It is in this spirit that we make the case for a new center,

one that does not split the difference between left and right,

but offers a principled alternative to both.

This is Sarah from the Left and Beth from the Right.

You're listening to fancy politics.

Now shouting, new insults, plenty of notes.

Thanks guys.

I was doing my leadership Northern Kentucky program that I've talked about on the show before

and I spent the day immersed in poverty.
