## Resource

Get ready for a conversation that starts with Cannes and ends up at Bruce Springsteen, and somehow it all connects.That was today. Brian Karem — White House correspondent for Salon.com, author of seven books, and filmmaker — joined me to talk about his new documentary The First 100. He just screened it at the Cannes Film Festival to a crowd of Europeans who are, let's say, very concerned about us. We covered press freedom (the US is now ranked 64th in the world!), the absurdity of the first 100 days of Trump 2.0, why Brian has roughly zero faith in either party right now, and the Bruce Springsteen concert that somehow made both of us feel like things might be okay. At least for one night. As for me, I went kayaking on the Salt River this weekend, got a strangely artistic sunburn and capsized. And we didn't even catch a glimpse of the wild horses. But I heard that a herd crossed about five minutes down the river from where we exited. Just call me lucky, or not.
