| 0:00.0 | Yesterday, as you might have seen, the rapper 50 cent endorsed Donald Trump because he said |
| 0:09.0 | Joe Biden was going to increase taxes too much, but in his endorsement of Donald Trump he posted a |
| 0:16.4 | graphic saying that this was how Joe Biden is going to tax people and it's literally not true. I want to unpack and explain it. |
| 0:26.2 | As you all know, I'm a lifelong critic of Joe Biden, but you can't post misinformation |
| 0:35.0 | and say based on this misinformation, |
