John Kennedy & Other Louisiana Politicians Who Wanted to Be President

Well, it's interesting news today, Ronna.

Yes

... book about Washington, v- and the guy is full of humor.

Uh, he must have someone on his staff full time that just goes and puts the humor together.

But, uh-

It's amazing the videos that I've seen in the last, I would say two to three months.

He started doing these videos from home.

Last week he was showing how to fold his boxer shorts.

[laughs] I haven't seen the-
