Good evening and welcome to this evening's edition of Tiskey Sour. I'm Aaron Bistani,

filling in once again for Michael Walker. And boy, do we have a show for you tonight?

0:16.0

Liz Truss, maybe the new Prime Minister, but I'm joined by the only girl boss that matters.

0:22.8

Ash, I know you died a little bit inside when I said that, how are you?

0:26.9

I'm good. And Aaron, I actually prepared a special joke for you tonight. How many comedians

0:32.6

does it take to derail a politics show? I don't know. One. And it's not funny.

2:09.5

During this leadership campaign, I campaigned as a conservative and I will govern as a conservative.

2:21.4

And my friends, we need to show that we will deliver over the next two years. I will deliver a bold
