The End Of Conservatism and Our Nationalist Vision For The Future

Andrew Torba Season 3 Episode 3

Start with a hard question: if a movement keeps losing the fights that define a nation’s future, is the movement itself the problem? We confront the conservative establishment’s incentives—donor appeasement, media contracts, and social status—and track how those rewards displaced duty. The result, we argue, is a politics that conserved portfolios and prestige while Main Streets hollowed out, institutions were captured, and a generation learned that polite losses don’t protect anyone they love.

We map a clear generational turn. Younger right-leaning listeners have drifted from legacy outlets and think tanks toward writers and communities that name power, demographics, and identity directly. That shift isn’t about edginess; it’s about responsibility. If culture follows power, then commentary without leverage is a dead end. We lay out a restorationist posture: prioritize home over abstractions, orient policy around children and continuity, and place local authority above distant bureaucracy. Love of one’s people moves from sentiment to strategy, shaping what gets built and defended.

From critique to action, we offer a concrete program. Defund organizations that launder outrage into inaction. Build parallel infrastructure—media, finance, education—capable of surviving pressure. Primary officials captured by donor networks and flood party machinery at the precinct and county level to convert energy into control. Speak in plain language about goals and opponents, accepting reputational risk as the price of clarity. Opposition, deplatforming, and denunciation become signals to adapt and scale, not reasons to retreat.

By the end, we position nationalism not as a transgression but as historical normalcy: peoples protect their interests, honor inheritance, and secure a future for their children. The old coalition had its run; the new work starts where listeners live.

SPEAKER_00:

The end of conservatism and our nationalist vision for the future. For three decades they told us that if we just pulled the lever harder, emptied our pockets deeper, and bent our knees a little lower, we could keep the America that our fathers built. The truth is they were never fighting for you. They were fighting for their position, for their donors who signed their paychecks, for the think tank fellowships and their Fox News contributor contracts, and their invitations to the right cocktail parties in Georgetown, where they could toast each other while the country burned. Let me say what every young man under forty already knows in his bones, but what every paid shill at the National Review and the Heritage Foundation will scream is heresy. The conservative movement deserves to die. Its end is the precondition for our own survival. You cannot conserve what has already been lost through half measures and cowardice. You cannot conserve a nation that has been demographically transformed, spiritually hauled out, and culturally conquered while you were busy patting yourselves on the backs for accomplishing nothing. You stood there yelling while the enemy steamrolled right over you, took your institutions, brainwashed your children, and laughed at your impotence. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled wasn't convincing the world that he didn't exist. No, it was convincing conservatives that principles mattered more than power, and that civility was more important than victory. And finally, that losing gracefully was somehow more honorable than winning and actually conserving something. Let's just be brutally honest about what conservatism has actually conserved. They've conserved their Dorner portfolios, they've conserved their own jobs, they've concerned their respectability among the very elites who hate you and want you destroyed. But what did they not conserve? Your small town Main Street that was gutted by Walmart and Amazon while they preached about free markets, your children's innocence, which was shredded by drag queen story hour and the pornographic school curricula, while they mumbled about local control. Your son's futures, which were shipped overseas to die in desert wars for democracy, while they saluted the flag and called it patriotism. Your daughter's safety, which was sacrificed at the altar of open borders and legal immigration, while they collected campaign checks from the Chamber of Commerce. Your faith, which was mocked and marginalized, while they assured you that the Judeo-Christian values were the real bedrock, whatever that means. Your nation, which doesn't exist anymore, in any meaningful sense, having been reduced to a GDP and a flag they wrapped themselves in while auctioning off the remains. Conservatives have lost every single battle that mattered, every single one. After the complete and total failure of their entire project, they now have the audacity, the unmitigated gall to tell the rising generation of right-wing youth that we're the problem, that we're too extreme, that our vision is un-American. Let me be clear. The Americanism of conservatism is a rotting corpse wearing a MAGA hat. And I want to name names, because the first step in divorce is seeing your abuser for what they are. Let's start with APAC, the Zionist megadonors, and the neocon warmongers who have spent 70 years sending American boys to die for foreign interests, who have manipulated our foreign policy for their own ends, and who will label you an anti-Semite the moment you question why we're still funding wars that have nothing to do with our country. They can have their forever wars because we're done with them. People like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin and Josh Hammer, they'll speak eloquently about Western civilization while never once naming the forces that are actually destroying it. They will tell you that facts don't care about your feelings, while demanding that you have no feelings about your people being replaced in the country your ancestors built. But then you have to have a lot of feelings about some foreign country thousands of miles away that they care about. They are a controlled opposition, giving you just enough truth to make the poison palpable. The Heritage Foundation and others like it have been conserving us right into cultural oblivion for over 50 years. They've published a million white papers while the left took over every institution that actually matters. Their Project 25 to 2025 is a joke. It's window dressing on a burning building. You can't bureaucratically manage your state your way out of civilizational collapse. These people and the billionaires, the hedge fund managers, the corporate oligarchs who fund them, they can have zero say in our movement going forward. Zero leadership positions, zero influence. This isn't negotiable and this isn't a debate. Here's what terrifies these people the conservative ink machine. The youth have already left them and they know it. Walk onto any college campus, any high school, any youth group of actual patriots, and you'll find something extraordinary. You'll find young men and women who have already psychologically divorced themselves from the conservative movement. They don't read National Review. They don't watch Fox News, they don't listen to Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin. They don't care what some bow tied libertarian at a think tank says about principles. They're reading dissonant writers. They're sharing memes that would make the Heritage Foundation's head explode. They're asking questions about demographics, identity, power, and culture that the gatekeepers absolutely cannot answer without exposing their entire grift. They've seen the data, they've seen the facts, they know that demographics are destiny isn't a controversial statement, but rather a mathematical fact. They understand that culture is downstream of power, not the other way around. They watch their parents' generation lose everything while following the conservative playbook to the letter, and they've concluded the only rational response and understanding is that the playbook is designed for them to lose. Young right-wing nationalists are not conservative in any meaningful sense. They are restorationists. They want to restore a nation, not conserve its current hollowed-out state. They want to reclaim their birthright. They want to build something new from the ashes of something old and betrayed. We don't care about tax cuts. They care about whether or not they will have a future in the country that their ancestors built. They don't care about entitlement reform. They care about whether their children will inherit the country they love. They don't care about standing with Israel or Ukraine or Taiwan. They care about America first, last, and always. They understand something the conservative establishment never will. You cannot have a meaningful political strategy without loving the people that you represent. The conservative movement long ago stopped representing and caring about the American people if it ever did at all. What is the vision of young right wing nationalists? It is a vision of home, of a place that is ours, where our children can grow up safe, where our traditions can flourish, where our faith is honored and our ancestors are remembered. It is a vision of sovereignty, not just national sovereignty, though that is crucial, but personal sovereignty, the sovereignty of the family over the state, the sovereignty of the local community over the distant bureaucracy, the sovereignty of our people over our own destiny. It is a vision of truth, hard, unvarnished truth. Yes, demographics matter. Yes, race is real and shapes culture. Yes, gender is not a social construct. Yes, our enemies hate us and want us dead or subjugated. And yes, power is the only language the regime understands. Ours is a vision of courage, not the fake courage of sending others to die in foreign wars, but real courage of saying what is true when the entire system will destroy you for saying it, of building parallel institutions when the regime cuts you off, of standing firm when they come for your job, your bank account, and your reputation. It is a vision of victory, not the moral victories that conservatives have been celebrating for 30 years while losing everything, actual victory. Taking power, using it, implementing a program that serves our people, and crushing our enemies, politically, culturally, and economically. This vision is not fascist or authoritarian or whatever other scarlet letter the regime's commissioners want to brand us with. This is normal. It is what every healthy people throughout history has always done: pursued their own interests, defended their own existence, and secured a future for their own children. The only reason that this sounds extreme is because we're living in an extreme age, an age of civilizational suicide, where healthy instincts have been demonized and survival itself is labeled as hate. So, how do we finalize this divorce? How do we ensure the neocons, the donors, the gatekeepers, they have zero say, zero leadership, and zero influence in this movement? First, we need to stop funding our enemies. Stop giving money to candidates who take corporate PAC money. Stop donating to conservative organizations that won't name the anti-white hatred being taught in our schools. Stop subscribing to magazines and publications that exist to manage your anger, not channel it into victory. Second, we need to build our own institutions. Gab is proof that this can be done. We built our own infrastructure when they banned us from everything. We have our own AI, our own servers, our own social network. Every young nationalist should be thinking about how to build parallel structures in media, finance, education, commerce that are explicitly for us and explicitly outside of their control. Third, we need to primary every single Republican who takes donor money from the people destroying us. No more excuses. No more, but they vote the right way 70% of the time. 70% isn't good enough when the other 30% is demographic replacement and forever wars. We run candidates who say the quiet part out loud, who talk about white interests explicitly, who put America first, who name the ADL and APAC and George Soros as enemies. These people who reject corporate funding entirely and are run on small dollar donations from our people. Fourth, we take over the existing infrastructure where possible. The GOP precinct strategy is working. Young nationalists are flooding local party positions. We're becoming election judges, party chairmen, county commissioners. We're the ones showing up while the old guard dies off. When the time comes, and it is coming soon, we will simply be the Republican Party. The neocons will have nowhere left to go. Fifth, we tell the truth louder and more aggressively than ever before. No more dog whistles, no more coded language. We speak plainly about who we are, what we want, and who stands in our way. When they call us names, we wear them as a badge of honor. When they try to silence us, we get louder. When they ban us, we build our own platforms and we make them bigger than the originals. This divorce won't be clean. It's not going to be amicable. The conservative establishment will fight like hell to maintain control because without us, their entire grift collapses. They'll call us names, they'll try to outlaw our speech, let them. Every attack is an advertisement. Every denunciation brings more of our people to our side. Every attempt to silence us proves our point about who really has the power and how they use it. We're not building a new conservatism. We're building something older, deeper, and truer. It's a nationalism that is rooted in blood and soil, faith and family, identity and inheritance. A politics that recognizes that a nation is not a proposition or an economy or a military alliance. It is a people. The neocons had their chance, the donors had their run, and the gatekeepers had their moment. That moment is over. Their project failed. Their philosophy is bankrupt. Their leadership is compromised and corrupt. We are the new vanguard. We are the young men and women who will reclaim our nation. We have the energy, the truth, and the will to win. They have nothing but fading institutional power and amount of donor cash that they just can't buy relevance for them anymore. This divorce is final, the papers are signed, we're keeping the house, the kids, and the flag. They can keep their think tanks, their donor retreats, and their hollow principles. The future belongs to those who fight for it, and we are done fighting for scraps from the master's table. We're fighting for our home, we're fighting for our people, we're fighting for victory. No donor, no gatekeeper, no neocon, warmonger, and no regime commissioner will stand in our way. Onward to the real fight, onward to the future, and onward to victory.
