A new series from ABC Audio in 2020. The Hand in the Window. Out now, wherever you listen to podcasts. All right. It is Tuesday, Veterans Day, November 11th, and I am here with Alyssa Farah Griffin. Hello. Hello, Brian. How are you doing today? How are you feeling? I'm feeling good. Yeah. I would like to share the compliment you gave me, which is this was maternity chic, and I would agree. I think so. No, you look great. You look great. You're dealing it. Good show today. I thought so, too. Let's start with our guests. Let's talk our first guest, Senator Fetterman.

0:55.8

Senator Fetterman, he's kind of interesting. It's funny. I've been hearing, I've been watching
