Charles C.W. Cooke Explains Conservatarianism [AUDIO]

It's an exciting time on the program, as one of our favorite guests has a new book on the way. In fact, it's the debut from Charles C.W. Cooke, who's a writer at National Review and a graduate of the University of Oxford, at which he studied modern history and politics.

Charles has been joining us on "Riley & Scot" for the better part of four years (as we were reminded during the interview), talking about any number of issues including Second Amendment issues, free speech, and more.

The forthcoming book is called, "The Conservatarian Manifesto" and it's out March 10. Charles describes it as a call to arms for the growing group of the right who are fiscally conservative but more socially liberal. In it, Charles talks about the coming together of conservatives and libertarians in a new movement:

Conservatarians are vexed by Republicans’ failure to cut the size and scope of Washington D.C., but they are critical of some libertarians for their unacceptable positions on abortion, national defense, and immigration. They applaud conservatives’ efforts to protect Second Amendment rights—efforts that have recently been wildly successful—but they see the War on Drugs as an unmitigated disaster that goes against everything conservatives ought to value.
