Hey, everyone, it's Reed. Before I get started today, I need you to rate this podcast five stars,

whether or not you're on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you're consuming this, I need you to rate

the home front five stars. If you need to hit pause and do it now, go ahead and do it now.

podcast about Jeffrey Epstein or Donald Trump. There are plenty of excellent

writers and reporters who are doing yeoman work on this story and have been in some cases

people in all, are or were living lives that would be at home with Caligula. As they go about
