| 0:16.7 | This is a CVS Island the World. I'm John Bachelor. The US Government, digitalization, transferring all that information, all that skill over to the world of the cloud and then eventually AI. |
| 0:20.0 | It's underway, and I welcome Francis Rose, the host of FedGov today, a podcast on Wednesday, a TV show on Channel 7 in the nation's capital on Sunday morning at 1030. |
| 0:31.0 | To introduce us to this transformation process being led by Claire |
| 0:36.2 | Martyrana, the chief information officer of the United States of America. |
| 0:41.9 | Francis, a very good evening to you. |
