b6 carville's statement here is interesting.ident isn't ready for this, and then he lays out the three things we did to fight impeachment. paint the process as partisan, question the issue at hand, and rally the base. well, what in the world has been happening for a month? class with the term white house is doing. to his point cup i think the president is approaching this just the way -- the approval rating is lower. if you want to trust that poll. i don't think dominic norwood has come critique is is i don't know what is critique actually is. >> jessica: is a little different, and lindsey graham as chris has a present for this. he doesn't have a war room for this. president clinton was set up to be president and go to battle on impeachment. the west wing was bifurcated. these are the impeachment people and these are the governing people. >> harris: you can see the thought bubble above my head, dagen. you've got to wait until the process actually gives you something to fight specifically. this is why i asked you earlier, does th

james carville remains with us. james, the biden campaign is coming off a rough go. they chose a weird week to go into power save mode. he had himself defined on ukraine by donald trump for over five business days. now just emerging from that. what do you make of the president's line of attack? >> let me start with what he said. i'll be 75 the week avnet. i grew up in south louisiana. farmer in the late '50s and early '60s. i know what means. same thing when you start about the central park five and went into birtherism and now this. this is no hidden trick here. this is exactly what you think it is. in terms of vice president biden, i thought trump threw him a life line. he was attacking him and he just comes up and say he spends 20 times more attacking me than anybody else because he knows i'll beat him, and he knows i'm competent. he knows how to do things and how to appoint an attorney general, all the laws that occurred in the statute of limitations are enforced in this country. he is scared to death of me. and if they would have just stayed and drilled down on

gators are good, but i think we're going get them. >> james carville, lsu forever.hank you very much for being with us from los angeles tonight. >> thank you. >>> coming up, a closer look at the so-called deep state. the trump presidency and the fbi with a journalist who just wrote the book on it when we come back. >>> more details tonight on those national security officials who first voiced concern over trump's dealings with ukraine. "washington post" quotes a former senior official as saying "those involved in sounding alarms were not a swamp, not a deep state. rather, they were white house officials who got concerned about this because this is not the way they want to see the government run." tonight we welcome an author who has gone and called his latest book "deep state: trump, the fbi, and the rule of law." james b. stewart is a pulitzer prize winner, author of "den of thieves," among his other books. he also happens to be a harvard educated lawyer, staff writer at "the new yorker" and in his spare time a professor of business journalism at columbia universit

james carville. dan, can i get a working definition of "prissy?" i think he was referring to ken starr being upset about the president's head down like alleged activities know it has pretty thought it was prissy for to investigate that. ultimately the article of impeachment that mattered with bill clinton was that he lied, which is a real crime, unlike what is going on with the impeachment of donald trump. he is comparing apples and oranges. i think the idea that this is big trouble for trump is really quite unproven at this point. >> harris: judy? >> i think he lied to the grand jury about, and a lot of americans gave him a pass for that. let's remember that after the impeachment, his popularity was 70%, and he left his office with the popularity and an approval rating of 65%, which is the highest rating of any president since harry s. truman. >> harris: so let me ask you this -- are democrats at risk of making this too in the weeds? the process is not as clear-cut is lying to a grand jury. this is a phone call a lot of people were on, and their t

to discuss, i am joined by olivia carville.ith you, what are we looking at during the tech ipo summit going on today? >> there's a lot going on with the direct listing model in particular. we have had two very big ones, spotify last year and then slack this year. slack went smoothly and airbnb is reporting one as well. this is a model becoming much more commonplace so who do we have at the event today? not only venture capitalists but hundreds of privately held companies and executives invited to consider this model. lawyers as well as market makers , president of the new york stock exchange, a lot of people able to make this happen. taylor: what is the issue at stake because i cannot wrap my head around it? overvaluation, the fact a lot of the ipos have gotten well? what are they still concerned about? sonali: the venture capital community for a very long time have not liked the fact there is an ipo pot, which means there is money left in the table. this is not the same for everybody. if you are a major investor and invited to
