| 0:17.0 | The Armstrong and Getty Show. |
| 0:25.0 | The World Champions, another decisive and historic victory, a $24 million settlement that aims to write wrongs and forge a new future for women's soccer. |
| 0:36.0 | The end of a six-year-long legal battle, pitting the four-time World Cup winning US Women's National Team members against US Soccer, coming with the sports governing body saying it has committed to providing equal rate of pay going forward for the women's and men's national football. |
| 0:54.0 | You have a weird way of talking, lady, too breathy. |
| 0:57.0 | Not only that, but that was an editorial. That wasn't a news report. |
| 1:01.0 | No, we'll talk more about that in a second. Let's hear from a couple of the biggest stars of the game, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. |
