0:00.0	Support for this show comes from the Genesis GB70 Performance SUV. Every Genesis is a reminder
0:07.6	to try something bold to keep growing, keep hustling. At Genesis, they've harnessed all
0:15.0	that excitement of beginnings into their performance SUV, the GB70. It's a car built to turn
0:22.4	heads with stunning design inside and out. It's packed with intuitive technology inside,

1:55.2	particularly because the sort of period of maximum tensions looks like it is likely beyond us.

2:10.4	start on a topic that is about so much more than one person or one set of protests, but really is
2:19.9	woven through American history in a fairly profound way. I don't know. Could I be lame? Ask Jane
