0:08.0	This is the James Altature Show. It's funny to find the last eight years went so quickly.
0:18.0	It did for and I guess you know obviously we're both getting older, but it seems like one consistent arc because eight years ago started the whole kind of Trump cycle.
0:31.2	So it's like this been one political arc where we went from an
