| 0:00.0 | Good morning this Friday, July 22nd, coming to you from our nation's capital, the Bill Press pod with this week's roundtable, early in the morning after the final hearing of the January 6th committee for this summer. And what a blockbuster hearing |
| 0:23.2 | it was. In its first prime time hearing, the committee showed never before seen video of violence |
| 0:30.3 | at the Capitol. Last night, the committee gave us never, never before glimpses into just what |

| 1:51.3 | Americans must all agree on this. |
| 1:54.3 | Donald Trump's conduct on January 6th was a supreme violation of his oath of office and a complete |
