Area 45 is a Hoover Institution podcast devoted to the Trump administration and the policy avenues available to America’s forty-fifth president. It is hosted by Hoover fellow, Bill Whalen.
Just as area 45 is a medical term for a frontal portion of the human brain, we intend to take a cerebral approach to governing in this toxic political climate. There will be no rancor, no partisanship, but instead Hoover fellows’ keen insights on such thorny matters as taxation and economic growth, health care reform, national security, government entitlements, and improving schools.
Podcasts will be released weekly, with topics and fellows changing from broadcast to broadcast.

Another Great Hoover Podcast
I listen to most of the Hoover podcasts. When I saw this one was titled “45” for the 45th President, I wasn’t sure I’d like it because, while I am a Conservative, I’m not the biggest Trump fan. But I gave it a try and was pleased to discover this really has little to do with the President himself, it is discussion of recent political issues in the typical thoughtful, smart style we expect from Hoover Institute podcasts. Thanks!
Worse pollster in America they’re in the bag for the left
The pollsters on this show are always wrong, they all hate President Trump and lie though there teeth support the lying, cheating democrats who support the corrupt joebiden .
Interesting, intelligent and honest.
As with all of the Hoover podcasts... simply great! The depths of knowledge and insight coupled with longevity in the fields of study, provides a perfect balanced conversation. Regardless of topic.
