0:34.7	Hey everyone, I'm David Chalien, the CNN political director. This is the Daily DC impeachment watch.
0:41.1	We've taken the podcast on the road today. We're recording in the freezing cold of Des Moines, Iowa, though not terribly cold in this hotel room, where we're preparing for tomorrow's Democratic debate at Drake University.
