Hey guys, it's Katie and wanted to just say up top that by the time you're listening to this,

0:05.5

we may know way more. We probably won't know who wins the election or we may know who wins the

0:10.1

election, but there will be some kind of legal attempts to disqualify it. We are taping Thursday

0:15.0

afternoon. So obviously we will address whatever developments arise on the show next week.

0:21.1

All right, welcome to you, it's on that tiny B and I'm Katie Halper. And we still don't have

0:34.4

a well, we know we we kind of know what's going to happen, but don't not really as we're taping

0:39.6

this. We still don't really have president. It's Thursday and when you're this probably this
