Hey, pull up a chair.

It's Haxon Tap with David Axelrod and Mike Murphy.

So this is a special edition of Hacks on Tap here at my home base, the Institute of Politics

at the University of Chicago.

Both these guys have been very much a part of the Institute of Politics from the beginning, and

appreciate it with you guys.

And the good news is one week after the election,

we are still at large. Okay, so we feel good about that. Speak for yourself. I got a ticket to

Portugal at midnight. Are you wearing your ankle bracelet or you what? I said I have a ticket to

Portugal at midnight. Thank you all for coming. I haven't been in this room since I got my degree in Harry Potter studies.

Here's a go.

So it's good to be bad.

Is that a Milton Burl joke right there?

No.

But yeah, probably the folks listening to the podcast don't necessarily understand the reference.

Well, Harry Potterer they would.

It took, it took, like, exactly 30 seconds to fuck up the thing about how you shouldn't describe things, talking about things you can't.

But anyway, we are a week after the election or just about, and we've had more time to pick through the rubble.

And so give me your, give me your top lines, both of you guys.

Please, Michael.

Age before beauty, as they say.

You're screwed, future generation, but only in the short term.
