Hey everyone, it's me, Reed Galen.

As you may have noticed, I don't host the Lincoln Project podcast anymore,

but I'm so excited to share with you my brand new show, The Homefront.

On the home front, you'll get the same incisive discourse about the pro-democracy movement

from the smartest, most driven people in the fight today.

If you're listening to this episode on the Lincoln Project podcast channel,

I invite you to subscribe to the Homefront on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your shows.

I want to say thank you to all of you in the pro-democracy movement, and I look forward to

continuing our American journey together. And now, the Homefront. Welcome to the Homefront.

I'm your host, Reid Galen.alen today I'm coming to you solo just to share some thoughts and perspectives as we are here 46 days from election day

it's hard to believe that we're this close and in many ways the next 46 days will take longer than the last year have but that's the

nature of politics i'm always interested in campaign season guys as i've been through it so many

times now somebody asked me how many decades i've been doing this and it turns out i've been doing

it more than three decades which is hard to believe because i don't feel like i'm that old but

it's interesting is that when you start the stretch run into campaign season, it's the heat of August. And by the time

you get to election day, everybody is wearing sweaters and hats. We're deep into the football season.

People are thinking about the holidays. And so it's both a seasonal and a physical and a political transition that I've

been doing for a long, long time. And the last nine years have been something that I don't

think I could have imagined. And I don't think any of you all could have either. And so just

wanted to spend a little bit of time today thinking about why it's so important to remember

what it is we're doing and why we're

doing it and frankly who we're up against. And I know that you guys often don't need a reminder,
