Welcome to Uncommon Knowledge, I'm Peter Robinson.

In 2009, Ross Dauvitt, then not yet 30, became the youngest columnist in the history

of the New York Times.

Ross's books include Grand New Party, How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save

the American Dream, and the Decadent Society, how we became the victims of our own success.

Ross's newest book, published just this year, The Deep Places, a memoir of illness and discovery.

In 1994, still in her very early 20s, Kim Strassel graduated from college and immediately

took a job with the Wall Street Journal, so there, Ross Dauvitt.

In 2007, Kim has been writing the Potomac Watch column.

Her books include The Intimidation Game, How the Left Is Silencing Free Speech, and most

recently, Resistance at All Costs, How Trump Haters Are Breaking America.

Close quote.

Kim, Ross, thanks for joining us.

I'm in Palo Alto, this is a fake background because I'm actually using a spare bedroom and

it's just too embarrassing.

Where are you?

Kim, where are you?

Hi, I'm up in Alaska at my house in Alaska, where I split my time between here and

the great Potomac area.

Ross, you are in, I mean, I'm in my attic, which is in New Haven, Connecticut, which is almost

as far from civilization as Alaska, but not quite.
