joining me now is democratic congressman john garamendi. of the house committee leading the delegation to ukraine. you have a range of issues that you would be discussing anyway with political and military leaders in ukraine. however, my question to you now is this. will you be raising the matters that have been discussed over the last 48 hours or so? and if so, how? >> well, tomorrow morning we will be in ukraine. we'll be meeting with top ukrainian military leaders a then american team there to assist the ukrainian military. the principal question is, the president has delayed for days aid for equipment, guns, 50 caliber machine guns and ammunition. on and on. will that be -- is that a problem? and if so, what does it mean to you? there is a hot war going on right now in ukraine against russia. and what are the implications of that later in the week we hope to meet with the political leaders. given all of the disruption, it remains to be seen how that goes. that would be meeting with the defense minister and others in kiev. we'll see what

others like california congressman john garamendi held out. hold out on impeachment until the hearing was done. today, garamendi claimed the president's own words and the transcript with his ukrainian counterpart amount to a quid pro quo. congressman matt gaetz is standing by, has a lot to say what about that one. but first, congressman garamendi joined me. the president, as you know, in the call, said i would like to u to investigate corruption paired what's wrong with that? >> the rest of that sentence, he used the word "though," and we go from there. >> ed: how does that prove quid pro quo? >a quid pro quo would be you investigate corruption and then i will do something else. in fact, aid to ukraine was never even raised. >> in fact, it was. in fact, the issue of aid to ukraine has been known for a long time, between the two participants in that discussion. and it was understood that, at that moment, the "though" part was that the president wanted to have an investigation. that's not why we are going to ukraine, this trip was planned four m

democratic congressman john garamendi is joining us. congressman, what do you hope to accomplish with this new phase of oversight? >> well, we simply have to do our job. there is absolutely no doubt that this administration's totally out of control. there is no doubt about the corruption in the administration. there's no doubt that the president has enriched himself at his various properties around the world to his own benefit, but not necessarily to the benefit of the taxpayers. all of that requires investigation. and did i mention the mueller report? that is still out there. we need the detail. we need the facts that were the foundation of the mueller report. we need to proceed with the inquiry, the impeachment inquiry. it may very well, yes or no, lead to an impeachment. but this is our job. this is required by our constitution, and it is required that we carry it out. >> president trump, he certainly appears to be distracted by his flub over the path of hurricane dorian. but this storm could have hit american citizens much harder th

joining me is congressman john garamendi. what are you hearing? >> there will be a resolution from the house, and gather up the information on,out there. the mueller report, the yukrai e ukrainian issue, the issue of stonewalling. we need to get about it. we need to be formal. we need to empower ourselves with the resolution. go to the floor this evening and get on with it. you think that will be decided to this afternoon? >> it should be. we're past the point of dilly dallying. we're passing the point of maybe yes, maybe no. we're clearly at that point where we must proceed with a formal process that may lead to impeachment. we'll see what happens on the last step. we got to get this under way in a formal way. we have to empower the chairman and set the stage and get on with our work. >> if nancy pelosi is hesitant, resistant to that this evening, what will you say? >> i will say that she has more than enough votes. she will have a clear -- not a majority, but perhaps the entire caucus saying, we have to proceed. this is our responsibility. this

still with me, john garamendi, congressman, staying with me. thank you, sir, for that. me add to that. we also know just from the in the "new york times" today the cia director at the time john brennan thought the information was so sensitive he sent it to then president obama in a separate special sealed envelope. kept it out of obama's daily intel briefing but flash forward to president trump. doubting these sources, saying essentially my relationship with foreign leaders is far more important. congressman what do you think trump's motivation is for not trusting human sources? >> we can only imagine what's in this man's mind, but what we cannot imagine is him continuing to be president. this is downright a serious national security issue. we've known from the very get-go trump had no use for the intelligence systems of the united states. he said so right there standing next to putin in helsinki. the fact of the matter is, trump always believed in his gut, which happens to be getting big around bigger but less and less useful. the fact of the ma ttter is tru as a presid

i yield three minutes to representative john garamendi, chair of the subcommittee on readiness of the armed services committee, and a highly valued member of this house. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. garamendi: madam speaker, and madam speaker, maxine waters, thank you so very much for the opportunity to speak on this bill. i'm very pleased that the house is taking up the merchant mariners of world war ii congressional gold medal act, h.r. 550. i'm proud to have worked on this bipartisan legislation with my original co-sponsors, representative don young of alaska and representative susan brooks, who i see is joining us here on the floor, finally getting this bill to the floor this session. is is this session. this is not the first session. five years of work have brought to us this point. three congresses. mrs. brooks last year carried this and we got it out of this house. and then the senate. my hope is that the senate will finally send this bill to the president's desk so it can be signed into law. our bill would award the congressional gold medal to our

and with that, from california part of the show, house armed services committee democrat john garamendi appreciate it. before you head back to town, the essential question from the top of the show, would you have been more surprised waking up this morning to news that the peace talks were canceled or more surprised to news that members of the taliban were hanging out at camp david? >> the latter. the peace talks have always been tenuous. the afghan government was on the outside probably not aware of what was going on. that's a very, very real problem that would cause the peace talks to at least be delayed, if not fail. but at camp david? taliban? in the week of 9/11? i don't think so. leland: there is the optics of this. i didn't remember you being super critical of president obama talking to iranians, a group that also has a significant amount of american blood on their hands, the blood of american soldiers on their hands. so is your issue specifically that they were coming to camp david or the idea that there was a deal? what's the problem? >> combination of both of those. what is the

. >> melissa: in the meantime, john garamendi from a democratic congressman, since he's taking it congressional delegation to ukraine next week to investigate the whistle-blower complaint against president trump. what questions do you think they should be asking when they go there? do you think you would be appropriate for them to also look into vice president biden's son and his dealings, and what position he was in? is the trip appropriate at all? >> my advice to anybody on that trip to the ukraine, if you are going to talk about defense issues and the amount of eight and whether the aide was or was not held up, i think it's appropriate. if you go to investigate the whistle-blower's complaint, you are out of line and entirely inappropriate. >> melissa: why? >> this is the problem. the only people with the authority to invest get things like this are authorities with knowledge, and that is not armed services. they can make this a political problem for democrats if they go too far. >> melissa: look at washington having so much experience, who do you think is behind this? because some wonder --

joining me now, california representative john garamendi. w welcome back to the broadcast, sir.from joe biden. in fact, we saw you through the camera nodding your head to that. what is your take to his response? >> he's doing exactly what should be done and what congress should also be doing. we need to push back on this president. this president's conduct is absolutely outrageous, most of it is illegal. quite probablied it engage in extort i extorting the new president, selenski, of ukraine, eight times. he did -- you notice the president didn't deny that he had said those things. we want the tapes. we want the information. we want to end the stone-calling that has gone on, and biden is absolutely correct to go right back at this president, punch back at him, because it is, in fact, the president of the united states that is outrageous in his activities. he is a serious abuser, just as the vice president said. >> so, when we heard the president say in his own words, when queried, it doesn't matter what i discuss, i imagine you probably vehemently disagree with that? >> well, in

last night on this program, we talked with california congressman john garamendi about how the trumpation is raiding u.s. military funds and defunding a bunch projects for u.s. troops and armed forces to instead divert that money to build his border wall, and that poses all sorts of problems for the president. politically it's a problem in terms of his self-proclaimed support for the military as he takes their funds. it is going to cause him serious problems where military projects that were promised, including things like elementary schools and day care centers for the kids of u.s. troops, those things have been promised to u.s. troops and their families. they have been funded by congress. they have been approved and they're ready to go. trump is now taking them away. he's taking that money for his own purposes. that's going to be trouble for him. the plan is also going to cause the president some legal trouble which is a lot of what we talked to the congressman about last night but there's also a specific problem, a specific plot in the way that money, that trump is raiding money f

california democratic congressman john garamendi on all of this.g a delegation to ukraine later this week. i will get into that with you, congressman, but on this trade deal, do you think it's even going to come up for a vote this year? >> well, this year is the next two and a half, three months. i think that's unlikely. we have the appropriations still to do. we have a government shutdown that could occur as a result of a lack of an appropriation bill. i know my work on the national defense authorization act is not yet, in fact, we are kind of jammed up there as a result of the president repurposing $3.6 billion of military funds that were essential in eastern europe now being used to build a wall. so there are many, many issues. no, i don't think it's going to come up this year. will it come up next year? i think that depends upon three issues that have yet to be addressed by the negotiators. so until they're addressed, i don't think this will come up. neil: you are looking for worker protections, that american workers aren't screwed and all that

john garamendi >> it wasn't me john? thank you know it certainly wasn't, mr. meadows thank you. the question has been raised as to why we are here today dealing with this issue. all of us have taken the oath of office. it basically says i will solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of united states against all army against all any enemies foreign and domestic we are here to uphold the constitution of the united states. we know that article one section nine clause nine is the four monuments clause which is very much to the question before this committee at the moment and going to section one clause seven, the presidential the claw presidential clauses also in front of the committee at the moment i think we can all agree this is the issue at hand in the reason we are here is to carry out our solemn oath of office. both of you before us also took the same oath of office. i will let us proceed then with some questions and explain why we are here. mr. matthews, you stated just a moment ago the the tenant is in full compliance with elise. my question goes misse

john garamendi from california the transcript of the two phone calls from the president proves no quidi pressed him on that. at one point he was telling me talked about the favor and he used the word "though." if you look at the transcript. i said shouldn't have you gotten the facts before you went all in. watch. >> you were hanging problems and this being a quid pro quo on the fact that the president used the word "though" in a phone call. a few seconds ago you said the assumption is shouldn't you have had these facts and not had assumptions before you actually move ahead with an impeachment inquiry? >> well, i can assure you and i can assure the american people that those facts will be forthcoming. >> but how you cannot get the facts before impeachment, you are saying they are for the coming. shouldn't you have had the facts in this case before you moved in full steam ahead? >> well, let's just back all the way up to the mueller report. he had found that there was in that case an effort by the president to obstruct justice. pete: here you go, press him on ukraine give me more details
