Charles Manson famously said, “You can’t kill me. I’m already dead.” I thought about that quote as the 60 Minutes scandal erupted, with a conversation between reporter Scott Pelley and newly hired producer Nick Bilton. From the NYT:

Dear Paul Krugman,
You used to be the kind of journalist I thought was telling the truth. I looked up to you, as I did so many writers at the New York Times. I was a different person then. That was before everything changed. The year was 2020, a sum... more
Ashley St. Clair is all of us. Well, she might not be you. She might not even be me. Although I see some of myself in her. But she is this mess we’ve built. Like all of us, she has played a role in this ongoing virtual Civil War between Left and Righ... more
The 2024 election was a disaster for the Democrats. They have never been held to account for any of it. That would ordinarily be the job of the legacy media, but they’ve long since abandoned any pretense of objectivity. They are part of the “resistan... more

I found Sasha through Megyn Kelley, and it seems Sasha has gone forward with critical thinking. I enjoy every show and especially her insights into how she came to support Trump although she was fully on the left. I listen with compassion and a dose of wonder as she pulled herself out of the mind virus, and came to this place, through listening, watching, critical thinking and thoughtful dialogue. I have great respect for you, Sasha. I think we would be friends!
Consistently great podcasts on culture politics and the life of a Hollywood persons transition from left to right. It’s always fascinating.
Thank you Sasha. Speaking truth!!! 💖
Still feeling for you Sasha from Australia.
There is a section of the animal Kingdom that God has given a soul to that naturally gravitate towards having relationships with us human beings I think.
Sasha it’s why the resurrection is the centre of everything because without that there would be no real Hope of ever seeing Jack again… But I personally am 100% convinced that animals that we love on earth are waiting for us in heaven. God is a God of love and I think real love is that kind of gentle... more
I look forward to Sasha‘s podcast every week, not only because she has such a soothing voice and an impeccable use of the language, but because she speaks from the heart and is smart about it. When she describes her transformation from left-wing foot soldier to outright Maga supporter, it’s fascinating to hear. I grew up in the valley at the same time so I do like to hear her takes about her life and eventually I like to hear her takes about politics. Keep up the great work Sasha! From one val... more
