What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBreitbart says President Trump vowed Friday to protect Christopher Columbus from the radical left.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHe accused Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of wanting to abolish Columbus Day.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentJoining us from a parking garage is a source familiar with the matter. Sir, why are you in a garage?

  4. Gary Plunkett-MossI can't say. Level three, near the pillar with the pigeon stain. If anyone asks, we never spoke, and I was never here.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, you're on live television. Okay, what do you know about the Columbus Day claim?

  6. Gary Plunkett-MossI know everything. Well, I know a guy who knows a guy who once parked next to a guy who knows. So, nothing, basically.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBreitbart's summary only says Trump accused El-Sayed of wanting to abolish the holiday. Does your guy know if that's true?

  8. Gary Plunkett-MossMy guy says the holiday is safe. Or in danger. He was talking while a car alarm went off, so, either.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSir, the car alarm is going off right now. Is that your car?

  10. Gary Plunkett-MossIt's a rental. I'm not allowed to say which company. Also, I think I'm lost. Is this level three or level four?

  11. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou're our most informed source tonight, and that's a scary sentence. Is there anything on the record?

  12. Gary Plunkett-MossOn the record, I need a ticket validated. Off the record, I also need a ride. Please don't use my name. I don't have one.

  13. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe'll have to leave it there. Our source is lost in a garage, which honestly beats most of the political coverage tonight.
