| 0:00.0 | From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle. |
| 0:08.4 | This is Tangle. |
| 0:09.0 | 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. |
| 0:27.7 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and believe it or not, today we are covering another Epstein file dump. This story is not going away. And we weren't sure if we were going to give |
| 0:40.1 | coverage, but the noise around it has just become too loud, I think, for us to ignore. And there's |
| 0:44.8 | too much there. There's a lot there that I think's worth discussing. And interestingly, |
| 0:49.8 | my opinion's changing a bit on what's been happening. So I'm excited to talk a little bit about |
| 0:53.7 | that. Before we jump in, talk a little bit about that. |
| 0:57.9 | Before we jump in, a quick heads up that tomorrow, we're doing a special edition, |
| 1:06.4 | responding to a bunch of your questions about ICE and the DHS and CBP. We have just been getting inundated. I mean, for the last few months, we've gotten question after question after question |

| 1:22.4 | rights mean? What do they grant me? All this kind of stuff that I know is complicated and not easy to necessarily |
| 1:29.1 | flesh out. So we're trying to tackle it all in a special edition tomorrow. I'm excited about it. |
| 1:35.4 | We've been talking to immigration and legal experts all week to get you guys some clear answers. |
| 1:40.7 | And I think we've done that. So keep your eyes out for that and I'll see you guys then. In the |
| 1:46.2 | meantime, I'm going to pass it over to Will for today's main story and I'll be back for my take. |
| 1:58.0 | Thanks, Isaac. All right, let's get into today's quick hits. |
| 2:02.2 | Number one, the Supreme Court rejected a request from a group of California Republicans |
| 2:06.5 | to block the state's new congressional map drawn to add five additional Democratic seats. |
| 2:12.3 | No justice is publicly dissented from the ruling, which was delivered as a one-sentence order. |
