| 0:05.2 | first of the weekly standard and then at the Bullwork, a founder of an OG original, a bulwark guy. |
| 0:11.8 | Jim Swift, senior editor, collaborator on Morning Shots, Cincinnati Bureau Chief. Is that your most |
| 0:17.1 | important title, would you say? To my fellow Ohioans, it is. |
| 0:37.9 | They're glad that one of us is here, and I sure saw that yesterday when we were hiking around the hills of Cincinnati. How about your portray? Yeah, we'll get to that a second of No Kings.

| 1:27.0 | at the No Kings? |
| 1:28.7 | Sure. Well, I followed the No Kings. It's actually my first one that I've attended, but |
