| 0:00.0 | We have a major predator problem at the highest levels of our government. |
| 0:04.1 | This is far bigger than one name. |
| 0:06.2 | This is clearly a culture in Washington where men on both sides of the aisle are abusing their |
| 0:11.7 | staffers, their interns, their colleagues, that knowledge of this behavior is well known, |
| 0:16.9 | that it's used now we're hearing as blackmail by your own party or oppo research by your |
| 0:21.9 | opponents. And I think we have to be like, okay, so what are we doing here? |
| 0:38.8 | Well, if you're a woman in America right now... Hello and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it. |
