0:00.0	We heard from Kamala Harris yesterday, we heard from Donald Trump, but we also heard from outgoing President Joe Biden and I want to
0:16.2	focus in first on the Oval Office address that he delivered at 8 p.m. last night.
0:21.5	I was live on YouTube,
0:22.5	Twitch and Facebook streaming this and the reaction of many of you, many in the
