Welcome everybody to this warning edition. We're thrilled to be able to bring you Judd Legham.

Judd is an extraordinary journalist, one of the leaders of this new era of independent journalism,

of people that can't be bought off, can't be made to bend the knee, can't be made to capitulate, and fundamentally

are on your side if you're an ordinary person out there trying to understand what's going on.

I have a political perspective that one of the issues of our time that must be dealt with

very squarely is the accumulation of power, government power, police power, tech company power,

pharmaceutical company power, the power of monopolist, the power of

conglomerates that have stifled competition that have become intrusive of privacy, have become

arrogant, have become officious.

It's an extraordinary moment that marks the end of an arrow,

the beginning of a new one at Trump's inaugural,

where he is sitting there,

seating the American oligarchs for the world to see,

even in front of his cabinet, the indiscriminate,

thoughtless damage done to public institutions without debate by the world's richest man,

Elon Musk, the disintegration of that relationship.

Judd Legum covers all of it and goes in depth substantively.

We report facts that are necessary for citizens to have in a free society.

Where there's no accountability, there can't be any oversight of government.

And in this country, government is of the people, by the people, for the people, by design. And so we see a lot of testing,

a lot of probing, a lot of assertion, and a lot of crumbling of institutions. And with Judd-Legham,

you have somebody who can help explain it. If you do not subscribe to popular information, I really urge you to do so.
