Tired of the constant barrage of alarmist and threatening fundraising texts and emails? That is why we called in an expert! Amy Harris from Red Strategies joins the podcast to do a campaign finance deep-dive. While discussing the root of all evil, we touch on the importance of money to a campaign, the trouble with bloviating on cable news in search of small-dollar donors, and, of course, those insidious text messages.

We are delighted to welcome Rick Hess to the show to discuss his new book, Getting Education Right: A Conservative Vision for Improving Early Childhood, K-12, and College. Rick is a Senior Fellow and Director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Is Biden's goal of universal Pre-K a splendid idea? What should conservatives do to improve higher education? Have Republicans picked the right battles by focusing on "culture war" topics? Would abolishing the Department of Education do anything? Get out your Pee-Chee folders and take some notes. School is in session!

Now we are big time! We are delighted to welcome Todd Myers, Director of the Center for the Environment for the Washington Policy Center, to discuss his recent book (Time to Think Small). He's mostly known as our state Carnac the Magnificent of Gas Prices. Who could have predicted these gas price increases? Well, anyone with common sense, but not to the precision of Todd Myers. We also delve into how well the State of Washington has advocated for the environment and what exactly is the Freedom Conservatism movement.
