Hi there. Thank you to everybody who answered my question at the beginning of yesterday's show, which is,

how are you doing with your news intake? How much is it affecting you? How are you watching, listening,

reading the news? I want to hear from you. Email me, stand up with Pete at gmail.com,

and let's talk about it at tonight's hangout at 8 East.

Oh, also, let's do a show.

Stand up.

And we are off.

I'll be joined today by Professor Eric Siegel.

That's right.

The legal eagle stops by.

We begin the conversation on today's show at about 39 minutes in after

headlines and clips which i'm going to jump into in a moment but i just do want to read a few of your

responses or excerpts from them because folks were very thorough keith oh emailed me and said that his day begins at 2.30 a.m. Keith, why? I mean, I get up early most days to finish the show up, but man, that's early. He says, I read Heather Cox Richardson, Ron Filipkowski, and Robert Reich on substack. While I work out before breakfast, I watch YouTube videos. My DisTouch is my go-to every day for the latest Trump Treasures. I also watch Adam Mockler. I don't know who Adam Mockler is. I have to look it up. Texas Paul Schroeder. Don't know him either. Thank you for both those tips. And of course, Glenn Kersner most often. Oh, very impressive. My workout is two hours. You, I mean, I'm learning more about your lifestyle. I like this. Then while

making my breakfast, I listened to John Fugel saying on the night before, and then Mr. Pete Dominic for his

great podcast. I love your daily lineup of news headlines, comedy clips, and your awesome interviews,

and your pro-democracy commentary, which America needs now more than ever in my 71 years on the

planet.

And I appreciate you very much, Keith. Thank you very much. You got to sign up for that paid subscription. He says he's a free subscriber right now. Hopefully soon he'll be able to help me pay my bills. Yeah, Keith could use it. Appreciate you. Thanks very much for the email. Great to hear from you. My friend Dan L out in Southern California says,

I get most of my real hear from you. My friend Dan L out in Southern California says,

I get most of my real news from you, Pete, and your experts, even though I do admit to mindlessly

listening to the evening news on a nightly basis. A side note, you're consistently more than a step

or two steps ahead of the nightly cable news. Sometimes you're even months ahead of a story
