Kasich & Klepper

About Kasich & Klepper

They come from two different sides of the political spectrum: John Kasich, former Governor of Ohio and 2016 Republican presidential candidate; and Jordan Klepper, a liberal comedian best known for his viral videos interviewing MAGA supporters for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. In this weekly talk show podcast, the pair will come together to scream their differing political opinions at each other for an hour… just kidding. Sure, there will be some political debate, but Kasich & Klepper’s discussions will more often explore the common ground of their shared interests. They’ll dive into conversations about parenting, leadership, pop culture, mental health, and more — all with a good sense of humor and a whole lot of jokes at each other’s expense. Along the way, Kasich & Klepper will be joined by high-profile guests from all walks of life — musicians, athletes, activists, politicians, and much more — each of whom will share their unique perspectives on modern life’s biggest questions. Together, Kasich & Klepper will have thoughtful, engaging, and downright hilarious conversations to demonstrate the power of mutual understanding in a polarized world.

   Celinda Lake and Ed Goeas

   Midterms are right around the corner. What issues REALLY matter most to voters? Who will win the House and the Senate? Will Trump and Biden face off again in 2024? To get the answers, Kasich & Klepper turn to Celinda Lake, one of the country’s top Democratic pollsters, and Ed Goeas, a prominent republican pollster and partner at Tarrance Group. They explain how polling accuracy has changed over the decades, why people often lie to pollsters, and whether voters really care about civility in politics. They also discuss where abortion rights, immigration, climate change, crime, and the economy rank in importance to voters going into the November elections. Celinda Lake and Ed Goeas’ upcoming book, “A QUESTION OF RESPECT: Bringing Us Together in a Deeply Divided Nation” is available for pre-order now. Learn more about your ad choices.

   Scott A. Small

   Don’t forget, this is an episode to remember. Dr. Scott A.

They also discuss how we are constantly cluttering our brains with today’s social media instead of making true connections as well as the healthy benefits of forgetting some of the pandemic and other traumatic world events.

[…] Understand the effort we put in to get here. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it's all luck, Jordan. You know, there's a point I made in the book that Bill Gates went to the only high school in America with a computer. And you can say, like, is Bill Gates hardworking? Of course he is. Is he a genius? Yes, of course he's a genius. He's the genius of our time. But he had this ridiculous stroke of luck early on his career that without that, he would never have created what he did. And I think in any level of outside success, there is something like that, even if it's just the generation you were born into, the country you were born into, these things that are outside of your control. that have a major impact on where you go.
