Ann talks to former Idaho Solicitor General Theo Wold.

Ann talks to Chip Roy, US Representative (TX-21) and candidate for State Attorney General.

Ann interviews Jacob Heilbrunn, editor of The National Interest. If you don’t know him already, you should. Here, they discuss the disaster of the Iran “incursion,” what made Trump do it, what JD Vance should do, and Reagan’s legacy — among other issues of vital interest to me. And also pretty important for the country.Brief Bio: Heilbrunn writes prolifically for The UK Spectator, The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Foreign Affairs, Reuters, Washington Monthly, etc. etc.He also was an Arthur F. Burns Fellow, a winner of the George F. Kennan Award, a senior editor at the New Republic and an editorial writer for the Los Angeles Times.

There is no one better to discuss voter fraud than Kris Kobach. As Kansas’s Secretary of State, he was sued by the ACLU and denounced by Hillary Clinton for trying to enforce voter ID laws.He was one of the first prominent Republicans to endorse Donald Trump in 2016, which he did because of Trump’s strong position on immigration. Kobach drafted Arizona’s fabulous SB 1070, derogatorily referred to as the “Papers Please” law — which is the one part upheld by the Supreme Court. Justice Scalia would have upheld the entire law.Kobach in the news:Kansas, Arizona laws requiring voters to prove citizenship upheldMan jailed in Florida for alleged election fraud in KansasKansas becomes 2nd state to deputize law enforcement to enforce immigration policiesKansas Mayor Faces Voter Fraud Charges Following USCIS AssistanceHe graduated first in his department at Harvard (summa cum laude,) where he studied under the famous Samuel P. Huntington, author of Who Are We: The Challenges to America’s National Identity; was a Marshall Scholar; and graduated from Yale Law, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal,and published two books before graduating.

Ann interviews the author on her new book, A Better Life (released February 10, 2026).A brilliant and hilarious. novel about the state of immigration in our country. Despite being eminently fair to both sides, most liberal reviewers are kvetching because they only wanted to hear one side.From The Atlantic (of all places): [Shriver] has a wry observational intelligence that propels her well beyond her personal orbit. She is also adept at unpacking psychological states and analyzing relationships with almost clinical incisiveness. Her writing is witty, and startlingly precise.Author of 18 books, including: We Need to Talk About KevinManiaThe Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047
