I am at Monica Crowley. Also by email, I am at Monica Crowley podcast at gmail.com. All right, we've got really big shows coming up here in the weeks ahead. I just want to give you a little

teaser about what's coming up. You know me, Park, we'll join us here on Thursday. On Thursday, we'll do a little bit

of a deconstruction of the Republican debate, which is happening at the Reagan Library in California

Wednesday night, tomorrow night. So we'll do a little bit of a breakdown on that, but I mean,

I have to say, I can't imagine any news being broken in that debate.

Nothing really substantial is going to happen.

Donald Trump is so dominant.

We're going to get to that later here today.

But he's so dominant, not just in the Republican field, but going up against Biden. Again, we're going to talk about that,

that, you know, these people who are going to be on the debate stage, it's nice that we're going to

hear some conservative and popular policy positions being debated and talked about. That is all to the

good. We love airing this stuff out. We should be having these

conversations. But in terms of who is going to be the next Republican nominee for president,

I think that race is over. So when I see people talking about these Republican debates,

the race is on. Actually, no, it's not.

It was begun and ended a long time ago, but okay.

So we'll talk a little bit about that on Thursday, and we'll give you an update as to a potential

government shutdown, too, which could happen because the government runs out of money
