Hi, I'm Andy Levy, former Fox News and CNN-HLN guy and current cable news conscientious objector.

I'm a former libertarian who now sits pretty comfortably on the left.

Hi, I'm Danielle Moody, former educator and recovering lobbyist.

But today, I'm an unapologetic, woke commentator on America's threats to democracy.

And I'm producer Jesse Cannon, and I'm here to make sure things don't go too far off the rails. We're here to have fun, smart conversations with some of

the most knowledgeable and entertaining people in politics, media, and beyond. Our goal is to try and

make sense of our current crazy world, our new abnormal, and hopefully even make you laugh

through the tears. What a great show we have for you today. We're still on vacation, but that doesn't mean

we didn't record an extra special episode just for you. David Daley, the author of Anti-Democratic

Inside the Far Rights 50-year plot to control American election, joins us to break down the

rights judiciary power grabs, long-term threat to democracy, and where Democrats went wrong. Then, Rick

Pearlstein, historian and author of Reaganland and many more chronicles on American conservatism,

explains the wrecking ball appeal of Trumpism and how Democrats need to address the root causes

before it's too late. But first, let's have some fun. So as is new abnormal holiday tradition,

what we like to do around here is ask you some questions

to let the listeners get to know you guys a little better.

Who would you name 2024 as person of the year?

What's the criteria?

You know, a person you think deserves some recognition as being, having done some great

stuff this year.

Oh, okay.

Good.
