This is the reason interview with Nikolespi. I have got a great show for you today, but first,

let me tell you about today's sponsor, St. John's College. From Greek philosophers who are the

wellspring of democratic ideals, to America's founding fathers, to contemporary critics who question

everything, each is welcome at St. John's College, where students encounter Adam Smith and

Carl Marks, St. Augustine and Friedrich Nietzsche, James Baldwin, and Virginia Walth. Where were you

when I was in college? Here, there are no secondary sources, no experts, and no one telling you

what to believe. Rather, there are original sources and a community

devoted to collaborative inquiry, intellectual humility, and the discomfort that comes from diverse

opinions. Explore 3,000 years of human thought on campuses in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Annapolis,

Maryland.

For master's degree candidates, we also offer studies in the great texts of the East,

in person, or online.

My guest today are Patrick Grafini, author of Party of the People Inside the Populous Coalition,

remaking the GOP. And Rui Texera, co-author of the book, Where Have All the Democrats

Gone, The Soul of the Party in the Age of Extremes? We talk about the 2024 election and who's

likely to win the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. We talk about why the

working class has become the most important but most neglected part of the electorate.

And we also talk about whether or not libertarians have a lot to look forward to in the next couple of years of national politics.

Here is the reason interview with Patrick Ruffini and Rui Takshara.
