I'm Magna Chakrabardi and this is the Jackpot where on Point News analyst Jackbeati helps

us connect history, literature and politics in a way that brings his unique clarity

to the world we live in now.

And by the way, for all of you who are wondering, where was the jackpot yesterday? The pod is now appearing in your feed on

Saturdays it's our new regular day for the jackpot so hello there jack

hello meagda happy Saturday I should say even though we are actually recording this on a Wednesday, which is important

to note for reasons which I will explain later.

Oh, and by the way, Jack, I don't, I'm not sure if you know this, but there was no, since there was no

jackpot last week, we received a lot of very concerned messages from listeners who were wondering,

where did Jack go?

Where's the jackpot?

So your fans missed you even for one episode.

And I just want to let them know, like,

take some deep breaths.

It's okay. but here we are

back in the saddle both Jack and I and it's episode 40 so what's your headline Jack?

Naked to mine enemies.

Mm, okay, so who is the one who is dis-ab-yed, if I could mangle the French leg?

Well, in the original, it's Cardinal Woolsey in Shakespeare's Henry the 8th.

He said, had I but served my God with half the zeal, I served my king, he would not in

mine age have left me naked to mine enemies.

Well, today's Colonel Wolsey is Joe Biden.
