tick, or will it up mark shields and david brooks poeak down all the week's tical news, and much more woodruff: it has been a week unlike any other in recent year multiple days of impeachment testimony, from enministration officials past and pr all in public. but where does the impeachment representatives go from here? with me is our own lisa desjardins, to walk us through what the next few weeks might bring. so, lisa, it has been a long week, a lot of hearings. be hearings ended yesterday afternoo today president trump weighed in. >> that's right. let's start there. the president clearly was paying very close attention to these hearings, he had a lot to say this morning on "fox & friends." he reported his message about vice president mike pence. he also spoke about impeachment. let's listen. >> don't forget, there was no due process, you can't have lawyers, we couldn't have witoesses. we wanall the whistleblower. but you know who i want as the first witness? beusfrankly i want to >> what he's sayin is he doesn't think the house intelligence hearings were fair, he didn't have represen

that's syndicated columnist mark shields, and "new york times" columnist david brooks. the both of you -- hello both of you. david, i guess you could say it's the best of times and the worst of times for president trump. on the one hand, we just reported the financial markets today were off the charts, set nog records all over the place, but, meantime, there are impeachment hearings going on just down the street from the white house. look at this fir couple of days of hearings, have the democrats strengthened the argument, or where are we? >> yeah, i think they have. the case is very solid i that ihere was a quid pro quo, all the testimony pnts to that. mostly you see a contrast in the first two gentlemen wh testified the first day, they were just uptanding, solid, public servants, i thought i was looking back in time because they were two people who weren't self-centered. they cared about the country, no partisan axe to grind, just had tegrity. we saw that today with yovanovitch. in her case, the day was more emotional because you got to see a case of bullying against

mark shields and david brooks are away.th you re here, happy friday and thanks for being here. >> goodbe here. a lot to cover. let's start with the little bit of news we have on the impeachment process. there's reporting of details from the testimony earlier this week from lieutenant colonel vindman. it's being reported now that he as a member of the national security staff in thee white hos on that call between president trump and president zelensky and he was instructed after that call by a top whiteer house laot to discuss that call with anyone. when you take into accrtnt all the reof the testimony this week, what are your takeaways? >> well, for a conversation the president told us was so perfec he's going to read to us in a fire side chat, there certainly was a lot of alarm about this conversation. it's difficult toll whether this was lawyer being careful and just simply telling theop he advises not to make more of this conversation than there was, or whether this was a lawyer trying to cover u and conceal this conversation. it's one of the many things that we need to know more ab

shield the military from that. they had more success when jim mattis was secretary of defense. now with mark esper, it seems he's more willing to do trump's bidding. and i fear that will do long-term damage to the professionalism and the apolitical ethos of the military. >> kwquickly, i want to get to your op-ed in which you skewered the republican party for its undying loyalty to the president. he keeps handing them one poisoned chalice after another. they get judicial appointments but trump's law breaking undermines any conservative claim to be defenders of the constitution. they get tax cuts but the resulting deficits undermine any conservative claims to be budget hawks. by backing israel's annexation of the palestinian territories, trump is undermining its future as a democracy. they get to keep power for the time being but his unethical and unhinged conduct undermines any claim that they deserve to hold it. yet, what about republican voters? you know the most recent polling shows 90% of republicans think the president is doing a good job. >> there's no question that president trump is a
