Thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. Happy Halloween. My costume is perfect. I know.

0:05.6

Thank you. Nailed it. I defy anyone

0:08.5

to ever surpass my

0:11.0

childless old white lesbian costume. I know. It's my greatest contribution to our culture.

If you ever want to buy one, I recommend just zeroxing a photo of this screen. Anyway,

0:21.4

happy Halloween. His name is Jair Bolsonaro.
