#75 Tom Joseph: The Real Gatekeepers Of American Primary Elections

All right.

Here we go.

Tom,

how are you doing today? I'm doing great.

Thanks for having me on your show.

Sure.

I'm excited.

I'm excited to have the conversation.

and excited to kind of dive into what you've been cooking up the past few years.

And is that we were just speaking, you know, we really don't do anything or cover any kind of political topics over at Going Direct.

But when Chauncey and your team reached out and kind of learned what you guys are doing, it is such a deep values alignment with the Going Direct economy.

I thought it'd be fun to really dig into it.

And I think also I'm just a sucker for kind of entrepreneurial minded folks that have new ideas and trying to change the status quo.

And so as much as we can kind of support that on things that just like make common sense, I'm all for it.

Great.

Thanks.

Great.

Okay.

I don't know how long this has been.

Maybe like 10 years ago.

I don't even know.

Several years ago.

Probably close to a decade ago.

I came across a book written by Jane Meyer, Dark Money.

This is the first time I really followed what Citizens United did.
