Happy to have you here. A quick thing right off the bat. I have a book out. My most recent book called Prequel came out last year. You might have heard about it. Even if you didn't, here's the news. Here's why I'm mentioning it. My book, Prequel, is coming out in paperback next month on May 6th. And the reason I'm telling you this now is that I'm going to be doing a little bit of

traveling around the country, doing live events, live talks to support the book coming out.

It's not like a big book tour, but it's just a little one. But just in case you have any

interest in seeing me in person at one of these events, where the real attraction is meeting

other people who are interested in

seeing me in person.

Here's three dates that I can tell you about tonight where we are putting tickets on sale

right now.

Thursday, May 8th, Miami, Florida, Friday, May 9th, Long Island in New York, and Saturday,

May 31st in St. Louis, Missouri. So if you'd like tickets to go to one of

those events, you can get them at MSNBC.com slash prequel, which is the name of the book. Or you can

just open up the camera function on your phone, hold your phone up to that weird little blob thing

that's on the screen right now, and it will give you a link to click to go right there.

So I just wanted to get that out of the way right off the bat.

I will let you know when we've got some more dates.

If we have more dates, I think we're going to have a few more dates.

But that's it for now.

Okay.

Let's get going.

You have heard of this person named Cash Patel, right?

Do you remember Cash Patel?

He was like a cartoon figure from the first Donald Trump term.
