O @p_m_robinson entrevistou a Justice da Suprema Corte Amy Coney Barret para o @HooverInst. E que diferença para as entrevistas que somos obrigados a tolerar de gente como Gilmar Mendes ou Xandinho. Primeiro, que a Barret não falou sobre nenhum caso em discussão na Suprema

Will Inboden? Hear him!
Great to have Will Inboden back on #Reaganism 🎙️ to discuss his recent National Affairs essay, “Restoring the Academic Social Contract.” We talk about how universities lost their sense of civic purpose—and what it will take to renew higher education’s role in strengthening our

This, this, a thousand times this.
Did the Conservative movement flop, as many right-oriented populists claim? Just a few policy examples: In 1980, 1 state had a "shall issue" concealed carry law. Today "shall issue" (or no permit) is the rule in all 50 states. In 1980, the top marginal income tax bracket was

The State Department and National Security Council fought the speech, submitting one alternative draft after another--this went on for some three weeks. Then the President overruled them, choosing to deliver the speech as I'd composed it.
@p_m_robinson It’s worth remembering that the daring phrase was scratched out by someone proofreading the speech, and the President himself reinstated it. Is that accurate?

Gracias--y usted tiene raison. Gran parte del mérito--muy gran parte--recae en el presidente Reagan.
@kebensperger Los respectivos créditos al presidente Reagan quien dos años antes en el mismo Berlín pronunció aquel mítico discurso: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”. Los respectivos también al joven speech writer, Peter Robinson @p_m_robinson

Prayer and fasting.
@p_m_robinson How can you be so good at such a high level on so many varied topics with such domain experts so consistently and so often? This conversation is really something

@p_m_robinson I think this exemplifies the unique quality of Peter's interviews: I have a huge stack of "To-be-Read" books on the stand next to me, and I had no plans to read ACB's book. Along comes Peter, and now I think she's the most interesting person in the world. Bought the book.

Warm, engaging, and wonderfully patient in explaining the law—but you wouldn’t want to cross her. JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT on Uncommon Knowledge. https://t.co/01PiAmF1ue

As a trade economist, Doug, were you pleased with the oral arguments? Was there anything you'd have liked to have heard that didn't come up?
Today is a historic day for trade policy, oral arguments before SCOTUS on the legality of Trump's tariffs. Background here ⤵️

@gerardtbaker @p_m_robinson Here you go, Gerard:
The road widening goes on forever and the construction never ends. Here is a rough summary of what's happening with highway construction. Of course you can quibble with details here and there, and sure there are sometimes exceptions, but this is directionally and generally

New on Freedom Frequency: @P_M_Robinson interviews Thomas Sowell about a subject dear to his heart—education. Schools, says Sowell, not only fail to educate students but fail to change themselves, even when challenged by the success of charter schools. https://t.co/CrLcpzNven
