This week is the first week I am finding myself fast forwarding on the recording. The beauty of this platform is allowing Sean, Dan and guests to speak without too much interruption with Mark setting up tone at the beginning and facilitating.

Lately, Mark has been overtalking them and the guests.

This is an absolutely lovely platform. Be careful with the success. Remember the key reasons we are listening. When everyone is overtalking - it is hard to listen and especially hard to manifest "peace, love and understanding."

The Democrats don't need podcasters they need policies that aren't insane

[renaem]

Sean clearly wins the sweater wars! The pocket, the invitation to use the pocket, and shredded Santa. 😂 💀

One last comment...the lady at 32:00 (whose name I couldn't catch) reflects so many of us, and our disbelief that some of these stories are just not being covered at all. Congrats to her!

It’s to do with policies not podcasts. The fact is that the Democrats have gone crazily left and the folks are not there!!

Charlie Kirk aka (Turning point) is on college campuses and focused on young voters. The democrats have left that up to the university professors and leadership to “educate” that group. Turning Point is providing a counter narrative.

Another banger episode. Mark was really pushing back today and Dan was able to keep up with him.

I am so here for Dan. I am a Trump supporter but Dan is so lovely!

Those are presents on Sean's sweater 😂, not candles.
Very very cool medal of honor Sean!! Wow...👍👍👏👏👏♥️

As a Conservative I thank Gd Dan has no interest in the DNC Chair

[daffyduck]

Oh Dan!
The look on your face when Mark said, "But the NYT's isn't on the phone with ..." was just priceless! And maybe a little revealing?

[laurilooc]

How about the more centrist-right podcasters? Mike Rowe, Triggernometry and others are really great. All of these large-audience podcasters are successful now because the Left has pushed so many of us to the Center and Right

[swallman]

Props to Erica for being so well versed on the Title IX issues and the total roll back of due process rights.

[brendonclarke]

The dems problem is authenticity. No podcast can fix that.

[WarHammer]

The lady (I think her name is Christy?) and her way of talking about the 500, 000 migrant children missing and the pardon was so moving. 😟😟😟

BILL COSBY
The concept of the ugly Christmas sweater is often attributed to Bill Cosby. Cosby, playing the character Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show, frequently wore brightly colored, gaudy sweaters. These sweaters became iconic and are considered the inspiration for the modern ugly Christmas sweater trend.

Mark showed his beltway journalist heart, by demonstrating poorly concealed jealousy towards MAGA movement, their effective populism, which he is so envious of.

[suebowman]

21:10 I agree with Mark. Trump 2024 is our hope to fix the issues. I flew from Portugal to volunteer for Trump. The Democratic party left us.

STOP INTERRUPTING ALL OF THE TIME, MARK!!! Let people finish their thoughts. Sheesh!
