Description

Michael Lucchese, founder of Pipe Creek Consulting and associate editor at Law & Liberty, joins Scot Bertram for a fascinating conversation that bridges politics, culture, and philosophy. From the history and modern meaning of the filibuster to the intellectual legacy of William F. Buckley’s Cold War conservatism, Lucchese examines how ideas shape governance and values today. They also dive into the unexpected connections between classic conservative thought and the cinematic storytelling of Paul Thomas Anderson, exploring what both teach us about human nature, power, and moral conviction.
