7am · Is liberal democracy running out of answers? · 25 Sep 2026 podcast

And my sense, I'm not going to say it's a prediction because that's hard to do in such an unpredictable environment, but my sense is that we're just going to see more and more disruption.

We're going to see more of these movements emerging.

You know, the work thing has declined.

Now we're seeing the rise or the emergence of

democratic socialist movement within the United States.

I don't know how far that will go, but that's what's happening on the left.

And if that declines, it'll be something else, right?

And the Trumpism thing is in trouble, but the J.D.

Vance thing might be the next thing.

And if not, if that fails, there'll be the next.

I think there will constantly be these things.

My guess is that if this is going to be solved, it'll be through some kind of renewed recommitment and reorientation to that which binds us.

So it'll be communal, it'll be community-focused, community-based, and it'll be some kind of retrieval, I think, of the idea of a common good, an idea that there is a thing that is good that is not about my interests versus your interests or playing off interests, but a good at the social level.

Now that's hugely controversial in practice because we'll disagree over that.

But I think it probably begins with us just becoming more used to having that conversation.

And maybe it takes decades, maybe it takes a century, I don't know how long it takes, but maybe something evolves out of that and maybe that can be hopeful.

But I can't put it any higher than kind of just hopeful speculation at this point.

I don't know if people will believe in the note, but there it is.

7am · Australia’s first far-left terrorism investigation and the rise of political violence · 9 Aug 2026 podcast

Well, we want to be careful here because uh these are allegations and we could end up before courts.

Sorry, when I say we, not you and me.
