Thank you Matt -- please also note -- tomorrow Kamala (she and her sister are Hillary's protégés) will interview a serial rapist and reportedly pedophiliac Bill Clinton on -- "how to empower girls and women". Below is a link to another alarming example of Kamala Harris - Hillary's protégé:
At first I thought this was a joke -- the absolute arrogance of initiators of the scam of the century -- the Russia-gate 5+-year ongoing hoax -- the brazen arrogance of these corrupt DNC oligarch is simply astonishing. Also remember, the infamous Neera Tanden was running Clinton's massively corrupt CAP (Center for American Progress) "foundation" -- a vehicle for immense enrichment of Clintons
A horrifying skeleton in Kamala Harris – in addition to Tulsi Gabbard devastating critique in 2020 primaries. The police testified just how helpful both victims were in combating violence against women and child prostitution. Ms. Harris over-ruled the police and mounted unprecedented campaign for her political purpose. This resulted in sex workers becoming unprotected.
The Senate Accused Them of Selling Kids for Sex. The FBI Raided Their Homes. Backpage.com's Founders Speak for the First Time. An inside look at how indie media veterans James Larkin and Michael Lacey became the targets of a federal witch-hunt.
Kamala Harris' office accused him of pimping, including some counts involving minors. The Texas state attorney general said he was "making money off...modern-day slavery."
Lacey and Larkin were also arrested and charged with "conspiracy to commit pimping." They spent four days jailed in Sacramento, California. Harris, who at the time was running for the U.S. Senate, called them "despicable" and labeled Backpage "the world's top online brothel."
News of the arrest was covered extensively in major media outlets, with Harris quoted prominently. Her complaint was that bad actors and teenagers sometimes used the site—and her evidence that Backpage "knew" this to be true was that it reported suspected underage ads to NCMEC and cooperated with police. Harris was using Backpage's history of working with law enforcement against it.
"Make no mistake," said Lacey and Larkin in statement that month. "Harris has won all that she was looking to win when she had us arrested. Like Sheriff Arpaio, she issued her sanctimonious public statement, controlled her media cycle and got her 'perp walk' on the evening news." While such targeting was not new to them, this was the first time a state had decided it was "okay to consider the First Amendment implications after, not before, hauling people off to jail."
In early December, a Sacramento Superior Court judge dismissed the case. On December 23, with just a few days left in office, Harris tried again, filing new conspiracy-to-commit-pimping charges against Lacey, Larkin, and Ferrer, along with allegations of money laundering. Ferrer also faced 12 counts of pimping. Again, all pimping and conspiracy charges were dismissed, though the judge allowed a money-laundering case to proceed.
"We've never, ever broken the law," Larkin says. "Never have, never wanted to. This isn't really—I know this is probably heresy—this isn't about sex work to me. This is about speech."
"This is the biggest speech battle in America right now," Lacey adds. "The First Amendment isn't about protecting the rights of the McLaughlin Group to speak their mind on television. This is specifically what the fuck it's about. Unpopular speech. Dangerous speech. Speech that threatens the norm. Not only do we have that right, our readers have that right. The [Backpage] posters have that right.
"We spent 40 years doing journalism, groundbreaking journalism, and they want to take all that away," he says—because "they don't like who exercised their constitutional rights to use our advertising platform. And that has no goddamn bearing. The law doesn't say, 'You get to pick and choose who exercises their constitutional rights by whether or not you like their lifestyle.' It's just incredible."
So Matt, are you going to do a post presser revue? It's easy to pre-armchair quarterback but would be interested in hearing your after thoughts. I get it that most people born after 1980 don't have the historical context of WH press conferences so they will have a much smaller .reference from someone twice their age
It's one thing to having read the history of an era and then crack on it, but it's entire different for someone who has lived through it. I wouldn't critique a movie that I only read about or saw the trailer but I would ask questions to try and get an understanding.
Even though the podcast of leaves me sometimes longing for a hot tub and a straight razor, I'm happy to be a supporter as it's important to see how people younger than myself interpret currents events in terms of their perceived past.
How about everyone but me drinks when he references - "Dark Winter", "civility" or any "light" metaphors about a bright future. Puff of whatever you're smoking when he panders to any type of woke category.

You missed one. Drink every time biden says something then after the fact adds "that's number one. Number 2..."
What about: "When we come together as Americans, there's nothing we can't do."

Good luck!
Questions, answers and reporters were preselected. A sham presser.
Matt & Katie live is keeping me awake...
Number one & two Trump, implied number 3: Trump, Trump's fault........
“Here’s the deal" check
"Look" check
I generally don't drink that much this early, Matt. But, I'm in. We'll see.
Truly wish I had known about this sooner. I enjoy this game.
I can’t drink this early in the day.
