  • Number 1 Podcast for me

    Ryan’s podcast is now the one I never want to miss. So glad he’s going to have 3 weekly podcasts. Anyone running for office should heed Ryan’s advice based on his compilation of polling data. Ryan comes across as affable and no nonsense. I appreciate his self deprecating humor. But never fear he’s wicked smart!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It's a Numbers Game: The Numbers Behind 2028: Is JD Vance Inevitable? Democrats in Disarray & Jeffries’ House Problem
Q: Is JD Vance inevitable?
The guest and host acknowledge that Vance is not inevitable due to Rubio's rising momentum, donor concerns about Vance's persona, and the possibility of other contenders entering or reconfiguring the field.
It's a Numbers Game: The Numbers Behind Illinois Primaries: $32M Spending, PAC Power & Political Winners
Q: What did you see as the core messaging strategies that worked for the successful candidates?
Campaigns emphasized fighter-like branding against Trump-era policies and practical, tangible policy proposals over broad ideological appeals, which helped candidates connect with voters amid intense outside spending.
It's a Numbers Game: The Numbers Behind Illinois Primaries: $32M Spending, PAC Power & Political Winners
Q: How did outside money influence the races, and what does this imply for the future of election finance?
Outside money, especially from AI/crypto interests, dominated the airwaves and mail, shaping perceptions and diluting traditional donor visibility; this suggests a continued rise in PAC-driven campaigning and a need for more transparent disclosure mechanisms.
It's a Numbers Game: The Numbers Behind Illinois Primaries: $32M Spending, PAC Power & Political Winners
Q: Who were the biggest winners and losers in the Illinois primary according to your reporting?
Governor J.B. Pritzker emerged as the biggest winner, leveraging his wealth to shape down-ballot races and support allies like Julianna Stratton, while AIPAC and crypto-related groups had mixed results, succeeding in some districts but not achieving a clean sweep.
It's a Numbers Game: AI Panic Explodes: Voters Turn on Big Tech, Jobs at Risk & 2028 Shake-Up
Q: You wrote a really interesting piece called Everybody Hates AI. What does that say about which party voters trust on AI policy, and why is AI considered a political no-man's-land right now?
Andrew Egger explains that there is no clear partisan consensus on AI policy; voters are still forming judgments about which party handles AI best, with Republicans seen as more aggressive on market-friendly approaches and Democrats aiming to restrain rapid deployment. The rapidly evolving nature of AI creates strategic uncertainty for both sides, and the issue has become salient due to anticipated disruption, energy and regulatory concerns, and the influence of industry lobbying.
