| 0:09.0 | Oh, baby, don't die for me. If I tell you my story, don't cry for me. |
| 0:14.8 | Until my time that's fun by me, this is my Mayor's over. |

| 0:27.2 | On Friday came news that California Representative Eric Swalwell, who led House impeachment efforts |

| 1:51.6 | The analogy would be a defendant in a criminal case being found not guilty by a jury and then |
