Happy Holidays!

This is Deep State Radio, coming to you direct from our super secret studio

in the third sub-basement of the Ministry of Snark in Washington, DC,

and from other undisclosed locations across America and around the world.

Hello and welcome to another one of those special end-of-year podcasts you're

getting used to hearing from everybody. This, of course, is Deep State Radio.

I'm David Rothbuff, your host, and I'm coming to you from our nation's capital,

Washington, DC. We are joined today by a special group of brilliant people starting, of course,

with Dr. Corey Shockey of the American Enterprise Institute. How are you doing, Corey?

I am exceedingly well, David. I have hopscotched across the country,

and I have safely ensconced west of the hundredth Viridian.

Very smart, given the weather reports I've been reading, because I think

everything dewey's to where you are across the country is going to have a really rough week.

Well, it's just for California anyway.
