joining us leader of the gop, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. always a pleasure. thanks so much for being here. >> thanks for having me back. maria: you heard senator cruz. you heard lindsey graham as well, talking about what is taking place, what has taken place in terms of the i.g. report. first react to that. set the stage for us. >> if you pause for one moment, you read the i.g. report by horowitz, here's the fbi, they broke into president trump at the time, candidate trump, campaign, spied on him. then they covered it up. it's a modern-day watergate. then you have got democrats who are not even willing to look into that. that is the area we should be looking into. it's a modern-day coup, the closest this country ever came to. the only way you can compare it to watergate. they broke into his campaign bringing people into it. they had been trying to cover it up for the whole time. question rises just like watergate, when did they know about it and how high does this go up? maria: incredible that the democrats change the narrative on you and your colleagues over

i rise as kevin mccarthy, citizen, no better, no worse , kevin mccarthy, citizen, no better, no worse who are in this chamber, or the 330 representatives who are in this chamber, orthe 330 million americans watching this institution make what i believed to be one of the worst decisions we have ever made. it doesn't matter whether you are a democrat or republican, whether you are liberal or are conservative, whether you are the first generation of the 10th... conservative, whether you are the first generation of the 10th. .. so there you have, on capitol hill, the house minority leader, republican kevin mccarthy, speaking. and on the other side of your screen you have vice president pants, who is up at a rally in michigan where donald trump will be speaking to supporters in just a few minutes‘ time —— vice president pence. these two things happening at the same moment as americans wrestle with the impeachment of donald trump, and donald trump is out on the campaign trail. the proper grounds and process for impeachment now and in the future. four months, democrats and many in the media

scott, as you hear those comments from kevin mccarthy, what do you think?ossible he actually believes the words that are coming out of his mouth or is he trying to get a message to the president that he is loyal? >> well, i think a lot of republicans after reading the horowitz report and the rebuke that the fisa report, a lot of republicans are concerned about the way the issues regarding the trump campaign investigation were handled. i mean, the investigation by any fair reading of these documents was riddled with errors. all of the things that happened that were uncovered by the horowitz report cut against the trump campaign. it wasn't like it was a system making errors. all cutting against the trump campaign and chris wray, the fbi director is saying i have 40 fixes i have to implement. if something requires 40 fixes, it is not working right. what he's talking about is the general belief by republicans that there was a system in place here and even though there may have been greend to look into some things, there was a system in place that cut against th

and with that, i'll turn it over to our republican leader, kevin mccarthy. >> thank you, steve. >> good morning. you know, back in 2016, the democrats called those who supported donald trump deplorables. and now they're trying to disqualify their votes. democrats still could not get over the fact that the president won the election and they lost. just last week at this podium, nancy pelosi went to point out that they created a timeline to impeach president trump, that she said started two and a half years ago. many of you know of this timeline, because once they took the majority, they had to decide who would become chairs of their committee. the impeachment committee in the judiciary, who could win? jerry nadler campaigned on that he would be the very strongest member to lead a potential impeachment. on the day of swearing in, these new freshman that gave him the majority, a mere few hours after being sworn in, congresswoman talib proclaimed, we are going to impeach the mother. you had al green admitting that the democrats have true fears if they do not impeach president trump that he

we're still waiting to hear from house minority leader kevin mccarthy. we'll have his remarks when they start. i've heard a lot of excuses to avoid screening for colon cancer. i'm not worried. it doesn't run in my family. i can do it next year. no rush. cologuard is the noninvasive option that finds 92% of colon cancers. you just get the kit in the mail, go to the bathroom, collect your sample, then ship it to the lab. there's no excuse for waiting. get screened. ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. covered by medicare and most major insurers. man 1 vo: proof of less joint pain woman 1 oc: this is my body of proof. and clearer skin. man 2 vo: proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis... woman 2 vo: ...with humira. woman 3 vo: humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further irreversible joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the number one prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. avo: humira can lower your ability to

we'll talk to house minority leader kevin mccarthy after these quick messages.tay with us. [ electrical buzzing ] [ dramatic music ] ahhhh! -ahhhh! elliott. you came back! some people say that's ridiculous. i dress how i feel. yesterday i felt bold with boundless energy. this morning i woke up calm and unbreakable. tomorrow? who knows. age is just an illusion. how you show up for the world, that's what's real. what's your idea? i put it out there with a godaddy website. make the world you want. lou: the dow jones, and crude oil down nearly half a percent. 59 a barrel. gold gaining almost a percent. despite calls from president trump to cut interest rates, the federal reserve leaving the fed benchmark interest rate unchanged. assuring he expects to keep interest rates where they are through the next year as well. a remind tore listen to my reports coast to coast on the salem radio network. president trump signed an executive order to crock down against anti-semitism on college campuses. his order classified je -- classifies judaism as a race. he ordered two unive

sorry karl of is going to say just there i mean what the house minority leader kevin mccarthy said it's you know a quite telling it there's been many republicans basically coming out saying you know that the democrats are sort of very focused on winning this election next year and the only way that they can do it is essentially by removing president trump i mean well we heard there from republicans but no matter what they say i mean right now they don't have control the process this timeline is moving fast in fact as we hear president could be impeached before christmas. yeah you're absolutely right of course now what happens next is we've got the house judiciary committee they'll be sort of basically finalizing everything this week they'll finalize all these articles of impeachment they'll vote on them which will then pass on to the house of representatives we could see a vote there next week so basically what the democrats want is that everything is sort of tied up to pass on to the senate before christmas and what will happen is the trial will then take place early next year in janua

there's also the house minority leader, kevin mccarthy, and what he is saying. debunked allegations about the fbi spying on the president's campaign. we're keeping them honest on that tonight. speaking of the president, he is talking too, and his words are really hitting the fan. >> i never understood when -- i know windmills very much. i've studied it better than anybody. i know it's very expensive. you know what they don't tell you about windmills? after ten years, they look like -- you know, they start to get tired. you got to replace them. >> yes, windmills are also a thing tonight. and there's more. i'm erica hill in for anderson. thanks for joining us. we begin with newly released emails and the fight over weather to have witnesses at the impeachment trial. the two coming together tonight with the words of a white house budget official named michael duffey, someone senate democrats want to hear from. >> if there was ever an argument that we need mr. duffey to come testify, this is that information. this email is explosive. >> this email, the one in questio

we had the house minority leader kevin mccarthy. then adam schiff of california. both leaders of their parties from california given such impassioned pleas for both for and against the articles of impeachment. it will be interesting to see whether those two members come forward and give those same types of arguments again or whether they let others step forward to the podium and speak just as passionately for each article. >>> she is still nancy is still not picking up the gavel. we still have a little bit of time here. as we are coming also close to the end of the historic day in washington dc. the end of the day. it is certainly not the end of the issue. once the senate takes up it becomes a trial. there will be a justice from the supreme court who enters the picture. a couple of the representatives that nancy pelosi will appoint along with lawyers i might add. the members of congress the democrats who come forward who nancy pelosi pics. it is like the prosecution in a trial. they come forward and they argued like a prosecutor would. to sort of convict if you wi

joining us is republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy. i have to say, congressman.he part of cnn, even by its standards. political bias being absent in the origins of this assault on the presidency is stunning to me. i look at it as a pure white wash at the very inception of the inspector general's report. how could you not find bias in what the fbi and the justice department and even interest thanksal agencies obviously conspire to do? >> you look at this report, you are 100% right. look at how many times they were found that they did something wrong. more than 17 major items in there. they always went one direction, against this president, never for him. they spied on this president. unheard of in this country. this is the closest we have ever come to having a coup in this country. we have to make sure this never happens again. what they have done by being a law enforcement agency inside america to use that for their own purpose, their own political gain, is wrong. lou: it's congress and it's been destructive of this president's first three years in office. they s

here's house minority leader kevin mccarthy today. >> this is the day the nation is weaker because they surely cannot put their animosity or their fear of losing an election in the future in front of all of the other things that the american people want. >> animosity. a charge pelosi took on head-on today when asked. >> do you hate the president, madam speaker? >> i don't hate anybody. i don't -- i don't hate anybody, not anybody in the world. so don't -- i did not accuse you. >> you did. >> i asked a question. >> representative collins yesterday suggested that the democrats are doing it because they don't like the guy. >> let me make the point. >> think the president is a coward when it comes to helping kids who are afraid of gun violence. i think he is cool cruel when helping the dreamers. i think he's in denial about the climate crisis, however, that's about the election. this is about the election -- take it up -- this is about the constitutional of the united states, and the facts that leads to the president's violation of his oath of office and as a catholic, i resent your using t

house minority leader kevin mccarthy joins me now, and it's great to see you.ou have, nine legislative days left right now? >> nine legislative days left, and the democrats haven't done a budget, haven't funded the government, we've got trade with united states, mexico and canada more than a year old, all of this hanging above us, nothing on prescription drugs, and the democrats have hinged their entire majority on the impeachment of this president. maria: what happens next? nancy pelosi came out last week said she prays for president trump, but she also wants to impeach him. >> she'd love to impeach him. she has risked the entire majority on just investigating and impeaching this president. that is their timeline. and remember, maria, when they won the majority, they had to pick new committee chairs. nadler ran on the committee of impeachment, that he would be the very best for impeachment. their new freshmen that came in that gave them the majority, on the day they were sworn into office, that night they said they wanted to impeach the president. maria: that'

kevin mccarthy made the decision to remove him from the program. a spokesman told usa today that representative tom ameren of minnesota agreed. there is no place for inciting violence and politics, said >> briefing with reporters. mr. mccarthy: this morning i listened to speaker pelosi give us historical references. the one that she skipped was alexander hamilton when he wrote, there will always be the greatest danger that the decision to use the impeachment power would be driven by partisan animosity instead of real demonstrations of incense or guilt. today is the day that hamilton warned us. today with the speaker announcement she has weakened this nation. it was not new news. they always had this prewritten timeline from the day they got sworn in. let's go through their timeline. after winning the majority they had to decide who would become the chairs of their committees. impeachment committee, judiciary, had a campaign for it. nadler campaigned on the theme that he would be the best for impeachment, and he won the position. on the very first d

senator santorum, why is kevin mccarthy lying. >> i don't think he is. >> yes he is, sir. >> explain he is. >> john, let me explain. what kevin is referring to is the fact that they were using -- they used fisa to get into carter page's and wiretap and get information and, of course, he was talking to people at the trump campaign on occasion. and that's, quote, breaking in, using a false -- i mean, if the ig report is clear about anything, it's the abuse of the fisa system to get that wire on carter page which was then used to listen to people in the trump campaign. so it's not direct, i agree with you. they did not directly go in and recruit people and they did not directly take -- wire people in the trump campaign, but they did use that wire from carter page to spy on the trump campaign. and that's what kevin is referring to. >> that's what kevin is referring to. okay. let's put it in additional context for folks. kevin mccarthy is directly repeating president trump's talking points about the ig report before it was released. right down to the worse than watergate line. he's repeati

with that, i'll turn it over to our republican leader kevin mccarthy. >> good morning. back in 2016 the democrats called those who supported donald trump deplorables. now they're trying to disqualify their votes. democrats still cannot get over the fact that the president won the election and they lost. just last week at this podium, nancy pelosi went to point out, they created a timeline to impeach president trump that she said started 2 1/2 years ago. many of you know this timeline. once they took the majority, they had to decide who would become chairs of their committee. impeachment committee judiciary, who could win? jerry nadler campaigned on that he would be the very strongest member to lead a potential impeachment. on the day of swearing in, these new freshmen that gave them a majority, a mere few hours after being sworn in, congresswoman tlaib proclaimed we're going to impeach the mother. you had al green admitting the democrats have true fears if they do not impeach president trump, he would win re-election. now today we watch them introduce two articles of im

. >> bill: kevin mccarthy last night. some of his immediate reaction predicting the reelection as the top 2020 dems praise the house for impeaching president trump. joe biden using it to raise money ahead of tonight's big debate. a lot of democrats on stage. dan henninger and good morning. "wall street journal" board today here is what you write. this impeachment folly very interesting piece as you get inside it. the resistance wins in the house. will it lose in 2020? make your case, dan. >> the case is that they haven't made a traditional case for impeachment as we note that there are no crimes that have been included in the articles. they dropped bribery and extortion and instead went with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. indeed, abuse of power as they cite in the house this 700 some page house reports notes that andrew johnson, when he was impeached, it was nominally over the tenure and office act. the democrats argue it was because they opposed johnson was not in favor of the south. political reasons. democ

the one thing that kevin mccarthy said when he was talking about this somewhat in secret, the analogy is with the grand jury. what the house is doing is deciding whether or not there is an impeachable offense, much like a grand jury deciding whether orr not there is an indictable offense. this particular hearing is more public than any grand jury hearing whatever be. >> he also brought up several complaints about the process going on in the house. president trump has talked about this as well. here is president trump from yesterday talking about the impeachment inquiry process. i want to talk to you about that as well. >> i want freedom of speech. that is a political process. the republicans have been treated very badly. i watched a little bit of it today. i was not able to yesterday. i watched some of it this morning. i thought it was a disgrace. great republican representatives. people elected by the people. they are not allowed to make a statement. we are not allowed to have witnesses. we are not allowed to have white house counsel. it is a disgrace, and it is in an harassment to o

let's see what kevin mccarthy had to share on fox news. leader of the gop. >> here is the fbi, broke into president trump's campaign, spied on him and covered it up. it is a modern day watergate. and you have democrats not even willing to look into that. >> the ig did look into that very thing and found no "no evidence that the fbi put any confidential human sources within the trump campaign. that being the case and what you said democrats are not in a good position, why would kevin mccarthy put his name, reputation, and career out there and lie on television for the world to see. >> why would he lie? >> there is no accountability mechanism in forcing shame for the republicans -- >> why isn't he going on television, looking in a camera and telling a lie. >> it may not satisfy you, but it is why, no one will call it on it. when you have adam schiff saying he cannot be allowed to cheat again, you're directly contradicting the mueller report. the definitive conclusion while also relying on them. there are two existing polls and there is no ac

good job and leader kevin mccarthy. here now with more deputy congressman steve scalese. louis, good to see you. congressman scalese, to see this unfold the way it is, do we even know what's coming next? have they decided what's coming next? is there any real witness that we'll ever hear from, except for opinion, hearsay, you know, ivory tower professors that have left wing agendas? >> look, sean, it's -- it's -- i mean, they have no idea where they want to go with it. they thought it was going to be the mueller report that was going to give them impeachable charges that they can go and bring. there's nothing this president has done wrong. ultimately it ended today. jim jordan said it best with the four facts. the bottom line is, president zalenski and trump were on the phone call. neither had a problem with the phone call. he was thankful to president trump for selling him the missile so he could stand up to russia, something obama and joe biden wouldn't do. no one in the media wants to add that. every witness, matt gates said did any one of you raise your hand if you've

kevin mccarthy offering this. you heard some of the language questioning adam schiff and what he read in during the house committee room about a month ago. ken starr was making a point before we went back to the floor of the house. i interrupted you. then i will bring in andy to respond to that. >> the key point is the evidence of an impeachable offense has to be overwhelmingly to a a fair-minded person, just overwhelming. not having followed all the evidence throughout a long trial, but the president did something according to this theory, so profoundly wrong that the republic is in danger. that's what the democrats have been doing. taking what i view as a thin evidence record and creating a national security risk as well as an intervention. advised intervention into u.s. politics. i think both those themes are really quite farfetched. >> bill: andy, do you disagree with that? >> any time ken invokes my name is fine by me. we're getting to the same place but coming at it from different angles. i don't think he wo

manu raju asked this question today of kevin mccarthy. he didn't answer the question, and that's a difficult one for republicans. >> i think it is a difficult one. as i said before, i thought it was inappropriate to bring up the biden name. i don't think it was inappropriate to ask for an investigation of burisma, but i think it was inappropriate to bring up the bidens' names. and there are lots of things short of impeachment that deal with inappropriate behavior. >> when the president tweeted about the senate trial today and talked about we're going to have schiff, the bidens, pelosi, and many more testify, is that going to happen? >> you have to ask mitch mcconnell. mitch mcconnell is going to run this process. again, he is going to follow -- >> senator santorum, you seem to think it is? how does that actually work? >> here's what happens. again, i was very, very engaged in this. senators are going to look at this, everyone thinks oh, they're going to respond to what the president wants. they're going to look at this as -- number one, a

as kevin mccarthy said, to the republicans need to wait for their side? >> i haven't heard and ultimately for me, this was about finding facts, people that have been trying to impeach the president since january 2017 and every time they see a new fact, they think this is an example of impeachment, an example of exoneration, i was just trying to get to to the facts and for, no evidence to suggest bribery or extortion and when it comes to abuse of power, i wish we were having a broader conversation on abuse of power that inspector general horowitz found out in his report from those fisa applications that we used on carter page. i think that is something all americans should ultimately be concerned with and spending time with trying to understand that to prevent this from happening in the future. >> you have an intelligence background, served your country in that capacity. the foreign intelligence surveillance application, under some pressure to be reviewed and reformed, it will survive, you have people like yourself or senator ben sasse who said yesterday i

>> the leadership will say we aren't watching this but between kevin mccarthy and nancy pelosi and their senior staff, they are watching this. they are gauging how is this playing out on television, what is the pulse, what is going on, what are constituents going to be calling about involving their members about and i think both sides are trying to make their case, but there is no clear consensus and that's why ultimately i think the senate is going to look at this and say we are not going to do much with it. >> as objective as you can possibly be sitting there and watching this, how do you think both sides felt about what we just watched? what do you think nancy pelosi is thinking? >> i don't think it's going well. is really difficult not only for members but people at home if i said you really quickly, tell me exactly what the president did wrong, what law did he break, what did he do, most people cannot articulate that. they have two things that are so broad that it is really hard to duplicate. >> he tried to bribe a foreign power. >> they took that word out. abuse of power, what is t

i rise as kevin mccarthy, citizen. 435etter, no worse than the representatives that are in this chamber. or the 330 million americans watching this institution make what i believe is to be one of the worst decisions we have ever made. it doesn't matter whether you're a democrat or a republican, whether you're liberal or conservative, whether you're the first generation or the 10th, at our core we are all americans. all of us. we choose our future. we choose what kind of nation we want to be. here's our choice tonight. will we let impeachment become an exercise of raw political power, regardless if it damages our country? or will we protect the proper grounds and process for impeachment now and in the future? for months democrats and many in the media have attempted to normalize the impeachment process that would remove a duly elected president from office. after three years of breathless nd baseless outrage, this is their last attempt to stop the trump presidency. madam speaker, speaker pelosi even recently admitted that democrats have been working on this impeachment for 2 1/2 years .

one thing i want to get to because kevin mccarthy hit on it a few times.is discussion on this show before. when he talks about nancy pelosi saying in march that because impeachment is so important it needs to be bipartisan for her to support it, that was in the "washington post," and he says she's not standing by the standard she set out. she won't hold herself to it. nancy pelosi responded to that actually this morning and said what changed was the whistleblower report in september, and that changed everything. >>> all right. that's it for us today. thanks, everybody. see you later. have you ever worked with dr. francis? oh yeah, he's ok. just ok? guess who just got reinstated! well, not officially. nervous? yeah. yeah me too. don't worry about it, we'll figure it out. i'll see ya in there! just ok is not ok. at&t has america's best network, now with our best plans, at our best prices, starting at $35 a line for 4 lines. new from at&t. our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition... for strength and energy! whoo-hoo! great-tasting ensure. with n

this is a motion to table the privilege question that kevin mccarthy, congress kevin mccarthy offered up. you saw steny hoyer there. he offered this motion to table. it looks like they have less than 14 minutes left. looks like democrats will have the vote to kill this motion and keep things moving >> before we get to the issue of impeachment, we have to approve the rules. that's still to come? >> right. they have to approve the rule and then that sets in motion, the six hours of debate eachly divided between democrats and republicans. at that point, two folks easily recognizable. jerry nadler and the then the top republican on that committee doug collins. the two of them will preside over that floor debate. you'll see speeches from adam schiff, he will tick through the evidence, the president's chief defenders, jim jordan and others who will speak for the length of that six hours. once that's cut off, they get after it and vote on the articles of impeachment. >> andrea, nancy pelosi, we'll be seeing her a couple of times later today. talk about the weight of history on one's shoulder

as we mentioned, you're going to see kevin mccarthy, other republicans walk in for their weekly news conference. we're going to have that live for you. >>> plus, we've been talking about the split screen moments. the department of justice inspector general report, that is getting big-time coverage on networks the president likes to watch, concluding the russia probe was justified. but that is not the line that president trump and his attorney general are hitting. the president now slamming his fbi director and we're going to have a look at all of that coming up in a sec. ec my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness... ...much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out. i got this! watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are feeling real relief with cosentyx. cosentyx is a different kind of targeted biologic. it treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis to help you look and feel better. it even helps stop further joint damage. don't use if yo

jillian: what this tweet from kevin mccarthy, breaking democrats sign their own pink slips. to undo the results of the 2016 election and impeach the duly elected president of the united states. let's not let them forget what they have done. many are concerned what this will mean going forward for impeachment. >> reporter: the first completely partisan impeachment in american history. and the first speaker to serve twice. she will be remembered as speaker of the house who let a partisan impeachment, a duly elected president of the united states, this will continue to give us, to push back against democrats and donald trump in the face of all of this, historic obstruction and abuse of power by democrats delivers day in and day out for the american people, we thought paid family leave past the senate, become law of the land because of donald trump, usmc a, record economy, worked for our veterans, you name it donald trump delivered, democrats pander partisan politics. the contrast is clear, democrats are set to leave in 2020. rob: it unify the republican party like nothing else.

election excuse me in 2020 now later there was a press conference of the house minority leader kevin mccarthy all of the republicans let's listen in what he had to say the speaker is more concerned about tearing the president down instead of building the country up this is the day that alexander hamilton feared and warned it would come this is the day the nation is weaker because they surely cannot put their animosity or their fear of losing an election in the future in front of all the other things that the american people want to know over despite. those complaints by the republicans we are in a situation now where we could easily see the u.s. president impeached before christmas right. that's right on thursday the judiciary committee wants to vote on these articles and that would open the way for a house floor wold so the house of representatives will vote on articles of impeachment as soon as next week and that in turn would trigger that so-called senate trial in january but let's not forget it's unlikely the president will be removed from office as a result of that due to a republican ma

. >> my winner of the year is kevin mccarthy, the leader of the house republicans -- a lot of peoplealk about how nancy pelosi is a master tactician but she did not do particularly well this year. she was bullied into doing impeachment against her better instincts and kevin mccarthy took advantage of those missteps and had some good strategies of his own to keep his entire republican caucus together. chris christie was saying there are three democratic seats that are poised to go republican in new jersey because of impeachment. if that if the kind of trend nationwide, it could be big problems for pelosi, and mccarthy has emphasized fund-raising and candidate selection. my loser of the year are russia collusion hoaxers. at the beginning of this year, democrats, the media were still getting high on their russia hoax supply and everything came crashing down when robert mueller came out with his report showing not a single american had colluded with russia to steal the 2016 election and you had his testimony where it was apparent that he didn't have much knowledge of what that investigat

house minority leader kevin mccarthy. we hope you will joins. we'll see you then.trish: a major interview. the attorney general bill barr came out swinging this afternoon, shredding the horowitz report. bar says he fundamentally disagree with the inspector general's analysis as to whether there was ever enough evidence to open an investigation into the trump campaign. >> i thought this was very flimsy. there was and never has been any evidence of collusion. and yet this campaign and the president's administration has been dominated by this investigation into what turns out to be

now all he has to do is have his guys retweet the president, retweet kevin mccarthy and keep refeeding propaganda to members of the republican media. every time this propaganda is spread they are helping russia's disinformation campaign. when the president and members of the republican party spread this russian propaganda, they're directly undercutting their own intelligence community, who by the way is trying to protect our ear lections from actors like russia, because our own intelligence community gone up to the white house and briefed them on this is a russia propaganda theory they're spreading and president trump should have been briefed with the same information. rather than rely on the intelligence committee the president and members of the republican party are relying on putin,s that is undercutting confidence in the american security and compromising fiona hill. >> right. >> she was the president's senior director, before this, on russian affairs. >> and she said it is russia, not ukraine and they will do it again. interesting. boris senate leaders from each party, mitch mccon

kevin mccarthy made the decision to remove him from the program. a spokesman told usa today that representative tom ameren of minnesota agreed. there is no place for inciting violence and politics, said minority whip steve scalise. and of doubling down on disgraceful comments, the candidate ought to apologize and denounce these on acceptable statements. buck, his website called him a conservative american, is running to challenge representative charlie crist of florida, a former governor it was held the seat since 2017. national republican groups aim to flip the seat so the race is rated solid democratic by the nonpartisan political report. in birmingham, alabama, we hear from olivia on the democrats line. caller: good morning. i wanted to say this to the gentleman that called in saying african americans -- let me tell you something. doesn't have a 401(k). everybody is not benefiting from the stock market. we have a report out today that says 8% of people are worse off. this, i am offended. i am a black woman. sons that have been locked up. 40 men

tonight we've got house minority leader kevin mccarthy, congressman matt gaetz, former nypd commissionernd more. and later, i take you inside the new york white house, aka, trump tower, for an exclusive sit-down with erik and lara trump and a first-ever exclusive look on television at newborn daughter carolina trump. but first, my open. ♪ ♪ >> it was everything we said it was and everything they said it was not. we now have confirmation, corroboration that the deep state exists, that it worked to spy on and frame a presidential candidate and plant the seed for his overthrow in the ugliest, most corrupt attempted political coup in u.s. history. that it occurred at all, is stunning. but that it was manipulated to take down a president and remove him from office almost as soon as we put him there, essentially overthrowing a government, is an outrage that demands the most severe consequence our criminal justice system has to offer. now, you put this together with the russia collusion, and nancy this week saying -- >> off for 22 months, ago? but it's been four and a half years. >> that's righ

daniel, over the weekend, we saw kevin mccarthy saying that he would pick jim jordan, doug collins and jon radcliffe to represent the president. they were some of the most dramatic parts of the hearings in the house. if that plays out, is this just going to be a total drama-fest? or, does the senate trial play out a little different where we're not just gong to sing to repeat of what we saw in the house? >> from this members of congress you mentioned, it does sound like this is something that republicans are interested in making a slugfest. these are extremely partisan members of congress who are favorites of president trump. they are not the ones who are trumpeting a fair impeachment trial in the sense of saying let's stick to congressional rules, hold up tradition. some of trump's most ar dant defenders here. the same with democrats, too. senate minority leader chuck schumer has continued to demand for more documents and more high profile members of the administration to be witnesses and something that mitch mcconnell has shown strong opposition to right now. i don't see a lot of imp
