sometimes i like david brooks. sometimes i don't. today i absolutely despise what he wrote because he started out the article by saying, yes, this president should be impeached. and then he spends the rest of the article talking about why the politics are bad. you know what? there are still some people in america who believe that the right thing, the constitutional thing, is what should happen. if the democrats suffer because of this, then the democrats will suffer because of this. but they will have done the right thing. >> i will argue that it's not because they think they're doing the right thing but rather because since day 1, they can believe he actually beat hillary clinton. >> of course. that is the talking point of republicans. >> it happens to be legit. >> no. what's legit is when a president abuses power. i'm not saying yet that he has. i happen to be a believer in the process. >> dana: tony, rich, great to have you here. i love it when talk radio hosts come on. case of take two for house democrats now saying trump's ukrain

david brooks wrote elegantly on the simple concept and idea last week. >> suspeisn't this, though, whaned for, wherever it goes, the beginning of an inquiry, who knows how folks will vote on this, instances where it's alleged that the president put his own interests over the country's interests? i wonder if you think politically this might be damage and substantively an inquiry is justified? >> substantively i think an inquiry is justified. an impeachment, though, is ultimately, you know, the context is political and so while the substance is there, and this is again the point of david brooks who wrote on it last week, that, though, it may be justified, it will bring tremendous discord within the political system that will then usurp the electoral process that's now taking place on the democratic side and on the republican side what happens is that people circle the wagons. they feel as if their president is under threat. they circle the wagons that much harder and makes it that much more difficult to get your word out if you're a challenger. so again, the two are separate items in ter

that is syndicated columnist mark shields, and "nework times" columnist david brooks.lo to both ofu yo. let's start with the lead story, the whistleblower from the intelligence commuety. the words out, this person is alleging that he knows that the esident, in a conversation with -- now we think it's thet presid ukraine, urged the president of ukraine, mark, to investigate joe biden's son, and there's still no -- the president denies it and others do, but now we have several news outlets, backing of the story, and i was just handed and you've seen it, a statement by joe biden. he says these reorts are true. there's truly no bottom to presidenngtrump's wilss to abuse his power and this puntry. this behavior irticularly abhorrent because it exploits the foreign country and undermines national security for political purw pos. riously should we be taking these allegations?se >> i think they're enrmously serious, and the fact that the "wall street journal" leading this story, one of t "new york times" tanned "the washington post," but this is not false or fake news, it's no

focusing on the politics of it for a second, one thing david brooks writes is that democrats are playing president trump's game. he has no policy agenda, he is incompetent of improving people's lives but he is good at tv warsg, waging against political elites. he get to have a personality war against nancy pelosi and jerry nadler. this is what democracy is supposed to look like. why they would want to distract from that is beyond reason. trump against nadler is the contrast trump wants to drop. if we dohave no idea articles of impeachment if it would help trump, hurt trump or be neutral. my belief is we should not to impeachment for political reasons. not dold also not impeachment for political reasons. it should be based on facts. we need to look at the evidence and it should be our last option. but if we conclude the president of the united states halted political aide to a critical ally at a critical time and also had a conversation with a ukrainian leader to investigate a u.s. citizen for political purposes, that is a high crime. host: anthony, louisiana, independent, hello. caller:

so focusing on the politics of this for a second, one thing david brooks right is the democrats uplink trump's game. trump has no policy. he's incompetent at improving the lives of the american citizens or even his own voters but he's good one thing, waging reality tv personality wars against coastal elites. now over the next few months he gets to have a personality war against nancycy pelosi and jerrd nadler. democrats are having an exciting a substantive presidential primary season. this is what democracy is supposed to l look like. why do did want to distract frm that is beyond reason. >> guest: so i have no idea whether, if we do formal articles of impeachment, if it would help trump, hurt trump, be neutral. my belief is we shouldn't do impeachment for political reasons.f we also should not not do impeachment for political reasons. it's just got to be based on the facts and the law. we will assess what the evidence is. it needs to be our last option. but if we conclude a president of the trent halted military aid to a critical ally at a critical time and then in the content of that

. >> or don't, because victoria david brooks writes his argument is that yes, trump is guilt but impeachments a mistake. this is elitest. elections give millions and t s millions a voice. does he make a point? >> this is a tough one for me, chris. on one hand the political nerd in me says this impeachment process is a beautiful thing. this is exactly what our founding fathers visioned. this is the road map they put forward. maybe he is impeached, maybe not, but we're bringing the facts out into the light. so this is how the process is supposed to work. this is a beautiful propro-access that we need to respect. but voters care about whether or not they can get health care, if they can make rent, to do the car note. so voters are not jumping out of bed saying is impeachment on the table today. so on the day today, impeachment is not that big of a deal, but in terms of structural technology we can look at his twitter feed for how many times he has tweeted about him. and hi said are you insulted that donald trump didn't try to get dirt on you from ukraine. could this help joe biden? i thought th

david brooks in "the new york times," it's a column worth people reading. he points out the dangers and the reasons why you don't go forward with it. david hasn't convinced me. jury is still out in my mind, because i'm troubled. he's attacking whistle-blowers or people who know whistle-blowers. it's pathetic, okay? but the question is, where is the public? does this process move to a place where republicans can grudgingly say, this is a problem? and right now, i don't see it. >> well, i mean, you said, does one phone call lead to impeachment? if there's illegality on that one phone call, doesn't it? >> well, but that's a debate. that's a debate. if you asked the people who are going to have votes in congress, republicans, okay, is this a crime, i don't think you're going to get a lot of yeses, okay? you're going to get concern. you're going to get severe criticism. you may even get some condemnation, but that's not what we're talking about here. and i think that the democrats have to be careful that they're not rushing towards this, particularly because they

. >> what do you think of david brooks' comment this week. warren is very self-aware. she knows how she comes across, what she has to correct, which is smart in a politician. bernie's not selfie awa-aware. >> she's trying to build up her midwest background, massachusetts. bernie sanders is bernie sanders. he's a dishevelled guy. >> that's what his campaign sells. he says the same thing no matter what. for his supporters, a boon for him. a big question is can he expand i don't understand his base. >> dishevelled isn't a calculation, he just is. the trump campaign is pessimistic about michigan now because they won it by 10,000 after a midterm election that decimated the ranks of michigan republicans. trump's campaign is looking to other battle grounds he lost last time. let me go right now. >> this i think is a function of his entire presidency. he spent no time trying to reach out to voters that aren't his base, that puts new a precarious position. the democrats did very well and all the house races in michigan and in the governor's race, a wo

think there'd be a family meeting, we'd talk about oranges of the investigation, we'd talk about a david brooksolumn in 2017 where senators wondered if he wasn't displaying early signs of alzheimer's. we talk about instances where he seemed to slur his speech. we talked about an axios report where schedules were un-earthed and there's nothing on them. so i think if this is going to be an apples to apples question and it's on the table because of the age of two of the top candidates, it would seem that democrats are already getting a hold of themselves with these kind of attacks on biden. >> we are basically writing the attack ads if this continues for the republicans. and that is something that's incredibly dangerous because biden could very well be the nominee. i don't know. but that could be a likelihood. he is right now the frontrunner. and we can't do that. and the other thing about biden is that what people need to understand is he is the most well liked person in the race. people like him. there is a reason why he was affectionately called uncle joe. everybody knew who he was. i worked in

>> "the washington post" today -- i'm sorry "new york times" has a column by david brooks. and he's -- the headline of that column, he's guilty but impeachment is a mistake. so focussing on the politics of this for a second. one thing that david brooks writes is that democrats are playing trump's game here, he said trump has no policy agenda, he's incompetent at improving the lives of the american citizens or his voters but he's good at one thing, waging reality tv personality wars. so now he gets a war with nancy pelosi or jerry nadler. this is what democracy is supposed to look like. why they would want to distract from that is beyond reason. trump verse nadler is the contrast that trump wants to draw. >> i have no idea whether if we do formal impeachment, if it would help trump, hurt trump, be neutral. my belief is we shouldn't do impeachment for political reasons. we also should not not do impeachment for political reasons. it's just got to be based on the facts and the law. we'll assess what the evidence is, it needs to be our last option. if we conclude that the presi

david: we were told june. brooke is we have heard from european regulators who say we want to do our own flight tests and we have questions about the sensor that cause those crashes. they may be want to have another sensor. you cannot put that plane in the sky if you have two major regulators disagreeing. if you're an american, you want to take that risk and follow the fbi -- follow the faa and that have european regulators come back and say we have another problem. i do not know how realistically that plane can fly. david: you set airbus and boeing are both weaker. are they building their own? this is one of the issues. china does have some aeronautic capability. people have rejected that is where a lot of the growth would be in passenger flights, and china. brooke: those things are not quite ready yet and have not been certified by international regulators. that is the longer-term threat is that you shift, especially domestically, to their homegrown champion. they do want to have that eventually take market share f

david: what does this say for the aviation companies more broadly? brooke of the key points the pilots are making is that british airways has been doing very well. there profits are up, they have seen rising returns on invested capital in the pilot so we want a piece of the success. they were willing to take away cut during the financial crisis when the airline was struggling to keep things afloat. now that british airways is doing better, they want the wages to go up as well. it is the price of success that you are seeing airlines become more disciplined on the front and led to rising profits. pilots want some of that. alix: what is the pushback for the company on that? it seems fair. brooke: it does seem fair and the pilots have british airways in a tough spot. when you look at the demands they are breaking, british airways is also suffering on wall street because of the risk of a no deal brexit and the weakening of the pound. a weaker demand from u.k. customers. they are not in a position to continue to worsen the reputation by allowing this labor strike

trump's canceled talks with the taliban at camp david speak to michael o'hanlon who's a senior fellow and director of research in foreign policy at the brookings institution is alive in washington thank you very much for speaking to us present surprised a lot of people by calling off these talks with the taliban is it clear to you. goes into this briefing today what the u.s. administration's plans are for afghanistan right now. no it's not clear and i don't think it can be clearer frankly because if you look at the proposed 2 step process for peace the 2nd step is the hard one and it's primarily in the hands of afghans and i think it would be a mistake for the united states to think that it could somehow control that 2nd phase which hasn't even begun and also to make decisions about our longstanding or future troop commitments before that phase has begun we can talk about reducing by 5000 troops in exchange for the taliban breaking ties with isis and al qaida and we can also expect some reduction in violence that's the 1st deal that's the one that's been at least temporarily postponed i think it will still perhaps happen but even if it does it

david chalian, thank you so much. that is it for me. "newsroom" starts right now. >>> hello. thanks for joining us this hour. i'm erica hill in today for brookexplosive whistle-blower scandal a promise made to a foreign government and the president's defying attempts to discredit them because of rue fusal to give congress the urgent and credible certain filed by an intel official, lawmakers are pledging they will find out what is in that complaint. according to several reports today, the communication at issue involves ukraine. all of this as we're hearing from the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani who tells cnn he actually asked the government to investigate joe biden. one of the president's potential 2020 challengers. answering questions for the first time since this scandal broke, here's what the president

brooke baldwin. reports that top members of the president's own stf were against a possible meeting with the taliban on u.s. soil. leaders would have gone to camp david to mark a peace agreement in afghanistan. the president cancelled that meeting with the taliban. the plan sparking bipartisan outrage. sources telling cnn both mike pence and john bolton told the president not to bring the taliban to the u.s. the sources describe the president who originated the idea as wanting to showcase its success in reaching a deal in the most presidential of settings, camp david. he's been the site of peace accords. i always think it's good to meet and talk, in this case, i decided not to. the dishonest media likes to create the look of turmoil. the vice president sending out his own tweet saying, the story is not what it had been reported as jake anchor of the lead and state of the union. despite that tweet, it's not often that we hear about the vice president going against the president. that's a big deal. >> it is, and sources in the administration are telling our reporter that vice president pence did not agree, nor did john bolton with the idea of hosting t

david's article here. we're talking about democrats here, how can they survive a possible impeachment inquiry? some republicans can't take it any more. they're voting with their feet. respective susan brooksnning for the exits, david? >> yeah, i think that is absolutely why we see republicans leaving. i think some of the republican stuff about socialism wrong. hillary clinton was not a socialist and everyone lined up behind donald trump. i admire those quitting. i think some of those staying are always going to find an execution for why they're supporting trump. they made it about hillary clinton personally. i think at the end of the day they're essentially willing to follow trump because he is popular with the base and the other stuff ends up being excuses. >> those are the rank and file members that i can tell you have a choice between getting their health care taken away. that is what it would do, take away private health care insurance. what we saw in the first debate, david, where you had the talk about decriminalization of illegal border crossings. health care benefits for illegal immigrants. that actually is not ration rationalizational. >> i wrote a column that said stop helping t
