Stand up.

Hi there.

Hope you are doing okay.

And I'm really happy that you press play on today's show.

I've got two first-time guests on today's show.

That's right.

I've got Alec McGillis, who's an award-winning journalist from ProPublica.

Great conversation with Alec, which starts at 28 minutes.

And then from the Super Pack, American Bridge Pack, the president of that pack,

it's Pat Dennis. Really interesting conversation. Learn a lot about him and the strategy that

his company, his organization is employing to elect Democrats. That begins at 59 minutes.

But first, of course, I've got your headlines, your clips, and I want to thank you for joining me.

If you did last night's hangout, there was like 70 people at the Monday night hangout.

I'm very excited to have best-selling author and the inspiration for so many things in my life.

Hashtag vitamin N because of author Rich Louvre joined us last night. He was just hanging out and

finally put him on the spot about an hour and a half in. I was very happy to have him. And so many

of the rest of you, we had a great conversation, very serious for most of it. But then the last hour,

again, was a lot of fun. And really enjoyed ourselves and had some some great laughs

that made it worth coming to for sure so thank you to everybody who came to the hang out i'll post a

link if you want to listen or watch it in today's subscriber email i cannot do the show without your

support so thank you to everybody who does support it.

Never gets old to say thank you.
