| 0:00.0 | Equal protection has been restored under U.S. law. Identity politics, which have been merged into American law, well, that's all over now. |
| 0:08.0 | The Justice Department is rolling this back and restoring what used to represent principles of equal protection under the law. |
| 0:14.0 | In other news, the United States has a new national security strategy, and it represents a pretty significant shift, not just in terms of policy, |
