exactly is the intelligence that led to this strike that now is putting american lives at risk as palosi said now this was in response to president trump who earlier on sunday tweeted this he said these media posts will serve as notification to the united states congress that should iran's strike any u.s. person or target the united states will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate matter such legal notice is not required but it is given nonetheless that was pretty much trump right there snubbing his nose at palosi in congress saying listen if i want to strike back at iran i'll do it and these tweets are my notification to you that i will do so so pretty remarkable and unprecedented that a u.s. president would notify congress through tweets but that is the preferred means of communication for president donald trump. there live with the latest from washington dave thank you. well james dorsey is a senior fellow at the south rajaratnam school of international studies in nanyang technological university in singapore singapore and joins us from there now so the lega

got mitch mcconnell who's standing firm saying look send them over or we're not starting you've got palosi saying hey i want to dictate the terms of the trial before us in the thing over and almost you know the president sitting on the sidelines kind of watching as a spectator we think is going to go. well i think eventually pelosi has got to since something over i mean how much longer can she wait can she hold them until i don't know the summer the fall when the elections are going on i know that larry look when i was trying cases as a prosecutor you couldn't sit on and you return the charges you had to send them over to a judge for the jury to pick up and start try or you got a case thrown out of court yeah baleen you're a prosecutor you knew the defense was right and you knew and still says start of the suit. and if you had a certain date in the sense that the information that they won't give to you what do you do boy oh boy that's that's a great point and it sort of goes to this point that i've thought about a lot is that politics and prosecution don't mix do that i mean this is politi

informed that trump says no it was killing a terrorist so i didn't have to inform congress but but palosi just simply does not agree with that and it doesn't follow the normal protocols of something like this so she's hoping that this week when congress comes back she is going to call this vote to hold trump to account on this it's a little bit symbolic because trump can really do what he wants when it comes to strikes against the people he considers to be terrorist nevertheless palosi really trying to send a message to trump and his administration now trump earlier on sunday said ok you want me to inform you what i do strikes against iran so he sent out a tweet that said this these media posts will serve as notification to the united states congress that should iran strike any u.s. person or target the united states will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner such legal notice is not required but is given nevertheless so trump basically snubbing congress saying you want any warning that i might strike iran well there it is i just tweeted the warning really

house of representatives will vote on sending the articles of impeachment to the senate here's what palosi had to say about the choice of prosecutors the emphasis is on litigators the emphasis is on comfort level in the courtroom the emphasis is making the strongest possible case to protect and defend our constitution to seek the truth for the american people i'm very proud and honored that the 7 members distinguished members have accepted this serious responsibility again to protect and defend for the people defending our democracy did have these problems fully aliya is in washington watching all of the latest developments for us there hi pablo so the impeachment managers have been selected what happens next. well what happens next is 1st i should mention what the impeachment managers are essentially what they are is they act like if this were a court of law like the prosecutors so they'll be the ones who'll be arguing the case for the impeachment to impeach president for him to be found guilty of those articles of impeachment before we get the bad of course the next stage is that nancy p

could very well be interpreted as well by many quarters and it is as an act of war and that's why palosi and many democrats politicians on capitol hill were so upset that trump did not inform them in advance and that's why palosi says this week when congress comes back the house of representatives is going to draft up a bill and have a vote on it to call trying to account on this to basically put pressure on him to inform congress before he does any other potential military action in iran this all comes after trump on sunday basically responding to this criticism from congress on not being informed about this trump tweeted this he said these media posts will serve as notification to the united states congress that should iran strike any u.s. person or target the united states will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner such legal notice is not required but it is given nevertheless there you have it basically trump saying congress you want to be informed about a possible strike against iran well there you have it i just tweeted it to you quite remarkable un

us speak an icy palosi united says resolution meanwhile to curb from civility to attack iran however a similar restriction was stripped from a defense bill. just last month on the russian president vladimir putin held the syrian camps in damascus amid the rising tensions in the middle east i'd also to this weekend a new i know there are political correctness seems to continue notably over the new gangster film that we put be issued.

serious i'm bringing troops home who yelled and screamed the most not about the constitution but it was palosi and her guy was saying oh no he should do that he should do that. at that time you know removing troops is what we want as a libertarian no nobody should be paying switching parties or at least at this time of year because it's all politicized you have to separate the 2 groups of people who think the united states has an eye has an empire to fan and that they are morally justified to do it versus those of us who believe that we should be noninterventionist and follow the constitution and follow international law and the extra 3 fellows into u.s. troops are actually being deployed to the region growing tension was not on the table from the start do you think what what this washington's strategy for the reason for the region as it stands well i think it's been very clear this is one thing that trump deserves credit for he's been consistent in his campaign and everything is going on he always wants to escalate you know the antagonism toward iran other places it's up and down and back and

rubio a republican and a conservative speaking in support of donald trump and criticizing the anti palosi for her criticisms of the president and the moment in which these missiles have been fired this is the exchange we saw on social media closely monitoring the situation phone bombing star getting u.s. troops in iraq we must ensure the safety of our service members including and needless provocations from the administration and demanding that iran sees its violence american world cannot afford war iran is now openly calling for americans to turn on each other the time will come to debase u.s. policy tonight's american and allied troops have come into direct attack by nation state and americans must come together to support and protect them and respond appropriately may god protect and watch over our troops stationed in iraq my thoughts are with them and with their loft once i condemn iran's attacks which targets u.s. coalition and iraqi military personnel in the strongest terms i'm monitoring the situation in iraq closely and praying for our men and women in uniform the iranian regime h

house that she sent to her democratic colleagues this just came in to us literally a minute ago and palosi sent this letter to her democratic colleagues in saying that this week the house of representatives will introduce and vote on a war powers resolution to limit the president's military actions regarding iraq and in the letter it says reasserts congress long standing long established oversight responsibility by mandating that if no further congressional action is taken the administration says military hostilities with regard to iran must cease within 30 days now just briefly here to. keppen good put a little bit in context when president trump ordered this strike that killed so that money and others he did it on his own without it by using congress in advance and that really upset nancy pelosi who said that he should have been biased congress in advance because congress has an oversight responsibility so essentially what he's saying now is get ready because now when congress reconvenes on tuesday she says she's going to call it into session and basically. have a vote on this basically

party is the work party and they're in charge in washington and this is very clear from biden to palosi to war and to all the democrats responding they're not saying no war with iran will stop their saying it's great that you killed the sky but you should have done a little bit differently so this is the real problem we have we are in a one party state daniel mcadams executive director of the ron paul institute thanks your time and insight. thank you well we'll be back with more on this breaking news in other stories after this short break. you know world's big partners. a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developing the only relief i'm go

intelligence that led to this very this such of this strike and in the letter in the statement from palosi she says this classified war powers act notification delivered to congress raises more questions than it answers so upset in congress there because a lot of suspicion and a lot of questions being asked and doubts on what exactly is intelligence that is leading america down this path right now yeah gavan the new york times is reporting that pentagon officials was stunned when trump chose the most extreme option of killing sort of money when other choices were given to the president. yeah this is really remarkable the new york times has article and administration officials are telling the new york times that trump was the presented with what's called a menu of options by the pentagon this is normal procedures here in situations like this and these are options for the u.s. to retaliate militarily after after the u.s. embassy was attacked in baghdad trump was apparently watching those images of the fires outside the embassy walls and he was infuriated and pentagon officials presented trum

informing congress of such an act like this now she is going to do something about it on thursday palosi said that she's going to be calling to the floor of the house of representatives a war powers resolution and she said they were will actually call a vote on it as well that would limit trump on what he can do militarily against iran in the future it would essentially say that if trump wanted to do any other military action against iran he would 1st need to consult. the house of representatives and congress now it is important to point out that this is a little bit symbolic because this assuming it will pass then would have to go to the senate for ratification and given that the senate is dominated by the republican party most of whom if not all have rallied behind president trump it's unlikely that this would be signed in any any sort of formal law but this is really polo sees way of registering her dissatisfaction with the fact trump did not inform her and her colleagues before this happened trying to limit what he can do in the future now clearly. trump administration officials brie

serious i'm bringing troops home who yelled and screamed the most not about the constitution but it was palosi and her guy was an o. no he should do that he should do that. at that time you know removing troops is what we want as a libertarian no nobody should be pandered to switch parties or at least at this time of year because it's all politicized you have to separate the 2 groups of people who think the united states has an eye has an empire to defend and that they are morally justified to do it versus those of us who believe that we should be noninterventionist and follow the constitution and follow international law an extra 3 fellows and 2 u.s. troops are actually being deployed to the region growing tension was not on the table from the start do you think what what this washington's strategy for the reason for the region as it's. well i think it's been very clear this is one thing that trump deserves credit for he's been consistent in his campaign and everything is going on he always wants to escalate you know the antagonism toward iran other place it's up and down and back and forth a

you know people of different backgrounds different beliefs so it is tough i do think that when palosi talks about you know president being illegitimate that doesn't help i mean yes he lost the popular vote but he won he won the electoral college that's the system we have in place and i think what she's referring to is probably some of the tactics the campaign used in working with wiki leaks and roger stone some of his associates who sort of may have broken laws to get it done but he won and they did win and i think there's so many people on my party that do have what trump calls a trump derangement syndrome t.d.'s that is that is real and i think anything sometimes sets people all well and we've got to be able to get beyond that i i really i really compliment you for saying that you're a man of great character to say that because that's obvious the asli true ryan you want to jump in go ahead. no i agree with kevin the 1st time in a while it agreed with a democrat in the conversation but no i commend you for that the democratic party has a lot of self reflection there's a lot of things

congressional approval here's what he writes hope that all house republicans will vote against crazy now see palosi as war powers resolution also remember her speed and rush in getting the impeachment hoax voted on and done well she never said the articles to the senate just another democrat fraud presidential harassment it's not presidential harassment it's constitutionally mandated particularly when it comes to the discussion of war it must be debated it must be something that this is discussed and approved by congress so the us president can push back but the reality is that this is a law and he has no more power than the us congress he's not the only one pushing back his vice president is doing it to yeah and it is how did you cast her mention there there have been briefings that have been taking place on capitol hill and it's not just democrats that don't like those briefings that have been coming from the president's top security advisers it's also some members of his own republican party they feel a couple of things haven't happened they haven't justified that strike on general soul of money

yeah that's right this letter came out late on sunday and it it really signals how much palosi and the democrats are upset that the fact that trump has not followed normal washington protocols when he did this strike killing solo money see as furious that trump did not inform congress in advance of the strike and also has not given more details about what exactly is the intelligence that he said that trump an administration official say why it was so urgent to kill solo money and thus have to now deploy all these american troops and potentially put american lives at risk she said that the strike was provocative and in her letter she says as members of congress our 1st responsibility is to keep the american people safe for this reason we are concerned that the administration took this action without the consultation of congress and without respect for congress is war powers granted to it in the constitution so should be taking this up in congress in the house of representatives this week and voting on something that would show trump basically hold him to account for that strike that kil

before anything like this ever happens again in the near future especially with regard to iran who palosi has put together correct me if i'm wrong he is utterly unique in the annals of u.s. political history so does it mean that in the future if mr trump wants to do something similar or who have a follows mr trump wants to do something similar they've got to tell congress we are doing it or have they got to go to congress and explain the strategy as well. well that's what congress wants but you know what this ain't going to happen it be it'll pay it has passed the house which is a democratic majority but it's won't pass the senate which as a republican majority and president trump no president fact will sign this bill so it will not go into effect it's more less a statement that congress is unhappy with the risky way in which president trump took action against iran without informing congress without consulting experts really on his own authority if for example that had been a dozen americans all not ukrainian plame what do you think mr trump would be doing now he be very angry as were mo

any strike against iran in any way in the less they notified congress in advance and that's because palosi and many of her democratic colleagues and even a couple republicans as well were fear eous because trump did not inform congress before calling in the strike that assassinated solmonese so this is what's going to be happening thursday at the house of representatives however it is important to note that this does need to go if it is passed which it most likely will given that the democrats control the house of representatives it then would go to the senate and in order for it to go into law it would need to pass the senate that seems highly unlikely given that the republicans hold a considerable advantage in the senate nevertheless a pretty strong symbolic statement by nancy pelosi wanting to call trump to account with that said also on wednesday trump administration sent over some officials to the house and senate to brief them on this so-called imminent threat that soleimani posed and many lawmakers and politicians came out of that closed door meeting very upset saying that they did

follows bribery is clearly a justification for impeachment and earlier on in the investigation miss palosi yourself said there was a solicitation of bribery here namely president trump solicited something of value to himself personally assistance in the 2020 campaign to influence his official act in releasing military aid to ukraine why wasn't that charge they have this vague argument of what's abuse of power. well abuse of power is nowhere in the constitution itself so it much the tracks i think from the ability to strike strike the winning blow to say you can't dispute that bribery is an impeachable offense but they walked away from that in my view it's because nancy pelosi 'd had her tactics dictated by the so-called moderate democrats who fear they could lose the 2020 reelection campaign because they are so-called trying districts versus always good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us bruce find that in washington. iran's president has reiterated his call for all foreign troops to leave the middle east and some rouhani said that american troops are not safe in the regio

military wing of a sovereign nation clearly by many quarters is considered an act of war and so palosi said she should have been. notified of this before it happened in 4 of the normal protocols of while washington works and so she said that this week when congress reconvenes she's going to take up some action that would hold trump account to account on that and forced him to try to explain his actions more so we'll be seeing a lot of that in the coming week in congress this all comes after earlier on sunday after trump was receiving a lot of pressure from congress to trump tweeted this and listen carefully he tweeted these media posts will serve as notification to the united states congress that should iran strike any u.s. person or target the united states will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner such legal notice is not required but is given nevertheless that was basically reaction saying hey congress you want to be notified here it is i just tweeted it we might strike iran should they strike us really unprecedented that a president would break the
