oh, well, uh, i ll take the first class. class has always played a role in the history of sitcoms. bon voyage laney. class is fascinating to us as a culture. i never check my baggage. i can t stand that wait, baggage area. it s good to laugh at it, to get it all out on the table you re going to have to go back to your seat. you know, our goal should be a society without classes! if we didn t laugh about social class in the united states, we would engage in class warfare. do you realize the people up here are getting cookies?! mmm! that is not a show about nothing. oh, come inside. so, to the left we have the bar, to the right we have the bathroom. oh, we have bathrooms upstairs, downstairs, many, many bathrooms. i do still believe that for all the things going on in our current society in america, you can come from anywhere and end up any place you want. immigration? revenue.

i suppose, to the outsider, we might seem a little unorthodox, but what does this outsider know anyway? who is he to judge us? the whole notion of the outsider. i mean, it s a strand that goes through most sitcoms, i think. you took tongue right out of my mouth. outsiders help us relate as an audience. what are you some kind of nerd? i m not some kind of nerd, i am the king of nerds. [ laughs ] they re seeing everything with fresh eyes. you rang? that dynamic is pretty awesome, it s special. that confidence really made people feel like they could be okay to be whoever they are. did i do that? and i think, if i believe in who i am and own it, i can still be cool. hello? anybody in there? fly, be free! the absolute essence of a successful sitcom is one word, and that is emotion. we abolished emotions on ork a billion bleams ago. they took a vote, and everyone said all in favor? eh. we have a great love for these alien characters who were st
investigators, there were more classified documents beyond what trump turned over to the national archives earlier this year. let s bring in former federal prosecutor michael zeldin. what is your reaction to the reports of an informant here that there was a meeting at mar-a-lago in june, after that meeting someone informed law enforcement that there were more documents that were unsecured? is this a possibility that this informant is from trump s orbit? well, it would make sense that somebody within the trump world, within the mar-a-lago complex, had knowledge of the existence of additional boxes, 12 as we learned, and they decided that it was important to honor the obligations of law enforcement and let them know where these things were and so it went. with all the people coming in and out of mar-a-lago, i mean, you can see why investigators would be concerned if there were documents that would pertain to national security for example. and we know that investigators had
