now some 45 years later, the congressman's son larry hogan says he backs the impeachment of this president need an inquiry. i'm not ready to say i support impeachment but i do think we have to have an inquiry. i'm very concerned about can we have a fair and objective one. >> you do think we need to have an inquiry? >> i don't see any other way to get to the facts. >> the house fulfilled the responsibility by reviewing evidence and concluded the facts warranted three articles of impeachment against nixon, obstruction, abuse of power and congress. the same thould be issued against trump in our views constitution the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors. 17 signatures to that oped. this is one of them. walk us through this. we are laying out the historical parallels here. >> as yogi bara said, it is deja vu all over. we have abuse of power that came out in spades where this deal with ukraine where trump is trying to get dirt on biden and his john and holding back aid. there is all kinds of criminal violations there. that was the tipping point. very similar to what happened seven days befo

. >> nixon republican larry hogan, the father of maryland's current governor, was moved by the evidence that's so appalling to me is that the president, when this whole idea was suggested to him, didn't in righteous indignation rise up and say, get out of here. you're in the office of the president of the united states. how can you talk about blackmail and bribery and keeping witnesses silent? this is the presidency of the united states. >> one by one, rock-ribbed conservatives who had revered the president put conscious over party. >> i cannot condone what i have heard. i cannot excuse it, and i cannot and will not stand still for it. >> i wish the president could do something to absolve himself. >> perhaps the most conservative southerner was walter flowers of alabama. he had served as the segregationist george wallace's campaign chairman. >> i wake up nights, at least on those nights i've been able to go to sleep lately, wondering if this could not be some sordid dream. impeach the president of the united states. >> but he did vote to impeach even though walter flowers said it gave h

maryland governor larry hogan has ten days from his passing to schedule a special election for his seat set the date by the middle of this week. buddy has leverage over when it will take place. it could be as early as february or more than a year from now. in the meantime elijah cummings is being remembered by his constituents and colleagues on both sides of the aisle as a champion with true compassion and justice. elijah cummings was 68 years old. to present to you today. [son]: who are you talking to? [son]: that guy's scary. the first item on the list is selecting a chairman for the... for the advisory board what's this? as well as use the remaining... child care options run out. lifetime retirement income from tiaa doesn't. guaranteed monthly income for life. when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan. that's why we're offering seven things every medicare supplement should have. it's yours

bill weld who you have run against said something similar, larry hogan who is in the race for presidenting similar. why are no republican members of congress actually doing this? >> because they're afraid. they're afraid of trump's voters. ali, look, we live in scary times now. i think, and i told you this before, what i say about this president publicly the vast majority of my republican colleagues up on capitol hill believe it privately. this is the most disloyal president we've ever had. my republican colleagues know that. they're just scared to death to say anything publicly. but ali, the ukraine thing, what we have learned in the last two weeks alone that the president of the united states told two different foreign governments to in effect sabotage our elections, sabotage our elections. if that's not impeachable, then nothing is. i think as this thing goes on, ali, as the impeachment inquiry goes on, i think you will see republicans, especially in the senate, begin to stand against this president. >> i wonder. republicans used to always stand on the idea they were law and order fo

we saw a little bit of that yesterday with maryland governor larry hogan joining other republican governorsacking the inquiry. watch. >> i think we do need an inquiry because we've got to get to the bottom of it. i'm not willing to say i support impeachment and the removal of the president, but i do think we have to have an impeachment inquiry. but i'm very concerned about can we have a fair and objective one. i'm not sure we can in this democratic congress. >> you just said you do think we need to have an inquiry. >> i don't see any other way to get to the facts. >> he's one of the more problem meant republicans to call for the inquiry. as the president focuses on joe biden, should he also be worried about how to field criticism coming from his own flank? >> yeah. this has put republicans in an incredibly difficult position. you're seeing them, very far so far, coming out in favor of even an impeachment inquiry. a lot of them are having a tough time answering questions about what the president said and did on that phone call with the ukrainian president, if they think it's ap yot, if they

seen republicans hammer the president on what's happening in syria and turkey, but i mean when larry hogan came out, the governor of maryland and said he's in favor of impeachment inquiry, and mitt romney did his thing. do you see any signs of republican weakness? >> as far as they're going, and i mean i can count the number of republicans who said what he did was wrong, but not impeachable on one hand is sticking with the president. the frustration you're seeing expressed about syria is a lot of pent up frustration they're feeling right now with the impeachment inquiry, and they're sticking with the president and they're letting it out in this outlet. not to say they don't authentically and seriously care about what's happening with the kurds, but i think, you know, the policy issue -- >> we are out of time. >> we're out of time. >> thanks. rachel, jonah, stephanie, thank you very much. we'll be back. that is all the time we have. thank you for sharing part of your sunday with us. check out "world news tonight" and have a great day. >>> up next, a deadly crash in contra costa county. what

on the politics, something interesting happened this morning, maryland governor larry hogan has come out in favor of this impeachment inquiry. he's a republican who has been on the sidelines so far. i want to play for you what he had to say this morning. watch. >> i think we do need an inquiry because we've got to get to the bottom of it. i'm not ready to say i support impeachment and the removal of the president. but i think we have to have an impeachment inquiry. but i'm very concerned about can we have a fair and objective one. and i'm not sure we can in this democratic congress. >> i mean, that's about as far as any republican official has gone so far. it is disappointing, to say the least, that you're not seeing more republicans step up and say what we saw in the transcript that the white house released was itself prima facia conduct that is impeachable. they could impeach just on that. they don't even need any witnesses. >> we talked a little bit to evelyn about ambassador gordon sondland, the ambassador to the eu bade on our reporting in the last 45 minutes or so has indicated

very active vocal minority opposed to reducing the gesture, he insists we need more highway lanes, larry hogan, there is a bunch of pro traffic activists where they plot to keep the roads filled with traffic, that's not quite as bad as what happened in 1960, eight years a quote from angela is one of the leaders of the highways, she recalled fbi harassment and noted that this newspaper, sorry, the washington post quote called this everything from communist to pink goes to that little band of discontented people, that engagement or that conflict is there and still there, again i'll try to keep moving here but this is fascinating, this is tammy added, he was an old school, looks a little bit like mr. magoo, but he was an old school labor right, union organizer back in the thirties and he really knew how to organize people to get things going, this is regional booker, he was a president, and part of the reason i think he was the president is they adopted this slow and, white man's roads through blackmon's homes, which if you look across the country it's very much true, some areas events and that i

representative lawrence hogan, and i believe he is the father of the current governor of maryland, larry hogan'm not wrong. so, it is possible that when people see the evidence, they come to the conclusion that the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. so that's high crimes and misdemeanors. but what i want to ask you about, jill, is the people around richard nixon. because not a few of them went to prison. can you just remind folks of who around nixon wound up not on the impeachment truck but on the going to jail truck? >> well, it was a big group of people who went to jail. it was his white house console, john dean, who also cooperated with us and was -- i'm waiting for the john dean of this scandal to come forward, and it may already be the whistle-blower. it could be mr. taylor from the state department, in addition, his attorney general, john mitchell, went to jail, his chief of staff went to jail, mr. haldeman. his chief domestic adviser went to jail. there were a big cast of characters that went to jail because they committed crimes, and they did it because he set a tone

the associated press that they put up, larry hogan says "he is very troubled i the controversy that hasmpted the impeachment inquiry, but he says more facts needed to be gathered." hogan made those comments at an appearance in new york, he said that "the declaration by the white house that it will not cooperate does not sit well with me and a lot of other people." that is the republican governor of maryland. host: you can make comments on the speech from yesterday, and the rally at our facebook page at facebook.com/c-span. a couple of thoughts. the besting "this is president since theodore roosevelt. he loves america and is doing his best to improve the lives of americans. again, if you want to watch the whole rally, do so at our website at c-span.org. for the past two hours we have been taking your comments, not only on the rally itself but the topics and themes that came out of it. you can make your comments. call us at 202-748-8001 for republicans. 202-748-8000 for democrats. 202-748-8002 for independents. if you want to text as that is available at 202-748-8003. twitter is at c-span

we hear from the governor of maryland larry hogan who put this statement out. he leaves behind an incredible legacy of fighting for baltimore city and working to improve people's lives. he was a passionate and dedicated public servant whose contributions made our state and country better. chairman cummings drew bipartisan outpourings this morning. no one perhaps more known than chairman congressman mark meadows. his friendship was well-known. it was in the news in recent years. here is what cummings friend mark meadows put out just a little while ago saying there was no better, no stronger advocate and better friend than elijah cummings. i'm heartbroken for his wonderful family and staff. pray for him. i will miss him dearly. he also had a statement put out by his wife dr. cummings, the chairperson of the maryland democrat party here. she is obviously heartbroken saying she was glad to walk by his side. here you have a couple of people here that turned out. one a baltimore city firefighters behind me holding the sign saying thank you, mr. cummings. for your ser

today, republican governor larry hogan said he supports the impeachment probe.don't see any other way to get to the facts. take the drudge report, influential, famously historically conservative outlet, it has had more and more anti-trump h feeding to its somewhat conservative audience. and fox news, well, it says majority of americans back impeachment. "the washington post" has been reporting on fishers over that issue, how they cover the fact a lot of people and plurality of republicans back impeaching trump. quote, fox serves as creative inspiration for the president's political message, "the washington post" reports, and the power that fox news holds over republican voters is a crucial factor as the battle over impeachment continues. it is possible that donald trump is very aware of all of this, and the influence on not just all voters but these base voters. "new york times" reports this interesting development, donald trump's attorney general meeting with rupert murdoch at his home this very week, trump talking up fox news at his rally, keen awareness how t
