| 0:06.9 | Welcome back to Unbiased Politics. Today is Thursday, January 29th. Let's talk about some news. |
| 0:12.5 | We've got a lot to cover today, so let's just get right into it. We will start the episode with |
| 0:18.1 | some developments related to the Alex Pretty shooting. And there are quite a few, |
