The Hi there. Welcome to another dish, a post-election dish, major takeage, imminent, incoming, all the wisdom that I obviously showed to such an extraordinary extent last week in my column.

Except, anyway, I agree. I misjudge this one.

I'm totally frank about it. We'll talk about it later.

Although the actual piece is really, I think, stand.

I don't, I think there was, there is reaction to democratic extremism,

but I think it was mercifully tempered in the election by resistance to Republican extremism, too.

And we ended up roughly in the middle, which I honestly, the longer it sits with me, the happier I am about

it. It was a normal, normal midterm election. Democracy didn't end. But let's put that off

for my discussion with my guest. The DISH Council, I just want to remind you, is, of course,

the sister product of my global media empire, which includes the Weekly

Dish, which comes out every Friday.

I just wonder how many of you listen to the podcast don't have a subscription to The

Weekly Dish, and I want to urge you to, please.

We have just broken a new record for a total number of subscribers, 125,000 people now get the

weekly dish and this podcast in their email every Friday. But a lot of you come to the podcast

from other directions. Check it out. Check out the weekly dish on Substac. If you like it,

please subscribe. Also, check out the new substack by my guest, Damon Linker. It's called Eyes on the

Right. And it is a wonderful, witty, fun, interesting, deep, and knowledgeable take down and

view of the American right today and in the past.

And as you know, we're doing a series of podcasts that are trying to figure out what's going

on in the right, what the new right is.

And Damon is a real former insider, kinder, expert.
