  • Disappointing

    I used to listen basically every day, but they’ve morphed into just standard, card carrying Republicans. Really guys? Welcome to the dustbin of history.

  • The Thinking Man’s Conservative Podcast

    My new favorite podcast. Intellectual while still compelling and exciting to listen to, fresh analysis and takes I don’t hear anywhere else. Also great guests and debates.

  • Seems interesting so far

    City Journal is a great outlet and deserves benefit of the doubt.

    We have a major problem with grift and derangement on the Podcast right. From Candace to Tucker to Megyn, if you’re taking what those three say seriously then the joke’s on you.

    Assuming the Israel brain infection doesn’t reach these guys, then it’s a good option for legitimate intelligent conversation. Worth a listen.

  • Conservative Alternative to Ezra Klein

    Very good conversations between well read, thoughtful, and most importantly, honest brokers in our ongoing world of different opinions. Moves along in an entertaining way, really does address both sides, even if their preference is evident, which is par for the course after all.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bannon, Dugin, Evola, & the Philosophical Roots of the Trumpian Right | Ep 54
Q: How does traditionalism relate to the rise of the tech right and figures like Balaji Srinivasan and Mark Andreessen?
The guest explains that the tech right represents a practical, market-driven counterbalance to elite liberal governance, while retaining shared suspicions of woke ideology; technology is seen as both a driver of change and a tool for restructuring political coalitions, often blending libertarian pragmatism with a new kind of cultural conservatism.
Bannon, Dugin, Evola, & the Philosophical Roots of the Trumpian Right | Ep 54
Q: Can you summarize what you see as the deeper philosophical underpinning behind Trumpism beyond simple populism?
Teitelbaum argues that there is a coherent, multi-ideological framework—traditionalist and anti-modernist strands—that provides a richer context for Trump-era politics, with cyclical time, a longing for a golden age, and a push against liberal progress shaping policy ambitions and cultural appeals.
White Pill: The Case for MAGA Optimism with Scott Greer | Ep 56
Q: How did the alt-right influence Trump's rise, and why did that momentum fade in some respects?
The alt-right supplied online memes, energy, and a willingness to confront woke and immigration issues, helping sustain Trump's momentum during the primaries, but internal divisions, extremist symbolism, and backlash from mainstream media and voters reduced their direct political impact over time.
White Pill: The Case for MAGA Optimism with Scott Greer | Ep 56
Q: What do you see as the core organizing principle that replaced traditional conservatism in the MAGA era?
The core has shifted from a focus on limited government to a combination of immigration restriction, national identity, and law-and-order priorities, with Trump acting as a catalyst that activated a broader energy in the online right while the establishment lagged in addressing those issues.
California's Skid Row Election Fraud Is Pure Cope | Ep 57
Q: You live in Skid Row?
The guest confirms she lives in Skid Row, and the conversation proceeds to ask whether people were paid to vote and how much.
