| 0:00.0 | Well the presidential race is deadlocked with just over a week left of voting. |
| 0:04.6 | For more on the race for the White House, we turn tonight to the analysis of Brooks and |
| 0:08.4 | Granderson. |
| 0:09.4 | That's New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Los Angeles Times opinion columnist L. Z. Granderson, Jonathan |
