This episode kicks off our interview series, available in full to paying subscribers at contramundumpod.com. Ron Unz of Unz.com joins us to discuss the hidden elements of the FDR administration with particular reference to Charles Lindbergh and the America First Movement.
Welcome to the Counter-Revolution. The media establishment, lib diehards, and other regime apparatchiks continue to meltdown in the face of Trump’s mandate to reform the American bureaucracy. But his true tests are still to come: how will he react in the face of the rogue judiciary? In other news, the New Christian Right continues to shape itself into a visible force, gaining momentum in the broader context of the decline of the postwar American ethos. This has massive implications for Contra Mu...
Fertility rates across the Western and developed world are plummeting year over year since the 19th Century. In America, after the postwar baby boom, birth rates continued their downward trajectory. As of 2024, the total fertility rate (TFR) in the United States was about 1.84 children per woman. This is obviously below the golden number of 2.1 that a population needs to sustain itself. Many people have brought attention to this crisis, notably Elon Musk. And it IS a crisis. A place like America...
DOGE is on the hunt! The Democratic establishment is panicking, Politico is melting down, and Bill Kristol has to go back. Despite pleas that Elon Musk is not an elected official, this is precisely what the American people voted for. Peeling the mask off the rotten managerial state won at the Ballot Box, and from the looks of it, the Trump Administration is only getting started.
"For years, we were told that "the internet isn't real life." But in this election, it was. Online influencers, issues, and ideas played a major role in the 2024 election—especially on the right." Those are the words of today's guest, Nate Hochman. We're going to talk about the state of political discourse and the role that the online right has played in the shaping of narratives, framing, and political priorities. There are many naysayers about how Twitter doesn't matter--social media is irrele...
Mass deportations are now underway. The U.S. Military is now at the Southern border. Illegals are being rounded up and sent back. Things are happening under President Trump. He is actually doing the things he promised to do. But will it be enough?
Our long national nightmare is over. Donald J. Trump is now, once again, President of the United States. In his second inaugural address, he outlined a vision for his new presidency: a return of the historic American spirit. He invoked both Manifest Destiny and President McKinley. The border will be fully militarized. Cartels are now foreign terrorist organizations. The Panama Canal is coming home. Tariffs are coming back. No more foreign wars. Will he be able to accomplish this? We discuss....
The Word of God is sufficient for God's glory, salvation, and faith and life. Is all that is necessary to resolve every political problem, to create a sustainable culture, to give a people a united social vision, or provide all practical guidance for living in the material world"? We discuss CJay's very reasonable tweet and many other subjects.
"We the economic actors of the North American continent, in order to form a more efficient economy, establish trade lines, ensure GDP growth, provide for individual prosperity, promote personal welfare, and secure the blessings of the free market for anyone but our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of Consumption." Is how many people read the founding documents. But America is a particular people and place not an idea, it is not a global economic zone wit...
Daniel's vision in Chapter 7, though initially terrifying, ultimately conveys a message of hope for God's people. Daniel is deeply troubled by the vision of four monstrous kingdoms (Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome) emerging from the sea, but an angelic interpreter explains that these kingdoms will ultimately lose their dominion to the "saints of the Most High." The fourth beast, Rome, is highlighted for its expansive power over the known world, and the "little horn" symbolizes Herod and aposta...
Today we discuss dating, relationships, and the social dynamics of a socially engineered dystopia with Mr. Pat Stedman. NB: Language
Daniel 7 presents a prophetic vision where Daniel sees four beasts emerging from the turbulent "sea," symbolizing Gentile nations influenced by God's scattered people, Israel. These beasts represent successive world empires: Babylon (lion with eagle's wings), Persia (bear), Greece under Alexander (leopard), and Rome (a terrifying, undefined beast with ten horns), with the last featuring a blasphemous "little horn." The vision transitions to a divine scene where the "Ancient of Days" (God) presid...
Symbols are incredibly powerful. And there are few symbols more potent in demonstrating the continued existence of Christendom in the public mind than the widespread celebration of Christmas. This is why the often lampooned "war on Christmas" creates such a visceral reaction in many people. It IS our holiday. We love it. And despise those who would attack it or subvert it. To discuss what Christmas means in 2024 America, we are joined by Mr. Jared Lovell of The North American Anglican....
We are proud to announce the very first recipient of Contra Mundum's annual LOLCOW of the Year award, Mr. James Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay set himself apart from a very large field of finalists for this award with his recent attacks on the so-called "Woke Right." What really won it for him this year, more than anything else, was defining that term in such a way that the Founding Fathers, Protestant Reformers, and any and all figures in the history of Christendom who used political power for righteous ...
Over the weekend, the Syrian government collapsed as the civil war rapidly restarted, the Turks and Israelis invaded, and Russians were either unwilling or unable to render aid. As a result Bashar al-Assad has fled to Moscow and militant jihadists sponsored by the American Regime and its satellites in the region. After witnessing power be flexed to secure domination over Europe and now oust an unaligned regime in Syria, is it possible the decline of the Regime has been overstated? Is Turbo Ameri...
Recently bad actors online have trotted out the phrase "the woke right" to characterize paleoconservatives and the postliberal right as the mirror image of the very worst of the left. Why is this terminology so stupid? What is going on with these rhetorical games? We discuss with renowned author and Claremont Senior Fellow, Jeremy Carl.
The narrative of Daniel in the lion's den, while famous as a Sunday School tale, holds profound theological significance within the Book of Daniel. It encapsulates themes of death and resurrection, not only pertaining to Daniel but also symbolizing the broader experience of God's people under foreign rule. When Darius ascends as ruler of the oikoumene, he appoints satraps to govern his provinces, among whom Daniel excels. However, jealous officials conspire against him, manipulating Darius into ...
Have you ever stopped to think about how America has a holiday that sets aside a day to explicitly offer thanks to God for His many blessings to us? One that draws upon the history and heritage of our founding? Thanksgiving, more than any other American holiday, is THE holiday that celebrates our Christian heritage and our original founding.
We do not live in a materialist world, where we are merely atoms and molecules, particles and waves. The world that God has made is not just stuff. There is a world beyond what our eyes can see, and that is a world He has described in His Word. Far too many Christians reared in this materialist world end up as functional Deists. But we are Christians, not Deists. God is active, even supernaturally in His creation. We discuss these things with the hosts of Haunted Cosmos. http://farmerbillsprovis...
What exactly is an American? Does existing on Magic Dirt make someone an American? Or do you have to be born to or become part of a particular people? Is Christian faith alone a sufficient basis for civil order or is more required? We discuss all this and more with Mr. Auron MacIntyre.
The narrative in Daniel 5 portrays the end of the Babylonian Empire through the lens of a divine judgment. King Belshazzar, amidst a Persian siege, hosts a feast not out of despair but in a desperate, hopeful appeal to multiple gods, including the God of Israel, by using sacred vessels from Jerusalem's temple. This act of syncretism is seen as a counterfeit sacrament, challenging the true God amidst a spiritual battle where only He responds by inscribing a judgment on the wall: "Mene, Mene, Teke...
Donald Trump has begun selecting his cabinet. Matt Gaetz as AG Pete Hegseth as SecDef RFKjr at HHS Tom Homan as Border Czar Rubio as Secretary of State Could any of these picks be any better? Is He going to drain the swamp?
In the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, is tested by God through dreams and trials to recognize His sovereignty. Initially, he acknowledges God due to divine interventions like the miraculous survival of Daniel's friends from a fiery furnace, but his faith remains superficial. God sends a second dream of a great tree being cut down to a stump, symbolizing Nebuchadnezzar's pride and impending fall. Daniel interprets this as a warning of Nebuchadnezzar's fate to live like a b...
Join us as we cover the election results with special guests: Stephen Wolfe Charles Haywood Dusty Deevers William Wolfe Jeremy Carl
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego’s refusal to bow down to the golden image and willingness to burn in the fiery furnace is the 21st Century Christian’s refusal to bow down to the gods of ‘Our Democracy.’
Many people have heard those in the online right use the phrase "Post-War Consensus" as a sort of shorthand for cultural and political narrative surrounding contemporary liberal ideas. Dr. Paul Gottfried joins us today to define precisely what it is (and what it is NOT), discuss the history behind it, whether or not the post-war consensus is collapsing and, if so, what will the future look like?
The book of Daniel intertwines themes of God's sovereignty over earthly empires with his time's spiritual and political dynamics, focusing on God's revelation through dreams and visions to assert His ultimate control over history. Nebuchadnezzar, confronted by his own dreams, finds his pagan magicians powerless to interpret, leading to a decree of death. Through divine intervention, Daniel interprets the dream and explains its prophetic significance—detailing the rise and fall of successive worl...
The politics that Big Eva pushes upon American evangelicals is a disaster for our country. Recently one of the biggest figures in Big Eva, Matt Chandler, preached a sermon on politics. We invited Stephen Wolfe to join us in breaking down just how awful the ideas and thinking in this sermon are, and to give an alternative vision for conservative evangelical political thought.
Is the Bible patriarchal? Does feminism reject the fundamental realities of the Christian faith? Today we discuss the church, feminism, masculinity, and all things related with the author of Masculine Christianity and Honor Thy Fathers, Zachary Garris.
The passage outlines how Daniel and his friends, taken captive to Babylon, represent God's people amidst spiritual warfare against pagan gods. Despite being culturally assimilated through renaming and possible emasculation, Daniel resolves not to defile himself with the king's food, symbolizing a refusal to fully submit to Babylon's ways. Miraculously, God blesses their faithfulness with health and wisdom, surpassing Babylon's wise men, illustrating that even in captivity, God's sovereignty prev...
