publisher of the bulwark. If you guys love the next level with me, Tim, and JVL, we think you're

going to like the secret podcast. It's a show that JVL and I do every Friday, but it is behind the paywall.

And one of the reasons we do the secret podcast is it's one of the only products here at the

bulwark that we ask people to pay for.

It's what you get if you're a bulwark plus subscriber or if you subscribe to this feed on Apple podcasts.

It's an interesting show.

JBL and I, we fight about our worldview.

Are the voters good or bad?

We go deep on the issues of the day.

We often talk through what we're thinking.

We don't just tell you what we're sure we're thinking,

but we wrestle with the ideas. We wrestle with each other. So come join us.

I would say after a week of literally nothing.

I didn't check my email once.
