Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell discusses voters' concerns about migrant crime and the economy on 'The Faulkner Focus.'

I met Walt and his grandson Michael at the Byers Street Bistro over wings, pizza and beer. This was in Staunton, Virginia, which I was given to understand is pronounced with a hard "A" like Stan the man.

Michael likes to talk, and he did. He let me know he had studied political science and philosophy, and I’ll hand it to him. The kid has done his reading. He’s erudite. I asked how old he was, he said 22.

"You would have loved the '90s," I told him.

"I bet," he said.

"I knew you then, in all the coffee houses," I said, adding, "I’m glad you’re still here."

Michael could never vote for former President Trump. He’s a rare voter for whom January 6th is a very big deal. But, he also told me that sometimes in his social group he can’t say the nuanced things he wants to say.

I tried to push on that, but could only get so far. He doesn’t like the word "woke," but understands it. He reads Hobbes and Kant and wants a real conversation that his leftist friends and colleagues won’t always allow when it treads on........
