Hey, everybody. Im chris cuomo. Welcome back to a bonus hour of prime time. Were back to more bs from the president today that he has powers that are not granted to him by the constitution. Last month he declared total authority to liberate states. That was not true and neither is this. Some governors have deemed Liquor Stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out churches and other houses of worship. Thats not right. So im correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential. I call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now.

Now, remember, this is the same president who wanted churches packed by easter sunday. Tens of thousands have died since then.

I think there are many reasons you would be a great parent. Many i wouldnt. No, i think youll be a great parent. I think what you know about yourself
