• A Prosecutor’s View of the Jeffrey Epstein Files

  Now Congress has voted to require the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, what types of information are about to land, and what damage might that information cause? On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel queries former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty about both the legal and political angles, including Donald Trump’s reversal on producing the files, the likelihood of a smoking gun, and the risk this precedent sets for victims and future prosecutions.

• Conservatives and the Rise of the 'New Right'

  Tucker Carlson's interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes--and Heritage Foundation President Kevin Robert's initial defense of it--is highlighting a rift in the conservative movement. While the Heritage president has since walked back that support, the fight underscores fringe elements of today's New Right movement and risks to the coalition going forward.  On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel looks to that future with Tim Chapman, president of conservative advocacy group Advancing American Freedom. The two discuss the recent rise of the New Right/National Conservative movement under Donald Trump, its abandonment of longstanding free-market principles, and some of its more toxic cultural elements. Why does Carlson's "grievance politics" appeal to younger conservatives? How do JD Vance and other prominent New Righters navigate this political landscape? And what does the wider conservative coalition look like post-Trump?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• The Federal Shutdown's Other Casualty: The States

  The shutdown pain for federal workers and programs like Obamacare is all the news, but the 50 states are also starting to feel the crunch. How and when did the states become so dependent on Washington, D.C. dollars and what's that doing to the national debt? On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel speaks with Senior Executive Vice President at the State Policy Network Tony Woodlief about how states have “perfected the art” of getting federal money, which now had grown into “an addiction” that is leading to more costs and worse policy. The pair also discuss the first steps toward weaning states off that money.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• House Speaker Mike Johnson on Shutdown Risks and Democratic Demands

  The government shutdown has been going on for more than three weeks, and neither side is budging. On this episode of All Things, Kim Strassel talks to House Speaker Mike Johnson about the closure calculations of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, why he hasn't yet sworn in Arizona's Adelita Grijalva, and the likelihood that the shutdown could soon grow painful for far more Americans--as more flights are delayed, troops miss paychecks, and the feds run out of money for programs like the Women's, Infants and Children supplement. Johnson also talks through the reform demands House Republicans might have in any future negotiations over Obamacare subsidies.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
