Noah Rothman joins us today to talk about presidential appointments and how to stay calm and rational as Donald Trump continues to make news at the same dizzying clip he did during his presidency.

Why He Picked RFK

How the RFK pick is both conventional (Trump rewarding an important endorser) and the result of radical changes in the way Americans view trusted institutions (they don't trust those institutions). But is RFK a change agent or merely an opportunistic ambulance-chaser who is taking advantage of their distrust? Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Top notch political analysis coming from Commentary Magazine, a centre right Jewish publication. Five days a week, the verbose Jon Podhoretz, Noah Rothman, Abe Greenwald, the lovely Christine Rosen (yep, I said it) and occasionally a guest come together to discuss the political news of the day. If you want to understand U.S. politics, this should be on your play list.
