however, representative kelseyiv gabbard went on fox news this morning and said if we move forward with impeachment, it's incredibly divisive and bad for the country. >> i've been consistent inha saying that i believe impeachment at this juncture would be terribly divisive for the country at a time when we are already extremely divided. >> joe biden also gave a press conference but he was more tepid with it and laid out some preconditions. president trump continues to stonewall and this is what congress must do. it could also be the fact that he is implicated as well in this and it's not such great news for him, either. >> tucker: is not great news. i think most democrats have decided joe biden will not be the nominee, he's not up for it. this story puts his family under --e microscope. >> absolutely. especially now that we see elizabeth warren in the latest "des moines register" poll, now she's a front runner in iowa so she has some and so is your son. >> tucker: and they are theth center of the story, there is no way around that. great to see you tonight. joe biden himself as we just

what would president gabbard do if a saudi oil feel was conclusively bombed by iranian? >> i would recognize first and fore most what our objective is. as president as the american people -- >> what is our objective in middle east. >> it should be, is our national security, about what do we need to keep american people safe. the great threat that we face here right now, if status we is allowed to continue with trump throwing the iran nuclear deal in trash can. all inspectors are now gone and iran is moving forward. kennedy: they were untrust worthy and there was never vie >> iran saying they was in compliance, since drus trump let that, that has gone away. kennedy: what about saudi arabia? would you continue to sell arms to them. >> no. kennedy: and the ethnic in china. >> close loop on iran first, this is important and precipice that we're facing as american people right now, what trump needs to do, what i would do if i were president right now recognize that this strategy has failed. in order to make sure that iran does not continue to make progress toward developing a

again, tulsi gabbard now getting behind the impeachment process by the democrats in the house. did qualify for the democratic debate next month. so maybe the timing is related to that. speaker democrats are doing everything they can to try and get rid of a legitimate president, some of that was elected by the people, someone that they know they are going to have a very hard time beating in 2020. i think it's infuriating to people, they are showing their frustration by doing into our campaign. so we would like to say thank you to the democrats for that. >> jessica: you're welcome.

"the lead with jake tapper" starts right now. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >>> welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. we start with breaking news in our politics lead. this is a historic day. within the hour house speaker nancy pelosi is expected to announce a formal impeachment inquiry into president trump. multiple sources confirm to cnn. right now speaker pelosi is meeting with house democrats behind closed doors on capitol hill. at least 160 members of congress now support starting impeachment proceedings including even some from congressional districts that trump won in 2016. the scandal involving president trump reportedly pushing the ukrainian president to investigate joe biden and his son hunte

congressman tell us i gabbard, and her vote is not for impeachment and here's what she said after she read it today. >> when you step outside of the bubble in washington and you get to where most folks in the country are, i'm not a lawyer, but i think most people reading through that transcript are not going to find that extremely compelling cause to throw out a president that won an election in 2016. >> what do you say to congresswoman gabbard? >> well, two things. i disagree with her and of course, in addition to having read that transcript i read the full report today which other members of congress will hopefully be able to do, but second i agree with this, whatever we do on impeachment, we are determined in a couple of weeks to bring out a bill to lower prescription drug costs. we need an infrastructure bill and the house has been passing significant legislation. it's getting dumped and stonewalled in the senate, but the point is the american people want us to do things that are going to help their everyday lives. now this is a duty we have under the constitution so we can't igno

tulsi gabbard has it right. when you look at this transcript, when you talk about with actually being done, this is something that i think the appeasement of her base, the speaker's face is all we are seeing here. other members driving the conversation but let's be specific, this is not about that. >> martha: there's no doubt that would be very difficult vote for twentysomething members of the house on the democrat side who were elected in districts that elected president trump to take that impeachment vote. they, i'm sure, are reluctant to take that vote. if they know that it would be difficult for them, so it becomes sort of justice exercise that keeps this going and going if they're not going to put their money where their mouth is and actually stand up for what they say. what they say is an egregious violation of the president meddling with a foreign country. they either think that or they don't think that very >> exactly, if this was egregious they would have us on the floor. miss pelosi is probably -- back

tulsi gabbard did not mince words. if she has fired back at the president on twitter this way. >> for you to think that you can out our proud servicemen and women to the prince of saudi arabia is disgraceful. your words and actions are of a trail of my and sisters in uniform, the american people, and our constitution. my fellow service members and i, we are not your prostitutes. you are not our pimp. >> martha: those are obviously very strong words directed at the president, the commander in chief. congresswoman, do you stand by those? >> absolutely, i do. trump's intent was made very clear with that tweet. as a soldier, i took an oath as well as as a member of congress. as a soldier i took an oath to support and defend our constitution, to protect and defend the american people. not the kingdom of saudi arabia, not any other foreign power. if, for some reason, that's not what trump meant, then he should come out and say that's not what i meant and clarify it, but he hasn't done that. >> martha: it does seem like a rat

once you get beyond that, booker, o'rourke, yang, klobuchar, steyer, gabbard.f they'll be able to meet those thresholds. so we'll go from ten to 11 or 12 in the next debate but then because of what the dnc announced today you could be down to single digits. single digits on the debate stage starting in november. new dnc rules announced today. coming up we'll go live to des moines where elizabeth warren has just received some good news. two top campaign reporters are coming here when "the 11th hour" comes right back. ke any trade-i? that's right! great! here you go... well, it does need to be a vehicle. but - i need this out of my house.
