0:00.0 | Americans are tired of not knowing who their politicians are as people and we |
0:06.4 | are certainly tired of being fed the same scripted five-minute sound bites |
0:13.4 | that the mainstream media offers us. We need to get this country on the right |
0:19.5 | track and we need to do it fast. This is an open platform. You all know that and |
0:26.8 | I'm inviting any in all presidential candidates a platform to tell their |
0:34.4 | story, tell their views and spread their word on a platform where a host does |
