0:44.8 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. |
1:00.0 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we're going to be talking about Medicare drug price negotiations, a little bit of wonky policy stuff, but we're going to try to break it down. Make it interesting. Make sure you understand exactly what is going on. Before we jump in, though, a quick heads up. We are going to be off on Labor Day.

2:20.0 | Number three, Hurricane and Dalia moved through Florida's northern Gulf Coast yesterday, making |
2:24.0 | landfall as a category three storm. It hit the sparsely populated Big Ben region and drove significant |
2:29.9 | storm surge into cities in the south. Number four, the Department of Health and Human Services recommended that the DEA reclassify |
2:37.5 | marijuana as a lower risk-controlled substance, a first step in a shift in federal policy. |
2:43.7 | And number five, a fourth detainee at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta died this month, |
