0:11.5

She's obviously from the great state of New York, Senator.

0:14.4

She's on the Armed Services Committee, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

0:17.4

She's heading up the Democrat senatorial run for 2006. Let's get right into it. Let's Senator, thank you for being here. I really appreciate it.

0:24.8

Thank you, Donnie. So let's give a hand. Let's let's let's armchair last,

0:28.5

I'm chair last night's Trump speech. Obviously you were in the room. Talk to me about

0:33.1

the pros, the cons, the ups, the downs, the whoops. Well, it was very divisive, which isn't great because part of the purpose of these kinds of speeches is to bring the country together again, and he chose not to do that at all.

0:46.4

He also just didn't talk about the middle class.

1:48.8

You ever what I wonder, and obviously what he's done has been success for him,

1:54.0

can you imagine if he got up there and didn't do the divisive thing and basically just said, you know, I'm reaching across the aisle and like the guy, there's no limit how popular

he could be.

1:59.7
