My purpose in doing the Schwartzreport podcast is to produce an entirely fact-based presentation in favor of the earth, the interconnectedness and interdependence of all life, democracy, equality for all, liberty, and things that are compassionate life-affirming and fostering of wellbeing. I am not interested in political partisanship except anthropologically. Our country now stands at a crossroads, indeed, the world stands at a crossroads where those values are very much at risk and it is up to each of us who care about wellbeing to do what we can to defend those principles.
