0:00.0	Hi guys! How's everybody doing?
0:21.4	It is great to be back at the improv. I see merch. I see Americans. Two of my favorite things.
0:34.6	It is exciting. As we are here right now, the bells in the capital are ringing. The air is thick
0:47.2	with shutdown. We are going to bring you updates throughout the show because literally right now,
0:54.6	the partisan house bill failed in the Senate. What time is it, Edish? I want you to imagine a world
1:09.6	in which I was about to do was not talk about it. You are doing wonderfully. You are already having a
1:18.9	great time. There is the shutdown has not begun yet. If it is going to happen, it will start at midnight
1:27.3	unless there is another delay. But we will get into that. Love it or leave it is going on tour.

2:17.4	something that we are going to do. But before that, something else that happened this week is that
2:21.8	the New York Times surrendered their editorial page to Trump voters. Did you guys see this?
2:28.9	So, before we bring out our panel, I did want to kick things off with a game about whether or not
2:38.2	these Trump supporters have a voice in our politics. So, now for a game we call white mirror.
2:46.6	Would anyone out there like to play white mirror?
2:56.1	Hi, what is your name? I'm Tina. Hi, Tina. Hi. Great shirt. Thank you. How are you doing? I'm doing fine.
