Summary
Coming up on todays episode of Suspension of the Rules: Trump gets revenge on the Indiana GOP, we talk about Kmele and billionaires and CNN with Abby Phillip, and then a long conversation about ChatGPT's fact checking of Isaac's article on Friday which was titled "The everything, everywhere, all at once corruption story". Last but not least, a very good grievance section where Kmele actually knocks it out of the park. It's a very good one!
Corruption in the Trump administration?
“After reviewing the evidence of the first 15 months of President Trump’s second term, I believe the president is profiting off the office and making foreign policy decisions based on business interests to a level we’ve never seen or even conceived of before, and apparently nothing is being done to stop it.”
Gold phones, Qatari planes, Syrian golf courses, cryptocurrency schemes, ballroom donations. Market moves, board seats, lawsuits dropped, lawsuits threatened. Pardons, prosecutions, profits, profits, profits… This past Friday, Executive Editor Isaac Saul waded through all of it in a thorough exploration of the charges of corruption against President Donald Trump.
In case you missed it, you can read the piece here. We’ve also decided to make this Friday edition open to everyone, so please share it with anyone you think would be interested!

| 0:00.0 | Coming up, Trump gets revenge on the Indiana GOP. |
| 0:04.3 | We talk about Camille and billionaires and CNN with Abby Phillip, |
| 0:10.6 | and then a long conversation about ChatGPT's fact check of my article from Friday. |
| 0:18.2 | It's a very good episode. |
| 0:19.5 | Hope you guys enjoy it. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Suspension of the Rules |
| 0:38.4 | podcast, a place where we discussed the week's happenings in the United States politics |
| 0:44.1 | with, I hope, level heads and some reason and nuance. Camille Foster has glasses, so that's |
| 0:50.3 | the breaking news on our side. I do. I'm not wearing them now. |
| 1:11.4 | Wait, what do we do? I feel like we almost immediately zagged. You try out a new catchphrase. And then it's just, oh, also, this guy's got glasses. What a nerd. Camer took these glasses off before my intro. They're not even on. Put your glasses back on, man. How are you going to do a show without wearing them? |
| 1:12.6 | They're for reading. |
| 1:16.5 | Do you want to talk a little bit about how you made this choice for all of our podcast listeners who won't be able to see your face and we'll just be listening to... |
| 1:19.9 | I would say Camille's look, it's kind of like a sweet sort of 80 style. |
| 1:26.3 | They're like a little oversized kind of. There's a whole vibe |
| 1:30.0 | going on here. Yeah. You didn't go just traditional dorky glasses like I have. You had some player. |
| 1:36.2 | I did not. Yeah. Well, apparently I am both near and far-sided. And this has been a problem for a while. |
| 1:42.0 | I was not completely aware of it. I knew I was sort of squinting. I would complain occasionally about things being hard to read, and my wife insisted just go to the doctor and get checked out. And I did discover that I no longer have 20-20 vision, which I've had most of my life. And I bought two pairs of glasses. And I bought these primarily because the woman at the store, she was just so nice. |
| 2:02.5 | And she kept saying, you can totally pull that off. So I hope I am in fact pulling it off right now. |
| 2:08.4 | But I only need these to read. I do expect that I may change the lenses to the progressive ones because I need both things. |
| 2:16.8 | So we'll see. I'm still getting used to it, still having headaches, and I don't know. We're going to do the podcast in reverse this week, I guess. We're going to start with the U.S. grievance about needing glasses for the first time. No, this is good. Why is my eyesight? We're really trying to promote our YouTube channel. |
| 2:34.8 | And now you know if you want to see whether Camille can pull the glasses off or not, |
| 2:38.3 | you have to go to our YouTube channel to find out, TAML News on YouTube. |
| 2:42.5 | That's the quickest way. |
