0:00.0	Well, I'm back, everybody. Good to be back and so much to discuss. We'll start with
0:20.8	the situation in Russia. A failed coup attempt, which Vladimir Putin has survived, but to
0:28.2	what end and with what long-term impact, we just don't know, but let's go through what
0:33.2	took place over the weekend. Incredible. The Wagner group, Wagner group, everybody has
0:39.0	their own way of pronouncing it, launched a coup attempt by sending tanks and troops
