This week marks the 100th episode of Defending Ideas—and to celebrate, we’re joined by one of the nation’s leading conservative thinkers. Ramesh Ponnuru is editor of National Review, a columnist for The Washington Post, and a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

In this milestone conversation, Ramesh and host Nic Dunn explore the current state of the conservative movement, where it’s headed, and how to build a forward-looking, reform-minded vision grounded in constitutional principles and the promise of the American Dream.

If you’re ready to move beyond short-term political fights and focus on what conservatism should stand for, this episode is for you.

Defending Ideas is a weekly podcast produced by Sutherland Institute. On this show we are committed to renewing the principles of common sense conservatism, equipping listeners to become more effective champions of sound principle and good policy. Visit defendingideas.org.
