Some things are worth the wait.

Today’s Dispatch Live is mercilessly hijacked by Jonah Goldberg and his remnant of roving bandits to present you with this live-audience recording.

Straight from the hallowed halls of the American Enterprise Institute, Jonah is joined by Steve Hayes and Chris Stirewalt for an in-depth discussion of their time at Fox News.

    I would have loved to attend this event. Does the Dispatch have a calendar of all upcoming events?

    I have a potential answer to the question asked by Steve to the young audience member. Reagan defined what it meant to be conservative. He preached a political philosophy. You could number the tenets. He did such a good job that people who never considered conservatism were attracted to it. In the age of Trump no one knows what the word means anymore. It just means loyalty to Trump to most people. If you want to attract younger people you have to define the terms. Answer the question of why smaller gov't is better than a massive federal monster. That has the added bonus of educating older people who should know but don't.
    I've been watching the vids of Reagan speeches. He was always selling the importance of the individual, of small gov't, of open markets, the constitutions. That is what people responded to and that includes people of all age groups.

    I truly loved this episode. I appreciated hearing everyone's thoughts. We can use more Stirewalt on Dispatch podcasts.

    That was a great panel, but Dr Stirewalt definitely stole the show.

    If a news outlet must be a brand, it has a difficult job if it wants to cultivate a skeptical audience. Kids now have to do so much self-presentation, I think they tend to recognize pandering for what it is - especially that sub-set of young people who become news junkies by age 25 or so.

    What struck me most was the bright young woman who stood up and asked about how news should speak to young people. Makes me think of how young most of the Founders were, and how different is this world where young people so often have to wait until they're old and probably more calcified in their viewpoints before they get real influence. (Imagine what the "Bernie Bros" might be like at 70.)

    Obviously, Fox became a place with very limited viewpoint diversity. Also, amusing to learn that they were mostly from the New York market, and not really geographically diverse at all.

    Loved the long format discussion about their experiences and how they view what happened at Fox News. Entertaining and insightful.

    Also, thank you to the Dispatch team for making it possible to listen to member-only podcasts on different platforms. Not sure how long that's been an option but I noticed the link in this post and set it up on my Spotify account. I use that platform for almost all of my podcast listening. It makes it more likely that I will remember to listen to the member-only podcast if I'm already in the app where I listen to everything else.

    I’ve rarely been so excited to start a podcast and see 1:47:xx on the minutes remaining.

    This was great. I went to an event at The Broadmoor several years ago (met Jonah briefly, and had my pic taken with Steve!)

    Speaking with other attendees “refilled my pitcher”, as my mom would say, to find others who have similar political and life philosophies as I do, but don’t shove opinions down your throat.

    My sense is that Dispatch members and “The Remnant”, which I believe I am a part of, don’t need to be “told” what to think.

    Just give us information and we are able to form our own opinions. I really appreciate that. Thank you.

    Great questions from the audience! Keeping an eye out for when you come to that far flung land of New York City.
