I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime. We can all agree on this every one of us.

0:06.2

Nothing that we are dealing with in America today is normal. A pandemic that some refuse to accept

0:14.0

Israel fed by fraud, courtesy of the president. Ab normal. A racial crisis that this president

0:23.8

won't even say out loud. Ab normal. He's saying the real problem is the desperate and sometimes

0:33.9

violent reaction to his ignoring the real problem. It's called systemic inequality. You can have

0:44.0

systemic inequality which we do and not have all Americans be racist. The only reason to say

0:52.9

they want you to think all Americans are racist is because he doesn't want you to focus on

0:59.0

the real problem. So he gives you something absurd. Ab normal. So why? The reason Trump takes

1:09.4

these abnormal positions is because he is selling you ab normality. Trump is an incumbent who says

1:20.4

look around. Everything is gone to hell and a hell of a hand basket since I became president

1:27.0

1:56.6

worse. Doesn't simple logic 62 days out from an election dictate that the guy who helped make

2:05.8

things bad would probably make it worse if given a second chance. Now remember here's the key.

2:13.7

How do you sell abnormal? You need to be abnormal. Forget about presidential. Instead of presidential,

2:23.0

Trump is pathological. He lies and uses power and pawns to divide. He is the picture that should

2:32.0

be next to a demagogue in the dictionary. He literally wants to make you hate. Prove it, okay?

2:40.4

How are you supposed to feel about media that doesn't praise him? Like me for example. Hate them.

2:46.1

Hate them. What about protesters who show up at the rallies? Beat them up. Hate them. How about black

2:54.0

and brown folks? Prone of violence? Look what they're doing on the streets. Sneaking into the country
