All right, Coup, here we go.

New normal.

I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to prime time.

There's much discussion about what the inaugural yesterday meant.

In other words, we only know what they show.

For all the politics that has Biden spinning out executive orders in all directions, we know

It must be the pandemic, specifically getting people to control what they can in terms of

cases and getting the president and the government to control what they must in terms of the vaccine.
