mcconnell, lindsey graham as you heard earlier, mitt romney, marco rubio and then senator ted cruz, pat toomeyliz cheney in the house. former governor mike huckabee for crying out loud. this is nonsense. >> each one of those people owee reasons, the american people in this president an apology. if they justine the site. >> the only other issue i'd make, you want to friends, he is correct in his position. >> with 1000 troops? >> i'm not talking about 1000 troops. >> we have 1000 troops -. lou: they are in grave danger and in harm's way for no national security purpose whatsoever. >> he needs to get them out of there but not to be in a battle with his own side at this point in time. >> to hell with the fractious battle. it's enough putting it under the president. the president is right and history will prove him right, he campaigned on this -- >> i don't disagree with that but the next three or four months we have a tremendous a battle to go on with the democrats. >> to hell with politics. -- >> and arms way. >> to help with politics. >> if he is going to be attacked with the democrats he needs

mitch mcconnell, lindsey graham, mitt romney, marco rubio, ted cruz, pat toomey. that's the trip wire for breaking with donald trump, not the other stuff? to what do you ascribe this? >> these are the people who actually defeated isis on the ground. we didn't do it without them. we did it on their backs. so for the president to walk away from them after we spent all this time and effort defeating isis and them losing lives is completely outrageous. the only republican senator to defend donald trump is rand paul, and he's saying the same line as president, it's a barack obama line, which is end these endless wars, which is ridiculous. this is a war we didn't choose. >> just to momentarily take up the rand paul devil's advocate to both of you, you know, any u.s. withdrawal, even if done thoughtfully and with allies, it would be at some level betraying our allies. there are people we've worked with on the ground in afghanistan that if u.s. forces were to leave would be in a tough position. my worry is the dangers of that argument applies in all places of crept u.s. m

the-- pat toomey, in democratic congressman, they asked to have a bike ride?gressman said would you like to sponsor the race and maybe you can come ride in the race and i got testy and i said -- congressman, i have no interest in writing and your bike race or sponsoring it. i'm trying to get you to come together with the intent to solve this problem. my time in congress didn't go particularly well. are based out of pittsburgh, now. you were in binghamton. that's middle america, that direction. why is it the congress can't come together and get some problems fixed? as you point out, we can disagree but we can still fix problems together. we are sot know why divided on party lines. the house passed hr eight and it is sitting on senator mcconnell's desk. i would hope that he would bring it to the floor for a vote. it's not a real political issue right now. 90% of the people in the country favor expanded background checks, i don't know why we can't get this done together. in your book you talked about building this into a nationwide enterprise across the country.

mitch mcconnell, marco rubio, mitt romney, susan collins, pat toomey, all republican, all critical.ngressman adam kinzinger of illinois sits on the foreign affairs committee. congressman, thanks for being with us. >> you bet. >> why do you think the president has gone to the mat on this? why is he giving turkey such a pass? was it just an impromptu thing in a phone call with erdogan? >> i think it's all of it. i think the president makes very impulsive decisions on foreign policy. i think he made an impulsive decision without thinking through the results of that. i think erdogan somehow convinced him with stars in his eyes that he was going to be humane. and, you know, the reality of this is it's disgusting. it's sickening. it's sad. think about the fact that the kurds have taken 10,000 deaths in this fight against isis because we didn't want to put troops on the ground. so they did it for us. we, conversely, have lost 17 in combat throughout this whole campaign. we lost basically in iraq and afghanistan close to 7,000 people. so think about the impact that's had on the kurds, but t

mitt romney did, so did pat toomey of pennsylvania, ben sasse of nebraska.ven mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader. all of them seemed far and we are about the prospect of leaving syria than they ever do about illegal immigration or americans dying of sentinel ods. some of the angry senators cited vladimir putin as if it were somehow 1982 again and russia was the preeminent threat to american interests. the professional neocons, not surprisingly, there are a lot of them here, when completely bonkers, wilder even than they usually are. former speechwriter for bush suggested that president trump must be paying off turkey for covering up jamal khashoggi's murder in the saudi consulate in istanbul. wow. provided no evidence that this was true, but no one in washington asked for any evidence. they were too busy nodding along an agreement, yes, watch senator lindsey graham of south carolina for example get so worked up by the idea of americans leaving a foreign war zone, one thing that's never allowed, but he forgets to make any sense at all. >> if i didn't

you talk about mitt romney, susan collins, pat toomey, lis sa mur k -- lisa murkowski.impeachment this morning. here it is. >> in my view, it's time for me to stay silent on impeachment until the process is complete. if articles of impeachment come i'll review the facts before i make my decision. >> this is what we've heard i think from other republicans as well saying i might be a juror, i don't want to say anything, at least not publicly, right? >> since republicans do not feel comfortable with understanding the full terrain of what happened during the summer of 2019, what exactly president trump said, they now have retreated into this talking point that you heard from senator romney. they're going to be jurors in a possible trial in the senate and because of that fact, which is on the horizon, they want to step back and not comment on any of the details. this is a challenge for the white house because they want to see senate republicans go to the barricades in the same way house republicans are fighting for the president at this moment. >> so is the white house reach

there's no ron johnson, marco rubio, pat toomey to help drag trump across the line in the suburban voters in those places will say, hey, he's kind of offensive but had to go vote for the senate a candidate, i mights well vote a straight party ticket. >> you talked about electability fools gold. this is is where it's interesting with some like worn or bernie who has faded but we don't count out get -- like warren -- , in michigan trump ws by 10,000 votes and hillary clinton underperform barack obama by 200,000 votes. she just does not turn up college educated white women. she does not turn up black voters. if you have democrat who even performs at marginally better levels than clinton 16, 16, thn trump is in real trouble because it's hardd to see his ceiling g higher in aal state like michig. do disagree?at >> completely. that's like rerunning the last campaign. you can't rewrite the last campaign. it has noo bearing. we all know now if you're a republican or a center-right, you now have reason to vote for him that you didn't have before. before it was simply a lesser of two evils. now you

but we are also watching people like pat toomey of washington, someone who needs to be if he wants tonning in pennsylvania he is the kind of quiet senator along with rob portman of ohio who could be a problem for the white house if they feel like they cannot stick with this president. mcconnell's interesting. he gave a powerpoint presentation to a senator. he is taking the process seriously. you talk to house republicans on the phone, they say this is going to be a sham trial, it's fake news. then you talk to senate republicans and they say we have to be ready. >> it's so interesting to me that the sort of conventional wisdom and it's always wrong, has been that you'd never get 20. but i think what bob costa's reporting shows that it's a dynamic process. you don't know what you don't know because they don't know what they don't know. >> the white house hasn't given them any defense yet. >> but might that be because there isn't one? >> of course there is not. but the difference between the house and the senate, the house is filled with silly people like matt gaetz who will pick up the

pat toomey called it a threat to our national security. liz cheney described it as a atastrophic mistake, and itdsey graham said it's a shot tastrophic to the bad guys, devastating to the good guys. ton majority leader mitch mcconnell said it would increase the risk that isis and other connellst groups would regroup. >> the other popular opinion is regr do we leave? are we going to stay there when do forever? >> the fear is an attack by turkey could jeopardize the ansons controlled by kurds that turkey cghly 10,000 isis prisoners, about 2,500 of whom are dangerous foreign fighters. the white house said sunday hold urkey would take custody of foreign fighters after turkey said it would soon move forward pr homsident trump changed his tune n eeting if turkey does anything that i in my great and unmatched th wisdom consider to be off imits, i will totally obliterate the economy of turkey. there are roughly 1,000 troops in northeastern syria and the administration says for now there's no plan to leave altogether. ders morning cbs news has lear

and in the senate, the pact act by my good friend, ood pennsylvania senator pat toomey. and it passed in both the 114th and 115th congresses by unanimous consent. in the house, it currently has more than 300 bipartisan co-sponsors. i urge my colleagues to support the pact act so we can better protect our nation's animals from abuse and torture. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. deutch: mr. speaker, it's my pleasure to yield two minutes to the gentlelady from iowa. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. mrs. axne: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, representatives, for this bill. i'm very excited to be able to vote for it today. mr. speaker, i rise in support of the pact act and am grateful for the support that it has. as a long-time animal lover and advocate, somebody who worked to take care of the puppy mill issues that we've got in my own state of iowa, i know more than anybody that there's nothing like bringing animals to the forefront
