it's a big "new york times" night here at "the last word." we will begin with the "times" investigative report how donald trump blocked aid to ukraine until he got publicly caught blocking aid to ukraine. and later in this hour we will hear from "times" reporter jesse drucker who has co-authored the most valuable op-ed yet on tax cuts and how they kept pushing even after the law was passed to get the trump advisory to get taxes reduced even more than they intended to get those taxes reduced. this is so lost in the trump era because there is is to much novel corruption in the trump administration for journalists to pursue. but this story about the trumps' tax cuts and how they're working is an important story about how it has always worked in government, how this sort of stuff has always worked, how rich corporations never stop trying to turn tax law, especially, in their favor. this is the dirtiest version of that story that i have ever seen, and i used to work in the united states senate on tax policy. and i can tell you this is not a story o

is it in the newsroom of the new york times where you kind of, did you know each other?>> megan was very new at the paper and i saw this woman like in 2016, who i could tell was very submitted book because she was doing these difficult trump stories and as the stories were difficult, this was what was happening and i had two kids at the time and i knew what she was doing was not easy. but we didn't know each other well. we had only met a couple of times. megan was on maternity leave in the spring of 2017 when i started working on the weinstein story. as part of this question of the editors asked, are there other powerful men in american life who have perhaps abused women and covered it up? i was trying very hard to get people on the phone and engage them. getting these actresses phone numbers was like an investigation in itself. then there's the question of what you have them on the phone, what you actually do to earn the trust? and at first 40s five seconds that you know. i called megan for advice and she was in full on maternity leave. she had just set the baby down fo

but if you look at the reporting to "the new york times," it is seven of them. e are text messages which "the new york times" obtained, say things like hey, we have to be careful we don't slander the chief. just tell the truth. we have an obligation here. i found it very compelling all the way around. and i think what we have to ask ourselves, cory, is what is the impact after all of this? when the president invites chief gallagher to mar-a-lago and there are celebratory photographs of him there? at a minimum, chief gallagher is convicted of posing with a corpse. at a minimum, he's accused of much worse than that, although acquitted. my reaction is president trump, couldn't you invite real heroes, people that have not accused of war crimes, people that have not ended up posing with corpses and sending text messages like i got him with my hunting knife? there are so many great heroes in our u.s. military. that's who we ought to be talking about. if you want a counterveelg story, go watch loan survivor about lieutenant michael murphy, a navy seal, died in 2008, rec

he comes to the new york times and he says to you, you think i'm bad, i am worse.it's almost like he's waving a red flag door. it's almost like you are going to catch me. >> i think that's a good question. i think we could spend, we could have spent days or weeks or months trying to get to the bottom of it i'm going to tell you what we think is more important with the people around him. what were they thinking? how do they respond? what you do when you get a glance up promptly? especially his brother, bob weinstein who was his only sibling, somebody who had been in business with him, they found two companies were decades during the time he was involved in this alleged predatory behavior we came out of a story wanting to know, what did bob know? what did he do about it? he finally opened up the series of interviews and it's a very interesting psychology we saw time and time again. >> well, harvey did. my reading is, that was the turning. he crossed the line so there was a letter he sent in which he lays out the parade. >> and what we learned, a letter in 2015, two y

what's your reaction to this "new york times" reporting showing the president was very involved in this early operation to withhold the aid to ukraine? >> well, victor, first of all, happy new year. >> to you too. >> first "the new york times" article, assumiing its reportin is accurate, which has been pretty much the track record for "the new york times," kind of fleshes out, i think, a lot of the specifics particularly involving those in the immediate inner circle of the president, which i think will and in fact already has fueled the fire on the part of the democrats for the demand that these -- some of these people testify in the course of the senate impeachment trial. the other thing that bothers me, though, is reading through this, i couldn't help but think of the plight of the ukrainians who were desperately in need of this security assistance, which, you know, we've been providing to them since -- i don't know -- 2014 or 2015. so i couldn't help but think of that while all this palace intrigue is going on in the white house. >> there's the need for the ukrainians, but also there

interesting to see the new york times was take on the royal scandal and the way it describes it, to sayrince andrew is plastered across most of the front pages today following the bbc panorama programme. the times on its front page: this is information and data coming from the financial conduct authority. the uk's financial watchdog, as it were. no surprise to hear this at all. we've had store credit... store credit card complaints since about the i990s where people have complained about extortionate repayment fees or aggressive pushing at the tills by unregulated till assistance pushing people at the till to take out store cards. there have been various regulations over the years put in place to protect shoppers, but still some could be paying up to 29.9% interest and while at the point of purchase it doesn't seem a lot, for lots of people, especially young people who shop at places like next, which is named in the article, they wa nt to which is named in the article, they want to buy from their favourite stores and they think they're getting a deal or maybe spreading the cost but it's

"new york times" editorial board member mara gay. us, "new york times" political reporter nick confessori. with us from washington, former chief of staff at the cia and the department of defense jeremy bash. and from "the washington post" national security correspondent greg miller. greg, that story, if i read the whole thing on the air, i would have. take us through some of what "the post" is reporting today about trump, not just his belief in this russian conspiracy theory but have dug in he remains. >> i think the biggest revelation in this story and the newest piece of information is that, you know, trump explicitly told very senior advisers in his white house that his basis for suspecting ukraine had interfered in attempting to pin the blame for the interference in 2016 on ukraine came in part according to trump from something putin had told him. now i have to say that there is some sort of, you know, there is disagreement about whether putin ever actually said this. i have talked to some former administration officials who belie

let us look at the new york times story.ld trump's reaction to what happened in the training camp in pensacola. three very young officers shot dead. this isa very young officers shot dead. this is a very interesting story. terrible story down in pensacola, a saudi air force officer, he was being trained there, seems to have open fire on his classmates. what did president trump say? according to the new york times, their view is he was far too quick to take saudi's side, to try to protect saudi arabia without knowing enough about what had happened. so why did he do that? that is the question the new york times is trying to answer. they say that obviously saudi arabia and president trump have had a very close relationship, it's about oil, even though the us imports far less oil than it used to because of now shale oil and gas, but they are still close to saudi arabia and he wa nts to still close to saudi arabia and he wants to protect that. and of course they are the only regional power able to counter what iran is doing in th

let's start with the new york times. it looks at the 6—page letterfrom the new york times. 6—page letter from donald trump to nancy pelosi, speaker of the house of representatives. the new york times looks at the six elements within this letter they found to be untrue or whatever. regardless of doubt, this is a huge moment, a historic moment. donald trump will be the third president to be impeached if it were to happen today, and it is expected to happen. that's right. and it's interesting because he's going into this fighting steel. when we look back historically... that is his style, isn't it? it is just historically... that is his style, isn't it? it isjust what historically... that is his style, isn't it? it is just what we would have expected from donald trump, com pletely have expected from donald trump, completely different to other presidents who have been impeached and had a more apologetic approach to the date. but, no, trumpet goes down fighting and he says he is being portrayed as the victim and the enemy is determined to destroy him with false allegations —— tru

joining me now is the staff photograph fehr for the "new york times" who snapped the pictures and melissank you for being with us today. >> thank you for having us. >> erin, what was it like to have this front row seat of course to history and capture what a really fascinating ima images? >> it was an incredible eck appearance. we were really grateful to the lawmakers for opening up this process to us. and letting us see you know the long hours, the deliberations and a lot of hard work and serious worg on both sides. >> and marissa, let's talk about tran sparnsy here. how important is it for the american public to be able to see these images? >> extremely important. normally when you look at pictures of capitol hill and the impeachment process or anything going on in washington, you're seeing pictures that are pretty carefully choreographed and things the lawmakers want you to see so at the times, it's extremely important for us to double down on our visuals and show people what's happening behind closed doors and give them that nder view. >> that's what i was thinking. that on television

"the new york times" reporter david philips has exclusively obtained navy interviews with the s.e.a.l. team members who accused gallagher of misconduct in the first place. "the times" has published those interviews with the investigators and its tv series, "the weekly" has now published the video. what you're about to see shows them speaking on camera with investigators about their platoon leader eddy gallagher. and a warning what you're about to see and hear is disturbing. >> in the summer of 2019 we get leaked a trove of navy materials that includes thousands of documents, helmet cam footage, photos, text messages and all these confidential interviews with the s.e.a.l.s, stuff that no one has ever seen before. >> i heard more rumors and stuff like that of eddie like targeting civilians. >> i saw eddie take a shot at probably a 12-year-old kid. >> what was his official position? >> he was platoon chief. >> this massive leak gives us insight into a very secretive brotherhood of commandos that otherwise we would never get to see. >> the guy got crazier and crazier. >> you could tell he

absence in the remaining days before iowa. >> i want to move to something that was written in the "new york timesnd mentioned a second ago, david, as was put by "the new york times," the stirring of conscience in the senate, from the gop side, where some republicans may cross over or not. and at least vote to force witnesses, certain one, and might be requested and maybe wanted by democrats and maybe not by many of the republicans. >> that of course was a "new york times" editorial. so i think it was more wishful thinking than reality. so far, senator lisa murkowski of alaska is the only republican senator to indicate she might cross over. it doesn't mean that there wouldn't be others. we don't know if senator murkowski actually will do that. the ones we can look at would be of course be senator susan collins of maine, mitt romney from utah, perhaps a couple of others, but it would be a real affront to their leader, senator mitch mcconnell, who prides himself on keeping his troops in line. of course, they would also incur the twitter wrath of president trump, and his supporters, so they've got a

could on manafort and consulting business over there and leaking out and leaking out to "the new york timesfor the associate the press and others. for example, "the new york times" piece is very long has headlines like mysterious payments, it has offshore companies there's more, and more oh yes. there is a disputed invest m as ukrainian trying to the follow-up ukraine has more payments for trump aid. paul manafort ukrainian authorities under pressure to bolster assertion that secret show cash payments from a prorussia political partyer a marked for donald trump campaign register had some for millions of dollars russians did interfere with our election, in fact, the obama administration interfered with our election. the fbi the cia -- that fisa court interfere with our elections, the media interfere with our election. but so did the ukrainian government on the side of hillary clinton. here's another one, financial time, ukraine leaders campaign against proputin quote un, quote, trump they hated trurp and take trump out. wow he's another one the nation a hard left magazine full scope of ukrai

"the new york times" also reports that he and some friends, some saudi nationals, went to new york cityver the thanksgiving holiday and saw the rockefeller tree light and went to museums. the official who talked about this did not know the reason for their visit, but we are told that the friends, the saudi nationals, are being questioned right now and they are being cooperative. we are still trying to learn more details about that visit and perhaps the dinner party where he supposedly watched mass shooting videos. now, of course, when asked about all of this, national security adviser robert o'brien called this very troubling but, again, we are not hearing officially from the fbi and investigators the word terrorism. i want to remind folks that the uncle of the suspected shooter special to cnn yesterday and described his nephew as 21 years old. he said he was likeable and exceptional smart. he said that he saw no indication that he would have done anything like this. and that is very interesting because we also know that the u.s. government vetted him before he came to the united states

new york. thank you. joining me to talk about this is "new york times" editor barry weiss, the author of the book "how toight anti-semitism" and jane costin who covers white nationalism for vox among other topics. barry, this is a sensitive question, but do you think the reaction by the politicians and the media would be any different if these attacks were committed by white supremacists instead of who they were committed by? >> i do. and the reason for that is because it took a man walking in with a machete the size of a broomstick for there to be public outrage during the holiday of hanukkah. remember when he walked into the rabbi's house in monsey, new york, not 30 miles from where i'm sitting right now, there had already been nine hate crimes against jews in new york city and brooklyn that week. three weeks ago what there was a attack in jersey city that attacked a kosher market and i went there the day after the attack and viewers don't know this i'm from the synagogue in pittsburgh that was attacked, tree of life, attacked about a year ago to the day and to that case there was a outpouring of commu

actually, that came from "the new york times." te conspiracy theory came up of "the new york times." >> melissa: but then "the wall street journal" has a group of kick butt reporters. >> i would say that we are into the full nickname's season again. you know the campaign is in full swing when we are handing out titles. >> michael mike because he has the energy of somebody who's had some nyquil. >> kennedy: i won't think he would have as many unnatural as joe biden. bloomberg is 78. we are a year away from election day. i don't know how that lovely fruit -- >> his jerkiness will come out though. >> that's a problem, he's already pulling at 6%. >> how does bloomberg -- can i bring it back to topic for a second? how does bloomberg the news organization get out of this because now they've been lucky in it for a while. they have to say the only way is take the cuffs off and say, we made a bad choice. we will allow them to castigate everybody and that's the only way that we can stop what should be a lot of bleeding as the reporters leave

eleanor randolph worked at the new york times editorial staff 20 years or so. what kind of editorials would you write, what was your specialty? >> i wrote about city politics and state politics. it is controlled by the state. it's hard not to write about state politics. >> host: if you text a question or comment you can text that to 202-748-8003. we will take those with stanley who is calling in from bloomfield hills, michigan. >> caller: hello. anyway i was in favor of what mister bloomberg is doing. what he has done at johns hopkins university and see to it student debt was reduced and seeing to it there is a better system of healthcare and have suggestions in that direction too, some medical care by going back to not-for-profit circumstances and he will be a marvelous president, he knows how to do it, knows how to handle google from new york or whatever they do. >> host: thank you, stanley. what did you hear from the viewer? >> guest: what is interesting about what he was saying as i always thought of michael bloomberg as the public health mayor and public h

according to "the new york times," when another aide mark funds.ater questioned if new questions also emerging about the shadow diplomacy by the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani that appears to go beyond ukraine. "the washington post" reports rudy giuliani held a back channel talk with venezuela's nicholas maduro last year and trying to address a line between trump and the venezuelan leader and coaxing maduro into abdicating power. sources say giuliani attempts were dismissed by then bolton with a former senior administration official telling the post, white house officials did not understand why giuliani was even involved in venezuela policy. the white house tonight also facing heightened foreign policy challenges in the middle east. an iranian backed militia vowing retaliation after attacks some response to the killing of an american contractor last week. >> today what we did was take a decisive response that makes clear what president trump has said for months and months and months, which is that we will not stand for the islamic republic of iran to take actions to put a

president trump is under new scrutiny tonight after "the weekly"'s documentary series from "the new york times" obtained videotaped interviews from the navy investigation of gallagher's conduct. we'll warn you what you're about to see and hear is disturbing. >> the guy got crazier and crazier. >> reporter: in 2018 one after another navy s.e.a.l.s expressed grav concerns about their platoon leader eddie gallagher. >> you can tell he was perfectly okay with killing anybody. >> they are going against this unwritten rule of not taking dirty laundry outside of the s.e.a.l.s. >>reporter: in navy tapes obtained by "the weekly," they accuse gallagher of targeting civilians, women and children. >> i saw eddie take a shot at probably a 12-year-old kid. >> it turned into the platoon being eddie's personal sniper escort to get him from place to place so he could try to do sniper ops >> reporter: team members saying they would intentionally fire shots to warn iraqi civilians. >> other snipers would shoot so they would run away and hide before eddie would engage them. >> they were trying to protect the civi

. >>> but we begin tonight with the exhaustive reporting from "the new york times." the inside story of the 84 days between one trump first asked about the military aid to ukraine and when he finally agreed to actually release it. it includes new details of shocked aides trying to piece together a legal justification for withholding that money. cabinet secretaries trying to change trump's mind and early warnings of how damaging the plot could be. one aid writing in june that congress would, quote, become unhinged if they learned about that scheme. "the times" also revealing white house chief of staff mick mulvaney would leave the room whenever trump talked to rudy giuliani, raising questions about whether he himself had doubts about giuliani's actions and the defense he later offer to have had scheme. watch this. >> what you just described is a quid pro quo. it is funding will not flow unless the investigation into -- into the democratic server happened as well. >> we do -- we do that all the time with foreign policy. >> all the time with foreign policy. that reportin

he seeks the validation he wants from the "new york times," which he calls the "failing new york times" now. because they have not given him that puffball of the story that he wanted on the presidency. but again, he was not elected king, he was elected president of the united states. people's right to free speech and power of assembly and protest, president trump like all presidents has endured those first amendment freedoms. it is not always pleasant to be on the other end of that. but it is the role of the press to be critical, to question things for the american people, that is what the will of the press is. susan: let's put a ribbon around this conversation today. when we look back across our entire history of relationships between the presidents and the reporters, journalists covering him sometimes, hack newspapers depending on the era we are in. what are the important takeaways people should have about this relationship, how it has worked, and how it has benefited society? patty: i think the important part would be for the president to be respectful of the press, and respect the

trump: i am entitled to one good story in "the new york times." i started off, i ran against very smart people. a lot of them. >> he said it a few times. >> i just think i am entitled to a great story from "the new york times." i have done something nobody has ever done. susan: this was the podcast the "new york times" created after their coverage. what do you hear in the president's voice there? patty: i am entitled to something nice from my hometown newspaper. -- saidittle sad stop he seeks the validation he wants from the "new york times," which he calls the "failing new york times" now. people's right to free speech and power of assembly and protest, president trump like all presidents has endured those first amendment freedoms. it is not always pleasant to be on the other end of that. he has imbalances on him. but it is good of the press to be critical, to question things for the american people, that is what the will of the press is. -- that is what the role of the press is. susan: let's put a ribbon around this conversation today. when we lo

i haven't read the full "new york times" story.ons between secretary pompeo and the president are private. i wouldn't comment about them, they are between the two of them, that is the secretary's job to advise the president. i have no clue if there is any accuracy to the story. i haven't read it. it is just not true that the aid didn't go to ukraine. we all know it did. >> mike: here is that secretary pompeo told fox today about the precision defensive strike on five targets in iraq and syria. >> took a strike at an american facility. president trump has been pretty darn patient, he has made clear at the same time that when americans lives were at risk, we would respond, that is what the department of defense did yesterday. >> mike: morgan, are you worried about retaliation? >> we are obviously concerned by the activities that the iranian regime pursued around the world and in the middle east, and we think, we spoke this weekend, at the trump administration spoke to the iranian regime in a way they will understand. secretary pompeo

lemire, white house reporter for the associated press, annie karni, white house reporter with the "new york times," and jeremy peters, political reporter also with the "new york times." good evening and welcome. jonathan lemire, forgive the apparent cynicism. was this just another week for the white house or did this feel perhaps different? >> i think we need to keep this in perspective that this is different. this president now becomes only the third ever -- poised to become the third ever to be impeached. it's one of those moments where we all believe we know the outcome. next week the house controlled by democrats will impeach him. we'll move into early next year and the republicans in the senate will not move to remove him. but that doesn't change what matters here. the president in the oval office today angrily denounced what happened, saying it's an embarrassment for the country, suggesting the nation was laughing at washington for doing this. also tried to spin a political win, echoing what his campaign staff said yesterday in a briefing to reporters, that state of play of the 2020 race, s

back to the point our media is driving us headlong into possible severe health risks and yet the new york times is running with that lines like this the 5 g. health hazard that isn't and lucky for us consumers the new york times has no conflict of interest on this topic at all they are not receiving millions of dollars for any 5 g. connected corporation and if they were are i'm sure some television shows would be talking about it this is the 2nd page of the new york times from this week but see . giant 5 g. ad right there of 4th of the page so it's called giant 5 g. rising advertisement let's go oh about page giant 5 for i just advertisement oh let's go down the page giant one for the page 5 g. the dr jasser guys right. guy has a real anger issue. take it down a notch. let's get to our final most censored story of the year u.s. oil and gas industry has the potential to unleash the largest burst of new carbon emissions in the world through 2050 according to a report from oil change international report says new u.s. oil and gas development could enable a 120000000000 tons of new carbon pollution

do you feel that as the "new york times" that because a lot of people don't listen to the "new york times" reporting simply because they say you don't understand my life so why should i believe what you report do you think you have to culturally get the "new york times" as in touch with manhattan and brooklyn as they are in raleigh, missouri >> i have to say it's odd for me to be called the elite i grew up in a poor neighborhood in new orleans, louisiana and had never been outside of louisiana, mississippi until i was 17-years-old whenever i go home my family teases me i'm now considered one of the great leaders of the elite. i do think, however, we have to do a much better job, i agree with marty said understanding the forces of people in america that maybe are not as powerful in new york or los angeles we have to do a better job covering religion. we have to do a better job understanding why some people support donald trump i agree with marty, we can't dismiss everybody that supports donald trump. i think we have to get out in america much more than we do and talk to people and sort of

. >> and, jeremy, according to "the new york times," a democratic congressman from new jersey, jeff van drew is thanning an event at the white house possibly in a couple of days. what do you know about this? >> reporter: well, sources are telling us congressman van drew, a democrat from new jersey is expected to switch parties and become a republican at some point soon over this impeachment inquiry. now, van drew had voted against opening the impeachment inquiry and signaled he would vote against impeaching president trump unless some new shocking revelation were to come about and now van drew actually met with president trump yesterday at the white house and the president himself urged van drew to switch parties and become a republican, but that isn't the end of it. we're told now our congressional correspondent is hearing house democrats or several democrats have been urging van drew not to switch parties and urging him to stay a democrat and remain in the party but the congressman is nonetheless already taking flack including from new jersey's democratic governor phil murphy who writ

freshman congressman dean philips of minnesota recently told "the new york times," quote, i was one ofm. i thought it was time for new leadership, and i've got to tell you thank goodness -- thank goodness we have nancy pelosi speaking for the house of representatives because i do not think there is a better more qualified, more principled person for these circumstances. these circumstances include an impeachment inquiry and a vote to approve two articles of impeachment against president trump. and now pelosi is holding those articles until at least after the winter recess and denying trump of a quick and complete exoneration in a senate trial led by mitch mcconnell. >> we have legislation approve bide the rules committee that will enable us to decide how we will send over the articles of impeachment. we cannot name managers until we see what the process is on the senate side. so far we haven't seen anything that looks fair to us, so hopefully it will be fair. >> now, when we come back we're going to take a look at nancy pelosi's impeachment strategy and how she stood up to the presiden

those imprisoned there now the international consortium of investigative journalists and the new york times both say they have troves of classified documents to work with reportedly leaked from within china's communist party. both organizations say the documents prove the internment camps are not about reeducating extremists or fighting terrorism as beijing would have the world believe but to indiscriminately imprison and brainwash sin jan's muslim population in response china has borrowed a phrase or 2 from off shore calling the leaks fabrications and fake news but as new evidence emerges beijing's narrative is proving increasingly difficult to defend our starting point this week those classified documents on the camps in sin jack. it's exceedingly rare for classified chinese government documents to come to light the last time there was a leak of this kind was to my knowledge in 2001 with the leak and that. this is an unprecedented. because the chinese government under the ruling comes already have been one of the most secretive entities around the world. this new documents piece narrative

standoff over the president's impeachment trial hangs over washington, there's new reporting by the "new york times's raising additional red fla about president trump's decision to freeze aid to ukraine. let's break analysts including correspondent who broke that story, mark, with us. your reporting is shedding new light what was going on behind the scenes with the president and administration, as he was choosing to freeze this military aid, almost $400 million to ukraine. what are the details? >> one of the things lost in the impeachment hearings is how this began and what was the origin of the aid freeze. you have a lot of officials hearing about it second-hand and who ordered it behind the scenes. one of the things we unearthed was an e-mail from mick mulvaney to his staff, the president wants to know can we do this and so can we? the e-mail response is, yes, but it won't be pretty. expect congress to become unquote unhinged. that was an understatement, of course. the president got impeached about part of this. it shows there was early warning what might happen if the aid was frozen and one of t

"the new york times," they are the ones cutting down all the trees.s wasting the paper! they don't get the chance to lecture us. we should be lecturing them.

it faded from some of the leading papers like "new york times." oliver darcy here to discuss this. s coverage? >> it is baffling. wednesday, the house judiciary committee was the fourth time in u.s. history debating articles of impeachment against the u.s. president. if you tuned into the evening news on that day, it wasn't in the top three stories. there were no impeachment stories in the top three stories in either of the broadcast news networks, not cbs, nbc, abc. they put the arctic blast ahead of the impeachment story which is mind boggling. if you tuned into "new york times" the next day, look at the front page and took a glance, you wouldn't see any impeachment stories. >> why is it, do you think, just fatigue? >> i don't know. >> playing to their audience? >> awoke from a coma, catch the evening news wednesday, the front page of "new york times" in a coffee shop the next morning, you probably would have no idea the president of the united states for the fourth time in u.s. history is facing articles of impeachment. i can't explain it. i think maybe there's perhaps just a num

always the washington journal and the new york times. yone knows abc and nbc, they are all very very biased against conservatives and republicans. host: we just did an hour with an editor from breitbart news. that is clearly another source. i am trying to figure out where you see the agenda. i respect your point of view. people look at this from different perspectives and we are in a highly partisan political atmosphere. we welcome all points of view but i'm trying to figure out what we are doing or not doing. example, howas an much coverage have you given to reporting that the bidens were in corruption? both of them? eventually. out there has been money laundered link directly to the bidens from ukraine. why isn't there any reporting on that? why isn't there reporting from c-span about the lack of fairness in the impeachment hearings by the house democrats? it is a total disgrace, the fact that they did not allow any of the republicans to bring witnesses to counteract what was being lied about by the witnesses from the democrats. one of

like, i was talking about the new york times during the holocaust come about as a fact that is not reported much time as you might imagine, and yet your spiritual man, you're very kind man, i set up just met you, your decent man and the things i've read about you, gentlemen like you, pastors of large evangelical churches, is a complete mismatch. >> yes. mark: what do you make of that. >> the bible has a verse that i've never had difficulty fulfilling and that is beware when all men speak well of you. the bible says blessed are you when men rely on you and persecute you and say all men are evil against you. my name's sake, great is your reward in heaven, the fact is my assignment on earth is to speak the truth and i will answer to god for what i have said and what i refuse to say, to see evil and not call it evil is evil. not to speak is to speak. not to act is to act, and god will judge me based on what i do and don't do based on what the word of god says i am to do. but i will assure you, when i started reaching out to the jewish people, forget about the new york times, there were christia

and recently told the "new york times" quote, i was one of them. ght it was time for new leadership and i have to tell you thank goodness, thank goodness we have nancy pelosi speaking for the house of representatives but i do not think there's a more qualified, more principaled person for the circumstance circumstances. the circumstanceinis include articles of impeachment and denying trump a quick and complete exoneration of a senate trial led by mitch mcconnell. >> we have legislation approve bide the rules committee that will enable us to decide how we will send over the articles of impeachment. we cannot until we see what the process is on the senate side. so far we haven't seen anything that looks fair to us. so hopefully it will be fair. >> when we come back, we're going to look at nancy pelosi's impeachment strategy and how shed to. s impeachment strategy and how shed to. frustrated that clean clothes you want to wear always seem to need an iron? next time try bounce wrinkle guard dryer sheets. just toss it in the dryer to bounce out wrinkles.
