0:00.0	Welcome to the dispatch podcast. I'm Jamie Weinstein. My guest today is former
0:06.7	longtime Hillary Clinton aide and confidant, Philippe Rinus. He did work for Hillary Clinton through much of her political
0:17.1	career and runs for president and in fact in 2016 was the Donald Trump stand-in during the presidential debate prep.
