| 0:00.0 | Hello America and welcome to a new edition of John Solomon reports. |
| 0:09.5 | The podcast from Justin News where today we have a very important guest. |
| 0:14.2 | Ken Star, the former solicitor general of the United States, a former federal appeals |
| 0:18.6 | court judge and of course most famously the Whitewater Independent Council who investigated |
