| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to New World next week. |
| 0:11.8 | I'm James Corbett of Corbett Report.com. |
| 0:13.6 | And I'm James Evan Palado for Mediamonickey.com. My rules are more important than not harming you. |
| 0:19.3 | We've got that story plus shifting sanctions on Syria, but first, pucker up, Buttercup. |
| 0:23.6 | Ohio Chernobyl engulfs East Palestine as residents report health problems. |
| 0:28.6 | Nearly two weeks after a Norfolk Southern Railway freight train with 150 cars, |

| 1:39.3 | ethyl hexylacrylate, and isobutylene, has released what some described as a chemical nuclear bomb that |
