  • One of the best

    I've always loved politics news curent affairs history media in general I follow some of the Normie channels but I've also been a contrarian and this group all of them are unmissable intelligent very clued up great sense of humour and don't rely on conspiracy theories. I am 69 years old and I'm still up for the New

  • Best political podcast by far

    Even coming from an American this show is the only right leaning political podcast that’s well considered, funny, sincere, and for a younger audience and not corrupted by ZOG worshipping RINOs (US) or Tories (UK). FYI - the Nigel Farage Cameo segment had me almost peeing my pants. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe while I was driving. BIG CHUNGUS SENDS HIS REGARDS!

    B.B Dade is no doubt staunch but his show could do with better production.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PREVIEW: Realpolitik #61 | An American Schmittian Moment? with Ronald Dodson
Q: How does liberalism differ from Schmidt's view of politics, and what are the risks of a purely managerial, peace-seeking approach?
The host/ Dodson argue that liberalism often seeks to maximize freedom by reducing conflict, which can erode essential political structures; Schmidt's framework suggests that some degree of conflict and a robust public order are necessary to maintain a stable regime and cultural continuity.
PREVIEW: Realpolitik #61 | An American Schmittian Moment? with Ronald Dodson
Q: Walk us through how Schmidt is misunderstood on the friend-enemy distinction and what the concept means in practice.
Dodson explains that Schmidt views the friend-enemy distinction as a political category, not a personal vendetta, and emphasizes the need to distinguish between a private enmity and a public, existential threat that justifies political action to protect a way of life.
Where Do We Go From Here? | Interview with Henry Martin
Q: What constructive steps should Restore take to improve its policy outputs and organizational effectiveness?
He recommends delegating policy paper drafting to subject-matter consultants, creating a network of affiliated unions and academic contacts, and focusing on coherent, implementable policies rather than broad, ambitious but underdeveloped proposals. He highlights the value of learning from other policy papers (e.g., the Prosperity Institute) and separating contentious goals (like net-zero) from broader policy contexts.
Where Do We Go From Here? | Interview with Henry Martin
Q: What are the main criticisms of the grooming inquiry report, and how could the process have been improved?
The main issues include a weak methodology description, safeguarding gaps, and questions about independence since editors were part of Restore. He suggests a more professional, independent drafting team and transparent budgeting, with experts in criminal law and safeguarding guiding the analysis to produce a more credible report.
PREVIEW: Brokenomics | Georgist Land Tax
Q: If we accept the land-value tax concept, how would it apply to modern property and improvements—would a software company and a parking lot be taxed the same?
Blair clarifies that under Georgism, the tax targets location value (the land itself), not the improvements; thus, two otherwise similar sites could be taxed similarly based on land value, regardless of what is built on them.
