He drinks tea all day, apparently lots and lots of tea and leaves the bag in. Oh, wow. So its industrial strength. Keir starmer apparently drinks coffee and then maybe a bit of tea later on in the day. Isnt a snacker, though. Apparently no sweet tooth, just the occasional bag of crisps. So what did they eat in the height of it all . In the middle of the day . I mean, obviously, these people eat something, maybe anything they can get. I mean, keir starmer admitted recently, actually, even though hes a vegetarian, hed had a box of chicken at some point at the end of a long day. Well, whatever theyre eating, we were wrong on this cast, this podcast, but the date i was told to go long, you had various dates, you had a close race. You were the closest.

Bringing it up . But like maybe you trust me enough to stick with me through it. Tonight is one of those nights. I fully concede this is going to start off seeming very, very much out of nowhere. But i swear, it is on the days news and if you bear with me for just a second, i will make it make sense. Okay. One of those nights. Here we go. Ready . Meet this guy.

Made the front page of the new york times, for example. But the bigger scandal about him was that he got a whole bunch of members of congress to participate in this Propaganda Thing that hitler was paying him to do. Members of congress were involved with him, lots of them. Then he was indicted a seco
With him realized that what they had done with him working with o convicted nazi agent, they realized what they had done wita him was probably going to come out at that trial and that would be a bad look, so they decided to take action. One particularly powerful senator who was implicated in p this thing went to the attorneyi general and basically threatened the Attorney General that he would tie the doj up in knots, he would go after the Attorney General himself unless the Attorney General fired the prosecutor who was leading this case. And the senator had kind of a hook for doing this. The prosecutor he wanted fired had just been criticized by the court because when he was n prosecuting that nazi agent, th court said he spoke with basically too much passion, witk too much emotion about that defendant in front of the jury. So the prosecutor had been criticized in court. That was the hook they used for going after him. And you know, thats not exactly a Capital Offense as a prosecutor.
