About the guests:
S.E. Cupp was born in 1979 in California and raised primarly in Andover, MA. She was a classically trained dancer and danced for Ellicott City Ballet, Washington Ballet and Boston Ballet for a period of 10 years.
After high school, she studied art history at Cornell University and worked for her college paper, the Cornell Daily Sun, as the Arts & Entertainment editor. During college, she worked for the Vose Galleries in Boston, the Whistler Museum, and the Johnson Museum as an intern. She graduated a year early and worked for short periods at an online magazine and a PR company. In 2002, she was hired by the New York Times to write and edit for the Index Department.
She is currently pursuing a Masters degree at NYU in religious studies, and plans to write about American culture, including politics, sports and religion, in the future.
S.E. follows the Mets, the Packers, and NASCAR, and enjoys fishing, target shooting and travel.
Brett Joshpe was born in 1980 in Stamford, NY, where he was raised in a family of four with his father, Glen, mother, Vicki and brother, Chad.
He graduated from Cornell University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and from Harvard Law School in 2005 with a Juris Doctor. While in law school, Brett formed a student organization called Students for Protecting America, which garnered national media attention for its support of the war in Iraq. He also served on the Republican National Committee’s 72 hour task force in Miami, Florida in the days leading up to the 2004 Presidential election.
After law school, Brett worked as a corporate and real estate attorney at the law firm of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP. He now serves as a corporate counsel at the law firm of Wrobel & Schatz LLP and has several business pursuits outside of law, including serving as a principal in the commercial real estate firm, Iconik Enterprises, LLC.
Brett’s passions include playing sports, spending time with his family, discussing politics and following the New York Mets.
Cupp and Joshpe quickly discovered, living in New York, that it is neither popular nor very accepted to be a conservative living there. Their book, "Why You're Wrong About the Right", can be found at http://www.whywrongaboutright.com .
