Two weeks after Donald Trump won the 2024 election in anything but a nail-biter, some of the people packed into a VIP room at New York City's Comedy Cellar this Tuesday night might have had reason to feel a little bit smug.
It was the first on-stage performance of Mark Halperin's The Morning Meeting (though this one was subtitled "After Dark"), a weekday news show that airs live on YouTube and on Halperin's new 2Way platform, where he and his cohosts—former White House Communications Director Sean Spicer and Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine—provide an interactive experience "devoted to unique conversations, unbiased discourse, and open debate." Halperin opens each time with the watchwords, "Peace, love and understanding."
