0:00.0	Hey Michael Steel Podcast listeners, Michael Steel here with another quick take from the
0:12.5	Michael Steel Podcast. Check out what's going on right now.
0:17.0	Welcome back everybody. Michael Steel and Malcolm Nance getting down throwing down. Look,
0:23.1	I'm going to find myself an undisclosed location after this conversation. This brother is
0:29.6	keeping it real. But Malcolm, and again, just as a reminder folks, highly recommend you pick
0:35.3	up a copy of they want to kill Americans by Malcolm. This is new book. It is out now. It is a warning
