Hello, you're listening to a preview of a premium episode of Blocked Reported. In this episode,

Katie and I talked to Richard Hanania, the notorious, or once notorious Richard Hanania, we talked

to him about everything, about how he was at one point racist, how he became less racist,

and about the Republicans and Democrats, MAGAism.

He just has a very interesting viewpoint on a lot of this stuff.

So if you want to hear the whole interview, go to blocktermported.org and become a premium

subscriber.

Otherwise, you will be cruelly cut off.

Thanks and hope you enjoy the preview.

We're back, as promised. We are here with Richard Tanania for a primo-only episode. On the last three episode, Richard led us through the extremely bizarre and

possibly schizophrenic story of internet character slash Turkish restaurant technologist Charles C. Chuck Johnson, and he has come back

today to get a little more personal. Richard, thanks for coming back. We've got a lot to cover today,

but before we get to that, after our free episode came out, you actually heard from Chuck Johnson,

right? Yeah, Chuck reached out. I mean, he knew this was coming because I asked him for comment

beforehand, and we talked about

what he was sending me beforehand.

And basically, yeah, the one picture he says to me, he says to me a picture of himself

with a woman.

They're both wearing robes.

She's just proving that he does, in fact, have a girlfriend and that she speaks multiple

languages, as he said on the show.

Yeah, well, she does look sort of foreign, so it doesn't make sense. Or Russian brides usually are. There's, yeah, there's no context. He's just giving it to me. He says, come to D.C. and meet my presidential team, old boy. We've been waiting for you. And then he goes, love the podcast, old boy. He really likes, he really likes that term. Interesting. He asked me for a copy. I told him, you know, it's, it's going to be out. It's going to be on paywalled. And then he says, Richard, it's time. I don't want, I don't, I didn't want to make you president of Palestine. I think we both know that you need to go back. I recognize, I recognize your right to return and also your right to party.
