the republican senators or mike braun of indiana, john barrasso of wyoming. here's what senator braun had to say about the "new york times" story. >> i odyssey we got some new information that is hit the scene and i will cut to the chase. it really doesn't change anything in terms of the process. we knew that the discussion of witnesses would be here soon and i think every senator that i know has said that they will cross that bridge when they get to it. each has a different opinion probably of how important that's going to be. we will emphasize that to date, accepting what we heard last night that the case has been weak, built on kind of a circumstantial platform. there was actually and when i was walking off a one day there was no aid actually delivered. the wasn't beading, no pressure, no investigation. i think the president has already acknowledged that what bolton is contending in his book promo is not the case. i think what it's done has taken already a hot topic and add some fuel to the fire. and for me and from a place like indiana, it still goes back

. >> senator mike braun, i appreciate that and appreciate you joining us live on the show here. again, thank you for your time. we're going to stay live on capitol hill with our eyes on the other chamber over in the house, specifically house speaker nancy pelosi, less than 10 minutes away at this point. she'll be speaking from that podium right there about all of this. we've got our team in the room to find out just when, just when she is going to transmit those impeachment articles. but first we're on swamp watch with new reporting on how the trump administration is really trying to put the secret in secret service. also good news for ruth bader ginsburg, she's announcing in an interview she's officially cancer-free. the 83-year-old had surgery on cancer of her pancreas. a variety of important cases, second amendment challenges to roe v. wade. second amendment challenges to roe v. wade. we need to keep moving!

mike braun of indiana suggested democrats do want to hear from witnesses, it would come at a price. >> if you want itnesses, i can't imagine where anybody would agree unless there was reciprocity. you get a witness, we get a witness. so that means you're talking about bolton, mulvaney, you're talking about hunter biden, maybe joe biden, maybe the whistle-blower, and i think it's disingenuous for them to talk about witnesses like it's in a vacuum. >> and i'm joined now by that senator you just heard from. re indiana. you're technically a freshman senator. >> i am. don't feel like it. >> welcome to the nfl as they say. welcome to "meet the press." let me get on this witness question i want to get at it by you first hearing something, peggy noonan said to me on friday, take a listen >> get them in there show history you did your best avoid the stigma of, yeah, they won, but they didn't let the extra people talk. >> yeah. >> avoid the stigma. respect history. make the case big, end of story. >> she's basically saying, you've got the votes be magnanimous if you want to essentially heal the

we will ask senator mike braun about that.irst we go to kevin cork with key moments from day 2 of the arguments. >> you don't hear it often, at least not allowed but in washington people know the deal but if you lose a senator like lisa murkowski you've got real problems and in particular in a circumstance when we are talking about trial where one vote could mean the difference between more evidence and witnesses or not and that is certainly the circumstance we are dealing with in this instance. let me tell you what seems to have upset the senator from alaska. she was upset by jared nadler's assertion that gop members voting against allowing new testimony and evidence would be engaged in a cover-up. she said this to reporters as one listening attentively and working to get a fair process, i was offended. added susan collins from the state of maine, i was stunned by congressman nadler's approach adding shortly thereafter, the chief justice did admonish both sides and i was glad that he did. we all saw that play out and keep in

. >> senators mike braun of indiana and tim scott south carolina spoke to reporters about the possible timeline for process and votes following the end of the impeachment trial against president trump. >> the crowd is spending a little. not much new to talk about. i do have some information on what happens tomorrow. we are down to two hours and 53 minutes left today. so if we end up in a tie vote, that could be overruled by the chair, unlikely we think it might happen. so if it's a tie vote, the way the motion is constructed you would not move on with more witnesses. i was a little uncertain about how that would work and i think that's the way it will work. it will be up to four hours up to debate on the motion tomorrow, two hours on each side should you choose to take it. >> i expect not to have a tie vote by the way. i think it will be 51-49. >> chief justice could but your guess is as good as anyone's. it's uncharted territory. >> you are acknowledging it is under the rules? >> i think tim is right, i think will be a moot point but everybody is asking that. it was nothing new to tal

job than the house, you emphasize that and i think that's what every individual is grappling mike braun, i know it's a short break, we appreciate you taking time with us. >> you bet. etch go to bring in pete down the list of grievances regarding the mueller investigation, regarding the findings of the horowitz report. you were watching along with that. what was your take? >> i don't see what t t with i guess jay sekulow was saying look at the kind of people who have been beating up on the president, it ain't fair. but none of that has to do with the claim that's in the two impeachment counts here that came from the house all stemming from the phone call. the house decided not to include any material saying that he had obstructed justice in the mueller investigation. so i guess you could chalk that up to sort of trying to say, look at the problems this president has had. lester, if i can just raise one other point here. >> sure. >> if -- you know, two things may happen. the senate may ask john bolton to testify, or -- and there's some talk about this apparently now -- s their hands on th

we get remarks from senators barrasso, ernst, braun and cruz. later we also hear from house manager adam schiff. >> there we go. [inaudible conversations] >> senator cruz, a pleasure to see you. >> good evening. >> a quick question. >> is there logical reason not to have bolton testify? >> this afternoon was devastating for the house managers. for the first time in the entire proceeding we have heard just the beginning of the serious evidence of corruption involving burisma, the ukrainian natural gas company that paid hunter biden, joe biden's son a million dollars a year while-- let me answer, i'll answer the question. >> could you answer the question, appreciate it. >> let me the question without interrupting me, please. >> you got it. >> burisma paid hunter biden, joe biden's son a million dollars a year while hunter biden threatened ukraine to withhold a billion dollars in aid unless and until they fired the prosecutor investigating his son. joe biden threatened-- joe biden, vice-president. united states and we just saw a video which would e

senators chuck schumer, chris coons, mike braun, ten scott john barrasso made remarks. >> [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> good evening. it's been an interesting and long day of questions. part of what i think is constructive about this and makes me hopeful the american people are following it is that it has provided a number of opportunities for the house managers to answer some questions addressed -- address some issues and revisit core pieces of the case, in particular with regard to subpoenas and to the president's like it obstruct your refusal to produce any witnesses, any documents. i'm particularly struck at one recent development that hasn't been highlighted or discussed today, and that's the general john kelly who is the former chief of staff to president trump has publicly said he believes john bolton. i'd like folks to focus on what that means. what that means is that knowing former national security adviser john bolton is alleged to have said president trump did order him to withhold aid to ukraine in order to try and leverage a baseless investigatio

t w correspondent hans braun joins me now here in the studio good morning to you all it's a 75 years after auschwitz hans and what can we expect at today's ceremonies well they'll be dozens of heads of state and government from across europe and from across the world at the ceremony today one can expect that all of them will warn against a rise of anti-semitism that one has observed all over war over the world also here in germany enter in europe the warning that something else like happened in the 2nd world war the symbol of which all she was is this kind of extermination should never happen again but at the same time obviously it's a memorial ceremony for those hundreds of thousands that were murdered at this camp and also a show of respect for the about $200.00 thought $200.00 survivors who will be attending today now today's of course as you mentioned very much about the remaining survivors here's the story of one of them the feed living. at home in this one bedroom apartment in berlin dotted levine lives here alone his wife is new to a nursing home he's one of the last remaining

republican senator mike braun, congressman nunes all here to react.lus, as they trump defense team honed in on the misdeeds. hunter biden reaches a deal with the mother of his child in an effort to avoid a court appearance. how long can he stay out of the limelight? that is later. first, the bolton red herring. that is the focus of tonight's angle. i'm beginning to think i am a complete masochist because i was back on capitol hill today to said for the second time in the senate calorie and observe this travesty of an impeachment trial. while of course it was great to hear from the defense team, especially alan dershowitz. i walked away even more disgusted over what the democratic house has done to america. if it's even possible, i am more outraged that the four squishy senators are toying with prolonging this national nightmare. in a utterly predictable turn, the resistance media went gaga when word leaked that john bolton supposedly dropped a bombshell. a leaked secondhand account of his upcoming book. the media was sure that this would alter the cou

question from senator scott and braun for counsel for the president. if speaker pelosi, chairman schiff, chairman nadler and senate democrats were so convinced of the president's conduct and overwhelming evidence of impeachable defense that prompted the inquiry, why were the republicans denied the procedural accommodations and rights afforded to the minority party in the clinton impeachment. additionally why were the president's counsel and agency attorneys denied access to cross examine witnesses during committee testimony and present the testimony of witnesses in defense of the issues under review? review? >> thank you, mr. chief justice. members. sena members of the senate, i don't know why they would do that, i don't know. they vie latted every past precedent. they violated all forms of due process. now they say that's a process argument and it is, but it's more than that. it's more than that. if you feel confident in your facts, then why do you design a process that completely shuts out the president? why do you cook up the facts in a basement ski

republican senator make braun told "meet the press" sunday he didn't see anything new from the demonstrate's> i paid attention to each version of the house inquiry. behind closed doors, public version from four constitutional experts and really looking for what i found that was new and it was repackaging. >> reporter: on saturday, president's defense kicked off. new snow, video was released over the weekend capturing president trump at a private dinner party in april 2018. mr. trump is heard ordering marie yovanovitch, the former ambassador to ukraine to be fired. >> she's basically walking around telling everybody wait he's going to get impeached. just wait. >> get rid of her. get her out. get her out. take her out. >> reporter: that cell phone video and audio was sent to the house and the eagles committee by the attorney for lev parnas, one of two indicted associates of rudy giuliani. parent julian assange' attorney joseph bondy hopes it convince senators to vote in favor of having witnesses and evidence in their trial. but the senate could take final votes on the impeachment charges as ea

. >> senator mike braun from indiana. i was listening to the people before me because i think you learn a lot from that. i want to talk about where this trial is going to go, put into context little bit. i haven't been here that long but needless to say the first year has been a doozy. never thought of the city in on something like this. i was listening to lindsey, thought it would be over. i think we all wished it would have been, the mueller report fell flat and now we're in the second act. i'm going to relate to this to the year i spent on the campaign trail running in a practical, functional state like indiana. and i generally get a pretty good idea of what lies down the road. that's the essence of being a good main street entrepreneur and all i can tell you is we made it through the primary and i didn't realize the vitriol that we've got in this country. and now being here a year, you wonder how we are going to through it. my election played out like that. by the time you're done, and i thought i came from a pretty w

dana, stand by, joining us now, republican senator from indiana mike braun.>> we may have to break away briefly. let's start with a key issue now, do you believe senator that freezing u.s. military assistance to ukraine almost $400 million denying the new president of ukraine zelensky a meeting at the house and demanding an investigation in the president's political rival the former vice president joe biden, whose son hunter biden, do you believe that was benefiting u.s. national interests, benefiting americans, or benefiting the president's personal political interests? >> so obviously that's the question that we all have been trying to grapple with. and i think for me, i watch the house proceedings so closely, through all three versions, behind closed doors, public version, and then the four constitutional experts. and i think it is a serious question. and all along, you know, i've said that it was inappropriate. probably shouldn't have done it. is it impeachable? because, wolf, what we're dealing with here is a very binary equation. if you are impeached, a

the world i expect that he will say similar things in auschwitz today so much for that today hans braun for us will have special coverage marking 70 years since the liberation of auschwitz throughout the day here on d w let's get you a brief down some of the other stories making the news around the world a dutch prime minister mark wrote to has apologized for his country's role during the holocaust saying it did too little to protect jewish citizens from nazi persecution is the 1st from here to make such an apology some 100000 jews from the netherlands were killed by the nazis. every democratic senators in the u.s. have renewed their demands for testimony from former national security advisor john bolton in the impeachment trial of president trump a leak from a bolton soon to be released book reportedly confirms that trump wanted to withhold security aid from ukraine until it investigated joe biden his political rival. and the democratic leader of the house impeachment proceedings adam schiff has accused president trump of threatening him online the president tweeted schiff is corrupt a

. >> the question from senator braun and barrasso for the counsel for the president. the house managers have said the country must be saved from this president and he does not have the best interest of the american people and their families in mind. do you wish to respond to that claim? >> mr. chief justice, members of the senate. while the house managers are coming before you and accusing the president of doing things in their words, solely for personal and political gain and claiming that he is not doing things in the best interest of the american people, the american people are telling you just the opposite. the president's approval rating while we are sitting here in the middle of these impeachment proceedings have hit an all-time high. a recent poll shows that the american people are the happiest they have been with the direction of the country in 15 years. whether it's the economy, security, military preparedness, safer streets or safer neighborhoods, they're all way up. we, the american people are happier. and yet the house managers tell you that the president

council. >> thank you. >> question from senator scott and braun for counsel for the president. >> if speaker pelosi, chairman schiff, chairman nadler and house democrats were so confident in the gravity of the president's conduct in the overwhelming evidence of an impeachable defense that probed the inquiry, why was the house republicans denied the procedural accommodation and substance rights afforded to the minority party in clinton impeachment. additionally, why were the president's counsel and agency attorneys denied access to cross-examine witnesses during committee testimony and present the testimony of witnesses and defense of the issues under review. >> thank you mr. chief justice, members of the senate. i don't know why they would do that. i don't know. they violated every past president, they violated all forms of due process, now they say that the process argument, and it is but it's more than that. it is more than that. if you feel confident in your fax then why do you design a process that completely shuts out the president. why do you cook up the fax in a basement skiff

this is what mike braun told us about where the republicans are on witnesses. let me play it. >> all that heavy lifting should have been done over there, where we maybe had an easier case to sort out. if you look at it as witnesses being that next marginal thing you need to do to have fairness, do a better job than the house, you emphasize that, and i think that's what every individual is grappling with that's now in a place where they don't know what to do. >> we jumped on that, it was a shift of where braun seemed to indicate the conference was just 24 hours earlier. >> that's right, it was remarkable to me, and it read like a weather vain. it's been interesting how many interviews senator braun has been doing throughout this process. we have been chasing republican senators that zbursed out of that meeting 45 minutes ago. mitch mcconnell and his team are holding the line on witnesses. he was previously the whip, he said at this point it's not clear, there's nothing finalized on witnesses, but there's a clear sense. i also spoke with several other senators as
