barrett berger former assistant u.s. attorney with both the eastern district of new york and the southern district of new york. you'd think i'd memorandum ridesed this by now. and jonathan amir, white house reporter for the associated press also is among our political analysts. >>> congresswoman, i'm going to begin with you with a quote from chuck schumer from our own interview with him about an hour ago. i looked at my republican colleagues, 90% of them were glued and fixated, and that's hard to do because they'd rather be looking down talking to each other. they don't want to hear what i think is the truth here. but they were fixated on these arguments. whether it moves them, we shall see. hope springs eternal. do you think there is anything else the democratic team can do? >> i don't. and i think when you listen to adam schiff this evening really pull it all together, what he did was he gave voice to the emotion that many of us are feeling hearing all of this evidence and knowing, as he said, we know he did it. and so

berit berger, form assistant u.s. attorney with the eastern district of new york and the southern district of new york. and jonathan lemire, white house reporter for the associated press and of course one of our political analysts. senator, i'll begin with you. your summation after this long day. >> well, i thought once again they did a very, very good job. now, i'm probably too cynical tonight because i spent too much time this afternoon on the phone to some of my -- the offices and to some of my former colleagues when they were on breaks. and i got to tell you i am very worried because what i'm hearing is the president and mitch mcconnell have an artificial time line for finishing this up. >> what does that mean? >> which is another way of saying, you know, it's going to be done by next friday. the president wants this to be behind him before the super bowl because he gets interviewed at the super bowl and before the state of the union. so i really think that is sad that we are going to make a decision about witness

berger was an analysis of the different ways that house and the senate sort of caucuses, the republican and democratic caucuses, are working and can anybody remember how berger sort of described it particularly with regard to the republicans in the house, versus the republicans in the senate? does maybe remember what he had to say about that? so he talked about how the house caucus, the republican members, have pretty safe seats, same with the democrats. most house members have pretty safe seats. there's a very high level of incumbency in the house and senate in general, but particularly in the house these days, so the house members who are republicans in a certain sense don't have to worry very much with regard to the folks in their districts necessarily being upset with them if they are if favor of the president. what he said with regard to them they're more worried about what kind of a challenge, and this is also somewhat in your readings, a tea party stuff, challenge, right, that the republicans in congress, particularly in the house, are much more concerned about a primary challeng

eric berger, senior space editor for online magazine ars technica spoke to me at the start of the launch, and in about an hour's time they are going to be deployed and then we will have a basis of an internet constellation in space later this year. we should stay with that for a moment, that brings the total number of satellites, part of its starlink network to just under 180 but the company says that could one day total 42,000. resulting in much more crowded skies. i think there are concerns out there this could in many ways threaten our view of the cosmos, not improve it? there are several concerns, to be sure. one is that astronomers looking up the night sky see these trains of satellites, they launch in batches of 60 and they go along the sky one after the other, and that does disrupt the sky at certain points when you have these powerful telescopes looking up. another concern is that as you put more satellites in space you have more chance of collision which is another big concern. and the communication we are talking about could surely be done just as well from the ground? well, so

to it that is an open question if you go out into the senate chamber which our producer catherine berger has done you can see that the senators themselves some are taking notes some are and last night as these arguments went of well into the middle the night some were taking now so it's a situation where certainly they're taking this very seriously paying attention and then on the outside speaking with reporters sticking by their partisan gods no surprises there with democrats extremely critical of the president saying that you know he endangered national security and that he's guilty of a cover up in not allowing congress to fully investigate these accusations while present trends republican defenders saying that they will go down in history as defending the president's innocence in this matter and of course the context of all this as you pointed out the beginning fully is it is a huge hurdle to cross in order for these democrats to convince the senate to convict or remove president 2 thirds majority meaning 20 republican senators would have to agree to do that and at this point that is
