| 0:04.7 | And I'm Jessica Tarlov. |
| 0:05.9 | Okay, Jess. In today's episode of Raging Moderates, we're discussing the races we're watching one week out until Election Day, why presidential contenders keep launching podcasts. |
| 0:16.2 | I love that. They've figured out podcasts. |

You are so on fire right now. I keep seeing, I keep seeing these little clips of you. And I'm, I'm fond of you and I think you're super smart. So I like the clips.
