Hello and welcome back to the Americano Show.

My name is Freddie Gray. I am the deputy editor of the spectator and the US editor. And I'm pleased to tell you that this is the 10th year of the

Americano podcast. And I think it's fair to say it's been a fairly fascinating time in American

politics, life and culture. And that's what we talk about every

episode on this podcast. So please keep listening and provide as much feedback as you like.

Hello and welcome back to the Americano show. I am here in Washington, D.C., in the beautiful

offices of the Heritage Foundation, where I am joining the great Daniel McCarthy,

our columnist, and much valued and loved contributor. Dan, great to be here. Congratulations on

your new job at the Heritage. Thank you, Freddie. I think I've had you on once since you got the

job. Yes, at least once, yeah, but we haven't done it in person.

That's right. Great to be here. Welcome back to the United States. It's great to be, great to be back in the land of the free. I think we should start by talking about, well, I know some of my way here that Donald Trump has just tweeted, sorry, truth social. He just said there can be in caps.

There can be no compromise when it comes to sanity and common sense, exclamation mark,

which of course is brilliantly Trumpian in the sense that it makes everyone feel a bit mad

when they read it or deranged, perhaps.

So I have to admit, I have not seen the truth yet.

I suppose we can't call it a tweet.

And even if it's on Twitter, we can't call it a tweet, right?
