Welcome to this conversation on the warning and I am really pleased to be joined by my friend David Packman of the David Packman Show, one of the great independent media broadcasts and one of the first sizable at scale independent media broadcasts and substacks and we're all following in David's footsteps in a lot of ways.

I know I've learned a lot from them listening to them and have benefited a lot as we've built

the warning community.

And so I'm really thrilled to welcome David here as our audience grows a little bit

tonight David welcome I want to I wanted to ask you as we come up on the you know

175 day mark of all of this how you see things in the circus,

the fight such as it is,

the scale of wreckage such as it is,

how I imagine it to be,

just will keep expanding.

And so this week today, when you look out there, what do you have your eye on as most

worrisome in the moment?

The thing that you look at, and for me, even though I am not surprised by anything, I still look at and for me even though I am not surprised by anything I still look at it and I say

wow and experiencing it is different than anticipating it and feeling the anxiety and the worry

and the dread is different than, uh,

and it is different in its arrival in its feeling than anticipating it.

So, so what do you, what do you see when you look out there and what, what have your kind of, oh, my God, eyes, you know, drawn to right now?

So two categories, the authoritarianism and the economy and the economic stuff.

I'll start with the economic stuff because it's sort of clear or cut in a way.

I've always been super honest with my audience, whether it's a of clear or cut in a way. I've always been super honest with

my audience, whether it's a Democrat or Republican in the White House. I'm just going to tell you

what's GDP, what's unemployment, where is the stock market inflation, these sort of metrics.
