| 0:00.0 | Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in the east. There's a moment at the end of the Emperor's new clothes. |
| 0:09.1 | When the people begin to see the truth, when they start to recognize their leader is not wearing the finest stitching. |
| 0:15.9 | He's just, well, naked. Well, today, Donald Trump is feeling the breeze. It's no secret that the very |
| 0:23.0 | foundation of his political power is his unique ability to construct an alternate reality |

| 1:35.7 | Department, any meeting she had with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who was once |
| 1:40.2 | Donald Trump's personal attorney. Even this week, Trump did his best to project just how |
