National Review's John O'Sullivan




Whiskey Politics show

Summary: <p>John O'Sullivan joins Whiskey Politics and generously covers many issues, starting with O'Sullivan's Law: "All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing." We discuss Trumps U.N. speech, North Korea (#Dotard!), William F. Buckley, today's National Review and the Never Trumper's, Europe in the age of Trump, why the conservative Australian model for Immigration works, the worldwide attacks on Free Speech, and should Google and Facebook be nationalized?</p><p>John is a former editor of National Review and since been editor-at-large of National Review and a senior fellow at the National Review Institute. He is also president of the Danube Institute, a think-tank devoted to promoting conservative and classical liberal ideas in Budapest, from where we had a fascinating discussion earlier this year with the Deputy Director and John’s better half, Melissa O’Sullivan which you can find here: Whiskey Politics. John also serves as director of the think-tank, 21st Century Initiatives in Washington DC. For decades John has been read, seen and heard across the media and served as Editor or Editor in chiefs at many publications including The London Times, Daily Telegraph, New York Post editorial, and others.</p><p>John was a special advisor and speechwriter for Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and authored the 1987 Conservative Party manifesto. He is the author of "The President, the Pope and the Prime Minister: Three Who Changed the World" which suggested the simultaneous presence of Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II was the cause of the Soviet collapse. Mr. O'Sullivan was recently appointed the editor of the distinguished Australian journal, Quadrant, in Sydney, Australia.</p><p>John can be followed on Twitter @JohnOSullivanNR</p><p>This episode of Whiskey Politics is brought to by SaveTheWest.com.</p><p>Please take a moment and subscribe to Whiskey Politics at YouTube and our audio podcasts at iTunes, Stitcher or GooglePlay where your 5-star rating and REVIEW really can help get the word out about our fledgling production (iTunes especially!)
