| 0:12.6 | Hey, good day to you, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to The Right Report, Your Daily News, podcast. |
| 0:22.4 | It's Friday's headline brief, heavy on news, light on analysis, launching us into the weekend with events that, as ever, are shaping America and the world. |
| 0:32.5 | We begin with domestic news this morning, starting with good economic news. |
| 0:36.9 | Despite high interest rates and some tough |
| 0:38.9 | economic headwinds, more U.S. consumers bought existing homes last month a lot more than expected. |
