Graham H. Walker, Ph.D.

Show Notes

The 2026 election may look like a fight between parties, but some of the biggest questions cut straight across those labels. In this episode of Independent Conversations, Graham H. Walker sits down with Phillip W. Magness and Williamson M. Evers to examine the policy fights beneath the ballot: tariffs, billionaire wealth taxes, government stakes in private companies, war powers, antisemitism and AI regulation. The bigger question running through the conversation is simple: when both the left and the right are finding new reasons to expand government power, what exactly are voters being asked to approve?
