| 0:00.0 | Good evening. This is John Batche. The show begins tonight in Appalachia. My conversation with |
| 0:05.9 | Selina Zito of the Washington Examiner and the Wall Street Journal. The 423 counties of Appalachia stretching from Mississippi to |
| 0:15.4 | New York. The heat of it is Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The candidate for the Vice Presidency on the GOP line is |
| 0:25.4 | JD Vance from Appalachia. He grew up in Middletown where his mother moved |
| 0:30.9 | after being raised in Kentucky is my belief. He returned to his grandparents |
