Speaker 1: Together, we will make America great again. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.

Speaker 2: Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts.

Speaker 1: Five-year ban that I've been talking about a lot. It's not a Muslim ban. We're now putting it into effect.

Speaker 3: We have confirmed that FBI Director James Comey has been fired.

Speaker 4: Fired because of the Russia investigation.

Speaker 5: He's a showboat. He's a grandstander. Appointment of a special counsel. Mueller will have leeway to run the investigation as he sees fit.

Speaker 2: And President Trump goes abroad.

Speaker 5: I'm going to be very brief. Thank you.

Speaker 1: They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.

Speaker 2: You will not replace us.

Speaker 1: But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. The president has denied these allegations. Fake news. I watched the news this morning and they were all saying, will he sign it by Christmas? Tax cuts for American families. Happy New Year, everybody.

Speaker 3: President Trump is under fire.

Speaker 5: Quote, why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? Was it hush money to stay silent?

Speaker 3: Yes. Embassy of the United States here in Jerusalem.

Speaker 1: Growing outrage over how the Trump administration treats illegal migrants. Horrible and tough. But just remember, a country without borders is not a country at all. And then they go after us for a Russian hoax. It's a witch hunt hoax. A witch hunt. A total witch hunt. You have these phony witch hunts.

Speaker 5: I am here because I believe it is my civic duty. This confirmation process has become a national disgrace. Something about when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman.

Speaker 2: To negotiate with you about how we can keep the government open. We're going to keep it open if we have border security. If we don't have border security, we're not going to keep it open.

Speaker 6: The longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues.

Speaker 3: The president's former fixer and lawyer said he and Mr. Trump committed crimes together.

Speaker 5: He is a racist, he is a conman, and he is a cheat. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation has just been made available to the American public.

Speaker 1: No collusion, no obstruction.

Speaker 6: We decided we would not make a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.

Speaker 1: We were in Japan for the G20. We came over and I said, hey, I'm over here. I want to call up Chairman Kim. Representative Ilhan Omar. It was going to hit not only Florida but Georgia. It was going toward the Gulf. Syria. We're bringing our soldiers back home and that's a big thing.

Speaker 2: President Trump defending his July phone call with the leader of Ukraine.

Speaker 1: The call was perfect. There was no quid pro quo.

Speaker 2: I'm announcing the House of Representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. Article 1 is adopted.

Speaker 7: A U.S. airstrike has killed Iran's most important military commander.

Speaker 1: Qasem Soleimani ending his evil reign of terror forever.

Speaker 4: This nation is our canvas and this country is our masterpiece.

Speaker 2: Impeachment trial of Donald John Trump, president of the United States. Guilty. Not guilty.

Speaker 1: This is what the end result is.

Speaker 6: The outbreak of a mystery virus in China. We have it totally under control. ER doctors saying we are on the verge of a medical disaster.

Speaker 1: It will go away. Just stay calm. It will probably go away by itself. If we had a vaccine that would be very helpful.

Speaker 6: Our country wasn't built to be shut down. Across this country two crises have converged. Protests over the death of George Floyd and the pandemic.

Speaker 1: The rise and spread of the QAnon conspiracy. I understand they like me very much. Radical left. Who would you like me to condemn? White supremacists and right-wing leftists. Stand back and stand by. And I have a mask right here, you know, when I think I need it.

Speaker 6: The president of the United States tested positive for the coronavirus.

Speaker 1: I didn't feel so good and now I'm better. Don't let it dominate you.

Speaker 3: The wait is over. Election day is finally here. CBS News projects Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States.

Speaker 1: It was a rigged election. The numbers are corrupt. They cheated and they rigged our presidential election, but we will still win it. Let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Speaker 3: The most significant breach of the Capitol since the War of 1812.

Speaker 2: Twitter has permanently suspended President Trump's account. The president of the United States incited this insurrection. Take a no. He must go.

Speaker 5: The first president in history to be impeached twice.
