| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the spike podcast I'm Fraser Myers and back with me this week as ever we have spikes editor Tom Slater. |
| 0:06.5 | Hello and I'm delighted to welcome an extra special guest presenter of geev News's free speech Nation and author of the New Puritans, Andrew Doyle. |
| 0:14.8 | Hello. Coming up on today's show, The Indictment of Donald Trump, |
| 0:19.3 | the grooming gang scandal, and the meaning of woke. So Donald Trump has been arrested, indicted this week, the first US president or former president to face any kind of |
| 0:35.7 | criminal charges. |

| 1:40.9 | 35 pieces because of the fact that it all centers around |
