I would say controversial, but compelling ideas about whether or not civility has a place in American politics right now.

So we're going to be getting into that as well as a host of other things.

I'm super excited.

I didn't realize I had to work on Sundays here, but they say there's some free RX bars coming my way.

So I guess I'm going to ride it out.

What's up, guy? Thanks for having me on the pod again. What's up, guy?

I got to say, like, I think in the US we're a little bit like we have kind of a high bar for what protests sort of like stop us in our tracks. But Hungary does not have a culture of civil unrest.
