GA Senate postmortem & electoral certification challenges w/ Rolling Stone's Andy Kroll and Ricochet.com's Jon Gabriel. Spiked Online's Brendan O'Neill on the UK's "act as if you have COVID" lockdown. That's the last time Romney flies commercial. No charges against Jacob Blake? Robert Henderson on how we've gone from the Overton Window to the Overton Dartboard. The "what's the point" election fatigue is understandable but it's not a defense to giving up on free & fair elections or worse. To borrow from C.S. Lewis, you find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. ("Mere Christianity") Jenni White's perspective is representative of those who showed up in DC today; those who committed acts of violence were not representative.

GA runoff analysis is so comical. It's a referendum on Trump/Nov. 3 outcome pure and simple. Ossoff and Warnock could be Jane and John Doe. Biden who? Up or down on Trump and what happened on 11/3. Period. Everything else is mindless cant from off-the-shelf cable TV dum-dums. W/ RealClearPolitics.com's Susan Crabtree. GA SOS Brad Raffensperger positions himself as the truth-teller above the fray while lying about releasing the recording of his call with Trump. American Federation of Children's John Schillling on spending scholarship $$ before Biden's official. U.S. cool now cringe w/ Spectator's Will Lloyd. A-woman a flippant pander or a tell? W/ Institute for Religion & Democracy's Mark Tooley. Kamala's fabulism & plagiarism...clearly the right choice of running mate for Biden, and George Will is too polarizing for Princeton?

Media's prank over GA call+Cruz v. Cotton on 1/6 objections. Will GA really elect the soy boy and/or Rev. Pro-Choice, the anti-Semite? W/ Rabbi Dov Fischer. Being a lockdowner means never having to say you're sorry w/ AIER.org's Philip Magness. Rep. Satan Sandwich translates Latin into identitarian. Anderson Cooper is Joaquin Phoenix as Heath Ledger in "The NYE Joker", Coming Cuomo COVID camps? Clapton/Van Morrison freedom anthem.

The world is a complicated place. You need someone to expose the political fakers, fixers and takers, and cut through the mindless chatter and misdirection to make sense of it all. That person is Dan Proft and this is the Dan Proft Show.
Politicians take positions. Proft makes arguments. He's studied the western canons. He's read the books. He's seen every episode of "The Simpsons." From DesCartes to Cartman, Willy Loman to Groundskeeper Willie, he's the Firing Pin to William F. Buckley's "Firing Line" here to spark robust dialogue and see who can employ the most arcane (pop) cultural and artistic references to support their points of view.
Entrepreneur, editorial contributor to the Chicago Tribune, former Republican candidate for Illinois Governor, and morning drive radio talk show host with AM 560 The Answer in Chicago (560TheAnswer.com). He speaks truth to his audience with popular political commentary and provocative interviews with deep thinkers and solutionists.
