here's what congressman garamendi had to say. >> the morning that we visited with the minister of defense ministry. and at that moment, our cell phones went off about this text that he had sent out. and so, as we got out of the bus, greeted him, one of my colleagues wrapped his arm around him and said, "your text was right on." and he acknowledged that, yes, he did send the text, and that that was an issue. we didn't go any further, because at that very moment, a memorial had begun for the soldiers that were killed on that day over the previous five years, so we entered that. but it was very, very clear that this is a man that was standing up for what was right, pushing back against what is obviously a deal that the president was trying to cut with syria. the money was absolutely withheld, some $400 million withheld, was not released until all of this thing broke open following the whistle-blower's whistle account. in addition to that, there was five hours between that text message from ambassador taylor and the response from sondland. and it is now clear from the information that sondlan

. >> harris: real quickly, representative garamendi, democrat from california, was on another networkalling for a full house vote. which is something republicans have wanted, too. on impeachment. that would force the situation to be more open. maybe the present could get thas hoping is that the people they've tried to subpoena as democrats will also come to testify. see three house republicans don't want to vote now. they said they don't want to. >> harris: i'm just telling you, he was on record, garamendi. >> gregg: it seems wrong to that one individual, nancy pelosi, unilaterally hold the presidency hostage. >> melissa: the president bashing joe biden after the 2020 contender called for his impeachment. why the president thinks this is an act of desperation. >> donald trump has violated his oath of office. betrayed the nation, and committed an impeachable act. i believe he should be impeached.

congressman garamendi. i'm not going to say that you are equally yoked on looking at things politically, but he says they are ready for the fight in his terms. they have the votes. i will give you a quick last word. >> well, i know mr. garamendi pretty well. it doesn't surprise me that he says that. he believes what he believes. but he also, i think, what i know of him, he believes in the process that should take place. i think he believes in the democratic process. i don't want to put words in his mouth, but maybe needs to get if you have a democratic neighbors to say they want to do it correctly as opposed to not. it maybe the speaker can be truthful about it, as well. >> harris: wow. brad wenstrup from the great state of ohio. congressman, thank you for your time on this friday. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> harris: fox news alert, the pentagon spending don't ask any more than 1,000 troops to saudi arabia following a tax on to saudi oil facilities. the united states along with several european nations po

today john garamendi, a democrat intluns within the caucus raced the specter of doing that. others i talked with are echoing that call. they believe they could call the president's bluff. one important person is still resisting that call. it's house speaker nancy pelosi. she does not believe it's necessary to have a formal vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry. nowhere in the rules or in the constitution does it require that, but that is the kind of debate expect democrats to have as they push to wrap up this impeachment probe and essentially move on articles of i'm -- impeachment by thanksgiving. >> thank you. joining me now is congressman denny heck. thanks for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> do you agree? do you want that vote in. >> i think what the president wants is for us to talk about i. the fact is there's nowhere in the constitution or house roles that we take a vote such as this. he would rather us talking about this than frank i talking about the underlying act, the issue at hand, mainly his betrayal, namely with holding security assistance to president zele

i want you to listen here to california democratic congressman john garamendi. >> first i do think thatput a vote on the floor, a resolution for the inquiry, structured in such a way that it can move forward with full power of the congress behind it. i think that's probably going to come in the next week or. so that will further strengthen congress's hand. >> so he's an outlier in that position in the party. it's not constitutionally required, but do you -- what do you think of his argument that it strengthens the democrats' hand. >> i have no problem with the vote. i favor accountability. just as you say, the constitution says the house shall have the sole power of impeachment, that's it. it doesn't tell the house how to go about things. we're just talking about an inquiry, and the house can do what it wants, and there's no rekwoormt for a vote. but, yes, i agree with the congressman there would be nothing wrong with that. >> let me ask you this. we teased this at the end of the last block. you told my producers that you don't think a president should be impeached in his first term. ex

a short time ago, your colleague, congressman garamendi was on saying we would use the full power of were refusing to answer questions, essentially going to inherent contempt. would you agree with that move? >> yeah, i did hear that. staying with my friend from california. inherent contempt hasn't been used since 1935. i do believe congress should explore that option. now the idea of imprisoning people in the capitol basement i think has a few practical problems. however, the one aspect of it that appeals to me is the ability to levy $25,000 daily fines. i think that's something we need to seriously look at. bus what is at is that sick not just the facts in these matter. but whether or not going forward congress will continue to be a co-equal branch of government and whether or not congress will have the ability to exercise oversight over the executive. >> that is a key constitutional principle that is now at stake. >> what are you hearing from folks in your district? >> you know, it's very interesting. i represent proud to represent my hometown of philadelphia for most of the last s

john garamendi of maryland i believe suggested that if witnesses won't cooperate, the sergeant of arms may need to take them off and haul them to the capitol jail. is that a serious option the democrats are talking about? >> i don't know if that is a serious option but the fact is that the white house and the president is stonewalling every effort on the part of the house to subpoena or have witnesses testify. so that is still what we should be focusing on and i think the house would consider adding that kind of behavior to their articles of impeachment. >> i want to ask you also about the news that cnn broke at the top of 3:00 eastern that the anonymous senior administration official from the trump administration who wrote that "new york times" op-ed in september of 2018, that individual is now writing a book. it is called "a warning" and it basically is still anonymous. but it makes a case against re-electing president trump. how do you feel about senior administration officials or former senior administration officials do this kind of thing anonymously? >> well i wish they didn't fe

joining us to discuss, john garamendi, member of the armed services committee.ng with us. >> good to be with you. >> for weeks with the whistle-blower's complaint first came to light, the principal trump complaint about it, or criticism, as well from his allies is that it's all based on hearsay. now we have someone on that call and says he heard the same thing and expressed concerns. does this put the hearsay argument to bed in your view? >> well, it's one more step in that process and certainly a very big and important step. others have come forward with direct information, not so much on the phone call but the issue surrounding it. i'm thinking of ambassador taylor specifically here. and we also do not know the exact testimony given in many of the depositions, but this is a very important moment. this is a person that was there. there will be others asked to testify. and when we do, we'll have firstperson account of what actually took place and, really, we ought to get the tape itself that's hidden in that super computer or super safe computer white house. >>

john garamendi today on cnn ann annin flew -- an influential vote and saying let's call the white house's bluff. the white house said this is not a valid inquiry so have the vote and then the white house will have to stand on no grounds to turn over the information and if they don't do it then, then democrats argue it will only strengthen their case for the president obstructing congress which they say is an impeachable offense. >> manu raju from capitol hill. and let's discuss this with our panel. and i want to ta-- to start wit you, muddy and it is a new phase and the pressure is on and the white house is stonewalling and democrats are trying to figure out the strategy. what do you think it should be? should it be more subpoenas, pushing for a vote to formalize this, both, what do you think? >> i think pushing for the vote, i'm not a big way of the fan that nancy pelosi handles this, the way that do you it because the white house demands it is absurd. some say call the bluff. that might work with a normal white house but this white house doesn't give a damn about bluffs or facts and it

congressman john garamendi just returned from a week-long trip to ukraine.e joins us on a whole host of issues. i want to start with this breaking news, this announcement of a subpoena. you called on sondland to step down. first of all, tell us what is your reaction to this subpoena? is this the right move, and why are you calling for him to step down? >> well, the stepdown has to do with making him available to talk to the committee. a subpoena works even better. good, get that subpoena out there, force him to be there. he is a key player in all things about ukraine, about the phone call, about the pressure that was put on that government, about the strong arming that took place. he is a central figure. he must testify and he must turn over his private emails. keep in mind all the trouble that hillary got into about private emails and servers. well, here we are, the exact same situation. we need that information. subpoena, get it done, get it and let's continue on with the investigation. >> what do you make, sir, of the fact that his personal devices were h

garamendi of california saying, "look, there is precedence for this. it's the right thing to do."d then he said, "let's fight it out. democrats and republicans, the executive, let's all fight it out but do it so everybody can call witnesses, subpoena, whatever. and then if your witnesses don't show up you get the sergeant at arms." took with him he said, "you put them in a little jail." [laughter] he made news saying that last week. i wonder how many other democrats would come on board with him in terms of that way of thinking. >> melissa: strong words from attorney general bill barr decrying attacks on religious values, and warning of the rise of militant secularism. his comments, and the reaction. plus, president trump issuing new sanctions against turkey over its syria offensive. now vice president pence preparing to lead the u.s. delegation to turkey. so are we any closer to a cease-fire? >> president erdogan reached out and requested the call. president trump communicated to him very clearly, that the united states of america wants turkey to stop the invasion. ♪ there are lot

some democratic members like john garamendi in california are saying maybe there should be a vote, maybe the white house is right on that. almost calling the president's bluff. if you do have a vote vote and the president says no, maybe they put pressure on the white house is still cooperating with witnesses. >> melissa: i want to ask about the alleged bias of that first whistleblower. the "washington examiner" now reporting that the person had a significant professional tie too a 2020 democratic candidate who was not named. president trump tweeting, "the whistleblower's lawyer is a big democrat. there was a blur has ties to one of my democrat opponents. why does the ig i see to continue?" what you think about that? in fairness, everybody in washington is on one side or the other. >> yes, we input in context. what with the motivations for the support? byron york did great reporting of the "washington examiner" ," and we should credit him. but let's go back a couple weeks. i broke this story on sean hannity's programs down my program a couple weeks back that the inspector general found th

. >> your fellow democrat john garamendi as you heard said the house should take a formal vote on the impeachment inquiry. do you think that is something that should happen very soon, as he does? >> well, as the speaker said, she's not completely taking it off the table. but it is not essential, it is not required by the constitution and the investigation is well underway. republicans in the white house have also used this as a distraction to distract from the fact they have a president who has abused his power. who asked the ukrainian president for a favor. so that he could benefit politically and the scandal has continued to grow and it grew so quickly that the white house got to the point they are trying to put the brakes on it by shutting off congress's ability to investigate what happened. and so we're going to continue to do that swreegs. we may get -- we may decide to put it to the floor for a vote. but if trump thinks that is going to save him, there are close to 230 members of congress who said they support an impeachment inquiry. so that vote is not going to save donald trum

. >> harris: before, from california last week, garamendi said if we give them subpoena power acrosshe political aisle, if we hold a full vote, the democrats and republicans can fight it out. he was in favor of that. part of the reason is if they push gives the subpoenas come he says "let's get the sergeant-at-arms to put them in a little jail have on property." >> ed: i think that ends up making it a big food fight and donald trump -- >> harris: it's a circus. >> dagen: there are americans across this country from coast to coast holding their nose because it smells. >> johanna: there also americans wondering why our president standing on the south lawn of the white house and calling on china to investigate his political opponent. because of that, i think vulnerable republicans are going to be as reluctant to vote on this as democrats. >> harris: why are you nodding? >> ed: i'm trying to listen carefully. i think i was nodding to the point that when the president talked about inviting china into all of this, that poured some gasoline onto the fire. the president stopped talking about

let's arm ourselves with the full p >> president trump and democrat john garamendy. they weigh in on whether the house should formally vote to start the impeachment inquiry. i'm joined by republican congressman lee zeldin and congressman jim himes. congressman himes, let's start with you. we heard from ambassador marie yovanovitch, somebody who testified to your committee. despite the fact that the white house ordered her not to do so, tell us how important is she to this inquiry. >> she's very important to one of the parts of the inquiry. apart from the president holding up aid to ukraine, expecting to get a commitment that there would be an investigation of his political opponent, the moving of that transcript to the secret server, the third piece that's deeply concerning is a united states ambassador who mere aske her tour for a year, is then summarily told to get on the next plane to washington to be removed from her post for what f appears to be giuliani's effort with his various minions to achieve whatever aims giuliani was trying to achieve in ukraine. this ha

and her comments echo those of congressman john garamendi last week. could this really happen?lly and he refused to come forward, you could go to jail? >> the supreme court has confirmed that congress has inherent power, which means they can come if they issue a subpoena on the person refuses to comply, they can detain that person until they comply. this power has been used since 1927. it is used done like several times but not in modern times. since then you've got these contempt statutes that have been passed. it's all the books, there is no reason they couldn't do it if they were sufficiently frustrated by an unwillingness were witnessed to cooperate with a subpoena. to be when i would imagine there's a pretty good reason that i it hasn't happened since 1927. i'm just saying, there might be something a little wrong with it. but we will continued dumb i continue to watch us unfold. we appreciate you talking with us, thank you. elizabeth warren's crack about those opposed to gay marriage went viral and got a whole lot of applause paid but also a lot of backlash. what could it

garamendi. >> it wasn't me, john. >> thank you. it certainly want mr. meadow, thank you. the question has been raid why we're here today dealing with this issue. all of us have taken the oath of office, and basically says i do solemnly swear i will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and i would bear truth faith and allegiance to the same. we are here about the constitution of the united states. we know that article 1, section 9, clause 9, is the foreign emoluments clause which is very much the question before this committee at this moment. and article 2, section 1, clause says 7 of the presidential emoluments clause is before the committee. i think we would all agree that's the issue at hand and the reason we're here is to carry out our solemn oath of office. and both of you before us also took the same oath of office. so, let us proceed then with some questions and then understand why we are here. mr. matthews, you stated just a moment ago that the tenant is in full compliance with the lease. my question go

. >> mister garamendi. >> sorry. >> no need. you were carrying on a line of questions i want to pursue. dennis muilenburg, you're the chief executive officer, do you set the pace for the company? do you set the standards to q do you set the purpose and goal of the company? >> that is part of my responsibility. >> so the answer is yes, you do those things. >> yes, sir. >> as the chairman just said that you receive a $30 million renumeration from the company in 2018? in stock etc.? >> i recall my salary was $23 million that year. >> then i suppose this is incorrect, came from the seattle times, says $30 million. you have at least three employees that have left the company. adam dickinson, rip lytic and whistleblower and charlotte, all of which said the company's goal is profit over quality. are they correct? >> those comments are not accurate. >> what is the company's standard for quality over profit? >> our core values in this company top that list, safety, quality and integrity. >> i see. in 2016 when boeing started asking for t

and john garamendi congress from california he was on another network.ep in mind. >> i do think it's time for us to put a vote on the floor a resolution for the inquiry structured in such a way that it can move forward with full power of the congress behind it. that will further strengthen congress' hand. they want to fight then let us arm ourselves completely and totally with the full power of congress. ainsley: is he breaking from his party. he is saying let's take a vote. formal inquiry. steve: he sounds like the president of the united states. ed: president wants a vote. he will cooperate. i will turn over some of these documents. allow witnesses to testify. but, what the democrats may not fully understand is that what the president is really pushing for is a vote so that, you know, regular order will prevail. what we have seen in previous impeachment which is it's not just adam schiff and the democrats with subpoena power. it's the president and his legal team with subpoena power. who would be one of the first witnesses if they have subpoena power?
