Summary
The Ukraine war. On Saturday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned that there could be bad news coming out of Ukraine in the coming weeks, as fears of a stalemate with Russia grow. The comments come at a time when Congress is increasingly divided about whether to continue funding Ukraine's war effort, with Senate Republicans proposing any Ukraine funding be tied to an overhaul of the U.S. immigration system.

| 0:44.8 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking and a little bit of my take. I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and today is Wednesday, December 6th. This is going to be a tough one today. We're going to do an update on what's going on in Ukraine. |
| 1:12.8 | I know, you know, there's just a lot of war in the news right now. |
| 1:17.5 | And it's a bit depressing. |
| 1:20.0 | It sucks, frankly. |
| 1:21.6 | But you know what? |

| 1:34.3 | November 14th, we had an error. I missed this actually. Our newsletter and our podcast had a |
| 1:41.7 | Q&A with a reader in which we referred to Representative Dean Phillips as a one-term |
| 1:46.2 | member of Congress. He's in the middle of his third term right now. I think they're happened |
| 1:52.3 | because we were comparing him to Obama's experience as a one-term senator and then just |
| 1:58.3 | accidentally called Phillips a one-term representative. Nobody caught it, |
| 2:02.1 | I guess, which sucks. And the correction was not found immediately. Obviously, it's been almost a |
| 2:06.8 | month since then, but we were going through some reader email feedback and we saw it. Somebody |
| 2:12.0 | caught it and rode in and we did not see it until now. So, wanted to make note of that. |
