0:00.0	Welcome to 2024. There is one rule in American politics. Everyone eventually gets what they
0:06.1	deserve usually in the funniest possible way. I want to show you my favorite picture of all time.
0:11.5	This picture is from after the 2016 election when Donald Trump had just won the White House.
0:16.7	It is one of my favorite pictures ever, probably my favorite picture ever. It's a picture of Donald Trump giving the Trump finger to the camera.

1:12.0	that he was born in Kenya. Everyone gets what they deserve in politics. Hillary Clinton got it
1:17.0	that year as well. Well, this year in 2024, everyone is going to get what they deserve.
1:22.3	And that's both good news and bad news. Twenty-23 felt like the year of the setup, and
1:27.1	2024 is going to be the year of the punchline or
1:30.1	a lot more darkly, 2023 felt like all the dominoes have now been set up and 24 is going
