0:00.0	All right, welcome, everybody.
0:08.5	Let's start with something very interesting as far as the show is concerned, which is that
0:12.8	yesterday I was in Washington, D.C., and met with President Joe Biden.
0:18.0	So let me tell you what this was all about.
0:20.0	And I think there are some important
0:21.4	takeaways here with regard to the next four years and so many things that we've all been talking
0:28.8	about. So first and foremost, what was the context of this meeting? I went for a meeting with

1:36.3	with online media, I would argue, anywhere approximating what should have been done.
1:41.3	It's a sign that they understand the importance.
1:43.3	It's a sign that they want to build these relationships.
1:46.4	And of course, a lot of you are probably saying, but David, they just lost and they've
