| 0:00.0 | Thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime. |
| 0:03.4 | Why do you think about this? You know, in America, we refer to our highest officials as honorable. |
| 0:09.8 | An example. |
| 0:12.8 | The honorable Ron Johnson, a senator from the state of Wisconsin. |
| 0:16.8 | The honorable Mitch McConnell, a senator from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. |
