alexander are trying to square their conscience and politics. one point i want to make, alisyn, before i go. a couple of others things happened yesterday, lindsey graham was going to launch a counter-attack against joe biden because of impeachment. a counter-attack. you have senators saying what the president did -- what they say he did, he did, and it was wrong. now we're going to launch a counter-attack. what does that mean? it was deeply concerning. joni ernst, the senator from iowa said we might impeach biden on the first day because of ukraine when no one has proven even to the slightest degree biden himself had done anything wrong. so those were kind of troubling tremors coming out of these republicans yesterday. we'll see where it leads. >> i noticed those coming attractions as well. and we will see if they ever want to explain the details of what they have in store. >> do you see coming distractions? >> i didn't. well played p governor granholm, david axelrod, thank you very much. >>> okay, john. the kansas city chiefs won. i don't know if you know that. >> they are, in fact, super bowl champions. i have to say there are other winners this mor

alexander said he knew donald trump was guilty. that is what he'll be remembered for. when you talk with republicans members, do they care about place in history? lindsey grahammembered as a sycophant to trump and a hypocrite in the way he spoke about him before and sucks up to him now? >> i don't know. i do know when i ask the question, i mentioned this in the times piece, when i asked, okay, you vote to acquit. the senate is going to acquit him regardless of your vote. what do you do, what do we all do to make the president to change his behavior so it doesn't get worse? they shrug and look sheepish. they don't have an answer. i watched the president as we all did in the east room, right after the exoneration, and to watch all the sycophantic politicians sitting there and laughing with them and clapping with him and clapping for him was just untoward of any of this. i like what adam schiff said when he talked about cords of steel will bind them to this president, and for all of history. and that's exactly right. they're going to be embarrassed by this vote. it might be next month. it might be three months from now. it might be a year from now when more thin
