Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about

0:06.0

some election year shenanigans and a trend that has started dealing with naming or renaming things after former President Trump.

0:22.2

We're going to do this because there are a number of proposals

0:25.1

up on Capitol Hill designed to do just that.

0:29.1

So we will talk about some of the things that are being suggested and talk about the various
