| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends, and welcome to a special bonus edition of the Bill Press pod. |
| 0:11.1 | I'm here with my producer, Jay Feldman. |
| 0:14.1 | He's got a few questions about how I saw the first Democratic debate, Jay. |
| 0:20.0 | Well, Bill, all eyes were on Elizabeth Warren tonight. |
