0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
0:04.0 | So today, we're going to talk about Trump, Law, and what didn't happen on the 20th. |
0:11.0 | We're going to talk about something that caused people a lot of anxiety over the last month or so, |
0:16.0 | how you can avoid being nervous about it in the future, and why we didn't really talk about it. |
0:22.2 | I mean, I answered some questions about it in the comments, but it didn't get its own video. |
0:27.7 | If you didn't know, something really groundbreaking was supposed to happen on the 20th of April. |
