Hey, this is Dorey. Welcome to POSA of the people. In this episode, it's me, Don, and Miles talking about the news that you might not have heard her last week. And we are just doing a sort of debrief about what is going on in the federal government. It really does feel like every week there's something wilder and new, but haven't talked to Dawn in 2025, so excited to get his perspective.

And then I sit down with the former lieutenant governor of New York, Brian Benjamin, to discuss the roller coaster of a political journey that he's had.

It was a phenomenal conversation.

He's not done a lot of interviews since the legal drama ended.

I learned a lot and I hope you will too. Here we go.

Hey, everybody. This has been another wild week in the American government, and it is me and

Don today talking about everything. Miles is also part of the episode, but record his news

separately, but I'm D.R.A.Y on Twitter.

Don Calloway at D. Callaway on Instagram, which is oddly somehow like my only platform these days. I left X alone and I'm not really, you know, I leave Facebook to the aunties. And I'm really not adopting the blue sky thing yet. I just don't have space. I don't have space for more things, right? So find me on the gram at D. Calloway.

Boom.

Well, Don, let's just start with your read.

I don't think we've had you on in 2025, right?

I think the last time you were home was in 2024.

What's going on to you?

You've been in politics at every angle from being a citizen and a dad to working in campaigns to being

elected official. In some ways, it feels like this all moved much quicker than anybody anticipated

that Trump has been a little wilder than people thought. But maybe that's not what you think.

So before we even go into the news that we both have, let's, I just want your overall

download.

And because we haven't talked about it before, this would be fresh for me, too.

Yeah, man.

Yeah, man.
