The Soft Republic | EP75 | The White House Podcast LIVE 🏛🔴

Professor Penn and Royce White examine the growing divide between kitchen-table politics and real governing principles, arguing that America’s crisis is spiritual, economic, and civic all at once. They connect rising oil prices, global trade instability, tariffs, manufacturing, and the financialization of the economy to the deeper loss of self-governance in American life. The conversation turns toward the Republican Party’s broken ideological framework, insecure elections, “electable” candidates, and the failure of conservative Christians to defend their own stated principles. Through debates over war, tariffs, voting integrity, and Minnesota politics, they call for a return to “just right” Republicanism rooted in courage, competence, and principle.
