| 0:00.0 | This summer on Planet Money Summer School, we're learning about political economy. |
| 0:04.2 | We're getting into the nitty-gritty of what government does with things like trade, taxes, immigration, and health care. |
| 0:10.4 | So politics and economics, which are taught separately, they shouldn't be separated at all. |
| 0:14.2 | I think you have to understand one to really appreciate the other. |
| 0:16.9 | So what is the right amount of government in our lives? |
| 0:19.6 | Tune into Planet Money Summer School from NPR. |

| 1:12.3 | But she's never seen a game at City Field because we're basically away people now because we live in D.C. |
| 1:17.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:17.8 | And we may go at some point. |
| 1:20.3 | So, you know, good luck to the Angels as well because I feel like the Angels similarly have like in the shadows thing to that other LA team. You mean my team? Like we have in the shadows thing to that other LA team. |
