Welcome one and all to Big News Wednesday.

Hello everyone and welcome back.

Also let me welcome back Sharon who's here Sharon. How's it going?

You know this is not a job. I don't know how you feel about it, but what did you raise your eyebrows for?

I just love being with you guys on Wednesday. It's just, it's the best, you're the best. And the team's the best. Everyone's the best. I love this TYT family.

Oh, that's such a positive start. Man, we started this week coming in with JR and

he'd had these massive tech problems. He was in such a bad mood. I love

you are just sunshine and daisies. Yeah. Well anyway, yeah, yeah, no, I feel very lucky,

especially when it comes to the team and my co-hosts. I did some of, sometimes I have to work from home and then rush into the studio. And Wednesdays, I have so much I have to do before the show happens that like right now, like as the animation was going, I'm like setting up the chat window and everything. And I was thinking, what would it be like to be prepared? And perhaps I'll never know.

But I am glad to have you here. That definitely is one load off of my mind.

Well, it's good to know. May I ask what you were eating when we came? You're always snacking on

something. It makes me something. You know, health food, a little mini Twizzlers, a little bag of

skittles. This is the little snacks that we have at the studio.

So the war on protein continues, at least from where I'm sitting.

You're winning.

That's all sugar, but anyway. But no, no Pop-Tarts, unfortunately, I've run out.

But anyway, glad to have you here. I'm full of energy.

Some call it a sugar rush. So we're going to jump into a whole lot of news, including victory in Minneapolis, perhaps, or perhaps not. We'll talk about that. The shutdown that might have been more bad news coming out of what ICE has been doing to people and just a whole lot of stuff.

We do some good news, by the way, on elections. Well, we have bad news is that they're really dead set on rigging these midterms.

So that'll be fun. But then in Texas, it might be that their gerrymandering was kind of a dumb idea after all.
