| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, good day, good friends, and welcome to this week's |
| 0:10.8 | Reporters Roundtable on the Bill Press spot, where we analyze the big news in the week |
| 0:15.7 | with three of Washington's top political reporters, and what a week it turned out to be. |
| 0:22.7 | For once, it was not the current or next president who captured all the media attention, but former president, Jimmy Carter, |
| 0:29.1 | who died December 29 at the age of 100. For almost two days, Washington stopped to honor Carter |
| 0:37.0 | with a solemn ceremony in the Capitol |

| 1:30.5 | Joining us, Philip Bump, National columnist for the Washington Post, and author of the |
| 1:34.9 | How to Read This Chart Newsletter. |
| 1:36.9 | Hello, Philip. |
| 1:37.6 | Welcome back. |
