| 0:00.0 | The scary part is that Herschel Walker had a chance and he almost won. |
| 0:20.5 | I've been saying now for months that Herschel Walker never should have even had a shot |
| 0:25.4 | in a country that made sense with voters with some connection to reality. |
| 0:31.0 | Someone like Herschel Walker never should have even won the Republican nomination in |

| 1:30.8 | And in the article, Jack Holmes writes, it feels almost unnecessary at this point to run |
| 1:35.4 | through Herschel Walker's record as a national political candidate. |
| 1:40.1 | He's running in Georgia, but set in a campaign speech, he lives in Texas, et cetera, et cetera. |
