0:00.0	Welcome to the Advisory Opinion Podcast. This is David French with Sarah Isger and Sarah,
0:08.3	I, you know this already, but I'm going to tell the listeners. I'm recording from the bleakest place in America.
0:16.1	The Hilton at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. I don't know why, I don't know why it feels so bleak,
0:25.5	but it just feels bleak here. I can't put my finger on it. So this podcast is going to have to
0:33.3	brighten my day. Yeah, I was at O'Hare actually on Monday and felt looking around that it was people
0:41.2	who had lost all hope, like the expressions on everyone's faces. It wasn't good.
0:46.0	Yeah, it's like the island of lost souls here and right, looking across to the terminal.

2:06.7	One of them I'll hit quickly and then the other Sarah will hit and one of the developments is this
