| 0:30.0 | 19 different versions of them. So I just wanted to play that because face the nation yesterday and their opening segment just stated the president also delved into racist comments and played that just stating it is that's clearly racist saying conflux. |
| 0:47.0 | All right, you either do it that or you don't. |
| 0:50.0 | Yeah, I heard various breathless commentary over the weekend about how outrageous and the president joking about testing with 120,000 people dead. I actually I was a little uncomfortable with some of his COVID jokes, honestly, not the Kung flu, but I just thought it's a weird tone for the president of the United States, but some of the commentators, you know, flap in their hands breathlessly just a tear streaming down their cheeks in the style of Don Lamont. |
