00:00A new study suggests the nation may be living through a constitutional crisis.
00:04Researchers found that nearly eight out of every 10 swear words used by American presidents over
00:09the last century have come in just the past 10 years. And the biggest contributors? President
00:15Trump and former President Joe Biden. The two leaders are responsible for spitting out 538
00:21of the curse words used in the 692 documented cases of presidential potty mouth since Woodrow
00:27Wilson. That's 78 percent. Trump has made headlines more than once for his colorful language. Most
00:33recently, promising to, and I'm cleaning this up a bit, beat the effing S out of Iran. That was just
00:38this week. Biden, meanwhile, kept his public language a little more G-rated, but he has had a few hot
00:45mic
00:45moments of his own over the years. And it's not just the White House. Just this week, Ohio Senator
00:49Bernie Moreno dropped an F-bomb while grilling Dr. Anthony Fauci. In that moment, it went quickly
00:55viral. The researcher behind this study says there may actually be a political strategy at work here,
01:00arguing that talking a little like, say, Tony Soprano may make politicians sound more authentic
01:05to voters.
