| 0:15.0 | Welcome back to the second hour of our program. |
| 0:18.0 | Congressman Roquehanna is here with us for the hour taking your calls. |
| 0:22.0 | He is the Vice chair of the Congressional |
| 0:24.4 | Progressive Caucus. He represents the 17th District of the state of California |
| 0:28.2 | generally known as Silicon Valley. His website is K-H-A-N-A-D-A-D-H-N-A-D-H-N-A-D-H-N-A-D-H-N-A-D-H-N-A-D-H-N-A-O-G-O-G-O-G-G, and you can tweet him at Rep Row-O-K-O-K-O-V.coma, impeachment is not just a in this moment event that we are still looking back on the |
