Join Sarah, Declan, Esther, and Andrew for this week’s Dispatch Live as they discuss recent news about changes to the immigration system, the riots in Brazil, and the latest from the House GOP chaos. What is President Biden doing at the border? What happened in Brazil? Did Kevin McCarthy give away the farm to become speaker of the House? Plus, as always, there will be plenty of time for the group to take questions from members.

Tune in on January 10 at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube. Come with your questions, grab a drink (or a few), and settle in for a meaningful conversation. 

Dispatch Live recordings will also be available as a members-only podcast on select platforms. We heard from many of you requesting audio recordings of Dispatch Live and we’re excited to provide this feature to members. See below for information on how to access the podcast. 

Q&A: We want to hear from you during the show. To ask questions of our panelists and interact with other members you can use the YouTube Live chat feature or simply comment on this post during the broadcast.

    W.T.F. ? That muppets discussion was the most outrageous thing I've ever heard on this platform. That was Steve Hayesesk in pop cultural knowledge. My entire childhood is outraged! Points on the slightly obscure pick of Dr. Teeth from Andrew. At your next Dispatch get-together, you need to arrange a screening of either The Muppet Movie, or The Great Muppet Caper. Or just take a half hour or so and watch an episode of The Muppet Show series. I recommend the John Denver episode.

    In the category of not (exactly) worth your time…..

    All of the puppet-y characters on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show are Muppets. Sesame Street Muppets are under the CTW (Children’s Television Workshop) umbrella, and The Muppet Show Muppets were under the Jim Henson Productions umbrella, now owned by Disney. As a rule, Kermit was the only one who travelled between those two worlds.

    I worked for Jim Henson Productions in the 90s, so I know of what I speak.

    I can't believe none of you knows that Gonzo the Great is best Muppet. It's right there in his name.
    Declan was right though, most of the Sesame Street characters who aren't human are Muppets. Big Bird, Snuffleupagus, and Cookie Monster aren't Muppets.

    When I add the appointment to Outlook, it comes in two hours late (10 pm Central for me). This isn't the first time ... something is wrong with the setup still?

      Sorry, Jefferey. A mistake on our part.

    What are Steve's thoughts on the road to the NFC North title now running through Detroit? And, are the Packers's kneecaps okay right now?

    (Wait, why isn't Steve going to be in this one? Cowardice? :-D )
