i actually begin a center at indiana university purdue university indianapolis called the center for civic literacy. i started it about eight years ago. maybe ten, time flies. but the impetus for starting that was that in my undergraduate class online policy, i teach through a constitutional lens and when we come to the notion of original intent, i usually ask my students, what do you james madison thought about porn on the internet? and the proper answer to that is to laugh because i've is a james madison didn't think about porn on the internet. and then relaunch into of what james madison did think and say and what got into our constitution. but it asked this young woman, junior in college, what you think james madison thought about porn on the internet? she looked at me and said, whose james madison? and i went home and drank. but this book, it was part of the work of the center for civic literacy at iupui. it's an effort to compile what every single citizen needs to know and understand about our government and our economy, and the difference between science and religion. one of t

you mentioned cory gardner, susan collins, david purdue in georgia. the question is, do they get any blow back? there is zero expectation and no one should try to set the idea that it's possible the president will be convicted and removed. even if all 47 democrats voted to do that, but even if all 47, you need 20. that's not going to happen. the question is are there enough to side with democrats to get some witnesses, some other procedural or rules, just some poke at the president and the republicans? >> there aren't those votes right now, even though the public sentiment does seem to be in favor of allowing those witnesses to testify. in our washington post abc news polling that came out earlier, show that 71% of americans do want these administration officials who did defy calls for testimony at the house to appear before the senate. now in the next couple of weeks we're in the holidays and there's not going to be a lot of public pressure on the senators when people are enjoying time at home with their families. perhaps sometime throughout the tria

senate, david purdue, who had not ever been in public office, and he turned out to be a great ally ofhe president and a great conservative and somebody who can get things done in washington. more importantly, he never said anything wrong. that is one thing that happens with self funders and celebrity candidates is sometime they slip and say something stupid on the campaign trail because they've have not been out there before. they have not based people like kevin with tough questions. that is something all candidates need to learn. i send it back to washington, presumably we get articles of impeachment this week and vote upon them in the house. is it all over by this time next week or the middle of next week? rep. kingston: i think it is. it was probably all over when the democrats won the majority in january 2017 when they were sworn in in 2018, having one back the house. they wanted to impeach the president from day one and they have the votes. i will say i think for the 31 candidates who represent states that president trump one in the last cycle or 2016, i think it is a political

the secretary purdue said the change was to save money and quote restore the dignity of work to foodit boils down to is the government saying in many areas if you cannot find a job you cannot get food stamps. the work requirement rule would save the government $5.5 billion over five years, just for context here the trump administration has authorized $16 billion this year alone to make welfare payments to agri business affected by trump's trade war. it represents just one phase for trump's planned cuts for the $34 million food stamp recipients. the urban institute who studies this sort of thing estimates the measures would cut 3.7 billion from the snap program. critics say this is an attack on the poorest americans and their ability to feed themselves. and joining me now is one of those critics, the top democrat on the senate agriculture committee. senator, why do you oppose this move by the administration? >> well, chris, first i want to thank you for lifting this up. it's a busy day, a lot going on. i think they hoped it might slide by without a lot of attention, so thank you. our

gardner, ernst, tillis, and purdue. with we have one senator johnson in the case and a vice president implicated in the charges. what are they doing on the panel? that should be a motion to the justice or beforehand. i think when they tender the articles of impeachment to the senate sometime in january, i think that they have to also file the paper that make these points and others including the witnesses they want. >> let me get margaret in but i think those are interesting points. >> yeah. >> ari, mcconnell says that pelosi has no leverage. mcconnell handed pelosi leverage by being so outspoken, brazen, about how he was going to treat the trial. he proudly said he was coordinating with the defendant and his lawyers. and that's against the oath he's going to take which is to be an impartial juror. and then lindsey graham chimed in and we've had almost a continuous loop of quotes of senators that were around for the clinton impeachment when there was agreement on the rules, there was agreement on witnesses, and they wer
