| 0:00.0 | Seanatova, the theory of impeachment keeps changing. Democrats keep pushing full steam ahead, |
| 0:04.8 | and President Trump continues to lash out in all directions. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. |
| 0:14.6 | So when last we left, our impeachment story last Friday, I was preparing for Russia, Sean. |
| 0:19.4 | I figured not much would happen over the weekend. |
| 0:21.5 | And it turns out not much did happen over the weekend, except that the theory of impeachment keeps |
