Gahey, humans.

Welcome to the safe space for dangerous ideas.

Here's a dangerous question for you.

Has our culture ever actually reckoned, intelligently, had a grown-up conversation about the newer taboos, especially around race and gender

John Oliver from its first season right through until 2020 when he left the show because

he felt that it had become somewhat

ideologically captured and perhaps for personal reasons as well. Now Jeff has a wildly popular

political satire substack, a comedy substack called I Might Be Wrong and I had planned to chat with

Jeff because I've been a little bit out of the news loop. I wanted his thoughts on Minneapolis and Epstein and ICE and the 2020 election ballots in Georgia being seized and

Don Lemon's arrest and the Melania documentary, of course, the most important news. But we ended up

news without pandering to our audiences

and preaching to the choir. I hope you enjoy as much as I did. The one, the only, Jeff
