• 1:09:45Russ Biggers argued that H.W. Bush's presidency gave the deep state its closest access to power, with one of their own operators in the Oval Office.

• 1:10:33Bush was a skilled operator who maneuvered himself into position, but he couldn't sell his agenda the way a politician needs to.
• 1:10:58Planning to book Slapjack and other guests for upcoming episodes, including potential interviews about taxes and politics.
• 1:11:30Tim is trying to get Seymour Hersh on the show, unsure whether the journalist still lives in America or stays mostly in Paris.
• 1:11:50Attempted to book Nick Bostrom for a simulation theory episode but decided the topic was too lofty for the show.
