representative speier says house managers are presenting a convincing case. a stanford constitutional law professor says the case meets the criteria for high crimes and misdemeanors. >> it's abuse of office, abuse of power, abuse of power for personal gain. >> reporter: bernadette myler told the crowd it's possible senators will vote to allow witnesses and documents after republicans present their case. >> i think that that's where the greatest concern is, that future presidents would be able to stonewall congress or stonewall courts and fail to turn over documents. >> reporter: voters say they want senators to demand to see and hear all the evidence. >> we need everybody that was involved to stand up and say what happened and who they talked to. >> hopefully get enough senators to come to the realization that our democracy is in danger. this is not about you getting re-elected. ea news. b >> that representative eric swalwell also held a town hall on impeachment tonight. he talked to his constituents in dublin about the latest developments out of d.c., also i

speier speier thank you, madam speaker. i -- ms. speier: thank you, madam speaker. i thank the gentleman from minnesota for granting me the time. to my good friend and colleague, the gentleman from texas, let me say that this will be the most significant piece of legislation that you can take great pride in having say you authored, as your career continues in this august body. i can't begin to say how grateful i am to be working with you, not just on this bill, but on our cancer -- childhood cancer caucus, and the great work that you've done. this particular bill, the global hope act, will have a profound impact on children around the world who have been diagnosed with cancer. 80% of whom die because of that diagnosis. while here in the united states 80% of those children now live. so this is a remarkable effort that we must embrace wholeheartedly on both sides of the aisle. ou know, the chinese effort, the initiative where they are investing in concrete around the world, says something about their values. this shows that we in this country are investing in people.

let's talk with jackie speier of california. is a member of both the armed services and the intelligence committees. we thank you for talking to us today. you've been briefed. you're on the intel committee. have you been briefed about what is supposed to be proof of an imminent threat by soleimani? >> i have seen the intelligence that's been provided by our intelligence community and also the letter from the president. so that amount of information does not make me feel confident that we have done what is appropriate. i think that this will go down in history as an epic foreign policy blunder by the president of the united states. i fear for all of our servicemembers. i chair the military personnel subcommittee. i've been at fort bragg. exami and now with no notice all of those families have had their spouses sent off. we now have 40,000 members of our military in the middle east. >> esper said that the proof -- so you've seen the intelligence. when he's talking about the intelligence, he's saying it was more than razor thin, it

jackie speier, also briefed today on the president's strike of soleimani. your reaction to what you heard? >> thank you, chris. i would concur with my colleagues in the senate. it was a fair amount of rope-a-dope. it was also, i think, frustrating for many members, both republicans and democrats, that the unwillingness of these highly placed persons within the administration to give us specifics. so the vagueness of the rationale continues to plague us. the strategy continues to be one of attack and beligerence. it's the last thing we should be doing right now. there is this window of opportunity. we need to start diplomacy. that's the only way we'll be able to move forward. i would say to the president, here is an opportunity to do what you did with nafta and create a new agreement in your own image. the jcpoa has relevance. we want to make sure that iran does not continue to build an arsenal of nuclear weapons. we have to go back to the table. >> house speaker nancy pelosi is going to move for a vote on a war powers resolution that would explicitly constr

joining us now is intelligence community member and california democratic congresswoman jackie speierof all, i'm wondering what your overall reaction is to these documents and how much it makes it all the more important that testimony is given from the people who are actually sending these emails. >> you know, anderson, i actually feel what is most important is for us to get the documents. what i've seen over and over again when we've interviewed many of these people is their great ability to forget or not remember. and the documents don't forget, and the documents, as we have seen by this outstanding reporting is -- says it all, that the president demanded this, that ukraine was put at risk, and that they have consistently refused to turn over any documents to the committees that have had jurisdiction for oversight. so what has been released has been released through a lawsuit that's been filed, and then subsequently, evidently these emails have been acquired through some whistle-blower. so we are in the dark. the american people are in the dark. the congress is in the dark. and ther

is a certain resemblance of the town with frozen you've got these mountains sort of these little speier. church that's even though disney's animators apparently did their research in norway not in austria but how he's the man he said he's going to put a cap on the torch has he going to do that so they're going to put a limit on the number of buses that can come to the town and the the buses will have to stay for longer because currently the tourists are in and out they don't even have time to buy a souvenir or a drink ok now this new movie seems to be the last role as you said as we saw the villages already overrun by tourists as well and this is something that's developed really over the last decade even before frozen 2 came out particularly with east asian visitors there is something of a. about this town of east asian countries. the town featured on a south korean soap opera there's even in china a clone of this village that was built in the year 2012 near the southern city of wang zhao a replica of the village complete with the town square their church and a lot of chinese people ba

in terms of jackie speier's, congress woman speier, she suggests that the actions the president took, more of the reason for this tragic crash of this jet, 176 people killed, more so than the iranian missile that the decision was made to send the iranian missile or a system that was just seeking anything that was in coming. >> that such a disgusting and deplorable accusation and i'm reluctant to even address it, but we have to because, you know, they keep saying it. pete buttigieg the presidential candidate said something similar, the implication was similar. somehow this is our fault? this relies on a false premise that history begins with donald trump's actions, the democrats often believe this pair they do not want to believe that iran has a long history of escalations, right? they want to believe that trump started this fight. they did not want to look back at history since 1979. since the jcpoa was signed, they tested multiple nuclear capable missiles since they quadrupled funding to hezbollah who has doubled their own funding to the eye rgc because they instigated multiple civil

you heard what jackie speier, member of the intelligence committee said. i'll play the clip and then you'll respond. >> if what is being projected is true, this is yet another example of collateral damage from the actions that have been taken in a provocative way by the president of the united states. >> you responded on twitter saying this is sick. once again iran is the victim. i want you to elaborate what you mean. >> i mean, what that's saying is 176 people were killed as a result, what she's saying, of president trump. look at this. this is an iranian shootdown, not an american missile. to put this on the president -- i have -- you know because i've done it on your show. check the tapes everybody. when president obama did military action, i either opposed or supported him without regard for what political party he was because i still believe politics at the end of the water's edge should be about america first. to see what has transpired on the floor of the house of representatives, people questioning whether he has the authority, every legal scholar

joining me, jackie speier, a member of the armed services and intelligence committee. seen some of this intelligence. you have been briefed. the president said on a stage last night, he said that soleimani was planning new attacks looking seriously at our embassies. did you see that in the intelligence that you have been provided? >> all i can tell you, john, is he misrepresented the intelligence. and i think what we all have to be very concerned about is that we have 65,000 troops and diplomats in that region that are at risk now because there has been this fatal attack on soleimani that is creating an interest, not just by iran but by shia militia in iraq, to provide vengeance to the united states. >> what he suggested, though, is that they were at risk because of general soleimani. so when you say he misrepresented the intelligence, was soleimani planning attacks on u.s. embassies? >> again, i'm not at liberty to provide you additional information. i apologize for that, but that's one of the requirements being on this committee. all i can tell you is that i believe

we have democratic congresswoman jackie speier, member of the intelligence and armed services committee. good to see you, representative. >> thank you, chris. great to be with you. >> first, let's do a little housekeeping, then i want to get into what you think the new information could mean to the senate trial, what you think it means to the overall argument. the idea of the vote tomorrow to present new evidence to the senate and appoint managers, what is the strategy and what do you think about the offer of new evidence? >> the offer of new evidence is compelling and i think what we have seen just in the last two weeks and cudos to speaker pelosi who was right in postponing sending the articles over because look what has happened in the last two weeks. you had john bolton come forward, now lev parnas with documentation, now we know the russians have been hacking into burisma. there's more and more evidence of a cover up going on by the white house and the administration and the fact that we have so many who did not come forward to testify by subpoena, they defied the subpoenas for doc

. >> i want to bring in congressman jackie speier, democrat from california. i know, congresswoman, you didn't get to hear all of that. i'll fill you in. i want to give context that you've expressed concern from the beginning with the air strike that killed soleimani. we just heard from mark esper who said we are not seeking a war with iran but we are prepared to finish one, we are prepared to deliver a forceful response. the president in the oval office a few minutes ago described soleimani as a terrorist and claims we saved lives. finally, mark esper said, to suggest he wasn't a legitimate target is fanciful. your response? >> i must say, chris, that this will probably go down in history as an epic blunder by the trump administration in terms of foreign policy. it's almost hard to imagine that we are sending letters, talking about troop withdrawal, exchanging these letters and everyone is saying, oh, no, that was just a draft. and then the murder of soleimani, who is a wretched person in the revolutionary guard, is one person. he can be replaced and will be

she puts the democracy first. >> congresswoman jackie speier, thank you again. i know you are moving on to another vote. i have a bit of breaking news to tell everyone about as you look on the screen. we now have this final tally here, this house resolution to terminate, in the language of the resolution, and limit the president's powers to wage hostilities towards iran has passed. as you can see on the screen, we have the numbers there. 224-194. that is a wide victory for speaker pelosi aligning democrats with this move to limit the president's powers in iran here just coming days after a period of both escalation and de-escalation in that conflict. we have a property on this iran vote coming this hour. but right now as we continue reporting the other big story, the looming trial of the president, another expert, buzzfeed journalist hayes brown has been tracking this with us. barrett is also with us. hayes, when you look at the situation, it is rather striking to see the signs of mitch mcconnell having protested that he doesn't even want the darn thing. >> righ

in the bay area, jackie speier introduced several bills aimed add reducing noise at sfo and oakland airport. >>> 4:52 and a huge expansion plan here on "today in the bay" where the sharks are looking to build in the south bay. >>> and something we haven't seen in a college basketball game in a long time, nasty brawl breaking out between kansas and kansas state, how it all started next. >>> but first happening now, conversion therapy is banned in utah, now the 19th states and one of the two prohibited, it is used to try to change sexual orientation or gender. mormonism teaches that intimate same-sex relationships are condemned and it encourages to be compassionate to lgbtq people. 4:53. more ahead. tom steyer: no child should have to worry about finding good food in school. so, when my wife kat and i learned california public school children couldn't get fresh produce in the cafeteria, we took action. we partnered with local farmers, school kitchens, a non-profit. that program now serves over 300 million healthy meals every year. the difference between words and actions matters. that's a les

schiff, jackie speier, jerry nadler and a few others.ikely lawyers, not just from new york and california. a lot of talk on capitol hill that they want a cross-section. speculation that justin amash who voted for impeachment would be house manager. guest: they were pushing for this. they wanted to seem that impeachment was bipartisan. i am not sure that will happen. i cannot read nancy pelosi's mind. joe in maine. to what is your question or comment? caller: my question is how republicans can take and ignore this and call it -- democrats -- partisan. mitch mcconnell is deciding what he wants to do and he will pay the price at the vote. he is down 30%. senator ingo some maine, susan collins, another was one of the most popular. now they are both at 30%. i'm not a politician but she is not going to win up here. she has lied consistently. never had a town hall meeting in 20 years. can you imagine that? is, these question republicans start getting put under pressure if it does get to a senate vote. if the senators decide to abstain from the

become more cynical, for us to lose faith in the motion that the american system of government is speier t supere auto corrupt model of government in russia and sought to export to places like ukraine. these are not the free and fair elections americans expect or demand if foreign powers are interfering. how can we know that our elections are free from foreign interference whether by disinforma or hang or fake investigations. we must not become number to foreign interference -- numb to foreign interferenour s.ur electrions aea scce ired. if we do not act to put an end to solicitation of foreign interference into our election by the president of the united states, the effect would be corrosive to our elections and our values. future presidents may believe that they too can use the substantial power conferred on them by the constitution in order to undermind our system of free and fair elections. that they too can cheat to attain power or keep it. that way lies disaster for the great experiment in sell governance. you can see there's powerful evidence that president trump will continue to

general haftar or from libya's rival administration reportedly said he's ready to abide by the currency speier here's our middle east correspondent paula slayer. well it certainly seems as if things are heading in the right direction that meeting in moscow was applauded by the international community is a step in the right direction in terms of bringing about a lasting peace agreement in libya as you've mentioned we've just heard from the german foreign minister that highly for have tyler who is the commander of the libyan national army has agreed to a cease fire with the forces of the government of national accord now that is the u.n. backed government that sits in tripoli this followed an earlier and by the turkish president air the one in which he said he was starting to send turkish troops to libya to assist the government of national accord there there are already turkish forces in libya but they they are primarily to train the forces in tripoli and everyone is saying that this is all part and parcel of a much bigger picture there are agreements between the 2 countries to this effect and

up there was a small group of people in congress who were given access to that one of them jackie speier was on the intelligence committee said that she did not find the information very specific so the administration is now offering to present evidence to a broader group of members of congress in the coming days however it is being criticized for launching this attack after both the obama administration's and the george w. bush administrations have the opportunity to attack giuliani and did not do so so what they're looking for is a smoking gun specific evidence that he was about to do something that was going to cause the death of americans in iraq or elsewhere that's what the administration says it has but it hasn't presented it so far and many of the president's critics seem unconvinced john hendren with the latest there from washington d.c. john saying. well iraq's outgoing prime minister says the u.s. is no alternative and must pull its troops out of the country are the loved math he wants the american soldiers to go home to avoid a further escalation of tensions some of binge of i

speier now we are in berlin we hope for more success in this particular crisis. the us world has significantly diminished in the oil rich country the e.u. is divided the french support half the while the italians. there were hopes the beleaguered conference will bring all the parties that can and the conflict but it is 0 was shunned from the peace talks after receiving an invitation last minute morocco which hosted the 2015 peace talks and a key supporter of the d.n.a. were also excluded the bullying conference was essentially about relaunching political dialogue libyan rival groups will meet in geneva in the coming weeks to see if they can form a new government or risk turning their country into a permanent playground for foreign intervention. where he does in the libyan capital he says the security situation remains fragile and there is some skepticism that a lasting can be reached. it's a still so for a jailed or re in this cease fire but it seems that what's going on in believe in is in another i mean it's going going on the another past because there are so

has said was not even as dangerous as general soleimani, there was cheering, including from jackie speier's who released a very up laudatory statement on her website. so right now the difference between president trump and president obama in these two instances is politics. that's a dangerous position to be playing when we are talking about the lives of our american soldiers and our american personnel serving overseas. >> absolutely not. the entire world book mike wanted to take out usama bin laden and we saw those two towers fall. the whole world was with us and everyone cheered when that man was killed. i didn't see the whole world cheer when -- >> neil: if barack obama had taken this guy out, and he did, would you be as offended at that as you are now at this preside president? >> if barack obama did it and didn't have an explanation and gave a 15 minute speech on a maga path the night before, then yes. >> neil: if barack obama had done this for the same reason that the president decided to do it, would you be whining to this degree right now? >> i'm not whining but i did see a plane sho

and jackie speier tweeted that the president should get off the golf course and in the situation room. she ended saying our adversaries are not clib radeliberating on fairway. >> there's a lot of tension from both sides. and now this happened, it feels like a spark for something big. >> reporter: congress members demanded that the white house immediately brief congressional leaders on both sides about the executed plan and the plan moving forward. and eric swalwell says as part of the house intelligence committee, he was briefed on a situation but says he has more questions. and today, senator bernie sanders and congressman khanna suggested legislation for prohibiting force against iran without congressional approval. >> we have the power of the first. are we willing to use it? >> reporter: both sides agree that the iranian general was a ruthless leader who had american blood on his hands. they disagree on what happened yesterday. in san jose, i'm damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. >>> what happens next? our political analyst will join us with answers and insight at 6:30. >>> let's t

. >> democratic presidential hopeful pete buttigieg and democratic congresswoman jackie speier both implied that the president may be indirectly responsible for the downing of that ukranian airline that was leaving tehran and killed 176 people. do you agree with that? >> well, look, this was a terrible, terrible tragedy. this is the kind of thing that happens in the fog of war. these are the kind of accidents and unintended circumstances that occur, which just underscores the recklessness of the decisions that brought us to this point. because these were choices. there was nothing imminent about the threat, and the reality is what we've gotten ourselves into is a much, much bigger mess and danger situation than ever before. iraq has always been a very difficult place. it's always been a tense situation. but what president trump and secretary pompeo have done is throw another stick of dynamite into an already very volatile situation. and in the process, put american lives at greater risk and brought us much closer to war, which is why it was so important that the house pass the war powers re

i got a really nice text message from jackie speier, our congresswoman who said keep going. when i was in the state senate it took me six years to get one bill through so we will keep working on it and i know we will get it done. >> that timeline is frustrating to a lot of us here in california facing this crisis. why do you think that senate bill 50 failed? and by just three votes? >> well, it is a crisis. we have a multimillion home shortage. people are living in their cars. young families are having to leave. people are being evicted. it is a terrible situation. it is harming our economy, diversity, environment and quality of life. the legislature needs to have a real sense of urgency to solve this issue. it is no longer okay for us to just take our time, so, yes, it is frustrating when a bill like this fails, but we will turn around and this year i am going to introduce several pieces of very aggressive legislation this year. the governor and the president of the senate both said we have to get something big done this year so i am optimistic we will all get together and

. >> san mateo congresswoman jackie speier had a similar reaction, saying, quote, going it alone is notrecipe for disaster. we should be gravely concerned that the president acted without our allies at our side, without consulting with our leaders in congress. >> abc 7 news checked with local police departments. we were told by san francisco it is deploying additional resources to key locations around the city in the wake of the action in the middle east. city officials say there are no credible threats to san francisco. san jose police say they are keeping a close eye on the situation and are working with state and federal partners but have not increased patrols. the state department sent out several warnings today following the air strike in iraq. it urged people to leave the country immediately and to avoid the u.s. embassy. it also advised citizens to be on alert in kuwait, and bahrain. >>> the escalating tension between the u.s. and iran is having a profound impact on the bay area's arab and persian community. abc 7 news reporter anser hassan is live in san jose. anser? >> reporter

>> well, i've heard seen some, and i don't know if it's the same as congresswoman speier, but i have to join her in her evaluation. of course, terrorism threats exist in the middle east and, of course, iran has sponsored them in the past and sadly may continue to in the future. did i see this imminent threat that led to this president's decision to target the -- mr. soleimani, general soleimani? no. make no mistake. general soleimani is an architect of terror with american blood on his hands. but we've known that through previous presidents, president bush and president obama. and they made the careful decision that confrontation and elimination at that point would not be in the best interest of the united states in the long run. what was is that president trump saw that changed his mind. was it an impulsive move on his part or did he thoughtfully think through what this means in terms of our future in that region of the world? >> but if it was impulsive, let's just say, and let's just say it was about retaliation. let's say the intelligence shows that there wasn't an imminent attack

jackie speier yesterday just on cnn alone the associated press just last night and this got a ton ofe, an iranian general dies in u.s. attack and innocent suffer. get it? trump orders the attack on soleimani therefore 176 souls die on that airliner. that is disgusting. ainsley: iran shot down that airliner. they deny they did it. evidence proves that taking out soleimani and what he has done in the past. >> if he doesn't take out soleimani and if the intelligence is correct that he had planned to take out u.s. diplomats, more u.s. servicemen, more u.s. then we would have heard why didn't trump do anything. maybe it's because is he being impeached. i love that excuse he took out soleimani because is he trying to distract from impeachment. believe it or not as crazy as it sounds, impeachment has actually been very good for him from a polling perspective it. looks so political. is he a results guy getting things done while democrats are concentrating on political games. steve: that's one of the reasons nancy pelosi has not yet given mitch that big binder full of impeachment article. >>
