You're listening to me for free right now, and that's awesome because more and more things aren't free right now.

I mean, think about all the things you're paying for daily, monthly yearly.

Well, here's something that won't add to that list, the free iHeartRadio app, podcasts, streaming music, digital radio.

All free, it's the future of audio and unlike almost everything else in your life right now,

except maybe air, it doesn't cost a dollar.

So take advantage of this, listen to everything you love on the iHeartRadio app for free.

This is the Tom Hartman program.

So something caught my eye this morning, this was over at politico.com by Michael Schaeffer.

And you know, I don't know Michael's politics, I don't know if this is coming from the writer from

the left, but it's titled, please, please stop with the progressive hero worship of Jack Smith and

Tonya Chutkin. And the point that Michael Schaeffer is making in this op-ed, he says, I get the

impulse, he says on social media, there are Chutkin memes and preemptive defenses against

Republican senators who might accuse her of bias. The preemptive meme is that they confirmed

her unanimously. The Democratic activist, Victor Shee says, she's my new hero.

And on an MSNBC prosecutor, Dave Henderson called her Trump's worst nightmare.

And this, according to Michael Schaeffer, is a problem.

He says that a cult has sprung up around Jack Smith, complete with fanboy, twitter,

and tiktok accounts, and sales of a pillow, depicting Smith as jaws. And there's also

name checks of Alvin Bragg and Fanny Willis. He goes on to say, he says, people need to resist.

He says in a democracy of embattled institutions, this sort of veneration is an absolutely

terrible look. And for supposed foes of the ex-president, it's also awfully counterproductive.
