Thanks for the thoughtful and respectful push back on Bret. While he certainly is remarkably gifted, I actually felt empathy for him towards the end of the podcast he struck me as somewhat miserable, isolated, and overworked. The look on his face said it all. Could David Brooks and David French do an intervention over at NYTimes? Once again, the caliber of dialogue was first-rate.

With all do respect, I winced when you sort of lumped Stephens, Brook s and French together. I often disagree with French (particularly about abortion and the Supreme Court), but he is a deep intellectual thinker. Brooks has increasingly become a quasi-mystical hack (maybe finding religion in late middle age isn't good for the soul) and should retire. Stephens is an unrepentant neocon, and while I sometimes I often with him about antisemitism and Israel, he's almost always wrong on dometic political issues and unwilling to say publicly that he will vote for Harris. Oh and by the way you can throw Ross Douthat into the imx as another overrated NY Times conservative.
