I was glad for your conversation with Alisson Gill today, but I wish you didn't yell so much. So much important news, but I have to pause your show several times and receive it in smaller doses. John Heilemann, Ali Velshi, Michael Steele, and Steve Schmidt have similar speaking styles.

What is that? I’ve noticed it especially with Ali Velshi. I like him very much, but I can’t watch/listen. I’m blaming the tech before I blame him. (Or it’s my old age…I keep having to remind myself of that.)

That's a good point (and I agree about Ali. I do like him.) It could very well be that as I've gotten older, my ears are more sensitive to volume. I think Wajat had his mic level a lot higher than Allison's today, also. It's the preacher-cadence also that makes my chest tighten.

Thiel spoke at one of my daughter’s MBA classes at Oxford last year. She had no idea who he was before that. She said that consensus was that he was utterly insane. The students were trying not to laugh at him. But, you read these sorts of things about Adolph too. So, joke’s on us I’m afraid:

Build a playbook for a "left of MAGA coalition" to save democracy and then we can get back to arguing and settling that which we disagree on as they used to do once upon a time.
