arguments during the kavanaugh confirmation process that i was looking at my friend and senator jeff flake realizing how deeply troubled he was by the testimony of the woman who was accusing now justice kavanaugh of misdeeds, dr. christine blasey ford. these are long days. the arc of the presentation by the house managers is quite long. the amount of evidence, both witness testimony and the documents, texts is fairly heavy. so in the course of the day you can see folks' attention wander and their engagement come in and out. but the closing by adam schiff this evening was masterful, was compelling. should have left every senator in the chamber with a lump in their throat thinking about the consequence for the future of our country. the sweep and scope of the scheme that's been laid out, the corrupt scheme carried out by president trump through his direction to shake down ukraine, a vulnerable ally, and to withhold both a meeting in the white house that they badly wanted and needed, and $391 million in military aid as they continue to face attacks from russian-backed separatists, the consequ

jeff flake comes to mind. but do you think lamar alexander is legacy-minded in this way? >> lamar is a real gentleman, but he's also a partisan when he needs to be. and he has an excuse to support mcconnell, he's going to. but on something that is so stark as this question of whether or not to call john bolton, i think lamar will be in that column with the two women senators that i mentioned. >> senator, my last question for you has to do with the institution you loved and left, and that is the health of the u.s. senate. how it appears to you watching by day and by evening on cable television, as i assume you are, i'll ask the question they asked years ago in philadelphia. is the glass half full or half empty? >> increasingly it's getting a lot more difficult, and therefore the answer would be it's half empty. there was a significant change in the senate in the 18 years that i served. there was much more collegiality, civility, bipartisanship when i came in after the 2000 election, even after that very tough presidential election. but it's gotten to the point now that wha

may not be as snowy as new york, we have seen the flakes. what's going on there. been marching on pennsylvania avenue and have been circling the white house. what's going on now? >> reporter: that's right, fred. we started coming around the south side of the white house, circled around, now you can see the white house behind me. this is the north side. these marchers are going to stop in front of the white house, face the white house, send a strong message to the president. they have planned a dance and song targeted at the president, calling president trump a racist, a rapist rather, strong terms from the marchers. this is going to be sort of the climax of the march. then they'll return to where they started at freedom plaza, also pennsylvania avenue. as you mention, the weather here today has been brutal, it has been cold, raining, snowing at times. these marchers have been fired up throughout. you can hear the drums behind me. there have been chants of this is what democracy looks like. there have been chants of trump has got to go. and of course, impeachment i

talk about snow flakes, people. do your job. >> i think part of the reason is because we actually have heard from some republican senators and republicans like the president. it's just been in the democrats and the house managers' presentation like when jerry nadler played lindsey graham's own sound on what constitutes an abuse of power or impeachable offense. listen to this. >> i might say the same thing of lindsey graham who in president clinton's trial -- here is what he said. >> what's a high crime? how about an important person hurt somebody of low means? it's not very scholarly. but i think it's the truth. i think that's what they meant by high crimes. doesn't have to be a crime. it's just when you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people, you committed a high crime. >> if the white house is asking the republican senators to talk more, it must be to the extent it's leaving a mark. >> it's pretty simple, right? the big guy is sitting in the white house with a clicker in his hand and

in large part because a couple of them are likely to flake on the ultimate decision of, should the presidente removed from office? it's more likely that we'll have more democrats voting to retain the president than republicans. >> chris: what about republicans? >> this all depends upon how these first several days play out. you have five members of the senate, three in particular, alexander, collins and lined to have witnesses. but what's the sense of the end of 48 hours of the presentation of the two cases. do they need to hear mora? are saying, we did not prove our case in the house and in order to prove the case in the senate, we've got to have these witnesses. i think that speaks to the under lying flaw in this whole approach. >> chris: you've actually brought us to the next subject. we asked you for questions for the panel. on this issue of whether or not the senate should call witnesses, we got this on twitter from gloria perry. quote, why should the senate be doing the job of the house? the jury hears the evidence and decides on its validity. let's present it. the house should have co

just in the past week we saw the frosted flakes and now we have the french fries instead of gatorade.pancake syrup. >> or the jell-o bowl. >> people are getting creative. gatorade is kind of yesterday. >> i still can't get used to the smurf turf. >>> join us tonight at 11:00. >> reporter: oakland's first friday of the year kicks off tonight. we're getting thoughts on the laptop theft and safety coming up tonight at 11:00. >>> an east baytown hires a trapper to take on rampaging pigs. tonight, an update on the fight. >>> coming up tonight at 8:00, it's "american housewife" followed by "fresh off the boat." and a special two-hour 20/20, and stay with us for abc 7 news at 11:00. stick around because jimmy kimmel live comes on at 11:35. >>> finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters. from time to time we all make decisions about how appearance to please others. some feel compelled to do it every day. thankfully, the new year brought a new law that prevents discrimination based on hairstyle or hair texture. it's called the crown act. and it took effect three days ago. crown

just talk to jeff flake. is that the driving force here? >> i think it's a little two parts. it's that first part you just talked about, and it's the second part which is that ultimately, they don't have the votes to remove him from office. so this fight over witnesses, it becomes one in which eventually the outcome is the same as the outcome you would have perhaps at midnight tonight, right? even if you draw this out for another week, two weeks, months, who knows. and so a lot of republicans have been very receptive to the argument from the majority leader and leadership behind closed doors which is, okay, even if everything is true that we have heard from the house democrats, does that rise to an impeachable offense? if the answer is no, then why are we going to drag this out even more? we can argue about whether or not that is a politically convenient argument, but it is certainly one that republicans have been receptive to. and we should add on top of it. we talk about susan collins. a moderate up for re-election in 2020. we don't talk about the fact that joni ernst has b

first snow of the year, snow flake emoji. it's a lovely photo but that's definitely not how the white house looked yesterday, because it was 70 degrees at the white house yesterday. 27 degrees above the normal high temperature for the weekend. there was no snow. there were people out in shorts and not just shorts, guys. eating ice cream, but no, no snow. just insanely unseasonably unnervingly warm middle of january. there is not yet a good explanation for this official communication. maybe plas' the white house's version of a this is fine moment, or perhaps some other perfectly reasonable explanation like a social media isn't that few and we will be sure to ask about that at the next press briefing. >>> on a friday in new jersey, >>> on a friday in new jersey, senator cory booker was here in studio for a very first live show of the year. i interviewed him as a presidential candidate also facing an impeachment trial, despite juggling his schedule, he seemed like a man unburdened. >> so, before we jump in -- [ cheers and applau
