Rejected by voters last November, the Democratic Party is perhaps afforded new life given President Trump’s decline in popularity and economic uncertainty ahead. What is the party’s message?  Rep. Ro Khanna, a prominent progressive voice whose California district includes parts of Silicon Valley, joins Hoover senior fellows Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster to discuss tariffs and the use of executive power, “blue state” mismanagement, the feasibility of a “Marshall Plan” for economically downtrodden parts of America, plus the chances of Democrats parting ways with their “old guard.” After that: the three fellows weigh in on the Trump presidency at the 100-day mark, the future of Catholicism after the death of Pope Francis, tax exemption for universities, their go-to takeout food (pizza yes; haggis, no), plus two April landmarks—the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon. Recorded on April 28, 2025.

  • It's Monday, April 28, 2025, and welcome back to Goodfellows,

  • a Hoover Institution broadcast examining social, economic, political, and geopolitical concerns.

  • I'm Bill Whelan, I'm a Hoover Distinguished Policy Fellow slash moderator,

  • looking forward to a conversation featuring three of the brightest minds I know,

  • the good fellows as we call them.

  • And I'm Ferg, of course, to the historian Sir Neil Ferguson,

  • the economist John Cochran,

  • and former presidential national security advisor, Lieutenant General H.R.

  • McMaster, Neil John, and H.R.

  • are all Hoover senior fellows.

  • Gentlemen, the two parts show today.

  • In the second part, we're going to look at the Trump administration at day 100.

  • Hand out grades assess progress.

  • But first, we're going to talk to a neighbor of ours.

  • And I'm referring to Congressman Ro Khada.

  • He is our neighbor because he represents the 17th Congressional District here in California,

  • which spans the southern portion of Silicon Valley,

  • which is just south of the Hoover Institution and Stanford University.

  • Congressman Kana serves on the House Farm Services Committee and the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.

  • Rokana is one of Congress's leading progressive voices, which raises a question, sir.
