Expert guides on US conservatism, Sam Adler-Bell and Matthew Sitman from Know Your Enemy, discuss the differences between US and UK conservatism, the impact of Trump's presidency, the evolution of conservative factions post-World War II, the intersection of wealth and isolationism in conservative politics, and reassessing the UK-US special relationship post-Brexit. They also analyze the rise of a right-wing special relationship and provide insights on UK and US election predictions.

Former young conservative, Matthew Sitman, joins the podcast to discuss the intellectual right's fascination with Straussian philosophy and its connection to American right's current political projects. They explore Leo Strauss' influence on American conservatism, the seductiveness of Straussianism, and the challenges faced by intellectuals in getting funding for their work. They also delve into the extent to which the right wing will push their agenda, the frustrations with purity politics on the left, and the erosion of public goods and the common good.
