This episode dives into the significant political question posed by Ronald Reagan during the closing moments of his 1980 presidential debate with Jimmy Carter: 'Are you better off than you were four years ago?' Ken Woodward explores the context of the 1980 political climate, marked by economic difficulties, high inflation, unemployment, and international issues such as the Iran hostage crisis and concerns about U.S. global standing and nuclear threats. Reagan's question, which became iconic in U.S. political discourse, was noted for its simplicity, personal relevance, emotional resonance, and strategic timing. The question invited voters to reflect on their circumstances rather than abstract policies, ultimately contributing to Reagan's landslide victory. The episode details six crucial lessons for crafting influential questions, emphasizing audience perspective, engagement, simplicity, timing, self-reflection, and a call to action. Listeners are encouraged to consider how such questions have shaped their decisions and to apply these insights in personal and professional contexts. This Curated Questions episode can be found on all major platforms and at CuratedQuestions.com . Keep questioning!

Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago? Where do you feel it in your body? What emotions come to the surface? What pictures race through your mind? Would it kill you to stop chewing your food with your mouth open? What is your number seven? What comes to mind? Did you feel the knee-jerk need to answer right away when your politician asked? Did you actually do the homework to determine what factors were most important to you, then look at data vice depending on emotion? Is it any easier to see why someone in a different circumstance may answer differently than you? How did the question affect your answer when the opposing politician asked it? Did you use the same metric for the candidates or give your preferred candidate extra leeway? What famous questions continue to pop up in your world?…

×Former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens resigned in disgrace. Now he is hoping to bounce back by running for Repubilican nomination for the U.S. Senate. Kurt suggests that Greitens could do us all a public service by ending his campaign for the Senate immediately. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Leave it to Biden to outdo his job killing executive orders on energy. Even the Bidens' dogs are revolting. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kurt dares to grow his carbon footprint - even at the risk of being called a racist for doing so. Meanwhile, back at the so-called insurrection... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Find out why, among other things, it won't matter whether the former President's lawyers do a good job defending him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
And why Marjorie Taylor Greene is not comparable to "The Squad". See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Democrats will wallow in defeat when former President Trump is exonerated by the US Senate. Kurt goes over the list of self-proclaimed Republicans who for some reason want to wallow with them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The whole thing is a disgrace. But let's talk about it - and have a nice day! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
No, Trump is not guilty of inciting violence. But when he's impeached - and he will be - the impeachment may work to Trump's advantage and mobilize conservatives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Civil society, anyone? Won't happen, here's why. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The episode in which Kurt tells all, except for the incident with Don Lemon - you'll have to Google that.. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kurt's reminiscences of war & heroism interspersed with his love of cheeseburgers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If Biden is "the" President he still won't be Kurt's President, OK? And the Cleveland Indians won't be his team, no matter what they decide to call themselves... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week Kurt invites special guest Generalissimo Duane Patterson (showrunner of the Hugh Hewitt Show) to make sense of what it all means. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Why should President Trump be expected to give up? We don't, of course. But why are so many formerly courageous conservatives folding like cheap cameras? Kurt answers these questions and explains the price that Democrats should be expected to pay for what they've been up to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
How do you read the opinion polls? Kurt begins by assuming Biden is probably way ahead in states like NY and CA. That would leave room for President Trump to outperform in the states that matter to him. It worked that way in 2016... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kurt is taking Fighting Words to the streets, looking for outward signs of fervent Biden support, in the neighborhoods of true blue Southern California. What has he found? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After last night's Presidential debate/brawl, Chris Wallace has now replaced Candy Crowley as the worst debate moderator ever. Biden also managed to speak in semi-coherent sentences, which means he exceeded expectations. If Trump had allowed Biden to speak longer, would Biden have hanged himself? Or would Wallace have stepped in to protect Biden from himself? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
It's the worst kept secret in Washington that Amy Coney Barrett is a shoo-in to be President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court. What is unclear is just how far Democrats will go to attack ACB's Roman Catholic faith. What is clear is that Democrats will try to fear monger the upcoming Obamacare case that is scheduled for Supreme Court argument shortly after the election. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Achieving peace in the Middle East isn't quite as difficult as curing cancer, but it's close. The peace deal Trump has achieved is historic, and is likely to expand to more countries including Saudi Arabia. But the Trump-deranged establishment is desperately trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of this huge victory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Kurt could have spent an entire episode on the latest woke idiocy from the Academy of Motion Pictures.. but he got distracted by the "real" fake news from the Atlantic Monthly. And then he ponders why President Trump (or anyone) would ever want to be in the same room with Bob Woodward. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
When Nancy Pelosi demands that we follow COVID shutdown rules and always wear a mask, what happens when she gets caught breaking the rules and not wearing a mask while getting her hair done? Not a good look. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Democrat governors and Democrat mayors are refusing to lift a finger to stop rioting, violence and property damage in their cities. At the same time, President Trump's poll numbers are improving. And on balance, the Republican convention is bright, upbeat - and way better than many expected - especially Democrats, who got no bounce from their convention. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
What should we take away from Joe Biden's choice of uber-ambitious Kamala Harris as his running mate for the 2020 Presidential ticket? This: If the Democrats manage to win, Joe Biden better hire himself a White House food taster. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Biden says he isn't willing to go to Milwaukee to accept the Democrat nomination for President. If he can't be bothered to go to Milwaukee, will he also excuse himself from debating President Trump? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kurt knows law, and he knows the military, including NATO. So you’ll be interested to hear Kurt’s perspective on the leak that has developed inside the Supreme Court, as well as the announcement that thousands of U.S. troops are to be withdrawn from Germany. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Kurt shares a day in the life of a Hugh Hewitt fill-in host. Then, Kurt engages in long distance lawyering as he examines a harassment story you may have heard about. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Actually, journalism in the New York Times has been dead quite a while. But every so often the paper would print an opinion that wasn't full-woke. As we learned this week, any hope for any opinion other than hard left appearing within the Times is gone. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Why is it that when Chief Justice Roberts follows what he thinks are "conservative principles", the result keeps turning out liberal? Kurt is convinced that Roberts is actually bending his rulings in order to deliberately frustrate President Trump. The only question is - what pretzel logic will the Chief Justice come up with next? The Court Roberts pretends to love is being irreparably damaged in the process. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Who says there's never a good lawyer around when you need one? On the day that a federal appeals court has ordered the dismissal of charges against Michael Flynn, Kurt Schlichter is here to walk us through what has just happened, what led up to it and analyze the jaw-droppingly bizarre misconduct of Judge Sullivan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Kurt takes a big picture view of the latest police shooting in Atlanta and direction of the Supreme Court following the LGBTQ decision. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is it possible to bring about responsible police behavior without accepting the entire "Defund The Police" agenda? Kurt doesn't hesitate to point a finger of blame - and provide a quick tour of several pertinent aspects of First Amendment law. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1 S1E16: Fighting Words 6/3/2020 - Introducing Antifa, The Information Wing Of The Democrat Party 30:00
There has been kinetic action - riots and looting along with protests in the streets. There has also been information action by Antifa, with the willing participation of mainstream media. In this episode Kurt unpacks who/what Antifa is (it's complicated) and how the Trump administration has responded.. particularly when it comes to information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
The freedom to say what you think - we saw this week that Twitter is now "fact checking" that freedom out of existence, at least on its platform. How many more freedoms are we losing in the left's COVID-19 power grab? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If you're struggling to figure out what the judge in General Flynn's case is up to, what the Constitution has to say about it and how it's likely to end, never fear. Kurt will explain it in half the time of the typical Constitutional Law class in law school, and he's way more entertaining. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Where does the judge in the Michael Flynn case come off asking for third party intervention, when the Justice Department has decided that Flynn's prosecution was a mistake to begin with? That's what Kurt would like to know. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In addition to an essential geopolitics lesson regarding a semi-well known Mexican holiday, Kurt looks toward an election in which China will play a huge role -- and the Democrat candidate is up to his eyeballs in Chinese corruption. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Democrats are so happy keeping America locked up, it's unclear whether we will ever be free again. The mayor of New York is a perfect example - a dangerous, extreme example of governmental overreach. Plus - Cooking With Kurt. You'll be hungry when this episode is over. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Yes, conservatives have broken with tradition and organized protests. But unlike leftists who want something for nothing, protesters today just want the chance to go back to work. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the midst of our ongoing pandemic, Kurt examines power for power's sake - remember, anyone who likes power should never have it. Dogs and Democrats are getting the best of the general shutdown. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the armed forces, everyone answers to someone. If not - there's hell to pay. The commander of the Teddy Roosevelt discovered that not even the Coronavirus can justify ignoring the chain of command. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A projection of 100,000 or more dead. The news is as grim as it gets. And President Trump faced it head on in his March 31 briefing. Not that the media will give the President any recognition for his blunt, detailed, answer-all-questions session. Quite the contrary. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
Freedom, economic prosperity, security - how do you balance the three legs of this stool in the middle of a crisis? This is what we elect leaders to do. Anthony Fauci may be an expert with important advice, but it's advice. We elected President Trump, not President Fauci. And based on the approval ratings, the President is making good choices. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
He's been through the Gulf War, the LA Riots, the Northridge earthquake. But Kurt says there's something missing in the current viral crisis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1 S1E5: Fighting Words 3/11/2020 As Democrats Look For Excuses To Keep Biden Off Any More Debate Stages 36:44

Are we riding a Biden-ami to November and beyond? Why are the media writing off Bernie so soon? Let's find out - and while we're at it, let's make American Samoa great again. We'll also find out in this episode why Kamala Harris needs to pack some duds in the Samsonite.. and deconstruct the threatening words coming from the mouth of Chuck Schumer.

1 S1E3: Fighting Words 2/23/2020 411 On Bernie Sanders & Why President Trump Wants Cabinet Members Who Are On His Side 31:55
Every President chooses cabinet members who will follow that President's lead. And yet the main objection to President Trump's choice of Rick Grenell for intelligence chief, is that he is merely a "Trump loyalist". Given that the intelligence community has been wrong repeatedly since Iraq, isn't it time for new blood? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
We hired Donald Trump as President so that he could point his finger at corruption in order to fix it. If we tell President Trump to stop tweeting, we're keeping him from doing his job. But the length of Roger Stone's sentence isn't the only issue here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
President Trump will be attacked for mishandling the Coronavirus outbreak - even if he's not mishandling it. The President needs to get ahead of it now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
