Hello, welcome to the Bullwork Podcast. I'm your host Tim Miller. I'm delighted to have back David French opinion columnist for the New York Times

the most recent book Divided We Fall America's Secession Threat and how to

restore our nation he's co-host of the Advisory Opinions Podcast and his wife Nancy

cancer-free is that right? Cancer-free I mean way ahead of schedule Tim we were

supposed to go through chemo, surgery and radiation after surgery. They

declared her cancer free, but she still has to do the radiation, unfortunately, but it's

the best possible news.

Man, we are so happy for you.

Needed some good news.

I keep telling people I was like,

I have good news, the closer it is to me

and out in the world gets less and less good but that's great we've

been sending you all our love and prayers so happy for Nancy give her a squeeze for

me absolutely and we so appreciate it all right so we've been doing a lot of talk

about the Democratic troubles, the

troubles with Joe Biden and we're gonna do that but after Ezra Klein

podcast yesterday and you know I was I was looking to see what kind of

degree I need to put the oven up to I was gonna put my head in there and so we're

not gonna start with that we're gonna get to that at the end and I want to start with there was a national conservatism conference
