Mid-Episode Sponsor Break

At 22:47 · chapter starts 20:30

A cluster of sponsor reads punctuates the transition from Hochul's interview to the opposing arguments. Cash App promotes its Bitcoin features with a $10 new-customer offer using code CashApp10. Ozempic advertises its semaglutide tablets (4 and 9 mg) as a rethinking of what GLP-1s can do. Southern New Hampshire University pitches its 200+ online degree programs as a smart personal investment. The reads are well-produced and tonally neutral, allowing the episode to reset before moving into the more philosophically confrontational second half.
