It's Monday, December 18th, 2023. A big announcement from yours truly. This defamation case seems a little

excessive and mainstreaming genocidal language next on the AM update.

Before we begin today's episode, three items, I just want to let you know for the next couple of weeks around the holidays.

I will indeed be here on the AM update, just likely not every day.

This week, I'll be here every morning but Wednesday and Friday.

And then the week of Christmas, I'll try to get in a couple of episodes and then back to daily episodes on January the 2nd. Starting right now, I've set up a new Twitter account dedicated to

the AM update, and that's where I'll be promoting the podcast primarily from here on out. Throughout the

day also, I'll try to have very brief thoughts on breaking news as it happens. You can follow

that account on Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it. At real AM update. Again, that's all one

word. At real AM update on Twitter. And finally, a big announcement for the AM update. Something I've

heard a lot of feedback on is the advertising and sometimes the sheer number of ads on the AM update.

I understand it's annoying to hear a Planned Parenthood or a COVID jab or a rainbow jihad-tinged

ad on the podcast while you're trying to listen to me talk about whatever nonsense is going on

in the world on any given day. The AM update is primarily a labor of love, just a side project for me, but it does take my time and effort.

And it's nice to be able to recoup some of the money I spend to host this podcast and have a little left over to justify the time and effort I expend to produce the show.

Advertising helps me do that.

However, for those of you who want to say S Sianara to those ads, or just want to say

thank you for this podcast, starting in the new year, if you're using Apple Podcasts to listen

to this podcast, which the vast majority of you do, you'll now have the option to subscribe to the

AM Update, ad free, for $5 a month. But you won't just get the ad-free AM update experience because I'm excited to announce that starting

in the new year, I'm starting a new half-hour weekend show with my wife, Bella.

Bella has been on the AM update a few times and I've gotten rave reviews and rightfully so.
