severely restricted in largely limited to other eastern bloc countries so after the wall fell come steve i bush travelled the world and made his hobby his profession the train physicist became a photographer and published books of his photos. doesn't disappear my as i was saying then i never believed i'd see all of that but i was convinced that something would happen at some point and i always said they can't paint a scene forever that even that. bus . my niece germany from my childhood onwards it was self-evident that there was a wall and that bank wherever you went south east west or even to the coast at some point you could go no further the idea of leaving and going to the west was not an unusual one for east germans but doing so had serious consequences at this point i would have thought that my mother wouldn't be able to visit me regularly was so painful that i didn't pursue the idea further help. didn't found my thoughts were for 4 years after the berlin wall fell it became his main subject. i tried to photograph the wall in its original state that the window of opportunity was quite lim

steve. well with all due respect you know i love you george w. bush is not the reason that that brave 18 year old private is going to afghanistan he volunteered he's the reason he's going to afghanistan he shows as so many other thousands and tens of thousands of brave young american young men and women do they feel the need to serve this country they don't look at the way that you look at it they don't look at the way that others look at it they like he said i don't care that i'm going to afghanistan i have a job to do a job that he has chosen to do that's what americans do and they army in the navy the air that the forces that we have now are volunteer so these are brave me other men and women who keep signing up to go to these places that must be something to it. puts you guys here at the table i mean it is this is a blunder and i go understand what steve saying they're volunteering but we've allowed a war that's going on now 18 years of their entire lives at this point there's something inherently wrong with that is it not lionel's that historical

steve: aren't they all busy these days, kevin? >> pretty much, right. i covered bush. g like covering the trump white house. steve: new big story every day. pete: it's true. we are learning more about the legal defense for these so-called when i cans as well. turns out former staffer of hillary clinton. former staffer of chuck schumer has been tweeting out regularly hey, if you are a whistleblower come on out we will lawyer you up. ainsley: with a discount. >> especially if you are in the intelligence community can calls into question who has access to what and why they're leaking it. >> if you want to take down the president. if you have any information, if you want to be a whistleblower, too. come to our law firm. we will represent you at a discount. steve: those tweets go back a couple of years. they have been looking for a while, period. the president of the united states, i think i heard him yesterday in one of his on camera appearances and he was talking about the whistleblower talking about the deep state. he said there are people in the intel communities who are

. >> a former aide to president bush, and steve israel is back with me, elizabeth warren's saying so far has been "ie a plan for that." this is a guy who was at an rcc and he did several he could to make a plan for that. >> guess what. clearly you impacted him and he has nothing to show for it. >> so it has been hard for her opponents to put a chink in her armor. she has not very much. the ag ra gate -- and she is forced now to say okay then. >> and that opponent you're talking about is joe biden, he said this, it is mystifying that for someone that has a plan for everything at the corner of her pitch to voters, she released a plan after enduring immense pressure for refusing to do so. >> is joe biden doing that? >> it is joe biden, but also pete buttigieg and his way he talked about in the debate. and i think now joe biden and others find an effective way talking about how she is e evasive, and it is a different way of saying you skraent this. you're being a little evasive. >> how much is it helping them that they're saying we can't go that far, but we can go right here in the middle and here is ho

i mean be kind to everyone. steve: but there has been backlash because some people just simply do not like george w. bushi appreciate what she did. >> kudos to her. >> now ellen get to see the people that she represents, the party that she represent, what they do. >> yep. >> it's like the mob. >> um-huh. >> they bash you when you don't go along with their agenda. brian: that's what happened at minneapolis arena last night. >> i don't want to focus on the protesters there were more people inside that arena. over 20,000 people. and outside the arena. >> yes. >> than the protesters. so why are we focusing on the protesters. brian: they are just intolerant is my point. ainsley: actor. first put out a tweet saying she supports ellen and she had to take it down because she had had so many people that said so many things. mark rough low has been very mark ruffalo has been very. >> that's so sad. >> really sad. >> we want to look at the atrocities that happen in america. let's look at the democratic party. >> that's right. >> the party of kkk. >> that's right. >> the party of jim crow. >> the party of slavery. >

i don't agree with everything george bush stood for. why can't we enjoy a football game together. steven hour ago. he had this observation what happens when the famous tweet. >> it's a simple line. opinions become vitriol. so what you agree or disagree with someone on issues, vitriol is the response. whether you're famous or not. anonymous internet troll. whether you play a fantasy role in a fantasy movie, it doesn't make any difference. you're part of the twitter mob. ed: reese witherspoon shut it down. steve: send your comments to facebook. ed: time to be kind to jillian. jillian: you're always kind to my. a former nbc staffer accusing matt lauer of sexual aassault thanking her supporters. she claimed that the former "today" show host raped her in a hotel room in russia. that complaint led his firing. he denied the allegations in a hour. the story brook tells is filled with false details intended to create the impression this bass abusive encounter. nothing could be further from the truth. nevilles calls the letter a case study in victim blaming. >>> a doctor and nurse are charged dis

bush 43. i really enjoyed your column. i cut it out and put it on my kitchen counter to save. you are one of those. >> steve basically speed is not a constitutional virtue in these cases. jerry nadler said almost the exact same thing a year ago. he said when you move to impeach a president you are moving to overturn an election. he said it's a high bar. you need the support of strum voters. people who voted for trump. they don't have any of that. what miss pelosi did, she defied all precedent by going right to this inquiry without a house vote. trish: how unprecedented is that? >> very unprecedented. in the 19th century when andrew johnson was impeached, it was somewhat different. but the full house got to vote first on articles of impeachment. nixon in '74 and bill clinton in 1998. when they moved ahead they gave the ranking member of the party subpoena rights. she is doing it by decree. it's so -- the house is supposed to be the people's chamber. this is so unprecedented. the reason it's important. when the committee meets as an impeachment committee, they are entitled to more documents from the president

bush and obama administrations and worked with ambassador bill taylor. everybody, thank you. geoff bennett. steve scalise ordered pizza for the press. i was just speaking with a democratic lawmaker who called the move the republicans are doing desperate. regardless, it seems like this testimony from cooper is not going to happen anytime soon. >> it looks that way, katy. and here's what's happening. days of process arguments from republicans. republicans have been complaining about this closed-door deposition process. they say it should happen in the light of day. right? that's been their number one talking point as a means of undercutting, trying to undercut the impeachment inquiry. well, that escalated today. florida republican matt gaetz leading dozens of republican members of congress, none of them on the three relevant committees that are leading this investigative work. they bum-rushed the room according to members who were there and told us what happened. and as you mentioned, they brought their cell phones in, their electronic devices into a secure area. that in any other universe is a huge violation. so we'll have to see how d

around, both of you -- i bring in yamiche el cinder with the pbs news hour, michael steele, former senior adviser to jeb bush and former spokesman for speaker john bainey, and steveacki, nbc news political correspondent and host of the new must-listen podcast "article ii: inside impeachment." steve, to you first. what is your reaction to heidi's reporting? >> yeah, i mean, it's interesting. i think there's a general sense that that's exactly where this thing is heading and has been heading. the democrats will at some point introduce, draw up articles of impeachment, formal articles of impeachment, that it would go roughly in the direction that heidi's describing there and that it's starting to look, just based on what's been coming out from the testimony, based on the reaction from the white house, just given that they control the house, it's starting to look likely they'd have the votes if they go in that direction. >> yamiche, let's talk republicans, because i'm confused. the president tweeting this morning about the republican strategy, saying "go with substance and close it out." what does he mean and how do they change strategy now? because just days ago, th

bush, do you hang out with any republicans? he said i got in the truck with a guy and hung around. steve: we don't recommend it.ing in the polls, some leading joe biden. when you look who was attacked most, who was center of attention, it was elizabeth warren. you know, brian, mentioned klobuchar, the moderate voice struggling there, it was the moment when klobuchar really laid into elizabeth warren about her plans and how feasible it is and how they will pay for it, really stood out as perhaps a moment. watch. >> i appreciate elizabeth's work, but the difference between a plan and a pipe-dream is something you can actually get done. reporter: impeachment was of course going to be front and center. this is the first debate since the impeachment inquiry began. not all the candidates were on the same page but definitely singing from the same sheet of music now. listen. >> the impeachment must go forward. >> trump is the most corrupt president in the history of this country. >> i don't really think this impeachment process will take very long, as a former prosecutor, i know a confession when i see it. >> we have t

brian: i agree with you it doesn't mean she is going to rail against you. steve: she is a partisan. brian: she will say appointed by bushnot a partisan. steve: jim jordan says adam schiff is a hyper partisan. you know exactly what he is going to do. he is bias you had. here is another day from the past. here he is last night with hannity. >> nancy pelosi putting adam schiff in charge of this impeachment inquiry is exactly what jim comey did when he put peter strzok in charge of the trump-russia investigation. someone as biased as adam schiff even democrats would agree 350er9 strzok should have never been running that investigation. he is the one that said don't worry, lisa, we will stop trump. nancy pelosi is doing the same thing with putting adam schiff in charge the investigation. brian: everything lead up to a vote and everyone is going to be shocked and amazed when democrats have enough votes for impeachment. they will say it in a prayerful way. steve: what will the articles of impeachment say? so far they don't have the quid pro quo. you know, we we had heard from the reports on the whistleblower the president made
