0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Americano podcast, a series of discussions about American politics and the Trump presidency. |
0:14.6 | I would like to remind you all that we have just launched our print edition, and I'd like to encourage you all to subscribe. |
0:21.9 | You can do that by going to www.spectator.us forward slash subscribe. |
0:28.4 | And there you can take advantage of our various offers. |
0:32.4 | I'm joined today by Chadwick Moore, who is a columnist for Spectator USA, |
0:39.7 | and we're going to be asking, who are the Groypers and what do they want? Chadwick, am I pronouncing Groyper's right, first of all? |
