0:06.8	grassroots support because BDS is a global grassroots movement. It doesn't work unless millions of people support it.
0:16.0	What's going on everybody?
0:25.0	France, Romans, countrymen.
0:27.0	Welcome to the Bituation Room Podcast live.
0:31.0	I am your host for Jessica Fiorentini. My God, we've got a good show today.
