| 0:00.0 | I need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend David. |
| 0:09.0 | First thing that happens is this guy is going to pick this part. |
| 0:11.0 | Well, I don't see anything here. I see a dud. |
| 0:13.0 | And it's ridiculous. It's a pariah to the legal profession. |
| 0:17.0 | None whatsoever it is. Not a crime. This is all just a red herring to smear the president. |
| 0:22.0 | This is about truth versus lying and ultimately, Donald Trump is going to be done in by the truth. |

| 1:42.0 | But forget about the base, which I believe is as much a performance as a voting block. |
| 1:47.0 | Real regular majority voters are hurting, and in a profound way, I got a bunch of emails this week, |
