Dear Mr Hanson,
Quite enjoyed this episode, laughing out loud at your description of Robert De Niro. Truer words never spoken. On the other hand, your sober and judicious efforts to rehabilitate Kevin McCarthy, a DC swamp creature of the worst sort is distressing. He’s not a Rino, he’s Nancy Pelosi’s doppelgänger. Belated happy birthday.
Respectfully, Eric Koehler
I want to bring one of the greatest American actors to your attention, he retire from acting in 2004 and is now 94 years old, I suggest you do a bit of research on him, he has had an impressive life, I am speaking about the great Gene Hackman.
Sharon Stone doesn’t get the irony when she says “we” are an adolescent county.
No, she is an adolescent, emotionally and intellectually. Just like every other Leftist and progressive.
Their worldview is immaturity expressed as a political philosophy.
Among our greatest actors, I include Robert Duvall. Incredible breadth:
He made his feature film acting debut portraying Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). Other early roles include Captain Newman, M.D. (1963), Bullitt (1968), True Grit (1969), M*A*S*H (1970), THX 1138 (1971), Joe Kidd (1972), and Tomorrow (1972), the last of which was developed at the Actors Studio and is his personal favorite.[1]
Duvall won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as an alcoholic former country music star in the film Tender Mercies (1983). His other Oscar-nominated films include The Godfather (1972), Apocalypse Now (1979), The Great Santini (1979), The Apostle (1997), A Civil Action (1998), and The Judge (2014). Other notable roles include The Outfit (1973), The Godfather Part II (1974), The Conversation (1974), Network (1976), True Confessions (1981), The Natural (1984)A, Days of Thunder (1990), Rambling Rose (1991), Falling Down (1993), The Paper (1994), Sling Blade (1996), Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), Open Range (2003), Crazy Heart (2009), Get Low (2010), Jack Reacher (2012), and Widows (2018).
Less known is his role in the post-apocalyptic “The Road” and let us not forget Augustus McCrae in “Lonesome Dove”.

Charles,
I was thinking of this Robert Duvall quote after Trump won.
“I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. It smells like….
VICTORY!”
