In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with a discussion of the likelihood that the partisan balance
of power will shift from Republicans to Democrats at the
state-government level. Then, David is joined by the
president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics,
Adam Posen, for a conversation about the state of the world’s
economy. David and Posen discuss the economic effect of the war in
Iran, the United States’ reputational hit caused by Trump’s
tariffs, and the chance of global recession. Finally, David
ends the episode with a discussion of “Ask Not: The Kennedys and
the Women They Destroyed,” by Maureen Callahan, and reflects on why
reactions to the abuse of women by men in power seem to have become
a partisan issue. Sign up for David Frum’s newsletter alert.
