| 0:00.0 | This is Bill Press and Friends on the District Productive Network. |
| 0:11.8 | As you know, there is an important and very, very important political decision that's going to be made this week. |
| 0:23.4 | And that, of course, is the election for a new chair of the Democratic National Committee. You know, I've been around this |
| 0:28.3 | democratic politics for a long time. I never remember. Usually it's the president who appoints |
| 0:33.9 | the chair of the DNC or the RNC, like President Trump appointed Mitt Romney's niece |
| 0:42.0 | to lead the RNC this year, the new chair, to take Reinsprev's place. I don't even know her name, |
