  • Conservative Alternative to Ezra Klein

    Very good conversations between well read, thoughtful, and most importantly, honest brokers in our ongoing world of different opinions. Moves along in an entertaining way, really does address both sides, even if their preference is evident, which is par for the course after all.

  • Rufo and Lomez bring a great perspective for conservatives. They are both highly intelligent and I appreciate listening to that versus other conservative podcasters.

  • Bunny vs Rock

    Loved discussion from divergent viewpoints. Opened my conservative eyes in a positive way. Both offered thoughtful suggestions to try to wrest the culture back toward the middle.

  • Please, stop saying “like” every other word!

    Chris Rufo is a stellar journalist & activist. I’ve long admired his work. He deserves a better cohost. Lomez sounds like a CA Valley girl who can’t stop inserting “like” in nearly every sentence. This is a very annoying colloquialism that detracts from the intelligence of the conversation. Chris Rufo’s commentary is diminished by it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview w/ Steve Hilton: California’s Missing Billions | Ep 37
Q: What's happening in California that makes this moment different from before?
Hilton argues the state is in a crisis of governance driven by Democratic one-party rule, extensive fraud, and a corrupt funding machine that channels taxpayer money to political nonprofits and donor-affiliated entities, making reform both urgent and difficult.
How Your iPhone Is Killing America’s Fertility Rate | Ep 36
Q: What single policy lever would most effectively raise fertility to 2.0 in a Caesar-like scenario?
Reforming means-tested programs to convert marriage penalties into marriage bonuses could be the most impactful, paired with housing policy that enables affordable starter homes; this would reduce disincentives to marry and start families.
How Your iPhone Is Killing America’s Fertility Rate | Ep 36
Q: Is it really possible that stated desires for family size are accurate predictors of future behavior, or do revealed preferences dominate?
The data show a strong correlation between stated desires and future behavior, especially for those who marry earlier, suggesting that expressed preferences do have predictive power, though context and timing matter.
Interview w/ Blake Neff: The Right’s Biggest Threat Isn’t the Left—It’s The Influencers
Q: What changes would you like to see in the right's foreign policy conversation to keep it energized and credible?
A robust debate across the spectrum on foreign policy, including non-interventionist and hawkish voices, to prevent energy from being spent on internal infighting and instead address actual policy choices.
Interview w/ Blake Neff: The Right’s Biggest Threat Isn’t the Left—It’s The Influencers
Q: How would you assess the legacy of Charlie Kirk in shaping the movement, and what happens when a central figure is no longer in that role?
Charlie was a unifier and a practical organizer; his absence creates a void that is hard to fill, making it essential for others to step up and demonstrate coalition-management skills and a clear strategic direction.
