martha?martha: joining me now from iowa and on america and what is going on out there, joel stein, author of the new book "in defense of elitism." it has a lot of humor in it starting with the back flap. when you open it up. joel, good to have you here tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> martha: so listening to matt finn's report, all of the democrats are trying to connect with people in iowa. trying to sort of bridge that gap and get them interested in their candidacy. you write in your book about how you say you went to the trumpiest town in america and you learned something. you said that that experience changed you as an elitist, which your self-described. how does that happen? >> yeah, let me first define what i mean by elite. the intellectual elite. experts. people that believe in ideas, people that believe in not operating from the gut. i live in a very, very blue part of california, a part of los angeles where there are no republicans as far as the eye can see. so i went to the co

>> martha: i find it fascinating.act that this news organization is saying they are not going to investigate him or any of the democratic candidates but they will investigate president trump says we are completely on one side. i don't know how you can be a news organization that way and i know a lot of people. that type b wrote a piece about this in rolling stone. we have a news division and we try to be very fair. mike bloomberg should be saying cover me. cover everybody. do your job. why isn't he saying that? >> this is what we have seen from the vast majority of the mainstream media. they are obsessed with finding anything this president did wrong. he said something in the wrong tone. they attack him. yet when it comes to the, the marketing arm for the democrat party. this is not that surprising to hear they are not going to investigate bloomberg. they are not going to investigate any democrats, it shouldn't be shocking. >> martha: americans would say how can you call yourself a news organization. a couple of their

a "the story" hosted by martha maccallum starts now. another big week for your testimony. >> martha: we could just play those over and over tomorrow. i got some people nodding to that right here. we'll see a bright and early tomorrow morning, bret. good evening, everybody. here's a question to think about tonight. will we see any sort of different tactics tomorrow in the questioning from republicans in these hearings, which will begin some 14 hours from right now? they were pretty careful not to push ambassador yovanovitch, not questioning whether there was substance to her firing, which was called for by both the president of ukraine as well as the united states president. then the president blurted out that famous tweet in the middle of the whole thing. that led to some immediate backlash but clearly, he was frustrated with what was going on in that hearing and wanted a little more substance on that issue. so the ambassador, though, she went to a hero. a standing ovation. [applause] thank you so much, we love you for what you did. now

>> martha: let me ask you this. president trump has suggested according to people in his orbit that he considered or talked about at some point dismissing michael atkinson, the ig for the intelligence community, for bringing forward this whistle-blower complaint and john roberts reports this was not under serious consideration in the white house. what do you think about that? >> my understanding is it wasn't under serious consideration, the president may have been talking through some options, but employees like to serve at the president -- he can let them go if he wants to but i don't think that's going to happen. >> martha: look ahead to you tomorrow for us. we are going to hear from george kent and bill taylor. you have said this process you think is unfair but nonetheless, americans across the country for the first time are going to hear these people in their own voice. you think they are going to come across as credible? 's to go i think the mccanns are going to see a process that they know is unfair where the

"the story" hosted by martha maccallum starts right now. >> martha: another big one coming up. thank you, bret. good evening, i am martha maccallum in new york. tonight on "the story," the battle between president trump and those who make their careers and the kind of work we watch the past couple of days, mike huckabee is here, also tonight senator tim scott, and the 2020 battle that unfolds in south carolina very interesting for jim gray on the nfl brawl that everyone is talking about. the ladies are here for friday night. but first, adam schiff, thanked long-term ambassador marie yovanovitch on giving a window and how diplomats serve our countries. not much in which he specifically some in the diplomatic community says she has not been tough enough on russia, pointing to one example during her tenure, 24 ukrainian hostage were taken and there is the pipeline completed in weeks providing russian natural gas to european allies, potentially igniting a cold war style collision to europe's dependence on russia. there have been parts where she wasn't strong enough. given the presi

children. >> martha: like a wrestling match.f charles krauthammer, daniel great to see you, the big question for you tonight, when you look at that and you look at the politics in america today, what is the point of all of that? can you tell me? >> yes, it was not the most pleasant thing to watch or experience, and it is the kind of question that i have gotten a lot this past year, with my father's book coming out and gone around the country to speak about it and talk too many people who look to his voice as one of reason that they trust in the craziness out there. and there is a yearning for more stability and more reasonableness. and what we talk about. and that's what i have tried to address in this new paperback edition, and trying to instill, not what my father, what he would say today to all of this, but i can talk about how i know that he would say it and the principles that he always embodied when he did approach a public debate. >> he saw some of early stages of this, but you wonder what he would counsel at this point w

: that's what they say, maintaining these conditions. >> martha, martha, come on. >> martha: you're not answering my question. the funding of elizabeth warren's bill because americans want to decide who to vote for or want to know if it will cost them more or they might lose their job. >> i think health care is one of the most important issues for voters. and i think the differences could not be clearer. things to lyndon baines johnson medicaid and medicare affordable care act, we are substantially up the mountain to make sure that everybody has access to quality health affordable health care. democrats want to make sure we go further. >> martha: but nancy pelosi said today she is not in favor of medicare for all. so i guess i'm asking you as the chair of the dnc how do you feel about medicare for all as a platform for your party right now, is it what you are in favor of? >> we are all in favor of democrats running for president is to ensure that everybody has access to quality, affordable health care. there are differences without opinion without a doubt between democrats to get from w

you had eric swalwell on, martha, earlier. he was saying it might be about other witnesses that can come forward. the key point is that republicans are saying they are not getting their witnesses. they have three of them, but they are not getting all of the witnesses they've asked for, including the whistleblower. and republicans, andy mccarthy, are saying democrats are in search of a smoking gun. and this witness, while compelling and sympathetic, is not a smoking gun on the charge of bribery that they are going down. >> no, i don't think she advances the ball on the bribery aat all. she's more political damaging in terms of the transaction they are focused on. but i do think it's important that, if they have alternative facts to challenge her on, they must do that. chris was just mentioning some of the details we've heard, that she hasn't been challenged on yet. one of the things she said in her testimony today was that she was asked by -- i'm sorry, i lost my place. she was asked by giuliani, or she was accused by -- that's
