    Inside Political Science #036 – American Affordability: A New Mantra
    Dec 19 2025
    Do Americans think the country is on the wrong track? Between the economy, healthcare, housing, and elections, affordability is a major concern for many Americans. Kirby and Todd discuss how the term has taken over political media. It’s a “new mantra,” they say, but who’s to blame for the lack of affordability many Americans say they’re facing? Later, they talk about the increase in housing prices and the worries of many young Americans. Will they fulfill the “American dream?” Does it reflect uncertainty within the economy? With recent discussion surrounding healthcare and its various programs, what’s ultimately fair and affordable for most Americans? Kirby and Todd say that with patience, there’s hope for a better future. For more on this show and to listen to past episodes, visit tx.ag/insidepoliticalscience

    Inside Political Science #035 – From the Authors of “Nativist Nation”
    Nov 21 2025
    In this episode, co-host Kirby Goidel is joined by pollster Clifford Young to dive into their new book, "Nativist Nation.” Todd inquires about the current state of the country and how nativism has affected the U.S. Is it a cultural or economic issue? Does nativism define American politics? Who belongs in America? Kirby claims that nativism has always been present in politics, but there’s a time when it lights a fire and is more prominent. Cliff Young says it’s a political driver in the United States. Later, they discuss the role American nativism has on immigration. Do American born citizens feel threatened by immigrants? Do immigrants challenge what it means to be American?

    Inside Political Science #034 – Do Local Elections Matter?
    Nov 7 2025
    It’s off-year election season, but how much significance do these elections have? With the New York City mayoral election in the national spotlight, Kirby and Todd touch on the effects of the election’s outcomes. To what extent does the mayor truly hold power? Although voter mobilization encourages people to get up and vote, it’s the persuasion that truly makes a difference. Later, they touch on the ongoing government shutdown, the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Kirby and Todd question whether the differing benefits for Democratic Party leaders and Republican Party leaders are worth the government standstill. Kirby says if the shutdown truly had profound immediate effects, then our government leaders wouldn’t risk playing the political game – but at what cost?
