| 0:06.2 | and we're going to talk about intimidation and what's happening in America today and particularly |
| 0:11.7 | on the college campus. It's my, my guest today is an extraordinary hero, Caitlin Gorgon. Welcome to |
| 0:19.0 | their show Caitlin. Hi Mr. Kennedy, thank you so much for having me on the show. I'm so grateful |
| 0:25.1 | to be here and to share my story with you all today. I'm a graduate student from |
