nancy pelosiou ask the steny hoyer -- and steny hoyer on the democrat side, this resolution is needed to lay out these rules for the next phase of this investigation, which will be in the public setting, led by the intelligence committee and its chairman, adam schiff. we have three committees participating in the closed-door session, but it looks like adam schiff will be taking the lead. -- lead in the public session that will allow the democratic leadership to control that environment more tightly. it means fewer lawmakers will be at least in the ukraine portion of the impeachment inquiry, and so that will be significant. closechiff obviously is a trusted ally of nancy pelosi. she is putting this in his hands. host: the criticism by republicans hasn't let up. in a briefing today, late afternoon statement from the white house press secretary calling the impeachment and illegitimate sham. think the house rules committee meeting looks like wednesday? scott: i don't think much will change. the white house has been critical of the process, highly critical of the resolution and process goi

steny hoyer stood up in congressional. many and senator schumer comes ton to say he gets tough with the wrong people. what i think is unbelievable in nancy pelosi's comments as steve just said was that she says all roads lead to putin. there is one president that is responsible for allowing vladimir putin back in the middle east. it's barack obama. his lack of action in syria that allowed the insurgency, iran to come back. opened the door for russia to come in. they knocked on the door in baghdad and said we are here now. make sure you don't bomb us and we will make sure we don't bomb you. so, vladimir putin wasn't invited into the middle east by this president. steve: after they left that particular cabinet room, chuck and nancy went outside and said this about their meeting with the president. >> we witnessed on the part of the president was a meltdown. sad to say. >> he was insulting, particularly to the speaker. she kept her cool completely. but he called her a third-rate politician. this was not a dialogue. it was sor

[applause] pelosi: he made a seat at , for new for children members of congress so he could mentor them, for all who wanted to be part of the american dream. personally lived the american dream and wanted everyone else to have that opportunity. hence, many seats at the table. how fortunate for our country that his parents also taught him to live up to his name? how blessed are we all to know him, to benefit from his friendship and

steny hoyer went with her and they decided to leave.s was not going to be a productive meeting. >> the strategy piece, democrats walked out. not all democrats because some of them stayed behind with republicans to ask questions of the president and talk about syria and turkey et cetera. >> it was probably an unproductive meeting kind of the relationship between pelosi an the president it was a strategic decision by pelosi and hoyer they had enough. this bodes pretty poorly for what is going to be needed to have ap relationship going forward with pelosi and the budget. they have to have a budget deal and syria and foreign aid and sanctions and they clearly aren't even on speaking terms. >> so then how do you move forward from this if at all? kevin mccarthy made the point when he came out to, you know, i work over at the white house every day, when he came out he said, yeah, you know, we were trying to have this productive conversation and trying to move forward, how do you do that when you have the president of the united states, you kno

we had a civil conversation after she and chuck schumer and steny hoyer stormed out. there were other democrats in the meeting. we talked through how we can achieve similar objectives in continuing the fight against isis. lou: it sounds like you had a good meeting when it was a one-sided meeting. >> there were democrats still there but it was contentious when speaker pelosi and chuck schumer were going back and forth with the president. you saw the president release pictures on twitter that showed the aggression. it's important to show that. lou: there you are, as this just set up. when you talk about them storing out of the meeting, two thoughts occurred to me. it was their turn. he stored out of the last so-called bipartisan meeting, right? why in the world should a president of the united states put up with nonsense from the very people who are trying to overthrow his presidency. i have to give hip credit for even inviting him. >> i thought it was gracious object his part to invite them there. pelosi was on this drum beat to impeach the president. behind closed doo

even as steny hoyer says i'm not even sure we need this vote.w dems who have not weighed in. even nancy pelosi goes i don't think i need to vote on this. i think this thing is a done deal. then the investigation will simply launch. steve: well, you know, when you say codify people don't know exactly what that means. it doesn't authorize the inquiry. because it's already going on. so what this does is it sets out 8 and a half pages of procedures. how things will go going forward. and when you read them, clearly the deck is stacked against the republicans. both sides say there's a possibility that each -- while it will be a party line vote, each side could lose up to a handful. there are a number of democrats who are undecided, unannounced their opinion. they include congressman from oklahoma, new york, new jersey, and maine along with minnesota. ainsley: it we go through these names? why would they be holdouts why wouldn't they vote the way nancy pelosi wants them 20? the first four flipped their districts from red to blue in 2018. they are fresh

but you know the house majority leader steny hoyer was kind of hedging his bets.en asked specifically if they would put this on the floor on thursday. we are trying to find out what the text of the resolution is because what would it do, would it establish the parameters as to how they would go from these closed door investigations and interviews and then punt over to public hearings and maybe have witnesses come there as they move over to the judiciary committee as they start to write articles of impeachment. this resolution could be trouble for democrats and republicans. the reason some republicans, if they were to vote for this, you know, they could draw ire of the president and maybe face a primary challenge. there are 31 democrats in districts represented -- that president trump carried in 2016, so that could be a problem there as well. i talked to some of those members on both sides of the aisle. listen. >> the american people deserve the process, they deserve the transparency. they deserve to know what's going on. so if [ inaudible ]. >> we're going to look

steny hoyer, i want to play this for congressman selden. he made a comment today that basically contradicts the provision that jerry nadler made. let's watch. >> there is going to be due process, it's going to be fair. there will be a form in which the president is given the opportunity to call witnesses, to cross-examine, to have his representatives present, and i am surprised that the republicans say they are not going to vote for a resolution that, in effect, gives them what they asked for. >> laura: but the resolutions as the president can't ask questions, or may be denied the ability to ask questions if certain documents aren't turned out over to the committee. what's the truth here? >> it's going to be a total sh show. it doesn't guarantee the minority par party can call mis, doesn't guarantee the transcripts will be released via the president can't have council president to present evidence, to be able to cross-examine witnesses. this is going to be another missed opportunity for an illegitimate charade, a circus that lacks credibili

nancy pelosi and steny hoyer are backing off of alling it a impeachment resolution so what the heck isa resolution on whether the house it precede with an impeachment inquiry. but as you note 35 days ago, a day before president released transcript of his conversation with the ukraine president she called for impeachment inquiry and started in in secret behind closed-doors in excess as a mana month, anything going forward as far as we're concerned is il illegitimate. it will be really interesting to see how many democrat from trump districts are willing to vote. >> this is caroll ross, seems that a lot of laid people or people in congress keep confusing concept of impeachment with the removal of the president from office. longer that this political theater goes on, doesn't that justa. just amp up trump's base and hurt democrats some that is the way we see it, this happened to republicans when they -- in pulled impeachment process on trump, i mean bil bill clinton,e are polling in those swing districts in particular trump district, this is not doing over well, it will get worse, i most u

more information about what potentially the political bias might have been, house majority leader steny hoyer, can we play that? >> i think that we are close. there are other witnesses that adam schiff and the committee are going to be calling. however, i don't want to put a time limit on it, but i think that we are close. it was correct to say that we are trying to move expeditiously. we believe this move should move along, and not drag out. >> harris: if they are at the end of the deposition process, what is your reaction? >> it is a crying shame that they did not do that before the public. i can tell you that there has been so many leaks that the media seems to know more about this then i do. members of this house. i think that they will move quickly, because they want to have a coup d'etat. that's what this boils down to. >> harris: congressman andy biggs, thank you for joining me off the top. >> thanks, harris. >> harris: joe biden facing more scrutiny to overheating knew his son's dealings in ukraine were with a state department official. can joe biden maintain his top-tier status while

let's bring in correspondents and analysts and gloria, listen to steny hoyer, the house majority leadermeeting in the white house driveway. >> i have served with six presidents. i have been in many, many, many meetings like this. never have i seen a president treat so disrespectfully a co-equal branch of the government of the united states. >> what do you think? have you ever seen anything like this emerge, the way the president of the united states is smearing nancy pelosi? >> i think he's done it before to nancy pelosi. honestly, this is just devolved into fistfights every day. and it is sad to watch. and then congressman mccarthy, ken mccarthy the minority leader came out after this meeting and just said that pelosi was politicizing the meeting and it is not how a speaker should comport themselves and her behavior was unbecoming and concerning to him. what does that mean? >> you know what concerning to me, that there are people dying in syria and while this -- this comic tragedy -- tragic comedy is going on, there are people dying because of what the president did in withdrawing our

that's house majority leader steny hoyer this morning on impeachment, one of several democrats callingin the impeachment inquiry. >> the republicans can't to talk about process which i say is like a lawyer who has near the the law nor the facts on their side, they want to pound on the table. that's what they're doing, pounding on the table. that's what yesterday was about, pounding on the table. >> there's about 122 members of the house that have access to that room to participate in the proceedings. the republicans are whining because the president is whining. and frankly, i think they did what they did yesterday because the president was whining that they weren't fighting for him hard enough. >> and "the new york times" editorial board has its own idea about why the republicans stormed the capital yesterday, arguing that they're running out of options. joining me is carly fiorina, republican candidate for president in 2016. good to see you. >> good morning, chris, nice to be with you. >> i want to read you what "the new york times" editorial board wrote and what they're saying we're

impeachment one way or the other let's say by christmas, that was the goal to have it resolved by steny hoyer and comes to the senate, if the house moved on that to impeach the president, would you? >> here's what i said. a lot of senators i've heard say the say. they feel as committed as i do. we have a rule of law, we have a constitution and separation of powers and also we have to have the facts. whether the people like the president or not, the bottom line is the facts have to be there to support whatever the articles are. if they just have a political vote on articles of impeachment and there's no facts to substantiate removal of office, we'll see that. i'm going to wait until the facts come out before i make any decisions. i'm going to be part of that trial. i take it very seriously. no person is above the law, me, the president or anybody else. on the other hand, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. we haven't seen any facts to date. there's a lot going on right now. the house has under the constitution the house has to right to do what they're doing. a lot of the procedures have

steny hoyer another saying wrap it up. at least in the house.uld mean it goes to the senate for trial. if they impeach the president which is a leap at this point. then you have so many candidates running for president, going to the iow iowa caucuses. the super tuesday states. they are senators. they would have to be participating in it. all of a sudden a boomerangs back on them. what do you think? >> you have to imagine whether it's playing into democrats' calculations. it's a big deal. it may seem small because people can jump on planes and get back and forth quickly but it means that they need to be in washington to be present for those things. on top of that republicans control the senate so the democrats would be participating in hearings controlled by republicans as opposed to what we are seeing in the house now which can make a really big difference in terms of who's testifying, how the hearings are being run. it may not actually be -- even when you look at the democratic base and a primary, as helpful to them as they may have initially t

on that issue, impeachment whole thing, where this all lands, steny hoyer says if it comes to a processe it wrapped up. obviously speaking for leadership by the end of this year. we'll see how that goes. gm and uaw reaching what they call a tentative deal. we'll get the deal from toyota north american ceo jim lintz, right after this. hey'll be okay? i think they'll be fine. voya. helping you to and through retirement. i've been through two tours of duty, and luckily, i came home with my health. but what almost ended up taking me down... was a stroke. i thought i was invincible. but it's really humbling to face an enemy you don't see coming. fortunately, life line screening showed me i was at risk. life line screening is the easy and affordable way to make you aware of undetected health problems before they hurt you. after all, 4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first symptom is a stroke! we use ultrasound technology to literally look inside your arteries for plaque that builds up as you age- and increases your risk for stroke and heart disease. if you're over 40, call to schedul

out front tonight, house majority leader steny hoyer. i appreciate your time tonight and of course, as you heard, we understand democrats are starting to discuss what articles of impeachment would look like and your colleague david sisilini says members of congress would be talking about what the articles can include. what can you tell us? >> the speaker and i both said that we want to wait to get all of the facts on whether or not we make decisions to move forward. i'm not surprised that members are talking about this possibility, that possibility and the other possibility, but what we are doing now is the fact finding investigation portion of our responsibility under the constitution. when that's completed then it will be timely to discuss, if it is prop tore move ahead, how so, what should the articles of impeachment be or article of impeachment be and i'm sure members are discussing that themselves. so do you think -- you're using words leak if and all the facts is it still an "if," do you think after going as far as what you've seen

there was kind of a controversy when some of the reporters, the house speaker pelosi said to steny hoyer it an impeachment resolution. they said it is not an impeachment resolution. wait may not, what should we call is it? they were concerned because they thought the public would conflate it that way. all but two house democrats voted for this, so they must feel this is the right thing to do, but some democrats gloisare little squeamish about it. a freshman democrat from new jersey flipped that district from red to blue, and he's been skeptical of the process the entire time, he voted against it. and peterson, a fascinating statistic, when they voted to impanel the impeachment inquiry in 1998, regarding president clinton, there were only two democrats remaining in the house who voted for that, ron kind of wisconsin and colin peterson. peterson voted for that back in 98. he voted no today. >> i've been following your social media. you are on the inside and giving your followers great insight into this whole process. it looks like this is going to happen, tonline futures market -- on-line

. >> speaker -- >> you just heard house speaker nancy pelosi, house majority leader steny hoyer and senate minority leader chuck schumer, democrat of new york, all talking about how they had walked out of a meeting with president trump. schumer called it a nasty diatribe by president trump where he insulted house speaker pelosi as a third-rate politician and speaker pelosi said the president had a meltdown and this comes right after the house of representatives overwhelmingly, 354 to 60, with three voting present, voted to rebuke president trump's decision to pull u.s. service members from the border of turkey and syria from northern syria, including 129 republicans, including all of the house republican leadership voting to rebuke president trump's decision. it is a stunning dis by the house. >> a small handful of times that has happened and that sums up the sentiment among republicans across the spectrum. evangelicals, moderate republicans and others who believe that, a., they are not sure if the president has a strategy, and if he does, they are not believing it is the right one here. b

today, house majority leader steny hoyer quibble with calling the measure and impeachment resolution, so i asked him if democrats were concerned with it being perceived as impeachment. he said "i want to be very careful with my verdict." fox has told moderate democrats are concerned about publicpu interpretation of the resolution. there's a risk for republicans, is also coming this, top republican on the oversight committee, jim jordan of ohio, predicted no g.o.p. defections fieldhouse minority whip steve scalise urged a no vote. republicans from battleground districts could face a choice: vote for the impeachment resolution or break with their colleagues and get a primary challenge, to say nothing of igniting the ire of president trump. also, this impeachment resolution gives great latitude to the house intelligence committee. that's rare in an impeachment investigation. the judiciary committee would ultimately write the articles of impeachment, but they may argue that president from goetz rights to defend himself there are committee meetings. in the last the committee heard from ind

house majority leader steny hoyer would they amend the house session to keep them in session this year quote, i don't want to make that judgment now. the time will be dictated when we get there. you know what else will dictate when they get it done? impeachment. connell: that does have an impact, right? >> absolutely. connell: has an impact on everything i would think. i was going to ask the politics of that slows it down some more or politically? >> you can see ways to accelerate the trade agreement. democrats really want to get to yes. this is good policy. that way they aren't painted just doing impeachment. they can say we're legislating, tending to economic issues. that is paramount in the mind of nancy pelosi. connell: canada had their own election with justin trudeau. that could maybe play. you mentioned impeachment, shift gears a little bit before we let you go, chad, we may have had a significant development in the impeachment inquiry, i say may, acting ambassador to ukraine bill taylor was up testifying. what do we know if anything about what he actually said and how it change

the speaker and steny hoyer and others left before. i stayed for a while longer because i wanted to make a point to the president. when it finally came to my time, i said, look, there's no one here who has greater love of country than the other. we may have, however, different views as to how we secure the nation. i disagree with the decision you made as commander in chief. evidently a strong vote in the house shares that view and i believe a strong vote in the senate will do the same. having said that, it's what happens now. you talk about sanctions against turkey. it's rather late for that. the sanctions that you have levied have meant nothing to turkey. they're not stopping the process of their engaejmegement in syrid the turkish stock market went on. you have 14,000, 18,000 fighters, that's what the inspector general at the department of defense says that, there are 14 to 18,000 isis fighters. if the 10,000 that were detained pie t by the kurds get unleerkashed, you're talking about a fighting force of 30,000. that is a clear and p

if you listen to it nancy pelosi and steny hoyer said in the last 24 hours, they have admitted publiclyo have this vote. they don't really think it's going to change that much. i think most don't like both parties agree not much has changed. what changes they felt public pressure about a lack of transparency. during this buying closed doors. if these "new rules" are so important, why spend five weeks behind closed doors building this? when i do it out of the open the whole time? >> harris: you know who we have? jose aristimuno. jose, the question is for you. why did it take so long? >> look, i think nancy pelosi has been clear from the beginning. she has the constitutional power to do with the way she was doing it before. she's doing this because republicans, they say it's been being done the wrong way. >> harris: was that showing up in polling? >> we will continue to do it. that's the most support and thing. he will continue to do what a majority of americans understand. the impeachment inquiry must continue. if you want to formalize it like we did today, we'll do that. but the investi
