For the Fourth of July, I reached out to an old friend, Daniel Ellsberg, to experiment with recording little conversations for you about big topics. Production quality will be a bit rough around the edges until I get the hang of it, but I hope you enjoy it.
The wonderful music was provided by the talented Jamie Saft (Twitter: @jamiesaft). My deepest thanks, friend.
Thanks Daniel for changing his life, and thanks Ed for changing mine.
Thank you both for your bravery and integrity. It's wonderful that modern technology lets you have the opportunity to continue to share so much more of your ideas and thinking with the public. One of the comments that struck me most was Ed saying at a younger age he knew there was political corruption but he didn't believe the whole of government would be lying to the public. Therein lies so much of our problems. I's why we have two parties to pretend each side has an adversary, when in fact it's the corrupt establishment machine against the people. Frank Church and Otis Pike we need the likes of you in Congress again!
