| 0:20.0 | Hey, everybody. This is JVL here with my bulwark colleague, Andrew Agar. We're going to talk |
| 0:26.5 | about this weird thing CNN has where they're trying to cover for Donald Trump. Before we do it, |
| 0:33.1 | though, go ahead, hit like, hit subscribe, follow the channel. |
| 0:39.6 | It helps us more than you could possibly know. |
| 0:50.2 | Okay, so Andrew, this morning my ears pricked up when John Berman of CNN had on one of the Democrats on the Oversight Committee. |
