| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to the Bill Press Pod and welcome to this week's |
| 0:11.5 | Reporter's Roundtable. It's been another wild week in Washington with many twists and turns. |
| 0:18.8 | While we're still reeling from last week's assault on the Capitol, the House |
| 0:22.7 | of Representatives voted to impeach Donald Trump, making him the only president to be impeached |
| 0:28.5 | twice, and setting him up for a Senate trial where he could become the only president ever to be |

| 1:47.4 | house, but still impeaching Donald Trump. This was a big deal this week. It's a big deal, |
| 1:55.5 | particularly because it was a bipartisan impeachment and the cause of it, the driver of it, is something that everybody |
| 2:02.6 | can understand. It's not about some phone call to someone in Ukraine. It's not about |
| 2:08.7 | a campaign issue. It was a riot. It was all caught from dozens of angles on video for people to see. |
