| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone welcome to what is the episode you all see coming the |
| 0:09.7 | Biden Step Down episode which is I don't want to say it's a huge shock but I |
| 0:16.1 | firmly believe that if he had stayed in the race they would have won they would have |
| 0:21.5 | won but COVID is a bitch and so is being bullied by the |
