| 0:00.0 | The World Economic Forum at Davos is underway, and the rulers of the universe are hard at work. |
| 0:04.7 | The Department of Justice declines to monitor the Biden team's search for classified documents, |
| 0:08.7 | and Greta Thunberg is detained by the police. |
| 0:11.3 | I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. |
| 0:18.7 | Well, some protesters are true heroes. |
| 0:22.4 | Some protesters are the heroes of our age. |
