National Review’s Charles C. W. Cooke joins Chris and Sean for a wide-ranging conversation on the enduring legacy of William F. Buckley and the pivotal role National Review continues to play in shaping conservative thought.
Cooke unpacks the current state of politics and the conservative movement—its momentum, its challenges, and the obstacles ahead. The discussion also turns to the Democratic Party’s internal unraveling as the progressive Left tightens its grip, raising questions about where their radicalism may ultimately lead.
With trademark wit and sharp analysis, Cooke channels the spirit of Buckley himself—making this a lively, thought-provoking episode you won’t want to miss.
