Summary
Mitch McConnell. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) froze last week for more than 30 seconds while fielding questions from reporters about potentially running for re-election, the second time he’s had such an episode this summer. In July, the 81-year-old McConnell froze in front of reporters for roughly 20 seconds before being escorted away by his staff. McConnell's aides have blamed the episodes on dehydration and lightheadedness, respectively.

| 0:40.7 | This is Tangle. |
| 0:59.9 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking and a little bit of my take. |
| 1:12.0 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we're going to be talking about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Republican from Kentucky, some of his health episodes, some of the reactions to those health episodes, what exactly we know and what we don't. We did a little bit of a YouTube video about |
| 1:18.1 | this and Feinstein and Biden and Federman that came out earlier this week. So if you want to go |
| 1:24.3 | check that out, I encourage you to. It comes with all my emotions spilling everywhere. |
| 1:29.2 | But today we're going to give it the podcast slash newsletter treatment. |

| 1:43.4 | So we have to issue it here. |
| 1:44.8 | We referred to Bill Richardson as the former governor of Mexico, rather than the former governor |
| 1:49.7 | of New Mexico. The mystery of how the word new got deleted in our newsletter remains a mystery |
| 1:56.2 | to our entire editorial team, and as much as I'd like to, we can't really ignore the error. So this one |
| 2:02.1 | is going to count. This is the 91st correction in Tangles 216 week history and our first since |
| 2:08.2 | August 30th. We track corrections and place them at the top of the podcast and the newsletter |
| 2:12.9 | in an effort to maximize transparency with our readers and listeners. In some better news, today is also an awesome milestone. |
| 2:21.2 | Yesterday, this podcast broke one million downloads. |
