Great talk Frank. In like manner of my 72 years I find my four grandchildren a saving grace. A celebration of meaning and love.

I had to. It was the only way I could make a living for myself. I’ve been to a fair share of parties, believe me.

Thank you Frank. There is nothing you said I can take exception to. You are obviously a very good man and one who understands the value of questioning and reasoning beyond what you were “taught” was The Way and The Only Way Amen. I will be sharing this one pod cast of yours in particular with Harris/Walz and Biden before that supporters in my family who are surrounded by Trump supporters who embody and Trumpet his frightening messages and plans for Americans and this amazing country. I could not have said it better. Thank you.

You resonate so much with my husband and I. We met you here in San Diego when you were touring with the Common Good back in the day! I am so glad you are still in the fight and I will be supporting your substack. Awesome podcast and we share the same kind of relationship with our grandchildren as well.

I love you Frank. I was there too...not as a leader but as one of those sheep. I'm a card carrying FORWARD PARTY member. Not so much Democrat anymore...surely I won't got back to the right. Never again. Wokeness is a stain that the Democratic Party needs to WASH OUT. Now!
