Fly On The Wall

It's budget season in Washington--so who better to talk to than Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform? We dive into how he wields his impressive influence in the form of an interest group to tackle his agenda year after year.

As Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch prepares for his confirmation battle, we chat with top Supreme Court reporter Bob Barnes, Democratic legal operative Ron Klain, and Republican political strategist Sara Fagan about what the ensuing saga will entail. We talk history, politics, and Kevin Spacey.

On the eve of a joint session address, we talk with two chief speechwriters--Cody Keenan of the Obama White House and Marc Thiessen of the Bush White House. They share commentary on President Trump's speaking style and reflections on their experiences writing for the President of the United States.

Aaron and Christian kick off our very first episode with special guest Jen Psaki, former Communications Director for the Obama White House, for a conversation on the rocky GOP repeal & replace of the ACA effort--specifically looking at the communications battle. We reflect on her part in the messaging battle for the ACA back in 2010 and talk about how Republicans can be successful in messaging their latest policy effort.
