| 0:13.3 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:14.4 | Coming up later this hour, a monthly call, your senator's segment with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. |
| 0:19.8 | My questions and yours for New York's junior |

| 0:33.1 | Gillibrand is a bill that she's introduced in response to the Supreme Court ruling last week, |
