| 0:00.0 | A gang at three. Before we get started, you can probably tell that I don't have my normal, |
| 0:04.8 | booming baritone. And that's because I've got a bug that won't leave me or the family alone. |
| 0:10.0 | But as we like to say in politics and in showbiz, the show must go on. I hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:16.0 | I'll feel better and I'll be back to my bright sunny voice next time. And now on with the show. |
| 0:21.6 | Welcome back to the Lincoln Project. I'm your host, Stale Afrogi Regale. Today, I'm joined by Simon |

| 0:40.8 | A leading liberal think-tank and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. |

| 1:21.1 | you feel better. Me too, man. It's been like a week now. So right before we started recording, |
