Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 190 ratings
  • 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.

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.
The Left's Exercise In Political Self-Deception
Q: Looking ahead to 2028, what is the best and worst-case scenario for the Democratic Party if they fail to change significantly?
Worst case: the party maintains its current positions and cedes ground to a more effectively managed or different right-leaning coalition, potentially shifting control for years. Best case: Democrats nominate a candidate who moderates on cultural issues while pursuing a pragmatic economic agenda, potentially rebranding success and expanding the coalition, albeit with significant uncertainties.
The Left's Exercise In Political Self-Deception
Q: What would you say about the idea that Democrats need a 'Trump-style' figure to shake up the coalition, and who might fit that mold if anyone?
The guest argues that Democrats would benefit from someone willing to break with party orthodoxies and broaden coalitions, not necessarily a Trump clone, but a leader who can appeal to a wider, more diverse electorate by challenging core party positions and mobilizing new constituencies.
The Left's Exercise In Political Self-Deception
Q: Welcome back. Is there anybody out there actually trying a different approach among governors or candidates that could represent smarter politics?
The guest suggests that candidates who break with orthodox Democratic positions or who present a genuinely heterodox approach are scarce; a more moderate or reformist Democrat could emerge, but as of now there are few clear examples beyond a few cautious figures.
