0:00.0	All right. Thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to prime time.
0:05.8	Listen, here's the headline. The second quarter was the worst quarter in terms of GDP action
0:13.0	in America's history. We were down almost 33%. Okay. And of course, the reason is COVID.
0:24.2	But it's how this president mishandled COVID. What's the proof? Well, lots of countries
0:31.2	are dealing with COVID, right? Why are we down almost a third of our GDP growth?
0:39.0	And yet Germany was down 10%. China. Remember, we're going to get on top of China. Only I can fix it.
0:48.2	They were up 3%. Why? What happened to this being the best economy in the world?
0:58.0	So pay no mind to the president's delay the election flashbangs to disorient you.

2:00.8	distract you on our watch between April and June. We lost almost a third. Germany lost just 10.
2:11.2	China is up. Why aren't we the best? He's going to have to answer to you for that. Now remember, he told you this the other week.
2:22.0	I'm not a good loser. I don't like to lose it.
2:26.9	Of course he doesn't like to lose. It's what is he willing to do to avoid taking a loss? He gave you the answer
