How to use hour in a sentence?

  1. Joe Biden:

    At this hour, our democracy's under unprecedented assault, unlike anything we've seen in modern times. An assault on the citadel of liberty, the Capitol itself, this is not dissent, it's disorder. It's chaos. It borders on sedition, and it must end now. I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward.

  2. Mr Garbutt:

  3. Damon Wayans:

    Tell the truth, if I was him, I would divorce my wife, give her all my money and then I would go do a deposition. I would light one of [those] three-hour cigars. I'd have some wine and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don't believe that he was raping. I believe he was in relationships with all of them, and then he's like, 'You know what? It's 78. It don't work like that no more. I can't get it up for any of y'all. Bye, b**ches,' and then they're like, 'Oh, really? Rape!'.

  4. Lothian Skelton:

    He was heartbroken when CBS let him go because of demographics, and that was because of the change in comedy at the time, he moved on to NBC for a half-hour show. And although the shows were good, the ratings weren’t quite the same. In a half hour, he just couldn’t be the way he used to be. So in 1971, he decided to do personal appearances, whether they were in nightclubs or universities. He was easily doing 70 concerts a year…He lived a good, solid, all-American home life…That extended Red’s life, and for that I will always be grateful.

  5. Fred Trotter:

    In less than an hour, I had extremely personal information that could be used against these women, the kinds of things that they don't tell their husbands about in some cases.
