John Fund

[laughs]

With us now to talk US news, president of the Center of the American Experiment, the great John Fund.

John, great to see you.

Thanks for coming on the show.

Listen, we got a great show today.

I'm going to be joined in a little bit by John Fund.

John Fund, a reporter extraordinaire or journalist extraordinaire.

uh he's going to give us the breakdown as to what's happening in the uh in the midterm elections uh we're also going to be joined by darla romfro she is with the children's scholarship fund they've got an amazing uh new project that they're working on we may have a mystery guest in the meantime but hi everybody yes you can connect with me online to yell at me please do so andrew langer radio gmail.com is how you find me there also on x at andrew underscore langer um so yeah so listen we are neck deep in these midterm elections and um you know there is a clear choice that is out there um and when we talk to john fund you know we're going to talk to him about the reality of the situation i am not someone who's going to put a gloss on a turd.

I'm not going to shine a turd and tell you that everything is bright and rosy.

And I'm also not going to blame those dag nabbit, those just unfair polls that are out there.

You know, I may have to pull this for the next hour.

Anyway, but this is why we're talking about this, because we are now neck deep in the election.

And it turns out they don't have a partisan interest against preventing that from happening either.

Next, John Fund strikes again.

In September, the political journalist and author offered yet another of his short essays in favor of rotation in office in the conservative National Review magazine and website.

Permit me to read it in its entirety to finish off this episode.

Congress is a living advertisement for term limits by John Fund.

Twice this summer, an ambulance was sent to the home of a U.S.

Senator.

Rick Perry brought it up during the 2012 primaries, and Perry, Mike Huckabee, and Ben Carson brought it up during the 2016 primaries, which happened 10,000 years ago.

Uh, conservative writers John Fund and Mark Levin brought it up in a book in, uh, ca- in 2019 called Fix the Court.

Why hasn't this happened?

Yeah.

Suffice it to say we're watching it very closely.

Joining us now is political journalist John Fund.

John Fund, thank you for your time.

We just heard from Donald Trump and Marco Rubio there.

Trump says he doesn't think it's a bioweapon.

And the question is self-evident.

Where the ...

John Fund, what do you make of the reaction we're seeing to those comments?

The deputy foreign minister was in town.

Turns out our mutual colleague, the highly respected John Fund, had recommended me.

But when I first got the invite, I call up my Ukraine buddies and I'm like, this is not a plot to ship me to Russia or anything, right? And they're like, nah, there's like a 1% chance of that or something like that.

The whole meeting, most of the meeting was off the record other than one statement.

With that, it's time for our editor's picks.

Jim Garrity, what's your pick?

So our colleague Dan McLaughlin is one of those guys who you need to find someone who loves you the way he loves Excel spreadsheets.

Nobody loves making charts as much as Dan McLaughlin, and he loves also to look at polling history.

We did a cover, which we can hopefully flash up on the screen now for viewers.

We did a cover called It's the Corruption Stupid, and it was by a good journalist guy, perhaps you know him, John Fund.

Mm-hmm.

And it was about how Republican strategists are starting to panic about the perception of corruption.
