| 0:00.0 | All right, Cooke. Thank you very much. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime. We learned today that Trump's teenage son had |
| 0:08.0 | COVID good news. They say he was asymptomatic and is now |
| 0:12.4 | negative. But here's why I bring it up. How can Trump keep holding potential super spreader events that will |
| 0:19.4 | sicken other folks and maybe their kids after what his own family has been through? |
| 0:24.8 | I can relate to very little when it comes to Trump's motivations. We may have grown up in the same |
| 0:30.5 | place, but we are very different people. But this I can relate to. I got my wife and son sick, |
| 0:37.9 | just like he did. But with me, it crushed me. It left me ashamed and super sensitive to keeping people |
| 0:46.9 | safe. Now with Trump, not only does he not really talk about either of them that much, but he's |
| 0:54.2 | parading around like Superman and saying he understands COVID better now. Well, if he does, |
| 1:01.2 | why is he only doing things that will make it worse for others? Not only did he keep to fail to |
| 1:06.8 | keep his own family safe like I did. But it's what you do after you make that mistake. It kills me |
| 1:14.8 | that the shame and the fear and what might have happened, the way it the way it plagues me to this day. |
| 1:22.1 | And yet he doesn't seem to give a damn. That's why I'm floored that after what he has lived, |
| 1:28.9 | he's insisting on making more people sick. Listen to him. |
| 1:33.2 | Baron Trump, you know, he had the Corona 19, the China virus. He had it for such a short period of time. |
| 1:44.8 | I don't even think he knew he had it because they're young and their immune systems are strong and |
| 1:50.4 | they fight it off. 99.9% and Baron is beautiful and he's free. Get the kids back to school. We |
| 2:01.8 | got to get the kids back to school. None of this makes sense to me as a father. I got to be honest. |
| 2:09.2 | He doesn't think his kid knew that he had it. Yeah, yeah, he did. Wouldn't you know? |
| 2:14.1 | weren't you talking to him about it? weren't you in constant contact? The way I was and every other |
| 2:18.4 | parent because you're scared to death even when they're asymptomatic. God forbid, what'll happen? |
| 2:25.2 | Where does this non-chalance come from? And they've got to go back to school? No kidding. |
