Emoji moment from Sadie, who writes I'm not crying. You're crying. This is what I said during my first appointment with my physician at Mochi because I didn't have to convince him I needed a GLP one. He understood and I felt supported, not judged. I came for the weight loss and stayed for the empathy. Thanks, Sadie. I'm Mayra Amit, founder of Mochi Health.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening and welcome to the Tangle Podcast, a place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. I'm your host Isaac Saul, and on today's episode we're going to be talking about the Nobel Peace Prize who it was awarded to, the Trump of it all. And some really interesting commentary about this year's recipient, which is maybe a little bit more controversial of a story than people think or know. Interestingly today also we have another take, another my take from somebody who is not me. We're going to be doing more of this in the future. I want to include more voices from our team and also maybe even bring in people from outside tango. I mean, I have lots of ideas about how to do this and keep the podcast and the newsletter really interesting, but you know, I don't think it should be and I don't want it to just be the Isaac show. I'll obviously keep writing and editing and stay really involved, of course, but I want to feature more members of my team and the staff. So Will said that he had some strong feelings he wanted to share and I was like, you know what, I'll see the floor. Even though I didn't do the take yesterday, I thought it'd be fun to let Will tackle this one. So he's going to be on the mic today for my take and I'll be answering your questions in our your questions answered section. Before we jump in though, I do have something to just say here. Up Top. Now more than ever, we need your support. Trust in media is at an all time low. News outlets across the country are facing dire cuts or they're being bought up by billionaire owners with their own agendas. In an era where the media is increasingly fragmented and partisan, we're trying to do something different. We're trying to build a big tent media organization, something for everyone regardless of their political backgrounds. And right now we need your support more than we ever have. There are headwinds all across the media space. We're seeing our own growth, sort of be less consistent than it used to be in the past. And so I have two requests for you that I'm just I try to do this rarely in the podcast or as rare as we can, but we mostly make our money off of memberships. I know there is an ad supporter podcast and a not ad supported podcast, but really 85% of our revenue comes from membership. So if you have been enjoying this show and you haven't yet, please become a member. You can go to retangle.com, click on the membership button or go to readtangle.com membership. There will be a link in the episode description too and it will take you all of two minutes. If you're on the podcast and you get the podcast membership or the bundle, it'll unlock ad free podcasts which I know many of you want, but also your subscription which is relatively cheap. You know, four and a half five dollars a month. It directly supports everything that we work on here and it is the thing that keeps the lights on and allows the team to grow and also keeps our independence. It makes it so we're not reliant on advertising in all of our products, which or investors, which I really like. So I'm asking you to do that if you already are a subscriber, which I know many of you are. So thank you to those of you who are the easiest thing you can do is just share it. We're just like, we need to spread the word about what we do every day. I have somebody in my personal life who's like, oh, I haven't signed up for the newsletter. I don't listen to the podcast yet. I'm just like, this is my life, man. You should be listening. But seriously, there's so many people who have no idea that tangle even exists. Still, despite how big we've gotten, from my perspective, we're still a small fish in a big sea, and we need to raise awareness about the work we're doing. So think of a couple friends who, you know, are vaguely interested in politics or even if they aren't, and they just want to be better informed, but they hate the news. They like we are for them. And if they're political junkies who are in their own partisan bubble, we're also for them. We're for everyone. Like I said, Big ten. So if you're a subscriber and you just haven't shared it in a while, please send the podcast or the newsletter or our website to a few friends, a group chat, a work email, chain, Slack, whatever it is, two minutes to do it. It's really, really helpful for us and we need it right now. So I'd be appreciative. All right, with that, I'm gonna send it over to John for today's main story, and I'll be back for your questions answered after Will does the take today.
