Hi, I'm Joe Wiley. And I'm Soie Ball. And we're here to tell you about a brand new podcast, Digit.

0:06.3

Digit is all about the things that Joe and I love. From the kids to the parents and all the stuff in between.

0:13.5

There's a lot going on when you get to this age. Listen wherever you get your podcasts and watch every episode on Spotify. Dig it. Every week. Every week.

0:23.6

For the rest of time. Yes. Okay. Good.

0:30.3

And now for a moment of clarity.

0:35.7

I'm quite frankly sick and tired of all the folks out there who pretend that this is somehow, you know, some great, you know, oh my God, you know, the world, look, the reality of his Donald Trump wants to take the DOJ, the FBI, the military, and make them all a part of his own personal little cadre of police

as we move into the fall, we get set up for the November elections next year,

1:41.6

1:48.2

and the walls of a lot of people with big titles and fancy cars that the American people themselves

1:54.7

will say, you know what, we've just had enough of this BS. It is time to get our house in order,

2:03.9

to focus on our families, our jobs, and our communities and move the country forward as opposed to wallowing in the funk of Donald Trump's brain.

2:10.8

Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight, Monday through Friday at 7 Eastern on MSNBC.
