0:00.0	Good evening. This country is exhausted for all or part of five centuries and for the
0:05.1	third time ever our president will be impeached in all likelihood this week, possibly Wednesday.
0:10.6	That alone makes this week historic. But so too do the decisions the Republicans and Democrats
0:15.4	make along the way. These decisions are not just minor territorial squirmishes. They are
