| 0:00.0 | You know, You know, exactly happened exactly happened like i i don't know Exactly happened. |
| 1:47.6 | I don't know about the rest of you, but I remember I came home from a business trip and, you know, |
| 1:52.7 | was just easing in and going to bed. |
| 1:54.4 | And then all of a sudden my phone is blowing up with the stock markets crashing and we're |
| 1:58.8 | going to have World War III over in the Middle East. |
| 2:00.8 | And we don't know who the vice presidential pick is going to be. And oh, by the way, did you hear |
| 2:04.6 | that a member of Congress said that they're going to disqualify Trump and, I don't know, |
