| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome to the show, everybody. |
| 0:09.0 | It has been quite a journey to make it in for the show today, but I'm glad to be here. |
| 0:15.8 | So much over the weekend to discuss. |
| 0:18.5 | And where I want to start are the growing sort of cracks of MAGA. |
| 0:23.6 | It's like walking on an ice pond and you thought it was frozen solid, but now you're out in the middle and you're starting to see the hairline cracks in the ice. |
| 0:34.6 | There's a very good new article in the Atlantic by Ali Breeland, and it's called |
