Caroline Downey from National Review joins Sean in an on-location interview from beautiful Hermosa Inn in Phoenix. In 1955, William F Buckley founded National Review to “stand athwart history, yelling Stop!” Nearly 70 years later, Caroline proves that NR is just as relevant today as it was in 1955.

Caroline has covered many issues for NR, including the impact of the trans movement on kids and the challenges facing Gen Z. She talks about the trans issue, what it might look like in the future, and she and Sean do some walking down memory lane about NR Founder William F. Buckley.
