All right So the following phrases that after a fumble
- 00:22
here i'll just read ok was the paragraph about people
- 00:24
running late for shadow And i think i've got a
- 00:26
final washington right after a little greeting from adam's present
- 00:27
like moved about overlooking wall street So that's that how
- 00:32
are we thinking about this rephrasing it Should we deleted
- 00:36
or keep it Well actually kind of cool adam's fumbling
- 00:39
and greeting and that sounds like kind of the opening
- 00:42
to a sitcom you know like a like a big
- 00:44
washington theory something that well though the thirty second vice
- 00:48
president of the u s said that the vice presidency
- 00:51
isn't worth quote a warm bucket of spit Yes he

- 01:12
This essay makes it sound like no one really knew
- 01:15
what to do when it came to inaugurating a us
- 01:17
president that's probably because that it had never been done
- 01:19
before not because people were incompetent so well this clause
- 01:23
doesn't sound like a dis toward adams So yeah that
- 01:26
or a compliment directed at washington you know that the
- 01:29
overall topic of the paragraph is the lead up to
- 01:32
the oath of office And while this detail about the
- 01:35
right hand man to leader of the entire country is
- 01:38
relevant Yeah so keep it after a fumbled greeting from
- 01:41
adam's Hopefully the offense will pick up the ball Keep 00:01:44.919 --> [endTime] running down Playing in a band
