Listened to the full almost 3+ hours of the @The_Kings_Hall podcast.

The story of William Buckley, his influence on Doug for 53+ years through The National Review, and Doug specifically saying he models his approach after him is one of the wildest things. I had no idea.

I don’t think it discredits everything that @douglaswils or the team at canon press has done in any case at all. But it certainly colors and lends insight into why he’s been behaving this way particularly recently with this issue. It’s intentional, not accidental, which is pretty sad to see.

Again, no one is perfect and it’s just sad that it had to get to this point at all.

Great job with the episode @Brian_Sauve @Eric_Conn and @DanBerkholder — the very long cold open story and framing was most helpful.
