here is martha. i tried to get out on time. >> martha: thank you, bret. good to see you as always. all day today we have been covering this story and tonight democrats appear to be on the brink of a very big vote to impeach. one source calling it a one-sided impeachment in the house. essentially the best they can get and, quote, censure on steroids is essentially what impeachment would be in this election year. so today, behind closed doors in a room without staff and no cel cell phones nancy pelosi turned to her caucus and said are you ready? according to a member of the leadership she said you have a problem with impeachment, now is the time to speak up. reportedly after that no one did. she then said to them something along the lines of we have to go with what we have. there is not going to be any time for any more court decisions. so, in front of the cameras today it appeared that the judiciary committee and three of the four witness attorneys they had there had made up their minds long ago, saying the president abused his power and is not a king. >> the president has committed

good to see you both. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: next, on a different note.ee this over the weekend? a lot of people watched what "saturday night live" did this weekend and said it was funny. it was good natured. it was sort of even-handed. we'll talk about why that is and what may be changing next. the former s.n.l. star joe piscopo joins me coming up. >> who on earth could vote for trump after this? >> how could anyone not for trump after this? >> who do you think will be voted off "the masked singer" next week? ce for members like kate. a former army medic, made of the flexibility to handle whatever monday has in store and tackle four things at once. so when her car got hit, she didn't worry. she simply filed a claim on her usaa app and said... i got this. usaa insurance is made the way kate needs it - easy. she can even pick her payment plan so it's easy on her budget and her life. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa little things can be a big deal. psoriasis, that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque pso

martha takes it from here in new york. >> martha: in new york tonight on the "story" the latest.ew information on this deadly shooting at the naval air station in florida bry a member of the saudi air force. what we are learning about this suspect this evening. breaking news. joe biden says we are on the verge of a recession. the numbers today clearly tell a different story. we will try to sort out the facts from fiction. and 78 years after pearl harbor one veteran remembers it like it was yesterday. he joins me tonight along with my big announcement this evening about something i have been working hard on and i am excited to share with you later in the show tonight. stay with us for that. i am martha maccallum and this is the "story." a lot to get to tonight. first, a short time ago, the president's attorneys said no thank you. they won't participate in monday's unfair house judiciary hearing where the case for impeachment is presented. let's take a step back and look at the parallels between now and 1998. listen to this honest admission from a former republican member of congre

"the story" with martha maccallum starts right now. >> martha: good evening, everybody. i'm martha maccallum and we are in new york. two big stories that are breaking this evening as we get new reaction to this report. and lawmakers getting their first look at this report that is expected to serve for articles of impeachment. a big week and we are just getting started. also, the findings of the origins of the investigation. that will start rolling out next week but former fbi lisa page broke her silence and the president tonight comes out swinging. trey gowdy and newt gingrich are here to react. trey gowdy in june 2018 laid out his case that these two fbi agents, sent text messages which caused a firestorm. he makes the argument with acting with political bias, watch. >> peter strzok wrote nonsense and trump is a disaster and had no idea how these stabilizing presidency would be. we have the same fbi agent lisa page and the same fbi agent peter strzok working on the clinton email investigation, the russia probe, and on mueller's statement. >> martha: former federal prose

good evening, martha. >> martha: what do you make of those heated interactions that you are seeing in some of these 31 swing districts and also adam schiff got some backlash in his district as well? >> with it, shows the courage that my colleagues have brought to decision-making process. i have heard republicans accuse democrats, in fact, ranking member doug collins for hours today in the rules committee said all the democrats are doing are playing to their base. well, if you look at alyssa and others standing before town halls and constituents and seeing people disagreeing with heir decision to move forward on impeachment. that's not playing to your base as well. >> martha: no. they are making tough decisions. there is no doubt about it. how many of those 31, do you think, can survive the elections in 2020? >> i think the voters will reward them for their conviction? i really believe people understand this is about our national security. our election integrity and oath to the constitution. it's not about politics. whether you agree with what we are going to do tomorrow or not, that i

martha. >> martha: indeed that is true. look at the "usa today" poll that the president mentioned that came out. it is one of only a couple that we have seen so far in the early stages of this campaign. and it does show the president ahead of joe biden. 44-41. also ahead of the other major candidates as well. you are the president kind of poking some fun at joe biden on the campaign trail. what can you tell us, peter, having followed him of this about what the energy and enthusiasm is like at these events? >> the energy and enthusiasm really comes from people having one-on-one interactions with him, which is obviously something that nobody at a rally like the president's last night ever gets to have, for a variety of reasons, most of them involving security. but a poll like that could undermine something that biden likes to say at every single event he hosts, which is that he thinks president trump is scared of him, because he things that president trump knows that biden would beat him like a drum. his words, martha. it's g

the story hosted by martha maccallum starts now. >> martha: thank you, good to see you tonight. moments ago, the house intelligence committee inside that dome voted to approve the report that starts the whole process moving forward on the basis for articles of impeachment against president trump. earlier today, intel chair adam schiff said the report details overwhelming evidence of misconduct and obstruction in his opinion but also signaled a little bit of a window. he said whether or not these articles move forward, then signaled that if it doesn't work, all is not lost because his committee is not done. they will keep investigating and investigating. >> even as we believe that we can operate because the president's efforts to secure intervention the next election persist, we continue our investigation. >> and we will. so what does this tell us? "the washington post" reports that they have been quietly debating expanding the impeachment articles to improve high crimes that don't stem from the ukraine investigation but back from the mueller report. so if you thought that whole

>> martha: do you believe that? >> no.ne of the problems that happened was precisely that they pulled the investigation up to the executive floors, and it was run. and it was bird-dog by a very small group of high-level officials. and the idea that this was seven layers below him is simply not true. >> martha: he also said that you told the president three times that he was not a target of the investigation. do you believe based on what we know now that the president was not to the target of crossfire hurricane? or was not one of them? >> i think effectively the president was being investigated. we were investigating the trump campaign and trump associates. but again, as i have said, what happened after the election to me is very questionable. and i think that there has to be a lot of focus as to what happened after the campaign. and they learned that their whole case had collapsed, and they really had no basis to take it further. so we are looking into that. >> martha: do you think that we need to reform the fisa court sy

the story hosted by martha maccallum up in new york posted right now. >> martha: good to see you, everybody. breaking in new york on "the story," inspectors at odds as michael horowitz finally releases the report of 21 months of everybody waiting for it on what he learned on who did what to get the ball rolling on investigating the trump campaign on russia and all the connections they said they are there. how did they get the fisa court to approve several surveillance reports on americans? michael horwitz said he found no political bias in the investigation. that means that former fbi director james comey very happy, he put out his victory lap tweet today. he said, so it's all lies. no treason, no spying on the campaign, note tamping no tapping.good people trying tt america. then you also had john durum weighing in. he's overseeing this larger criminal probe that's related to all the same issues. so it's really very surprising that he spoke out today mid probe to say this, that he does not agree with some of the reports' conclusion as to predication and how the fbi case was open. speaking o

>> martha: do you think?eg: you are looking at me. >> juan: you get upset any time we have to cover this. >> greg: i am. the white house cannot participate, we should do the same. what he has just said is that the dems in the media look at impeachment like an unlimited game of corn hole or beanbag. as long as they can keep throwing it, there is no reason to start. -- stop, they are no consequences. there is a blackjack table playing with our money. there are consequences saying that we have to look and see when it is over and done with, which it will be, we have to look at the consequences and what are the abuses of powers that they are participating in right now, we have to figure out how to remove senators and congressmen. the threat to civilization is what they are doing right now. and the best part about this is common today, massive job numbers, record low unemployment, the best economy in my lifetime, and i'm like 35. good news for the dems, and good news for the media is kryptonite to them. you look at

"the story" posted by martha maccallum starts right now. >> martha: it does feel like a lot like christmas. good evening everybody. i martha maccallum in new york and this is "the story." today we went into the breach and this impeachment battle where the stakes could not be higher on both sides. he just likes to shakespeare's macbeth, struggling with the ramifications of killing duncan, he said if it were done, to well it were done quickly and that seems to be where the president's tonight in this chaotic juncture. the so-called grievance and others call it a sham. the president tweeting if you're going to impeach me, do it now. fast. president trump challenging democrats to do so and gets the country back to business. nancy pelosi, she is looking at dimensioning support from being impeachment in the swing states. she has well may want to do this and try to move on. >> today, i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment for the president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt, once again, the election for his own benefit. >> martha: time is not

"the story" hosted right down the hall by martha maccallum. >> martha: good evening, everybody. i'm martha maccallum in new york. this is "the story." strange day all around. impeachment in the morning, followed by a china deal, and a record close for the american market. boris johnson, a trump political sibling from across the pond scores a win not seen since margaret thatcher. but with all of that news, president trump is seething what he calls the cheapening of impeachment. >> it's a scam. it's something that should not be allowed. it's a very bad thing for our country. you are trivializing impeachme impeachment. i tell you what, some day there will be a democrat president and there will be a republican house, and i suspect they are going to remember it. >> martha: political website axios seems to agree, impeachment becomes another partisan instrument, that weakens its power as an emergency mechanism and it further polarizes the party. they went on the say generally that impeachment goes away, a government shutdown and supreme court fight, it becomes in essence another partis

"the story" with martha maccallum starts now. >> martha: good evening. we have less than 48 hours after former fbi director james comey took a victory lap claiming the ig report had proven that he was right about all of this all along. >> it was all nonsense and the fbi finally has its day with the american people in the hope -- i hope they pay attention. steel and fast-forward to today. the inspector general begs to differ. >> former director james comey said that your report vindicates him. is that a fair assessment? >> you know, i think the activities here. nobody. >> martha: today we have a chorus from unlikely places that cross fire hurricane, the investigation into the trump campaign in 2016 was anything but normal. "the new york times" called it "ugly, secretive, system for carrying out national security surveillance on american soil." referring to what happened to carter page. matt taibi wrote "if the report constitutes a clearing of the fbi, never clear me of anything. what a clown show the trump-russian investigation was." matt taibbi at rollin

at mount vernon itself, letters of condolence streamed in, in particular to martha. not all of these were some pathetic, sorry for your loss. some were very opportunistic. so, for example, a number of individuals writing martha to ask for locks of her deceased husband's hair, which sounds strange to us was pretty common in the 18th century and 19th century. one man claimed he had served with george washington and asked martha if she could write a pardon on his behalf to the governor of pennsylvania because he had been accused of steering a horse. they had not been able to find the real thief and only the widow of washington could save him from his unfortunate fate. she did not reply. now, with this resolution to move washington in the future, in 1799, this opened up the question about hero worship in early america. how would we venerated the memory of our past leaders -- how would we venerate the memory of our past leaders? public displays, statues, monuments or something that appears antithetical to the revolution, something like a pyramid shaped mausoleum? this was

i want to get your reaction, because martha did a wonderful interview. there is more of the interview that will air tomorrow night on fox, but we heard from the attorney general himself, what is one of your big takeaways or thoughts, from the attorney general that we get from you? >> the attorney general william barr has been given a significant task, we have not seen this in modern history, modern residential history. what i took away from it is when he said to him a look, this is not about criticizing the fbi, we know there are remarkable agents doing their best to protect us. but when you have a culture of corruption at the top of the fbi, when there is an obvious malfeasance at the fbi, they need to shed light on it, they need to route it out, and they need to hold people accountable. this is not a two-tiered system of justice, and it shouldn't be. another quick point, jason, people all over the world are looking to us now to see how we handle this, and how our system handles it. we have a great system. if it's allowed to work. i believe that durham

even though they said well, martha approved it. you know, different ritchts have different perspective on how the will should be interpreted. it sort of bioled down to, you know, virginians end to say washington is in a native state. he was a virginian. on. was a virge and members of the national government they like to argument well, don't you think delaware has much climb as george washington or individual. >> or new york or pennsylvania. so really this issue is it speaks to some of the decisions that are happening between political parties at different moment in time >> how did word get out? how did the word spread across d country. what was the reaction and how id people morn and grieve him. . it was a story that got picked p pretty quickly in the papers starting alexandria ga set. southward down to georgia. and pretty soon, i mean, would say within a week, americans knew that george washington was gone. and it fell realy to the local communities, the state legislatures to decide what types of morning ivet that you're going to

now, at mount vernon itself, letters of condolence streamed in to martha. not all of them were sympathetic, some of them were very opportunistic. for example a number of individuals were asking for locks of her deceased husband's hair, which sounds strange to us but what common in the 18th and 19th century. there was one man who claimed he had served with george washington and he asked if he could get a pardon because he had been accused of stealing the horse. they had not been able to find the real thief, and and only the widow of washington could save him from his unfortunate fate. she did not reply. now, with this resolution to move washington in the future in 1799, this opened up a new question about hero worship in early america. how would we venerate the memory of our past leaders? would it be things like education or would it be public displays of things like statues, monuments or even something that appears anthetical to the revolution, something like this mod the lamb, designed by this architect, one who actually designed the cater house. now, this

martha had technically given her consent and actually agreed to it. it was sort of a pipe dream of sorts. it was sort of a foregone issue. things had changed a lot politically. martinough they said approved it, different perspectives, how the will should be interpreted or the letters should be interpreted, it all boiled down to virginians tended to say that he was a virginian. they were really putting their stamp on who he was. members of the national like to argue, well don't you think delaware has as much claim as new york or pennsylvania? fishersue speaks to the happening in the political parties at different times. >> how did the word spread across the country that george washington had died? how did people grieved him across the country? >> the story got picked up pretty quickly in the papers. working its way northward to massachusetts and georgia. week, americans knew that george washington was gone. local communities and state legislatures to decide what type of activities they would do. one that sticks out is that there was a mock numeral, whe

could be released after martha's death.: i believe so, yes. host: so then after martha's death, they could be freed. what was the relationship between mary ball while thinking -- washington and martha washington? guest: there's some evidence it was not good. mary did not attend the marriage, but that could have been because of distance. attendary did not georgia martha's wedding? [over talk] guest: their wedding, yes i beg your pardon. on the other hand, one time washington wrote a letter to his mother-in-law, martha's mother, and said please come and visit us in mount vernon. we have lots of food, lots of visitors, lots of room, lots of music, you will have a great time. at the same time, he writes a letter to his mother to say don't visit us on mount vernon, there are too many people here, you won't like the food, there is not enough room, and the music is too loud. host: very clear how he felt there. guest: exactly. host: did mary ball washington ever go to mount vernon? guest: no. , before it wasce mount vernon, before

i live at 88 martha, which is a house and one across the street from the property at 95 nordhoff. i've been there since 1994, 25 years. the city is in a housing crisis. i think we all know that. you guys particularly are seeing every day. we are in a housing crisis for the foreseeable future. i'm not sure when it is going to end. but this is not the night to end it on our block. it's taking a block with housing that are separated with one to two-story houses over a garage and then forcing in something that's side by side three and four stories over a garage would be the wrong move in my opinion. i think that future generations look back on this neighborhood and say what happened here? everything else is in scale and this project is completely out of scale. and they go who approved this, project sponsors posed this? and this is the night where we can stop this madness from happening and send this project back to be a more scaleable design. my request to you is please consider sending this back for a scaleable design. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm steve, i'm

you can go around the country, martha mcsally is in a very difficulties position in arizona as well. this is very clearly -- joni ernst in iowa. people in the military can say what they want but voters will know they're lying if they say they think it's okay for congress to approve $400 million in military aid for a democratic ally who's been invaded by vladimir putin's russia and then to hold that up and to hold it up until you get campaign dirt or at least, at least actually not dirt, but an announcement of a pending investigation just to muddy him up. i mean, it's straight out of roy

i want to bring in martha raddatz for that. second naval attack in two weeks, martha. >> reporter: there was a sailor accused in the attack in pearl harbor in honolulu, hawaii. they've been on alert for a shooting like this. we have no idea whether there was any connection at all. it may be coincidental. there are about 20,000 people at that air station, about 16,000 families and military and the others are contractors there. think of this as a real community. it is where air training happens. it is the home of the blue angels but almost every aviator gets trained there, and air crew. >> martha, thanks. the navy is responding right now. they put out a tweet that i want to put on the screen right now. the active shooter is deceased. one additional fatality has been confirmed. unknown number of injured people being transferred to local hospitals. stephen ganyard, you were an aviator yourself. as martha said, this is the home. famous blue angels. >> it is, george. it's where all naval and marine aviators start their careers. it's

martha raddatz standing by. >>> and the incredible story of survival tonight. the father and his twin 4-year-old girls crashing down a 100-foot ravine. the 4-year-olds unbuckling themselves from their child seats on their own, crawling through shattered glass and up that ravine to get help. >>> good evening and it's great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. and we begin tonight with that deadly gun battle right outside new york city, killing a police officer and three innocent civilians trapped inside a store during the gun fight. the two suspects, the gunmen, are also dead tonight. s.w.a.t. teams and heavily armed vehicles rushing to the scene in jersey city, new jersey. police moving through the streets. the attackers holed up in that supermarket. clearing the way for some of those bystanders outside to get out of harm's way. some 30,000 children on lockdown for a time inside dozens of nearby schools, and tonight, that city already mourning that officer, a father of five. abc's adrienne bankert leads us off from the scene tonight. >> reporter: tonigh

meet martha morales.a wedding coming up, so i'm happy you're here 'cause i will need some help. lemonis: she's a 31-year-old single mom who started working on the strip as a game operator at circus circus when she was just 16. now she runs four businesses for caesars. so grab some. we're gonna sprinkle them. work back, all the way around. martha is the general manager of the 182-room nobu hotel. she's also in charge of an award-winning spa, a high-end hair salon, and, most important of all, she makes sure all the weddings at caesars come off without a hitch. how many weddings do you do a day? a day, we could do anywhere from three all the way up to, like, ten weddings. we host over 600 weddings a year. lemonis: at an average cost of $5,000 each, that's about 14 times the average cost of one of brendan's weddings. [ cheering ] let me just understand this. so, you wake up in the morning, and you have essentially four businesses to manage. yes. are they tight on money around here? [ laughs ] no, no. look, al

operationally things are smooth with significant process and the great news that martha shared about the progress there and we're excited about that. and we still want to make sure that the appropriate parties are held responsible for the delays that have taken place over the last ten, 11-month period of time but we're glad there's a significant momentum. we appreciate the presentation from high-speed rail and the synergy transportation plan expose there arplans andthere ay high-speed trains and pedestrian safety but the high-speed rail teams say they have that as a priority, as well. our cac gratitude goes out, again, to lewis zernoga and his associates from the sfcta peer review update. and it sounds like we'll hear some supportive, positive news from them, hopefully, regarding releasing funds and moving forward with the agreed upon plans up to the two-year milestone and we do have some concerns if we have recommendations regarding reorganizing the tgpa and the powers that be as far as that's concerned. so hopefully there's good thousands on that front. and the cac representing num
