Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Would a Land Value Tax Fix That? (with Christopher England)
Q: So I guess first question, easy question, who is Henry George?
Christopher England explains that Henry George was a 19th-century American economist who argued that the root of inequality lay in land rents, not labor, and that taxing land values could fund public goods while preserving incentives for productive work.
After America, Nothing (with Nicholas Grossman)
Q: What should a future Democratic administration do about foreign policy in a world without a clear arbiter of rules?
Rebuild and renew international partnerships, strengthen democratic coalitions, and pursue pragmatic engagement that restores credibility, while pushing for transparency and anti-corruption efforts to curb authoritarian influence.
The Constitutional Crisis Is Here (with Robert Tracinski)
Q: What are voters telling you on the campaign trail?
Voters express hunger for attention to constitutional issues beyond affordability, desiring leadership that addresses the long-term integrity of the political system and how governance should function through Congress.
The Constitutional Crisis Is Here (with Robert Tracinski)
Q: Why are you running for office?
He explains the motivation as a wish to defend and restore the constitutional system from which he believes democracy and the republic have eroded, driven by experiences documenting executive overreach and a desire to fix the system rather than just critique from the sidelines.
What Next, Democrats? (with Bethany Andres-Beck)
Q: How would you balance foreign policy needs with domestic priorities, especially regarding AI and defense?
She argues for avoiding policy driven solely by contractor profits, supports defensive capabilities while pushing for transparency and accountability, and emphasizes reducing the role of money in foreign policy decisions.
