  • Presidents v. World, with Jonathan Stokes
    May 13 2025

    April 2025 will be remembered as the month when President Donald Trump declared war against the entire world -- a trade war to be exact. Whatever one thinks about his decision, it was a bold move that few chief executives would be willing to do. But he's far from the only president to take such drastic action. In this episode, attorney Jonathan Stokes and I discuss five other presidents who, similarly, had the audacity to take on the world.

  • Julia Sand and Chester Arthur: How A Random American Woman Influenced A President, with Destry Edwards
    May 6 2025

    Few presidents entered office more distrusted than America's 21st chief executive, Chester A. Arthur. But one American, Julia Sand, believed that he could rise to the occasion. What ensued was one of the most surprising and unlikely episodes in presidential history -- one that is the basis of a new documentary from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, titled Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand. In this episode, I interview the producer of the documentary, Destry Edwards.

  • Why the 2024 Presidential Election Was the Wildest Election of Our Lifetimes, with Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes
    Apr 29 2025

    A president in cognitive decline. A beleaguered Vice President. A party in shambles. An ex-president on the verge of the greatest political comeback in American history. And a lot of cat and dog memes. The 2024 presidential election featured all this, and more. In this episode, Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes take us behind the scenes in some of the biggest moments of America's craziest election.
