| 0:00.0 | Hello America and welcome to a new edition of John Solomon reports. The podcast from |
| 0:10.1 | Justin News, we're today Monday, February 8th. We are preparing, I know this feels like |
| 0:16.0 | the movie Groundhog Day, right, with Bill Murray, on another impeachment trial, just a year |
| 0:20.1 | after the last impeachment trial. And you know what, if our reporting is correct, we're |
| 0:24.4 | going to end up at this impeachment trial where we ended up the last time President |
| 0:28.3 | Trump will be acquitted. He'll be considered innocent and American people will again ask, |
