| 0:00.0 | All right, thanks, Coup. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime. The White House cluster |
| 0:04.6 | keeps claiming victims as more key members of our government go down. And Trump insists COVID, |
| 0:11.1 | no big deal. No big deal that now all but one member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are quarantining |
| 0:18.6 | after exposure. That Stephen Miller now tested positive mastermind of many of Trump's divisive |
| 0:24.7 | policies. Also a fourth press aid has just tested positive. Over two dozen have fallen to COVID |
| 0:32.9 | so far and gotten sick and more or likely given the continued unmasked madness in that place. |
| 0:41.2 | The cases there are coming faster than anything we've seen before this White House other than |
| 0:46.0 | many be indictments and disgraceful exits. The problem is Trump's recklessness has him losing |
| 0:54.1 | key players just as the country needs him and his team most. Instead of making it better for people |
| 1:01.0 | he seems intent on making it worse, ripping off his mask and letting his COVID breath rip raw |

| 1:42.2 | is masking? You know doing this would be the right message. Shameful but true. Ripping that mask |
| 1:51.6 | off was less dramatic than how he's ripping the scab off so many families economic wounds. The |
| 1:57.5 | economy is tanking. They need relief. Shame on the Republicans, shame on the Democrats and shame on |
| 2:05.2 | this president. Most of those working are going to pay more in taxes to the federal government than |
| 2:10.8 | our self-proclaimed billionaire POTUS, saving all that money, only paying $750 a year in taxes. |
| 2:17.4 | When he was asked about it in the debate, I pay millions. What about those two years? I paid millions. |
