0:00.0 | Hello everybody welcome back to Rev Left Radio. So for today's episode I just |
0:04.8 | wanted to hop on here and do a sort of solo breakdown of just some major events |
0:08.9 | going on. I have a lot of thoughts in my head I'm sure many of you do. |
0:13.5 | We see fires popping up as it were all around the world. |

1:49.0 | and they get closer to their own death. |
1:51.0 | For some of them, there is a sort of psychological to their own death. |
