sophie never saw gardner's picture of her. his photographs did not circulate back to indian country. but emerging academic conversations about visual sovereignty, representational jurisdiction, and indigenous media remind us that native peoples have long been involved in the production and circulation of visual images. the needs of native subjects and non-native photographers don't always converge. in the early 1980's, an indian school in south dakota cacheiewed a local interviewed local sue -- sioux aboutlocal those whose ancestors had been photographed over a century earlier. the 1877 government catalog described associated tribal groups as people who had made more substantial progress in civilizations. many of them having permanently discarded the indian habits and dress. but a century later, community members recalled their relatives differently. struck by who you see on the right, it was no assimilationist. similarly, smutty bear on the left was an expert hunter who resisted federal policy. these family stories shift the

swing states, you're in a very -- cory gardner especially in colorado, good luck running in the general election saying it's okay to the people of colorado, it's okay for the president of the united states to use military aid that the united states congress already approved that cory gardner already approved, the president held it up until he could get dirt on his chief democratic rival. good luck saying that's okay and that's not an abuse of power. same with susan collins up in maine. good luck winning a general election unless you vote at least for one article of impeachment. you can go around the country, martha mcsally is in a very difficulties position in arizona as well. this is very clearly -- joni ernst in iowa. people in the military can say what they want but voters will know they're lying if they say they think it's okay for congress to approve $400 million in military aid for a democratic ally who's been invaded by vladimir putin's russia and then to hold that up and to hold it up until you get campaign dirt

same for cory gardner, same for martha mcsally, same for thom tillis. they have challengers who will be on the ballot, who haven't gotten much traction. if they cast a major vote against donald trump that gets trump made, that gets trump in the mood to get revenge, those challengers could get a lot of attention, a lot of money fast and these rks could get into trouble in those primaries really fast. competing incentives for them. there are democratic wild cards, most notably joe manchin, doug jones running for re-election in alabama, trump state there and even kirsten sinema. these names come into play potentially from the republican standpoint in terms of getting party flips. anyway, coming up, the president is counting on mitch mcconnell doing whatever happens next on the impeachment front. two journalists are keeping a close watch on capitol hill when "the 11th hour" continues. >>> president trump may be brushing off impeachment in public. as one of our next guests reports he is feeling the gravity of it all privately. quote president trump is blasti

because, we are also busy, a lot of democrats think that the republicans are in trouble like cory gardner or susan collins of maine. that they will actually have trouble getting reelected. doug jones saying he's not for impeachment shows he knows it's not meritorious. and deftly not going to vote for it. >> jesse: do you agree? >> tom: but no big headlines on doug jones. and the mainstream media. what was the big story? someone at "christianity do a" makes the headlines. and if you can find anybody at all and they try to make it seem like a big movement, even then evangelicals support. >> jesse: we will talk about that in a moment.

or cory gardner? >> yes. >> they can survive that in their home states. >> that's the only way they can survive because this is early, right? it's -- it's january this will happen. there's ten months to go. you could have a republican challenger in a primary. you could have a third-party right wing candidate syphoning votes off. trump will possibly encourage such things as a mark and a tact on their disloyalty. >> what about for history, though? are there any -- any senators, republican senators looking at this and saying, gosh, this is going to be written about in the history books. i'm not sure i want my name next to this. >> yeah, romney. i think mitt romney. >> he's the only one? >> he is the only one. and by the way -- >> why is he the only one? >> yeah. >> why is he the only one? because he is the least vulnerable of anybody. okay? he is not -- he does not come up until 2024. he is in his 70s. >> there are other senators of that profile. >> there are other senators who i think are retiring and t

cory gardner is going to need a lot of votes from a lot of republicans in colorado.republicans are 80% supportive of the president right now. i don't see that changing absent a really big new set of facts coming to life. >> adrienne lindsey graham released a statement it's a sad ridiculous sham in the u.s. house of representatives. this needs to come to a quick end. do you see a way for house managers to make a case in the senate in a way that would convince republicans to change their minds or are republicans beholding to their constituents and their constituents, it seems, at least donald trump's base, is firmly behind him? does that mean the outcome is predetermined? >> you know, katy, i don't think the outcome is predetermined, but i think it's going to be a tough challenge. look, if you have a house manager going to the senate floor to make the case for the house impeachment vote, you know you are messaging in part that 4% to 5% of undecided americans deciding the election in 2020. those are suburban voters, independent voters, constitueste fence. i want to add

frank gardner, thank you. chief executive of boeing has been sacked less than a week after the plane—maker said it would temporarily halt production of its troubled 737 max airliner. the company has struggled to recover after 346 people died in two crashes involving its planes. our business correspondent, theo leggett, has the story. two devastating accidents and 346 people died. the first plane crashed into the sea off indonesia late last year. then, in march, an identical aircraft went down in these fields in ethiopia minutes after take—off. since then, boeing's newest and fastest—selling aircraft, the 737 max, has been grounded worldwide. blame's been placed on a piece of flight control software, known as mcas, that activated at the wrong time and forced both planes into a catastrophic dive. boeing's failures and mr mullenberg's leadership have been angrily condemned in the us congress. those pilots never had a chance. these loved ones never had a chance. they were in flying coffins. senator, if i could try

there are a number of republican senators who could decide joni ernst, cory gardner, tillis. if republican senators decide to have a fair trial, there will be a fair trial. i think this is mitch mcconnell's strategy to assume there will be no fair trial and to move the conversation. i'm glad speaker pelosi had the wherewithal to withhold the articles of impeachment so we have not blown past this trial. most importantly for mitt romney, for cory gardner, for all of these senators, what i would say to you is you're getting new information now. imagine how much new information will come out in the weeks and months, and if you have a sham trial, you will be not just humiliated right now, but humiliated in the history books for covering up for your political leader. >> so mark, do stories like "the new york times's" revelation of this sit-down between esper, pompeo, bolton and the president do stories like this urging the president to release the money to the ukraine in late august two and a half weeks before he actually did release it once the revelation of the whistle-blower com

you stand up and once again you're cory gardner, mitt romney, you say look, this is what you guys pay me for. this is what i'm here for i want to hear the facts and i'm leaning toward acquitting. i hope i acquit. i'm wlt president. i stand with the president. but i can't stand for you, my constituents, unless i do my job and hear more facts. i don't know any voter other than the crazies, if you will, that will not respond, okay, that makes sense. >> there's no legal context for people, for jurors, if we can still call them that after everything that mcconnell has said about senate republicans lately. and i think politically, senate republicans will be digging out of mcconnell's messaging the last six days. but there's no parallel for jurors to make a decision without at least being interested in or open to evidence, is there? >> go ahead. >> i don't know, jeff. you go. i'm going to end up agreeing with you. the jurors don't have a choice. they don't have a choice. first of all, they don't have a choice because they're instructed by the judge that they have to take the facts and eviden

collins in a state that clinton won, gardner in a state that clinton won, mcsally in a state that trumphave gotten blue we are since then and tillis in a state that trump won but only by 3.5 points. in other words, all of them have to think long and hard about how this vote is going to resonate with general election voters. >> what do you think about that, rashad? do you see any of these republicans breaking? i'm looking at cory gardner, that's a pretty blue state he's running in now. >> well, sure, and i think we should add senator murkowski to that list as well. >> sure. >> here is the thing, when we look at who will possibly vote on the rules, well, i think you're going to have a significant number of republicans who are willing to vote against mcconnell's wishes when it comes to the rules. i don't think those same u.s. senators who are republicans will actually vote to impeach or remove the president of the united states, but i do think they're going to vote in a way that's fair to the actual rules and you don't need a super majority for that is correct you only need a simple majori

frank gardner, bbc news. nada: as we heard, u.s. intelligence agencies have concluded that the crown prince ordered mr. khashoggi'killing.ri budh has denied that. david ignatius is a "washington post" columnist who was friends with mr. khashoggi for more than 15 years. the bbc with him earlier. david: trumpimself seems to have decided to give mohammad bin salman a pass and not to press him on this. other parts of the government intelligence ancies, the state department itself, has been arabia show in somthatthat saudi there is accountability. military and intelligence g service have a lot rid the stability of the kingdom and want more answers that they have got. in a sense, what the saudi prosecut has done is a poke in the eye of these agencies in the u.s., which the saudis know very well have been demanding some accountability and action be taken. nada: david ignatius speaking to the bbc the chief executive of boeing has been fired less thane a weekfterlane maker said it would mporarily halt production of the 737 max airliner. the

and that puts collins and gardner all in a tough position. would never bet mcmcconnell when it comes to holding his caucus together. but you have to wonder if some of them get a little bit nervous about being too far out there covering up for the president. >> the senate is not the house. so here's what the house republicans are. they have co-signed to the call being are. they have co-signed to withholding military aid for a country at war. all u.s. foreign policy regarding ukraine running through giuliani, so said pompeo and documents subpoenaed from the state department, so said gordon sondland, the president's hand-picked former inauguration donor. it is unlikely that every republican in the senate will co-sign onto all the corruption that the house republicans have. >> that's exactly right. the senate was built to be that way a little bit more dignified, a little bit more settled. and there is a lot going on because we are going into 2020 where there's going to be a lot of vulnerable republicans. like card enter and tillis. i mean, mitch

frank gardner, bbc news.resenter, caroline flack, has appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend. ms flack appeared at highbury magistrates court after being arrested and charged with assault by battery following a domestic incident at her home in london earlier this month. helena wilkinson was in court and she updated us a little earlier. caroline flack struggled to get into the court because there was a scrum of photographers here today. her boyfriend, who she is accused of assaulting, was here in the public gallery to support her today. it is alleged that she hit him over the head with a lamp while he was sleeping after she found messages on his phone that led her to believe that he was cheating on her. i think it is in court today said that when he rang 999 he was almost begging for help when officers went to the flat they found them both covered in blood and one officer likened the scene to a horror movie. also, caroline flack is alleged to have tripped over a table while in pol

frank gardner, bbc news.rat in the us senate, chuck schumer, has again demanded that donald trump's impeachment trial include witnesses. this in the light of an email, recently emerged, that suggests the white house sought to freeze aid to ukrainejust 91 minutes after mr trump spoke to president zelensky in that controversial phone call last july. at a news conference chuck schumer also urged president trump, once again, to co—operate with the trial. so we say to president trump, if you are so confident you did nothing wrong, why won't you let your men testify? if you did nothing wrong, mr president, why do you seem so eager to avoid the truth, to hide the truth? as for the republicans, the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, has been speaking to fox news. he says he hasn't ruled out allowing witnesses to testify at the trial, but also responded directly to chuck schumer. all i'm asking of schumer is that we treat trump the same way we treated clinton. we had a procedure that was approved 100 to nothing,

, sorry, corey gardner. are a number of people that could change the tenor of this. >> that goes to how this is going to work. there's a snap judge out of washington focusing on mcconnell out of habit. as you say and people are starting to learn, unlike other things it's whoever gets to 51. if a few of those folks say a single witness like what i just mentioned, attorney general barr making a sort of a vague denial. and then there's the fact that throughout recent history there's been a lot of pressure on the idea that people should testify before congress, that you don't want executive covering it up. fox news analysts used to say that. take a look. >> american survivors of the attacks of 911 of last year are being told by the feds to keep quiet. >> they haven't provided the basics about benghazi. this is unacceptable. >> accusations that the president's people are making threats p against benghazi witnesses. >> to get to the truth, you've got to have all the information. >> judge. >> and that's different -

to pick up 20 seats which is the majority that there are base voters where we know republican cory gardner is up for real election and has always been able to win the democratic vote even make sally in arizona and north carolina especially in urban areas with every 2019 special election and then prevent some republicans like susan collins to whether these political storms when the democratic base is so fired up. >> so explain for our viewers how many are up for reelection versus democrats? >> in 2018 democrats were on defense talking about reelection and a lot of those did lose half one reelection. this year is the opposite republicans are on defense there are only two republican senators that represent states that hillary clinton one both of them are up for reelection republicans are also on defense and west carolina and arizona and iowa democrats need to defend michigan that could depend on the presidential outcome but also that democrats do have thevu most vulnerable area in alabama so taking that into account democrats need to pick up five seats in order to make up for the loss. >> and

our security correspondent frank gardner reports.t public sighting of jamal khashoggi, seen here walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul in october last year. he never came out alive. turkish cctv footage shows a hit team of 15 saudi government agents arriving in istanbul to intercept khashoggi. inside the consulate, they overpowered him, injected him and suffocated him. his body has never been found. 11 men were eventually put on trial. today, the preliminary sentences were announced. translation: the criminal court in riyadh has delivered the following preliminary sentences for ii of the accused, sentencing five of them to death in retribution. they are the ones directly implicated in the death of the victim, may god rest his soul. at the time of the crime, saudi arabia initially denied responsibility, but turkey, which had bugged the consulate, leaked details of what really happened. in november 2018, the cia said the killing was probably ordered by the saudi crown prince. and injune this year, a un report said there was cred

frank gardner, thank you.hief executive of the us aircraft manufacturer boeing, has been sacked, less than a week after the company said it would temporarily halt production of its troubled 737 max airliner. boeing has struggled to recover after 346 people died in two crashes involving the 737. our business correspondent, theo leggett, has the story. two devastating accidents and 346 people died. the first plane crashed into the sea off indonesia late last year. then, in march, an identical aircraft went down in these fields in ethiopia minutes after take—off. since then, boeing's newest and fastest—selling aircraft, the 737 max, has been grounded worldwide. blame's been placed on a piece of flight control software, known as mcas, that activated at the wrong time and forced both planes into a catastrophic dive. boeing's failures and mr mullenberg's leadership have been angrily condemned in the us congress. those pilots never had a chance. these loved ones never had a chance. they were in flying coffins. senato

i think gardner is in a tough spot. colorado is a state that's been increasingly moving in the blue direction. and again, i think he's the one that's probably going to be under the most pressure. you all remember a clip of him running away from a reporter asking him similar questions. the fact that none of these people have come out and backed the majority leader shows that this is still a live issue. it's not decided. and they are all waiting to see how this plays out over the next couple of weeks. >> all right. abby, i want to switch gears and talk about the down stream effect of this entire uk crisis. it goes to the heart of the gop's identity in some respects. and there was a fascinating article in "the washington post" i want to read and this is p304. for decades, "the washington post" writes, the gop cast itself as the champion of the fbi, cia and pentagon. over the past three years, republicans have repeatedly turned on those agencies when necessary to protect trump's presidency. that really goes at the heart of

cory gardner also in a tough district. so let's listen to what they had to say about this and you guys speak washingtonese. so you'll help us parse this. listen. >> would you be okay with it if it was a democrat asking a foreign government for help to investigate? >> jumped to a very partisan serious use of a tool in the constitution. >> ultimately we may well become a jury. and if that's the case, i think people want to make their own decision and not jump to any conclusions at this early stage. >> okay. do they want witnesses or not? >> it's unclear right now. i would say from those comments gardner might be more likely to stay and toe the -- and stay with the rest of the party than perhaps mitt romney here. it is going to be a question that these republican senators are going to have to answer for -- or going to have to address in the next couple of weeks. i think mcconnell will be able to persuade enough of his members by saying, look, we are doing what the senate did in 1999 which is basically agree on the easy stuff

are corysible pickups gardner, north carolina, thom tillis? guest: georgia. to be fair, there is a possibility texas will enter the conversation. skeptical, but it is possible if you talk to strategists and republicans in texas as whelp there will probably be a day where texas -- as well. there will probably be a day where texas is a competitive state. we have seen a precursor of that from beto o'rourke. an $80 million campaign can do. it willthat extra 2%, it be another $80 million? probably not? -- probably not. votes, which is what beto o'rourke, now that he is not running for senate or president, he is spending his time boosting voter turnout in texas, which could affect the statehouse and the senate and congressional districts there. host: back to calls. peter from florida, independent. caller: thank you for taking my call. you guys are the best. just some observations. i think the democrats in the house have been a complete failure. just want to give you three examples. three weeks ago, the democrats and the cr, the great democrats for freedoms. they ru

frank gardner, bbc news. special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, who spoke to the bbc from france earlier today. the main criticism is that the trial did not focus on the chain of command, it did not focus on the state, and it did not focus on the masterminds. the five people found guilty are, frankly, at the lowest level of the team of 15 people. as far as level of the team of 15 people. as farasi level of the team of 15 people. as faras i am level of the team of 15 people. as far as i am concerned, a trialfor the killing of a journalist that focuses solely on the hit men and ignores the mastermind behind the crime, such a trial is nothing but a travesty of justice. you crime, such a trial is nothing but a travesty ofjustice. you know, there are other mechanisms through which justice and truth can be known. a trial in saudi arabia i think will be an important step. the country, the prosecutor there, has investigated the killing for the last 12 months. they have a great deal more

i'm going to get gardner in our heart further. for. a moment. in the public perception africa is now assuming the position to which it was always entitle you to their views it is. starting to. this is news coming to you live from berlin turkey warns of a new refugee crisis tens of thousands of syrians have fled fresh attacks by russian and syrian government forces in the ad lib region turkey's president says his country will not be able to cope with the influx warning of consequences for europe too also coming up a plea for help.

>> the fact of the matter is politically it might hurt ocory gardner.e who could be hurt by this. frankly, right now, the more serious house, if you will, congress, is the senate. what the president did in foreign policy -- >> i think there's something else too. there's what they'd have to say today and what they'd want history to. >> i think i said democrats controlled the senate. with clinton, the it was republicans but they couldn't get to the super majority. i think the chance of very many republicans turning against trump are very low. even for cory gardner, there's such a risk of, first of all getting a primary opponent. so a susan collins or somebody like that, who might theoretically think about doing that, they're going to have to think twice. and the base and so loyal. it's one thing to make kritism ises of him -- >> here's our reporting, kirsten, that the president has win preparing for this impeep frmt some time now, according to an advisor. he's a little surprised that it's a ukraine thing that's done it. >> makes you think what is it you t

gardner minshew to chris conley, and that took the air right out of the building.n 20-16. >> i like to thank the fans. i'd like to thank the city of oakland for supporters the raiders and being faithful in all kinds of seasons. and i'll miss them. i love them. and i'm sorry about the outcome today. but i think that's something that needs to be said and exclamation pointed. >> tough loss for the raiders. i also talked to legends, a lot more raiders coming up in sports. >> could you feel it there? >> i definitely felt it, all the emotions. anxiety, nervousness, tension, disappointment. it was all there. >> fans from all over the bay area came out for the game at the coliseum today and emotions were running high well before kick off. >> cordell bernard has the story. >> raiders! >> reporter: it may be the last time the raider nation call of the wild will be heard outside the oakland coliseum. the santa rosa family from southern california brought the love. >> it's the last game. we've got to show our support whether they're in vegas, whether they're in knorr cal, soca

up for re-election in 2020 but susan collins, a moderate from maine, is, as are others like cory gardner from colorado and tom tillis from north carolina, all worth watching as they try to balance essentially making the president happy, making their base happy but also trying to get some of those independent voters when they're up for re-election, brianna. >> what happens if they don't reach a deal over the impeachment trial? >> reporter: mitch mcconnell has been very clear. first off he needs nancy pelosi to send him the articles of the impeachment. there are rules established if he and schumer can't come to some kind of agreement. essentially this trial would run six days a week. senators wouldn't be able to talk. there would be very scheduled motions when senators wanted to basically ask for a motion or ask for witnesses, they would have to have the presiding officer, which in this case would be justice roberts deal with that in writing. so that gives you a sense of the established precedent. mcconnell could go to the floor with his own resolution without chuck schumer's support as lo

mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent the gardner substitute amendment at the desk be considered and agreed to, the bill as amended be considered read a third time and passed and the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of s. 3147 introduced earlier today. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: s. 3147, a bill to require the secretary of veterans' affairs to submit to congress reports on patient safety, and so forth and for other purposes. the presiding officer: without objection, the senate will proceed to the measure. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent the bill be considered read a third time and passed and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent that the committee on veterans' affairs be discharged from further consideration of h.r. 2385 and the senate proceed to its immediate cons

he's going to have to check in with susan collins and cory gardner and mitt romney and the five or sixrisk of saying, to phil's point, no, we're not going to turn this into a circus, or in the case of a gardner or collins, this could hurt me. i'm on the ballot this year. >> the president has had luck in the house, he's had almost unanimous support among house members in this impeachment process. it's not clear that the senate is going to follow the president when it comes to sort of pushing some of these conspiracy theories, when it comes to trying to get hunter biden to testify. you have to remember that former vice president joe biden was in the senate for six terms and he does have some relationships there, even though that started to fray a little bit with the loyalties of trump we see from lindsey graham. but the president is not going to have as much support when it comes to pushing the senate to become this sort of reality tv style body where he can sort of do his 2020 campaigning. there is going dobto be a lot o pushback from the senators facing reelection, but also the institu

cory gardner is another one, lisa murkowski, susan collins, i would look at ben sasse.re are a number of republicans that are very conceivably thinking long and hard about their legacies here. probably not enough. >> do you think, joe, mitch mcconnell saying we already know how this end, there's no way he will be removed, lindsey graham saying we know where this end, this is where implanting my flag even though the trial hasn't started and they're supposed to be impartial jurors. >> there's a lot of troubling things going on, mitch mcconnell, a lot of it revolves around him. in 1998, 1999, trent lott and tom daschle went away, worked out a plan to do the trial that we were very angry with in the white house. >> that was the democrats and the republicans. >> and the house managers were upset with them, the white house were upset with them, they did it because they felt the sense of the senate was different, the senate was different than the house, and the senate had this special responsibility. mitch mcconnell is not an institutionalist, as much as he tries to say he is.

susan collins and martha mcsally in nevada and cory gardner in colorado, i think if this looks like as, the president benefits and because he could say that is the swamp and it is bad for the senate. republicans controlled the senate and we didn't have influence and they were concerned that the house looked partisan and trent lott, they didn't want the senate to be dragged down and they had a decorous formal and honorable proceeding in the senate. and i don't know which way they go. but either way mcconnell can't protect the vulnerable senators. i was on the hill last week and saw a bunch of senate democrats, they're not afraid of this. impeachment they were against the party that impeached him and right now it is not hurting democrats from states that trump carried but they are not afraid of trump. >> mitt romney from utah told manu raju that his mind is open about voting potentially to convict. who knows what will ultimately happen. do you think there actually are -- do you believe romney when he said that and do you think that there are republicans that will vote to remove presiden

for someone like cory gardner and susan collins, it's about the upcoming election. for senator murkowski, who knows what the motivation is. it's like herding these cats in all the same direction, and that's why i think he's interested in getting this done quickly with as little drama as possible. >> and some groups want to take advantage of this, a group opposing the president. >> key witnesses in the ukraine scandal must testify in the senate impeachment trial. these witnesses include rudy giuliani, mick mulvaney, mike pompeo and john bolton. call senator romney and tell him these witnesses must testify. >> do you think that will work, margaret? >> romney is a good one. if you're going to make a bet, maybe romney is a good guy to make a bet on. when you're talking about what could be brought into the senate trial, you talk about witnesses and documents as a batch, but they really are two different things, and the documents are much less volatile in terms of what could happen on the stand. they are important, though, because it goes to these questions about executiv

chauncey gardner come a great book by jersey. so maybe we will call him chauncey instead of clueless j joe. dan, the media though loves to cover up for the guy, right? jake the fake notwithstanding. i mean, the media once joe did a flip-flop spun it like, oh, it is just a clarification, which is what biden tried to sell it. if anybody else did it. if trump did a complete backflip, the media would have rampant, they follow him around with a hooper's cooper, cleaning up after clueless joe chauncey all the time, don't they? >> it is really pathetic and it's not surprising to anyone that listened to the channel of the big three cable news television networks that do news. those are basically conspiracy blogs on tv, those other channels. full-time liberal activists and again, none of this is a surprise. but i think another problem he will have, gregg come on this whole segment here, he is supposed to be the safe pick. remember three campaigns, the establishment pick you have the outside pick and then the liberal conservative pick depe

you mentioned cory gardner, susan collins, david purdue in georgia. the question is, do they get any blow back? there is zero expectation and no one should try to set the idea that it's possible the president will be convicted and removed. even if all 47 democrats voted to do that, but even if all 47, you need 20. that's not going to happen. the question is are there enough to side with democrats to get some witnesses, some other procedural or rules, just some poke at the president and the republicans? >> there aren't those votes right now, even though the public sentiment does seem to be in favor of allowing those witnesses to testify. in our washington post abc news polling that came out earlier, show that 71% of americans do want these administration officials who did defy calls for testimony at the house to appear before the senate. now in the next couple of weeks we're in the holidays and there's not going to be a lot of public pressure on the senators when people are enjoying time at home with their families. perhaps sometime throughout the tria

gardner minshew to chris conley cut the deficit 16-13. under two seconds to go. the 45-yard attempt missed. he actually missed twice in a bizarre sequence. gruden could only shake his head and watch the defense allow another late jacksonville touchdown. minshew to conley, 20-16 lead. everybody was stunned. oakland's only option of a hail mary into the end zone on their final possession, but it's batted down and the jaguars come back to win 20-16 after raiders fail to score in the second half. >> we apologize we weren't able to deliver a victory. proud of our team's hustle and effort. we had numerous opportunities to make a play there in the ballgame, but we didn't do it. >> some of these people will never be to another game again, you know. it's the last time they'll ever go and we feel for them. it's weird that you won't call them the oakland raiders. that's crazy, right? >> reporter: perhaps there would be better news in santa clara where the 49ers could clinch a playoff berth for the first time in six years with a win today over the falcons. kyle shanahan coul

without casting a vote, you've got collins, mcsally, gardner, they've got a problem there.e are going to judge the totality of this. if he runs a circus or a sham, people in november are going to say to mcsally and gardner, you're part of that. you didn't hold him accountable. >> that is right. >> okay. all right, guys, i'm going to let you guys agree on that point. thank you. good to see you all. happy holidays. thank you so much. >> happy holidays. >>> coming up next, trouble on the tracks. frightening moments when a train goes off the trails. >>> and a bit later, the reason trump's legal team says he may not have been impeached? really? so what were we watching? n impe? really so what were we watching -well, audrey's expecting... -twins! grandparents! we want to put money aside for them, so...change in plans. alright, let's see what we can adjust. ♪ we'd be closer to the twins. change in plans. okay. mom, are you painting again? you could sell these. lemme guess, change in plans? at fidelity, a change in plans is always part of the plan. cologuard: colon cancer and older

. >> there's been so much talk about senator murkowski, mitt romney, even cory gardner, when we talk about who could side potentially with the democrats when seeking more witness testimony or even going against him at the end of the trial. what about retiring senators like lamar alexander who have been supported by mcconnell through the decades but also have more freedom to vote their consciouses in this process? what are you watching among the republicans who would consider bailing on their party? >> i'm watching lisa murkowski very closely. she may be the first person kind of out there, testing the waters to see if there's room for other republicans to join her. i think we really need to look at that angle. and yes, i think there's a cory gardner, susan collins, i think thom tillis, all of those senators you've mentioned, there's a chance that they will. but they won't go against the president. i think what they will do is hope to bring in some people to testify. i think that's really the angle that we're going with. >> so they can make the argument this was indeed a fair process.

you have susan come links and troy gardner -- collins and troy gardner in swing states. swing state republicans running for re-election. cheryl: lisa murkowski said she found it disturbing that mitch mcconnell would work with the white house. that's true. adam, let's move on to the issue of other candidates. we're about a month away from iowa. there's fund raising problems for elizabeth warren. she raised $17 million in the fourth quarter. that's only a third of what -- the fourth quarter. that's a third of what she pulled in in the third quarter. now she's looking for smaller donations. is she still do you think a threat to the republicans? >> absolutely. a absolutely. she may have peaked too early. she was just on a tear there for a little while. but remember, iowa is a very close -- it's a very grass roots election in these caucuses so i could easily hold her on if not even win iowa. even if she doesn't win and she has a good strong showing, just remember, the rules changed a little bit in the democratic primary. you start with iowa but just about a month later you ha

susan collins, cory gardner. the president's equities are they wants to do a vindication tour.to go around like he did after the election 2016 and say, see, i was right. i'm exonerated. and pelosi has figured out a way to drive that wedge. just as importantly keep the issue of these live witnesses alive as long as she can. that is a very popular idea. >> why? how popular? >> 71% of americans -- 65% of republicans in this country want to see john bolton and mick mulvaney testify. >> if that's the discussion, that is a winning issue for democrats even if the process might seem unseemly to them. and you have to take in account that until you consider that the president is arguing for a trial now, until you understand that he is putting pressure on mitch mcconnell, i don't think you fully understand what nancy pelosi gets out of it. >> and he's dug his heels in. and who knows what will happen over the next two weeks. maybe the president will finally be convinced he should listen to mitch mcconnell and this will work out sooner rather than later for him. but for now, you're right. h

as long as he's able to keep people like susan collins, cory gardner, martha mcsally in arizona in check, i think he's okay. he has the process arguments in history on his side. all that mitch mcconnell was asking for is the same order of operations in process that 100 senators voted for 21 years ago, that is, allow the house to come over and make its arguments, hear from the managers and then later decide about witnesses. he's not ruling out witnesses entirely. he's saying let's get to those later. i think he has all the ground to stand on. as long as he continues to have what i think is a relatively reasonable position, he'll be able to keep those people in check. it's interesting to see what murkowski says going forward when she gets back. sometimes senators say things differently at home than when they're back in washington. >> that's a tendency, despite her history of having an independent voice. senator murkowski is still t toeing the party line. >> speaker pelosi was very clear, very direct, that her goal was to get this done before christmas. speaker pelosi made clear she wanted

there are in fact republican moderates like lisa murkowski, susan collins, maybe mitt romney, cory gardner others, who are thinking at least the senate trial needs to look fair so it doesn't come back to bite republicans. some republicans think this is still damaging to republicans amongst moderate voters. >> mitch mcconnell knows his most endangered senators are ones running essentially in purple states. they are going to need the votes of moderates and maybe even some democrats for people like susan collins and martha mcsally and potentially cory gardner in colorado to survive. so yes, they do need this process to be seen as fair. again, i think the pressure, though, is for it to also be expeditious. we're now 37 days away from the iowa caucuses. and there will be something like five democratic senators who are also presidential candidates who do not want to be sitting there six days a week, silent, in a senate impeachment trial. >> anne, let's talk a little bit about the speculation surrounding mike pompeo who wants to run for a senate seat from his home state of california. there are r

cory gardner is in a state that's not just turning purple. it's turning dark blue.is survival may depend on this. 63%, 64% of the vote is going to come out of boulder and denver. >> yeah. >> it's not red hat country. he's got a political existential crisis on his hands. martha mcsally, do you want to keep that seat? that's not a state that's deep red anymore either. so the political cost of supporting trump is something they are weighing against their terror they feel about him being angry at them or tweeting at them. but as we've seen over and over again, they're much more comfortable being in the tall grass scared to death than they are standing up for what's right. >> final question is about the six-page screed that we got from the president today. you're a student of history as well. i can't drop the thought that that was written in the same structure where fdr wrote in the word "infamy" in pencil. >> sure. this is -- you know, there is a great rhetorical tradition in this country with presidents. the work of presidential speech writing and communication is some
