| 0:35.6 | It's the David Knight Show. |
| 0:43.6 | As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 16th of March. |
| 0:49.1 | Dear of our Lord, 2006, well, today we're going to take a look at the dire straits that Trump is in. |
| 0:56.4 | He has nobody to blame but himself, but now he is calling out desperately for help from other countries. |
| 1:02.9 | The conflicting narratives, it's very clear to everyone right now that Trump has no plan, never had a plan, unless the plan was to melt down |

| 2:13.7 | failed to report to the FDA deaths, suicidal ideation, and strokes from people using |

| 2:23.6 | And the result after the FDA found out about this fraud was to send them a reprimand. |
| 2:29.5 | They got a letter. |
| 2:31.2 | I'm sure that's a deterrent after they have made $35 billion just last year alone. |
