lives lived to tell. the to tell a little more than the one the watching the hawks i am very well been sent on top of the little welcome on the watch of the hawks i am very well been sent on top of the wall is joining us today on the panel discussion on 2 major stories affecting us politics and politics of all this joining us today on the panel discussion on 2 major stories affecting us politics and politics today is investigative journalist ben swan r t america correspondent rachel gray is investigative journalist ben swan r t america correspondent rachel blevins and. constraint on style and our could see america and star device are at the ranch of what our team america producer branch of war thanks for joining it was very happy and i want to start revenge porn has

thanks for joining it was very happy and i'm i want to start revenge porn has the majority of the time. but an issue that's affected you know female celebrities a majority of the time but an issue that's affected you know female celebrities female news anchors many non famous women you know women around the world given female news anchors many non famous women you know women around the world given the cutthroat scandal loving nature of washington d.c. politics are really cutthroat and scam the loving nature of washington d.c. politics are really going to be seeing more of these types of scandals take place here on capitol hill but i'll start with you are going to be seeing more of these types of scandals take place here on capitol hill but i'll start with you. well i think we will certainly see more because of the simple. well i think we will certainly see more because of the simply the digital age that we're in you have

photographs that are easy to come by and images that are easy to share but i also think that some of the issues surrounding hills interesting because the digital age that we're in you have photographs that are easy to come by and images that are easy to share but i also think that some of the issues surrounding hills interesting because while you're right in your lead up you mentioned that her supporters are saying she's a victim here while you're right in your lead up you mentioned that her supporters are saying she's a victim here the woman who feels that she was victimized by katie hill does not think she's a victim in fact that that the woman who feels that she was victimized by katie hill does not think she's the victim in fact that that staffer repeatedly has said that in text messages to hill that she staffer repeatedly has said that in text messages to hill that she felt taken advantage of and she felt like he had taken advantage of her and abused her in different ways taken advantage of and she felt like he had taken advantage of her and abused her in different ways so you know i know it's important to know i think to keep in the context supports that we're

going to want to fix that while this this is this kind of this is kind of a new era a new era in terms of the avail. ability of some of these images it's important to also in this me too in terms of the availability of some of these images it's important to also in this me too moment to hold those who are in power accountable for the way they treat people who are under the moment to hold those who are in power accountable for the way they treat people who are under them. and i think this is an interesting point that ben just made there which is there probably and i think this is an interesting point that ben just made there which is there probably are ethical concerns to cahill's situation ok but the fact that we are ethical concerns to cahill's situation ok but the fact that lewd photos of her were released that were released without her permission that she did take with lewd photos of her were released that were released without her permission that she did take with permission were released that's the problem at hand here now when it

comes to an ethics of permission were released that's the problem at hand here now when it comes to an ethics investigation that can all be addressed but this should have never came to light in this matter these situations this investigation that can all be addressed but this should have never came to light in this manner these situations this story could have been released to the public released even on red state without story could have been released to the public released even on red state without publishing those photos so you think it's a situation where it's. correct and actually you think it's a situation where it's like 2 wrongs don't make a right correct absolutely. and asked it as a question the question of question of whether this is going to keep happening happy and i think that i thought is probably at is probably likely the case because this is a tell of it is all this time when you look at this kind of thing and i'm likely the case because this is i tell of it as all of this time when you look at this kind of thing and i mean i think ben's right when you look at the computer age these photos are much more easy to share and i think ben's right when you look at

the computer age these photos are much more easy to share and keep track of and of course this is one of. stories that the media would much rather talk about this keep track of and of course this is one of those stories that the media would much rather talk about this then they would talk about the national debt or war or that kind of thing and i think also it's not just a situation they would talk about the national debt or war or that kind of thing and i think also it's not just a situation with revenge porn it also allegedly is a situation of an abusive ex and that's never you ation with revenge porn it also allegedly is a situation of an abusive ex and that's never you know a good situation and i think tarell you hit the nail on the head when you said that this is you know nothing gets the press more jazzed up in a sex scandal you know there are a number of conflicts of interest situation and i think tyrrell you hit the nail on the head when you said that this is you know nothing gets the press more jazzed up in a sex scandal you know there are a number of conflicts of interest with the press there number of reasons that may be but it's really this whole scandal has really been compounded us with the press

there a number of reasons that may be but it's really this whole scandal has really been compounded by the fact that of course the media love scandals like these it just gets people to pay attention let me buy the fact that of course the media loves scandals like these it just gets people to pay attention let me know and that's true by the way whether it's men or women don't think. that's true by the way whether it's men or women don't forget carlos danger and i mean we know all of his photographs now they weren't leaked by a spouse but again and i mean we know in all of his photographs now they weren't leaks by a spouse but again the media was very excited because there is a digital record of this you know human the media was very excited because there is a digital record of this you know you mentioned back a long time ago gary hart back in 1988 when he had it back a long time ago gary hart back in 1988 when he had it was june of last. night he was on his lap at the. meeting here he had heard they have

a cast of not just getting off one of his wife and they did it. but the problem is the problem is that you had little back then if it was always all in your mind it was all created by the digital day by the digital age. let me let me. i guess i'll start with the ladies on the panel do you think that this was i guess i'll start with the ladies on the panel do you think that this will have an effect because one of the fears that a lot of people have is that just like to have an effect because one of the fears that a lot of people have is that just like going into hollywood you know you have to be very careful if you're going to go into public life going into hollywood you know you have to be very careful if you're going to go into public life at all but especially in politics and public service knowing in the digital that all but

especially in politics and public service knowing in the digital age somewhere out there you know and this goes for the men on the panel too we all have access somewhere out there you know and this goes for the men on the panel too we all have axes we all have ex husbands wives girlfriends boyfriends we all have ex husbands wives girlfriends boyfriends lovers that doesn't matter they could have that one picture they could have that one text message lover is that doesn't matter they could have that one picture they could have that one text message they could have you know that snap chat that you sent them and they could have you know that snap chat that you sent them and is this going to have you know this idea that someone could use this sort of these things can come out you know is this going to have you know this idea that someone could use this sort of these things can come out you know is that going to keep women out of out of public service because very kind of have this idea like is that going to keep women out of out of public

service because very kind of have this idea like oh well i smoked marijuana in college. drum. arriving take it i can oh well i smoked marijuana in college i got a drunk driving tech and i can't ever run for president do you think this is going to have a chilling effect on women in politics i want to say that i would never run for president do you think this is going to have a chilling effect on women in politics i want to say that it would keep them out of politics but i do think that it's going to make them think twice about what they do i mean in the same way that i'm out of politics but i do think that it's going to make them think twice about what they do i mean in the same way that before the digital age you may have thought twice about how you had sex with because you didn't want to get an s.t.d. or the digital age you may have thought twice about how you had sex with because you didn't want to get an s.t.d. now maybe you'll think twice about who you set out to make sure and try to kid about yourself in a picnic sure to tell you the next village that you talk to because there's a chance it may share it so may make you think twice about just who you're talking to about that but at the same time it also kind of ushers in this age of

accountability because if we're hearing more of guys there's a chance it may share it so may make you think twice about just who you're talking to about that but at the same time it also kind of ushers in this age of accountability because if we're hearing more about these stories in congress and where politicians are taking advantage of their staffers then they're out these stories in congress and where politicians are taking advantage of their staffers then that may make them think twice and that may make other staffers then want to speak out because it may make them think twice and that may make other staffers then want to speak out because they're hearing these stories and because they realize that they may actually be listened to and believed and sure they're hearing these stories and because they realize that they may actually be listened to and believed and to your point about the new digital age let's look with any new technology there is the potential for it to be point about the new digital age let's look with any new technology there is the potential for it to be used in a good way or in a bad way so there's a huge new potential for abuse here when it comes to use in a good way or in

a bad way so there's a huge new potential for abuse here when it comes to the way that like nude photos can be legal minds and stuff like that and of course it's a trap. it's tragic to the way that like nude photos can be lethal mines and stuff like that and of course it's a tragic tragic situation for this individual that she now you know lost her career nobody wants that to happen to them situation for this individual that she now you know lost her career nobody wants that to happen to them like i'm sure all of us have you know compromising things about ourselves somewhere on the air like i'm sure there are you all of us have you know compromising things about ourselves somewhere on the internet so there's a huge potential for abuse here at the same time the same talking to very interviews sitting here here as on the 6 great great times under the ever sick since we're you know sitting here on this great and diverse panel and we are members of the media we can also be critical about how the media has title and we are members of the media we can also be critical about how the media has talked about this talked about way the same way that even for the me maybe somewhat somewhat since say they they they should of course this is

a bad bad situation for her. notions in her career that she's very tired losing her career very terrible but but what does that have to do with you know the average working class citizen not a whole lot of course we can say hey what does that have to do with you know the average working class citizen not a whole lot of course we can say hey revenge porn bad for sure but what are we not covering when we are covering you know sex scandals and the. bad for sure but what are we not covering when we are covering you know sex scandals well i think it's interesting that 1st attempts point i think there is a lot to get to because it could just a good 1st attempts point i think that there is a lot of you have to be concerned about these things and i think now we're sort of put about publicly and i think if you look at. it and you guys are going all the public life you have to look at every skeleton in your closet and whether the skeleton is actually a bad skeleton or just a i made and whether the skeleton is actually a bad skeleton or just a i made

a decision one time in my life to send a photo that was inappropriate to someone i love it a decision. time in my life to send a photo that was inappropriate to someone i loved you know i mean we've fallen out of love as people are for you know i mean you know i mean all of it and i was out of love as a people for you know i think that you know what it was and what i'm saying is obviously what i've got out of it is that this legal right. or right product is there but at the right where that i'm looking for but i don't know but you know when you do that you have to think if you're going to be anything in public office . when you do that you have to think if you're going to be anything in public office or anything in a public life that those things can come out because somebody may be vindictive you may have anything in a public life that those things can come out because somebody may be vindictive you may have done something wrong and frankly you may have been hacked as well and so there are a lot of issues with this that we do have to be concerned about and i mean i don't think we're taking away cahill's career by the way she'll think wrong and frankly

you may have been hacked as well and so there are a lot of issues with this that we do have to be concerned about and i mean i don't think we're taking away katie his career by the way she's 3030 years old 2 years old i think she. she lost her she she's going to have to she she's going to have to step down on that on this particular particular situation she's chosen to beta 28 was coming out but she has a lot. on what was come out but she has a long a long life ahead of her and hopefully she can take this revenge porn situation and maybe make a long life ahead of her and hopefully she can take this revenge porn situation and maybe make it an advocacy that she can work on because she's been affected by it she's in the public eye. and advocacy that she can work on because she's been affected by it she's in the public eye she's going to work on being an advocate against you know the actions of ripping the floor once again she's going to work on being an advocate against you know the actions of ripping the floor with democrats

using this issue to position that this is a position watching them send. so you could say as a as a political win for them in that way because obviously you don't want to be on the side of pro a political win for them in that way because obviously you don't want to be on the side of pro revenge. and i don't know on the field one of them. well obviously not one well obviously there's apparently according to c.n.n. there's a g.o.p. operative with hundreds in the 100 courts of the sorting out of service and then there's a g.o.p. operative with hundreds and hundreds of these photos of katie. again makes you question what kind of. stories just. keeping a big chunk of this in a chunk out of it off but then sending it off i thought i think one of the one of the thing things and says about where we are so we still have a lot of shame in normal human interactions we all have to have

a lot of the. normal human interactions that we all have and that goes from like remember it was my gosh obama and from like remember it with this my gosh obama is going to. oh my gosh she's bisexual you know and in her defense she has she's stood on the she's bisexual you know and in her defense she has she stood on the floor of congress today and took full responsibility for the inappropriate actions and all the people floor of congress today and took full responsibility for the inappropriate actions and all the people she let down but i think we have to remember this is an abusive situation she let down but i think we have to remember this is an abusive situation and there's there's that line we go to that says how much we share and there's there's that line we go to that says how much how much do we know how much we don't know how much do we know it's like of course how much

what we don't care what it's like of course she said what i think about that or anyone can. write that. then go ahead. with the little i know i don't mean to come it off but but i think i think it's important that we also keep sight of the fact that they did not step down it's important that we also keep sight of the fact that they did not step down because of revenge porn because if if these were nude photos because of revenge porn because if if these were nude photos of her and there was no abuse to her staff or if she had not taken advantage of this staffer they were her and there was no abuse to her staff or if she had not taken advantage of this staffer they were simply just pictures of her being bisexual she would not be stepping down right now she did to simply just pictures of her being bisexual she would not be stepping down right now she did take advantage of someone who was under her and we're living in a culture right now that says regardless of whether you're

a take advantage of someone who was under her and we're living in a culture right now that says regardless of whether you're a man or you're a woman you do not have the right to take advantage of people who are under you in the manner you're a woman you do not have the right to take advantage of people who are under you in this way and that's what's important here too is that you know this way and that you guys would know it's important here too is that you know i get you guys know i am not i don't play republican or democrat. i don't play republican or democrat in the us a better left leads but i absolutely believe that there has to be accountability for people who are in positions of power to not believe that there has to be accountability for people who are in positions of power to not abuse the people underneath them if can't get a not abused to suppress efforts under you need where you can even if you if you can not abuse the staffers under you what are you going to be for your constituents and i think i have a question for you then so you think if your constituents and i think i have

a question for you then so you think if red state had published an article that referenced this. staffer and said i've read state had published an article that referenced this staffer and said ok this staffer says that she was abused without posting any pictures or anything explained ok this staffer says that she was abused without posting any pictures or anything explain kind of the whole situation you think he would have still been forced to step down or to do that the pictures also give her the they should get it you think katie what is still but forced to step down or did the or do the pictures give her the give the attention to the store sprayed or great would. be courteous to be. kind of cutting things. yeah i think you're exactly right i think you're exactly here in the right light when you say that i think isn't he the if you're exactly right when you say that this was the fuel that went into that fire but i think that's the wrong reason for her to add fuel that went into that fire but i think that's the wrong reason for

her to have stepped on my thing is the wrong fuel that went on the fire so i agree with you i'm not i'm not arguing that it was ok or except i'm i think it's the wrong fuel that went on the fire so i agree with you i'm not i'm not arguing that it was ok or even it's even acceptable but from a from a and i believe that we probably would all agree on this from a journalist it's even acceptable but from a from a and i believe that we probably would all agree on this from a journalism standpoint the issue should have been focused on on the taking advantage of the staffer none standpoint the issue should have been focused on on the taking advantage of the staffer not on the the issue of the photographs themselves but not to lose sight of it because i feel that in her case some of what her supporters are saying now is they're trying to paint her out on the the issue of the photographs themselves but not to lose sight of it because i feel that in her case some of what her supporters are saying now is they're trying to paint her as only of that she's not only a victim she is of the glasnost remember those are going to only of that she is not

only a victim she is of the remember december i'm going to wild yes she broke the rules of congress having a relationship with that staffer but at the same time it was wild yes she broke the rules of congress having a relationship with that staffer but at the same time it was a mutual relationship it wasn't but the stuff or was being harvey weinstein this was an action was a mutual relationship it wasn't but the stuff or was being harvey weinstein this was actually they were you know that is going to get a couple of iran right now but they had to sort of mushroom every couple but we have to move on right now but thank you so much everybody and we'll see you back here shortly as we go to break as we go break our coworkers and forget about it and we'll see you back here shortly as we go to break as we go break our coworkers. let us know what let us look at the top of the topic which were covered all covered on our on our. blog watching the talking. just now one spotify apple music and everywhere you listen to a podcast come to. spotify apple music and everywhere you listen to

representative tom cole had this to say on how his party feels about the proceedings cole had this to say on how his party feels about the proceedings. which you were meeting here today to set forward a force approach which you were meeting here today to set forward a force of process for impeaching the president of the united states in my view it's not a fair process process for impeaching the president of the united states in my view it's not a fair process it's not an open process that's certainly not been transparent process and it's not an open process that's certainly not been transparent process in limited enclosed and frankly i think we're moving toward a preordained regime limited enclosed and frankly i think we're moving toward a preordained result all. over the over land the slab must run must signs efforts will have how it will skip out of these bins of been engaging gauge region one

what's been called of formal impeachment inquiry quote unquote of course it is one of the informal impeachment inquiry quote unquote of course there's nothing formal about it other than the speaker saying so alice has never voted to conduct such a minimal about it other than the speaker saying so alice has never voted to conduct such an inquiry and the committees have operated in the dark and a lot of comments made was a teacher should have them or read on that in the dark without formal authorization on what amounts to a member of the more than an even expanded to did fishy finishing act. on the on the other side of the aisle of the democrat or in the makes our ability to make space are aware of a pain at best that they want to proceed or painting the best left lightly in the proceedings lightly earth term how often the term is going to matter how. many i'm sure. will be when we recognize.

the serious this is serious or snus of this undertaking. we reckon we can recognize that that at. we have been because we have been held compelled by the circumstances to move forward. by the circumstances to move forward. when a president. abuses his or her office when a president. abuses his or her office when a president sacrifices the national interest when a president or when a president sacrifices the national interest when a president refuses to defend the constitution. and does so for the purpose of defuses tend to defend the constitution. and does so for the purpose of advancing

a personal or political agenda. the founders provided the writing a personal or political agenda. the founders provided the remedy. i make no pre-judgment as to whether somebody. i make no pre-judgment as to whether. that remedy will be warranted when we finish these. that remedy will be warranted when we finish these hearings i will wait until all the facts are put forward. hearings i will wait until all the facts are put forward . we will undertake this duty with the seriousness it deserves and to the best of our but we will undertake this duty with the seriousness it deserves and to the best of our ability thank you. so will the 2 party system find a way to unite on the basis thank you. so will the 2 party system find a way to unite on the basis of facts rules and procedures or even the rules of the

impeachment turn the whole syphax rules and procedures or even the rules of the impeachment turn the whole thing into another political circus for the american people to deal. setting into another political circus for the american people to deal. so all of us most of a ok like half of this is a civil war all of us most of a ok like half of this is a civil war i remember and were old enough to have a clinton burn the number and were old enough to have a clinton burn the going to say well i'm like back in the day i. believe it was going to say well i'm like back in the day so way back and they didn't go to good music beat a minute and then they buy me a little go to drama department speech man and i'm still a little traumatized. because it went on forever and they are very i'm i'm already

like oh i don't know. because it went on forever and they are very i'm i'm already like oh i don't know if we want to do this do you was there any other alternative do you think we want to do this do you was there any other alternative do you think other than impeachment that the democrats could have taken to hold trump accountable other than impeachment that the democrats could have taken to hold trump accountable for his perfect song oh i'm going to say and i will for his perfect song i'm going to say i don't know i don't mean to jump in here 1st but i'm going to say you know what always works a senate or congressional i don't mean to jump in here 1st but i'm going to say you know what always works a senate or congressional censure everybody knows that she. the world you basically say hey you were a censure and everybody knows that changes the world you basically say hey you were

a bad guy nothing gets done about this so that's what they should have done and i mean bad guy nothing gets done about this so that's what they should have done i mean look the include the soft inquiry before the formal inquiry that officially took off today but was an investigation it was the start of an investigation they were checking to see if there was a the in could the soft inquiry before the formal inquiry that officially took off today but was an investigation it was the start of an investigation they were checking to see if there was any there there as they say and then now they voted to open the formal inquiry which i mean they're there as they say and then now they voted to open the formal inquiry which is also again going to be open and now we're going to see if there's any there there and then there's also again going to be open and now we're going to see if there's any there there and then we'll see how it goes it's just the process of our government i'm not sure what the big deal is we will see how it goes it's just the process of our government i'm not sure what the big deal is here. watching the news and watching people who.

like watching the news and watching people who you know as simple go. to. school so very much. about have ivy league schools they should understand how these basic processes i don't know if they know that google exists and they could look at out there is this nurse and how these basic processes i don't know if they know that google exists and they could look at out there is a set of you know us out of you know you have to know. what these things are some and i mean these i think so why do you think so it's been so easy for just sort of best. effort to suggest sort of the click are it basically excesses to not be clear to the american people to see people that we don't know what's going on. as we've had congress i said afrikaans the anger is that we don't know what's going on because we've had congress after congress changing rules making making them now

we're literally sitting here with republicans changing rules making making them now we're literally sitting here with republican rules but it's other republicans so it doesn't count because there's nothing weird that our basic rules but it's other republicans so it doesn't count because there's nothing weird that our basic civics has become so oh we would have them like the civics has become so. we would have them like the industry a certain extent because you look at the media coverage of the word impeachment and it's become sort of this big battering extent because you look at the media coverage of the word impeachment and it's become sort of this big bad word but it's also interesting when you look at this case specifically because this legendary phone has word but it's also interesting when you look at this case specifically because this legendary phone call with ukraine that they're all talking about they're saying that it was a risk to national security call with ukraine that they're all talking about they're saying that it was a risk to national security yet when you look at the media coverage of other things

freddie does when you look at the deal with the media objectives of the other things president trump does that may be a legitimate wrist and asked if we cannot carry the female to talk about the very other you know they don't talk about about that relationship with all of saudi then you're able to talk about it they don't his relationship with saudi arabia they don't talk about these ongoing wars in the middle east to talk of can talk about you know if you to be on from going playing and wars and it got in the middle and believe there should have continued under trump and gotten worse in some ways and you look at those wars in those countries that are being bought and paid and and she little look at those friends been in wars no one is countries that are being bombed and the children that are growing up under that bombing going building up in my knickers all up on what a mom and dad will be where they are going may go and almost under enormous want to be there you would cover them eventually terrorist and then come attack the united states is that not a national security risk so it is kind of international way to. the united states is that not a national security risk so it is kind of imagery that i always part it is part of the national security risk so we're not going to hear about it as much and just to

piggyback hard it is part of the national security risk so we're not going to hear about it as much and just to piggyback off what you're saying i mean who wins when we talk about which means we're not or so the medication should be talking about means about who is what when we talk about it pietschmann not that we shouldn't be talking about you know what you said and also the abuse of power that probably yes that was an abuse of power i mean that an openness of the show you case that is our thought that the probably yes that was an abuse of power i mean like you know open and shut case but the same time frame we're not i'm talking about are not the least people i've talked to because of legal action was found on with arms of this country this is the fact entire untrue runs the fact that you know is bob you know is bombing even more than obama even more did it obama did these bipartisan for part of that isn't forms of corruption i mean sure corruption i mean basically many sickly concealment i'm sick so i mean running the economy the economy that in fear and fear should be should be a huge scandal i think i think it's really think it's really telling that was exactly the right sort of these are bipartisan for him to tell and that was exactly

the right sort of these are bipartisan forms of corruption i think it may be really telling that the so-called resistance has really cohered around of corruption i think it may be really telling that the so-called resistance has really cohered around the narrative now that it doesn't. get some plants. in his career option is in him risen richard you know people of people in his cabinet in his cabinet for their own personal verse benefit benefits and on. exactly. exactly on that there's a lot of real scandals that should be what it was and still deadlocked in focus of this scandal is that the ocean out with their brush but instead the focus on this you know alleged collusion with russia and now the issues of it and one of the issues that i want i want to. i want to bring you. you into the use of who is is you and i have railed against the 2 party system quite a bit in our time especially on this show it i have railed against the 2 party

system quite a bit in our time especially on this show is this entire kind of circus around the impeachment and the process of what they're going about is this entire kind of circus around the impeachment and the process of what they're going about given the points we've just brought up given is the point is it was just. it's been even in was the. can impeachment even operate correctly under the late clique to lead the party so this is a with them the way the current the sitting on part or just didn't work are currently kind of sitting under. no it really really i mean you can't you can go but you go back tonight and even. come in and for us for people here in the middle to hear about a clinton administration they should be they didn't was forgiven either click their butt into the administration it didn't work then either but you know it's really interesting the but throughout the united interest bill clinton's out in that it

was impeached of course and does not remove a was impeached of course he was not removed from from office we all as we know all that know that. and he actually when he left office has more more popular after africa but what's interesting is during george w. bush's era christine is this just the we got george bush's i had this is the guy who has a lot about weapons of mass destruction and a lot of sin lots of the idea of rest and war and right now 1 point one there and at one point nancy pelosi posi look at that time when he asked that about in play was asked about impeachment each member here for him for him he said she said he said that it would get into the country in the country good it no good if you know would you want to know me going into really really think that the guy who lied us into the iraq war the guy who hit us into it in the other was no not a good war michel recalls point can not be impeached because it does no one any good to michelle's point there are bipartisan issues that you'll never be impeached over and that's why i think the public has a there are bipartisan issues that you'll never be impeached over and that's why i

think the public as a whole look. look at this just a moment and then just almost anderson to stand it that. basically basically focus on this issue based on where they stand either for trump or against it if you're a good science trying to live in you're based on where they stand either for trump or against him if you're against trump and you're for impeachment not because you understand this story or the weight of the story by impeachment not because you understand this story or the the weight of the story but simply because it's simply the. because it's so you've never heard that narrative and that's what's with the media does this play into when they start with the does the party win that's what the 2 party system pushes us into and the fact is you guys all know there's a point in this anyways big system pushes us into and the fact is you guys all know there's no point in this anyways because if it goes to the senate because house vote it's 2 and think each it goes to the senate so that it was one even then it would be if the house votes to impeach it goes the senate it won't even go to

a trial now mitch mcconnell mcconnell would just as it were the plan they would want on that day and that it's the weekend move on to the move here to the election and to prevent and to ben's point here it's interesting point here at nancy pelosi said because even in 6 months ago about what nancy pelosi said because even 6 months ago she said there's no appetite for that it's not a very particular. but what she found was that it's not a very popular thing to impeach what she found was oh we can get a little bit of a political expediency off the tennis we're heading to the end of the little election somebody isn't if we can political expediency off this we're headed into the election season we can get just a little bit about this and to michelle's point i thought this is very interesting as i was going to a little bit about this about one of the we were put into some of shell's point i thought this is very interesting as i was thinking about this while we were playing that sound bite cole when he said he's like you know you're doing this there's been no bone by coal when he said he's like you know you're doing this there's been no

boat there's been no anything there you know what like when you're dropping bombs on people there are no boats we see below that there's been no anything you know what like when you're dropping bombs on people there are no boats we seem to allow that to happen number voting for that matter of ramadan time and i want to end you have to have a number of voting for that matter of ramadan time and i want to end you know and i thought maybe i just forgot cousin role. but apparently now and i thought maybe i just forgot cousin role. but apparently now i mean i think it's interesting because we're sitting here now you know as you say is like the. rules and we don't i mean i think it's interesting because we're sitting here and now you know as he's like oh the rules and we don't have the persecutors on life the reason that the system is the way it is right now and the reason of the person is on life the reason that the system is the way it is right now and the reason we're in this in this place with the basement closed door where in this in this place with the basement closed door. of the senate the whole

thing. is it is the is the republicans put certain puts in place that allows certain. allowed for it it is this is another one of one of those things i think that this was sort of bipartisan. part of this of we're going to. work here about and you can't we're going to sit in that room when we're here and then you can't do this and then we'll do this this way isn't this just consider this going house that also will just say isn't this just kind of kind of going back how it all just bite them in the end it comes back to bite them in the end when you don't actually work together when you don't actually respect the rules of the and when you don't actually work together when you don't actually respect the rules of the office that just that you're in the. procedures of a well i mean think of info think of who we got into when when when there is like you said bipartisan bickering it's those in their operations let's let our fund the

killing of those but priorities right art isn't bickering it's those those corporations that are funding both of those parties right it's like weapons contra it's act like there's weapons keypunch all one has to be expanding who need to be exposed and i would bet and i reporter lately about you know one plate about you know people positioning themselves as being for or against impeachment pietschmann based on whether or not they like trump people positioning themselves as being for or against impeachment pietschmann based on whether or not they like trump because i totally understand the desire to put faith and hope in impeachment of course because i totally understand. the desire to put faith and hope in impeachment of course people want things to people want something to change so i'm not not like i can conduct dating you know you know. us us citizens citizens just one like out of the haram of their minds wrapped around and peter out of town and pitchman it totally makes that really make sense but we have but we have to have to think about think what about what kind of kind of change the change is that actually can affect so really we do have to be cautious about ultimately the country because that

actually can affect so really we do have to be cautious about ultimately the country becoming ungovernable that's where we're headed right now and we're becoming ungovernable because now you're setting up becoming an ungovernable that's where we're headed right now and we're becoming ungovernable because now you're setting up a system where anyone can be impeached. in all welcomed me it just. doesn't all i get it just because some group doesn't like it and lastly bipartisan that's the problem we're not set up to be a bipartisan and lastly bipartisan that's the problem we're not set up to be a bipartisan country we're 2 parties run everything which in fact of course just one our country we're 2 parties one everything which in a factor of course just one part is very good point very good point i got to say thank you all for coming on today but i'm swan rachel blevins most very good point very good point i got to say thank you all for coming on today but i'm swan rachel blevins michel greenstone branch of we're always a pleasure great discussions today. and that is our social greenstone branch of
