5:17

too old for this of this so you

5:19

know south sea has been doing this job

5:21

so long that his first controversy

5:23

was when congressional republicans accused

5:25

him of making up these germs

5:27

same as

5:32

if he was smart and we know he is

5:34

he's out shopping for like embark alone

6:05

twenty with is accepted that even decision

6:07

makers get to dance and built

6:10

upon us you can tell from

6:12

extraordinarily accurate access through

6:18

six year old woman in finland of named

6:20

santa maria him saying she's gotta

6:22

dance even though she

was easy route prime minister

6:33

first awful

6:35

oh now of the

6:37

prime minister dancing with her friends at a club

6:47

rhythm the she has music and you can't ask

6:49

20:04

morning few has south of harper i'm

and said that was raised k

20:08

a reporter on a business news team

20:34

chair lava

20:47

and now the game where we talked to giants

20:49

of public life about the previous

20:51

things we can think of it is called not my job

20:54

washington d c has a lot of politicians

20:57

in it who say they hate it but

20:59

a politician who absolutely loves washington

21:02

and is loved by it in return

21:04

is eleanor holmes norton who has served

21:06

has congresswoman from the district since

21:09

nineteen ninety one after being

21:11

after pioneer in civil rights law if washington

21:14

ever does get to become a state don't skip

21:16

the whole governor thing and immediately

21:18

elector m p

21:48

your fault not true even to deny

21:50

27:02

the question is what do you know about dc comics

27:26

right bill who is congresswoman

27:28

norton playing andrew young children

27:31

of herndon virginia

27:35

here's your first question while primarily

27:38

known for like i said batman superman dc

27:40

comics also has a stable of lesser

27:43

known superheroes including

27:46

which of these one of these is a real superego

27:48

appeared in dc comics pay

27:51

the human torch but british who

27:53

28:22

it's not see because every

28:24

man is

28:25

erupted man

28:32

because it's a none

28:35

of those one , them on

28:40

a seaman human torch for

28:42

british torch for physical sciences he's just

28:44

sciences fancy that's your choice of

28:47

has influenced morris

28:50

29:00

here here's

29:02

the next question has emerged as as in the late
