On September 23, 2021, the James Madison Program and the Ethics and Public Policy Center hosted a discussion of Robert P. George and Ryan T. Anderson’s 2019 National Affairs essay, “The Baby and the Bathwater.” George and Anderson delivered remarks and then spoke with Alexandra DeSanctis and Antonin Scalia about the central themes of the essay, and how the philosophical framework they set out applies to America.

    Q: Why have social conservatives lost?

    A: Because right-wing think tanks haven’t hired enough of them.

    Amazing. That says it all, folks. This was an interesting podcast, but . . . boy, does it illustrate how out of touch the six conservatives in academia are.
