| 0:16.7 | Brian there on WNYC it's been four days since President Biden's feisty State of the Union address between that and the Super Tuesday election results last week for him and Donald Trump. |
| 0:21.2 | It is now almost fully general election season already, |
| 0:24.8 | and it's only March 11th. |
| 0:26.2 | But Trump has his legal issues to contend with, |
| 0:29.3 | and Biden has ongoing and perhaps growing dissatisfaction with his role in the war in Gaza. |
| 0:35.7 | On weekend edition yesterday for the first day of Ramadan, they played this clip of a Palestinian |
| 0:41.3 | American from San Francisco named Marwansebaita who is beginning the daily fasting ritual but thinking about his relatives back in Central Gaza. |
