National Conservatism Conference

Just looking around America, there's always something to, to talk about.

And in particular, what is this crazy thing that happened? Because it says so much, none of it good, about after the National Conservatism Conference, a comment that was made involving, involving George Kennan and you.

Yeah.

Well, first I just wanted to say, if you get tired of the heat down there at any time, I have a second ax, and if you wanna come help chop wood up in northern Idaho, we got a spot for you always.

Well, we just got our first snow flurries yesterday, so like I said, we have a, we have a nice warm spare room for you if you, uh, don't mind chopping wood.

Okay.

But yeah, so they had that National Conservatism Conference, that thing Yoram Hazony puts on, and they had it in Jerusalem on October 7th, which, you know, is an interesting choice, putting it on the anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto like that.

Just, you know, interesting historical reference by Yoram.

I wanted to talk about this when we were doing our Q&A thing, but I didn't get to it.

What is this? But it is important, I think, and it's, you know, part of that, part of the question of that whole National Conservatism Conference.

Like, why are they, why is the American National Conservatism Conference happening in Jerusalem? And like, can't you people see what's going on here? The Israelis saw that the American right was moving to the right from W.

Bush.

No, we're stricter on immigration actually now, and we're, you know, whatever.

Do you see what I'm saying? And again, the-- It's bizarre that this whole conversation is happening, and I would connect this to the NatCon conference that they went through.

Remember, John Poteritz sort of blew up Yoram Hazony's psyop that he's been running for 30 years by claiming that in 1996, he was standing in the West Bank with Yoram Hazony, the leader of the National Conservatism Conference, and Yoram Hazony said, "You know what we need to do to support Israeli, you know, uh, greater Israel project and Israel conquering the West Bank is we need to get Europeans on our side of Israeli nationalism.

We're going to use nationalism as a concept to get people on side of Israel so that we can take over the land of the Palestinians." And then there, you know, then at the NatCon conference, you had half the people sort of taking the f-- You know, this guy that we just heard laid out two positions, and you had half the people sort of take the one that said, you know, "White nationalism is still the, the greatest threat, and we need to oppose that," and the other half going, "Well, actually, if we want to, you know, succeed in the future, we need to not be, uh, expelling and alienating white people who see the way that the Jewish community undermines their national sovereignty." Again, as that guy just admitted.

Uh, that's another reason I wanted to show that is because this has been a, a pretty big topic of conversation, and we've heard multiple people, including people like Adam King, when he was talking to Alex, claim that, you know, nationalism itself is a, is a Jewish concept and that, you know, these European countries need to be more like Israel as if Israel is the, uh, you know, example for everybody else.

So that's vulnerablepeopleproject.com and savewestbankchristians.com. Today, I'm joined by the great Stephen Herriot, and we're gonna be talking about, um, the National Conservatism Conference.

I-- Is that the name, Stephen Herriot?

That's the name of it, the National Conservatism Conference, although our colleague Halil has an idea for changing its name, and it's taking place this week in Jerusalem.

Ooh, what's the, what's the name change?

Well, he said it should just be called the, um, the National Nationalist Israeli Conference or something like that.

Really.

Don't you think? I mean, I've been shocked.
