we will continue to take your phone calls up until we hear from kevin mccarthy. ere are our phone numbers. we are on the phone with greg in mississippi on the republican line. go ahead with your thoughts. caller: i just want to say, open up that phone transcript, that's great. these impeachment inquiries, whatever, i can't believe you get so much done with all the stuff. and ex acknowledge engineer rations and lies. i will vote for him again. host: west virginia. caller: i have a hotline for social security. what i would like to know is when did we as the american public give up our rights to equal treatment, equal trokes of the law and the 14th amendment, because this claims anybody they bring up on charges within their social security administration that we file a complaint against, we get told nothing. we cannot know the status of whether they are convicted or not, the status of whether they committed a crime or not. so who deals with the criminal activity and the illegal activity without the american public to do anything about it? all they can do is report i

and we are waiting to hear from republican leader kevin mccarthy. and we have votes coming up in the house in about 20 minutes or so. one member on the democratic side who has spoken more on the house floor than any other calling for an impeachment proceeding is al green. here's a statement: i am hopeful for the articles of impeachment, i welcome anyone on board. to texas, dana on the republican line. >> thank you for taking my call. when donald trump was going through all this commotion with mueller, adam schiff came on c thmbings n and said i have proof on donald trump. where is his proof? he can his mouth, he came out and made a statement, where is the man's proof? there is none. they keep saying they have proof on trump where is it? if they want this man out, if they had proof, donald trump would not be sitting in office right now. they would have impeached him. donald trump isn't going to get on the phone with any foreign lead wers how many people listening and do something like that. this is another show for the democrats. i feel story for the

waiting for kevin mccarthy. bart in com on the republican line. you are on the air. caller: i'm glad that you took my call. i didn't know whether to laugh or cry when i heard nancy elosi. ancy pelosi and representative cummings -- are you listening? host: go to atlanta, georgia, democrats' line. caller: thank you. i'm a proud democrat and i'm glad that they are finally going to do something, what they are doing is stopping trump from holding himself, his family and this nation. ever since he has been in office, the office has been a mockery, a bully. he has done so much that there's a saying, we are divided. but what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. and if you were taught that by your parents you would know. i look at when i see how you can manipulate a situation

>> well, it was curious to hear kevin mccarthy's remarks. it was as if he had them in a case marked break glass in case of impeachment, but it really needed updating because it missed the last week. this has been an avalanche since the revelation of the whistleblower, and the president's own admissions about his conversations with the president of ukraine and of course the withholding of money which put a whole different coloration on this. i think it change d the entire dynamic, the piece in "the washington post" by seven moderate members of congress was a critical juncture, the first year members all of whom from national security community, because they were the ones nancy pelosi was worried about. it was in their districts there was the greatest resistance to impeachment, but i think there was this sense that the cynical political thing at this juncture would be not to act. that doesn't mean there aren't risks. i think there are great risks here, and no one knows how this will play out. you could end up, in fact, invigorating the preside

announcer: now, house minority leader kevin mccarthy of california and republican conference chair list maybe from wyoming talk to reporters about several issues, including the 2020 election. it was the second day of the house republicans annual retreat in baltimore. . this is 30 minutes >> now, kevin mccarthy and liz cheney from wyoming talk to issuesrs about several including the 2020 election. it was the second day of the republicans' annual retreat in baltimore. this is 30 minutes. >> good morning, everybody. thank you for being here. we are really excited and energized, in terms of what we are doing in our retreat. we had a great evening last night with president trump and i think you really saw the contrast in particular with the fact that the events were going on at the same time, the contrast between the president, the accomplishments we have seen in the last three years, all across the board, from the economy, which is growing at a historic pace. unemployment which is down at historic levels. unemployment for women and african-americans and hispanics. across the board, you have

. >> pelley: kevin mccarthy is the leader of house republicans and heading the effort in the house against impeachment. what do you make of this exchange? president zelensky says, "we are almost ready to buy more javelins from the united states for defense purposes." and president trump replies, "i would like you to do us a favor though." >> mccarthy: you just added another word. >> pelley: no, it's in the transcript. >> mccarthy: he said, "i'd like you to do a favor though"? >> pelley: yes, it's in the white house transcript. >> mccarthy: when i read the transcript, president zelensky brings up a javelin is a protection for anti-tank, something that president obama would not sell that president trump did to protect the ukraine. >> pelley: how do you expect the president's defense to roll out going forward? >> mccarthy: the defense of what? >> pelley: well, there's an impeachment inquiry. >> mccarthy: yeah. there's an impeach inquiry going forward. it probably never would move forward, had the speaker waited 48 hours to have the transcript. we vote on important things every day. but there

we are hearing from kevin mccarthy now. they have been investigating this president before he even got elected they have voted 3 times on impeachment on this floor twice they voted before one word of the mall report came back. our job here is a serious job our job is to focus on the american public our job is to make tomorrow better 'd than today our job is to legislate not to continue to investigate something in the back when you cannot find any reason to impeach this president this election is over. i realize 2016 did not turn out the way speaker pelosi wanted it to happen but she cannot change the laws of this congress she cannot unilaterally decide when a pietschmann inquiry what she said today made no difference of what's been going on it's no different than what natalie has been trying to do it's time to put the public before politics. thank you. well you have the right to a brief statement that from house minority speaker kevin mccarthy republican essentially denouncing nancy pelosi as impeachment inquiry against pre

president trump tweeting i have informed the republican leader kevin mccarthy and all republicans in the house that i fully support transparency on the so-called whistle-blower information, but also insist on transparency from joe biden and his son, hunter, on the millions of dollars that have been quickly and easily taken out of ukraine and china. additionally, i demand transparency from democrats that went to ukraine and attempted to force the new president to do things that they wanted under the form of political threat. that's from president trump. we expect to hear more shortly in this news conference. we're here live in new york for president trump's news conference following three days of meetings and speeches at the united nations, the u.n. general s assembly. one of the leaders he met with was the president of ukraine, that meeting happening earlier today. we'll show you the meeting with president zelensky until the news conference gets under way here live on cspan3. >> thank you very much, everybody. we're with the president of ukraine and he's made me more famous and i've

top republicans kevin mccarthy.y nadler are purposely refusing to call in doj inspector general michael horowitz to testify to congress about this recent probe. james comey violated the rules. why are they not calling him in to testify? democrats fear it would ruin their impeachment trump against trump. >> it shows their lack of substantive concern for issues that should matter when the director of the fbi conducts himself that way. when i walked through a snowstorm for a cigarette, that's when i knew i had to quit. for real this time. that's why i'm using nicorette. only nicorette gum has patented dual-coated technology for great taste. plus intense craving relief. every great why, needs a great how. here, hello! starts with -hi!mple... how can i help? a data plan for everyone. everyone? everyone. let's send to everyone!

we also heard from the minority leader, in the house, kevin mccarthy, saying the house, kevin mccarthynd as for mitt romney, the utah senator who over the weekend said this would be troubling in the extreme if the allegations against donald trump proved to be correct, he has now gone on record saying, the speaker of the house has got a bit ahead of her skis and she should have waited until a transcript of this controversial telephone conversation is made available which president trump says it will be tomorrow. tell us trump says it will be tomorrow. tell usa trump says it will be tomorrow. tell us a little bit more about what it is he is alleged to have done and why this telephone call is so crucial. what is alleged to have done is effectively leaned on the leader of a foreign power, in this case, ukraine, withholding aid money, hundreds of millions of dollars in aid money that is destined for ukraine, approved by congress to go to the ukrainians. that was withheld and the suggestion is that the president used that aid money as leverage or some sort of dirt to be dug on his political

we are awaiting word from house minority leader kevin mccarthy at any moment.s we wait on that, what is the latest and what has been a very busy day of developments? anna: the latest is the announcement from nancy pelosi. we are trying to figure out how different this will be from what they were already doing. there are six house committees already invested getting different aspects of the trump residency including his personal finances, business dealings and associates. now that speaker pelosi has said they are doing these formal impeachment hearings, it is unclear if that will be a continuation of what committees are already doing orbit moves into a new phase. we will be looking for if this ends up in a house floor vote. the house will be gone for two weeks for a two week long recess. when they come back, some movement on whether or not the full house will vote on articles of impeachment. kathleen: this gets tricky to watch if you are not in washington and not doing what you do because we know the dish very chairman in the house jerry nadler has said his pane

kevin mccarthy, bless his heart. it's like he doesn't have a pulse. we are talking about the president of the united states being harassed and subverted. what does it take to light a fire under the leadership in the house and senate? >> it's disappointing. but i am hoping they will get themselves together and push bang on the democrats and call this what it is. this is tearing up the constitution and doing what they can to subvert the will of the people. this is a coup. the last time republicans tried to do this it didn't end up well for republicans. we need to call them out and take it to them. i haven't seen that so far today. mitch mcconnell's comments were helpful either. lou: do they need resuscitation? what can we do for them to let them know they have important jobs and responsibility to the american people and certainly to the republican party. >> i agree. the good news is the american people don't support that. everybody checks with their pollsters, i hope they will figure it out. lou, it's politics. it isn't the finest and brightest shining

let's bring in house minority leader kevin mccarthy of california. congressman, great to see you. >> thanks for having me, mike. mike: this morning i spoke exclusively with the co-chair of the democratic policy communications committee on "sunday morning futures." let's play what he said, and i'll ask you to respond. >> we passed two common sense proposals back in february, universal background checks and closing the charleston loophole. they are sitting in the senate awaiting action. we've called on the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, to bring the senate back and pass those bills. the reason this is important, universal background checks work. mike: leader mccarthy, your reaction and your thoughts a after this latest attack in odessa. >> well, at the very first, our thoughts and prayers are for all those in texas as they cope with this and for the law enforcement. i want to thank them for their work. i also want them to do their work to be able to give us the knowledge of how we can prevent this. i know from the house side and the republica

we've informed kevin mccarthy about transparency. we said vote for it.o i think you have close to 100% of the republican votes i hope. and they got almost no attention but in may, cnn reported that senators robert menendez, richard durbin and patrick leahy wrote a letter to ukraine's prosecutor general expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical. in the letter they implied their support for u.s. assistance to ukraine was at stake. if they didn't do the right thing they wouldn't get any assistance. gee, doesn't that sound familiar? doesn't that sound familiar? and chris murphy, who i have been dealing with on guns, so nice, oh, no, we want to work it out, we want to work it out, but they're too busy wasting their time on the witch-hunt. so senator chris murphy literally threatened the president of ukraine that if he doesn't do things right they won't have democrat support in congress. so you will look all of this up. one other thing, just going off certain notes and element of what we've been doing over the last three

we understand that kevin mccarthy, the republican leader, also is speaking to reporters. we'll have that live for you as well. back to your calls, though on this issue. 202-748-8920 for democrats. republicans, 202-748-8921. nd all others, 202-748-8922. texas, go ahead. democrats line. caller: hi, everyone. i just wanted to let you fice know that i'm really proud of the democrats for finally standing up for the rule of law. i also wanted to take the time to say that brenda, the woman with cancer, who was on earlier, she is standing in the way of justice when she votes for president trump. he is obviously a corrupt criminal who is blocking the release of this whistleblower complaint because he knows he's guilty. and if you don't see that, then nothing can help you. and i hope you do your country a favor and stop voting. like i said, pelosi's brave to do this and i stand with her and i'll be voting to make sure that brenda loses bigger and better than she ever has before. thank you. host: thank you. fairfield, alabama. gimbings l is on our independent line -- guilda is on ou

i can't go along with this. >> i also think kevin mccarthy is right.now, maybe he missed those two comments today and maybe he's saying nobody walked up to me, but they're basically still holding the line around the president. >> some say -- people are saying different things behiend the scenes and it will matter whether you will come out and saying it or not. >> so what is the strategy with that and beto o'rourke says in you don't know why trump should be impeached you're just not looking. the presidential candidate is out front. with all day comfort for all day fun... depend® fit-flex underwear features maximum absorbency, ultra soft fabric and new beautiful designs for your best comfort and protection guaranteed. life's better when you're in it. be there with depend®. walking a dog can add thousands walking this many?day. that can be rough on pam's feet, knees, and lower back. that's why she wears dr. scholl's orthotics. they relieve pain and give her the comfort to move more so she can keep up with all of her best friends. dr. scholl's. born to mov

gentlemen, the republican leader of the united states house of representatives, the honorable kevin mccarthyr. mccarthy: thank you, friends and fellow americans, it is an honor to be here with you and commemorate the solemn occasion. four centuries ago, european colonists propped forth on this continent a new form of slavery aced on race. among its many evils, slavery used people to get control, made it illegal to teach slaves to read and write, up to 1/5 and one third of all slave marriages. it led to many shameful moments by our government, some of which occurred in our own chambers, such as the infamous gag rule. of course, we look back at this period was shame and remorse. but the underlying values of the american project prevailed in the end. slavery was denounced as an abhorrent chapter of our nations history. , even if it put their safety at risk. one of these individuals was franklin douglas. s, confident that freedom has always stood out for me. he had every reason to hate america for the injustice he suffered, but he became one of america's greatest champions because he saw that it

i also heard you talk about kevin mccarthy. he and other republicans want a vote pretty soon on usmca, nafta 2.0. that's a big election-year agenda item for republicans and for this white house. democrats generally say, okay, we're willing to give that look. there's no real sense of urgency on the democratic side, but they want to tuck into that deal, environmental protections and some worker protections too, hallie. >> we've been taking a look at that podium, where we are set to see the house majority leader any minute. he's heading to the white house later today along with senator mitch mcconnell, john thune, other republican leaders. you had a chance to sit down with someone on the other side of the aisle, jerry nadler, the judiciary chair. fill us in on what he's saying about moving forward with this impeachment inquiry. it sounds like right now it's bogged down in a little bit of semantics, huh? >> right. and he talked about how in his new view, these new procedures, they'll vote on this resolution on thursday, but he says

kevin mccarthy tangled with scott pelley over the president's use of the word though.ley had the transcript in front of him. >> president trump, i would like you to do us a favor, though. >> you just added another word. >> no. it's in the transcript. >> i would like you to do a favor, though. >> it's in the white house transcript. >> it's in the transcript. it's right there. >>> president trump's first homeland security adviser says he is deeply disturbed by the president's actions in the ukraine controversy. tom bossert telling abc news, he warned the president that the ukraine conspiracy mr. trump was pushing, had been debunked. >> i'm deeply frustrated with what he and the legal team is doing and repeating that debunked theory to the president. it sticks in his mind when he hears it over and over. and for clarify, i'll repeat that it has no validity. >> in addition to requesting the probe of the bidens, trump asked the president of ukraine, to look into whether a computer base in ukraine had been used to hack democratic servers. in other words, the possibility that

it's disgraceful w that i'll bring up our leader, kevin mccarthy. mr. mccarthy: thank you, steve. normally in a normal congress we'd come here and talk to you about what's going to be on the floor. what legislation is passing through commeefment -- committee. what problem we are going to solve. our ability to work. let's see the facts of this ongress. democrats have voted three times to impeach the president. twice they voted before the mueller report even had one word public. i just watched the speaker yesterday demean the office of the speakership. i understand members when they want to be political, but the power of the speaker is a much different place to be. i listened to the speaker claim that the president violated the law based on nothing that she had read. based upon a whistle blower that wasn't even listening to a conversation. with an i.g. saying that the whistleblower has political bias. i listened to nancy pelosi, the speaker, promise the american public if they trusted the democrats with the majority that they would be different. that they would be different this tim

we need -- i have to say kevin mccarthy, bless his heart, it's like he doesn't have a pulse, for god'sre talking about the president of the united states being harassed, as he says -- and to me, being subverted -- what in the world does it take to light a fire under the leadership in the house and the senate? >> well, it's disappointing, but i'm hoping that they'll get themselves together and move forward with a more full-throated defense of our president and pushing back on the democrats and really calling this out for what it is. this is tearing up the constitution, throwing it out the window and doing anything they can to subvert the will of the people, and it needs to be called that. this is an ongoing effort at a coup, and, you know, the last time republicans tried to do this, by the way, it didn't really end up very well for republicans. so i think we need to call them out and really take it to them, but i haven't seen that so far today, you're right. and mitch mcconnell's comments weren't very helpful either -- lou: good lord. does he need resuscitation in i mean, what can we do

we have informed kevin mccarthy about transparency and we said vote for it. so you have close to the 100% of the republican votes, i ope. and got almost no attention, but in may, cnn reported that senators robert menendez and richard durbin and senator lay hey expressed concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical. in the letter they implied their support for u.s. assistance to ukraine was at stake and if they didn't do the right thing, they wouldn't get any assistance. geez, doesn't that sound familiar? doesn't that sound familiar. and chris murphy, so nice and we want to work it out, but they are too busy wasting time on the witch hunt. so senator chris murphy literally threatened the resident of ukraine that if he doesn't do things right, they won't have democrat support in congress. you have to look all of this p. one other thing, i'm just going off certain notes and elements of what we have been doing over the last three days. but this just came a few minutes ago. the amazon-"washington post" just put out a fake article that acti

gentlemen, the republican leader of the united states house of representatives, the honorable kevin mccarthyyou. colleagues, friends, and fellow americans, it is an honor to be with you here and to commemorate this solemn occasion. four centuries ago, european brought forth on this continent a new form of slavery based on race and birth. among its many evils, slavery used violence to achieve control, made it illegal to teach slaves to read and write, broke up to 1/5 and one third of all slave marriages. it led to many shameful moments by our government, some of which occurred in our own chambers, such as the infamous gag rule. so of course, we look back at this period with shame and remorse. but the underlying values of the american project prevailed in the end. slavery was denounced as an abhorrent chapter of our nations -- nation's history, even if it -- history. along the way, courageous individuals stood for what was right, even if it put their safety at risk. one of these individuals was .frederick douglass we all know about his incredible biography. but the idea that freedom ultimately
