Welcome back to PotSafe the World, I'm Tommy Vittor.

I'm Ben Rhodes.

Ben, I had a one-upy today.

I'm wearing my Wisconsin Adoptistate shirt.

I can't really hold it up without also getting away from the mic.

So I chose that over the Scorpions T-shirt.

Yeah.

It might go neal-bought me after having a few cocktails and going on eBay, but I just wanted

to let you know.

The Scorpions T-shirt is killer, but I got to get my Adoptistate merch on it.

Well, you know, listen, Michigan is certainly...

It's a good second choice, but if you want someone truly committed, please come to Wisconsin.

We have a great show today, Ben.

I'm really excited about this one because we're going to get to talk about some things

that we don't always raise on this show, but are personally, I think, very important to

you and I.

And that starts with an attack on press freedom in the Philippines and what it could mean

for the future of democracy and what it means on the ongoing road we're seeing in a lot

of places to autocracy and authoritarianism, which is something you've written about a lot.

I'm excited to dig into that.

We'll pause and reflect on the two-year anniversary of the Singapore summit between the US and

North Korea and all the problems that were solved by that momentous occasion.
