| 0:46.8 | happened over the weekend that I have to discuss |
| 0:50.4 | because it is, well, it painted a picture two different things happen over the weekend |
| 0:57.3 | that painted a picture for me that I have to convey to you number one I want to stress |
| 1:02.3 | that anyone who who is still telling you that identity politics don't |
