| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, February 3rd. What to expect next week at the Historic Senate |
| 0:04.1 | impeachment trial. Both sides have now turned in their official arguments. Also a rare |
| 0:08.8 | honor for a fallen police officer and where the federal government will soon send COVID vaccines |
| 0:14.0 | for the first time. Plus, why Amazon's billionaire founder plans to step down as CEO, |
| 0:19.5 | which delivery company Uber is taking over now and the reason behind Nike's new hands-free sneakers. |
| 0:25.6 | Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy, all the days news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, |

| 1:24.0 | is protected by freedom of speech in the first amendment. For example, when Trump told the crowd to |
| 1:28.6 | quote, fight like hell, lawyers say he did not mean literally fight, like get violent, but to fight |
| 1:34.0 | for election security in general. House Democrats say it doesn't matter what Trump meant, |
| 1:38.5 | but that his speech did incite violence. Trump's lawyers also argue it's not constitutional to hold |
| 1:44.1 | an impeachment trial for a former president that's no longer in office. And there's another point, |
