0:00.0	Welcome, everybody.
0:08.6	Hope you had a good holiday.
0:11.1	If you had one, we continue into night two of Hanukkah tonight.
0:16.9	Very exciting.
0:18.2	This interim period between Christmas and New Year's, it always feels sort of
0:22.8	like a school half day, except we're doing the full show, you will be pleased to know. The Elon,
0:28.6	excuse me, the Elon Trump stuff continues and it now is rising to the level of international concern.

Now, in a completely isolated world, if it was Elon Musk speaking to the Israeli prime minister, if it was, you know, fill in the blanks, right, Vivek Ramoswamy, if it was Hannity or if just if a right wing figure is on a one off speaking to a foreign leader and it's known that this individual has a back channel to Trump and a joke like this is told.
2:27.5	All right, it's really not a big deal.
2:30.5	But that's not the environment in which this is taking place. This is taking place in an environment where Elon Musk is increasingly in the position
