| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to your extra morning news show. My name is Philip |
| 0:03.1 | DeFranco and today we're going to be talking about something that is |
| 0:05.2 | definitely going to get us demonetized. |
| 0:07.1 | The shout out to all of you that support us over at de Franco elite.com |
| 0:10.1 | and maybe support us as of today with de Franco elite. dot com. But that said today we're gonna be talking about |
