Welcome to Democracy Ish.

And I'm with Jahatli.

And Wash, we have yet another brilliant special guest joining Democracyish this week.

I am absolutely very excited to speak with the host of the Mary Trump show and

multi-author, multifaceted Mary Trump.

Mary, I don't even know where to begin, to be honest.

I don't know where to start.

But let us start, I think, with the seventh hearing that we all watched this week.

There were multiple bombshells that were dropped, and I know that we will get into a host of them.

But you were watching live on

your show with a bunch of some of my favorite friends and analysts. And I want to start off with asking,

what were the things that stood out to you that really were just like, oh my God. No, he couldn't possibly have. Well, I have to be honest,

and Danielle Laj, it's great to be here. Thank you so much for asking me. I've been saying for a

long time that nothing Donald does surprises me. And I think it shouldn't surprise anybody else at this point. But one thing about

yesterday's hearing that I thought was interesting was the change in tone. It was more restrained.

It was a little bit more cerebral, especially in the first half when there were no live witnesses.

But I thought it was a kind of nice, they kind of took the temperature down a little bit

and just sort of got into the nuts and bolts, which I think was really effective.

The only thing that surprised me, honestly, was when Representative Jamie Raskin, whom, as I said yesterday, nobody could possibly admire more than I admire him.

Honestly.

Right?

For so many reasons.
