeremy joins me for a broad discussion on his work, libertarianism, MAGA, and the state of Western civilization.

We begin by discussing Jeremy’s ideological journey, including how he became a libertarian. He recounts how LBRY, which he invented, was destroyed by the federal government. We then discuss left versus right libertarianism. This leads to a consideration of whether there is hope for a national restoration in America. Jeremy is pessimistic about that. Later, Jeremy argues that humans do not know how to maintain liberty, and that experimentation in governance could help solve that problem.

In the second half (available to subscribers), Jeremy and I shift gears to discuss property rights. Moving on, we discuss the libertarian conception of civilization. I ask Jeremy how libertarians can appreciate civilization, given that it has historically entailed the existence of a state. Jeremy outlines his minarchist perspective in response. I offer a Burkean perspective, arguing that while civilization does entail a state, other, non-state spheres develop organically and play a critical role in civilization—spheres that the universal liberal state seeks to infiltrate and control. Later, we discuss Trump, with Jeremy offering a supportive (yet critical) libertarian perspective on the MAGA movement. He argues that while he supports mass deportations, he would prefer them to be done in a more libertarian manner. But what the hell would that look like? Tune in to find out.

On this episode of Restoring Order, I discuss recent developments in Britain, including the migrant hotel protests and Operation Raise the Colours; the differences between American and European immigration; nationalism versus patriotism; and whether Twitter is indeed dead, as some claim.

On this episode of Restoring Order, I provide some immigration white-pills, explore President Trump’s recent decision to federalize MPD, and take a look at what the data says about crime in the nation’s capital.

I start off by discussing a recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which reveals a 2.2 million decline in the foreign-born population. I explain why this is the direct result of Trump’s policies – and why we’re just getting started. I then refute the myth that Obama deported tons of illegals. Shifting gears, I recap what transpired last week with the attack on Big Balls. I then explain what Trump has done in the wake of that attack, including his decision to take control of D.C. police. This leads to a question: Why is the left so opposed to law and order? I discuss some of the dynamics at play. Toward the end of the first half, I watch some TikToks from D.C. locals, who are quite shocked by this turn of events.

In the second half (available to subscribers), I take a look at the left’s response to the federalization of MPD. I review a recent piece from Robert Reich, in which he argues that Trump’s move to federalize MPD is a test run for taking over the country. Clearly, he’s nuts. But then again, Trump did float the idea of doing similar things elsewhere, in cities like Chicago. Moving along, some argue that crime in D.C. isn’t that bad. I examine the data. But can we trust it? After all, a D.C. police commander was fired in May for undercounting certain felonies. Tune in to find out the truth about crime in the nation’s capital.

On this week’s episode of Restoring Order, I cover Trump’s debanking executive order, the attack on the DOGE staffer in D.C., why Mr. Brightside is a terrible song, and the intersection of religion and politics on the right.

First, I review Trump’s executive order on debanking, explaining why it’s so necessary. I contrast debanking with other forms of deplatforming and argue that it is far worse. I then discuss the attack on Edward Coristine, otherwise known as Big Balls. I talk about crime in D.C. and Trump’s response. Toward the end of the first half, I explain why Mr. Brightside should be banned.

In the second half (available to subscribers), I dive into the religion topic. BAP recently argued that it’s time for the secular right to run things. What does he mean by that? Does he have a point? I also discuss some of the counterarguments people on Twitter responded with. I argue that both sides, despite their differences, are talking past each other since everyone involved in the debate likes Trump, who, in my view, strikes an ideal balance between religiosity and secularism. I then review the 2024 religious voting trends and overall trends in American religion. Has Christianity declined? Where are we headed as a country? Tune in to find out.

Note: I missed last week’s episode, so I’ll be sure to do an extra one before the month ends. Apologies!

What is Trump doing to combat anti-white discrimination? Have there been multiple "great replacements" throughout American history? And what are we to make of the whites-only town in Arkansas? Join me as I explore these and other issues.

I first discuss Trump bringing Columbia to heel, and then talk about the Trump admin's broader war on race communism. I then outline what the administration has done well. Next up: immigration and American identity. And what do I mean when I say there have been multiple great replacements throughout American history?

In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I discuss Return to the Land, a white nationalist town in Arkansas that recently went viral. I outline my misgivings, explaining that while I support freedom of association, getting a bunch of people who listen to racist podcasts to move into the same town and broadcasting it to the world isn't the best idea. I detail the failures of the white nationalist movement and explain why people involved tend to disavow it all and become liberals. Is there a better way to go about things? Tune in to find out.

Forrest Maready is an author who previously worked in the film, television, and advertising industries. He joins me to discuss his recent book, The Age of Envy: 1848-Present.

To begin, I ask Forrest about his background. We hear about what it was like to work on movies and his unique take on Christianity. Moving on to his book, I ask about the significance of 1848. Forrest explains why he centered his book around three events that took place that year. This leads to a discussion on how the steam-powered printing press, train, and telegraph changed how humanity perceives itself—and not always for the best. Envy, Forrest argues, is in many ways downstream from technology. And as we all know, envy is a central component of leftism.

In the second half (available to subscribers), we explore whether envy is inevitable, given how natural inequality is. This leads to a consideration of democracy and how it measures up to pre-democratic political systems. I argue that while we must be pragmatic – there’s no bringing back monarchy – we should be honest about how mass democracy impedes certain political reforms. Shifting gears, Forrest discusses the concept of post-truth. How can nations continue to exist when people have widely different conceptions of reality? We wrap up the show by pondering if envy will destroy civilization—or if there’s a way out of the madness.
