Hello, friends and neighbors. Welcome back to the Bill Press Pod, and most significantly,

welcome to the end of the Donald Trump presidency and a new day for America, a new president,

a new direction, a world of exciting new possibilities.

You know, every change of administration is charged with excitement, but this one, especially

so because the contrast is so great.

We're dramatically turning the page from a totally incompetent president to a master

at governing and getting things done.

From an ignorant boob to one of the most experienced and well-informed men ever to occupy the Oval Office.

From a pathological liar to a man you can count on to always tell the truth.

And from an outright racist to a man who's always fought for and

earned the support of the African American community, who embraced the Black Lives Matter

movement, and who's nominated the most diverse cabinet in history.

Indeed, expectations are high for the Joe Biden presidency, yet he starts out saddled with the most

serious health care crisis in our history, of severe economics slump, and the presence of a

dangerous, extremist, white supremacist movement. So what can we realistically expect from the

Biden administration in the first two years?

Or what about the first 100 days?

Or what about day one?

Joining us today with their insights, two reporters from Politico who have covered the Biden transition,

Alice Olstein, who specializes in health care matters, and Caitlin Emma, whose special reporting area is the budget.

Alice, Alice Alsteen and Caitlin Emma, great to talk to you both.

Thanks so much for joining us here on the Bill Press pod.
