When I look for truth and honesty, I looked for Marc! Thank you, Mark!
I loved your analysis on Fuentes. There have been several things I’ve listened to lately pointing out the importance of place. Salena Zito and Jonny Joes Jones on Mike Rowe’s podcast. I’ve always wondered how did we as humans allow the Holocaust happen? It’s a question I don’t think has been answered well. Today’s algorithms are giving people the place they seek, good bad or indifferent. How do we redirect or provide better PLACES for humans to hangout?
Very disappointed in Ro Khanna. Defaults to the feckless United Nations Its toady Court rather than take a real position.
Must listen every day. Sane neutral takes…Mark is awesome
This is one of the best podcasts available. If you are looking for political insights, Mark Halperin is a DC insider who tries to see both sides of every issues. He’s a common sense reporter with far more experience than most.
