Podcast Episode #27 - Josh Lewis on Re-igniting Conservatism

In this episode, Robert Fojo welcomes Josh Lewis. Josh is the host of his own podcast: Saving Elephants: Millennials Defending and Expressing Conservative Values. He is also a CPA in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Josh is a student of the conservative movement championed by Edmund Burke, Russel Kirk, William F. Buckley, Thomas Sowell, and many others. He is passionate about conservatism surviving and thriving in the 21st century. He is interested in sharing how the conservative worldview offers solutions to our unique challenges, including learning ways to celebrate and revitalize the uniqueness of the multitude of sub-cultures within America, addressing the loss of civil society and institutions that provide our lives with meaning and community, and continuously striving to balance order and liberty in the soul of the individual and our nation. Robert and Josh discussed how to define conservatism, the history of conservatism, who shaped conservative thought, how best to explain and teach conservative values to others, whether the Republican Party embodies conservative ideas, Donald Trump's political philosophy, whether conservative ideas can bridge the deep politicized divide between the right and the left in today's society, and Josh's affinity for polar bear plunging.
