“I enjoy Bill Kristol and the point of view he brings to current issues that are informed by his own political history and experience. He addresses topics with intelligent, experienced and well informed guests and those conversations for me provoke deeper thinking than just surface sound bites.”

“I very much enjoy Bills conversations. I’ve picked up several great books and topics from the show I wouldn’t have otherwise read.
Surprisingly I find it a source for optimism in a troubled world.”

“This conversation with Kagan delivers one of the more trenchant insights into the roots of the MAGA movement and the historical patterns that keep repeating throughout American history. Strong recommend for people (like me) who can’t stop wondering why these folks are buying into Trump (again).”
