| 0:20.0 | Welcome to PodSafe America. I'm John Favreau. Dan has timed his vacation perfectly to this |
| 0:26.6 | slow news week, so I'm very lucky to be joined by Medi Hassen, host of the Medi Hathen show on MSNBC and Peacock. |
| 0:33.6 | Medi, welcome back. John, thanks for having me back. I just finished taping my own show. I'm here in the DC Bureau. |
| 0:38.8 | Excited to be with you. Excited to have you. We have a big show today. In a first for us, the Republican |
| 0:46.0 | primary comes to PodSafe America. John Love It and Chris Christie went into a New York City podcast |

| 1:41.7 | justice department interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden, a claim that the Trump appointed |
| 1:47.2 | U.S. Attorney in charge of the investigation has repeatedly denied and in fact announced in court |
| 1:52.8 | yesterday that he may bring additional charges against Biden's son. Naturally, this led to the |
| 1:58.4 | Speaker of the House floating an impeachment inquiry on Sean Hannity's show. Let's listen. |
| 2:02.9 | If you're sitting in our position today, we would know none of this if Republicans have not taken |
| 2:08.6 | the majority. We've only followed where the information has taken us. But Hannity is just |
