Joe Biden, Welfare King
At the same time the Biden administration is bragging about its job creation numbers, President Biden has also dramatically increased the number of Americans on federal government assistance and would extend government welfare programs even more if he could. But increasing the number of Americans dependent on federal assistance is terrible fiscal, budgetary and moral policy. With IPI Resident Scholar Dr. Merrill Matthews and IPI President Tom Giovanetti.
IPI Policy Basics: Regular Order, How Congress Is Supposed to Work (Audio: Podcast)
What is “regular order” for Congress and why is that better governance than the annual drama and circus we see now every year with continuing resolutions and gigantic, must-pass omnibus spending bills? Was the old way better? Tom Giovanetti, Merrill Matthews.
House Republicans Should Just Say No to Revenge Impeachments (Audio: Podcast)
Revenge impeachments by the new Republican House will be a terrible waste of political capital, energy and time, because they won’t succeed in the Senate and will be seen by voters as just more partisan infighting. Legitimate investigations and oversight is another matter entirely. Merrill Matthews, Tom Giovanetti.
The Clear Pattern that Emerged from the 2022 Midterm Election (Audio: Podcast)
There was no red wave, but there should have been. Actually, a certain profile of Republican candidate won big, while another profile of Republican candidate dramatically underperformed. The difference: Association with Donald Trump. Tom Giovanetti, Merrill Matthews.
20 Years Later, the 'Axis of Evil' is Bigger, Bolder and More Evil (Audio: Podcast)

The 25th Amendment and Biden; the 14th Amendment and Trump (Audio: Podcast)
Under what circumstances might President Biden face removal from the White House under the 25th Amendment, and under what circumstances might Donald J. Trump be barred from holding public office again under the 14th Amendment? And how lousy is it that we have to even consider those possibilities? With IPI President Tom Giovanetti and Resident Scholar Dr. Merrill Matthews.

How Wokeness Sucks All the Fun out of Life (Audio: Podcast)
IPI President Tom Giovanetti and Commentary Magazine Associate Editor Noah Rothman discuss Noah’s recent book “The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives’ War on Fun.” Lefties used to be the “anything goes, don’t judge me” crowd, but today the progressive woke left politicizes everything and sucks all the fun out of food, sports, dating and sex, even gardening! Noah explains how and why this change happened, how it affects American society, and how it’s harming everything from how we eat and play to how we love and form relationships. It’s a great read and a great discussion.
Is a 25th Amendment Removal in Joe Biden's Future? (Audio: Podcast)
IPI Resident Scholar discusses his recent piece in The Hill raising questions about President Biden’s obvious slippage with IPI President Tom Giovanetti. Because there is little to no partisan advantage to either party to remove Biden, raising the question isn’t about partisan politics but rather is about the good of the nation, and of the free world. And it’s not as if a 25th Amendment removal wasn’t almost a constant topic in the media during the Trump administration. Double-standard much?
