A Special Request

I do this because I believe in our rare and beautiful American experiment, and because I want it to be strong and flourishing for all our families, no matter color nor creed.
I’m able to do this show with the generous support of our paying subscribers, to bring on a diverse range of smart, thoughtful guests. I don’t do the hair-on-fire thing because of what I hear from you, you’re exhausted by it. Me too.
I need your help to do this. If you’re here and you appreciate this, please spring for $5/month.
