| 0:00.0 | Hey, America, John Solomon here for decades. You've worked hard, paid your taxes, and stood by |
| 0:04.1 | the values that built this nation. That's honesty, accountability, and faith, right? You know that. |
| 0:08.3 | But you now are seeing a government that's bloated and reckless and in many cases, completely |
