In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Daniel J. Flynn, author of The Man Who Invented Conservatism, to explore the remarkable journey of Frank Meyer. Meyer is the communist-turned-conservative who shaped the intellectual foundation of the American Right. We discuss Meyer's dramatic transformation, the birth of fusionism, and what his story reveals about the state of conservatism today. Is the movement still anchored in limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility, or has it lost its way?

- How Meyer's philosophy of "fusionism" united libertarians and traditionalists and whether it still resonates in today's fractured conservative movement.
