pelosi: he did not. is int know what that interest to his behavior, but that was not a subject that was brought up at all. reporter: madam speaker, leader mccarthy came to the microphone after you left, he said after you left there were some democrats who remained, and he described the meeting after you left as productive, and by the way saying that somehow you managed to make the meeting political and more about the way you and the leadership were being treated. ms. pelosi: maybe that's what he thought when i said the house of representatives voted 354-60 against the president's policy. maybe he considered that political. but i don't didn't have any , intentions of -- mr. hoyer: i have worked with leader mccarthy and tried to be constructive because he tries to , be constructive. but i don't consider him an objective source of information on president trump. reporter: what does president trump's behavior toward you mean about working with him on usmca and other things? do you still work with him? ms. pe

pelosi: i would say this. i think it's a very sad commentary on the president of the united states that he doesn't have enough confidence in what he's doing to listen to other points of view, especially the overwhelming vote of the house of representatives. and have some level of respect for that. nd again, he behaved accordingly. does that mean we can't have future meetings? no. just depends on the subject, i guess. does it mean we can't pass things together? yes, we can, we will. because that's -- because he will never be a deterrent for us to do what is right for the american people. but there has to be some level of value, of calmness, of patriotism, a love of our not ry and our system, and a personal invective because he didn't like the way a vote went on a given day. i'm going to end where i began. we praised our troops and the wonderful work they have done. very praiseworthy. we documented how well they have protected the american people from isis. so we thank them for that. i conveyed that to the chair

speaker pelosi: yes. reporter: public testimony and -- that's right.: reporter: i'm curious, how will the etermine and when future progress, including when the president will have counsel the road ntation down during articles of impeachment? speaker pelosi: you know what, the is a matter for committee. we have rules of the house to govern all of this. re -- but i t's think it's really important to reiterate the following. the process the house is going right now would be the equivalent of a special counsel in case of whatever the name was time. jaworski. some before you were all born. nixon. hey had prosecutors who were doing the investigation, and they were not doing that in the public domain. is the part where we gather evidence and as i said to over, if ent over and you have some -- i said this to other day floor the that we made our announcement the proceeding with inquiry that we've asked for your taxes. to hide, e nothing show us your taxes. we asked for accounting. hide, shownothing to us that. tha

communists and -- speaker pelosi: and it might make you happy. >> when he started calling speaker pelosi a third rate politician -- ms. pelosi: i said i wish you were a politician, mr. president. then he would know the art of the possible. mr. schumer: some of the other members stayed behind. they wanted questions. i waited a moment. i wanted to ask him about intelligence reports on the turks and syrians regarding isis. speaker pelosi: we expressed our concerns that we had been asking for all member briefing, that means bipartisan, a briefing to the house of representatives on what is happening in syria, and it was scheduled for tomorrow, but they canceled it, so that was part of our question. why are you not briefing all of the members of congress? mr. schumer: thank you, everybody. announcer: house leader mccarthy also answered, before taking questions from reporters. mr. mccarthy: just been in a meeting. i see a pattern of behavior with speaker nancy pelosi. storms out of another meeting, trying to make it unproductive. the other democrat stayed and had a productive meeting, the gener

nancy pelosi needs help fast. there is either something wrong with her upstairs, or she just plain doesn't like our great country. she had a total meltdown in the white house today. it was very sad to watch. pray for her. she is a very sick person. now, what i want you to remember here is that he is already rattled by the very swift expansion of the impeachment inquiry and the continuous march of officials to capitol hill to testify about his controversial phone call with ukraine's president that i just talked about with chris, the one urging him to dig up dirt on joe biden. so he's already seething at the house speaker, and he is likely seething at republicans who voted to rebuke his decision to withdraw u.s. forces, thereby abandoning the kurds and leaving them open to attack by turkey, their mortal enemy. and we know when trump is cornered, he goes on the attack. >> he was insulting, particularly to the speaker. she kept her cool completely, but he called her a third-rate politician. he said that there are comm

pelosi: and it might make you happy. ms. pelosi: i said i wish you were a politician, mr. president, then you would know the art of the possible. >> republicans -- mr. schumer: some of the other members stayed behind, they wanted questions. i waited a moment, i wanted to ask him about intelligence reports on the turks and syrians guarding isis. ms. pelosi: we also expressed our concern that we had been asking for a an all-member, that means bipartisan, briefing to the house of representatives on what is happening in syria and it was scheduled for tomorrow , but they canceled it. so that was part of our question too. why are you not briefing all the members of congress? mr. schumer: thank you, everybody. mr. mccarthy: just been in a meeting. i see a pattern of behavior with speaker pelosi. she storms out of another meeting, trying to make it unproductive. the other democrats stayed and had a productive meeting. the general from the joint chiefs, the secretary of defense, and the president in this meeting stated what his number one goal is, to make sure america is safe. we t

speaker pelosi: "this" being what? >> the usmca. speaker pelosi: no. obviously, we are passed a yes. -- we are not yes.path to at some point, it is either yes or no. we either have enforcablility or we don't. but i am hopeful that we will, and i am hopeful that it will be soon. >> any deadline? speaker pelosi: no. we have a good working relationship. believe me, the quiet you hear is progress. it goes back and forth and over this break, the stats are between the two trade reps and the negotiators, who are seeking clarification and where there is room for collaboration and where we have more challenges. but it is going in a forward direction, so we are very pleased wiht that, because we are trying to find common ground with the president. he always wanted this and we do too. let's just find our common ground. >> another question on policy before we get to the other news. what about gun legislation? two or three weeks ago, the white house telegraphed that the president will support a gun package. we have not heard anything. have you heard anything from t

as you mentioned speaker pelosi , unveiled her bill. not surprisingly, the prescription drug industry is not pleased with this. and they have come out against it. you will see a lot of tv ads, recently going after the pelosi bill and supporting what the trump administration has done on administrative policy. mitch mcconnell is not a fan of this nancy pelosi bill. nancy pelosi had to strengthen the bill to get progressives on board, as far as how many drugs can be negotiated and to bring down drug prices at the same time. it is unclear when it will go to the floor. there is going to be a hearing in the ways and means committee, and a number of committees have jurisdiction in the house, energy and commerce as well. so i think you are going to have the hearings, which are going to be very partisan and then i , would think you will have markups, moving through committee, then going to the floor sometime in 2019. host: a quick yes-no question. bob kusac -- will the house and senate take up the u.s.-mexico-canada trade agreement before the en

[applause] pelosi: it was so beautiful. and has been referenced, allies are brought people together in brought people together in life of different parties and in his death of different parties. that is why i am so pleased that yesterday's service was very tooktisan and sad it bipartisan agreement for elijah to lie in repose in the same place abraham lincoln laid in repose in the capitol. veryh today we have a strong bipartisanship of elijah's colleagues from the , led by representatives the chairman, the leader steny hoyer, and so many of our .embers of the house in a bipartisan fashion, please rise to be recognized, and their families and elijah's staff. john lewis, where are you? john lewis. [applause] have strong: and we yesterdaytion bringing so many senators together. [applause] pelosi: bishop thomas, how brilliant was it of elijah's parents to name him elijah? said, his namey meant, "god is my lord." as we know from the old testament, there is a tradition to leave a seat at the table for elijah who might show up. but

nancy pelosi got 275,000 votes in her election. she is holding hostage a president who received 62 million votes that put him in office. there is something fundamentally wrong with this. pelosi knows it, and yet she refuses to abide by precedent which federal judges and the supreme court cared deeply about. >> sean: last question. do you believe as i do she doesn't have the votes and that there's a rebellion among those democratic congressmen and women that are in trump won districts in 2016? >> they are scared to death to vote on this. it's why she's refused to bring a vote up so far, to shield their members and why she and adam schiff are trying to unilaterally hide from the public what's really going on. think about it, sean. you know i'd pray they are trying to remove a duly elected president of the united states behind closed doors in secret. this is not just a witch hunt. it's a sham. people know it. no due process. nancy pelosi might think she can ram it through. she will not take away the will of the voters. there is an ele

as you mentioned, speaker pelosi unveiled her bill. not surprisingly the prescription drug industry is not pleased with this and they have come out against it. you'll see a lot of tv ads recently going after the pelosi bill and supporting what the trump administration has done on an administrative policy. mitch mcconnell is not a fan of this nancy pelosi bill. she had to strengthen the bill to negotiate and bring down drug prices. it's unclear when it will go to the floor. there is going to be a hearing in the ways and means committee. there's a number of committees in the house that have jurisdiction. so i think you're going to have the hearings which are going to be very partisan. then i would think you're going to have markups moving through committee and then going through the floor sometime in 2019. >> a quick yes/no question. will the house and senate take up the u.s.-mexico-canada trade agreement before the end of the year? >> i think it's on a knife's edge. the slight answer would be yes. but impeachment really brings a problem

it's pretty clear that this was shared with speaker pelosi. on the 30th of september, she said on 60 minutes she knew what was in the transcript before the white house released it. this suggests to me schiff and pelosi had been working together to gin up this impeachment effort. lou: you handled at various times in your career lots of complaints from whistleblowers. have you ever seen anything that looked as practiced and polished and legalistic as the one this so-called whistleblower put forward? >> i have seen some whistleblower complaints in my day with the cia and house intelligence committee. i have never seen one that's perfect or one that appeared to be written not just by a lawyer but a law firm or team of lawyers. >> or a staff on an intelligence, the house intelligence committee. >> schiff's attorneys were heavily involved in drafting this complaint. >> it's utterly impossible for nancy pelosi now and just economic me on this statement. it's utterly impossible for nancy pelosi to ever claim that this was anything more than a partisan

nancy pelosi, the once and future speaker of the united states. >> nancy pelosi is the most powerfulan in american political history. >> please don't characterize the spring -- the strength i bring to this meeting. >> she's been speaker of the house not once, but twice. and chief critic of president trump. >> that's the way you clap when your husband finally puts the toilet paper on the roller. >> she showed him up in public, walked out of the west wing, put those sunglasses on and walked away in an image that's become iconic. >> no one ever won betting against nancy pelosi. >> there's no denying our -- her political acumen and success, achieving the highest political office ever held by a woman in this country. >> she's been a champion for lgbt rights. congresswoman pelosi is a strong woman who knows how to get things done. ♪ >> i have so much respect for her. it's a combination of courage and grace. >> i heard the president say i deserve to be a leader. i don't think anybody deserves to be anything. it's not about what you have done, it's what you can do. we didn't have a speaker w

republicans are painting this as a backtrack by pelosi. democrats are holding their fire a little bit until they meet tomorrow morning and hear more from pelosi about what this vote will do. but let's talk about what it's not. this is not a vote to formally open an impeachment inquiry. something that republicans have been calling for for the last month now. this is, in fact, a vote to formalize the steps going forward here. this is not about the depositions that have been taking place. it's not about the closed-dooring -- or closed-door testimony we've gotten. what this will do, we understand, is lay out the procedures going forward for open hearings, for the release of the transcripts that have been compiled more than 70 hours so far with another half dozen or so of these depositions on the book. and it will give republicans something they've asked for. it will give a little bit more rights to the president when they go forward to allow the president's council, for example, to perhaps be present in some of these things. so democrats are b

republicans say pelosi stormed out. what happened. >> reporter: moments ago house and senate democrats came out to the microphones to talk about yet another white house meeting with president trump that was derailed by some kind of dispute that seemed to stem from president trump's comments with house speaker nancy pelosi. the democrats say that this was about the president being unhappy that republicans have been bucking him on syria. republicans say this was about the democrats being focused on impeachment. here is a little bit of that back and forth. >> he was insulting. particularly to the speaker. she kept her cool completely. but he called her a third-rate politician. he said that there are communists involved and you guys might like that. i mean, this was not a dialogue. it was a nasty diatribe not focused on the facts. >> what we witnessed on the part of the president was a melt down. >> when he started calling speaker pelosi a third-rate politician. >> i wish you were a politician mr. president and then you wou

nancy pelosi knows the pr battle.i knew how to set the democrats. 24 hours ago the president was crowing about the fact that he defeated isis. we're not talking about that anymore. by thursday we'll be talking about the preimpeachment vote. politically and communications wise, nancy pelosi, for once, is running circles around him. if the president can't figure out a way to change this narrative, not only will he obviously lose the impeachment vote in the house, but will lose support in the senate. the real question will not be whether or not he gets removed. i don't think that happens. from a messaging standpoint you could see five, six, seven, eight senators, republican senators make symbolic votes for impeachment because the president can't explain himself and they're tired of taking arrows for him. >> i don't know if you're right or not. but i do know that the reporting does suggest that what you're saying is quite plausible. because republican senators aren't just saying now, let's sit through a few bad weeks and

and the letter to pelosi, it has nothing to do with a -- he knows what pelosi's position is.ican people, to the jury, which is what this is all about. prosecution equals impeachment. that's what is going on here. so the letter is a direct letter to your jury who is the american people who are going to be calling those 218, those last few maybe hold-outs and say look, we don't like this. we don't like the process, we don't like the procedure, and it is not fair and don't impeach. that's what this is all about. >> sandra: part of the difficulty here is not everybody knows the law. not everybody knows the rules when it comes to all this and from the letter to the impeachment inquiry and the need for a full vote to the president saying on the record just a few moments ago every time he speaks to foreign leaders he says he does so appropriately. he went on to clear up what he sees as an ongoing debate over that phone call with the ukraine. said there was no quid pro quo. he has called that call perfect and wonderful. only a minute left. where do you think everything goes from here

nancy pelosi, chris wallace, nancy pelosi did cast a vote.re not sure whether she would or not. she voted in the affirmative. a question whether or not she would sit this one out. my guess is had she done that she would have been the target of a lot of criticism right now. >> traditionally speakers do not vote unless their vote is needed. they don't go down to the floor and vote. her vote wasn't needed. she wasn't the 217th vote to put it over the top. i think ultimately she decided she wanted to. i don't know she would have gotten criticism for not voting but i think her feelings about donald trump are so strong rightly or wrongly she probably couldn't resist voting to continue this impeachment inquiry. >> bill: how did her calculation change in the past 10 days do you think? >> i think a lot of it to have this vote? >> bill: yes. >> i think a lot of it had to do with those 31 members. the 31 house democrats who won in 2018 in districts that donald trump won. some of them by wide margins in 2016. a month ago they didn't want this vote becaus

nancy pelosi. one example of nancy pelosi. >> you guys are the ones who get the leaks.tell me. >> i have no examples. that's why i'm asking you. >> is it because you won't reveal your sources? or because you know it's not nancy pelosi? >> no one has identified an example of nancy pelosi -- >> there have been many examples of democrats leaking information selectively to members of the media. >> chris, part of this just underscores how tense things are right now between the white house and capitol hill. particularly, house democrats. as this impeachment inquiry intensifies and enters yet another day. so the question becomes, will the white house comply with house speaker nancy pelosi, who is demanding that she get briefed? i pressed hogan gidley on that. are there any plans to brief lawmakers at this point in time? he wasn't able to give any specifics, chris. so that, under a microscope. as well as the president's broader foreign policy as it relates to syria. that's one of the things that democrats want to know about. they want to know, for example, how many troops are g

the president's lawyers sent a letter to nancy pelosi.

, from pelosi to trump.es this tell about the white house to congress and the situation in northern syria, a dire one at this moment? >> once upon a time, the president admired nancy pelosi and told advisers that he did. clearly, the relationship has very much broken down, especially over impeachment. the president has said privately he doesn't want to be impeached. he's clearly upset about this. impeachment didn't come up at this meeting. at least this is what pelosi is arguing, trump is feeling the pressure because some of his own remembers, republicans in the house, voted for a rebuke to the president on withdrawing troops from syria. perhaps that soured his mood at the moment. it's funny he came back at pelosi with the same insults she made toward him. sometimes trump echos insults. remember the time when hillary clinton said you're a puppet of russia. and he responded, no, you're a puppet. he did the same thing here with pelosi. >> she said he was praying for his health. i'm praying for his health. >> s

the pelosi bill doesn't do that. and it is so unnecessary, and so destructive of the hope patients have when they consider the new science is available to them. there is one thing in the house bill that is good, it does have an out-of-pocket cap for medicare part d prescription drug program of $2000 per year. we think it needs fixing, and that $2000 shouldn't hit the beneficiary in month one. you should pay that over a year. and the senate finance committee reported a bailout that also has a cap on medicare part d. if the house and senate could agree to do those two things, those 45 million people who are the highest utilizers of drug and live on fixed incomes would never have a significant problem again with ability to a for the medicines they need. that would be worth doing. but government control of pricing has never succeeded in any place, and it certainly would be ruinous of our ability to innovate new drugs. sarah: you mentioned that with prices companies would charge under the pelosi plan, companies wouldn't b

nancy pelosi is there. let's listen to the speaker of the house. >> i had the -- just coincidental opportunity to be at breakfast with someone who served with him in the state ledge lay in maryland, and they said when elijah cummings would stand up in the state legislature, the house of delegates as it's called there, the room would fall silent. everyone wanted to hear what elijah has to say, and that is, of course, what was the case in congre congress, in his committee and in the country. he used to always say our children are our living messengers to a future we will never see. he wanted to be sure that that future was going to be better for them and that they would bring with them our values. in that regard, in terms of a better future, i'm so proud that this morning richie neal announced in the hearing they were having on hr3, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, that he was suggesting to name the bill for elijah cummings. so appropriate, because elijah was a fighter for lowering the cost of prescri

i see a pattern of behavior with speaker pelosi. she storms out of another meeting, trying to make it unproductive. the other democrats stayed and had a productive meeting. the general from the the joint chiefs, the secretary of defense, and the president in this meeting stated what his number one goal is to make sure america is safe. we talked with the general. listened to the plan. very productive between the democrats who actually stayed in the meeting. unfortunately, the speaker tries to make everything political. her own statements weren't productive. to storm out of a meeting which i watched time before in other crisis, is really not the ability of a speaker or the style of how a speaker should carry herself out. if she would be focusing on the issues that most americans are concerned about, her whole focus has to be on impeachment. we're sitting here talking about the security of america, when we don't even have our defense funding done. but there's no way to do it. the ndaa, we don't have that done, it's still in conference.

we're waiting on speaker pelosi.ok at it in the next month or two, a do or die time. what do you say coming out of your reporting? >> as nbc news has confirmed there's no consensus on whether to have this vote trump is demanding, an impeachment inquiry vote. rudy giuliani and some lawyers are claiming the impeachment inquiry is not legitimate because there wasn't a vote overall on the house floor to proceed with this and still somehow, democrats, even though who said publicly they support an inquiry who seem to be a little bit reluctant to vote for an impeachment inquiry which they will -- there's an investigation to determine whether there should be articles of impeachment which will have to be brought before the house floor in order to pass them onto the senate. it's a little bit of somewhat a technicality here, but it is something that's turning, you know, the house democratic caucus, i think in some way, you know, pelosi may just need to sort of force members to swallow hard and vote for this so they can take thi

pelosi was stunned at trump's victory. it has been downhill from there.rnment shutdown last january, the president canceled congressional. members on airport buses were returned to the capital. if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative. the sparring escalated. the president wrote pelosi that he intended to deliver the speech on time, on schedule, and more importantly, on location paired she wrote that that there would be no state of the union until government has opened. but with impeachment, pelosi has resisted pressure for months. >> the house will be in order. >> frustrating both the far left wing of the party and republicans. >> we will proceed when we have what we need to proceed. not one day sooner. everybody has the luxury to criticize me for trying to go down the path in the most determined, positive way. >> she remembers history. at the impeachment of bill clinton, dominic. while using her allies, to paint the picture that trump is the problem. >> look, pelosi is the adult in the room wh

but pelosi -- speaker pelosi has to have enough critical mass of members representing districts where trade is really important where trade is important to the state. where we need to get this deal done so that they she can look to the majority and say look i know you don't want the this but we have so many and america needs it quit frankly we're going to go ahead and move that forward. excuse me but the long answer to a straightforward question, but i'm reading the tea leaves just like you are. yes, sir. >> what is the has ert rule. >> what is that hassert. >> the unless a majority -- when republicans were in the majority in the house unless the majority of our marmt agreed to it we wouldn't put a bill on the floor. >> it doesn't apply to floors. >> this was a self-rule. a rule we had among ourselves. we named it hassert because he was speaker and says this is what we are going to do. we violate the rule once in a while because it's important. that's not a requirement on speaker planos pelosi at all. she wants it for her conference where he'd have 40, 50, 60 members and 18 of our mem

the dow is off 4% from record highs, we have nancy pelosi, adam schiff talking impeachment. president trump blasting the do-nothing democrats today, this is a hoax, a quote, bs coop that is driving the stock market down. a reality check that often bounces, it is a jam-packed sh show. the report on fisa abuses under obama administration, senator graham promising a hearing, and what sets stage for surveillance oof a candidate. also trying to break into the fort knox of privacy of citizen's tax return, that being the president. what sets the stage? overreach of power that critics say occurred under president obama. >> and 4 out of 10 voters believe that joe biden did put pressure on ukrainian officials to keep them from probing his son's business ties. , did that company purposely hire the vice president's son to help shield them from investigations at the time when joe biden was taking the lead in fighting corruption in ukraine? and also critics say was nancy pelosi reason not to put impeachment inquiry to a full house vote, did she do that to shut down republicans who wanted

pelosi: good afternoon, everyone. good afternoon, everyone. hello, hello.n't we proud of our chairman of the democratic national committee? thank you, thank you, thank you, mr. chairman. for bringing your values-based enthusiasm, your political savvy, your determination to make the future better for our country, translating it into a political plan for success. we couldn't be better served than by your leadership and we look forward to following you to victory, to winning the white house, the senate. winning the future of our country. thank you, mr. chairman, so much. ms. pelosi: today is a sad day or congress and our country. you are beloved chairman elijah cummings. in the congress, elijah was our north star, the leader of towering character and integrity. his stirring voice and steadfast values pushed the congress and the country to rise always to a higher purpose. he always told us, we are better than this. whatever it was. how many time he is said to us our children are our living messengers to a future we'll never see. so we have a responsibility to p

in march, speaker pelosi said this about impeachment. "impeachment is so divisive to the country, that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, i don't think we should go down that path because it divides the country." today, the country just witnessed the only bipartisan vote on that floor was against. the question to the speaker are the same questions i provided in a letter about the unfair process that we had. what has changed since march? in all the hearings there's nothing compelling, nothing overwhelming. so the speaker should follow her own words and end the sham that's been putting this country through this nightmare. that's exactly what this vote shows today. i want to call up our whip, steve scalise. mr. scalise: thank you, kevin. when we talk about the vote, i think it's important to note, when you see that not only did every single republican reject this soviet-style impeachment process but we were even joined by democrats who couldn't stand it anymore. if you look at where we are right now, we'

speaker pelosi stood up to donald trump and said "all roads with you lead to putin." after an incoherent rant by donald trump which she described to reporters this way. >> go ahead. >> on the part of the president was a meltdown. sad to say. >> what we have to be melting down about, there's the bipartisan resolution that passed the house of representatives today with 129 republican votes condemning donald trump's abandonment of the kurds. and there's a new devastating impeachment poll for donald trump. donald trump is the only president in history who wakes up every day bracing for new devastating re-election polling and at the same time new devastating impeachment polling. the most dangerous number of all for donald trump is going up. in a new gallup poll, 52% of americans say that donald trump should be impeached by the house of representatives and convicted and removed from office by the united states senate. in june in the aftermath of robert mueller's investigation, the gallup poll found 45% of americans said donald trump should be impeached and removed from offi

don't hide behind nancy pelosi. it's very important that the house vote on whether or not we should go forward on impeachment that's the democratic way of doing business. it's the most consequential two weeks of the 2020 election. what happened in the last two weeks? joe biden who was leaking the campaign is just completely imploded. i think he's probably done. he's the biggest victim of the whistleblower complaint, because now, we know, that his son was receiving $50,000 a month from the ukraine gas company, while joe was in charge of the ukraine portfolio, and $1 billion plus from a subsidiary of a china bank based on qualifications so i think this is a nightmare for the biden campaign. bernie sanders has a heart attack, um, nancy pelosi is now trapped. she embarked on impeachment inquiry based on a transcript she hadn't read, and here is what i would like fox or somebody to do. go to every republican and ask the question do you believe the transcript itself is an impeach able offense? what the president said on t

there is pressure, as well, on pelosi and the last 24 hours. some democratic members like john garamendi in california are saying maybe there should be a vote, maybe the white house is right on that. almost calling the president's bluff. if you do have a vote vote and the president says no, maybe they put pressure on the white house is still cooperating with witnesses. >> melissa: i want to ask about the alleged bias of that first whistleblower. the "washington examiner" now reporting that the person had a significant professional tie too a 2020 democratic candidate who was not named. president trump tweeting, "the whistleblower's lawyer is a big democrat. there was a blur has ties to one of my democrat opponents. why does the ig i see to continue?" what you think about that? in fairness, everybody in washington is on one side or the other. >> yes, we input in context. what with the motivations for the support? byron york did great reporting of the "washington examiner" ," and we should credit him. but let's go back a couple weeks. i broke this

. >> now portions of yesterday's democratic national committee women's leadership forum, nancy pelosi on the upcoming elections, the impeachment inquiry and the passing of elijah cummings and remarks and democratic presidential candidate joe biden. he focuses on the violence against women act in the trump administration and offered that he would be able to beat donald trump in the 2020 election. ♪ >> house democrats are down with nancy pelosi, the once and future speaker of the united states house of representatives. >> nancy pelosi is the most powerful woman in american political history. >> that characterize the strength -- >> he has been speaker of the house not once but twice. and chief critic of donald trump. >> that is the way you clap when your husband finally puts the toilet paper on the roller. >> she showed him up in public and walked out of the west wing, put those sunglasses on and walked away in an image that has become pretty iconic. now whenever won betting against nancy pelosi. >> now deny her political acumen and success achieving the highest political office ever hel

pelosi declaring mr. will not participate in the impeachecachment inquiry arguing the probe is ill legitimate. i want to see what you think about a key part of this letter. this is a key part. given your inquiry lacks any legitimate constitutional foundation or even the most elementary due process protections, the executive branch cannot be expected to participate in it because participates in this inquiry would inflict lasting institutional harm on the executive branch and lasting damage to the separation of powers. you have left the president no choice. consistent with the duties of the president of the united states and his obligation to preserve the rights of future occupants of his office. president trump cannot permit his administration to participate in this partisan inquiry under these circumstances. laura coats, explain sort of what this is. this is like an accused dictating the terms of their investigation. >> it's absurd in a word here. how can there not be a constitutional legitimate basis whe
