Last time, we tackled the rise of the so-called “Woke Right”—and you wanted more. So today, we’re diving deeper. Because not everyone using postliberal arguments fits that label. Think Carl Benjamin, Matt Walsh, Auron MacIntyre. What exactly are they arguing? And do they have a point? Let’s break down the three big claims for why the Right is afraid to wield power.

0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome back to making the argument. Last week, we had a discussion on the |
0:03.8 | woke right. What was it? Who are they? Is it even a fair term to use? And you know what we got |
0:08.7 | in the comments section? A lot of hostility because they were frustrated that we weren't able to |
0:13.2 | spend more time on that topic and actually flesh out this discussion the way it deserves to be |
0:19.4 | considered. Because while there are some fair points about people on the right that perhaps use some |
0:26.3 | bad arguments or arguments that look a lot like what we see coming out of the woke left, |
0:30.7 | that doesn't mean that everybody that is now getting labeled with this tag of woke |
0:35.5 | right properly falls within that definition. |
0:39.4 | And what we might say is kind of an ill-defined definition. |
0:43.0 | So today what we're going to talk about is we're going to focus a little bit more on |
0:46.0 | what are the critiques coming from the people who we kind of agree are falsely accused of being |
0:52.0 | woke right? |
0:53.2 | What are there critiques of classical liberal right. What are there critiques of classical |
0:55.3 | liberalism? What are there critiques of certain ideas, notions, or philosophies that have |
1:00.4 | become somewhat sacred in what we call American conservatism? Because the bottom line is they make |
1:06.5 | some good points. And it's not fair to simply dismiss it because that might lead us down a |
1:12.1 | road that some of us maybe don't want to go down. Maybe other of us do want to go down. But we can't |
1:16.9 | even have a good conversation about it if we automatically tag someone with a moniker that essentially |
1:22.4 | cancels them or excludes them from the conversation. So today, we're going to focus specifically on some of the critiques we hear coming from |
1:31.4 | prominent voices like Carl Benjamin, like Aaron McIntyre, like Matt Walsh and Tucker Carlson. |
1:36.8 | We're going to hear them out. |
1:37.9 | What do they have to say? |
