Hi, this is Bill Whalen, the host of Goodfellows.

Thanks for listening to the audio version of the show, but we wanted to let you know that Goodfellows is primarily a video production,

and you're missing a lot of extra features by only listening to our show.

Give it a look by going to Hoover.org forward slash Goodfellows to see what you're missing.

Thanks.

The bottom line is all the polling data right now, which I think is premature because the campaign

really hasn't even started.

I mean, it hadn't started in earnest yet.

Most of the time it doesn't start until after September, after Labor Day.

So a lot can happen, but I think I'm the best qualified, I know, I believe I'm the best qualified to govern.

Hello, it's Thursday, July the 11th, 2024.

Welcome to Goodfellows from the Hoover Institution.

I'm Neil Ferguson, the Milbank Family Senior Fellow.

And I'm sitting in for Bill Whalen,

who's off enjoying himself.

We don't quite know where.

I'm joined, as usual, by my esteemed Hoover colleagues and friends, the economist John Cochran

and the former National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster, both bestselling authors. We've had a month off. I don't want you to think

we were on vacation. We were preparing for this show. But having been off air for so long,

we have a packed show for you today. And to kick it off, we are extremely fortunate to have as

our guest, the one and only Jonah Goldberg.

Jonah's the editor-in-chief and co-founder of the dispatch, available at the dispatch.com.
