| 0:08.8 | This is the Michael Medved Show. |
| 0:11.5 | And another great day in this greatest nation on God's Green Earth. |
| 0:15.3 | A great day when the U.S. Senate, however you see the decision they're about to make, is going to be making a decision |
| 0:25.2 | today, maybe not a final decision, but a very significant one historically. They're going to be |
| 0:30.9 | voting on President Donald Trump's decision to embark on a war against Iran. |
