No, that's not the start of a joke...

One of them found the remote to the lobby TV to change from the weather channel to Fox so he could watch "The Five."

This was during Drumpf's first reign. Something apparently happened while the priests were driving from MN to IA and one of them couldn't wait until he got checked into his hotel room to hear what the geniuses on The Five had to say about it. It was kind of pathetic.

After they left, I changed it back to the weather.
