plus, karl rove on his big predictions for 2020. anybody ready for a contested convention?d parent looking for a nanny for a college student, comedian joe piscopo weighs in. that's coming up on "the daily briefing." >> melissa: the house is back on tuesday, the first day of speaker pelosi sending over the articles of impeachment to the senate. it is, as chief justice john roberts, who would preside over any senate trial, is warning about the dangers of fake news. some read it as a rebuke of president trump. roberts saying in his annual new year's eve message, "in our age when social media can instantly spread rumors and false information on a grand scale, the public needs to understand our government and the protections it provides is ever more vital." back with "over time," our power panel, kayleigh mcenany and dave brown. kayleigh, what do you think about that? >> he never mentioned president trump, so those who are putting this on president trump and acting as if it's some sort of criticism are reading into it something they perhaps wish to see that just doesn't exist. i

cried a few tears but i picked myself back up and i made a promise as i walked into the bar while karl rove was opening a bolt of champagne, if i had anything to do with that, i would fight back to take back state legislatures. we are better prepared than ever going into 2020 and ready to take this fight and even more chambers going into the next election cycle. i recognize our chairwoman. this is one of the chambers we switched red to blue. and she shares my vision at the dlcc for flipping red to blue. she would be here with us today. but one of the benefits, you can pass great policy and passing voter registration in new york. so we are excited to see that progress. voting rights get when democratic governors sign those bills for us. new york is president alone. since president trump's we flipped 10 chambers and here are the 10. we have flipped 436 seats, including victories in 425 districts that trump won. across the board we made gains 45-50 states. the 2018 election was a sea change that we continue into 2019. here's what it looks like. 42% where democrats control the state legislature

er popped up a budweiser while karl rove was presumably popping a bottle of champagne. if i had anything to do with that i would fight like hell to take back state legislatures around the country. i have the opportunity to do that now in the dlcc. we're better prepared and we're ready to flip even more chambers going into the next election cycle. i also today want to recognize our chairwoman, new york majority leader andrea stewart cousins. this is one of the ones we flipped red to blue. she shares my vision and our vision at the dlrc for flipping state legislative chambers red to blue. she would be here with us today but one of the benefit of inning new majority is you can pass great policy including bail reform. so we're excited to see that progress. voting rights do excited when democrats win majorities and democratic governors sign those bills for us. but new york isn't alone. since donald trump's election we flipped 10 chambers from trode blue. here are those state legislative chambers. we've also flipped 436 seats including victories in 425 districts that trump wo

aesthetic isn't really an ideology and he seemed to me like in your portrait, he was kind of the karl roveof the early putin administration who loved tupac and obama as stylistic choices but came from that generation that was born in the early 60s that were so absolutely cynical, and they just saw the state as something to be milked, and like you pay lip service to whatever ideology you want, but you get yours. >> right >> what compromise was ernst making? >> i think his compromise as you say it is not necessarily political or moral, there i don't think he's in any sort of conflict with himself. it really is a stylistic or aesthetic compromise, especially after the annexation of crimea and the outbreak of war and all that's followed as russia's politics have really curdled into something quite aggressive and inward-looking and suspicious of the outside world, suspicious of cosmopolitanism, suspicious of a lot of the values that ernst once and somewhere deep down holds dear, his channel has been forced to adopt certain aesthetic things that i know he must find distasteful. you can't actuall

karl rove, jonathan swan from "axios", kristin soltys anderson, a fox news contribute to be. with the white house defense team, put it up on the screen. it is a really good cable news panel, with people like ken starr and alan dershowitz, more a panel seems to me than a cohesive team of lawyers. how comfortable do you think white house counsel pat cipollone is with having to try to run this operation? >> i don't want to speed for pat cipollone. i know he is leading this. he is very much in charge, him and jay sekulow the key lawyers. they have a good relationship with jane raskin. she was on the robert mueller defense team. there are a number of people inside the white house at a very senior level who did not want the president to have alan dershowitz on his team. that was an issue of great consternation, particularly given the recent reports about his very close ties to jeffrey epstein. they did not want that association. so that was probably the most controversial part of it. but actually don't think that this has been a huge issue, having additional people. the president w

myself in that moment as i walked back into the bar and popped open a budweiser while presumably karl rove was popping an expense he have bottle of champagne. and i made a promise to myself in that moment that if i had anything to do with that, i would fight like hell in 2020 to take back state legislatures around the country. and fortunately i had the opportunity to do that now with the dlcc. we are better prepared than ever going into 2020 and flip more chambers going into the next election cycle. i also today want to recognize our chairwoman, new york majority leader andreas cousins. this is one of the chambers we flipped red to blue in the 2018 election cycle. and she shares my vision and our vision at the dlcc for flipping state legislative chambers red to blue all across the country. she would be here with us today but one of the benefits of winning new majorities is that you can pass great public policy and so she's passing automatic voter registration in new york and other great policy including bail reform up in new york. we're excited to see all of that progress. voting rights do

graham, a champion of the iraq war, and former bush officials and serial liars, ari fleischer and karl roveare these the best experts we can get this is like doing a segment on organizing music festivals and interviewing billy mcfarland and ja rule. [ laughter ] and the same people are trotting out the same lies they did 17 years ago for example, vice president mike pence lied and tried to link soleimani to 9/11 in a tweet that was not supported by the evidence and if that sounds familiar to you, it's because it's right out of the playbook of george w. bush and donald rumsfeld, who repeatedly linked saddam hussein al qaeda and other terrorist groups without providing any evidence >> the reason i keep insisting that there was a relationship between iraq and saddam and al qaeda, because there was a relationship between iraq and al qaeda >> there are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations. >> reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns there are thi

bush karl rove thanks for weighing? >> you bet morning,. pens i want your take on this, the pens, look like bullet cases, and washington examiner reporting on the pen the word united spelled wrong what is your take on yesterday's on yesterday's happenings? >> well, i was a little bit taken aback, there was a very strong hint that unless you agreed with nancy pelosi and the house dooumeindictment of president trump you were somehow unpatriotic un-american against constitution epitomized by nadler's comment senate was disgusting -- this iss not seriousness you think you would approach this kind of important action with. but about the house rushed to a decision, doddled in christmas holidays new year's before transferring to senate language i think intemperate over the top highly partisan. >> do you think the president will be removed from of those what is your take on the evidence, that the democrats will present next week on tuesday, in the senate trial to back up these articles. >> i don't think there is a sensent being on face of the plant

there was an office that worked for karl rove whose job it was to listen to the critics of the administration who were navy supporters of the president but worried about this, that, or the other thing. that office would send me -- we are hearing that this is going wrong. what is the ground truth? and that particular -- pete wainer was the head of that office and he played an incredibly valuable role as the internal team b asker of it inconvenient questions. if someone on cnn is shouting at the administration from afar. it is another thing when someone has the unquestioned trust of the president and his loyal to the president but asks the inconvenient questions. it was useful as a way to reflect on how strong is our argument? can i persuade pete on the merits of this or that? to go not, then i had back to megan and say -- are we sure about this or that? it was a way of improving the rigor of our analysis. i can think of several occasions where outside critics were able to sharpen our analysis. there were a couple of other ways that they reassured us because we would bring in the sharpest and m
