| 0:25.0 | Welcome to The Savage Nation Podcast. On today's edition, we are speaking with Adam |
| 0:31.1 | Bello, onto himself a very famous editor. But what is interesting to me is how it was |
| 0:39.2 | like growing up Bello. His father was Saul Bello, a giant in English literature, who |

| 1:37.8 | they're illiterate, that they live on social media. They are so brainwashed, they wouldn't |
| 1:42.4 | know what good literature is. His novels include The Adventures of Oggi March, Henderson |
