Lis Smith

When Kasich is away, the Democrats will play. Jordan Klepper is without his partner in civility this week, so he welcomes Lis Smith, Democratic strategist for more than 20 political campaigns including Barack Obama, Andrew Cuomo and Pete Buttigieg. Jordan and Lis debate Biden’s favorability struggles, whether a “nice” candidate like Pete Buttigieg can survive in this hellish political landscape, and how they both prep to talk with Fox News or MAGA supporters. They also break down whether the DOJ will actually bring Trump to justice and Lis describes what it’s like behind closed doors in Washington with the titillating-yet-scary stories in her new book. Lis’ NYT bestseller, ANY GIVEN TUESDAY: A POLITICAL LOVE STORY is out now wherever you buy your books. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Om Podcasten

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.
