    Kristina Rasmussen: Illinois Residents Want Reforms

    Living in Michigan for the past year has not meant I’ve forgotten about what is happening in Illinois. I followed politics in the state for years and years, so why would I stop now?

    Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger joined me as I filled filling in on “The Michael Koolidge Show“. He represents the 16th District, which stretches from the Wisconsin border to the Indiana border.

    Tim Alberta: Conservatism In the Era of Trump

    Tim Alberta is one of the very best writers/reporters in D.C. and also a pretty darn good radio guest. He was frequently on my old show in Rockford and still makes an appearance with Hugh Hewitt on a weekly basis. Tim is in between jobs at the moment, but in a good way. He just… Continue reading

    Jay Nordlinger: Digging In

    The Hillsdale students are home for the holidays, which gives me an opportunity to conduct some interviews. The timing worked to set up a chat with one of my favorite writers, Jay Nordlinger of National Review. His new book, “Digging In,” is a compilation of pieces from the past decade or so. But I also… Continue reading

    Sen. Ron Johnson Working on Border Security Bill

    As mentioned previously, I’m filling in this week on The Michael Koolidge Show and reconnecting with some of my favorite guests. Near the top of that list is U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Johnson was nearly left for dead in his fight to win re-election to the Senate, but fought hard a defeated Democrat… Continue reading

    Nicholas Eberstadt: Men Without Work

He’s a political economist who holds the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute. In the book, Eberstadt contends there is a huge population of men — one-sixth of all prime-aged men… Continue reading
