Katie Phang is brilliant and yes, a true patriot. Great conversation summarizing months of the b.s. happening in our country. This was like listening to chapters in a thriller-mystery novel. Wish I could fast-forward and know the ending right now. It’s gonna be good.

Thank you both for this direct, sensible and fierce conversation. Seeing both of you, with backgrounds in legacy media now freely flourishing independently is wonderful. Looking forward to more of these informative inspiring conversations.

Katie Phang is a true patriot and is one extremely smart, capable woman. I love how she speaks the truth so loudly.

Good start to my day! Well done Terry & Katie! I’m first generation too- always think about my now deceased parents who were so proud to be USA citizens. They must be horrified if they are watching how the spoils of wealth & power are trying to twist our nation now…Bring on the real patriot voices💕

All of my proud grandparents immigrated from Croatia and they, too, would be horrified. Yet, my brother, now very wealthy with a masters degree in business mgmt., is 100% Maga and Trump. It's difficult at times to remain civil and respectful when we talk.

It’s difficult for sure. First that they would even go over to the dark side. My parents were open minded democrats and made sure we were exposed to government and political events. I was very young but I remember watching the Kennedy and Nixon debate, as well as watching election results. They also made it clear regardless of political party once someone was elected they were our president. That all changed with Watergate. I always reach out to my remaining brother. I used to do this on a monthly basis but it became clear he didn’t feel a need to keep our family ties alive and was most eager to discuss MAGA. It was the only time I was glad my parent were no longer alive. I no longer reach out monthly. It’s so difficult to comprehend their flip. I’m sorry.

Thank you for sharing that with me. My dad was a blue-collar worker for Bethlehem Steel in Pittsburgh in the 50s--'60s, and it's like my brother is ashamed of his roots. I'm also glad my deceased parents can't witness his self-righteous far-right behavior. I'm sorry for you, too, and for anyone else in our shoes.

I haven’t seen the videos yet, but will. Seeing two of my favorites together is. So exciting. You two could NEVER have had this frank discussion with you at your old jobs. Never watched abc. Now I have insight into your writing and informative questions. And Katie’s enthusiasm is contagious. She is the antithesis of m Kelley. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Terry - I just watched your terrific conversation with Arick Fudali, and I almost missed seeing it because it was listed below the conversation with Katie. Suggestion -- repost it to bring it to the forefront so others don't miss it.

Thank you Terry for this direct and informative article and interviews with attorney Fudali and Katie Phang. Both were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in understanding the issues. It’s imperative that the full Epstein files be released, the perpetrators are held accountable for their egregious actions towards these young girls/women. There are many important people that would be ruined if the files became public, and therefore it is possible that Epstein didn’t commit suicide as reported. Unfortunately, victims will not be able to get complete closure until the perpetrators are identified, convicted, jailed, and the “wondering if” has been identified and completed for this crime to be over.

Wow! Great conversation with Katie! She is fantastic, and the two of you together were in sync. The subject matter is awful, but it is important that the truth comes out and anyone involved pays a price for their part.

To be honest, I didn’t know Katie before this, but now I am going to follow her. I love her story and her background and her wealth of knowledge. She is obviously intelligent but also cares deeply and is funny too. Thanks for sharing her with those of us who were not in the know, haha!

“Lying Frump”

He lies when he pees,

He lies eating cheese,

He lies in the morning,

He lies in the breeze!

He lies in December,

He lies in July,

He lies on the ground,

And he lies to the sky!

He lies when he’s chewing,

He lies when he’s tweeting,

He lies when he’s losing,

He lies when he’s beating!

He lies for attention,

He lies for applause,

He lies just because—

Well, he lies just because!

He lies when he’s golfing,

He lies when he’s still,

He lies when he’s scheming,

And always will.

He lies when he whispers,

He lies when he shouts,

He lies so much

That the truth tapped out!

Articulate, knowledgeable, careful listeners, important personal stories…that’s what this conversation with Terry and Katie provides. If getting the latest up to the moment news as of Nov 14 interests you, listen up. I’m a $ subscriber to each and commend them wholeheartedly.

Wow, what a smart conversation! Katie Phang is clearly a force to be reckoned with and brilliant! I’m immediately going to follow her on Substack!

I only wish I could follow all of your output in real-time, Terry, but work and life beckon. So be it - I catch up when I can!
