| 0:00.0 | She didn't know it at the time, but this was how my guest on this week's show ended her final monologue as a late-night host. |
| 0:08.1 | I can't describe how painful it is to be here now in a place where the Supreme Court has the power to erase 50 years of constitutional law. |
| 0:16.9 | Make no mistake, this is not where it ends. |
| 0:19.3 | Conservatives will not rest until they have come for all of our rights. |
| 0:22.5 | Everything we have fought for could be lost unless we take it back. It's not just about voting in November. |

| 1:42.6 | We talk about how she found out the show had been canceled, |
