mcgovern: no, i do not. mr. cole: i ask unanimous consent that the debate time on huelings 660 be expanded to four hours -- the speaker pro tempore: the the gentleman has yielded for debate only. the gentleman from massachusetts would have to yield for that request. mr. cole: i want to begin by echoing my friend's words. it's a sad day for all of us. for me personally, i'm sure for all my colleagues on the rules committee, and for the institution as a whole. today's resolution sets forth a process for impeaching the president of the united states. it's not a fair process, it's not an open process. it's not a transparent process. but instead it's limited and a closed process with a preordained outcome. impeachment of the president is one of the most consequential acts that the house of representatives can do. it should only be done after the fullest consideration and yet over the last month, without a vote and only the speaker's say so, the committees have been engaged in a closed impeachment inquiry in what amou

the all democratic presidential candidate joe biden held a top position but former cia officer ray mcgovern thinks the democrats have made a most of miscalculation in trying to impeach mr trump in such a way. it's a big mistake this is all political game here in washington it's a big mistake for the democrats to circumscribe their their inquiry each mini tory to the you create a problem what it's like to stand out well. joe biden is out of the running as far as i'm concerned there's so much dirt on joe biden i just wonder what more dirt president truck was trying to dig out so as the stage become revealed it's going to be also revealed that the people talking to the democrats here have been in touch with these other people like the whistleblowers so-called and they internet and working for the deep state brennan and others and so you know the thing's going to

mcgovern: are we ready? so, this is a sad and somber time in the history of the united states of america. for the fourth time in our history, we are compelled by allegations of presidential wrongdoing, so serious we are engaged in an impeachment inquiry. none of us ran for impeachment inquiry, but we have put into place a fair series of .rocedures these procedures are guided by the precedent congress set under previous impeachments and guarantee protections for the president and his counsel that were not presley provided during prior impeachments and lays out a process so the american people can hear about the alarming allegations about president trump's abuse of power. i'm proud of the resolution we put together. i believe it will withstand the test of time. i'm proud of the work of the rules committee. and even though it got somewhat contentious last night, i'm proud of the way all members, democrats and republicans, conducted themselves. there was no live streaming. nobody stormed the committee, nobody se

well, it started in the early 1970s with senator mcgovern.n was the democratic party nominee. he ran on an antiwar platform. he excited the base. democrats were happy that he was in it, that he was the nominee. he represented the progressive agenda of the democratic party. well, in 1972, when that progressive senator mcgovern went to a general election against nixon, nixon mopped the floor with this guy in 49 states. he won 49 states against mcgovern, and it is to this day the largest electoral and popular vote victory in the history of the united states. so you can't throw away the argument of electability totally, but i don't think you need to lead with it either. >> okay. so, daniel, maybe can't lean on it entirely here, but the monmouth electability ratings we have here dropped after biden, warren and sanders. so i want to ask you about these numbers. do other candidates still at this stage have a shot to break into that top tier for the perception of electability? i mean, is there a shot here? i know we have a couple more debates to go b

mcgovern, process leads to substance. when you screw up the process thaw are looking for an answer that you already determined. notice what they have done. we are putting it in adam schiff's purview but i want to go to the committee that has been the committee of impeachment. and the impeachment committee should be the judiciary committee. if you want to do this right, madam speaker, do it right. do not lie to the american people and say these procedures are the same as nixon and clinton. i challenged the rules chairman if you want to have that argument, give us plenty of time i will win. why? because we are right. 900 precedents in clinton and nixon, i saw eight pages the other day. i saw things they are saying that adam schiff's committee gets to continue the process without presidential involvement and scrutiny or anything of fairness or bipartisanship and any way that we saw in others. how can they stand before you and when you talk to them in a little bit, ask them how is it fair and then get it to a judiciary commit

mcgovern. process leads to substance. when you screw up the process, that you're looking for an you've already determined. notice what they've done. we're only putting it in adam right now.rview we've already heard how that's unprecedented. i want to go to the committee has always historically been the committee of impeachment. and the impeachment committee the judiciary committee. if you want to do this right, then madam speaker, do it right. do not lie to the american people and say, these procedures put up are the same as nixon and clinton. i challenge the rules chairman today to say if you wanted to argument, now, i'll have that argument. give us plenty of time and i'll guarantee you we'll win. why? because we're right. 900 precedents, in clinton and nixon -- i saw eight pages the other day. i saw things that they're only saying adam schiff's committee now gets to do whatever they want, continue the process without presidential involvement, without presidential scrutiny, without anything else, fairness or bipartisansh

they established what became the mcgovern frazier reform. most important part of the reforms was that the delegates had to be named and selected prior to the primary in those states. what we saw was that the primaries were being bound and linked to the delegate selection process. >> if you win as a delegate, you are bound to vote for the candidate you are elected for. dr. brown: yes. it is still an interesting thing in that the parties tinker with delegate selection processes. different states are awarded different numbers of delegates. the democrats also insured in their reforms that there was a broader diversity of delegates. they did put affirmative action, put quotas. the democratic party, the delegates have to be divided evenly in terms of women and men. it has to have a representative sample essentially of minorities. if there's 40% of the population in the state are minorities, that delegation better have something close to 40% of its delegates going to the convention be minorities. >> political junkies and reporters would love the id

ok appreciate it ray mcgovern is my guest former cia analyst thank you. for. my pump. provoked outrage by announcing a reversal of a decades old stance on israeli settlements in the west bank he said that they did not necessarily violate international law the settlements on territory occupied by israel since the 6 day war are all the most contentious issues in the conflict between israel and palestine. the u.s. administration has lost its credibility to play any future role in the peace process we regard washington's decision as another step aimed at collapsing the system of international law regulating the middle east and thus further straining israeli palestinian ties settlements in occupied palestine are a blatant violation of international law and un security council resolutions they're an illegal action that will kill 2 state solution jordan's position in condemning them is unwavering we warn against dangerous consequences of the us change of position on settlements on middle east peace plan all settlement activity is illegal under international law and it erodes

for more on this we can cross live it is former cia officer ray mcgovern ray thanks for being with us here on r.t. international. so how significant is this admission by ambassador saw and it is a significant change in fact many say it's a complete reversal does this create more problems for the white house. well not really simon is just aware that they're probably his messages have been compromised or that he's been monitored he's just trying to correct the record it's a big mistake this is all a political game here in washington to big mistake for the democrats to circumscribe their their inquiry their pietschmann a story as to the ukraine problem what effect does that have well. joe biden is out of the running as far as i'm concerned there's so much dirt on joe biden i just wonder what more dirt president trump was trying to dig out so as these things become revealed it's going to be also revealed that the people talking to the democrats here newness i mean not new news but the fellow who's running the thing is that the intelligence committee. that those people 'd have been in touc

there was no connection between the break-in or the president nixon was soundly reelected beating mcgovernslide. the election had one of the lowest turnouts in history. >> if the american left had figure for that call for progress to brand name the people as opposed to say that little-known senator george mcgovern to be the nominee with that legacy of chappaquiddick with all of the assets 1972 could've been a very different election. >> the direction of the united states would have been very different. >> that because kennedy was sidelined by his own behavior he wasn't there and no other candidate stepped forward could galvanize the traditional democrats to bring them together so nixon won in a landslide. >> the second term continued with the reporting from bob woodward from the washington post brought the scandal right to the doors of the white house. >> people have to know whether their president is a crook. i'm not a crook. i have earned everything i have done. >> in addition to his involvement congressional committees one member asked the question was massachusetts senator kennedy. >>

mcgovern: by direction of the committee on rules i call up house resolution 660 and ask for its immediate considering. the speaker: the clerk will report the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 66, 0 resolved that the permanent select committee on intelligence, the committees on financial services, foreign affairs, the judiciary, oversight and reform, and ways

so did george mcgovern, al gore sr. sat there and many others. this desk represents the figurative torch you are carrying for these progressive senators that came before you. what was that like when you realized you would be sitting in that desk? >> well, it was pretty exciting. it started off this way. the freshmen senators choose last where we're going to sit. there were ten desks left of the ten freshmen. there are no bad seats. so i heard that senators carved their names in desk drawers so i pulled out three or four drawers. this desk said mcgovern. just said kennedy. i said, ted, walk over. i said which brother's desk is this. he said it's got to be bobby's because i have jack's desk. it does represent the power that my belief and the power of government to make people's lives better. that's what hugo black did, that's what bobby kennedy did. that's why i wrote this book, to emphasize the importance of progressive change. >> it's fascinating. thank you so much. what a pleasure to have you on. i really appreciate it. >> thanks for the show yo

-china those trade headlines, let's bring in .arah mcgovern -- mcgregor is this about who controls thearrative? have had known there might been a rollback on some tariffs, it seems like china is insisting that they are agreeing. sarah: it is true. did come fromnt china earlier today. we did have a u.s. official confirming there is talk of rolling back the tariff. there are a lot of if's. it is a significant comment to make. a lot of people were asking, what will trying to get out of any phase one deal? we know what the u.s. wants and what they are demanding. china's number one demand of course is for these tariffs to be rolled back. the existing ones could be repealed. it would be pretty significant and suggest the fact that this is what will potentially keep china at the table to wrap up these talks. we are kind of on hooks for when can they sign, where will they sign? you're seeing a strange reaction that suggest either it is priced in or there is still a fair amount of uncertainty about whether this all comes to pass. sarah: absolutely. the trade war has been a roller coaster for th

. >> here's how jim mcgovern explained the impeachment inquiry rules today. >> this resolution providestions for the president than what presidents nixon and clinton received. and just like under nixon and clinton in the judish yer kmaty the president's council and submit additional testimony or evidence to consider. the president can attend all hearings or raise objections. they can question all witnesses. >> joyce, what's your reading of the rules of these public hearings? >> well, they are very fair, lawrence. this is a set of rules that gives the president and his lawyers a lot of visibility into the investigative part of these proceedings. as you pointed out earlier the house finds itself in the unusual position of not having had a potential counsel, not having had investigators to assemble an investigation. so they're having to do that themselves, and typically in these proceedings targets are subjects of an investigation and don't get to see what's going on. here the president will. i expect we'll still hear more complaints from the republicans about process, though. >> ron klain
