Hello, friend. Thank you as always for being here. It really does mean the world to me that

you're here once again listening to The Telly Show, what I have lined up for this week

and airy, lighthearted conversation about political corruption, all joking aside. I love

talking about this kind of stuff. I hope you like it too. I love talking about the issues

of the day, not the politics of the day, the issues, the things that are happening that

might actually affect our lives, not talking about it in a right, left, red, blue kind

of way, not talking about the dumb, hot, button issues, the Omicron variance. Am I even

saying that right? Is that where we are with Coronavirus now? We just have variants that

sound like Transformers. Enjoy the episode that's about to start with Sarah Chase, but before

I get into it, a quick reminder, patreon.com slash Mike Telly. I've been doing my Patreon

stuff for a year now, and I've been averaging two, three pots per week, and that means

to do the math. There is over 100 Patreon-exclusive podcasts waiting to be enjoyed at patreon.com slash

Mike Telly. Patreon.com slash Mike Telly. Okay, you ready to start this show?

You're supposed to eat me. It's a really funny dude. I forgot his last thing, but I've

seen him before. He's really funny. I'll give it up for Mike Telly.

Coming to you live on tape from an above ground basement in rapidly gentrifying Culver City

of Jason, California, boasting a partially obstructed view of the world-famous Hollywood

design. This is the Telly Show. I am your host Mike Telly. Joining me today, a guest with

a career far too nuanced and varied to neatly summarize, for starters, a reporter, a former

special advisor to be joint chiefs of staff, and the author of several books, including

On Corruption in America. And what is at stake now available in paperback? Hello and welcome,

Sarah Chase. Thank you so much for having me, Mike.
