Conservative Foreign Policy for Dummies (in the Mainstream Media)
Jim Antle and Curtis Mills join the show today
My friends Jim Antle and Curt Mills join Trip the Beltway Fantastic this week to shed light on a familiar but mostly misunderstood subject: the schism in the conservative movement over foreign policy. Mainstream media has deliberately (or due to a lack of laziness and ignorance) set the divide up thusly: Traditional hawks vs. Isolationists. We break down the false premise, but more importantly, we flesh out the real differences, and how Trump and other voices on the right have been slowly, systematically, bringing conservative foreign policy back to some clear fundamentals: U.S. interests are not better served by having an activist foreign policy out in search of monsters to destroy, seeking to spread democracy and American values abroad while ignoring liberty, prosperity and security at home.
Antle is the executive editor of the Washington Examiner.
Mills is the executive director of The American Conservative.
