Hi folks, this is Rick Wilson and welcome to the Daily Beasts, the new abnormal.

Hi, I'm Molly Junkfast, novelist and editor at large at the Daily Beast and the person

who tells Rick not to tweet the things he wants to tweet.

I'm an editor at large at the Daily Beast, a former Republican political strategist, best

selling author and full-time troublemaker.

The new abnormal is about one nation under a pandemic and how it's changing all of us.

We'll talk about what's happening in the country and the culture and look at good and

bad people, leadership and ideas.

Molly and I come from very different political worlds, but what brings us together is that

we both love America.

We realize that putting our country over party and ideas over ideology might be the only

thing that gets us through this.

We'll be joined by smart gas from media, politics, culture, medicine and science.

I'll try to keep ripped to the minimum number of curse words and try to keep our pets and

other wildlife sounds from invading our respective bunkers.

All right, so we have a slightly different format for today because we have so many complaints.

Do you have a number of complaints because I have a number of complaints?

I have a number of complaints.

My complaints are boundless in number.

This is an honor of Jerry Stiller, right?

Of the Festivist.

RIP, the airing of grievances will now begin here on the new abnormal.
