the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one"  is a core centrist tact these days.

“the protests don’t count if they happen in blue cities.” so, what, they aren’t americans? their voices don’t matter?

Summary from the latest episode from the podcast

     

The Jackal

On this week’s episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched the (rightfully) forgotten thriller The Jackal, a loose adaptation of The Day of the Jackal directed by Michael Caton-Jones and starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora.

In The Jackal, Willis plays the titular assassin, a feared hitman who has been hired by Russian mobsters to assassinate the director of the FBI, in retaliation for American activity in Russia. As the Jackal makes his arrangements, FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Poitier) and Russian Police Major Valentina Koslova (Venora) scour their sources for leads in a search that leads to imprisoned IRA sniper Declan Mulqueen (Gere). Mulqueen knows the Jackal and will help the FBI find him — if he gets his freedom in return. What follows is a chase across the world, as Carter, Koslova and Mulqueen race to stopthe Jackal, whose ultimate target is the First Lady of the United States.

The tagline for The Jackal was “How do you stop an assassin who has no identity?”

You can find The Jackal to rent or purchase on Apple TV or Amazon Prime.
