0:00.0	Well, how about that stock market, ladies and gentlemen, MAGA in shambles as stocks yet again hit an all-time high this is a new
0:18.3	episode unless it's a rerun it's just that once again under the stewardship of President Joe Biden stocks have hit an all time forever high.
0:30.6	Here is Fox News, on Fox Business, reluctantly acknowledging what it is that is taking place
0:39.6	here and it is remarkable, I have to say.
