1:25.5	And since Trump won and since Donald Trump has been sworn in, that's all I've heard even more.
1:33.4	Democrats from just voters, from just regular people from independence who can't stand Trump and can't stand what Trump and Musk are doing, what they say more than anything
1:41.0	is, Joe, I just want people who will fight.

2:15.3	I mean, maybe at this point right now, that that alone is the reason that every single Senate Democrat today should say, fuck, no, and vote against this Republican spending bill and say, hell no, and
