| 0:09.8 | Forum, narrating today's article written by Dr. Jim Denison. Former President Trump did a live interview |
| 0:17.1 | last night with Elon Musk on X. Though the event was plagued with technical difficulties, |
| 0:22.7 | more than one million people listened to their wide-ranging conversation on immigration, |
