0:00.0	Welcome to the show.
0:08.6	Hope you had a good weekend.
0:10.9	Republicans have a very complicated situation right now.
0:14.1	We have more than just a small rebellion happening in the Senate from Republicans against
0:20.5	the House passed Trump tax bill.
0:23.5	And we start with Senator Rand Paul publicly splitting with Donald Trump really over one of the
