| 0:00.0 | This is CVSI on the World. I'm John Bachelor, Professor Evan Ellis, the U.S. Army War College |
| 0:10.0 | Mexico. A major, major success for for Claudia Shinebaum, former mayor of Mexico City, now president-elect of Mexico. |
| 0:19.0 | Professor, the headline from Reuters, Mexico Shinebaum backs Lopez-oprador's judicial reform. |
| 0:28.0 | She says, quote, nothing to worry about. |
