Driftglass and Blue Gal Day -- This episode almost didn't happen due to a tornado! We were a few minutes into our talk when the tornado warning sirens began to go off near the Professional Left studio, so Driftglass and Blue Gal had to run down to their basement in case a tornado hit their house. But they reconnected to the show from the safety of their basement. And you're going to hear the whole thing on today's show – and by the way, we talked about Israel and Iran, we talked about immigration, we talked about the Trump Phones, the No Kings marches over the weekend – all of it.

Buzz Burbank Day -- In case you're new to the podcast, Buzz was my Tuesday co-host from 2017 through last year's election when he decided to retire. But we've been friends for much longer than that. I was Buzz's intern at WJFK in Washington, DC back in 1993. Today we talked about Buzz's on-the-ground activism, the emerging fracas between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and we talked a lot about hope today, so get ready for a big dose of hopium, as they say.
