democratic congressman peter welch is on the intelligence and oversight committees.n in the room for much of sondland's testimony today. and just from the letter, from the opening statement that the -- that was made public, congressman welch, i want to put up what he said about his -- about the phone conversation with the president. and start our questioning from there. i called president trump directly. i asked the president what do you want from ukraine? the president responded nothing. there is no quid pro quo. the president repeated no quid pro quo multiple times. this was a very short call and i recall that the president was in a bad mood. congressman welch, gordon sondland today, did he paint a picture of the president calling the shots here on ukraine? or of rudy giuliani calling the shots here on ukraine? >> well, as you know, his testimony is continuing but his opening statement which is public made it very, very clear that giuliani was in charge of the real ukraine policy. in some ways, sondland was a perfect person to be the ambassador because essentially

we just heard congressman peter welch create some breaking news here. he's a member of the committee who's heard the testimony of ambassador sondland, now ambassador taylor. he believes gordon sondland is close to or in danger of perjury charges for his testimony. >> lawrence, i'll leave that to the lawyer in the trio here this evening, jeremy. but i will say that there is absolutely no reason not to believe everything that bill taylor has said. i first served with bill taylor when i was the assistant secretary for legislative affairs in the first clinton administration after the fall of the soviet union, i got help to get the first $1.2 billion for the newly independent states and bill was in charge of what was called the freedom fund to try to give that money to states and it was very bipartisan. i remember quite clearly senator mcconnell pushing us hard for $300 million to go to ukraine. he was terribly, terribly concerned about ukraine and its future and its destiny and separating it from russia. so what your colleagues on the camera said before us,

to discuss, i am joined by gene munster, and david welch.id, let's start with you. 97,000, a record, but not 100,000. good or bad? >> it is a record for them, but not a record by much. hey could probably get to 100,000 if they pushed. i wonder if he hadn't said anything, if shares were reacting better, because it really was a solid quarter. more alarming for investors, most of the vehicles now settled are -- sold are lower margin s,el 3's, and less model model x, the really expensive vehicles, so where are the profits coming from if you are selling these lower margin vehicles? >> gene, what is your take on the 97,000 number? >> i think it is a great number. also, it would be perceived as much better if not for the friday email. here,k there's two topics what's going on with the fundamentals of tesla, and the communication around the story. and elon musk continues to say things that aren't good for the stock, in this case. if we look at fundamentals, whic at should be most important, the fact they got a record. incontext puts them loosely on

congressman welch, someone's not telling the truth there. >> that's right. i think sondland has a lot of explaining to do. what's worth pointing out there's two categories of witnesses here. there's the political class and i put sondland in that category and it's pretty sordid. it's about being self-serving, and about concealing what kwyoue doing. and then there are the civil servant witnesses like the people today, like ambassador taylor. and it's about duty. those folks are inspiring. they are about teamwork, about long-term service of our country. and that's what's the inspiring part, but we've got the sordid. and i put sondland in that category, quite frankly. he bought an ambassadorship. he wanted to please the president. he had no long-term commitment to what the ukraine policy has traditionally been and even one buy john bolton supported to root out corruption in ukraine and defend it from foreign aggression. so sondland has got a lot of explaining to do, but he was clearly doing the bidding of the president. >> we all know it was public information t

thank you so much, congressman welch. we appreciate you coming on. >> and out front next, more on today's crucial testimony. who told morrison to steer clear of rudy giuliani and why? plus the white house says it doesn't want to talk publicly about its impeachment strategy. is that because there isn't one? and we'll hear from the republican lawmaker who said trump's call with the ukrainian president was, quote, not okay so what is he saying tonight? car like i treat mine. adp helps airtech automotive streamline payroll and hr, so welby torres can achieve what he's working for. can match the power of energizer. because energizer ultimate lithium is the longest lasting aa battery in the world.

we had congressman peter welch with us the other night. and after william taylor testified in direct contradiction of ambassador sondland, let's listen to what congressman welch said about the possibility of perjury charges there. is gordon sondland in danger of perjury charges of his testimony to your committee? >> i think he is. the evidence is coming out now that he, in fact, was a very active instrument to try to essentially assist giuliani in the effort to have this rogue foreign policy. so, yes, i think ambassador sondland has some reason to be worried about how his testimony is going to be evaluated when reviewed by potential prosecutors. >> and today ambassador sondland's criminal defense lawyers relied on the do not recall defense to cover the conflict in his testimony with ambassador taylor's testimony. what is your sense of how much possible perjury charge danger ambassador sondland is in? >> i think a lot of what we're seeing here does reveal a decent amount of testimony that, frankly, just isn't lining up. this is exactly why

we can speak now to chris welch, music journalist and former assistant editor at melody maker.ry powerful personality, a very powerful personality combo somebody whose company you did not want to get on the wrong side of him. i knew him since about 1964, when i first interviewed him for a melody maker, and he always appreciated the fact that i understood what he was trying to do with the drum kit, sticky professional interest in his plane. wheels got on very well, write to the end. i last saw him about a year ago. but over the years, he went through lots of different changes. the could be a quite mild ginger baker, surprisingly, he was not a lwa ys baker, surprisingly, he was not always in a terrible page and really well, but that side of them did not appear often. he seemed to clash with a lot of his bandmates over the yea rs. with a lot of his bandmates over the years. why do you think that was, artistic differences? he had an explosive temperament, that is true, and everything he wanted to do... he was a great fan of things like cycling. when he first started out asa cycling
