"So what do we do? What do we do? Look, in conservative thought, Angela American conservative thought there's this great beautiful word restoration. Restoration means that you see that your country has gone off course. And you Edmund Burke says you look back, you find the time that the most recent time where things were still pretty much on course, 1985. That's Tucker's year. That 8 years before I was born. That generous, I think I'd put it a little earlier, but whatever your year is, you need to put the thing back on the path that was on back then. Now that's obviously it's not, you know, you can't actually literally do it in every way. But things can be restored. I mean, the Supreme Court in Dobbs is restoring a piece of the earlier American constitution. And so that's there aren't many examples like that. Recent examples. But that is an example. And in my book, I write about the American constitution. People don't necessarily remember that Washington and his party, when they wrote the constitution, their restorationists, they're already an American constitution. The Articles of Confederation. And it was a catastrophe, and they said, Washington, during the war, started sending out letters saying, we need something like something like the British constitution. And so 1787 is a restoration. It's bringing back a British tradition for how you create a strong central government, which the Americans thought they were going to do without look restoration as possible. But it begins at home. It begins with you personally. You can't think it's all going to happen at the political level. We could be sodom, or it could be nineveh. Right? We tell us the two. Well, everybody knows sodom. Yes. It was so evil that God thought it should be wiped off the face of the earth. And Abraham argues been in the end God wipes it off the face of the earth. It was the capital of the Assyrian empire. It's this utterly evil, an empire that lived for destroying other peoples for 300 years. All they did was go to war to destroy other nations. Totally evil. And God wants Jonah to go there and tell them to repent, Jonah runs away. Why because he doesn't want to tell them to repent, he wants them to be punished because they're evil. And God says, no, you leave that to me. You don't make these decisions. I make these decisions. The people of repent. It's amazing. And most powerful. And God forgives them. He says, you know, you a human being, you think you're going to decide the fate of these hundreds of thousands of people and you're not. You're not going to make that decision. So we don't know if America is dumb and it's going to be destroyed because it's so evil or if it's an and it's evil, but God's going to forgive it because people are going to repent. We don't know. We know how it looks to us, but we don't know what decision God's going to make. So we need to repent and we need to fight, amen. There's two types of societies that have gone astray. There's those with really bad people mixed with bad laws. That's nazism. There's some that have actually okay laws with people that have gone astray. I think that's where America is. Now the laws are changing quickly. But when you combine, for example, people will say, well, you know, there was nothing illegal with killing a Jew in the 40s. That's right. There was nothing that was legal. It's not doesn't mean it was right. In Germany. That's what I'm saying. Yes. In Nazi Germany. But America's laws were always pretty good laws. No, that's what I'm saying is, but we had a time. We had a hopefully a more moral and righteous virtuous people. And pretty good laws. The point is it has to start with the people and the people of gone astray. And we have the fight one minute remaining. Your thoughts. I think you can do it. I mean, I think if you're a person sitting at home and saying, I can't do it, I'm not strong enough. I think you can do it. I think you can go find a community where there are older people together with younger people and traditions are still being handed down. Go there not to judge them, go there to learn from them. And you'll find that you can change. We got to fight. It's the most important fight of our time. Conservatism of rediscovery. And the virtue of nationalism. That's correct.

It's got to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. It literally is the other side of the world. Yeah. So with this is your zone. I say that right? Absolutely. And author of just so many great books, including one I'm currently really enjoying called conservatism, a rediscovery. And it's a serious. It's a serious piece of work. Thank you. This is very well researched very well written, thoughtfully composed. And this is just so this is so perfect to have you in town to be able to have this conversation. All the way from Israel, I should say. Because of what's happening right now in Davos and in Switzerland, we've been talking a lot about the World Economic Forum. And it's interesting because you've all know a Harare who's the senior adviser to Klaus Schwab. There are several pieces of tape where he's talking about kind of remaking genesis where he says that God created human beings and now we need to do the same. And so all this ties perfectly into our conversation. So first why don't we introduce yourself to the audience and we can go from there? Sure. I live in Jerusalem. Married 9 children at this point, three grandchildren, God willing expecting some more. Wow. And recent years I've been involved with the chairman of an outfit called the Edmund Burke foundation, which runs the national conservatism conferences, which we've been doing for a few years pretty much every year in the United States. And in Europe, we're doing the first big one in the UK, not on UK, in May. And look at we talk about the same stuff that you talk about. It's about national independence. It's about rediscovering God and national traditions. Yes. And about bringing these things into your personal life. And.

Joss is a constitutional attorney by training. He hosts the Josh hammer show and newsweek podcasts and co hosts the Edmund Burke foundation's Nat con squad podcast. Josh, thanks for joining us. In a recent economist YouGov poll, 94% of respondents said, jobs in the economy was important to them. The topping, every other concern, except inflation, which scored the same. According to an average of polls compiled by RealClearPolitics, 59% of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of the economy. We've also seen that critical Senate races in Pennsylvania Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona appear to be shifting in favor of Republicans. So what do you think about this lead we have so far up to November? And do you think that there could be some October surprises of the sleeves of the Democrats until then? Well, Daniel, thanks for having me. Great to be with you as always. So I mean, what you just read those polls kind of remind me of something that I have been saying on my own podcast on radio TV. You name it for many months now, actually, which is, you know, back in July, I think a lot of us in the right leaning commentary of punditry space were predicting a big red wave, the red wave was kind of like the phrase that I think a lot of us in folks last summer. Then around August, maybe it's early September, really kind of the month of August, so I think a lot of people start to get a little skittish. And just a little bit and there was like that'd be so called backlash to the Supreme Court. Abortion case might have been having an effect, but around that time that some people, especially on our side, were starting to get a little more cautious, pessimistic and skittish. I kind of took upon myself, I'm not the only one. A lot of others did. And I reminded folks like the fundamentals, the basic kind of bare bones, political fundamentals of this midterm election, still heavily favored Republicans. I mean, first of all, come the first midterm election after a president is elected. Almost always goes to the opposing party period, one notable exception was 2002. The Republicans did well. That was in the aftermath of bush's high poor ratings after 9 11, but to kind of take that, you combine it with the fact that Joe Biden's approval ratings are historically low and they were historical for much of the summer. Inflation is very, very bad.

I'm Sebastian gorka, this is America first, and I'm delighted to welcome our special guest host Jim Hansen. Hey folks, I am Jim Hansen, and I'm happy to be sitting in for doctor G, who is shooting something amazing, which you will see in the upcoming weeks. But listen, I wanted to go ahead and get this rolling and do what we've done in the last couple of times. I have guest hosted. And that is take our rumble chat, and incidentally shout out to rumble for going public on the stock exchange. They now have their own ticker symbol. They are a thing and they are a growing thing. So we're happy to be streaming there. And we're happy to have the lively rowdy savage America first commenting crew in the rumble chat.

And then pick the top three and put those into a Twitter poll during the second hour of the show. And then based on the votes of the people on Twitter, I will do a freestyle rant in hour three. And that's always fun. I mean, what the heck? Who knows? It could be anything. I want to start by telling you everyone about a really cool conference I was at. This last week, in Miami. It was called the national conservatism conference. It was the third iteration of this. Put on by an organization called the Edmund Burke foundation. So very, very deeply old school conservatives. And really, if you're not familiar with this organization, I'm going to tell you you should be. National conservatism dot org. They have the right ideas. And what I want to kind of talk about and put in all of your minds, if you're not familiar with this, is the idea that we on the right. We, the maga, we, the America first crowd, we the new right, the base right, us. We need a full fledged ideology platform and governing set of principles because the time is ripe for us to take over. I mean, we are winning. We are ascendant. We are the ones at the momentum. We are the reason people are joining the Republican Party is because of us. And in large part, you got to give credit where credit's due. Donald Trump lit that fuse. He lit that fuse. Like when they put on the old cartoons, the barrels of dynamite blowing up. He did that. And it's working. He kicked that over. It's driven the left crazy. They've shown just exactly how bad their ideas are. They've started doing things that normal Americans can't stomach. So all of those people need a home. We have a home. We are the right. We are inviting new people to this place. And we are displacing the rhino moderate spineless thin lip milk toast cream in the coffee Republicans, like Mitch and the rest. All right, we're pushing them out of the way. They may retain power. They'll keep their claws in, you know, it's hard. It's a long war. It's a generational fight, but every iteration of elections, we get more of our people in and push more of their people out, putting more pressure on the top. So why should people come to our team? What is it? And here's the thing. No offense at all to Donald Trump. If he's the candidate next time, I will back him to the hilt. Heck, I would back a yellow dog before I would vote for any Democrat. But Trump is the one who did this. We just can't rely on trumpism as a governing philosophy. I could love the man. We can say he did, he gave us three Supreme Court Justices. He saved the republic because it's true. But what we have to have is now something that goes beyond him. All right? He can be of it, but we have to have a bigger thing. And I think national conservatism can offer that. And I think there's a statement of principles that the website and it's not going to surprise anybody. It's essentially a return to the founding principles of this country, but extremely well articulated. What I want to tell you about this national conservatism conference in Miami was it's kind of like cpac is a big party for our team. You know, everybody goes, you see your Friends, you see all the radio hosts you like. You see all that kind of stuff. And we all hang out. That's one part of the movement. That's the populist movement. That's vital. That's how we get together and build momentum. But what this was was kind of the academic intellectual wing of our team. These are the people who write the weighty tomes, the big old books full of the ideas that explain how Edmund Burke crusty old, I think he was Irish..

"Speaking of Civil War, I mean, a lot of people on both now the fairly radical left and the fairly radical right have proposed almost precisely that. They said we no longer have enough in common to maintain a cohesive nation that you can't have a nation that includes both the woke and social conservatives, fiscal liberals. You can't have that nation. It doesn't exist. It's never existed. There has to at least be a common base of values. And in the absence of restoration of that base of values, maybe it's better if we all go our separate ways. Now, I mean, Franklin, I think that sounds wildly optimistic about what would happen if you actually have the breakdown of a country that has 330 million people. One giant federal military with nuclear weapons that seems like a pretty optimistic vision that everybody just kind of puts down their weapons and walks away. But when does a nation become so noncoherent and non cohesive that is no longer a nation? Well, you've just described very well when it happens. I mean, it's happening right now. What's happening is that in order to, in order to maintain the cohesion of a nation or, you know, the same thing is true in a family. Any group of human beings that stays cohesive, that stays solid. I mean that under pressure internal and external pressure, they pull together instead of blowing apart. In every human loyalty group, what's necessary is that the leadership consciously purposely gives honor to the different competing tribes. Because there's no way to every nation nation is diverse. There's no such thing as a homogeneous nation. Every nation is made up of tribes of subsectors that sometimes they hate each other and sometimes there's a risk of their going to war. The job of the central, the central leadership, the job of the top leadership in the nation, is to make sure that there's a balance that honors being given to the different tribes. And what's happened in America is that, you know, at least since Donald Trump. I mean, the same thing happened in England with Brexit. So it's not localized to America, but at least since Donald Trump had probably a lot longer than that. The idea of I should see the other side as a part of my nation. I give them honor. They give me honor. Has just been completely lost.

"Okay, so let's talk about the slide from liberalism into tyranny or liberalism to collectivism. So the things that you describe liberalism as before, you know, fundamentals that are based in the idea of individual liberty and individual equality, some of the sentiments mentioned at the beginning of the Declaration of Independence. How does that slide into what we see now, which is overarching overweening government power so that the woke culture, are they related and if so how? They are related. I mean, they're clearly not the same thing. You know, like I would never say that liberalism is woke neo Marxism or progressive. They're clearly two different things. But in the book, I try to figure out what the relationship is. And my proposal is that what happens when what happens when you say only liberalism only freedom only choice only consent. I'm going to make the decisions about everything that there is about my life according to my own reasoning my own thinking. So look, that sounds beautiful. And there's a lot that's positive about it. But take a society, a whole society in which the children are being raised from kindergarten. They're being told, look, you make your own decisions. You think this through for yourself? Don't listen to us. The parents, the teachers, free to be you and me, you know, everyone, every one of you is going to be your own, your own specific particular thing that you're going to decide for yourself. It's almost like this needs to make yourself form yourself. So what happens to a society when you tell the kids that? Well, what happens is that there's no place in that description for tradition. There's no place for honoring the past for learning to honor the past, which means that then you become capable of learning. I mean, traditional society is the key. The key to a traditional society is that the children are taught to honor the past and because they're taught to honor the past, they're able to learn from the past and make it a part of them. And America has cut that off at the roots by telling children just think for yourself. Just think for yourself, you'll figure it out and in the end, the assumption here is this is also enlightenment liberal assumption. The assumption is that if everybody's reasoning for themselves, then they'll be this kind of convergence on the one true, the one tri ideology, the one true religion, the one true philosophy, the one true political theory. So it's really important to understand, I think, that that part of the enlightenment rationalism is completely false. Empirically, we now know this. If you tell everyone, just be free of all restraint of all tradition, just reason for yourself, figure it out. Just think for yourself, there is no convergence on liberalism.

"Let's talk about the unit of importance. So in sort of classical liberal tradition and in the United States in particular, the idea has been that the individual is the locus of all politics and the locus of all thoughts. So individual rights are predominant, those rights are supposed to be protected by government you delegate your powers to the government in order to protect those rights so far as the government invades those rights, then it is defeated. It's reason for being I mean, this is the sort of basic language of the Declaration of Independence, the world trained on. And so when we speak of freedom and liberty, that's what Americans tend to think of almost instinctively. You are using in that statement the nation or the state as sort of the locus or the tribe as the locus of importance. Which do you think is the level of abstraction that we should be aiming at conserving? Is it the individual? Is it the family? Is it the nation? Is it the tribe? Which level of abstraction is the most important here? Look, I think if you pick one and insist on it, then you end up being kind of like an a dollar and a dollar of the individual meaning somebody who just puts way too much emphasis on the individual or if you pick the nation, it's very easy for that to turn into something that is oppressive. I think that if you look at the American founding, there actually was a balance between jeffersonians and thinkers like Tom Payne, they basically were the left and they had this liberal view. But there was another party. The party of Washington and Hamilton, John Jay, John Adams, governor Morris who basically was the draftsman of the constitution. They were much more conservative. And they did focus on all you need to do is read the preamble to the American constitution. The first thing that they think that they're doing is a more perfect union. That's a nationalist aim. It's not an individual aim. It's an aim of we as millions of people. We have a problem that our union is insufficiently strong. And of course, of course, the blessings of liberty is there, but it's one of 7 aims. It's not the only. And I think that's fundamentally what Americans at this stage need to rediscover. They've got the individual liberty thing. It does bring blessings. But at this point, I mean, I think it's just, it's run out of control. I mean, if you're so far down the individual liberty path that you can't understand why pornography should not be should not be on the smartphone of every 12 year old kid. If you can't understand that, then you're just so deep into the individual liberty thing that you just don't think there are any other values. And that's what we're looking for is to rebalance along with those other values. That's a conservative way approaching these problems.

"Amazonian, thanks so much for being here. Really appreciate it. Great, thank you for having me. So let's just jump right in. You become a very controversial figure on the right because of your distinction that I think has been elided for a long time on the right between conservatism and classical liberalism. There are a lot of people on the right who have thought that conservatism was actually either a form of classical liberalism or in some ways identical to classical liberalism. So let me start by distinguishing the two in your thought. Sure. Look, liberalism, I think people have a pretty good idea of what it is. If your politics begins with human beings are free and equal, created free and created equal by nature and the purpose of government is to defend that freedom and equality. And you don't receive, you don't take on any political obligations that you didn't consent to. If you're in that ballpark, then you're a liberal. Conservatives certainly do cherish freedom. But conservatives begin their politics from a different place, a conservative begins by saying, all right, we've got this nation or this tribe. And what do we need to do in order to be able to conserve it? What do we need to do to make sure that it's going to be around 5 or 6 generations from now? And when you begin from that spot, then you need to start asking questions like what holds this society together? Is it blowing apart or does it need to be become more cohesive and coherent? Or what exactly is it that holds us together? I would say most conservatives would say that it's that it's the religious and national traditions of a particular nation that hold it together. So then you need to ask, well, what do we need to do in order to make sure that those transitions are being transmitted? Are they being transmitted in America now? And the answer is basically no one look what you've got.

An Introduction to Yoram Hazony Author of 'Conservatism: A Rediscovery'
"Returning to the shows that I text many of the developments in conservative thought the past few years is philosopher and scholar yoram has owning. What actually defines our country? And what can create unity? In very large part, the Trump presidency provoked necessary debate on the right about this question. One arena where you can see that debate is at natcon, an ongoing series of worldwide national conservatism conferences. These events emerged in 2019 from the Edmund Burke foundation where Europe is chairman. They're a part of the movement on the right to recognize the importance of nationalism to conservatism. Right now, the union is fraying. Military enlistment is plummeting. Child rearing is falling apart. Marxism is on the rise, an animus is rampant between left and right. Yoram says we've been incorrectly redefining the right for most of modern history and it's why our national identity is fractured. He says the incorrect definition of the right is what is perpetuating our current climate of disarray. Europe's work is vigorously discussed around both liberal and conservative media, most recently, all of that conversation is in response to his new book a conservatism, a rediscovery, but he writes of the new right and America's only way forward.

"Let me end with a personal question because whenever I have a black conservative on, I ask them this question. What percentage of your extended family agree with you? Well, you know what? I have to tell you when it started and where it said now. Where it started, I don't think nobody agreed with me at all. And now I just did a family event. We went to the rangers game. It was 20 of my family, all tatums, my great uncle, who's 80 years old, what's his first baseball game? And they all agree with me. Even the ones who say, you know what? I'm not really a big fan of Donald Trump, but I'll tell you what everything that you say is right. I listen to your show. I'm glad that you're saying what you're saying. My uncle said he said the Democrats that he used language that I would not use on the show, but he said, Al sharpton ain't, you know what? And he sent them Democrats ain't you know what? They have never done nothing for black people. And I almost tears. All right, do me a favor. Invite me to the next Tatum family reunion. Yes. I love you, Brandon. Thank you. Congratulations. Hi everybody, Dennis prager here and I'm delighted. I have one of the world's greatest conservative thinkers. And I try to never use hyperbole. So I mean that quite literally one of the world's greatest conservative thinkers. And his book is just out this week, conservatism, a rediscovery. I'll ask him why he says rediscovery he's chairman of the Edmund Burke foundation, president of the herzl institute in Israel, and he I have the light of having had a Shabbat dinner at his home with my wife. And his precious family, your family could truly be used as sort of a model family. If you don't even have to react to some no family is devoid of any issues, I take that as a given. Right. But given the normative realm of issues, your family is precious beyond words. How many children do you have? Yeah, Ellen, I have 9 children, and now three grandchildren. So I'll ask you, this is nothing to do with your conservatism book. But on a human level, I'm curious, so did you embrace with your first grandchild, did you embrace the title grand grandparent immediately or was there a voice in you going? Wait a minute. I'm still a kid. No, we embraced it immediately. I'm immature. There you go. I fully acknowledge a streak of immaturity in me that it took me a little while to make peace with the fact that me. This guy is a grandparent. I just bought it. You are right. It advanced version of me. Look, it's an indescribable change in your life. It's like you've gone up like you've been promoted. It's like this gigantic change in altitude that you look down and you see two living generations. It's vast. I agree. I'm very as one caller said to me once then it's I have the perfect description of you transparent. And so I offered some transparency into something I'm not proud of, but I thought it was fun to.

This is not strictly a debate. It is simply a conversation. There's no structure. There's no winners except, of course, just a bit of trash talking to keep it fun. Some of these topics will be very difficult. And I hope you can keep an open mind and have patients with me. As kind of moderator who tries to bring out the best in each person and the ideas discussed. Okay, that's my comment on the word debate. Now on to the word nationalism. This debate could have been called nationalism versus individualism or national conservatism versus individualism or just conservatism versus individualism. As we discuss in this episode, these words have slightly different meanings depending on who you ask. This is especially true, I think, for any word that ends in ism. I personally enjoy the discussion of the meaning of such philosophical words. I don't think it's possible to arrive at a perfect definition that everybody agrees with. But the process of trying to do so for bit is interesting and productive, at least to me. As long as we don't get stuck there, some folks sometimes do in these conversations. And now, a quick few second mention of each sponsor, check them out in the description..

"Hey everybody we are now in the overflow conversation from our turning point you student action summit josh and so rob welcome and i want to get right into it. So rob. Is this idea of liberty that we founded our country on the enlightenment. Principles is inevitable to result in authoritarianism and totalitarianism the erosion of rights is it possible to actually sustain it. So i kind of go back and forth on this that what we're suffering now the woke totalitarianism terrorism. Is it a natural outgrowth of of some of enlightened ideas embedded in our founding by the way our founding as josh said in the mean conversation had other strands including the puritan one Which makes it more complicated. So i don't condemn the whole founding but certainly had some of those kind of enlightenment elements Is it a natural outgrowth or is it as our david as read said. There is some natural disposition because precisely because it's willing to tolerate any view. Eventually it'll tolerate views that would destroy a decent think. It's like the second law of thermodynamics like eventually it's going to decay if you don't have a real strong principle around it well it. It's like this my friend adrian from your calls at the ever receding horizon of liberalism. That means is if you've noticed as soon as liberals one let's say Abortion then it became gay marriage as soon as they won gay marriage than it became translates as soon as they want transparency. It became a new racial politics. There's always there's something in this ideology of you always have to be liberating something liberating yourself from some dark past and that there's always more to overcome there's no limit so you said that on our podcast and i thought it was the best point of heard and i have used it repeatedly sometimes with reference but josh do agree with that and are our. Us harsh on the founders as seora. Nothing you're harsh balanced. Do you think that that this idea of the enlightenment has an inevitable kind of conclusion in chaos like it starts kind of somewhat. Exciting excitedly gets to this point of kind of this society that we're enjoying eventually you're going to end up in chaos. So the problem is that we in the american rights. Speak of the capital founders. If they're one kind of monolithic school of thought it was actually an immensely complicated intellectually diverse. School thought right Many of them were pious christians. John adams perhaps chief among them many of them were Were diaz Thomas jefferson of course being the leader of that camp the the diaz who really were just intellectually downstream kind of a strong form of kind of locking vitamin liberal thinking data. Kind of thing. That america was a true revolution. Like the truest sense of the term was effectively kind of synonymous the french revolution. It was kind of these self evident truths that we can just use pure reason unadulterated reason with no sense of tradition whatsoever and then we just kind of go out there and gonna build our utopia but the other strand of thought is john adams kind of alexander hamilton. Common of the early era federalist party. you know in first party system was a very different strand of thought it was kind of a is much more fill up. They took a much stronger view of the common law. And for a lot of these statesman the american revolution really wasn't so much a quote unquote revolution insofar as it was kind of a restoration of the sixteen eight english bill of rights that the englishman or the tv the crown had cracked down upon the american colonists who you know because they were still englishman. Deserve the right of englishmen. So it's very complicated stuff here to go back to what i was saying here though. There is tension between kind of you know. I guess patrick deneen would be a good example. Who basically says the kind of liberalism is kind of inherently kind of what it was corrupted. It kind of a gecko that we were gonna get. This kind of woke illiberal authoritarianism David is rather stewardess or upset his liberals genetic predisposition. I also back and forth on this. I'm closer to the. I'm closer to the as rod view but the reality here is that it is exceedingly difficult if not impossible to have a purely quote unquote neutral public square. This utopic fantasy of kind of liberalism in its purest. Form that there that there will be no such thing as kind of substantive value so everything will be pure kind of procedural in values neutral and live and let live was always always always ally because human beings in our core. We know this. In both the bible and from the greeks our aristotle we are moral creatures who strive to lead moral lives and we strive to inculcate those moral teachings unto others. So i i. I really like what's are upset about. How adrian frames is kind of the the receding tide of of liberals more wherever the exact line is horizon. Our horizon okay. So that makes a lot of sense to me. I mean i. it's true. They always gay marriage to the transgender stuff. You know your mazzone burke. Foundation colleague wrote a fabulous essay quill at just about a year ago last august. He called the challenge of marxism and in the points. Essay was just to show. That was happening right now. In in in terms of the woke movement is literally just marxism under a different name is just not economic class warfare. Two different kinds of identity. -tarian warfare so these problems. Don't go away and a lot of it is kind of baked equation of liberals nevada. So so so. Rob what would you say about a critic who says look. Some of the liberalism has been rather helpful for humanity. Women's right to vote civil rights act Freedom of speech These are some of the enlightenment should we. Should we say that that those things would have happened without a of this kind of movement towards more of a lucky in philosophy because that is the greatest selling point that small l liberals have is look how far we've come back. You hear this quite often. Yup and most people even realized are saying honesty. It's become so an like you're not talking to end the into some. Yes where it's like. Look how far we've come rhino. We're not who we were in sixteen nineteen look at us now. Is there some truth to that as well as some danger to that i. So here's what i would say. Is that A lot of the things that liberal ideology tastes credit for has its roots in pre liberal premodern achievements of civilization right. The idea of you know regular predictable. Administration is not something the liberals invented three or four hundred years ago. It is found in ancient china. It is found in a lot of even non western civilization. The idea that Power has some limits and it should in his treatment of people it can't go beyond certain limits especially limits imposed by spiritual authority that was an achievement of the church You know the magna carta news pre liberal and decidedly premodern. so i think they're la- liberal ideologues. Do this kind of trick. Where as you said people take it for granted and it's it's a historical Where it's like. What if you lose liberals and then you're gonna lose everything we're gonna go back to barbarism and above in fact it's not the case i mean as a lot of these institutions that we cherish have pre liberal premodern roots therefore means that if we transcend liberal ideology. It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to go to some tyranny and of course then you look at you look at society as it exists today and there's a tremendous lot of tyranny meted out by liberals themselves so i just think it's basically. It's a sigh up when they so so. I wanna just clarify for our listeners..

What Is Western Civilization and Is It Better Than Other Civilization Projects?
"Us through first of all what is western civilization. Thank you charlie. Thanks turning point for having me ny. I'd be remiss if i didn't also thanked charlie to being a newsweek columnist. So thank you for that and yeah great to be here. You know got dinner last night. We were joking about how we can possibly talk about how to save the west thirty minutes. So let's kind of dive writer and get right to the point here. So leo strauss famously defined western civilization kind of the ever existing tension between jerusalem anathemas between the bible and between kind of greco. Roman reason if you will. I think that's a good place to start a research fellow at the edmund burke foundation. Which is your arm zones. think tank. It's a home for kind of national conservatism. And we think of the nation state. The nation state is being directly derived from the hebrew. Bible actually the tribes of israel themselves going to be the original the og nation state. If will so. I think just recovering a sense of biblical identity and the importance of the nation state. In contrast to globalism in contrast to all sorts of utopian global ideals is a good place to start so it starts with the bible truths jerusalem athens and then obviously rome as well. Which is you. Don't more my good friends territory. Of course there's a lot there and so so rob. You have an interesting perspective on this. So can you tell us what does what makes the west difference. Why is this worth preserving and dare we say is the west better than other civilization projects currently or previously. So i would define the west. An not too dissimilar from josh shared as the combination of greek philosophy roman law and judeo christian religion and What's what's special about that combination. Is this view that a man and woman are at home in the world that there is that using reason we can understand the world and because we are part of a whole that is legible whole that can be discovered using reason we can also understand what it means to be happy as a human

Conservatism to be specifically. How does the common good relate to conservatism as a value. Right because leftism has collectivism as a common good value. But why is that antithetical to your project from the left. And then from the right. What distinguishes you from someone. Like professor adrian mule and his concept of common good constitutionalism. Sure yeah so garrett and james wilson's shoot. Thanks so much for for having me back. I i take pleasure in hinting. A return guests of this wonderful program so happy that you're kicking us off on this. No because i think defining what conservatism is or at least have as i construe it is definitely kind of a necessary precondition of sorts for understanding. Why the our understanding why what is currently offered as a purportedly conservative jurisprudence simply does not rise to that occasion. So you know look i A lot of this is going to be Beyond the confines of what we can talk about here. I think scholars continue to debate. What conservatism is. But you know speaking. Personally my own you of of what. Conservatism is is definitely informed. Quite heavily by my my colleague In many ways kind of One of not my of preeminent mentor Which is a euro-zone as the president of the burke foundation. Where research fellow. And he's understanding. What conservatism is which i think most clearly outlined the twenty seventeen american affairs journal long-form essay with our other colleague for your high avery.

"Piece at newsweek dot com. I think it's spot on. I was going to crib from it and present it to you, even if we were not able to get Josh Hammer on the air, and I'll join us in a moment. But in talking about the Children trial, and the verdict up in Minneapolis is a good jumping off point. Let me just cribbed from his article, then bring him on to explain. The conviction of disgraced former Minneapolis police officer Derek Shelvin on both manslaughter and murder charges ought to be at least in theory, a moment for the country, hoping to foster a greater civic unity. A chance to step back and calm down. Sadly, early indications point towards something opposite. We'll get into the body of his peace when he joins us, but this was where I said Yes. This is spot on. Right after the verdict. The very next day, the national narrative shifted to the lethal police encounter in Columbus, Ohio. You know what we speak here? Well, then, of course, Valerie Jarrett. LeBron James, the American Civil Liberties Union called the death of Bryant in Columbus outright murder, and, as our guest wrote, This is utter insanity utter insanity. But when your hammer Everything. Looks like a nail. Welcome. Josh Hammer. Hey, is a Newsweek opinion editor, a syndicated calendars, research fellow with the Edmund Burke Foundation. And I believe a returning guest here in the big 89. Josh, How are you? I'm doing great and actually talking to you from Chicago myself, So it's great to be on with you. Well, thanks. Thanks for joining me on short notice. I thought this was a brilliant piece. As I mentioned I was going to crib from it and give you proper attribution by the way. Today, even if I wasn't able to get you on the air. Well, let's take a piece by piece by piece number one. What we saw in Minneapolis was a successful criminal prosecution of a police officer. But the use of lethal force which doesn't happen very often, but we seem to have missed that point as a nation heavily. No, he did not happen very often. Um, on, by the way, I kind of you know, I I think that at least some authority on this. I I splurged on the U. S court appeals for the fifth Circuit. I had any number of kind of police cases come across my doctor. When I was a law clerk. I'm a lawyer by training. Obviously, prosecutions of police officers are extremely rare. And even when a D a R to press charges, even when it kind of gets to trial, which again is exceedingly rare. A successful conviction is even with that baseline extremely rare. Not only was there a successful conviction in this case Not only was shoving convicted on all three of the charges all three of the murder various murder and manslaughter charges, but the verdict was reached within. Like what? 8 to 10 Hours of deliberation. I mean, It was a slam dunk. I mean, there was really kind of no doubt here whatsoever as the outcome. You know, From my perspective, I thought the murder charge was probably a bit of a stretch for the prosecution certainly had a strong case on manslaughter, You know, and I said that I said that someone beat back the blue to the bullets, but Concur with them. That's great setup because you're pointing this the political aspect that I wanted to delve into here. Yes. Okay, so he's convicted. He'll be sentenced in 7.5 weeks or whatever is going to be Now did he truly receive a fair trial? That's a bit dubious, Don't you think? Yeah, Dubious at best, Right? I mean, when? When the judge in the case judge, Hey, hell kind of went on That monologue, You know, kind of criticizing Maxine waters for what she said. Joe Biden, by the way. Oh, my goodness. You know, I mean, by buying talking about he's praying for the right verdict and the evidence overwhelming. It makes no difference whatsoever that the jury has, you know was allegedly Pew did leave the question of that particular instance. That is not exculpate him at all. It's just a grossly irresponsible overstepping his authority. But you know what? This was a full scale kind of national pressure campaign. It really kind of seemed to me that a lot of people wanted. Show them out there, you know, and kind of a 17 eighties style town square and basically stoning him. You know the big treating con con. They treat the witches and Salem, Massachusetts in the 16 hundreds. I mean, that's that's kind of what it seems like. I'm not defending Sheldon's conference. We evolved. We've all seen that video. It was. It was not good. But in the American system of law, you are inessential proven guilty and due process is still a thing even for people like Derek seven. I I concur. I think it's ah responsible Commander, Chief Red or blue to insert themselves into things of this nature and the comments before reprehensible. I thinking completely out of line. But even afterwards, I thought There's a lot of line for the commander in chief to get involved in that now this brings me to the third point that I want to discuss. They pivoted when I say they I mean the professionals. You know that the as I mentioned Uh um. Valerie Jared tweeted on it. LeBron James tweeted on it. American Civil Liberties Union called Brian's death in Columbus. Outright Murder. To me. That's also clearly irresponsible. Uh, It does muddy the waters of due process for anybody involved in these incidents. I mean, not even the money the water of due process. It's basically just telling us to not believe our own lying eyes. I mean, you know, my my friend and former colleague back when I worked at the Daily wire Mat Ball Street tweeted out a video club yesterday. I am the first time that I saw this play, but it's very, very, very clearly shows Brian, Of course she was shot. Lunging with this large night. You know, I I a police officer intervening in a situation like that to protect innocent lives. That is not murder that is very far from nervous. Murdering, you know in the Justice Society the police often would hear would probably be be lauded would probably be lionized for saving innocent lives s O. But the come here that we have inside he had just lost our ability to think critically. We have mocked our ability to like Look at individual factual scenarios. Assess each on a case by case basis on I'm the contrary. What we're what we're doing here is we're taking each particular scenario and it has to fit the narrative. It has to fit the narrative at all costs, no matter what the facts matter what our eyes will see. It's grossly irresponsible from the C L U LeBron James Tweet was abhorrent. I was happy that he deleted it. But you know, the damage is probably done at that point, to be honest..
