Rod and Kale have Yoram Hazony on to talk about his just released book "Conservatism: A Rediscovery."
 
They discuss:
- Can Conservatives learn to Conserve?
- Post-fusionism and Cultural Transmission
- Public and Personal realms
- No real "Neutrality"
- Honor creates a world
- Freedom above all and the dissolution of Family
- Woke as a placeholder for the loss of tradition
- Post WW2 cultural trauma
- The Bible's centrality
- The successes of Enlightenment Rationalism
- Institutional capture
- False nazi smears and "postures versus arguments"
- Fight for restoration not revolution
- Yoram's personal turn to Conservatism through lived tradition
