| 0:00.0 | Good day from Washington. I'm Chuck Todd and this is the Chuck Todd cast this past week |
| 0:10.2 | as Democrats rolled out their star witnesses in the impeachment inquiry and their star candidates |
| 0:14.4 | on the debate stage. It's been well nothing but a lot of political action as they say. But |
| 0:18.9 | well, any of this actually moved the needle whether politically and impeachment or politically |
| 0:23.5 | on the debate stage. Last night, 37-year-old Pete Buttigieg shown on the center stage following |
| 0:28.3 | his surge to front-runner status in Iowa and perhaps New Hampshire while another |
| 0:31.6 | poll winner Joe Biden celebrated his 77th birthday that day by well, acting a little too old |

| 1:28.0 | line to the Democratic debate in Atlanta, part of the political unit and part of the team that |

| 1:36.8 | You know what that means? We still had the weeks not over. I'm off Friday. So you guys, |
| 1:40.8 | best of all. Yeah, this is your smile. This is my weekend. This is literally when you're done here, |
