I think that is the core definition of a conservative. Now, there are other definitions, and I would say I represent those as well. Fiscal conservatism is the idea that we should keep taxes low, keep spending low, let people keep more of their own money and prioritize personal freedom. And I definitely agree with that. Also, you can think of conservatism more in the social or moral issues. I'm pro life and pretty traditional in my moral worldview. (44:18–44:28)
