David Reaboi: Trump, DeSantis, January 6 and America’s Divided Future

In this episode of Back in America, Stan Berteloot sits down with David Reaboi, a national security expert, media analyst, and Claremont Institute Fellow, known for his incisive takes on political warfare and influence operations. Dubbed a “right-wing Twitter pugilist” by Politico, David shares his unique perspective on some of the most contentious issues shaping the United States today.

We discuss his views on Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and the evolving dynamics of federalism. David offers his candid take on January 6, the role of political violence, and how America’s fractured unity might lead to a breaking point. Our conversation also explores Hungary’s role as a beacon for some conservatives, the influence of figures like Elon Musk, and whether America needs to reconcile its history of slavery and Native American displacement.

David provides a window into his worldview, shaped by his upbringing, intellectual pursuits, and career at the intersection of national security and political commentary.


From the conversation:

"Politics is there to reward your friend and to punish your enemies so that people will want to be your friend and not your enemy." -- David Reaboi- Trump, DeSantis, January 6 and America’s Divided Future

"Nothing lasts forever. All empires fall for the same reason: too many competing ideas about the nature of the good and justice." -- David Reaboi- Trump, DeSantis, January 6 and America’s Divided Future
