Welcome to the Bullwork Podcast. It's Friday in folks. We've got an actually very special bullwork podcast today.

This episode is from our first live show that we taped in DC in front of a live audience on Thursday night. We had a pack house. It was great meeting many of you.

It really was an opportunity for us to connect with lots of folks and the whole bullwork team was there.

And I have to say that it was a reminder about how important what we do and what you do is for the future of democracy.

Bill Crystal was the master of ceremonies. We had standing room only. The tickets were sold out in just two days.

And the bullwork is planning more live shows all around the country. So sign up to become a bullwork member today.

And you'll get advanced notice on ticket sales for those events. If you weren't able to make last night, we will have more opportunities.

And I have to tell you, the based on the experience last night, you're going to want to be there.

And if you're already a bullwork plus member, you can also catch Tim Miller, Amanda Carpenter, and Sarah Longwell's amazing panel conversation, which was also part of our live show last night. So enjoy.

Shall we begin?

Okay.

I'm Bill Crystal, editor at large at the Bullwork. I keep it to help out a little bit.

Jonathan Lass, Adam Kuiper, Charlie Sykes, Tim Miller, do all the work. Many other people actually who are here, some of whom are here as well.

Sarah Longwell's the publisher. But I get to introduce everything. And I'll be very brief because we want to have very much one of here from Charlie Sykes and Officer Frenon, and then from our panel of Amanda, Sarah and Tim.

And then end at nine so we can spend an hour mixing and mingling and talking with each other.

I just want to thank you all for everything you've done for us. I mean, it really is wonderful to see so many of you in person.

We started this less than four years ago. The weekly standard was closed. It was closed by our wonderful odors the week before Christmas.

Much as I'm a defender of capitalism in corporate America, there are a few things that they do that make the sympathetic to the notion that maybe the workers should have a little more consideration sometimes. But anyway.
