The Pope, Candy Corn Pizza, Cool Podcast Guest, Michelle Obama & More
Okay, this food take is going to be controversial...
Hey everyone,
I hope you’re all having a great week.
I will, unfortunately, be tuning into tonight’s Vice Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence. (I’m getting paid to write about it, or trust me, I wouldn’t be.) The one thing I can at least say is that it’s virtually guaranteed to be more coherent and less of a sh*t show than the Trump vs. Biden debacle.
Maybe some actual policy discussions might even come up?
IDK, in 2020, that might just be too much to ask. Anyway, I’ll be taking the afternoon off to talk Reggie (the doggo) for a walk and read a book in the sunshine.

Food Take: This looks delicious! I really wanna try it :P
Podcast: I interviewed my friend and colleague Tiana Lowe, a Washington Examiner commentary writer, on how progressivism ruined her home state of California, the #MeToo movement’s evolution, the 2020 election, and more.
The episode is now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
Oh, and later today I will record an episode with Steve Forbes, Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media, which includes Forbes magazine and Forbes.com. We will discuss the big government response to COVID-19 stimulus, what the prospect of a Biden presidency means for the economy, Trump’s economic record, and more.
Make sure you’re subscribed on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube so you don’t miss our conversation.
PSST: If you like the show — or even if you haven’t tuned in but just like ME — I have a huge favor to ask you. Click here and go leave a positive rate/review for my podcast on iTunes. It really helps!
Articles:
The Pope Just Called Private Property a ‘Secondary Right’ and Attacked Capitalism. In a new FEE.org piece, I respectfully explain why he’s so very wrong about this.
Michelle Obama Just Made a Fact-Free Attempt to Downplay the ‘Black Lives Matter’ Affiliated Riots. In my latest Washington Examiner column, I point to the many factual realities the former First Lady ignored—and argue she should have simply denounced the violence.
A European City Just Voted for a World-Record $25 Minimum Wage. In another new FEE.org article, I explain why this is going to backfire spectacularly—and connect it to the U.S. minimum wage debate.
California Just Passed Common-Sense Criminal Justice Reforms. In my latest reported piece for the Dispatch, I break down a rare example where the Golden State is leading the way on policy reforms that even conservatives can support.
Bonus Brad:
We are VERY grumpy with Mr. Reggie today. He got in bed at 6:45am and did not let me go back to sleep because he wanted attention! Lol…
B-but Brad, Reggie loves you.. 🥺❤️😄
