Great show. Many, many people really love it. Cops, criminals. Good guys on both sides. And they have great plans, really great plans. I’d like to try those plans._ I just spent a moment checking the S&P of my hypothetical (and quite possible) Trump comment, then I realized S&P don’t matter for quoting him. He probably thinks they’re green stamps, anyway. ---
