| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Next Up, all you Nexters. It's Thursday. You know what that means. It's time for another |
| 0:07.7 | episode of this program. I'm Mark Halperin, editor-in-chief of the live interactive video platform |
| 0:13.0 | two-way, host of this program. Today's program is going to be a little bit different than usual. |
| 0:18.0 | Normally, I do a long monologue here, my reported monologue telling you |
| 0:21.3 | my perspective and reporting on something in the news. But today, it's going to be different. |
| 0:27.2 | I continue to be struck by how little we're hearing the voice of Charlie Kirk on video. |
