There's a new podcast out we think listeners would like. It's called The Heist and comes

from the folks at the Center for Public Integrity and Pushkin Industries. This season we're

focusing on a heist of land and wealth from America's black farmers and ranchers. One

government department has been at the heart of this heist, the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

This season the heist follows one man who's determined to survive as a rancher in his hometown

of Bully, Oklahoma. If Nate Bradford succeeds, he'll buck the odds and it'll be against the long

documented history of government discrimination. Check out season three of the heist wherever you

listen to podcasts.

Welcome to Judging Sam, the trial of Sam Bankman Freed. I'm Michael Lewis. We're recording this

on Tuesday evening Halloween. I'll cover the 31st and we're finally in the homestretch.

The process you can finish their cross-examination of Sam today and then the defense followed up

with a redirect and then everybody rested. Tomorrow we'll start closing our units.

Lydia Jean, you waited outside the courthouse for nearly seven hours last night. What was that like?

Honestly, I feel embarrassed that I did that, especially because there was no need because

people were arriving at 6 a.m. and able to get into the courthouse fine, but I got scared from yesterday.

Well, the market turned, right? It was so interesting to hear people talk there. This

etiquette that nobody devolged with time they got there because the night before, because it was

going to cause people to get there even earlier in the next day. It had been this creep to the point

where two days ago the first guy shows up at like 11 o'clock at night. I feel like I've done every

hour. At this point, I've done two, I've done three, I've done four hours, but I've never really

considered part of my day before. So you got there, were you say one in the morning?

Two 15, I think. Two 15. You got there at two 15 and how many people were ahead of you?
