And I'm Welcome back everyone to a new episode of You're Wrong with Molly Hemingway and

David Harsani. Just as a reminder, if you'd like to email the show please do so

at radio at the Federalist

dot com we'd love to hear from you do we not moly we do I'm glad to hear you say that

we we had our annual Federalist retreat last week. It was great. We get

together once a year because everyone's remote. We have people as far away as Alaska, like very few people live or work in the

DC area for the Federalist. That's actually one of the things that makes us so awesome because

we are not beholden to the idiocy of the beltway or New York City.

I mean we have people, myself included in the beltway in New York City, but it's not like a majority of the staff or anything close to it.

But that also means we don't always know each other that well.

And so we get together once a year, and it was so much fun.

And one of the conversations we had there, I was talking about how much I love, love, our readers,

our listeners, our listeners, Federalist readers and listeners are just like some of my very favorite

people and that was going on about how nice and wonderful they are and you were you saying that

David or were you saying something else was I saying that they were nice and

wonderful probably not probably not but I would say they're more wonderful than most people.

Like it, okay. You have to be curmudgeonly and a misanthrop.

But... It is interesting that I like this retreat because I think most people think I'm crankier than I am probably

digitally. Would you agree with that? And when they meet me, I hope that they see that I'm not that, you know, that much of a crank.

Though, I don't know if that's true.

There were many reasons why I loved the retreat, but I have to be honest that like just as much as I love

talking to you each week spending time with you in person is like a highlight for me so
