Summary

A bitesize bonus in which Jack chats with Amanda Moore - journalist and former undercover infiltrator of MAGA! - about the recent Rage Against the War Machine rally... actually a rally in support of Putin and Russian imperialism. Amanda attended - for research purposes obviously - and found herself amidst Jimmy Dore and Matthew Heimbach, Tulsi Gabbard and Caleb Maupin, the Larouchites, the Grayzoners, loads of nazis and a parade of Russian flags.
