| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Tim Moore from the bulwark here. Donald Trump just finished yet another one of his deranged press conferences, where he explained his deluded thinking around the continued prosecution of a war that no one has officially declared in the Caribbean. |
| 0:18.6 | Also, his decision to fire off one of the most disgusting bleats imaginable following |
| 0:25.7 | the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle. |
| 0:28.4 | He also covered a few other items. |
| 0:31.3 | I just want to run through them with you. |
| 0:33.9 | No one wants to watch these whole press conferences. |

| 1:32.1 | Fentanyl is used in hospitals. So our hospitals now using a weapon of mass destruction, and I hate to be |
| 1:41.0 | pedantic here, but fentanyl is a pain relief opiate that has legitimate usages. |
| 1:49.5 | Like it is not an atom bomb or sarin gas. |
| 1:53.5 | It shows you a little bit about the rigor with which they are taking this declaration. |
| 1:58.0 | So then the question is, I assume Donald Trump is not planning on invading |
