| 0:14.3 | Now here's today's news, discerned differently. |
| 0:19.7 | House Democrats voted last night to call for President Trump's removal from office |
| 0:25.0 | through the 25th Amendment. Vice President Pence declined to act on their request, stating that the |
| 0:31.1 | amendment was intended to address medical emergencies or presidential incapacity, and that using it as a means of punishment would set a |
| 0:39.6 | terrible precedent. In response, the House is set to vote this morning on a resolution to impeach |
| 0:45.6 | the president. Currently, 82% of Democrats support impeaching Mr. Trump, joined by 47% of independence |

| 1:46.1 | January 6th riots. Let's consider two especially relevant examples. One, presidents and all people |
| 1:54.2 | are accountable before God and others. In Romans 1412, the Bible teaches that each of us will give an account of himself to God. |
| 2:04.4 | Jesus was clear in Matthew 1236. |
| 2:07.9 | On the day of judgment, people will give account for every careless word they speak. |
