| 0:00.0 | 77 Wab, B, C. This is sit-in friends in the morning. |
| 0:09.5 | Governor Kathy Hokel will deliver her 2825 state of the state speech. |
| 0:13.5 | The governor has been promoting her affordability agenda to help address the burdens many New Yorkers are facing with the cost of living. |
