The latest Dispatch Live delves into Matthew Continetti’s new book: The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism. Jonah caught a brutal cold so he had to sit this one out, but David and first-time co-host Andrew Egger took his place. The show starts where Jonah and Matt left off after two hour-long episodes of The Remnant. So all modern conservative history—including Trump, Newt Gingrich, George W. Bush, and others—is discussed. Hang around to hear why maybe the most conservative president was… Bill Clinton?
The group finished by answering a few questions from Dispatch members: What defines “the right” more than just being “anti-left?” Will Matt be writing a book called “The Left?” What does the next 10 years of Republican politics look like? And who was that Rush Limbaugh guy?
