| 0:00.0 | The Merry Trump Show with the Nerd Avengers is hitting the road. |
| 0:04.0 | Yes, we're going to be live on May 7th at the House of Blues in Chicago, Illinois. May 9th at Cobb's |
| 0:10.8 | Comedy Club in San Francisco, California. May 10th at the Aladdin Theatre in Portland, Oregon. |
| 0:16.9 | And on May 16th in my hometown, the Grammar Sea Theatre in New York City. I really, |
| 0:23.9 | really hope to see you at one of those shows. It is going to be amazing to get your tickets, |
| 0:29.7 | just go to politicon.com slash tour. |
| 0:45.2 | There are 574 days until the 2024 presidential election. And welcome to the Merry Trump Show with |
| 0:53.2 | the Nerd Avengers. I was going to start the show simply by listing all the news that broke |
| 1:00.4 | over last week, but simply reading the list would have taken the entire show. So before we start, |
| 1:07.5 | I just want to say this as varied as our problems are. There's one unified solution. And that's |

| 1:55.0 | be the mercy of current events as they unfold, which they really have with the vengeance lately. |
| 2:01.3 | And the important things that if they got our attention could improve our lives, our communities, |
| 2:11.2 | our society in very profound ways. So today, and hopefully this will be the start of a trend on |
| 2:17.6 | the show, we're going to take a step back and focus on one of the most important issues facing us |
| 2:27.6 | as human beings, as Americans, as a society. First, I just also want to announce quickly, we'll |
| 2:35.2 | talk about it more later. But on Friday, Jen Rubin is debuting her newsletter at the Washington |
| 2:43.6 | Post. So congratulations, Jen, very happy you could be here. And we'll again, we'll talk about it |
