0:38.4

I am the, I don't know if hand sanitizer is real, but I believe in it. So I use it. People like, oh, I love you, hugs and hand shakes. I'm hand sanitizing everything. It's a good idea. You got precautions when you're shaking a lot of hands. You should use the hand sanitizer. It can sometimes wear down your hand to make it look like your body's rotting prematurely. You know, these are the things that happen to public figures. But anyway, very glad to have you here. Thank you for joining us. A couple of the big things happening today.

2:21.3

Anyway, with that said, let's jump back into the news.

2:24.3

Congress has at last finally taken the first step to ending Donald Trump's disastrous,
