There's been a unanimous conclusion by all the American Intelligence Services that Russia tried to monkey wrench the 2016 election to help elect Trump.

Are you saying that Russia is still a bigger enemy to U.S. than China is today?

Why didn't Donald Trump pay taxes? I'm a New Yorker. I've known this guy since the 70s. He's a con man.

Whether you like the way he lives his personal life, I mean if you think that never happened, you're a fool.

All right, we'll stipulate that Donald Trump is not a saint. Go on.

This guy is a billionaire. He parties. They love him. He's great. He's always on TV, Letterman Leno. Why the hell would you run for office and ruin your life?

He's a wrecking ball. He was trying to build a luxury hotel in partnership with the Soviet government.

We still have to have a bed.

So how about we make the bed on the presidency?

Are you confident enough to make it Biden, Trump?

I'm not happy about it, but I'm going to vote for Biden.

Our democracy is in trouble, my friend. It's under attack. It's under attack by the Russians and it's under attack by the president of the United States.
