So it's Friday, which means that this is in the thick, which is a podcast about politics, race and culture from a POC perspective.

I'm Marilla no Hosa.

And I'm Julio Rico-Lova-Della.

Today we're going to try to catch up on this ridiculous amount of news, and then we're going to do this really cool thing which is respond to our readers who yes

They were throwing some shade on us hulio and it's all good. It's all good. Mostly on me

But well, you know because you deserve it.

But okay.

All right, so Julio, yeah.

I still can't get over the fact that actually everyone in the mainstream media is talking about the fact that a porn star is suing the president,

actively right now, and that the president is actively, and his team are actively trying to silence her.

And then the last thing I heard before I left the house was that she was going to be on 60 minutes,

so I'm like, okay, well that's an interesting turn but but it's not normal

Hulio it's not normal no like I'm literally turning off my television when my kids are in the

house now because I'm I'm not ready to go there So there is some news where we're recording this early afternoon on Friday.

Basically there's a report in NBC news that Michael Cohen, who's Trump's personal lawyer, used his Trump organization email to do the payments for Stormy Daniels,

and then there raises questions about the campaign because the Trump organization at the time was was

helping with the presidential campaign. Also Julio, yeah. I'm also very

concerned about the fact that I have an image of this president

all alone in the White House with no one except for General Kelly.

It's like the Beatles song.

He's a real no one. Like Mr lonely, I'm Mr lonely.

Like that's what's going through my head now.
