To adore the conqueror, who now beholds Cherub and seraph rolling in the flood.

Not only is he my broadcast partner, but we travel together so much, he's become like my best friend.

And furthermore did you know that behind the discovery of America there was a Jewish financier?

I don't care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing.
