Right.

So it's grievance day, actually, when I'm actually recording this.

But you'll be hearing it for the informal start of the Christmas holiday season with with Christmas Eve.

So I appreciate it.

I'm Chuck Todd.

Another episode of the Chuck Todd cast.

If I hadn't said that, get that away.

I appreciate it.

It's been.

I have had a blast these last eight months.

We got started, I believe, on April 2nd was our first episode.

And this has been just such a joy.

So I appreciate it.

And, you know, I've scratched itches that I've always wanted to scratch in a semi-public forum.

including all of the various sports updates that I enjoy doing.

So let me give you a rundown of this episode.

A little bit of reaction of some headlines of the last 48 hours.

I want to get to a little bit on Epstein, a little bit on the CBS Mets with 60 Minutes.

But a sort of larger view of sort of taking a step back and what has changed in our politics and what actually hasn't changed in the last year.

And I want to go through that a little bit.
