Karl Rove: Historic Redemption, the Hard Work of Politics, and the Essential Nature of Americans
Fri Feb 06 2026
Karl Rove cuts through partisan noise to examine deep questions about American democracy. The master political strategist offers a surprisingly optimistic take on our polarized moment, drawing from the divisions of the 1960s, the Gilded Age, and the 1896 McKinley-Bryan race. His rich and dynamic storytelling invites listeners to consider that Americans will ultimately demand unity.
Karl is the former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush and currently a columnist for The Wall Street Journal, a Fox News contributor, and the author of The Triumph of William McKinley.
