joipg me now is the number three democrat in the house, south carolina congressman jim clyburn. want to start by reading you something that the speaker said back in march. she said impeachment is so divisive to the country, that tlls nz something to compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, i don't think we should go down that path because it divides the country and it's just not worth it. this week as you're well aware, the house voted to approve the procedures on impeachment with zero republican support. so my question is, would you move forward with a vote on articles of impeachment if that remains true, that you have no republican support? >> well, thank you so much for having me, dana, but we would, absolutely. i think that when we talk about bipartisan support, we're not limiting that to the congress. i've been watching the polls all over the country. there is rising support within republican voters in favor of moving forward. independent en independents, a majority of them seem to be in favor of moving forward. and certainly the democrats. so i think what the speaker wa

i commend my leader, clyburn in washington, d.c.house democratic leadership, bringing them together and caucus members together, to provide transparency to this process. >> john, how significant is it that 18% of republicans say they support the impeachment and removal? >> well, i think it is interesting that 82% of democrats say they support impeachment, but 82% of republicans say they oppose it. 18% of democrats say they support impeachment but 82% of republicans say they oppose it. and 18% is not a large number. it is a slight increase in suppr impeachment or an impeachment inquiry from republican voters in multiple polls. and i think as the impeachment inquiry becomes more public, we could see support for impeachment increase. the house vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry on thursday was a signal we're going to see it become more public and the democrats are going to lay out their case for impeachment. and if they're able to convince enough americans, then yeah sure, we might see support for impeachment increase among gop

i will caution the campaign, in the words of my leader, whip clyburn, when you win, to brag gently andep softly, they're having some, they're experiencing some wins at this point. but they have to be very humble about it as we've seen with elizabeth warren, and we've seen other campaigns, moments do not always translate into movements. >> antjuan, let us talk about warren. the other question is, the debate, did it have an impact here? >> i think that again, sometimes we take movements, we take moments and think they translate into the movement. one of the greatest lessons i learned early on in politics is that movements do not create -- i'm sorry, leaders do not create moments, moments create leaders. i think they saw a sugar high from some of these campaigns including warren that that was going to turn into some type of movement. but what voters have showed us consistently, they're looking for authenticity, genuineness, something they can trust and something pragmatic, i thing that's why you've seen joe biden be able to maintain his status, particularly with the political concrete in

clyburn's comments about tsa personnel. they still have a lot of part time folks working. if i were to extrapolate from my discussion some of your, work you do have a lot of turnover. if you have a part-time job, they are part time, until they get a full time job somewhere. that is the crux of the issue this is a budgetary challenge that we have? >> as part of the 2020 issue, we are decreasing the number of part-time individuals authorized. we have individuals that have retired from other jobs and don't actually want to work a full schedule. it worked very well for them, especially in those locations, depending on the type of workforce >> we see those part time jobs would prefer to be part time work full-time? >> those part timers i highlighted would prefer to be day-ing in part-time. there were others they would like to and would prefer. full-time >> i imagine is a lot of people that are not retire that would want some stability from a full-time job. my next question is, in terms of budget, we have that tax we face on tickets. that is supposed to go to airport security. >

meeting back here with commissioner clyburn who will look at ai and the workforce. thank you very much. [applause] good afternoon, everyone. as we settle in i often pick a word for the day. a kind of how i govern myself often times and my frame of mind. but today i'm going to take an image of the day if you look at your screen, one of our commissioners shared with me this image and i think it sets the tone and stage and underscores the importance of why we are here. this is a chinese book for kindergartners and even if you don't speak chinese, circled r. two letters, ai. kindergarten textbook. the senator talked about us getting ready from grade school to graduate school. now we are talking about kindergarten or even pre- k. if we are going to keep ahead and stay number one when it comes to ai so i just want to start with this image because again it really for me underscores the urgency of why this commission was formed and why it's so important as we are here today. we have a broa had a broad mandh concrete steps the government should take to build and maintain a m

clyburn's comments about tsa personnel. they still have a lot of folks working part-time, correct?if i were to extrapolate from my discussion some of your, work ers, you do have a lot of turnover. if they are part-time, they are there until they they are part time, that is the crux of the issue this is a budgetary challenge that we have? >> as part of the 2020 issue, we are decreasing the number of part-time individuals authorized. there are specific locations where it makes a lot of sense. individuals who retired from other jobs who don't want to work a full schedule. it worked very well for them, especially in those locations, depending on the ground a workforce -- >> with those part-timers preferred to be part-time? >> those part timers i highlighted would prefer to be day-ing in part-time. others who would prefer full-time. >> i imagine is a lot of people that are not retired that one some stability. my next question is in terms of budget, we have the tax that we pay on tickets. that is supposed to go to airport security. >> yes. airport security? >> all but the amount set asid

. >> i understand you sat down with congressman jim clyburn recently, talked to him about this race. you tell us anything more about that? he is occupying this role as someone that many candidates are seeking counsel from, what did he say to you about your involvement in that race? >> well, he's been a friend and an ally for many, many years. he's also very close to the vice president. and i understand that. so am i. he is i think being the appropriate statesman and keeping, you know, being fair and generous about his advice all around. we did talk about the vote in south carolina and some ideas that he had about how to organize and how folks in the past have been success envelope that. we have a new state director in south carolina, and we are touching base with some of the old friends from work i have done there in the past as a civil rights lawyer and adds head of the civil rights division in the clinton administration, and also talking with the former governor hodges who i know well and campaigned with when we were campaigning for president obama's first election. and then of cou

. >> mike, that's a pretty candid moment there from representative clyburn. buttigieg has articulated a way to bring in some of the black voters that he says he wants? because nobody really has in the race with the exception of joe biden. >> well, mayor pete is nothing but articulate. he's articulate about everything. i think his problem with the black community with black voters is simply a lack of familiarity. that's it. i don't attribute it to his sexual preference. i don't attribute it to, you know, his policies. i think his policies are probably, they are, not probably, they are very favorable in terms of equity, pay equity, educational equity. they are very favorable. it's just a lack of familiarity. >> and, beth, what's your take in terms of his ability to broaden his base? was it naive of him to say that this race has really boiled down to him and elizabeth warren so early on when clearly you are still seeing big momentum behind people like bernie sanders? >> yeah. >> it was very arrogant of him to make that claim 100 days out. look, i was in des moin

for medicare for all plan with a price tag of anywhere from 20 to $50 trillion and congressman jim clyburns asked about another presidential democratic candidate yesterday on the sunday shows, pete buttigieg moving ahead in the polls. here is what he had to say. [video clip] >> a local south carolina paper obtained a memo from inside the buttigieg campaign detailing a focus group with black voters, some of whom did not like he was living with his husband and the report concluded "being gay was a barrier for these voters." it is his struggle with black voters in your state of south carolina because he is gay? that is a generational issue. i know of a lot of people my age feel that way. i will say this, my own grandson, who is -- i think is 25 years old, that guy is a big buttigieg guy and he does it because he believes in the guy, not because he is gay. >> for older african-americans, it is an issue? >> i am sorry? >> are you saying for older african-americans, it is an issue. >> yes, it is. i am not going to sit here and tell you otherwise, but i think everybody knows that is an issue . i

i've spoken with members like congressman jim clyburn and ben ray luhon of new mexico to see how we caner on such an essential issue. where are they? they're trying to impeach the president. so those democratic members in the swing districts, they are going to be held to account by their voters. and i think if the republicans take back the house in 2020, they'll look back at yesterday, interviews like this, and moments like this week and they're going to say, that was a big reason why some of these members lost because they have to go back and say the voters will say what have you done for me lately? you work for me? you wasted my time and money. what have you done for me. they'll have to say, i impeached the president and they'll be impeached themselves. unelected. >> you've been very generous with your time. >> thank you. i'm a very jgenerous, kind persn and you have people at cnn who live on twitter. i choose to live offline. it's a much -- just a much better life to live offline than online. that's their choice but they love to do what you just did also and that's unfortunate becaus
