they have been left behind by the democratic party. for years they voted straight democratic ticket. they were not talked to. issues, but they were not talking about jobs and providing and making sure families could grow their income and businesses. trump started talking about that and talking to those voters. we are looking at bringing call pennsylvania, a lot of blue-collar voters. there are growing jobs there. michigan and wisconsin, these are hard-working workers that understand trump. we saw voters moved from the democratic side to the president's side in 2016. now we need to hang onto those votes. host: is it difficult for democrats to make an argument in those states when the economy is doing well and you have 50 year historic unemployment? yes and no. obviously we did a terrible job of it in 2016, or we would have won those states. i don't think we have quite found the right way to talk to these voters. we do a good job of talking down to voters. you are voting against your interests. banishedthat should be from the democratic

i know the democrats have tried i've always, but voted democratic. i am 66 years old. i will not vote for the democrat for president without a black agenda. i know you are trying to ignore us. you don't accept what we are saying. the only thing i have to say to democrats, good luck in the election without negroes. it is not about president trump. we are not out here saying we are going to vote for democrats just to get rid of trump. has our best trump interest in mind. i know they say talk about black unemployment, but i don't think he even really cares about black unemployment. it is just something to say. host: what about the argument that some republicans have made, and we have heard it from some callers, that democrats take the african-american vote for granted? guest: sure, we have. and we continue to do that. the base voter, black, bro, white, purple, gets a lot of attention in the primaries. in the general, it turns to the voter in the middle. we are seeing this now, that gets a little annoying if you are in that base voter group. this is clearly one of the piec

he is getting democratic voters on those messages. >> now we are in an alternate universe now democrats are for pro- trade. what's happening obviously the economy is shifting and changing over the last ten or 20on years and that will not really change progress not just this country but everywhere and uk with brexit and germany and france. so what you have is jobs that are no longer as big a part of the economy as they used to be. a lot of manufacturing and coal and they are shifting and moving away when jobs like that provided a great middle-class life in these areas. that scary for people and tough. no question. now talking to those people to connect with them to say we understand what you are going through to not speaking necessarily what the answer is but spoke to that very directly and that's what democrats did not do well they did not say this is how you are fitting into the new world or to get a better education because now you are ten years away from retirement that this will not happen. so we did a very bad job of making that connection again i'm not agreeing with his method met

democrats were happy to see that.are looking at that as a sign that they are getting a strong candidate. it's looking pretty tough. republicans will tell you that senator collins has a really strong brand in maine. she's been around for a long time. she has personal connections with a lot of voters. it will be a tough race, for sure. it's one of those very closely contested races. right now, some republicans of knowledge there are some other senators looking a little more vulnerable than her including gardner and tom tillis. just because collins has such a strong brand in her state. >> what about martha mcsally? remind our viewers about how she made her way to the senate. >> she actually lost her senate race in 2018 to kyrsten sinema in arizona. that was one of the democratic pickups we saw in the senate. she was appointed to fill out the rest of john mccain's term. she is now running in 2020 for a full term. she is facing a really tough opponent who has been raising a lot of money. she is running against mark kelly,

>> guest: it's a tough state for any democrat. he's running you might remember from the viral video where she talks about being a pilot and she raised over $10 million in the last quarter. more than senator mcconnell. so that was pretty remarkable for a senate candidate but also remember senator mcconnell has energized democrats and if maybe he wouldn't be difficult to raise as much money running against him but it's still certainly headed in a very big number. but given the partisan dynamic. the one democrat republicans are going to have a shot at, by the republican challenger in the most recent quarter who ran unsuccessfully and republicans see him as a strong senator. he is run as a congressman and consistently raising a good amount of money so i think it's also a place where the president. he will be a major factor since trump narrowly won but democrats see the popularity dwindling their. so we think that will also help. >> host: let's go to michael in wisconsin. republican call. >> caller: yes, you said something about runnin

years ago, i was always a democrat.n the last maybe year and a half to two years, i said to myself, no way, they are so far left. why not give the president a chance? host: as far as the process democrats have laid out, what do you think specifically about that? caller: they are pushing for impeachment, which is a disgrace. countries all over the world must be laughing at us. give our president a chance, president trump is doing a great job, give him a chance. host: that is brenda in new jersey. usa today has a new poll from the publication and suffolk university saying americans are split about whether the president should be convicted and removed from office. 47% against. despite damaging new testimony, 30 to 40% of those surveyed remain solidly on the president's side. the house of representative's prepares to vote thursday. there is usually more on these surveys publish, you can check it out for yourself at usa today. massachusetts, independent line. caller: i think the investigation has been followed up by being di

democrats from the most conservative districts, but when democrats from the most conservative districts, but when you have a very reticent chairwoman of the dccc not wanting to pursue impeachment hearings and taking the case to her rival, tom emmer, on the republican side, it shows you how it can change so quickly. we aired in the live and you can see it on our website, c-span.org. let's go to west point, georgia, independent line. caller: hi, i'm just calling because as a veteran of the united is i have never thought -- united states, i have never thought the constitution would be so trampled on by the president whoa has been a draft dodger about things. the whistleblower -- we need that. if we didn't have whistleblowers, it would be much more troubling in the federal government. the president tweeting about the whistleblower this morning. he just tweeted this "whistleblower had the facts wrong about the phone call. schiff never told us about this." he could be a vulnerable senator except that he is retiring, lamar alexander. what role could he play in a potential senate trial that cou

risk that the democratic party is it's too good democratic party that could hurt them in november oh sure the risk that the democratic party is it's too big it's so big it's not stable it has or has a centrist wing went by hillary clinton gets it so big it's a stable it has or has a centrist wing web by hillary clinton essentially and it has a left wing a quasi socialist clinton essentially and it has a left wing a quasi socialist wing by bernie sanders and there's an immense gulf between those 2 camps wing by bernie sanders and there's an immense gulf between those 2 camps and the party really can't accommodate both those wings. and the party really can't accommodate both those wings so if there's a house divided against itself jabbered is essentially the only one out there and speaking out forcefully. against the hillary clinton aggressive so it is a house divided against itself jabbered is essentially only one out there and speaking out forcefully against the hillary clinton aggressive foreign policy of regime change and wars of aggression now foreign policy of regime change and w

it will offer a test for our democratic colleagues. will their party's impeachment obsession crowd out even the most basic governing responsibilities? unfortunately, it seems we already have our answer. the democratic leader said at a press conference yesterday that his party intends to filibuster funding for our armed forces. democrats have plenty of time and energy for their three-year-old journey to impeach the president, but they can't get to yes on funding our service members. that's about as clear a statement of priorities as you can get around here. just a few days ago u.s. special forces executed a daring mission and took out the founder of isis. it was the clearest possible reminder that the national security of the united states and the missions of our service members do not pause for partisan politics. but less than a week later, for political purposes senate democrats said they refused to secure funding for those very same missions. washington democrats have talked up a storm in recent days criticizing the administration's

none of the democrats that i can see on that stage can. the democrats hate to trump. but have a whole lot of nothing to replace him. and i think smart people in the party know it. look at the new study out today, their calculations show at 2020 map that looks like this. when you step back and you look at that field last night, on that democrat debate stage, you can see why so many democrats think impeachment, even if it takes secret hearings, is there only answer. and that's "the angle." get a reaction, mercedes, senior advisor to the trump 2020 campaign along with doug schoen, fox news contributor and former advisor for president clinton. doug, can any democrat claim victory at last night's debate? were you surprised by the democrat party? >> first i thought the clear winner as you suggest it was donald trump. because what we heard was division, discord, and raising taxes. democrats don't have a message. i think if anyone won, it's still elizabeth warren because she has been the front runner and she has emerged as that. but when the 12 or 14 candidates are all going

democratic leaders have claimed to have evidence before. let's see if they can actually produce their evidence this time. let's get on with working for the american people. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been trying to impeach president trump since he took office and we all know this. they've made it very clear, they deem the president's every action to be impeachable and since the beginning of this joke inquiry, they have shown no interest in fair or fact-based proceedings. impeachment is a monumental -- emol mental step that must be done with transparency. mr. williams: democrats have held meetings in secret, convenient one-sided information can be leaked to the public, denying american citizens the right to have their elected members of congress present. the dedication to u

only 39% of democrats. overall, a poll showed on the one hand, the lack of confidence in the system. on the other, stepping back a bit, a widespread belief the system is broken and rate. -- and rigged. it raises the alarm. something that all of us should be focused on. host: you see the partisan divide particularly on this issue of security. any sense from the polling of what is causing that? guest: there is a number of factors. part of it is sour grapes. the party out of power are more critical. in 2016, it was the republicans. i would say two things. the acute -- the acute problem of foreign intervention and the threat that foreign powers posed to the election system. 53% of americans believe that. 41% of republicans. 77% of democrats. the foreign threat to our elections and democracy specifically is the root cause. what we find in relationship to that, only 31% of americans are confident that the government today has done enough to counter the foreign threat, the foreign minister. once again, even though

colin peterson, a veteran democrat from minnesota and also a freshman democrat from new jersey jeff vanw. he flipped a district from red to blue and skeptical of the process all along. i asked peterson how he would vote. he said i'll figure it out. peterson's district went to trump by 31 points. some democrats are kind of skittish calling it an impeachment resolution. a big back and forth earlier in the week with steny hoyer what to call it. people here on capitol hill were calling it an impeachment resolution and democrats have been defensive about that. the reason is because moderate democrats don't want this to be tied or interpreted as a vote for or against impeachment itself. remember house speaker nancy pelosi just a couple of weeks ago said she didn't need to have a vote like this. now here we are. why some of the moderates got revved up. we aren't expecting any republicans to vote yes on this. they've been criticized by conservatives by not standing strongly behind the president. a solid unified vote today would give them for street credibility. liberals like alexandria ocasio-c

democratic.s un you don't have to like the winner of the election, but you have no right to overturn it. we need to move on to 2020, do your best, take him out if you don't like him or he will win, whatever. we need to know the history and background of all candidates and biden exposed himself. host: democrats line, good morning. caller: yes. i am calling -- it is amazing. i thank you for your patience with some of your callers. treatytom line is the agreement signed for investigation on international crime. the lady that just called from alabama was absolutely ridiculous. joe biden was talking about removing the corrupt prosecutor. c-span can report it, i am sure you have access to it. this misinformation campaign. this is ridiculous. thank you for your time. host: to the independent line next, ron from california. caller: good morning. anchor for taking my call. i agree with the last caller from alabama. right now, i am questioning why the republicans are playing a quiet role. forward a few ste

democrats right now, 215. democrats in favor of -- and one independent impeaching at least of beginning the process of an informal impeachment inquiry. there's 218. it has just passed this resolution will now become the law. it has passed, 219 now including one independent, 218 democrats. still 1:30 left to go. they usually give a little extra time. but the numbers are there for the democrats. manu, two democrats who voted with the republicans on the procedural resolution, looks like, what, those same two democrats are voting with the republican owes this substantive resolution? >> yeah, that's what we're hearing. collin peterson of minnesota as well as jeff van drew from new jersey, both voting against this democratic measure to set the procedures for the impeachment inquiry. this is not a surprise. these two men have been opposed to the efforts to move forward on an impeachment inquiry. they have made clear they believe it's a distraction, they believe it's a bad idea, they believe the agenda should be focus

democrats expected to press him on text messages he sent to the e.u. ambassador, and raised concerns about a possible quid pro quo over military aid with the ukraine. a short time ago, one democratic lawmaker walking out of taylor's deposition behind closed doors with a closed-door testimony was a game changer. >> all i have to say is that in my ten short months in congress, it is not even noon, and this is my most disturbing day in congress so far. very troubling. >> harris: characterizing behind closed doors. however, president trump says democrats, witnesses are actually helping his case. >> i don't know most of these people. and if i do, i met them quickly. or he know them very little, but ambassadors and some others. i don't even know. most of them i have never even heard of their names. okay? and they are turning out to be better witnesses by far for us. >> harris: catherine herridge is life for us on capitol hill. >> thank you, harris, good afternoon. taylor over the suspension to aid the ukraine, whether it was tied to investigations into the b

now democrat socialist is a bad word?at he's admitting is the democratic party is not going to elect a socialist. they seem popular inside their base. but he can't win the primary because even the democrats who have moved to the left are not ready to elect a socialist. so all of a sudden he wants to drop the term. >> you have to hear it to believe what joe biden said. >> less than any other four-year bachelor's degree other than being a social work. i wish i raised at least one republican to make some money. >> he ignores the fact that politicians make a lot of money, including his former boss who made a lot of money in a political career. it's an insult to americans because he's saying only republicans are entrepreneurs. and entrepreneurship is what makes this country go. what would we do if everybody was hunter biden? liz: elizabeth warren says she is as capitalist, but look at what we found from the center for responsible budget. big tax hikes to pay for the $34 trillion overhaul of the government healthcare system. sh

democrats?n appetite fow another impeachment pushed by them? among >> i think we are the appetite, period. democrats? i'm driving all across the >> i country and i've compared trump, rallies to all the supporters of period. i'm driving all across the country and i've compared t the other candidates and it doesn't even come even close to that. rallies.cl so i think the reason why they . are asking for michelle obama or so i think the reason someone like bloomberg is why ty are because they don't have a lot or someone like support right now and biden is e starting to look like a failure right now with the hunter bidenf support right now and biden is starting to look like a failure stuff. you you know, he admitted today that he doesn't believe he would've gotten a job if he didn't have the last name biden and i thinke gotten a job if he the average day person is tirede the of the corruption, the peoplenak the average that are well connected, and i think that's going to affect thd of the corruption,

and democrats.cy pelosi feels like she needs to tell people to pray and get serious. >> first of all, i think she is the person in all of this -- and chairman schiff of other relevant chairman -- that people should look to for both the substance and for the town of this debate. look, i've been with her. i was with her at a press conference, by the way, on prescription drugs. which she is very serious about bringing down the price of, last week. she is very somber. she is legitimately sad that we are doing this. heck, i'm sad. my life most of the time is working on health care policy. i would rather be talking about that that impeachment. but the president has brought us here. let me say one other thing -- let's get rid of the fake piety on rhetoric. this president has suggested that adam schiff should be thrown in jail. he just called him a low life he said the whistle-blower should get the death penalty for treason, and he spent four years leading a chant of "lock her up." let's set aside the fake

it's the democratic campaign committee. it's the political arm of house democrats. we have two jobs and two jobs only. i happen to be in the majority party. our job is to hang on to the majority. and job number two is to grow that majority because it is -- if you're a democrat, which i have been pretty much my whole life, you believe in what we stand for, what we fight for. and -- and so that is why it's not just for political purposes that we grow the majority and hang on to the majority, but because i think it is the right thing for our nation. and so the job is those two things. and as you said that we -- we work with millions of dollars. it is -- you know, you race money to make sure that you can get your messaging out to -- to people here. and i hope we have a chance to talk about texas, because texas is ground zero in 2020. and i'm very, very excited to talk with you about that. [applause] yes, thank you. it's a very, very exciting state to be in from a democratic perspective. >> chairman emmert, can you give us a little bit of your view of the job. >> i'm a f

people going from democratic to republican and republican to democratic. than did so in the 2016 election when compared to the elections immediately prior. we have had revolutions before. >> host: what we are seeing or not seeing in this republican primary. go back to 1980 when senator ted kennedy put up a formidable challenge against jimmy carter or 1992 when pat buchanan became a formidable opponent at least early on to george hw bush, miniature beating the loss in november 1992. we are seeing a number of candidates challenging donald trump but none of them seem to be making any mark in terms of polling or traction. >> guest: that is right. we are seeing adhesion to the party leaders and we will see adhesion among democratic voters on the democratic side to opposing donald trump. this is a period are a polarized partisan parity. the two parities are equal size in the elections. now parity is more than 53% of the vote in a presidential election since 1984, 30 some years ago. we have what are clearly liberal and clearly conservative party. the political sc

the 13-term democrat was 68. house majority leader steny hoyer made the announcement to members on the house floor this morning as members were beginning their daily speeches. gentleman from maryland, mr. minutes.r five mr. hoyer: thank you, mr. speaker. i have the sad task of announcing what probably most of know.ready great american. a decent american. a wonderful member of this body. elijah cummings, who died early of illnesses he suffering from for a time.icant period of members of the house, the people people of the e united states of america woke up and shocking news that we had lost this dear a devoted public patriot whoedicated reflected courtesy and respect for all. confrontation and and, yes,nt and anger beacon s hate, he was a of ivility, of fairness, justice. he was chairman of the oversight reform committee. too early.way at 68 years of age. of us who served with him justice, passion for his sharp intellect, having kappa from i beta howard university, where he was president of the student government

people going from democrat to republican or republican to democrat.hey did so in the 2016 election when you compare it to the elections immediately prior. we have seen these revolutions before. host: could you explain what we are seeing or not seeing in this republican primary. in 1980 when senator ted kennedy put up a formidable challenge against then president jimmy carter over 9092 when pappy cannon became a formidable opponent early on to george h w bush, many attributing that to his loss in november 1992, we are seeing them -- a number of candidates challenging president trump, but none of them seem to be making marks in terms of polling or traction. guest: that's right. we are seeing adhesion to the party leaders and i think you will see adhesion among democratic voters on the democratic side to opposing donald trump. that i callriod polarized partisan parity. than 53%has won more of the vote in a presidential election since 1984. ago.is 30 something years now clearly are liberal and clearly conservative parties. the political scientists of the

i know the democrats have tried i've always, but voted democratic. i am 66 years old.ill not vote for the democrat for president without a black agenda. i know you are trying to ignore us. you don't accept what we are saying. the only thing i have to say to democrats, good luck in the election without negroes. it is not about president trump. we are not out here saying we are going to vote for democrats just to get rid of trump. has our best trump interest in mind. i know they say talk about black unemployment, but i don't think he even really cares about black unemployment. it is just something to say. host: what about the argument that some republicans have made, and we have heard it from some callers, that democrats take the african-american vote for granted? guest: sure, we have. and we continue to do that. the base voter, black, brown, white, purple, gets a lot of attention in the primaries. in the general, it turns to the voter in the middle. we are seeing this now, that gets a little annoying if you are in that base voter group. this is clearly one of the pieces

we expected democrats not to be in support of that but a majority of democrats are in spot that have as well. >> a couple other questions based on what you said previously. you asked the question are democrats committed to fair and accurate elections? tell us the numbers, tell us what's behind them. >> 61% of americans believe democrats are committed to fair and accurate elections. dine ed, if we have an integral electoral system it should be a super majority support, large support behind that. it really is in line with what independents say, that is the moderate middle. again, you know, if you look at especially in-state initiatives to restrict a vote that tend to be a republican plank or initiative or poll sill orientation and not democratic, these reflect the data on the ground. you did the same of republicans to be committed to fair and accurate elections. >> there's a 20% difference between republicans and democrats and, again, this just reflects the reality on the ground. republicans have had initiatives in the states, especially to restrict the vote via a have a right of diffe

worked in democratic and republican administrations. the trump administration brought him back in, trusted by the white house and yet he is the person that started to raise serious alarms about what the president was asking and what rudy giuliani was doing. >> yeah, he was yanked out of retirement for this job and now he is in the spotlight. i talked to a source familiar with his testimony today who said he's not looking to make a splash. there's a reason we haven't seen the full text of his opening remarks released today by sources close to him. he really want to go there and lay out the chronology of events. he got there on the ground as u.s. ambassador to ukraine in june, and he's still been there. he's still the u.s. ambassador to ukraine. he's going back tomorrow. so he wanted to lay out this timeline and then go back to his job. but the reality is that he's the person who has been there from the beginning, from when this assistance was delayed and reviewed until the time they eventually decided to let it go. so even though he does

last thing i will say the democrats get what they win, republicans deserve what they get. i knew trump was going to get before he was elected. i've been to south dakota, so i already knew the landscape of what was going to happen and, so now the republicans they have to live, let the democrats take the avuse, so they get to live with that also. >> okay, sammy, i will move on the josh, republican. >> hi, yeah, my point is that everyone is getting mad at donald trump because he had his lawyer rudy giuliani go over to ukraine and was trying to dig up some dirt on biden and i will give you that but that's what was going on, but my point is that hillary clinton paid her lawyer fusion gps to get dirt on trump from a foreign person, christopher steele, so he's a foreigner. >> josh, let me tie this back to poll in our conversation,d are you concerned about foreign interference in the elections or does it not bother you? >> it's going to happen and you are a fool if you think it's not going to happen, so the key is being fair about both sides doing it, i think is the question here,

i won a district that democrats through to elect democrats four terms ago. we have been able to do that by being a bipartisan member. i'm the 50th most bipartisan member of the house of representatives out of 435. i do my job and try and judge the issues and judge the votes i'm going to take based upon the information i have in front of me. and clearly the transcript that i have seen in this impeachment process i don't believe led to any criminal wrongdoing or criminal charges. that's what i'm going to do, due process matters, even when you disagree with the president, he and every american deserves due process. we should never have a political litmus test on due process. i think that's exactly the precedent that the democrats are setting right now. >> one of the organizations that helps administer election that you'll have as the elections system commission, again, this is another area where the house committee has a lot of say, they lost their executive director, a controversial figure, but republicans on the committee wanted to retain him and testified ab

d democratic-controlled house.ising showing republican pundits are being outraised by their democratic challengers and not promising for president trump, a number of national polls show him trailing a series of the 2020 democratic contenders in the general election. rick tyler, msnbc political analyst and emily tisch susman, former vice president of campaigns for the center for american progress, also host of your primary playlist. rick, one republican insider quoted in this ox yoes piece says we're all worried. how worried should the gop be, sflik. >> they should be extremely worried. if this is a referendum of donald trump -- remember, the head of the ticket usually drives turnout. unfortunately it appears trump is driving turnout of the democrats and not the republicans. if he just simply turns out his base, the republicans would be wiped out. there's a big but, craig, and that's who the democrats nominate. if you look at a normal election year, with a good economy, low unemployment, and let's say we had a popul

democrats once stood for tax cuts and sensible policies that helped small businesses, but democratic to blue collar workers middle america is essentially dead, right now they campaign on wealth confiscation and redistribution, but the economy is so great, the democrats cannot run on fixing the economy. i think that is why they have shifted toward politics of envy and promises of free stuff, a painful attempt to pander to low information voters, but i think that trump is getting a lot of great material from the democrats for the general election. i don't see how any tax paying american could support the policies. elizabeth: even bernie said he will tax lower income people. i want to turn to, your take, democrats -- have been about pro growth in past, now they are senator warren dodging questions about how she will pay for a big government takeover of 1/7 of the u.s. economy, that being healthcare. >> will you raise taxes on middle class to pay for it, yes or no. >> so. i have made clear what my principles are. this is costs will go up for wealthy. >> senator sanders acknowledges he wi

democratic voters were asked is ha too old? how many said so? 4% said elizabeth warren at 71 would be too old. how about the next democratic candidate? considerably older. he'd be 78 on inauguration day. remember, the oldest president in history so far, ronald reagan was a couple of weeks shy of 78 when he left office. biden would come in at 78. how many democrats say that is too old? look at that number jumps to 28%. more than 1 out of 4. and then of course bernie sanders is older still. 79 years old on inauguration day. and coming off this heart attack, this poll was conducted after that. how many say that bernie sanders is too old? that number climbs all the way to 43%. again, this is democrats in the early stage. now, here's the interesting thing. if you look at biden and you look at sanders where those numbers are high among democrats and take it a step further and you ask democrats what specifically is it about their age to gives you pause about them? this is somewhat interesting. when it comes to biden the democrats who say they do think

democrats had a splitting democrats for years. what are you talking about?uns in the 80s, plan b, lowering our votes, making us abort our children. >> plan b is known as the morning-after pill. kanye west who is a born-again christian went on to say he is only afraid of god and when asked if his support of trump could be considered an endorsement of racism west was having none of it. >> you mean to tell me i make every decision based on my color, the most racist thing a person could tell me is that i'm supposed to choose something based on my race. >> it is notable during the 2016 election, 88% of black americans voted democratic, 8% voted republican and kanye west says he loves former president obama and among other things and isn't asking anyone to vote democrat but he says -- to not vote democrat, rather but he says people should not tell him what to do. >> last year tried to tell me who i was supposed to vote for because i'm black and this year white liberals trying to tell you i'm supposed to vote for because i'm christian. that -- my car has to be a co

democrats need polls to catch up. a new cbs poll finds 55% of americans back the impeachment increase was a to be at poll shows 47% back the real deal and find 56% of voters believe lawmakers supporting it are doing so based on partisan politics, not facts. congress is on recess, lawmakers are conducting townhall's. what they hear from constituents could dictate where impeachment goes after the break. >> ukraine's top prosecutor says he will take another look at corruption investigations including one with ties to joe biden's and hunter. the fallout from donald trump's invitation to china to look into the bidens, we will look into that next. while an optimal melatonin level means no next-day grogginess. zzzquil pure zzzs. naturally superior sleep. at outback, steak & oh no, it's gone.ck. phew, it's back with lobster mac & cheese. it's gone again. oh, it's back with shrimp now! steak & lobster starting at only $15.99. hurry in before these three are gone again. outback steakhouse. .. here, it all starts with a simple..

breaking just moments ago, the democratic party may be starting to infection at least one democratic congress woman now reporting to oppose the parties latest unfair impeachment measure. we will have a full report tonight from capitol hill but first, another day, secret meeting, secret hearing, secret transcripts, secret whistle-blower in on whistle-blower, here's a whistle-blower, all because of a phone call between president trump and the president of ukraine. tonight, let me just cut to the chase here. none of this really in truth matters. the fake whistle-blowers thoughts, their feelings, they don't matter. anonymous sources don't matter. witnesses to the phone call, they don't matter. none of this circus but democrats are now dragging the entire country through matters because we have the actual transcript. it is public and it shows zero, nine, no misconduct whatsoever by the president. the transcript not only exonerates the president but it clearly features a president of the united states upholding his sworn duty to execute the laws of the united states and investigate foreign

so that is where democrats are.hey are saying this is about a principal and not necessarily politics. >> and they're voting now on this first resolution, the procedural resolution. they've got 15 minutes to vote. all 435 members of the house of representatives are presumably, whoever is there, will vote. you need 218 for the majority of the democrats have more than enough to get this passed. a quick question, michael. with the democrats and this new resolution are calling for, is that consistent with the legislative process, the legal process, that went before the impeachment process got going with president nixon and later with president bill clinton? >> there's a lot of similarity. but we also have to remember the context makes all the difference. so the different facts here, the different situation, the committee is on a different posture now when they did their investigation. something to also keep in mind is something that the constitution tells us. the constitution says the house has the sole power to impeach.

he's getting too much attack from the democrats the democrats. >> laura: michael, nobody is talking aboutclips and so forth. this is potentially a cataclysmic change of world powers. the balance of power on the globe. they are our biggest adversary, and we think rush is a problem? russia is a tiny little pea compared to china. the economy is tiny, depleted their own military, still an adversary, but nothing like china. tell us about this michelle, why it's such a national security nr country. >> it's the idea, they had 20 of these missiles, very old-fashioned, obsolete kind, for most of the last few decades. now suddenly that got 90. they are able to reach any target in america in 30 minutes or less. each one can carry 10h bombs, big round nose cone you saw, the shape of that knows: is 10h bombs that can fit inside. each one be separately targeted against an american city, or a small town, or an air force base. so that is one huge surprise, but there were several others in the parade. this wasn't supposed to happen in china. >> laura: who gave them the money to pay for the military weapon

we asked democrats to write democratic proposals in terms of importance.e asked republicans to rank those same proposals ontheir willingness to compromise on those proposals . so here for example 22 percent of democrats rate providing permanent legal status for those who came to the uss children and are not currently residing legally in the us commonly known as dreamers, 22 percent of democrats read this as the most important policy priority and 20 percent of republicans are most willing to compromise on that priority. so they cannot where there might be room for middle ground we see that it's a place where we might be able to get something done. at the same time, allowing children seeking asylum at the border to enter the country without fear of being detained or separated, we see that 21 percent of democrats rank this is their most important policy priority, yet only 11 percent of republicans rank this as a priority that they be willing to compromise on. that is an area where there might be less room bipartisanship. additionally here you will see the wal

what do these democrats, the three-ring circus of democrats. what have they accomplished in the last three years. can you name a single thing because i can't. the answer is nothing. they have been totally consumed by utter rage and rationality, denial, and one political which hunt after another. republicans, you cannot legitimize what is a sick, ugly, illegal, unconstitutional and what is nothing but illegitimate madness. don't show up. don't show up to the hearings. don't vote on the floor. here's your mandate. focus on we, the people that put you in office to be servants. be servants. work to get peace, and security abroad and at home. work for job creation, prosperity. never forget the forgotten men and women in this country. here's the ranking, intelligence committee chairman, desk nones is with us. your reaction to all of this, and i say, because it's so illegitimate, so unfair and so constitutional, republicans should not play a part in this, in my opinion. your your thoughts. >> i think you nailed it on the head, we have to have at least

democrats leading this effort behind the scenes and on the floor is the democratic caucus chair akeemeffries of new york, he spoke on the house floor about the impeachment inquiry, here is what he had to say. [video clip] >> earlier today, president trump urged his republican defenders to focus on substance. that is exactly what house democrats have been doing from the very beginning of this impeachment inquiry. we will continue to proceed in a serious, somber fashion. that is what the constitution requires at this moment. house democrats will continue to follow the facts and present the truth to the american people. president trump said focus on substance. what is the substance underlying this impeachment inquiry? , on a bipartisan basis, allocated $391 million in military and economic aid to ukraine. at a time when ukraine is under attack by russian backed separatists. ukraine is a friend, russia is a fellow. ukraine is a democracy, russia is a dictatorship. the united states is the only thing standing between letter mayor pugh between vladimir putin -- we allocated that money becau

democrats are suggesting that, perhaps, she, too, will need a subpoena. at the moment, she is expected to come and testify. now, behind the scenes, dallas discussions happens with the whistleblower himself or herself. there's extreme measures being secured for this person's testimony, including testifying in complete secrecy, so no one will have idea that it took place until after the fact. democrats are having this debate, whether to formalize an impeachment inquiry. this is a debate that will take place in the couple of days. some believe that it makes sense to have a vote to formalize the inquiry. >> i think it's time to put a resolution on the floor, structured in such a way that it can move forward with full power of the congress behind it. i think that will come in the next week or so. they want to fight, let us arm ourselves completely and totally with the full power of kopg. i'm sure the votes are there. >> one important person is not onboard. it's house speaker nancy pelosi. she does not think it's necessary because house rules doesn't require su

we have nine more of these democratic debates. every time they get on stage and they argue about taking guns away.they all agree continue to. infanticide, reparations. trump's poles go up three to four pointsra and so they understood that gradually they were eroding any idea that they were moderate and we've got nine more to come and nancy pelosi is going to be conducting an impeachment hearing on tv, an inquiry may be, and then we will have the democratic debates and people's will say they're going, he's the only thing between us and socialism. >> laura: we will have you both back when all that happens if that happens with thank you very much. both of you. i want to read those reactions. that's a lot of blank boxes there. coming up, the biden r campaign begging news networks to blacklist rudy g., but that won't end the ukraine trouble. explaining why biden and his team should be very h worried about one ofam the doj's ongoing investigations we just talked about, next. >> it's laughable that joe biden has done anything wrong. >> i

now democrats won't even hold a public vote? nothing is transparent. known transcripts, no hearing, no nothing, known rights for the president, no rights for republicans. no outrage from the media mob over the secrecy and how corrupt this impeachment coup attempt really is. none whatsoever. they are nothing, the mob and the media, but an extension of the democratic party. so, what does the cowardly, corrupt government adam schiff hiding? he's hiding a lot. sources tell me that the corrupt schiff star witnesses, they are not cooperating with this phony witch hunt and his narrative. one person brought in after another debunking the big lie about donald trump withholding funds to ukraine. democrats don't want these transcripts to become public because it will destroy this phony, corrupt narrative. instead, they want to control all of the information so they can selectively leak that one sentence that they think helps them. editorialized testimonies to win public support against the president. now, if you see what is going on here, it is a con job, it is r

the democrats are going to write a report.hey are going to come out of the secret rooms where they have been, where we believe there should be cameras and open and transparent process, but they are going to write a report and not report is going to take only a certain amount of the information, information and that they have actually tried to leak to witnesses to conclude, and they are going to put it in the judiciary and they are going to say this is the most crazy thing we've ever seen since the mueller report and it's time to impeach and yet with the american people are going to see it for what it is and jim is actually right. we have an election in 13 months. what the people decide in november of 2020. >> sean: will they actually vote though to impeach the president? >> well, we don't know sean but my guess is the reason the speaker of the house is not bringing it up for a vote to start this so-called impeachment inquiry is because those folks in the district that president tromp won, they're probably hearing from their co
