| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to the Bill Press Pod and welcome to this week's roundtable. |
| 0:12.7 | Looking back on the news of the week on this Friday morning, November 22nd, around 845 AM. |
| 0:24.3 | There were two blockbuster stories this week in Atlanta. |
| 0:29.6 | Ten Democratic candidates for president met for the fifth in a series of presidential debates, |
| 0:35.7 | but what could have been a big night in Atlanta was completely overshadowed by what was happening in Washington, where a whole hassle of witnesses |
| 0:39.5 | testified in the House impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, all career diplomats, |

| 1:41.0 | Jen, you were there? I think they did. They really were able to solidify. |
| 1:46.6 | You know, we had kind of two parallel arguments, one that the Trump administration held up a White House meeting in order to get these investigations. |
| 1:56.9 | And they really solidified that one. I mean, Sondland in particular testified Wednesday that |
| 2:01.9 | that was the quid pro quo. He knew about it. Everybody knew about it. They were less able to |
| 2:09.3 | solidify their argument that the military aid was being held up. I mean, Sondland was their best |
