we are greatly concerned about -- >> shepard: mike emanuel, the chief correspondent live there for us this afternoon. >> it is pretty much what you would expect from corey lewandowski who is a no-nonsense pretty tough guy. loyal to the president. and basically the white house said coming into the hearing that the president was declaring executive privilege. so an easy out for corey lewandowski has been that you have to ask the president if you want an answer to the question when the democrats pressed him on specific matters. pressed him on specific matters of the robert mueller special report, republicans using corey lewandowski to make the case to the democrats on the panel saying it is time to move on from the russia probe, there was no collusion. so they should wrap this up and get on with other business that basically helps the american people. so basically what you would expect, i think from this type of witness and this type of hearing, a lot of politics. a lot of speechifying on pop next capitol hill, but republicans and democrats making their point, with the huge audie today.

>> harris: mike emanuel, thank you very much.nwhile, some democrats have admitted to axios that lewandowski hearing did nothing to galvanize support for president trump's impeachment. let's bring in jason rants, radio talk show host for ktth in seattle, washington. good to see you today. just looking at it as pure information yesterday, where the democrats able to move the needle and get more support to, even within their own ranks, for impeachment? >> i don't think so. i think it was a total disaster. at the end of the day you were supposed to get public opinion on your side, understanding that for the most part people are not watching much of what ended up happening. the average person isn't sitting down for hours and hours, they are getting these little sound bites here and there. and they didn't really have a sound bite. the democrats tried really, really desperately to get lewandowski to read from the mueller report, which was the same failed strategy against bobby wood. he refused to do it. so they didn't really have anythi

mike emanuel has more on the impeachment push. ed henry joins me with analysis. first, it's catherine herridge. catherine, sum it up for us. what is in this transcript? >> dana, good afternoon. this is the transcript. mine is marked at this point. it outlines the 30-minute phone call. about ten minutes in, president trump has two asks for the ukrainian president. one has to do with a cyber security firm and the other is a request to look into the allegations against joe biden and his son. the first key section reads "there's a lot of talk about biden's son, that biden stopped the prosecution and people want to find out about it. so whatever you can do with the attorney general will be great. biden bragged about stopping the prosecution. sounds horrible to me." the president continues, i will have mr. guliani give you a call and i'll also have attorney general barr call and we'll get to the bottom of it. i'm sure you will figure it out." what we found in the transcript, there's eight references by the president to his personal attorney, rudy guliani, who has been

mike emanuel has more from washington. . >> good evening, bret. president trump spoke to house republicans but it's clear the 2020 democrats were on his mind. the president was in baltimore at the house g.o.p. retreat and he said he went after elizabeth warren to early, suggesting she could beat vice president biden. he also threw the jab at the mayor of south bend, indiana. >> they said "buttigieg -- do believe the sky? he's doing a rotten job running his own city from a lousy job, but they say "buttigieg is two points up in the state of texas against president trump." i said "i don't think so." >> the president has been highly critical of the city of baltimore, calling it filthy and rat and rodent-infested. today the house g.o.p. leader defended the president ahead of his appearance in baltimore. >> if you want to take the president's comments, you can go to the former mayor of baltimore. you can go to what congressman cummings had said before as well. if these are challenges we want to see a change to end this is somethi

mike emanuel, have you seen it? have you been able to break it down for us? >> no, not at all, dana. it is here on capitol hill, but it is inside what is known as a scif here on capitol hill. a sensitive compartmented information facility. so you have members of the house and senate intelligence committees going in to get a look at this document, the whistleblower complaint, and get, you know, break it down a bit for themselves. but when they have been coming out they have said absolutely, positively nothing, which is pretty common when you have the committee members going into a facility they don't want to be caught talking on camera on the way out. bottom line it has been pretty stunning how quickly things have moved here. yesterday morning you had the speaker saying that something had changed, that it was a time for a formal impeachment inquiry. the president then said fine, you want the transcript of this phone call with the ukraine president? i will release it. then senate democratic leader chuck schumer said i want more than that i want the whistleblowe
