dialogue but through false narrative designed to elicit sympathetic views and here i thought it larry clinton calling half a countryman deplorable those was discordant or democrats calling republicans traitors was inflammatory i said this before and i'll say it again russia even if it wanted to could never have done a 100th of the damage and division done to america by its own media and politicians were refused to compromise refused to accept their own countryman's opinions and views but no matter what you say to these people they will squirm they will twist they will speak and always always turn it into someone else's fault just not there . more and more republicans have changed their views on russia because of president trump's positive statements about russia and russian president vladimir putin and again asking the atlantic council what it thinks of russia is like asking the flu virus what it thinks about vaccines i mean they're literally paid to say this by arms companies whose sales depend on everyone being afraid of russia it's a tough spot what is a defense secretary to do his rhetori

don't think that was really an anti trump i mean look we all do that kind of stuff larry i remember being at a. bill clinton event when bill clinton showed up an hour and a half late for his nose as he was always late you know that he was playing golf that day and he came in like he just walked off or go off course but you know. frankly put bill is trump still the leader of the free world and the american presidency is what is trump i do not think so i think the leader of the free world today is still. with her fading and soon out of office that manu micro is stepping into that role and i think it's i think it's something all americans ought to be concerned about republican or democrat i think we want to be seen rightfully so as a leader of the free world and you know george w. bush was bill clinton was barack obama was a people don't have that respect for donald trump he's just too erratic and his foreign policy and he's turned against some of our best allies and embraced some of our biggest enemies how the heck did we get in trouble with canada yeah of all people right. you noticed he started out with a s

if you go back to the clinton impeachment, here he is on larry king in 1999. >> there have been 15 impeachments in the history of the country, two cut short by resignations, the other 13 impeachments, there were witnesses. it is not unusual to have a witness in a trial. it is certainly not unusual to have a witness in an impeachment trial. house managers only asked for three witnesses, i think that's pretty modest. >> we should point out for fairness that chuck schumer had a different position, he wants witnesses now, during the clinton impeachment dnlidn't wa witnesses. how are they explaining the position. >> this is a tactic when senators have been around long enough, dig up old clips of each other on the floor. especially for particular nominations, clearly for impeachment proceedings. many senators have taken different sides. chuck schumer in the focus today with his outline for witnesses and other trial requests, explained it away as saying look, witnesses i thought were not necessary during the clinton impeachment trial had testified in the house proceedings, four witnesses he called for

but during the clinton impeachment, schumer actually said something very similar to larry king on cnn before the senate vote. let's listen to that. actually, let me tell you what he said. we don't have the sound. he said, this is not a criminal trial, but this is something that the founding fathers decided to put in a body that was susceptible to the whims of politics. larry king asked, so anybody taking an oath tomorrow can have a pre-opinion, it's not a jury box. schumer responded, many do and then they change. also it's not like a jury box in the sense that people will call us and lobby us. you don't have juries called or things like that. the criticism that chuck schumer is making to mitch mcconnell is almost verbatim the criticism that the rnc made to chuck schumer over this. how are voters supposed to take this seriously when chuck schumer is taking a serious one that i guess you say the basic tenets of the trial like the trial that will take place in the senate. they include the calling of witnesses. it would be unprecedented for the united states senate in an impeachment trial

larry. listen i think that both sides and really i go back and i look at the nixon. investigation and i look at the clinton investigations and i've sort of compared and there's nothing really to compare with in this case. we in except for example you'll remember this there was a special prosecutor he brought in witnesses there was the john dean moment it took time the case was litigated some of the issues and we just simply have not had that here the same with with the course clinton and ken starr and his report and his investigation do you think the president has done anything inappropriate. well i do think if he had to do over again he probably would have done it differently what makes it different here and again i look at this with the with the glasses of a prosecutor on who who did this look he had 20 people on the phone he was open and the tourists about it. but that being said he's opened himself up politically to this kind of and the country i just don't think this thing has been good for the country and it's created a lot of discord i don't lock it in july donald trump declared that article 2 of th

reference to the clinton impeachment trial is a useful one those were rules the word opted on a bipartisan basis and they allowed for due process and a dignified proceeding you're right larry did there is a tension as i understand it between the majority leader in the president and you know really from the trump perspective here clearly what they want to try to do with this proceeding is to make it into a 2020 spectacle and to really use it from a messaging perspective to hurt 2020 democratic candidates but i think that mcconnell will probably face a fairly significant amount of pressure from members of his caucus to hew to traditional precedent here and to conduct a proceeding that honors the seriousness of the issues at stake. to pass. on the house side that is certainly my assumption. just given the. partisan makeup of the house and the. control and influence that the speaker wields over her caucus i would be very surprised if if she authorize moving forward on. articles of impeachment. portions of which would fail that would be a fairly damning incident if it happened in the house. so yeah i assume they will they will all move forward in the house david was this really

clinton impeachment, and now he wants them. >> right. but to quote mitch mcconnell on this network, on larrying live in 1999, quote, it's not unusual to have a witness in a trial. it is certainly not unusual to have witnesses in an impeachment trial. >> which i don't think he's saying no to witnesses ever. i think what he's saying is in the middle of the trial that's when we can consider this. that's what we did back in the clinton days. >> so wait until he gets started? >> she's shutting the door for now. he doesn't want to call the witnesses in advance. >> it's a bit of a convenient argument. of course they did call those witnesses, they were blocked repeatedly by the white house. >> what i also found interesting about what he said, he's framing the argument overall against the senate moving, and he's obviously doing the white house's bidding. he's obviously as he said a couple of days ago, i'm taking my cues from the white house, but he's also picking up on that argument by the lawyer in the house hearings, the lawyer who represented the republicans who was saying this is the thinnest evi

as we saw in the clip from larry king in 1999, schumer said this is not like a jury, we come to this with our preopinions. when he voted yens convicting clinton in the full senate, he harkened back to the earlier votes in his campaign saying, i made up my mind about five months earlier in the midst of that campaign and the house vote. >> you know, i often wonder if they look back and remember the videotape and remember the statements that they made. >> yeah, you know, you often wonder stuff like that, you know. a couple of i want to say three our four weeks ago when we went to the controversy where donald trump compared impeachment to a leenking then joe biden attacked him, and we posted a video of cnn of joe biden using the exact same words saying lynching comparing to impeachment. do they forget? think no one will remember? it's up in the air. >> andrew kaczynski, always great to show what really happens. thank you very much. >>> for more on what to expect from the senate trial, let's bring in congressional reporter for the hill and cnn presidential historian. welcome to you both. >> thank you. >> i should point out, tim, you're the co-auth

clinton said she could put coal miners out of business? joe biden took a page out of her really bad playbook. katie: plus donna brazile, larry your trip needs for everyone you love. expedia. ♪ >> we have a president who is running the most corrupt administration in the modern his strinchts watergate? this is a global watergate. >> i'm the person who started the need to impeach movement. >> i know what you are thinking, america, how am i still on the stage with them. >> we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment. >> the mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals. billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president. >> this is the problem with issuing purity tests you cannot yourself pass. senator, your net worth is 100 times mine. >> who has the best chance, most likely chance of defeating donald trump? >> as you expect, i'm the most qualified. >> you basically mocked the 100 years of experience on the stage. >> you have bigger fish to fry here. >> i don't think we have bigger fish to fry than picking a president of the united states. >we have to beat trump and transform
