Ethics and Public Policy Center

And I've known I've known Ross for a long time.

And he he I came into contact him with it through the Ethics and Public Policy Center when we were doing the Faith Angle Forum.

And he was he was this young Catholic intellectual.

He went to Harvard, but but he's conservative.

Which, of all the introductions I've heard to myself, is certainly the most recent.

Thank you seriously to the Ethics and Public Policy Center for your work, for conceiving this idea, for encouraging me to do it, for bringing us Dr. McGrath all the way from our common alma mater of Oxford, and for the regular seminars that you may not know that Michael does all the time on these matters of faith versus reason, which is, after all, the ground on which we're met this evening.

I always come before events like this with antagonists like Dr. McGrath, with a slight sense, a very slight sense, hope it doesn't sound self-pitying, of inequality.

My views are, if I say it for myself, tolerably well advertised.

That was President Ronald Reagan, May 21st, 1986, a fundraiser for Republican House and Senate campaigns, half a year before the midterm elections.

And here is President Reagan again, speaking to the Ethics and Public Policy Center, November 18th, 1986, two weeks after the midterm elections.

And in the campaign we've just finished, hardly a candidate in the other party dared to raise the Blame America First flag again.

They'd all started to speak the way only we used to.

So what does it all mean? Is America's electorate going through another major realignment? And has this completely shattered Trump's authority? To discuss all of that, I'm joined by Democrat strategist Joe Caiazzo and Henry Olsen, Senior Fellow

at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

So Joe and Henry, this is a pretty seismic result.

What's your first takeaways from it? Henry first.

And to discuss the votes of today, I bring in our friend Henry Olsen, columnist for the Washington Post.

and a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

First of all, Henry, I just want to thank you.

You've been part of the Scott Jennings Show for the last several weeks as we've gone through this midterm.

And if it's a little bit short, they'll be a little bit short.

Talking with Henry Olsen here on the Scott Jennings Show.

He's at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

He's a columnist for The Washington Post and our resident election forecaster here on Common Sense for the American People.
