Please join me and the 2WAY community over the next week (or so) for episodes with three extraordinary people, all including your questions, which is the 2WAY way:
JESSICA REED KRAUS
THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 6PM ET
Come meet and talk with the woman at the center of one of the most important and fascinating media, social media, and political phenomena of this presidential election cycle, Jessica Reed Kraus.
Kraus is the stylish writer, keen observer, and mom of four who has built a sizable following for her Substack newsletter and lively Instagram feed with her commentary on lifestyle, true crime and, more recently, politics.
Participants in this conversation will have a unique opportunity to ask her questions and connect with her vast community of followers and fans.
I’ve learned a ton talking to Kraus — and I think I am beginning to understand the nature and sources of her appeal and success.
Her movement might not be quite as big as Donald Trump’s, but it is vibrant, energized, powerful, and a valuable prism through which to understand our country right now.
This 2WAY session is a great opportunity to get to know both Jessica Reed Kraus and the readers and followers who represent a true force in American politics in 2024.
The price to attend this special event is $25, which includes access to a recording of the event after it concludes.

RICHARD GRENELL
MONDAY, JUNE 24, 6PM ET
This will be a unique opportunity to talk about foreign policy with Richard Grenell, former U.S. Ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence, who is also one of Donald Trump’s top national security advisers.
This will be a chance to hear Grenell’s substantive views on foreign policy hotspots around the world.
Grenell has been much in the news lately, meeting with Arab-American leaders on behalf of the Trump campaign in Michigan; helping to broker Trump’s appearance before the Libertarian Party convention; and getting a profile in the New York Times (“To his supporters, Mr. Grenell is a loyal, tireless messenger for Mr. Trump who transmits the former president’s demands with an efficient bellicosity that stifles naysayers.”).
He's also a Log Cabin Republican leader who is helping to organize a second fundraiser headlined by Melania Trump, this one at the family residence in Trump Tower on July 8 (per Politico), a rare foray into politics by the former first lady and a testament to Grenell’s closeness to both Trumps.
In addition to your questions, Helen Zhang of the daily “International Intrigue” newsletter and I will be in colloquy with Grenell.
(This event was rescheduled because of the Trump criminal trial verdict.)

KARL ROVE
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 6PM ET
The archetypal Architect will break down the stats, demographics, and trends in the 2024 presidential battleground states.
This special event will be on June 26 at 6pm ET.
Professor Rove will deliver the kind of granular explanation that few have been privileged to hear, about how to figure out who is ahead (and just might stay ahead) in the states – and among the voters – that will decide this election.
The voter registration, the key demographics, the message targeting, the historical trends, the geographical divides – come learn how the pro-iest of pros follows the bouncing balls of super-competitive states.
This will be a one-of-a-kind opportunity to understand the past, present, and future of these essential states – and a rare opportunity to ask questions of the man who understands this stuff as well as anyone I have ever met.
