I am enjoying this new podcast from David Frum very much. Perhaps in other times I would feel more keenly the disagreements I might have with Mr. Frum, but in these time I’m just grateful for his dedication of his voice and intellect to supporting what American virtues we can still find. I recommended this to my mother and she is enjoying it too. Thank you, David.
