I bet if we added up all the time David spends telling us what is coming up compared to the actually news event, the foreshadowing would be longer than the actual segment.

Trump to You, How can a active convicted criminal sex offender speak on crime?

[chrisfalke]

Why didn’t you cover the huge protest going outside where ur broadcasting from?

[cymbolichuman]

It was a good move for the Democratic Party to pass the torch to younger Candidates.

Hey David, show us out side the convention and how peaceful they are

[michaelstoerzinger]

I haven’t heard either party say that they will help those who have a disability find jobs in any establishment. Why?

[Trumpulator]

Think how many ancient oats and ships went down in antiquity in unknown storms.

[cynthia]

Thank you ABC and David for your hard work!!💪

It's true that the numbers on violent crimes are down, but it's not because there are fewer of them, it's because victims are urged to forget reporting them since they're unwitnessed. The police say, "Hey, what can we do? We didn't see any of it so it's useless to make a report. Don't waste your (our) time..."

[redgree]

What can a criminal convicted felon say about crime. Just curious.
