| 0:06.4 | Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, September 16th, and people have been getting scolded, called out, suspended, fired. |
| 0:16.2 | And now they are getting arrested and expelled from school for being critical of Charlie Kirk |
| 0:25.0 | and in some cases mocking his death. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Roves, |
