Dan Rather would be amazing. He's continued to evolve well into his 8th decade, kind of like George!

Personally, Iโ€™d like new content that I havenโ€™t seen elsewhere already from you George. Iโ€™d love to hear from 40 under 40 of change makers and interuptors matched in a talk with the change makers of the 60โ€™s, 70โ€™s and 80โ€™s

Steve Schmidt. As a former Republican campaign advisor, he can offer insights into what goes on with the other side. Valuable information, and a truly articulate Never Trumper. Oh, and may the 4th of July be a celebration of life and liberty for you and yours, Mr. Takai!

Elie Mystal, Brian Klass, and Dahlia Lithwick have all written extensively about this issue. Elie is also starting/started a podcast focused solely on SCOTUS.

I would like to see the identity of the Evangelicals who have been responsible for the rise of the influence of the sect, the reasons why and the methodology used.

Also the historic and current place in their society of women

Of more interest to me would be the Republican strategy for exploiting evangelicals toward their true goal of minority power in support of the oligarchs.

Dan Froomkin. What can be done about the poor quality of journalism today, and how we can read between the lines of their โ€œwhataboutism โ€œ.
