“Is anybody else having trouble with right side? My feed is frozen and can’t find trump on the new television channels my son set up for us.”
Mine froze up, too - but it’s working now. You might want to try again.
I’d ask “WOODSTOCK” but he’s stopped in to visit SNOOPY this afternoon. I think he’s going to spend the night in the Dog House.
Donald has given “WOODSTOCK” the evening off.
My feed only shows the crowd, the Trump podium, the flags and music is playing.
Am I behind the times?

Trump in voice only announced that he can no longer wait while thousands outside are still trying to get in, so he will start right now.
Then he came out to the stage.
