| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Jim Denison with Dennis Informed, and this is the Daily Article for Friday, September 28, 2018. |
| 0:07.8 | In breaking news, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote this morning on whether to recommend Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the full Senate. |
| 0:16.6 | I watched yesterday's committee hearings. The senators were sharply contentious, the two witnesses |
| 0:21.3 | were deeply emotional. As conflicted as the day was, however, this thought prevailed in my mind. |
| 0:27.3 | The process worked. An American citizen was able to bring her concerns about a federal judge |
| 0:32.6 | and now Supreme Court nominee before United Statesators charged with investigating his candidacy. |
| 0:38.3 | He was able to respond publicly to her allegations. The number of countries across world history, |
| 0:43.3 | where such a scene would be possible, is indeed small. |

| 1:23.2 | I find that they're not true without looking further than myself. I don't deserve a share in governing |
| 1:28.5 | a hand-roost, much less a nation, end quote. Lewis concluded, quote, mankind is so fallen that no man |
| 1:35.3 | can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. The best government is one that holds |
| 1:41.1 | leaders accountable, not dynastic rule in North Korea, or one-party |
| 1:45.7 | rule is in China, or one-man government as in Russia. But we also need a system in which leaders |
