0:08.8 | I'm Clyde Lewis. |
0:11.1 | And this is Ground Zero. |
0:18.2 | The numbers to call tonight, 503-225-0-860. That's 503-2-2-2-5-0860. |
0:22.5 | That's 503-2-2-5-0860. |
0:31.2 | You know, normally I don't pay attention to many politics. |
0:44.0 | And... pay attention to many politics and uh it's because of the fact that most of the time in it you know sure i can talk about things that are political but not politics but okay and uh |
0:51.7 | anyway so what i'm sorry i'm having a hard time with my microphone tonight and I don't know what's going on with it. It's driving me crazy. So I'm trying to get through this and I will.

2:00.4 | thought about that since my father passed away because my father was |
2:02.9 | one of those Bercher type guys who thought there was a communist under the bed and everything |
2:06.0 | was going crazy. |
2:07.8 | So what I'm talking about is a parapolitical moment where, you know, politics and not only |
