| 0:00.0 | If it's Monday, the search for suspects intensifies in Baltimore after 30 people were shot |
| 0:08.4 | too fatally at a block party this weekend as a city and a nation struggled to address the |
| 0:14.1 | intensifying issue of gun violence. Plus, former President Trump and a crowded field of |
| 0:20.7 | Republican candidates sounded off on culture war issues, |
| 0:24.5 | spotlighted by the Supreme Court, and a video promoted by the DeSantis campaign, |
| 0:29.5 | touting his targeting of transgender individuals. |
| 0:33.9 | And White House officials are monitoring an increasingly violent and deadly situation in the Mideast after Israeli forces launched multiple drone strikes and sending ground troops to the West Bank city of Junine, calling it a counter-terror operation. |
| 1:12.2 | Yeah. Welcome to meet the press now. I'm Kristen Welker. We are once again facing the fallout from a weekend of gun violence as the nation grapples with the mass shooting crisis that has become tragically American. |

| 2:21.0 | Now, just hours after the shooting in Baltimore, seven people were shot when a gunman opened fire in a nightclub in Wichita, Kansas. |
