Credit to commenter John from Daejeon for pointing me to the John Stossel interview with Vivek Ramaswamy. Branching out from that, I found Stossel's interview with Ron DeSantis (made before DeSantis declared his candidacy). Both interviews are worth commenting on, but for now, I'm just going to put them out there for your perusal. Stossel seems to lean right in his own views, but he at least slips in quite a few Devil's-advocate questions to keep interviewees on their toes. You can hear the objections of the left in these questions, so I'd say this is at least an attempt at balanced journalism—something you won't get from a leftist interviewer (compare the recent CNN "town hall" with Trump, in which Kaitlan Collins, formerly of Fox News, does nothing but hammer Trump with leftie talking points.
Stossel and Ramaswamy:
Stossel and DeSantis (the YouTube version is gone, but the interview is still up at Rumble):
If you're looking to see what these people's policies, platforms, and core values might be, both of these interviews are good places to start.
The Ramaswamy video is around 50 minutes; the DeSantis video is around 40 minutes. Watch both at 2X speed if you're pressed for time.
