What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWelcome to BBN USA! The New York Times reports President Trump will announce an investment in a Maryland submarine facility. Maryland, my favorite state today!

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Times says the deal is meant to show he's focused on a main campaign pledge: bringing back manufacturing jobs. Submarines! Jobs! Crab cakes, probably!

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, I have been inside a submarine. In a port I was asked to leave. The coffee was terrible and so were the speeches.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGloria, that's incredible. Do you think the Maryland sub gets a snack bar? Every great American project needs a snack bar.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, it is a defense facility. If there is a snack bar, it is classified and the pretzels are expired.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the New York Times says Republicans are spending to aid Darline Graham as the South Carolina Senate race tightens. Tight race!

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLike my favorite jeans!

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, campaign ads are the only thing in America that gets louder when the polls get closer. It is like a goat in Mongolia.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGloria, I will not ask about the goat. I will ask if South Carolina has a drive-through voting booth. Back to the desk!
