Our August break is continuing with a replay of one of our favorite chats we’ve ever recorded. This one is really fun. 

Over the next few weeks we’ll be re-sharing conversations with some of our favorite guests as they share their stories of independence, integrity, information, inspiration and definitely impact.

We’re kicking the series off with a conversation with comedy legend Sam Bee. And if you’re a Lindsey Graham fan, this one is not for you. Recorded live from the Manhattan Classic Car Club back in 2019, this episode is a candid, no-holds-barred conversation with one of America’s most important voices in comedy and journalism.

As you’d expect, Sam doesn’t hold back, delivering a blistering critique of the administration, the politicians who enable it, and the moral compromises being made in Washington to placate Trump. Sound familiar? This episode is a look back at 2019 when we were just getting started. But once you give it a listen, you might be surprised by just how relevant it still is.
