Hi, this is Josh Marshall, and this is the Josh Marshall Podcast.

David, we have something kind of different today, even though we have all this like political news going on.

Yeah that's true. Basically Congress and the Trump administration are in at logger heads fighting

over whether Don McGann's going to testify, it seems like whether Robert Mueller is going to testify, whether

Manucian and the Treasury and the IRS is going to hand over it Trump's tax returns, so

lots of different moving pieces in the political and I think that just just before we started recording this episode

I noticed that Sarah Sanders is now kind of saying that they might prevent Bob Boller from testifying.

But there seems like that is a turning out to be a good illustration of the basic

dichotomy you often have in the Trump administration where you have the

talkers, which includes the president and Sarah Sander saying one thing and the actual lawyers

who I think, I don't think anybody thinks there's any way they can prevent Bob Mueller from testifying if he wants to.

So yeah, that's that's but anyway so all that's happening.

Exactly but we're gonna we're doing something a little bit different today.

So tell us about you know people who follow you on Twitter,

which there are many followers,

have probably seen you engage in some back and forth

kind of over the issue of sharing the roads right

bicyclists right walkers right tell us a little bit how did that become an issue for

you how did you kind of get focused on this as a well I mean it's you know it's one of these

issues that is sort of a Twitter issue for me and is is partly tongue and cheek but

not totally tongue and cheek and one I think one of the one of the reasons that some people get

upset about it is that cyclists very understandably have a very defensive posture relative to motorists, right?
