Welcome one and all to the damage report. We're one week out from the election, still trying to figure out what the hell happened, where the hell we are right now, and how we're going to get to a better place.

And joining me today to help sift through the wreckage.

Garrison returns.

Garrison has gone.

I'm here.

I think that's what matters the most.

I'm doing well.

It's a good day.

We're here.

It's a good day. We're here. It's a good day. In no small part, thanks to the fact that you are here. I'm very excited to

break down some of the stuff coming out of the elections, some of the new cabinet picks and other related news.

So thank you for joining us. I do appreciate it.

Thank you.

And thank you, everybody, for being here. I know it would be super easy to not be, you know,

there's a lot of streaming services. You could put friends on literally anytime you want,

and you chose not to. Maybe some of you are watching both at the same time. That's confusing,

but I accept it. So thank you for being here, everybody. I tried to give you some reasons for

optimism yesterday. I remain optimistic.

I've put myself in the last 20 minutes or so into a pretty bad mood, but in a meta sense,

I'm optimistic. And I think I'll get back there momentarily. But for now, let's jump into

our first stories. Hit the like button, do all that stuff. We're still giving out blueping gift cards. So send us your comments. We'll see what's going on. Okay, let's jump into our first stories.
