| 0:00.0 | Hey, I'm Scott Schaefer. |
| 0:02.0 | And I'm Marisa Lagos. |
| 0:03.0 | We host political breakdown. |
| 0:04.5 | With the 2024 election over and President Trump in the White House, there's going to be a lot to keep up with this year. |
| 0:10.3 | Political breakdown has got you covered. |
| 0:12.2 | We'll bring smart analysis, a wide range of voices, and even some laughs. |
