Summary

Chris Stirewalt can be many things—caveman lawyer, Southern fried good old boy, etc.—but today, he’s a simple pundit from the backwoods who’s back on the Remnant to dispense some rank insights on the state of our parties and how the 2024 election is shaping up. The resulting conversation is exactly what you’d imagine: an onslaught of pop culture references tempered by a modicum of sobering political analysis. How clear is it that Biden can defeat Trump? What do the current Democratic and Republican coalitions look like? And should the Department of Energy move to West Virginia (Chris’ answer won’t surprise you)?

1:02.6	How you doing, my friend?
1:03.6	Man, I'm living the dream.

1:12.0	I have not listened to the Tom Nichols episode, but I bet it's a bell ringer.
1:17.2	So we went 54 minutes talking about succession and Soviet ideology, and then at like the 54
1:24.4	minute mark, I said, all right, so quickly, I want to move to this one other topic about

1:33.7	of that effect.
1:35.7	And it was on 50 minutes later, like, all right, we better wrap this up.
1:40.3	No, but it was all collegial and fine, and that was good.
1:43.1	You know, I asked you a long time ago, shortly after I joined AEI, I asked you the question,
