tom steyer is "outfront." good to have you back, tom.ve got your town hall tonight. why do you think this impeachment right now, this conversation, is still democrats' top priority, or should be their top priority? >> well, erin, i believe that we have a crisis in the united states. the crisis is the president of the united states. and that the constitution gives us one solution, which is to impeach him and remove him from office. and until that happens, the country's at risk. people are going to be suffering and we'll not be doing the right thing. so i think it's the crisis and, therefore, we should deal with it directly. >> all right. so when you say it's the crisis, look, you're being very clear where you stand. so you're holding this event in the district of congressman jerry nadler. now, jerry nadler is very important, right? he's the chairman of the committee that would initiate the impeachment proceedings and he's been extremely careful, as you are probably painfully aware, to not jump on the impeachment train. here's his reason.

two nights ago, tom steyer was in baltimore in chairman cummings' district. urging his constituents to push chairman cummings to push ahead with impeachment. that's what this things about today, the crazy impeachment plan of the democrats. >> bret: you know, former new jersey governor chris christie watched the hearing today. former trump confidant. here's what he had to say about the republican questioning. >> i think the institute thing is that there has not been more republicans yet who have tried to defend the president on the substance for that something that should be concerning for the white house. why are no republicans standing up for defending the president on the substance? that's either a failure of those republicans on the hill or a failure of the white house to have a unified strategy with them for they knew what was coming with michael cohen. >> bret: your reaction to that? >> michael cohen cannot be trusted. the democrats' first announced witness of this congress is a guy who's going to prison, will be a federal inmate in two months for lying
