This is the eighth episode of The Hub’s bi-weekly series featuring editor-at-large Sean Speer in conversation with leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum.
The two discuss the rise of so-called “political capitalism” as corporations become more actively involved within the political sphere, what’s behind the Florida governor Ron DeSantis’ conflict with Disney, what these developments tell us about the state of contemporary conservatism, and whether or not the Republican Party’s confrontational stance towards culture war opponents is purely performative.
You can listen to this episode of Hub Dialogues on Acast, Amazon, Apple, Google, Spotify, or YouTube.
