    The comments are interesting. 100% disapproval. Those campaign strategists should be able to understand at least that.

      There was one Democrat strategy guy I heard in an interview roundtable with other democrat strategists. The others were argueing that the economy was the issue, etc. He said, no, the issue was that we were out of touch. You are not going to the vote of someone who is struggling to get by on $10/hour and you tell him he is privileged because he is white.

        The identity politics thing is played out, and now mostly resides in the hearts and minds of educated liberal white women, and the men who love them.

          Very much enjoyed this conversation on Tucker's show, with a doctor who's been in the "wellness rather than treatment" camp for a long time. "We have a food industry that knows nothing about health, and a health industry that knows nothing about food". That's the gist.

          There's a special treat for Tucker haters in there, where the doctor is making an analogy about how uneducated people can be, and says "I mean, we're still arguing about evolution!", then he visibly catches himself and diverts the analogy to "or, we're still arguing about whether the earth is flat!".

          I think a Trump administration with RFK Jr in the cabinet will possibly make some inroads on education about this stuff.

            Remember when the GOP pilloried Bloomberg for trying to limit soda container sizes, banning trans fats, and making food chains post calorie counts?

              Messaging rather than regulations is what I'm hoping for. For better or worse, lots of eyes and ears on what this administration does and says. This is one way in which it can be for the better. It's undeniable that consumption habits are a huge problem, and one can only educate out of that, rather than regulate out of it.

                Re education, are there many people out there that aren’t aware that the SAD (standard American diet) is grossly unhealthy? Serious question.

                Of course Trump could make it ‘cool’ for a certain type of person to care. But it’s hard to imagine him taking the advice himself.

                  the extent to which it is? Sure, I guess in fact that most people underestimate the pipeline to T2 diabetes, and the severity of that disease. The conversation was very helpful for me about that.

                    If you’re interested in the general topic of wellness and diet, or as he puts it ‘health span’ (as distinguished from lifespan) seek out Peter Attia, either his book Outlive or his podcast. You’ve probably seen him on others podcasts.

                      Yes he does the rounds on Rogan and all those people. These weren't new ideas to me, but this reiteration seemed helpful.

                          In last week’s Econtalk podcast, Russ Roberts interviewed Marc Andreesen on the future of AI.

                          It’s the optimistic take you rarely hear. Worth checking out.

                          Andreesen has a bird’s eye view on developments in the area, since he’s the cofounder of Andreesen-Horowitz he hears pitches basically every day from the extremely smart people with new ideas in the field.

                              Just finished an interesting true crime show

                              Father Wants Us Dead

                              https://fatherwantsusdead.com/

                              In 1971, a mild-mannered accountant and Sunday school teacher from New Jersey meticulously murdered his wife, mother and three children. John List left behind a letter explaining his horrific deeds and disappeared to start a new life. Now, two award-winning journalists go inside the mind of the killer, uncover new details about the doomed family and the twisted crime that took their lives, and take you along on the unbelievable 18-year quest to bring this father to justice.

                                On The Dispatch Podcast Steven Hayes interviews David Patreaus about Syria, Taiwan, Mexico, and even the NJ drones.

                                Highly recommended. The guys knows his shit.

                                  Latest EconTalk is a conversation between two libertarian economists - ok one libertarian and one lapsed libertarian who now considers himself a conservative - talking about the prospects of DOGE. Interesting throughout.

                                    Great one on one interview with Boris Johnson on The Dispatch podcast.

                                    Jamie Weinstein is joined by former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson to discuss his relationship with Donald Trump, the U.K. "grooming gangs," and his new book, Unleashed.
                                    The Agenda:
                                    —Jeremy Vine: My Boris Johnson Story
                                    —Comparing Reagan and Trump
                                    —Johnson’s relationship with Trump
                                    —Elon Musk and the U.K.
                                    —The U.K. grooming gangs
                                    —“Superpower of soft power”
                                    —Johnson’s alleged deal with Ukraine and Russia
                                    —Putin and Zelensky
                                    —Johnson on Queen Elizabeth II
                                    —Leaders Johnson admires

                                      Two good ones over the past couple of days.

                                      Bari Weiss's (Honestly) with Amy Chua. I've read both her Tiger Mom book which I thought was excellent along with her follow-up Triple Package which detailed why some cultures are more successful than others. Chua is on the law school faculty at Yale - and guess who was one of her students - a certain Vice-President...

                                      Ross Douthat does a decent interview with Steve Bannon. It's a good discussion - interesting to hear his views on GWB, Trump and Musk.

                                        Interesting. Also NYT hosting Bannon and (a few weeks ago) Curtis Yarvin on their podcast would have been unthinkable even a year ago.

                                          Interesting. Also NYT hosting Bannon and (a few weeks ago) Curtis Yarvin on their podcast would have been unthinkable even a year ago.

                                          Bannon wasn't the crazy guy sometimes portrayed. It's good to see DEI being appropriately applied.
