| 0:00.0 | It's Brian Ler, and this is my daily politics podcast from WNYC Studios. It's Monday, April 13th. |
| 0:14.3 | Good morning, everyone. Hope you had a safe weekend, a happy Easter for those of you who celebrate |
| 0:19.6 | Easter. Today is Monday, for those of you who celebrate Easter. Today is Monday for those of you who |
| 0:22.8 | are losing track. Now, one of the calls we've been getting a lot from Democrats the last few weeks |
| 0:28.4 | is a question, where's Joe Biden? And now that Bernie Sanders has suspended his presidential |
