| 1:00.0 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place where you get news from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of Isaac's take. |
| 1:11.4 | I am your host, John Law. I am filling in again today for Isaac. His schedule while here in L.A. got filled up pretty quick, so this allowed me another opportunity to get to host, which I'm pretty excited about. On today's episode, we're going to be talking about Rupert Murdoch, who |
| 1:16.2 | recently announced that he would be stepping down from his role as chairman of Foxcorp and News Corp. |
