donald trump. >> all right. congressman joaquin castro, thanks for your time, sir. >> thank you. >>> let's bring in zerlina maxwell, for sirius xm and a veteran of hillary clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and is now an msnbc political analyst and here with me on set is brendan buck who served as the former chief communications adviser to former house speaker paul ryan. that is a lot of titles for the both of you. let me get your reaction from nancy pelosi last hour about the path forward. she said she's moving forward and directing the committee chairman to draw up articles of impeachment. look, as i sit here and talk to you, there are what, two work weeks left before the end of the year and we heard from house democrats that say it's their understanding they're going to vote before the end of the year. i put the question to you that i put to the congressman, do you think democrats can do that that quickly and preserve the integrity of the process? >> i think that i would actually answer a slightly different question in terms of the speed through which we're conducting this investigation and now a vote on the articles of

sirius xm radio and an msnbc analyst i did not know this about you, zelinia. your parents were pastors. your reaction to this. >> the entire presidency and political phenomenon of donald trump has put christians to a test. are they going to abide by what's in their bible and the things that donald trump reflects are not in their bible? lying is immoral and donald trump doesn't just lie and cheat, he cheats at all things. he cheats on his wives, golf, in elections. and i think it go thoosz basic foundation of who he is as a person and what that represents and it's a moment in which christians have to say am i going to abide by the teachings of jesus christ and be opposed to caging children, for example. one of the main tenants in the babl is protect the children. so it really is an indictment on, really, what i think is hypocrisy. they just want the judges. they want to limit women's reproductive freedom and that's all that matters. and that's a problem. >> talk about this editorial. donald trump called it a left-leading, progressive publication. that's not entirely true, but mike gallie was telling me they don't typically get accused of being lefties but it's not the most c

urban view on sirius xm and msnbc legal analyst, couldn't have two better guys to close out the year with. let's start with the ugly, danny. >> the ugly for me was the letter that donald trump thinking about ugly, it wasn't necessarily the biggest stories, but the nastiest stories. and that letter was just full of trumpisms. the part that blew me away, he didn't sit down at a laptop. he must have dictated it and there had to have been people suggesting do we put this or that in all caps. and a letter like that is never a pleasant thing to receive. which reminds me, i have a letter that i've written with some thoughts about the show in a similar vein. i wouldn't open it now. >> we'll see how it pans out in a couple of weeks. >> my ugly is kind of along the same lane here, for me it's trump enablers and that would be mitch mcconnell and lindsay graham. if you go back in history a few years, you will see the hypocrisy, a few years ago you had lindsay graham calling trump a racist and now they are just tap dancing for him as much as possible. these are the folks who are really enabling where we are right now. it's extremely ugly. they're like the dumb and dumber of 21st century
