    Would love to hear you interview VDH or Glenn Loury on anything! They have original takes on many subjects.

  • The Rabid Right’s Cruella deVille

    Even by the dismal standards of the the WSJ’s echo chamber known as the Editorial Board, the jut-jawed Kim Strassel (actually I didn’t know till she pronounced her name as Strawsel) is a particularly dire specimen. Yet, it is well worth the pod’s subscription just to listen to her (btw don’t expect to find stimulating discussions because unlike the Ezra Klein Show or Ross Douthat’s Interesting Times there is never any debate in this podcast, only agreement with sympathizers as guests) because yo... more

  • Kimberly Strassel can be counted on to deliver the facts, the truth, and with no bias or subterfuge as is the case with MSM. Her recent episode explaining the healthcare mess was most informative and helpful.

  • Never Miss Your Podcast!

    Was so glad you decided to have a weekly podcast. Your insights and clear articulation of all the current issues have been outstanding! I started the WSJ years ago because of Peggy Noonan but she has definitely slipped a few rungs. I would have discontinued my subscription but your columns (and now podcast) have kept me interested. Keep going!

    Kim Strassel is the primary reason that I subscribe to the WSJ. Her pod stands out in the sea of journalist podcasts. No BS.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sen. Bill Cassidy on Social Security Reform and Donald Trump’s ‘Majority of One’
Q: How do you respond to concerns about using market mechanisms and expanding taxes?
He argues that the plan uses market-based tools to improve outcomes, compares to past proposals from Clinton and W. Bush, and stresses a pragmatic approach over ideological purity, aiming to find middle-ground support.
Sen. Bill Cassidy on Social Security Reform and Donald Trump’s ‘Majority of One’
Q: What gives you confidence this can pass in a lame-duck session?
He asserts there is already bipartisan interest and commitments from key Senate chairs and members, including the Senate Finance Chair and John Thune, and believes the issue can gain momentum and become a cross-party package if more senators join and hearings/markups are scheduled.
Sen. Bill Cassidy on Social Security Reform and Donald Trump’s ‘Majority of One’
Q: Describe your Social Security proposal.
Cassidy proposes creating a separate investment fund with about $1.5 trillion, investing it in the economy and keeping it in escrow for several decades, using returns to cover a portion of unfunded liabilities and potentially reducing long-term yields, while maintaining an arms-length relationship between Congress and decision-makers to protect the fund and tying any yield changes to tax adjustments as a backstop.
What's Next In the U.S.-Canada Trade War?
Q: What could help calm the situation and lead to a deal before or after the midterms?
A combination of stepping back from immediate tariff threats, focusing on areas with robust economic benefits, and leveraging the existing economic interdependence to push toward a long-term, mutually beneficial agreement.
What's Next In the U.S.-Canada Trade War?
Q: Is there any scenario where this tariff war could be less painful for American manufacturers?
Yes, if cooler heads prevail, the majority of trade remains duty-free, and negotiators find a way to pause escalations and return to the USMCA framework with targeted, limited adjustments.
