Federalism and The Founders’ Vision with Charles C. W. Cooke

By Susan Pendergrass on Sep 30, 2024

See Charles C.W. Cooke live on October 9 in St. Charles, MO
Tickets and Details Here

Susan Pendergrass speaks with Charles C. W. Cooke, senior editor at National Review, about the growing trend of federal centralization and its threat to the U.S. federalist system.

They discuss how the founders intended for states and local communities to have control over their governance, and why the push to consolidate power in Washington undermines American principles of liberty and self-governance. Charles explains why this centralization is antithetical to the country’s founding ideals, the consequences of this shift, and why it’s essential to reverse course.
