The Ragin' Moderate Podcast

The infamous "Gender Pay Gap" isn't a myth. But it sure ain't 79 cents, either.

The latest GDP statistics just got released, and the media were happy to announce that our economic growth is solid. Except for those who insist that it’s a disappointment. Yikes! This week on the Ragin’ Moderate, we’ll spend 5 minutes clearing it up for you.

Top Democrat and Republican leaders might not have a lot in common ideologically. But last month, they appeared to work in tandem to thoroughly puzzle the American public. As a result, most Americans are still totally confused about the implications of the recent tax overhaul. Never fear, because we brought in Ryan Frailich (a REAL LIFE EXPERT!) to sort this all out. (17 minutes)

Republicans and Democrats have unrealistic ideas about how best to tame the unruly national debt- not that either party REALLY worries about it at all. Sounds like the moderates are going to have to come in and clean up the mess.

If you're (A) a xenophobic, closed-borderist who wants an end to immigration, or (B) an open border utopianist who doesn't mind a free-for-all on our southern border, you will HATE these common sense ideas for moderate immigration reform. (27 minutes)

In the second installment of our three-part series on Immigration Policy, we fact check the prevailing narratives swirling around the Left and Right. Along the way, we'll finally get some answers to our questions about the impact of unauthorized immigration on our economy, our communities, and even our hemisphere. (23 minutes)

Immigration policy is complex, controversial, and overwhelming. In this first installment of a multi-episode series, the Ragin' Moderate Podcast tackles our history of nativism in America, fuzzy math with deportation data, the end of DACA, and the next steps in the USA's messy immigration debate. (22 minutes)

We at the Ragin' Moderate Podcast need to rant a little bit about something that's always on our minds, especially lately: if you're an activist who's trying to ban abortion, or fix the debt, or stop our impending descent into fascism, the worst thing - LITERALLY THE WORST THING! - you can do is turn the majority of Americans against you. (Are you listening, Antifa?) [21 minutes]

It’s high time we change the way states draw their congressional districts. Unfortunately, the majority parties in both Blue and Red states are dragging their feet. Time for moderates to step in and demand reform. Here’s how. (28 minutes)

Moderate or centrist politicians are an endangered species in Washington DC. It hasn't always been this way, and if our special guests Nick Troiano & Alan LaPolice have anything to say about it, independent-minded moderates are poised to make a comeback. (27 minutes)
