  Speaker 4: right in the center of the dome on the overpass.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: It's an open space twelve x thirty six that would

  Speaker 4: can play music under that dome.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It's it was a terrible, terrible situation. I think you're
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: getting a little carried away with this. It's a terrible
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: terrible situation. Instead of worrying about that, let's worry about
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: doing something to patrol these subways. We need more protection there,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: although it's gotten better. We need Curtis, the Guardian Angels,

  Speaker 5: They gave no coverage to the great escape of Maria Machado,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: who of course was elected first to become the president
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: of Venezuela. It wasn't to happen. She now had, you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: was escaping to receive the Nobel Prize winner for being
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: the opposition leader there. Why didn't she get any coverage?
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: It's unbelievable.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Well, do the math. She's a big Trump supporter. She
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: shared her Nobel prize with Donald Trump. She likes Trump.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: She's the good of Venezuelan leader, the one currently there.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Maduro is the crooked, corrupt. So guess guess who the

  Speaker 1: fake news is defending. Guess which one promoting? Take it again.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Maduro is supporting Iranian oil, He's supporting the drug cartel.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Guess which one NBC likes, The one who wants to
