0:10.0	Come on now.
0:11.3	I mean, we are trying some new things.
0:14.6	Let us know in the comments, what you think.
0:16.5	I want to start where I always start.
0:19.4	I think what the Trump administration is doing right now is just not a series of one-offs, Mr. Daniels. It is connected. It is all pointed at November.

That's the experts that say it. The Iran War has us burning through munitions at a rate. Nobody that cares about it is comfortable with trust.
1:44.9	I'm very uncomfortable and I'm not an expert but I just I know when to be uncomfortable.
1:48.6	You know an expert or too.
