| 0:00.0 | This is CBS I On The World. I'm John Batchett with Elizabeth Peek of the Hill |
| 0:08.7 | Occalments of Fox News Occalments, much on Fox Business. We've been commenting on |
| 0:13.0 | the banking crisis that started with the failure of a banking in California and |
| 0:19.0 | between Friday when the bank was taken over by regulators and these next |
| 0:24.4 | hours the confidence of the American people depend upon the confidence of |
| 0:29.6 | their leaders and it's a measure not of partisan politics but of what was |
