[applause] you know, i will never forget the pounding of the doors on the house chamber on january 6, or the screams that followed. hundreds of our police officers taunted and attacked. 140 of them wounded by extremists wielding baseball bats, steel pipes, even american flags. five people died that day and

congressman jamie raskin, appreciate your time.olicy is considered one of the biggest political challenges for the democratic party and kamala harris. a recent poll from cbs found 48% of likely voters believe the u.s. southern border crossing will go up if miss harris wins the election. 72% believe they will go down under donald trump. the former president and his republican allies have made immigration a focal point of their criticisms of kamala harris, calling her a failed border czar. former president trump leaned into the narrative while campaigning in the battleground and border state of arizona today. mr. trump: we had a border czar, she loved the title, but she did not want to do the work because she's lazy and, more importantly, she wants to have an open border. you say, who would want an open border where criminals can pour into our country? all you have to do is walk up there if you have the courage to do it and go to that open section, stand there for a little while, you will be running back here quickly. we went for the

[cheers and applause] >> jamie raskin. let's give him another round. [applause] >> before i introduce our next speaker, i want to share that tonight the country will hear from the woman that in wisconsin we've been so proud to vote for and support as our senator for the last 12 years and at least six more, tammy baldwin will be speaker at tonight's convention. so i want to ask everyone, vote for your state so you can hear her, for your state so you can find seats and show the country what it sounds like when we cheer for our one great senator. make sure you're in your seat at 6:00 tonight, fired up, ready to go. get a cough drop if you need it, maybe a couple, and be ready to cheer your heart out for tammy baldwin tonight in the 6:00 hour. and now i'm ready to introduce our next speaker. and i want to say something. because republicans have been perpetuating a lie for a lot of years now. republicans want people to think that democrats do not understand rural. they want people to think the democrats don't care about rural people and rural counties. they

take a listen i can't help but laugh at what jamie raskin said. >> these are people who somehow alwaysake themselves the victims. i have no reservations about taking this job because i no, that if we make donald j. trump, president united states, he's going to deliver rising wages, lower prices, and a secure border that is all worth it for me, whatever the media or jamie raskin says about me so, john and sara this is kind of the line we've been hearing from vance and he's kind of mirroring as well what donald trump has said, which is that they're not talking about the border, they're not talking about the issues as much as they should be. >> instead, they're focusing on going after donald trump. i think you're going to hear a lot of those same attacks today when both of them are at the border trump is an arizona, of course, but vance as well will be at the border in georgia trump is in arizona, as you say, robert kennedy jr. is going to be in arizona today in a speech for everyone's expecting him to, i guess endorsed donald trump right so we did, hear what we know that he's going to be

jamie raskin is on the floor. he said, welcome to the future of democracy convention. let's just dip in for a moment, hear what she's saying. >> -- raised by this sore loser who does not know how to take no for an answer from american voters, american courts, or american women. remember what the mob chanted as they stormed the capitol and injured our officers? hang mike pence. someone should have told donald trump that the president's job under article ii of constitution -- someone should have told donald trump that the president's job under article ii of the constitution is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not that the vice president is executed. pence has now joined more than two dozen officials from donald trump's own administration in denouncing him, an historical record. and pence is the first vice president in more than two centuries not to support the president he served with in a general election. and by the way, j.d. va you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the they -- they tried to kill your predecessor. they

congressman jamie raskin, democrat of maryland, joins me now. i guess at one level vought is correct. you can do a lot of googling to connect the fact that all of these people work for project 2025. he is giving them his blessing. this is a game plan crafted with his presidency in mind. >> the last thing they want the election to be about is the issues because commanding majorities of americans support the democratic position on everything from abortion and contraception and ivf to universal violent criminal background checks for gun purchases to assault weapons to healthcare, you name it. and project 2025 makes the mistake of telling the truth about what they want to do. they want to abolish the department of education. they want to convert the department of justice into an institute of political persecution under the president. so his friends are left alone in all cases and the political adversaries as he sees them are investigated and prosecuted. they are telling us what they want to do. the funny thing is when trump says i don't know the fir

congressman jamie raskin of maryland. thanks so much for your time. your thoughts this evening you bet. just ahead. a lawsuit over new election rules in georgia. why democrats are suing ahead of november's presidential election? explain this growing controversy that's next you're still gonna win class president would be slogan, wow, working on campaign posts stars yet, well, in my experience, the best campaign slogans or short and memorable like, well that's definitely memorable when the saw dust settles and the engine roars, the thing you care about is a job well done. >> but when you get your tools from harbor great something about the job feels different. >> your wallet, whatever you do, do it for less at harbor freight association locked this is why we walked there, why we want we walk in the alzheimer's association, walked, went all timers because we're getting closer to beating this disease deodorant but not as you know it for thighs, bolts bits and bits 72 hour odor control full of skin loving ingredients, less it's dermatologist and gynecologi

good to the capital, to the my source tonight is democratic congressman jamie raskin, who served on the january 6 select committee great to have you on congressman so republicans are now using this footage that was released or republican led committee to blame former speaker pelosi for the attack pointing to moments like this we have a responsibility terri we did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have this is ridiculous. >> why weren't the national guard there to begin with they thought that they had sufficient not a question they don't know they clearly didn't know. >> and i take responsibility for not having them just prepare because it's duplet should be in a situation because they thought they had what they thought these people would act civilized these, not these people gave us damn now i should note the speaker of the house is not responsible for capitol securities. >> she also complained the national guard wasn't there sooner, undercutting this idea that she blocked them. >> but i'm do you see how or do you agree that this gives her critics on

jamie raskin will be at the podium tonight and jimmy crockett as well. kentucky's governor andy beshear will also get a speaking slot along with georgia senator rafael and delaware senator chris coons -- raphael warnock and delaware senator chris coons. there will also be some hollywood stars on the stage tonight. kerry washington, mindy kaling and more will serve as hosts of the dnc along with tony goldwyn who played the president on the abc drama, scandal. they will all be on the stage tonight as well. let's go back down to the convention floor with susan swain. host: thanks greta. it is getting busy down here. i wanted to show you which states have the primary seats tonight. right over my shoulder, getting prime attention tonight, the delegation from pennsylvania, not surprising, a bit of a amash to -- bit of a homage to president biden's home of scranton, pennsylvania. if we come down here, delaware, and this is a homage, because it only brings three electoral votes to the ticket, is also right behind, and this is an homage to joe biden tonight, as h

it's other piece with jamie raskin's declaration that congress would stop trump if he won the novemberction they'd refuse to certify on january 6, 2025. they are unscrupulous and interested in power for power's sake and talk about democracy ad nauseam and one of joe biden's favorite talking points and also is team walz and kamala harris'. every single deed they commit is the opposite of that, it looks to me like some trying to make sure he never becomes president if they can do it. stuart: will be a remarkable election and i'm here to cover it. thank you, miranda devine. see you soon. back to the markets and that's a pretty good rally and dow up 300 and nasdaq up 350. that's a rally and a half. jonathan hoenig is joining me this morning. is it time to buy back to big tech? >> buying the dip, stuart, it's a loser's game i'm telling you. look at stock like smci. the stock is down 50% since march. it needs 100% gain to get back to even. buying the d d dips is like nucr war what malt ewe broderick was advised in war games but it's a loser's game and don't play. the areas of the market work

and the us media is already quoting congressman jamie raskin, who said that donald trump, if he wins the election, will try to end the conflict in ukraine, including by making concessions to russia. trump himself has not yet commented on this. about the actual ban on the ukrainian orthodox church adopted by the verkhovna rada is a political declaration that has its own the goal of legalizing the destruction of the majority religious community, this is stated in the statement of the holy synod of the russian orthodox church. about the religious war, the march on the crosses. details in the author's column, the table of meddeleva. the absence of freedom of religion, persecution of orthodoxy and the repressive apparatus, what can the desire to disown history imposed from the outside turn into? let's consider all the political elements and put them in their place, this is the mendeleva table, let's figure it out together: a religious war, 6 million orthodox ukrainians found themselves outside the law, believers uoc. a whole gang beat up a priest, they tore off the locks and broke into a

then congressman jamie raskin took the mic and gave a little chicago history lesson. >> we meet in thisoln was nominated in 1860 to save the union. and where franklin d. roosevelt was renominated by democrats in 1940. >> stephen: "and let's just skip over 1968." who remembers... who was doing what. we also heard from texas congresswoman jasmine crockett... [cheers and applause] who listed some of trump's stats. >> with 34 felonies, 2 impeachments, and 1 porn star to prove it! >> stephen: that sounds like the saddest christmas carol ever. ♪ 34 felonies, 2 impeachments, and a porn star got him horny ♪ [cheers and applause] crockett. crockett. crockett told a great story about going to the vice president's residence in distress and feeling seen. >> the most powerful woman in the world wiped my tears and listened. >> stephen: beyonce was there? after that, senator raphael warnock gave one of the greatest speeches i've ever heard. he burned that house to the ground, going biblical on trump. >> i saw him holding the bible. and endorsing a bible as if it needed his endorsement. he should try r

democratic party like former secretary of state hillary clinton, congressman jim clyburn, congressman jamie raskin, and governor andy bashir of kentucky. and there were also nonpublic officials like uaw president shawn fain and nba coach steve kur along with several abortion rights activists. and vice president kamala harris made a surprise appearance last night, an unconventional hufb for a nominee on the first night of the convention. she walked to thunderous applause from the audience. harris only spoke for about 2 minutes but focused her remarks on honoring president biden and expressing her gratitude. >> this is going to be a great week, and i want to kick osoff by celebrating our incredible president, joe biden. joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do. we are forever grateful to you. >> and president joe biden took the stage at the end of the night to closeout the first evening of the convention. biden spoke for nearly an hour, listing off the accomplishments of his administration, criticizing former preside

jamie raskin side plan see in the works for months. listen to this. >> they want to kick it to congress so it will be up to us on january 6th, 2025 to tell the rampaging trump mobs he's disqualified and then we need bodyguards for everybody in civil war conditions. >> disqualify him. that's what democrats are going to do if trump wins. if the democrats have a house in the senate they will vote to disqualify him before he's inaugurated. on the grounds he's an insurrectionist was constitutionally prohibited under the 14th amendment from serving. even if he was never charged or convicted of insurrection. preemptive coup, not a silent coup. this time they are admitting. former senior advisor and director of speechwriting the president trump stephen miller is here on friday night. before we get to the preemptive coup if kamala is doing so well wise everybody freaking out? >> first of all let's talk about was really important which is that the democratic party has finally found a truly authentic midwestern dad to run on a presidential ticket

add one more thing, it's not too long ago where elizabeth warren, where jamie raskin and nancy pelosi in their own way were trying to get her off the ticket because she was such an ineffective, incapable vice president. >> ainsley: did you he all the hear soundbite of her saying snatch the patent away from drug companies? >> steve: i heard that soundbite. on sean's show last night, ultimately, as his work here in the united states for a very long time effectively the free market determines the price. and that's the way it should be. but they have got do something about inflation and we just detailed where the inflation came from. >> brian: you are saying you are not a communist. >> steve: not currently. >> brian: you are not a communist. >> steve: up mani am not a slowt but i am on social media. >> ainsley: crews are search for two missing people swept away by flood ghawrts connecticut as flash flooding washes out roads across the state. >> steve: look at that right there. fox weather meteorologist steven morgan joins us from the town of danbury where it the looks like the flooding is

that's what makes us the democracy. >> congressman jamie raskin, it is so great to see you. icket at the deli counter to speak to congressman raskin. nicolle, back to you. >> jacob, i have a question for you. tell me what it feels like. how does chicago feel? what are you seeing on the ground? and what is the energy like there? >> you know, nicolle, it was such a somber obviously beginning to the last convention in the wake of the horrific assassination attempt on former president trump. and it feels entirely different here. i was in aliquippa, pennsylvania. pennsylvania delegation. and you know, you know what the campaigns think, by the way, about these states based on where they put the delegations. i already showed you california. let me show you where pennsylvania is over here. come right this way. i told you everybody wants to talk to congressman raskin. take a look. pennsylvania's over here. delaware's over there. there's a sense of excitement. and in aliquippa where i was and actually where vice president harris and governor walz were over the weekend people were talki

. >> joining our conversation democratic congressman jamie raskin of maryland, he was a member of thet that day, about your work on the committee. that's footage that we haven't, i haven't seen, most people have not seen before. it's such a reminder of the many layers of things happening on that day, but what is your reaction to seeing that? >> well, we all swore an oath to protect and defend and support the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and that thought was on the minds of everybody at that point, that there was a domestic enemy within the white house who had incited an armed insurrection against the constitution and against the union. the house proceeded to impeach donald trump on those charges, and then there was a 57-43 vote to convict him in the senate, which fell short of the two-thirds requirement, but you did have commanding large majorities on a basis defining that donald trump had engaged in this ultimate high crime and misdemeanor of inciting insurrection against our own government. you know, those scenes are disturbing to watch because i remember j

that is all worth it for me whatever the media or jamie raskin says about me. >> i want to play somef what governor walz said from his acceptance speech and get your reaction. >> it is an agenda that serves nobody except the richest and most extreme amongst us and it is an agenda that does nothing for our neighbors in need. is it weird? absolutely. but it is also wrong and dangerous . >> your reaction to that? >> when donald trump was president, jake, you had people getting homes at record rates and young americans who could afford to raise a family and those who could afford the basic trappings of middle-class life in this country. winter malls said that donald trump's agenda doesn't work for middle-class americans, he was already president for four years and his agenda worked well for middle-class americans. and i would love for tim walz or kamala harris or anybody else to say that during the three and half years that kamala harris was vice president, here is the thing that she did to make groceries more affordable for the thing she did make it possible to help families or the thin

former vice president, mike pence, i want you to listen to this sound from maryland congressman jamie raskinrunning mate, j.d. vance. >> do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the gop ticket? they tried to kill your predecessor. they tried to kill him because he would not follow trump's plan to destroy and nullify the votes of millions of americans. >> marc, your reaction to that. >> well, look, i'll always be proud of vice president pence's stance on january 6th. i think he stood for the constitution, as he should have. and i think the reality is that more republicans should have acknowledged the danger that we faced on january 6th. it's of course going to be used by democrats for political purposes. but too many i think republicans have embraced the notion that january 6th was simply a hoax when in fact it wasn't. >> we expect to hear from some republicans at the dnc. former congressman adam kinzinger. also stephanie grisham, who served in the trump white house as a press secretary, as communications director. are we going to hear from mike pence do you th

so i am really happy to see the oversight committee, jamie raskin and others, i would like to see thee, our social committees step into this. this is a very serious breach of our most hallowed ground. >> i wonder if speaker mike johnson even wants that information out, because it is my understanding that mike johnson had something to do for this. so, trump spokesperson stephen chung accuse the arlington staffer who is physically assaulted as, quote, suffering from a mental health episode. while trump campaign manager tweets, quote, reposting this hoping to trigger the hacks at the army. i mean, fred, the fish rots from the head down. governor spencer cox issued an apology, because his campaign released an apology that was taken when spencer cox was at arlington with trump, and yet we have not heard an apology from trump. we haven't heard anything from the campaign that would indicate any mea culpa for doing anything wrong. >> and you never will. that is not what they do. it is attack, attack, attack. we know that. is the republican playbook. i used to work with some of them. they are

cosponsoring eight other bills in the house with other leaders on judicial reform including folks like jamie raskinted to its core and become captured by these special interests, these mega-donors and these organizations that are bringing activist cases in front of the court, which is trying to rewrite the american constitution. so, we need all of these reforms. it's not one or the other, it's all of the above. >> i want to ask you quickly, this is all taking place in the context of the campaign and specifically today, vice president kamala harris is meeting with a number of potential running mates at her residence, do you have someone on that reported short list who you think she should pick or who you favor? >> there's a lot of democratic talent out there, the bench is deep. and i think all of the finalists that she's interviewing and talking to are extremely talented, they're battleground tested, we've got numerous veterans, we have a former astronaut, these are the best of the best. so whoever she chooses is going to be a fantastic running mate, and i think we're all waiting to hear who it is.

now, the top democrat on the oversight committee jamie raskin says the report is full of, quote: patheticnnuendo. one democrat tells fox that republicans hope to close the biden investigation now so they can turn to vice president harris and governor tim walz. republicans are weary of spending more time on the president. now, a senior g.o.p. source says they lack the votes to impeach, plus they want to guard vulnerable republicans from facing a tough vote. hardliners could still compel an impeachment vote. bret? >> bret: but, bottom line, it's not going anywhere? >> not so far. >> bret: okay, chad pergram on the hill, chad, thanks. >> great honor and humility, i accept this nomination for president of the united states of america. >> we have a chance to change the course of history. we're all in this fight. you, me, and joe. together,. >> bret: much different convention back in 2020. let's talk about what we can expect tonight from president biden and the rest of the week here in chicago. cedric richmond is co-chair of the harris-walz campaign. senator, thanks for being here. >> thanks fo

so jamie raskin said the same thing. couldn't even endorse her.ndrea mitchell basically came out there, who is an icon on the mostly cloudy skies platform, so this is -- we know -- we know that joe biden is failing and you won't admit it. that's why you kicked him out. we know you were not for kamala harris two weeks ago -- three weeks ago and you won't admit it. trump also says something else. he also says do you realize you actually have the job now? >> well, the biggest reaction is why didn't she do the things that she is complaining about. all of these things that she talked about, we're going to do, this we are going to do that. we are going to do everything, but she didn't do any of it. she could have done it three and a half years ago. she could do it tonight by leaving the auditorium and going to washington, d.c. and closing the before the. >> will: i want to address a couple things you said, lawrence. i think i humbly disagree with a couple of things you said this morning. first, i would say this, yes, it is going to take donald trump on

house democrats lick jim clyburn, alexandria conseil cortez, and jamie raskin.o be hearing from first lady jill biden, hillary clinton, and of course the big keynote address is coming from president joe biden himself. he will be introduced by his daughter ashely. this is a marking of his legacy. very different from what the president initially expected but tonight is going to be honoring his legacy and also a passing of the torch from him to kamala harris. geoff: laura, thanks as always. amna: long before chris coons became a senator from the state of delaware, he was a capitol hill intern for then senator joe biden. we spoke about their decades long friendship, the president's speech tonight, and more when we sat down earlier today. senator, welcome back to the news hour and thanks for being here. let's talk about your friend in this moment. because for someone who has spent 50 years of his life in public service it is fair to say this is a complicated moment. sen. coons: yes. amna: when you talk to him, how is he viewing this moment right now? sen. coons: he i

jamie raskin basically said that on cnn and so did former speaker nancy pelosi. at least acknowledge that you said it, that these headlines are not are from the archives. i have to go to the microfilms. i would have to go to a library. all you had to do was google her. these are the headlines that interest r. there. why are we pretending that they are not there? >> lawrence: ainsley, she doesn't have a campaign theme. there is no theme. at least obama had changes you could believe. in bill clinton had his thing. george w. bush compassionate conservatism. they had something. that's there is not even a thing. interest is not even a video why am i running? every candidate why am i running? i want to do this change this. there is nothing but there is a movement? >> ainsley: what she is telling the voter is i don't need to have a theme. i don't need to have issues. i don't need to tell you how i'm voting. people, i'm getting the crowds. people like me. and i am -- they are just so grateful that joe biden is not running. >> steve: that's right. >> ainsley: they are goi

they say, i don't agree with the the the count but we had a really a beautiful actually led by jamie raskin another marilyn. but let me just digress for a moment jamie was we we had group that prepared all the states you know what they are nevada arizona, georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. they were the states they were going to challenge. and so we prepared people in, each of those states, to make their presentation based on the fact, the numbers and the law and most of the the most of it was from republican officials in those states. so as a republican officials that they quoted and the rest that they were quoting in the rest. and so anyway in the meantime so said to them the people that we were, you know, doing sweat were whatever our approach is, we are not mentioning his name. we're mentioning this the numbers and the law and in the meantime, jamie wrote the this is in his book jamie the narrative of what was happening that and he said i'm not that inspirational or factual but not as inspirational i'll go ask my son tommy to make this warmer. and when he went to find his son t

who's who within the democratic party like hillary clinton, congressman jim clyburn, congressman jamie raskin governor andy beshear of kentucky. there were also nonpublic officials like uaw president sean payne, nba coach steve kerr, and several abortion rights activists. good morning and welcome to "morning joe." >> well, it is quite a night, huh? >> it was. it went late though. it went too late. >> willie, a little late? >> i think the president just stopped speaking a few minutes ago. >> a little late. >> not his fault. just ran a little late with the program. >> it was fabulous. >> it was a good night. >> i mean they started the president's speech literally at the same time they start "saturday night live." >> on the back page of the paper. >> i'm serious. >> that's true, 11:30. >> i got to see it the next morning on hulu or something like that, but a great night. >> it was. >> wonderful. along with joe, willie and me, it is great for us to be together. unusual. the host of the podcast with donny deutsch. >> in the house. >> look at this. >> i know. >> not regretting it yet. >> political

adam schiff, jamie raskin, zoe lofgren with statements saying that they respectfully, i thought it was time for the president to step aside i've had people say to me and i just as a longtime observer of you, sought thought, oh, wow, those are all pelosi allies. who had nothing to do with that. >> i have hundreds of allies in the congress of the united states. >> oh, i know. but they're among know, i had nothing to to do with that if you ask them, is almost insulting to them because they are formidable figures in the congress of the united states, they make their own judgment and their own studies spoke to in to president biden since he dropped out. no, i have not. >> do you hope to yes. >> when i hope to yeah. brawl visit is everything okay with your relationship you'd have to ask him, but i hope but he knows look, i have loved joe biden respected him for over 40 years. >> we have i was party chair in california and then i became a member of congress and then one thing i'll do house white house member, house speaker, working with him all along. i think he has made one of the biggest co

stand up for democracy it was powerful, it will resonate, but i will say this i was struck by jamie raskin speech, i think very highly of the congressman. i was not in the room. it didn't seem all that well-received and i'm not i don't want to make too much of an assumption, but i think that voters, i'm someone who cares about january 6, they wanted to hang my former boss that day, but i think voters have found the democracy the message to just not be as strong as some of the kitchen table issues biden did address both of those, but that is something that i think kamala harris has actually done much better than him, is sure we want to protect democracy. but here's the issues that everyday are impacting voters. >> alyssa farah griffin, paul begala, great to see both you come back here all week as they say so, gov up for us. well, democrats are celebrating kamala harris inside the united center, chicago's protesters outside the convention center are demanding demanding, their voices be heard and demanding an end to the war in gaza. president biden's message last night to the thousands of peo

. >> i forget jamie raskin who actually said he's going to use the next january 6 to start a civil war. if trump wins disqualify him on january 6, and the halls of congress in 2025, the democrats have objected to every election they have lost since 1988 to 1988, 2000, 2004, 2004, 2016 so why don't we stop talking about the problem and actually trying to start which is literally increasing election integrity. so no one has to question. >> let's just, let's just take a step back. take a breath and really reflect on what actually is true. the fact is that on many, many occasions the president has said that he thought there would be violence if the, if the election went the wrong way and he has laid. the predicate that this was going to be if he lost that, he only believes there are two results he wins, or the election was stolen. there's no third option, and he has suggested that he thought there would be a violent reaction to that. so i agree with you. i think that quote was taken out of context. i agree with you on that, but there are many other quotes that weren't taken out of context.

alexandra castillo, cortez from the progressive branch of the party, that we have somebody like jamie raskin from the more moderate parts of the party. so already the democratic party and the whole, the noises of this convention all hitting its head on the online progressives moderates to speak. but the task off a come with a high risk is to use all these disparate elements together and to provide a united front as a party moves into the november election. okay, mike, kind of that for us in chicago. let's go to gabriel. alexander has promised he's outside the convention. web purchase are taking place. what's going on where you want cable yeah, that's right. we're just a little over a kilometer away from where mike is that in the united center where the convention is taking place outside here, i can tell you the protests are in full swing. thousands of protesters have gathered here at this part. they've come from all across the united states to be here on what we expect to be several days in a row of protest. people calling for an end to the genocide and gaza, among other things. let's talk t

there was only one article my colleagues david cisolini and ted lou and jamie raskin did that but the position that i was in was that i had served in our state legislature and when the speaker asked me what committees i might be interested in serving on i listed the rules committee. not knowing that um once january 6th happened the rules committee had to be quickly constituted and there was one democratic spot open which had been donna shalayla's and i was the only one who expressed interest. and so the speaker's office called me and asked me if i would take that position. um, i agreed we had a zoom caucus i was i was put into my position and with one within one hour jim mcgovern the chair of the rules committee said welcome to the rules committee. you must be here tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. we're going to impeach the president. and so my very first committee meeting in congress was to approve the article of impeachment my very first speech on the house floor was to recommend impeachment and to justify that by saying that donald trump was unrepentant. and he continues to be unrepenta
