Hello and welcome to the Borg podcast.

I'm your host Tim Miller.

Stick around at the end.

I've got a few thoughts for you on the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the UHC assassin, as well

as the verdict in the Daniel Penny case. We've got a

mini mailbag, but first, staff writer at the New Yorker, where she writes a weekly column on life

in Washington. She's also the co-author of The Divider, a history of Donald Trump in the White

House, no longer a history, which she co-wrote with our husband, Peter Baker. It is, of course, Susan Glasser.

Welcome back.

How are you doing, Susan?

Hey, it's great to be with you again, Tim.

I guess it's everybody's talking about, I mean, I'm saving my thoughts from the end,

but do you have any deep thoughts or hot takes about the, about Luigi or about Daniel Penny?

Do you have anything you want to get off your chest on the issues everybody's talking about? You know, not beyond the blinding the original observation that, you know, we live in a

terrible, terrible timeline and maybe everybody needs to be a little bit less online and a

little bit more connected to people.

That's great. That is not original, but true and important and kind of related to what I'm

going to get to at the end. So that is right. Go touch some grass. People meet, you know,

go meet some neighbors. It sounds bad out there as much. You've renamed your column back.

We renamed. Yeah, exactly. We renamed it in New Yorker back to a letter from Trump's Washington, which obviously brings

with it the implication that it is Trump's Washington again in which you live.

I'm just wondering how you're processing that.
