EP 30 | Charles Lehman & Brad Carson
Brad Carson (Americans for Responsible Innovation) and Charles Lehman (Manhattan Institute / City Journal) dig into the shutdown endgame, Schumer’s calculus, 2026 vibes, and why data centers might be a sleeper issue. They argue affordability vs. “afford to dream,” culture vs. policy, and whether legalization waves for pot, NIL, and sports betting were built to fail. Plus: AI guardrails, why adding friction to vices works, and Goat Grinders on EST vs. EDT, reclining your plane seat, and off-leash dogs. Bonus Q&A about Brad’s Senate race in the Not Even Mad feed.
