| 0:00.0 | Now it's time for the Ancerman podcast with Matt Gates and Pearson Sharp. |
| 0:16.5 | Welcome back to The Anchorman Show. |
| 0:18.2 | I'm Matt Gates, host of the Matt Gates Show here on One America News News every weeknight, 9 o'clock Eastern, 6 o'clock Pacific. |
| 0:25.6 | And I am joined by my good buddies, Pearson Sharp and David Pollock. We are comfy, cozy today hanging out here at the One American News mothership in San Diego. As we break down some of the stuff we've been following and covering. |
| 0:39.0 | And what a week. It's been a week of condolences and mourning over the loss of the late |
| 0:44.9 | senator from South Carolina. Lindsay Graham, somebody I knew, spent time with, negotiated |
