Donald Trump, The Woke Right, and Russia's Invasion (Fr. Jason Charron) | Ep. 520

The conversation centers on the concept of the "Woke Right," with Fr. Jason Charron defining it as a group opposing the left's evils but lacking adherence to enduring principles of faith and reason. He critiques the movement's unprincipled nature and its emotional reactions, contrasting it with the Catholic intellectual tradition. The discussion extends to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, where Charron challenges the "steel man" pro-Russia arguments, particularly regarding NATO expansion and cultural defense, citing Russia's high abortion rates and low church attendance. He also addresses Trump's views on Zelensky, emphasizing the importance of truth over political allegiance. The discussion also touches on Russia's demographic challenges and its need to regain populations from former republics.
