Hey, pull up a chair.

It's axon tap with David Axelroth, Robert Gibbs, and Mike Murphy.

Greetings, hacker ruse.

I am here.

We're back.

It is a turbulent time in our nation and our world.

We have very grim news from the conflict in Ukraine.

We have high stakes politics here at home with a Supreme Court nomination and many other

things of foot.

Plenty to talk about in this midterm election year.

I'm here with my partner in blowviating, the one and only Robert Gibbs is going to introduce

our terrific guest, a friend of the show, and I'll give you a little hint going in.

A political career which Robert will explain, but I would say he has the most honorable

of professions now.

He's a bookseller.

First of all, I'm going to push back on that whole blowviator thing, but we'll do that

in a second hour.

Well, you're doing it with blowviating later.

It'll be a fair fight.

Exactly.

But we have with us Murphy, one of our favorite guests, longtime congressman, Steve Israel,

two thankless cycles at the Democratic Congressional campaign committee.
