| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the B. We begin with new exclusive footage. The Fulton County Sheriff taking NBC through this |
| 0:06.1 | actual intake area where defendant Donald Trump was processed and booked. You were looking at that actual room from our actual |
| 0:13.5 | cameras. This is brand new footage, the very wall where he stood for the mug shot that went around the world. |
| 0:21.6 | We were ready for the moment and the women and men of the Fulton County Sheriff's office really stood |
| 0:27.5 | firm in the belief of professionalism. He said I recognized you from TV and me being from |
| 0:36.5 | South Western land, I couldn't help but say likewise, right? And so ultimately turned them over to |
