I loved this conversation. Thanks you both for talking with us. I was anxious all morning about this event with the military and am somewhat relieved to know your thoughts. But, I do not trust the admin. and feel they still might pull a fast one with the military. I just hope our men and women keep true to their oath to the Constitution. I also fear that this made us very vulnerable to attack from who ever might want to attack us what with our military all concentrated in one space at one time. I think they should not have left their command posts.
I know he’s her husband. Perhaps that’s why she took so many liberties.
Better to have a few prioritized questions answered well than what seemed to become a scattershot approach wherein it became difficult to follow a train of thought.
He was the interviewee donating his expertise & didn’t receive the respect deserved … respect not just due to rank, but the real value of his opinion on *serious matters. She likely doesn’t have access to that level of experience & expertise on her own journalistic merits.
— she should stick to cookie recipes as she did yesterday if she can’t do better than this.
* I made serious time & effort to participate in her 2 interviews & continued to give her the benefit of the doubt until it simply got too irritating vs the benefit.
I know that I am late in posting this, but I am catching up on my e-mails. I thought the husband/wife broadcast was charming! You both make a great couple and I enjoyed the looseness of it. I look forward to more of the same. As for my take on the recent military meeting, I believe Trump is just priming the pump for using the military against anyone who disagrees with him, particularly Democrats (aka terrorists,antifa, the enemy within, etc). With the upcoming "No Kings" protest this weekend, we could see "squelching dissent " taken to a new level and...wait...there's someone at my door...it's Desantis' gestapo...they want to know if I am the one writing this post...I haven't even sent it yet! Gotta go...
Thank you for this informed response to this insanity. I believe this is a calculated setup to try to control future elections.

Alex are you going to San Francisco? Liked seeing you and Rachel together.
I like to hear both speakers but the interruptions are distracting and important points get lost in all that
The interviewer spoke too fast & interrupted too often.
Very presumptuous & irritating.
That was Alex's wife, Rachel. This was a conversation filled with numerous questions.
I know he’s her husband. Perhaps that’s why she took so many liberties.

Cookie Recipes?
Yesterday her interview was with a friend and loosely centred around baking, esp chocolate cookies, with little add-ins of topical political stuff.
It’s interesting that you think being openly misogynistic and insulting to his wife is giving him the respect he deserves.
I was irritated at her constant cutting in & talking over him.
It was a matter of respect & coherence.
I certainly wouldn’t do that if my husband agreed to be interviewed by myself.
You are giving an interpretation that perhaps fits a protective narrative more than sticking to the facts.
I subscribed to her SUBSTACK to be supportive of her — but I will not tolerate poor & disrespectful interviewing habits — what wd she learn from that?
Plus she needs to learn to *enunciate vs rattle on at breakneck speed.
The object is to cover important ideas, not justcoverabunchofideasquickly.
Love the interaction between you two.
Thank you for the two points of view. This is a nice format. I appreciate the analysis and and the business/marriage challenge.
