0:00.0	This is Deep State Radio, coming to you direct from our super secret studio in the
0:23.9	third sub-basement of the Ministry of Snark in Washington DC and from other undisclosed locations
0:31.4	across America and around the world. Hello and welcome to a special post-election edition of the
0:39.3	podcast with our team that has been with us all along leading up to the election and has been
0:46.8	pretty uncanny in some of their predictions as we will explore. The team includes Simon Rosenberg
0:53.6	Simon as the president of NDN and the new policy institute. How are you doing Simon? I'm good,
1:00.2	I'm better today, damn it, I'm better today. You know, you've maintained your mood throughout all

1:58.4	punditocracy was getting it wrong, are you doing Tom? Well, if we're comparing notes,
2:05.2	I'm working on about two hours sleep, but I'm not wearing the clothes I was wearing all day
2:09.7	yesterday and all night last night, so I consider it a win. We consider it a win too. And
2:15.6	are glad that you are here with us. Let me start with you Simon, periodically in our conversations
2:22.8	on this, I accused you of being an optimist, you know, a gentle and friendly way, and you had a message
