hey everybody welcome back to the home front here on sub stack my name is re Galen. I am joined. We're just going to do a

short one here, guys, maybe 30, 40 minutes today with Tyler Emerson of On the Brink. Tyler,

welcome. Howdy. Thanks for having me. And Evelyn Quartz of Quartz Evelyn. Evelyn, welcome back.

Hello. Thanks, guys. Nice to be here. Nice to be here too. So, all right, so it's been a busy week news-wise, but we're going to, there's plenty of people, as Tyler noted, right before we went on that are talking about the headlines and everything else.

you know, God knows how much money it cost him to do it. And I said, you know, completely objectively,

not surprised at all. There was nothing new in this report about where the Democratic Party should go,

about what it should do other than, you know,

leave the culture issues aside, stop listening to the donor class, stop listening to the

cultural elite. I think the problem for me, and Evelyn, I'll start with you, is that it's very

hard to take that stuff seriously when all of the donors are all the people who give the most money

to the groups that put these things together are exactly those types of people. So it's sort of a

wink and a nod. Like we know what we have to say, right? We don't really believe it. And not only that,
