Whatever you want to say about me, I am not a liberal.

And I find that most of my friends on the right are not liberals.

But we're told that to be a conservative today is to be a liberal.

That the conservatives are the real liberals,

and the liberals have become leftists.

And the leftists are like the socialists and the radicals,

and the Marxists, but not the classical liberals,

except for some, and it's very, very confusing.

But I know that I am not a liberal.

I know it down in my gut.

I know that I am a conservative, but what does it mean to be a conservative?

Well, my friend, Yoram Hazoni, will help us to discover that

because he's got a wonderful new book at Conservatism, A Rediscovery.

Yoram, thank you for coming on the show.

You're very welcome, and you should know that there was not one minute

during my entire life where I thought I was a liberal.

I am envious of you, that you knew that because,

especially these days, and especially in this country,

I fear that the liberals have gone completely radical

and half the conservatives are liberals,

and we can't even articulate what it means to be a conservative.

It's to be a conservative, to be a great defender of liberty.
