On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky answers a series of questions about her role in the media landscape. She explains why “After Party” has such a wide range of guests on, including people with opposing views to hers like Cenk Uygur and Krystal Ball. Emily explains how she views her job, why she doesn’t care about the impact her comments have on the right or left, why she’ll talk to anyone who has skepticism of elites and are willing to poke holes in the political establishment, and why she’s conflict adverse. She also answers questions about Europe’s assimilation problem, how we can learn from Europe’s mistakes and why America is so remarkable. Emily also talks about AI data centers and if Big Tech is good or bad. She explains why she gets so annoyed by powerful people who try to co-opt Christianity, why nobody is more obsessed with journalists than other journalists, why postmodern politics will always fail you, and how the ICE story could impact the midterm elections. Emily rounds out the show with some questions about her life in D.C., the most ‘redneck’ thing about her, and her favorite travel spot. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

30:00 I can't listen to this lying guest anymore
2019, Lincoln night dinner he spoke at in Spokane WA is the only time I was near this man, and what I've seen on social media since. I've been crying off and on for over a week now.
