  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Campaign Pledge: Make Ohio 'Greater' Than Ever
Q: What provisions would you support in Congress that could help Ohio align with your agenda on mobility, school choice, and economic growth?
Support for school choice incentives, targeted Medicaid fraud reduction with state-level flexibility, and stronger federal-state partnership designs to reward mobility from poverty to middle class while removing perverse benefit cliffs that discourage work.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s Campaign Pledge: Make Ohio 'Greater' Than Ever
Q: Education is a central piece of your platform, focusing on standards and parental choice. How do you reconcile funding for schools with your push for rollback in property taxes?
By restoring pre-pandemic funding levels combined with high standards, literacy goals, and allowing parental choice to drive outcomes, so that dollars follow accountability and outcomes rather than simply increasing funds without improving performance.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s Campaign Pledge: Make Ohio 'Greater' Than Ever
Q: Talk a little bit about your tax agenda, particularly rolling back property taxes and phasing out the state income tax. How do you plan to fund it and where will the revenue come from instead?
The plan mirrors successful models in Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, starting with eliminating capital gains taxes to boost in-state investment, then delivering the largest property tax reduction in Ohio's history while preserving essential services by broadening the tax base and improving efficiency.
NRSC Chair Tim Scott Handicaps the Senate Midterm Map
Q: How do you assess the current map and which states are the riskiest or most favorable for maintaining the majority?
Tim Scott walks through Maine, North Carolina, Alaska, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia, and Texas as critical battlegrounds, arguing that endorsements, candidate quality, and targeted resource deployment will determine where the NRSC can protect or gain seats.
The Left's Exercise In Political Self-Deception
Q: What does the guest think about the Democrats' affordability messaging and its effectiveness in actually delivering economic benefits for voters?
The guest criticizes affordability messaging as slogan-based and not backed by feasible policy plans, arguing that it rings hollow without real, implementable strategies to improve economic conditions beyond superficial price stability.
