Welcome back to Inside the Hive. I'm Emily being faxed and I'm here with one of my favorite

people to talk to about everything but particularly what we're going to talk to today. Molly

0:13.2

Jungfast is back with us again today. Love you, Molly. Thank you for having me, Emily.

0:18.3

Okay. I could talk to you about anything for days, hours, years. But the only thing

0:25.1

that I want to talk about and I think the only political story worth talking about right

0:28.8

now really is George Santos. And thankfully, you want to talk about this as much as I do.
