0:39.7	happened. And then of course I saw that two plays any tours of killies. Yeah, for those who don't
0:46.0	watch the NFL, Ben's beloved, New York Jets got, you know, arguably the best quarterback and not the
0:51.6	best one of the best top three quarterbacks in football, no offense, Patrick Maholms, and he
0:56.6	tours a killies on the fourth play, fifth play, not ideal. So there's a very Jets situation,
1:01.0	too, too. Very Jets situation. But you know, it's good that you were in Woody Johnson's former
1:06.3	stomah grounds, the Jets owner, Maga Chud. Yeah, yeah, it's better that he's not the ambassador
1:12.5	here. And rather that than have a healthier and writers have to say that. Yeah, that's true.
1:17.2	Well, listen, Ben's sadness around sports aside. We got a great trip today. We just wrapped

1:27.7	Ukraine. I talk about a big speech. Tony's given this week talk about, you know, sort of views in
1:33.2	the global south of the G20 of the United States. We talk about a potential U.S. Saudi Israel
1:38.9	normalization deal. So a lot of ground covered there. And then Ben and I are going to talk about
1:43.3	the latest from Russia and Ukraine, Armenia and Azerbaijan. A bunch of interesting updates about
1:47.8	China, the politics of presidential travel, some good news out of Mexico, the tragic earthquake in
1:53.3	Morocco, and then an update on everyone's least favorite soccer asshole in Spain. And then Ben,
