You get my plea to all content providers who do video. Please provide transcripts. I can read 10x faster than you can talk and I can listen. I end up missing a lot of content. Perhaps I will listen when stuck in the car.

Just from the title, I think I would be interested in the discussion but I have a long list of such discussions.

I have long maintained that the political dysfunction in the West is not caused by the socialists but by the fake conservatives, whether they be GOPe, Tories, CDU or whatever it is that Macron is. Thus my advocacy for populist fusion a la William Jennings Bryan. The opportunity is there as we all witnessed with the interaction between Trump and Obama at the Carter funeral. And who put Hegseth's tattoo on Carter's coffin?

I have now read it and it reinforces my point about populist fusion. It would be nice if some on the populist Left would help MAGA smite the GOPe. There really is some common ground to work with as Ahmari notes. Concern about private coercion has long had a home on the MAGA Right. You see this most prominently in the issues about debanking and censorship. He understands that the Republican party is not one thing. He does make a mistake about the union movement by treating it as one thing. The MAGA people are open to supporting private sector unionism but, like FDR, not public unions. And the big numbers these days are in the public unions.

Sorry and thank you.

It’s not the most intuitive thing, must be a platform issue— it only lives on the site but doesn’t go with email or on app. Cheers

That was my problem. I was working off your email rather than going to the site. I will remember in the future.
