So Ben, we have a few more people here in the studio with us than usual. Well we're not even in the jungle studio. We're not. Where are we?

We are in the Saul Zilka Auditorium at Brookings where we are reporting rational security in front of a live audience.

Usually our live audiences are drinking and don't have knives, so I hope this goes well.

So our live audience today is the Brookings Council,

which is a group of supporters of the Brookings Institution.

And we have never done one of these before. of the rational security is open to doing live tapings in front of cool audiences.

So yeah, just show up anytime.

I have to say though, as you noted noted usually in the past our audience members have been

imbibing before they listen and I'm a little wary about the reception we're

going to get from a sober crowd.

So the message to the to the broken plea.

If people want beer, give it to them.

Hello and welcome to Rational Security the How Many Elephants Make a Stampede addition.

Wow, what a crowd.

We should do this more often.

I'm Shane Harris, live action reporter,

here at Brookings with our delightful room full of friends and my good friend

Susan Hennessy Tamara Kofman with us and Ben with us. Hi guys.

Hi, Shane.
