| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, Tim O'er from the Bull Work here. |
| 0:01.5 | I went on with Nicole today, and we did the what-it-all-means combo with regards to Marjorie Taylor Green and went a little deeper than I was able to run the pot with Bill earlier this morning. |
| 0:13.7 | But a bunch has happened since the pod with Bill. |
| 0:16.3 | A bunch of negative for Trump. |
| 0:18.2 | I thought Nicole is going to ask me about that. |
| 0:24.4 | She didn't. And so I could have is going to ask me about that. She didn't. And so I get to talk to you guys about it. Here's what I think we're seeing across the board right now. And this does |
