Hi, dear listeners, this is Kate Riga. I'm here to make a quick pitch that you consider

becoming a TPM Prime member. TPM has used the member model for over a decade now, and our loyal

members are the only reason we've been able to weather the turbulence of the media landscape and

avoid the fate that has befallen so many other independent outlets. For $70, you get no paywall,

fewer ads, access to the Hive member forum, a member's only newsletter, and more. For $70, you get no paywall, fewer ads, access to the Hive member forum, a

member-only newsletter, and more. For $140 a year, you get all of that, plus no ads at all.

Without our members, there is no podcast, not to mention that I'm out of a job. Thank you so much

TPM team there. So you can meet us all. It's going to be a great time and look forward to seeing you

in nine days. So let's talk about what we have this week. And, you know, it's funny. We're going to
