but colin powell is exactly right.at you're seeing right now is gop lawmakers taking into account strictly a political calculus. there is a fear if they speak out which they are fearful to do because of how many new discoveries are being made on a consistent basis and how thin the white house talking points are, that they're reluctant to parrot, the president will then make them the subject of the twitter tirade, the 60 plus tweets, one of the 60 plus tweets we saw this weekend targeting those people that get picked up by conservative media and, you know, the right wing fringe and, you know, targeted towards trump's base. so we have yet to see a senator willing to potentially risk his political career in favor of the truth or doing what might be morally right here. >> susan, help us out legally here. what democrats are trying to do in the impeachment inquiry is lay out a legal argument by how this conversation with with the ukrainians, not just one conversation but the delay in military aid et cetera amounted to an abu

we need the colin powells. we need the senior statespeople. >> john, you're making the point that i made to you. maybe it's incumbent on the politicians, the people who are actually leaders, to tell the people exactly what's going on instead of having the president and his apologists shape a message that is not true because anybody with half a brain who read that transcript knows exactly what the president was saying. there is -- it is obvious. it's not nebulous. it's not, well, maybe he meant that. you know exactly what he meant. all you have to do is read it. >> wait, wait, wait. you can't say stuff like that. >> yes, you can. >> you just can't say that. there are people that read that transcript and have a disagreement with what it means. >> did you read the transcript? >> of course i read the transcript. >> were you confused by what it meant? >> i will tell you this. look, in reading that transcript, i did not see a clear quid pro quo. we talked about this the day it came out. and what i'm saying to you is

madeleine albright and colin powell. on the president's phone call with his ukrainian counterpart.

. >> colin powell and what's going on with the republicans. listen to him. >> the republican party has got to get a grip on itself right now. republican leaders and members of the congress, both senate and the house, are holding back because they're terrified of what will happen, to any one of them, if they speak out. will they lose a primary? i don't know why that's such a disaster. but they need to get a grip. and when they say thiee things are not right they need to say something about t our foreign policy is in shambles, in my humble judgment. i see things happening that are hard to understand. >> matt, get a grip? >> yeah. colin powell isn't some nobody, he is a very respected voice. that's why you played it. what i'm interested to see is when the senate comes back and the press is in the hallway with them, as more kind of facts come out, whether or not they're forced to explain more, whether they can go as far as portman or whether they have to go further. >> matt, carol, eugene and adrian, kristen welker, thank you very much. >>> critic

. >> the gop ccles the wagons around the president, but former secretary of state colin powell says it's time for republicans to step up. >> they need to get a grip, and when they see things that are not right,hey need to say something about it. >> just ahead, the key witnesses set to testify this week. we're live at the white house. >>> breaking overnight, captured, a man accused of opening fire inside a crowded kansas bar killing at least four people taken into custody. a desperate manhunt now underway for a second suspect armed, dangerous and still on the loose. >>> gunned down, a key witness whose testimony was crucial at police officer amber guyger shot and killed just days after the verdict. his lawyer now asking is there a connection. >>> those stories, plus the former harvey weinstein assistant speaking out after two decades of silence. >>> simone-sational, the world's greatest gymnast does it again, and what made that move at the world championship even more meaningful. >>> and tale of survival, the incredible rescue of a dog trapped in hurricane rubble for nearly three weeks an

i would furthermore say that i believe that colin powell was right. his doctrine was if you break it, you buy it. when you send large numbers of troops into any part of the world, things are going to happen. unintentionally, but that's the tragedy of the war process. i think that we need to be much more strategic, much more directive in the way that we commit troops, and that's why i go back to my earlier comments on the authorization of force. what we cannot continue to do is have republicans or democratic presidents unilaterally sending forces and a harm's way and congress takes a vote after the fact. i guess we got to stay there. we sort of lead in with a toe, and then we can't seem to get ourselves out. i think that we need to decide what important to us. back to then't come pentagon, they come back to congressional districts across this country. people need to actually take a vote and say yes, we should be involved or no, we shouldn't. that's where i stand on that front which is more the teddy roosevelt model which is speak softly but carry a big

bush's chief of staff saying let's have an inquiry and colin powell saying republicans need to get ap! you can't let this slide. >> can i play this? somebody else thinks republicans need to get a grip or a spine. here's maxine waters on republican senators and what she thinks about them. >> i am disgusted with those spineless members of the senate who don't have the guts to stand up for this country. many of them have defined themselves as patriotic. they are spineless. they are not willing to step up. >> this is becoming a drum beat from the left against the right. >> here's my quacky idea. this is why you don't put people from the administration on the sunday talk shows. these voices are how didder. -- louder. they sound from out in space. it's off the charts crazy-town. quoting the queen of hearts from alice in wonderland. no, sentence first and verdict afterward. the idea of having the sentence first. that's where we are with these democrats. impeachment and the removal of a president by decree with the two hearings so far that the democrats had were a secured facility. this is w

. >> former secretary of state colin powell is calling on the republican party to get a grip after manyre defending the president while he is being investigated for impeachment. >> the republican party has got to get a grip on itself. republican leaders and members of the congress both senate and the house are holding back because they're terrified of what will happen, any one of them if they speak up. will they lose the primary? i don't know why that's such a disaster, but will they lose the primary. and so they need to get a grip, and when they see things that are not right, they need to say something about it because our foreign policy is in shambles in my humble judgment, and i see things happening that are hard to understand. >> so speaking at a lek turn last week, the retired four star general could himself a moderate republican. he served under both bush administrations. in recent years he has leaned towards democratic candidates and has openly opposed donald trump. >> joining us once again from washington, d.c. political reporter for the washington examiner emily larsen. great t

some in 1998 there were some. 2006 after they exploded their first bomb, condoleezza rice and colin powell gave it a try. i have to say i was part of those in the past, particularly the first two but also the six party talks. the obama administration did try basically. i think president obama i don't want to put words in his mouth but he didn't think that it would go anywhere. what he did, which i was grateful for is he backed me up. if you don't have talks we have the deterrence and defense. so we did at the deterrence andd defense and this means having forces that are so obviously capable of destroying the armed forces and north korean regime that they can't possibly imagine that they won't lose a war if one starts. and the defense is our missile defense and there was controversy. the undersecretary was doing missile defense and people would say you're going to anger the russians or they don't work. why are you doing this. my standard answer and the government's standard answer at the time is they will get there someday and i don't want to be defenseless when that happens. so, we did bui

in terms of people coming out who are heavyweights, it was important that colin powell came out and toldget a grip, his party. they need to get a grip on all of this. and then the peter baker story in "the new york times" today where he went back and interviewed ten past chiefs of staff for presidents stretching back to reagan. every single one said they would never have ever done anything like this. they rejected these kind of calls when they occasionally came up. >> carl, now that the second whistle-blower has apparently come forward, ihas some direct knowledge that some of the things the first whistle-blower only had secondhand knowledge of, do you see that changing anything? >> i think it's going to be both dramatic, and he is going to have apparently firsthand knowledge of what transpired here. i think that what all of this becomes more and more is considerable evidence building that we have a fundamentally corrupt president who is a danger to the national security, has undermined our democratic system, and is also increasingly unstable. and i know that many republicans are looking

administration where institutions are being destroyed, our foreign policy is in a shambles as colin powelly across the country, people are saying are democratic institutions being undermined. so i understand why people who are working in the administration are so troubled by it, but i would suggest that rather than submitting an anonymous book that they should follow suit as patriots like bill taylor and marie ivanovich and have identified themselves and not as the whistle-blower who deserves legal protection, but you know, this anonymity that this author is claiming is just feeding further into the fear. >> right. it also can feed trump's narrative, as well, right? he won't stand up and say it's weak. that's a good point that this person would just put their name out there thank you all so very much. >> next, a cnn poll showing growing support for impeachment and does this move the needle for trump supporters. michelle obama, michael bloomberg and some of the names that the democrats are throwing out 2020 contenders and one of them, give it up. why is there anxiety within the party tonigh

i want to play you what we heard from colin powell about the republican party. listen. >> the republican party has got to get a grip on itself now. republican leaders and members of the congress, senate and house are holding back because they are terrified of what will happen to any one of them if they speak up. will they lose a primary? >> if you were in congress right now, how would you like to think you'd be responding? >> listen, i would be for due process and what happens happens. so as we would work through trying to do the fact-finding on this and again, i've been pretty vocal about all of these things when he came out and said the things he did about russia, i condemned it. when he talked about china, you know, a country that has a strong adversary intelligence relationship towards the united states and asked them to do an investigation. what we do have to do is try to take a step back and get people to cool off a little bit because of the severity of what we're talking about. you know, what happens now is we get into this triable warfare in washington d

and secretary pompeo has not been that contributing in our foreign policy around the world as colin powelld yesterday in a news show. it's a disaster. >> general mark hertling, thank you for coming on this morning and helping us understand this. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> how are the president's attacks weighing on the former vice president's 2020 race? we have new reporting from campaign advisers about their strategy moving forward. be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening hea

colin powell says my party is in shambles right now. has got to get a grip, to use his words. where are we? >> we're watching republicans squirm because they know so far the white house has not given them something they can defend very easily. and what -- what we're seeing a pattern, the white house erects a defense, then along comes the evidence and knocks down the defense. first we started with quid pro quo, the opposition -- white house claimed there was no pretty pro-question on, it was straightforward -- quid pro-question, it was straightforward. the next argument from the white house, well, all the information we have is from secondhand sources. here comes a second whistle-blow whistle-blower, no, no, i was there. they knocked down that defense. instead of looking for the answers and looking for a defense that's true, they're looking for any defense that works. if the public will buy it, that's what they're looking for. >> you know, i'm glad you laid it out, david. you have seen each of these straw men as it were knocked down by the facts. yet the pushback continues. a.b

former secretary of state colin powell is calling on the republican party to get a grip, after many are he is being investigated for impeachment. >> the republican party has got to get a grip on itself right now. the republican leaders and members of the congress, both senate and the house, are holding back. because they're terrified of what will happen to any one of them if they speak out. will they lose a primary? i don't know why that is such a disaster. but will they lose a primary? and so they need to get a grip. and when they see things that are not right they need to say something about it. because our foreign policy is shambles right now, in my humble judgment, and i see things are happening that are hard to understand. >> speaking at a lecture last week, he called himself a, quote, moderate republican. he served under bush administrations as well as national security advisers to ronald reagan. in recent years he has leaned towards democratic candidates and has openly opposed donald trump. and the union official for the united auto workers has said talks with general motors have

but it's what general colin powell said as secretary of state. it's the pottery barn rule.wn it. we broke it. we've been trying to fix it. we had a very good campaign to get rid of isis and we -- we had the region stabilized. there was no reason for the pullback and that's obvious strategically. maybe there was some private reason we don't know about. but there was no planning for it. and there's chaos in the region right now and worse, it affects us all over the world. all over the world, allies are looking at -- at -- at that woman and they're thinking, well, in my country, what about ukraine? what about korea? what about taiwan? everywhere america has touched since the second world war, we've established a reputation for credibility. we underscore it with economics but mostly it's our soldiers who serve and they sacrifice and they serve and they've bled and they've fought and they've died for that credibility. it looks to me like it's been sort of thrown away here. >> and the president who was pressed on this today by reporters said it's not our border. and he said the k

interestingly enough the former secretary of state colin powell took on republicans for defending president trump. >> the republican party has got to get a grip on itself. right now republican leaders and members of the congress, both senate and the house, are holding back because they're terrified of what will happen to any one of them if they speak up. will they lose a primary? i don't know why that's such a disaster, but will they lose the primary? and so they need to get a grip. and when they see things that are not right they need to say something about it because our foreign policy is in shambles right now in my humble judgment and i see things happening that are hard to understand. >> joshua, first of all, does who col inpowell say matter to the republican party of today, of the party that has been defined in president trump's image? and more importantly are we likely to see those types of comments lead to any cracks in the republican wall, so to speak? >> i hope so. look, the reason you don't see folks actually defending on the merits what trump did on the phone call and then did on
