Judge Stephen F. Williams (1936 – 2020) was not only a storied fixture of the United States Court of Appeals’ D.C. Circuit, but a prolific author with wide-ranging expertise.

In this episode of the Bradley Lectures Podcast, AEI Senior
Fellow Karlyn Bowman
and Resident Scholar Adam J. White join to discuss Judge Williams’ lasting legacy and learn from his lecture on efforts to liberalize post-Soviet Russia. We hope you will find that there are lessons to be learned from both.

Jonah Goldberg joins the show to discuss George Will’s Bradley Lecture, how Dr. Will humbled Young Jonah with an answer that launched a thousand op-eds, and to ruminate on political questions big and small.

The late 20th century brought into existence a new species of moneyed elite. This highly educated nouveau riche combined traditional bourgeois ethic with bohemian tastes to form a new species that David Brooks called the “Bobo.”
