time for me to say good-bye, i'm dara brown, i'll be back tomorrow on "msnbc live." now stay with frances rivera. good morning, dara. in new york at msnbc world headquarters. it's 7:00 in the east. 4:00 out west. day four of the impeachment inquiry and democrats have entered a new phase, there are several critical and rapid developments in the last 24 hours from capitol hill to the white house. here's a snapshot of what's transpired here on msnbc. we bring you the latest. >> it is day one now, right? day one of the impeachment inquiry's new and public face. >> explosive new testimony, testimony morrison, the former national security council senior director for europe testified he was told by top diplomat gordon

sondland that a package of military assistance for ukraine would not be released until the country committed to investigations into the bidens. >> the urgent inquiry into the impeachment is growing for democrats, the timeline is sha rinching. >> my republican colleagues in the white house have obstructed the investigation. >> we have breaking news, multiple outlets are reported that lieutenant colonel vinland testified that when he brought concerns about president trump's phone call to the nsc's top lawyer, that lieutenant colonel vinland was told by the lawyer, don't tell anyone about it. >> house democrats have scheduled outgoing energy secretary rick perry to provide testimony to the impeachment committee. >> donald trump went on the attack, while speaking in tupelo, mississippi. >> the democrats voted to potentially nullify the votes of 63 million americans, disgracing

themselves and bringing shame upon the house of representatives. >> speaker nancy pelosi saying there's no deadline to finish the investigation, telling bloomberg any case made to impeach the president quote has to be iron-clad. >> we'll break down the day's biggest stories, but first, big headline we're following this morning. nbc news confirming reports that alexander vinman, a member of the national security council, told congress he was instructed to keep quiet about the phone call between president trump and ukrainian president zelensky. a top white house lawyer told vinman not to discuss his concerns about the phone call with anyone outside the white house. that lawyer, john isenberg is scheduled to testify before house investigators next week. joining me now, a senior reporter for business insider

and daniel lipman. reporter for the washington reporter. this new headline about vinman, is he the most damaging witness so far on this impeachment inquiry? >> it's difficult to say, it seems like every new witness is the most damaging witness so far. considering the revelations we've heard. it started with bill taylor, the chief envoy to ukraine. alexander vindman is unique because he was he was one of the officials who directly listened in on this phone call. and so he was able to corroborate you know significant portions of the whistle-blower's complaint. now in addition to that we're seeing the "washington post" reporting that vindman was told to conceal details of the phone call from the top lawyer on the national security council. so it's interesting because he is central to both the phone call itself and subsequent

efforts to cover it up. so in that sense he is perhaps the most damaging so far. >> wanting to fill in the blanks, so left from those elipses we saw in the summary. daniel since he was actually on the phone call, no longer hearsay, does that change the president's line of defense? or is there any line of defense? >> it makes it harder for president trump to actually defend what he said on this phone call. reduces it, takes away a talking point that republicans had been using to defend the guy, because you have all of these firsthand people who are coming forward and talking to congressional impeachment investigators about their major issues with this phone call. and president trump has talked about having a fireside chat where he reads the transcript in front of everyone. you know all the american people. but hard to see that republicans would want that, either.

because the transcript is damaging as well. >> we heard from the president, familiar territory, speaking in tupelo, mississippi. the first time that he's been out there in that setting since this inquiry. did we hear anything from him that changes the defense narrative. he was pouncing on the democrats, tieing it to 2020. but what did you hear? >> it's really hard for him to continue to claim that this was a perfect phone call. because it's been contradicted not just by the whistle-blower's complaint, the white house summary, the white house chief of staff, the acting chief of staff admitting it was a quid pro quo and this cascade of testimony from witnesses often in defiance of the white house's direct orders who have come forward to say there was something problematic about the phone call. and also if it wasn't problematic then why did the white house's top lawyers go to such lengths to conceal what was said. >> we have a robust busy week

coming up. testimony there and also nancy pelosi talking about what's to come even beyond that. talking about impeachment to bloomberg, let's listen. >> we haven't even made a decision to impeach. this is what an inquiry is about. >> you start a process, the logical extreme of which would be removal of the president. >> i don't think it's so extreme if he has violated the constitution. but then nonetheless our responsibility in the house is to make a judgment about impeachment and then that would go to the senate. this is what changed everything for me. i don't like impeachment. it divides. >> what's that going to look like. are we going to see the same people we saw before? she expects these hearings to begin next month. so how do you see that playing out? >> what we're seeing right now with this vote, this week on the impeachment resolution, is that the inquiry is going from

largely private facing to public facing. so if we were to compare this for example to a criminal investigation, what the house was involved in up until now was essentially the grand jury proceeding. everyone that happens behind closed doors, witness testimony, gathering documents and so on. what we're going to see with the public hearings is somewhat like the house laying out its indictment of the president, whether they think he should be impeached. what kinds of potentially high crimes and misdemeanors i could be impeached on. we know they're zeroing in on abuse of power. there's a plethora of other things they could bring up, bribery, extortion, misappropriation of taxpayer funds and the thing that started all this, which is soliciting foreign interference in the election. >> it becomes a question of the timeline. here's more from nancy pelosi talking about the time and the inquiry and what that may entail. let's listen. >> there were 11 obstruction of

justice provisions in the mueller report. perhaps some of them, that will be part of the inquiry to see where we go. >> then there is also you know the public appetite for this. she acknowledged the public's attention span is limited. do democrats need to keep the narrative moving forward because they sense that the public has grown weary of the closed-door process? >> i think they saw the writing on the wall, you couldn't have an entire impeachment process behind closed doors. in the basement of the capital. so they feel like the wind is at their backs, that independents and moderates are supporting impeachment. if you look at the poll numbers. think they attribute that to the fact that it's a simple case. it's so much easier to understand than the sprawling mueller report. where it's unclear what president trump's personal involvement was, in kind of soliciting help from russia. and so they feel pretty good

that they've, they're able to have public hearings that it's going to be very hard for republicans to defend trump's behavior when they have all of these officials who work for him currently, some of them, testifying to their problems with that. >> we've been hearing from the president, time and time again, about the republicans being strong for him. you've got the "washington post" reporting that a growing number of gop centers consider acknowledging president trump's quid pro quo on ukraine. how significant is this? and how might it impact the white house's narrative that there was no quid pro quo. >> i think as far as republican defenses of trump, think we were kind of headed to this point all along. it started with then, echoing the president, saying there was nothing wrong, there was no quid pro quo and democrats are just using this for political capital. i think their ultimate defense is going to be, he did something wrong, he shouldn't have done it. but it doesn't rise to the level

of an impeachable offense. so that's the shift we're seeing that the republicans acknowledging that the president may have engaged in misconduct. >> the president officially moving now. his residence from new york city to florida. let's listen to what he had to say about that. >> they haven't treat immediate properly. i've paid millions and millions of dollars in new york since i became president, they just haven't treated, i think the office with the kind of respect and i don't mind paying the taxes, new york is a very expensive place to live. but many bad things aren whatting in new york. >> daniel, what's behind this all? what's the reason he's peacing out on new york city? >> a lot of new yorkers have moved to florida when they retire, for tax purposes in general, we shouldn't understate that. we don't even know if that is an accurate statement. that he's paying of millions of dollars to new york. even when he's president.

because he hasn't released his tax returns like every other major presidential candidate. in a long time. so -- i think he was tired of the public criticism he's received from cuomo and de blasio. he also does not like those investigations by cyrus vance, the manhattan prosecutor, who is looking into trump's various misconduct allegations. >> interesting to get the response from andrew cuomo. saying it's not like he paid taxes here, anyway. for both of you hang on for a minute, there's another headline i want to talk about here. the other big headline of day, the 2020 candidates descending on iowa last night, making their pitch to voters in this crucial state. >> i didn't just come here to end the era of donald trump. i'm here to launch the era that

must come next. >> the next president who will be the commander-in-chief of a world in disarray. there's going to be no time for on-the-job training. >> how is a man you never heard of eight months ago speaking after joe biden and before elizabeth warren. >> anyone who comes on this stage and tells you they can make change without a fight is not going to win that fight. >> iowa, i stand here before you today for the people fully prepared to defeat donald trump. >> and when people tell me that a woman can't beat donald trump, i tell them, nancy pelosi does it every single day. >> now as a nation, how we insure that we unite a country that every day a president who

engages in moral vandalism is trying to tear apart, the way we aspire not just to beat him, but to go to the mountain top is the way our ancestors did. >> now taking advantage of this event. one of the biggest ones before the iowa caucus. anything standing out from that event last night? >> beto o'rourke had to pull out at the last minute this is one of those cases where the media built beto up and so strong, that it made it kind of hard for him to even outlast, to exceed those expectations, when he was on cover of "vanity fair" and got other coverage. in terms of the dinner, i think it's interesting to see how the crowd has reacted, and the people who 20 to that event, to

joe biden following in the polls. pete buttigieg, he is doing very well and joe biden has been collateral damage from the ukraine call scandal. >> beyond the beto o'rourke dropping out news, the biggest headline was elizabeth warren's release of her medicare for all plan. it got criticism from her fellow democrats, joe biden went at her for it she went back on him. how did it play out overall? >> we are, i think this kind of shows us we're going to see a lot more brawling between the so-called progressive wing of the democratic candidacy. which of course is elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. and the people who cast themselves as moderates like joe biden and increasingly, pete buttigieg who has shown a willingness to go after someone like warren because of her front-runner status. i want to echo daniel that buttigieg has hit his rise in the polls has been meteoric as it relates to iowa beating

someone like biden who for months was the front-runner before he even launched his campaign. >> is it clear who may be forced to drop out next before gearing up foreiowa or new hampshire? >> cory booker, you have to look at someone like him. because he is not in that top tier and he's going to be, as part of the senate calendar, mitch mcconnell plans to have the senate trial throughout much of january. and if you're a sitting senator, you can't really sit that one out. it would just look bad for everyone involved. and so cory booker is probably expected to have to be there much of the time. that would hurt his candidacy at a crucial moment right before iowa and new hampshire. >> sonham, who are we going to be talking about as far as the

next person dropping out before that? >> i think cory booker is someone to keep an eye on. also senator amy klobuchar, she has a lot of the same kind of dynamics that booker does, he's going to have to be focused on the impeachment inquiry and the impeachment trial. her focus is going to be split between the presidential race and then obviously her role as one of the jurors in the potential trial. i would say that i was, that a lot of people are surprised by the staying power of andrew yang. it was expected that he would drop out weeks if not months earlier. so i think that's going to be an interesting space to keep an eye on, going forward, too. >> great perspective as always, thank you both. now to the battle to get john bolton to testify. if he testifies, what will he say? and how damaging could it be for the president? we'll tackle that, next. 6 surfaces

. i'm on the phone. they want me to say to this brand new president who just got there, called to congratulate him, please, could you help me? please. i don't know who he is. i didn't know his name until i looked down the card. >> president trump and his campaign rally on his call with ukraine's president, as the white house press secretary confirms there's serious consideration being given to the president's idea of a fireside

chat. and president trump told the washington examiner said at some point i'll sit down as a fireside chat and read the transcript of the phone call. >> joining us is former national security adviser to president george w. bush and nbc national security analyst. juan thanks for being with me. when it comes to that potential fireside chat, how will it change the dynamic around the impeachment, if at all? hard to tell, not clear how that would play out. if he would read it or provide commentary, his attempt to try to take control over the events as opposed to letting the impeachment run from the hill and having to be reactive. the more the president says, the worse it gets for him and it strikes a me that would be a bad idea. in part because the conversation

is not all that helpful to the president. second it doesn't capture the context of the idea of a quid pro quo where aid was being withheld for purposes of spurring the investigation of vice president biden and also this investigation into conspiracy theory. it wouldn't capture the context of all this and third there would be further questions raised. the one thing i worry about here from a national security foreign policy perspective is it also puts ukrainians further in the spotlight. it puts president zelensky in the middle of this political drama in washington. just not good for foreign relations. here you have the president potentially reading elements of a transcript or some version of the call. with a foreign leader on screen. and so what other leaders think about that? how does president zelensky react?

how does it affect the dynamics with putin and russia? i think it's not a good idea for lots of reasons. >> interesting to see it from that perspective from the other foreign leaders as well. >> the pivotal testimony from lieutenant colonel alexander vinman. testifying that he was told not to discuss of the concerns with the call with anybody. what stands out to you about how vindman reportedly told lawmakers about this unfolding? it's curious because i was a part of several calls with president bush when i served in the white house. you listened to these calls. you usually have follow-on from the calls. i was never in a situation where we had to go back and look at the record of the call to figure out some sort of dispute. so i really am sympathetic to the national security officials caught between the hill and the

white house. trying to figure out what they can and can't say. it's clear, though, that there were lots of concerns and sensitivities around what was being conveyed in the call. there may have been confusion as well. i think that's what you see in some of the testimony where you have vindman going to the lawyers to say this is what i heard. what do you think? part of it was getting counsel as well. part of it is this problematic. counsel has to be cautious, they want to make sure that privileged communications aren't getting outside of the white house. so this message of don't talk to folks outside the white house, may not be as nefarious as it sounds on first blush. >> i'm sure that will be the basis for a lot of questions for john isenberg when he testifies next week. when it comes to him you've heard some of trump's defenders raising questions, he's an iraq

war veteran, he emigrated from ukraine when he was three years old. how do you perceive these accusations against him? >> i don't like them, i think to a certain extent they're shameful. this is an american citizen, patriot, who has devoted his life to the defense of the country. was serving to the best of his abilities at the national security council. these are not easy jobs, they're taxing jobs on your family. obviously in a situation like this, a lot of public scrutiny that nobody would want. i find it really distasteful to be honest. i feel for the national security professionals who are in those jobs trying to dot right thing for the american people and for purposes of policy. and they're now call in this political drama in ways that they never imagined. and i think it's unfortunate. >> vindman made clear it was his testimony, he felt it was his duty to go forward with that. so let's talk about john bolton.

house democrats are looking for his testimony in this probe. but there's the whole back and forth, the battle about whether he's going to show up. how do you think he sees his obligations, especially when it comes to a subpoena here? >> i think john bolton will respond if there's a subpoena. he'll obviously respond. he's caught in this broader legal debate on whether or not national security officials have to respond to congressional requests or subpoenas versus the white house demands for respect of executive privilege. and there's a lawsuit now under way to determine that. and so i think john will in his testimony will fall in the middle of that debate. more importantly, i think john bolton is an independent-minded, strong-willed individual. i think from what we've read in reports, he was not pleased with what was happening as a parallel process in terms of dealing with

the ukrainian government and i think he will be very forceful in terms of laying out what he saw as being an illegitimate parallel process. one outside of his control. outside of his liking and didn't make him feel comfortable. whether or not that fuels you know further evidence toward impeachment. i'm not sure. but john will be clear about what his role was, what he didn't like and what he was seeing. >> before i let you go, quickly i want to get your take on another headline in the "washington post" reporting ice ice is looking to exact revenge on the united states after the death of its leader. what's their capability in the u.s. for retaliation? >> i think their capability in the united states is greatly diminished, thankfully. but they do have foreign fighters at the height of isis' caliphate. they had over 40,000 fighters, many of whom have gone back to europe to effectuate a attacks.

it's something we have to be worried about. and we know that there are sympathizers, in the states who have provided material support. and we know that the fbi has investigations all throughout the country. this is something we have to watch whether it's a sophisticated organized attack or something that's simply inspired by isis, it's something that the fbi, the c.i.a. and the national security community has to worry about. >> as always, thank you for being with me. >> my pleasure. could these be the articles of impeachment? and should democrats have one or several?

to say? >> good morning, frances, the president went to mississippi in part to help the republican candidate for governor there. but it gave him a very friendly backdrop for his own agenda, to talk about impeachment. to try to show the supporters gathered there, that impeachment is not only a threat to him, but it is a potential problem for his supporters as well. taking his fight to tupelo. >> it the word impeachment, is a dirty word. >> in his first rally after democratic lawmakers moved forward on impeachment, the president called the inquiry an attack on democracy itself. >> the democrats voted to potentially nullify the votes, of 63 million americans. disgracing themselves. and bringing shame upon the house of representatives. >> laying out his own defense by mocking joe biden. >> i got a guy named sleepy joe

biden. how do i beat him? >> and making a joke of the allegation that he pressured ukraine for his own political gain. >> gee, i guess there's only one way. let's call up ukraine for help. >> new in the inquiry, energy secretary rick perry will defy house democrats, a spokeswoman says the secretary will not partake in a secret star chamber inquisition, where agency counsel is forbidden. in another development, nbc news confirms that white house aide lieutenant-colonel alexander vindman told lawmakers he was instructed by national security council lawyer john isenberg not to discuss his concerns about the president's ukraine call with anyone. isenberg is due to testify monday. meanwhile, friday at the white house, the new york-born and new

york-made president explained his surprise announcement that he switched his legal residence to palm beach, florida. >> i pay millions of taxes, millions and millions of dollars in new york and they've never treated me, since i became president, they just haven't treated, i think the office with the kind of respect. >> his newly minted florida president is going to new york city, late they are evening. he'll be spending the night at his fifth avenue apartment. that had been for all those years, his permanent residence. but not any more. frances? >> kelly o'donnell, thank you. day 40 of the impeachment inquiry. house democrats have to decide whether to focus only on trump's ukraine scandal. nine depositions are scheduled. here are some, including the white house lawyer who moved the transcript from the president's controversial call with ukraine into a secret server. joining me is msnbc legal

analyst, danny savallo and wilson murray who clerked for supreme court justice sotomayor. we may be a few weeks away from learning from the articles of impeachment entail. could you see obstruction of justice, abuse of power, contempt of congress, which is the strong snebt. >> those are ancillary articles that would be adjacent to what i think would be the main article, would be the issue of using the office of the president to pressure a foreign power or withholding aid from a foreign power in order to secure some kind of help with the election. so to me the obstruction of justice, preventing witnesses, contempt of congress, all of those are part of the cover-up essentially. the real issue, and where i think the democrats are likely to focus on, in order to the make the clearest case possible is that the president used the office of the presidency and the power of the united states to do something with a foreign power that would be essentially to

secure his place in the next presidential election. >> when it comes to obstruction of justice, danny, do you think any of the ten instances of that from the mueller report will make it into the articles? and if you're going to weigh it, which would make the stronger case? those or ukraine in this case? >> legally elements of the mueller report could make out articles of impeachment. but practically and from a pr perspective, think the house has learned from the or at least democrats have learned from the mueller report that it was wide-ranging and sometimes confusing for the public to follow. now they've seized on something easier to follow. that may form the basis for the articles of impeachment. don't be surprised if democrats completely ignore the mueller report findings and focus on ideas like professor murray just fleshed out, which are really ideas of extortion, did the president use his official power to go to another person and say will condition this grant of money or some other use of my

power on you giving me something that is personally beneficial. that meets the federal criminal analog of extortion. and that may be the house democrats' plan to forget about the mueller report, move forward on something the public can seize on and understand really primarily an extortion case. >> you've got politico reporting that the president is rewarding republican senators by tapping his fundraising network for members facing tough re-election bids. saying trump is exerting leverage over a group he badly needs in his corner with an impeachment trial likely coming soon to the senate. aren't these senators set to be jurors when and if this reaches the senate, would you go so far as calling this bribery? >> i don't know if it's bribery necessary. it's definitely jury tampering if you think about it in that sense. obviously they have their day jobs as senators, but in this unusual process, impeachment,

they are also functioning as jurors, weighing the evidence and they're supposed to reflect the will of the people in considering whether or not that evidence leads to an offense that is impeachable and warrants the removal of the president. so the fact that the president is using the power of his office to provide a aid to those who will be prospective jurors, that's highly irregular, but perhaps not irregular for this administration. >> danny, how do you see it? >> it's the most confusing thing about impeachment is it only cosmetically appears to be like a criminal trial. but in a criminal trial, jurors are designed, they are we weed through them and get a completely impartial jury. that's the goal. the complete opposite is true with a trial in the senate in cases of impeachment. these are the most biased, opinionated jurors you could imagine. they were elected for their bias when you think about it. so the system, the procedure that we've laid out creates a

system where you have jurors that are always going to be biased, going back to andrew johnson's impeachment, people flooded washington, plying these senators and other wisconsinky to try to convince them to vote and keep andrew johnson in office. when it comes to the impeachment process, the jurors have always been biased. >> always appreciate the legal insight, thank you. and beyond their insight, what you need to know about the impeachment inquiry after an explosive week of new testimony and what you can expect next week. catch impeachment: white house in crisis, tomorrow night on msnbc. wall of flames, the tactics that california wildfires are using to fight them. the clock is ticking on irreversible joint damage. ongoing pain and stiffness
