Glimmer of hope is the start ingredient for progress. The political math trend for much of the last 14 years has been polarization.

I did notice a drop off, and more importantly I’ve noticed both you and Steve are still here kicking. Pretty cool when you consider all the years you guys have been doing it and the fact the product is still free.

That tells me it is a labor of love. Sharing your thoughts with us is still something I look forward to in my inbox, so when they are there, I grab another cup of coffee and dig in.

So, thanks for staying around and doing what you do when you can do it. It is appreciated.

David just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your efforts. While I often find myself disagreeing with you to varying extents, I appreciate your insights and perspective in discussing current events. The glimmer of hope you offer today may indeed be the start of a return to normalcy.

"I also wouldn’t be surprised if political violence increases as MAGA violently tries to hold onto power." Sure, MAGA is violently attempting to hold on to power. How many times has Kamala Harris been shot at? Biden? Gavin Newsom? AOC? How many nut jobs have stalked Sonia Sotomayor with intent to murder? Missed those headlines....... How many left-leaning influencers have been shot while at a public engagement? Are you STILL talking about Jan. 6? Seems like those trying to make a case that the right or MAGA is "violent" will hang on to Jan. 6 longer than the institutional memory of WWII or 9/11..........sad.

"Late-term abortions are extremely rare and represent only about one percent of abortions." I am pro-choice, but this is a lazy statement analagous to "Public murders of CEOs of health insurance companies are extremely rare.........".

A great piece of optimism!! Are you okay with me linking to it and mentioning it in the next podcast, brother?

Dave, Lindell lost in Minnesota, not Michigan. Lisa Demuth is the Republican nominee for Minnesota governor, not Michigan. She is currently Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives
