   C. Dalloway:I’ve still got ten minutes to go in the show but I had to stop listening for a minute to come here and thank @jameslileks for reminding me that we haven’t yet entered into an alternate reality in which the Carrier deal is a wise and proper use of federal power and principled conservatives hawk without reservation a vague plan to “destroy” ISIS. That was scary for a bit.

   Yeah, it was upsetting to hear Larry, Rob, and Peter defend the status quo of things that “just happen” in government.

   The fact that we’ve acquiesced to the government doing Mafia-esque dealings with their tax power to the degree that we now expect such things since “they’re not that bad” is exactly the reason why these “minor” sins are ubiquitous.

   Until we’re willing to call a spade a spade when our own side is in power how can we expect classical liberal policy to permeate the culture?

   Yeah, thank goodness for @jameslileks.  So depressing to hear Kudlow acting as such an unprincipled propagandist.  That he, supposedly a free marketer, praise the Carrier thing as a “strong” move and respond to legitimate criticisms as “huh huh am I talking to the New York Times over here?”… just sad to see such water carrying on the right.

   I was disappointed not to hear the hosts follow up with Kudlow about his claims during his last visit to the show about the stimulus.  In that one, Kudlow talked a great game about the stimulus- knowing NOTHING about what Trump is actually planning- but just presenting his own wishlist as if it were going to happen.  What does he think about the stimulus plans now?

    

   The “sometimes he misspeaks, but LISTEN to him on fundamentals- he really means them” is troubling… so he really means a 35% import tariff and supply-side free trader Kudlow is okay with that? Tedious partisanship.  Call him out.
