To somebody else. Yeah. Whats your take . Well, like i said, if the fruit fits. But this is crazy times. I was sitting in my office watching your show with my my executive producer, and you were playing what the president was saying with macron today. And i said, that is the president of the United States saying things about other people, leaders in the country, calling them crazy and deranged. And i said, when have you ever heard a leader from any country speak of any other leader in the way that this person is speaking of other people . Its just unheard of. My 10yearold nephew does not do that, and if he did, if one of your children did, wouldnt you discipline them and tell them, dont do that . I dont understand whats going on with the Republican Party. If they want to go down this road and they want to be known as the party that allowed america to be derailed by someone who speaks and conducts themselves this way, then by all means let them do it because one day there will be a democratic president , and they will come into office, he or she, and hopefully they wont conduct themselves that way. But they will be able to get away with anything, and the Republican Partys hair will be on fire. Well, look, i hope that doesnt happen, right . Because i always hope that the course of correction is not one of retribution. I hope it doesnt happen, but it will. In politics. You know, the fix for them and, look, i was just having this argument with a lawyer on my show. In 1998, these people are making all the opposite arguments about what was going on with bill clinton. You know, they couldnt find a bar low enough to get that guy. It started about real estate, and it ended about an intern and him lying about sex. It was different because its different. Listen, what bill clinton did was wrong. No question about it. Dont get me wrong. No one is making an excuse for what bill clinton did. But what bill clinton did didnt have to do with foreign policy. No. Right . It wasnt even close. The way he conducted the business of his office, the way he handled his office. Right. He handled his business, right . It was a personal failing as a man and in his marriage, and it was an abuse of it was a power imbalance with someone who worked in his office. Not right, but different. Definitely wrong, and he lied about it, which made it arguably illegal and wrong. Right. However and its a big however. Its not a false equivalency. Its not making things okay. He cut more deals during impeachment than he did on either side of it. He had higher job approval numbers during that process for two reasons. One, it seemed a little ridiculous for people to be chasing after him over the kinds of things that they figure most of them are doing anyway, and most people in this country may be doing. The second thing was well, many people. Not most, but many. No, many. Many people. I think the hypocrisy level is high in this country when it comes to those kind of peccadil peccadillos. I think that wals part of it, a little holier than thou syndrome. The second part is they wanted things done. This president is taking a different course. Ill tell you what, people like Lindsey Graham are in a box. I know right now it seems like smooth sailing for him because hes in the popular embrace o. A thats when their answer gets easy. When somebody shows him hes at 94 in the party, you will get primaried, you may lose, things start to get to be a little bit of an easier choice. And what used to be your high dudgeon of the failure of character doesnt bother you so much anymore. Now its got to be treason. If its not treason, then you cant impeach, when it used to be Lindsey Graham saying, it doesnt even have to be a crime. Ill tell you what. Like the old folks used to say, youre living high on the hog now. But one day the hog gets slaughtered and the hog dies, and youre on the ground. What are you going to do then . You got to walk for yourself. When we look back at history, and theres videotape its digital now but when these folks look back and see the sound bites and they see the way history records them, they will be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. You mark my words, they will be, history has shown. How will you be remembered because this time will be. Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, sir. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. We are just hours away from the next move in impeachment. The first public hearing in the Judiciary Committee. That coming as the Intel Committee releases its 300page impeachment report. Here it is. It is enormous. Got it right here. Were going to read it for you. No, were not going to read it for you. Were going to go through the important parts of this report. But lets be absolutely clear here about what this report says. It tells a story of conspiracy at the highest levels of our government. Conspiracy to extort. Thats what it is. This is not about quid pro quo, right . That cute little phrase or that phrase that they think is cute. No quid pro quo. This is about extortion, a conspiracy to extort a foreign power for the political benefit of the president of the United States. And it wasnt just the president acting alone. The report says the president s men, all of his yes men were in on it too. And it was about much, much, much more than that infamous ukraine phone call, and i quote here. This is from the report. This telephone call was neither the start nor the end of President Trumps efforts to bend u. S. Foreign policy for his personal gain. Rather, it was a dramatic crescendo within a monthslong campaign driven by President Trump in which senior u. S. Officials, including the Vice President , the secretary of state, the acting chief of staff, the secretary of energy, and others were either knowledgeable of or active participants in an effort to extract from a foreign nation the personal political benefits sought by the president. And the thing about all of this is the facts are not really in dispute. The facts that came out of the investigation and more than 130 hours of public and private testimony by 17 witnesses the facts are not in dispute. But the spin, well, thats a different story. The spin, whew, make you dizzy. The president s republican defenders will tell you there is nothing new in this. Theyll say, theres nothing to see here. Move along. Wrong. There is a big surprise in this report, something that we didnt know about before. Theres neverbeforeseen phone records for key players in the ukraine shakedown, including Rudy Giuliani, his indicted associate lev parnas, and devin nunes. Yes, that devin nunes, the Top Republican on the Intel Committee. The logs show him in multiple calls with the president s attorney and with parnas this past april in the weeks before ambassador Marie Yovanovich was forced out. I want you to take a look at this is nunes call log for april 10th. Five calls with giuliani in the space of 15 minutes. Five calls. Two days later, nunes has four calls with parnas, who has been charged with illegally funneling foreign donations to republicans in 2018. We dont know what was said on those calls. Nunes has refused multiple requests for comment from cnn, including dodging a question from our very own manu raju. Look. Reporter what is your reaction to being named in the report, sir . Hmm . Somebody Say Something . Just kept walking. Now, take a look at this. Rudy giulianis phone records for april 24th. See those highlighted calls there on the screen . Theyre all calls between giuliani and the white house, eight of them, on the very day ambassador yovanovich was told to get on the next plane and get out of ukraine. You remember giuliani waged a Public Campaign against the ambassador. So the timing of all those calls is interesting to say the least. And speaking of the timing, the report indicates that house investigators got hold of those phone records in september. That was well before the public impeachment hearings began. So they knew about nunes possible involvement. Is this something he maybe should have disclosed during those hearings . You think . Adam schiff saying this today. It is, i think, deeply concerning that at a time when the president of the United States was using the power of his office to dig up dirt on a political rival, that there may be evidence that there were members of Congress Complicit in that activity. Now, theres a lot more to learn about that, and i dont want to state that that is an unequivocal fact. But the allegations are deeply concerning. Well, the white house reaction to all of this, playing the role of press secretary stephanie grisham, who has still never held a press briefing, comparing the report to what she calls the ramblings of a basement blogger. Hmm. Where have we heard Something Like that before . Oh, yeah, this. I dont think anybody knows it was russia that broke into the dnc. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay . Kind of makes you wonder who wrote that statement, doesnt it . My guest here. This is a president who always wants to ignore inconvenient facts. I want you to just listen to how he tried to explain away the impeachment inquiry. This was just this morning. Youll have a democrat president. Youll have a republican house, and theyll do the same thing because somebody picked an orange out of a refrigerator, and you dont like it, so lets go and impeach him. Orange, refrigerator. Exactly the same thing. He has a habit of ignoring inconvenient facts, even pretending im going to give you some proof, okay, to stand by. Even pretending that he doesnt know central figures in the investigation, like gordon sondland, the Million Dollar trump donor who and this is probably just a big old coincidence was appointed by the president to be the ambassador to the eu. Roll it. I i hardly know the gentleman. Well, you knew him well enough to tweet that he was a really good man and great american. Of course that was before his inconvenient testimony in the impeachment inquiry. But thats the kind of, you know thats this president s m. O. He did it with his Campaign Chairman paul manafort. Here it is. I didnt know manafort well. He wasnt with the campaign long. I told you, some evidence. He did it with his own personal lawyer, former trump fixer and keeper of secrets, michael cohen. But hes been a lawyer for me, didnt do big deals, did small deals. Not somebody that was with me that much. He did it with his other personal lawyers clients, claiming he doesnt know two indicted associates of Rudy Giuliani, igor fruman and lev parnas. I dont know those gentlemen. Now, its possible i have a picture with them because i have a picture with everybody. I have a picture with everybody here. But somebody said there may be a picture or something at a fundraiser or somewhere. But i have pictures with everybody. I have i dont know if theres anybody i dont have pictures i dont know them. I dont know about them. I dont know what they do. Interesting that he says there might be a picture because guess what . There is. Actually there are quite a few pictures, more than youd think if you didnt know those gentlemen, gentlemen who have been indicted for Campaign Finance violations and federal prosecutors in new york say are likely to face additional charges. Like i said, its the president s m. O. Remember this. I said this before to you. That indicates hes thinking, hes thinking, i dont know. Remember that. I dont know prince andrew, but its thats a tough story. Its a very tough story. That was prince andrew. He doesnt know the prince. The prince that he shook hands with during his state visit to the uk. This was in june. The prince he met with along with thenprime minister theresa may, the prince he was photographed with. This was at maralago back in 2000. Nope, doesnt know him. Inconvenient. Like i said, this president ignores inconvenient people. He ignores inconvenient facts. But there are a lot of facts coming out of this impeachment investigation that are really inconvenient, and he wont be able to ignore those. 300 pages. 300. 17 witnesses. 130 hours of public and private testimony. Just how strong is the democrats case against the president . Thats a question for jamie gangel, frank bruni, guy smith, next. [narrator] meet the ninja foodi air fry oven. Make familysized meals fast, and because its a ninja foodi, it can do things no other oven can, like flip away. The ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. Says they can save you dollars. Which makes it hard to believe, especially coming from a talking lizard. Cheerio esurance is built to save you dollars. And when they save dollars, you save dollars. So get a quote. When insurance is affordable, its surprisingly painless. The House Intelligence Committee releasing its damning impeachment report, finding what it calls overwhelming evidence of President Trumps misconduct and obstruction of congress, and it concludes the president s top aides knew about the scheme to shake down ukraine for dirt on joe biden. Lets discuss now. Jamie gangel is here, frank bruni, guy smith. So good to have you all here onset with me. Good evening, one and all. Guy, the intel report paints a picture of conspiracy at the highest levels of government. How strong do you think is the democrats case against the president . The water just got really deep for donald trump. If you compare this whats said in this document to what was said about andrew johnson, about even Richard Nixon john dean said this earlier this evening and bill clinton, this is by far way more extreme, and the detail is extraordinary. And if you take the detail thats in here and compare it to what the republicans put out the other day, which doesnt deny any of the actions. This is all baghdad bob and joe isuzu in this thing. I mean the scary thing for donald trump is hes not sending his lawyers. Theyre not defending him. He isnt defending himself, and you got devin nunes running around ukraine and austria and god knows wherever else making phone calls. Hes going to go to jail. I said this about giuliani, and so is nunes. Theyre violating allegedly. Allegedly devin nunes doing all of that. But, listen, ive got to ask you because youre a journalist. Im a commentator. You said the water got really high, right . So using that analogy, its like the ship analogy, the water analogy. The president is clearly steering the ship, but youve got people like the report makes it clear pence, pompeo, perry, mulvaney. They were all either knowledgeable or active participants. So what happened here . Whats going on . I was going to say to extend the metaphor, the crew is much more populist than we realize. I think one of the most compelling narratives of this, and i dont mean compelling good, is the sheer number of people who once in the beginning renounced donald trump, who saw him clearly before he won the presidency, who shelved all of their principles just to be near power and just to have some power themselves. And you are seeing person after person, mulvaney, rick perry to a lesser degree, you know certainly pompeo, very striking. Youre seeing person after person decide that theyre going to buck up and support this president no matter what he did, no matter what principles theyve ever espoused in the past. It is one of the most sobering political lessons ive received in my lifetime, how much political selfinterest will trump principle forgive my choice of word in the end. Let me read the very first line. This report reflects the evidence gathered thus far. Thus far . Is there more to come because of all the democrat surprises with this new evidence today . There were phone call records. Right. I think thus far is going to go down along with everyone was in the loop and get over it. What weve seen are inconvenient facts, inconvenient people, today inconvenient phone records. And i think there is much more to come. Here are the questions you have to ask. Whats coming out of the Southern District of new york . Why is all of a sudden were reporting tonight, jim acosta, our colleague, that white house sources are saying that rudys in trouble with the president , that he needs to be distanced from rudy. So i think all of these things are going, but there are two phone calls that i wanted to point to, and those are phone calls on august 8th and april 24th. And those are phone calls Rudy Giuliani to omb. I spoke to several sources tonight who said, why in the world is Rudy Giuliani calling omb . There is just no reason for that whatsoever. And the quote was, it was highly suspicious. So now we have to ask, you know, what were those calls about, and why in the world was the president s personal lawyer involved with that . One is a 13minute phone call with the office of management and budget, omb, as you mentioned. What does that mean, guy . It means they were setting up the hold on the military aid, and he had probably either was just about to or just had communicated to the ukrainians that if you dont do what were asking you or telling you to do, youre not getting the aid. Jamie, can you expound more on what you said about jim acostas reporting about the president the campaign is souring on giuliani . So heres you know, the other day we heard rudy said he said he was joking but that he has insurance on the president. When you talk to former white house officials, people who have worked for donald trump, they will tell you that on monday, Donald Trump Tells you to do this. On tuesday, he tells you to do the opposite. And be very careful what you do because if it doesnt turn out the way he wants it to turn out, he will forget that he told you that. Im not saying that Rudy Giuliani taperecorded the president. Im not saying he didnt taperecord the president. But i dont think it was an accident that rudy said he had insurance on trump because of trumps reputation. No, i think thats a great point because why has rudy not been thrown to the wolves yet . Correct. Because maybe he cant be thrown to the wolves. Thats right. As we say, what you mean by that . Maybe if he gets thrown to the wolves, the president ends up getting bitten by these wo wolves. Hes all over these phone calls. Hes so deep into the administrations business. If Rudy Giuliani is thrown to the wolves, he may begin talking about things that become, you know, more damning than what weve seen so far. You ask what else is going to come . On the giuliani thing, think about what bolton said about giuliani. Bolton, were going to hear from. Bolton is a Movement Conservative icon. He was a real never trumper before. When are we going to hear from him . I dont know, but it will and i dont think youre even going to get a vote before christmas because i think theres going to be more cascade of things from i mean pompeo wants to run for senate in kansas. Hes got to maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe not. But heres the issue. Thus far means that the democrats have more, and where that comes and what it is, we dont know yet. But i will tell you the republicans are worried about it. This whole thing is going to be closed and were going to learn more on the tail end whether its from boltons book. And one of the frustrating things here is the fact pattern is already so damning and we know the conclusion here. He does not get removed from office because republicans have shelved their principles forever in the case of this thank you all. The impeachment reports revealing calls republican congressman devin nunes ha with Rudy Giuliani and his indicted associate lev parnas. Congressman krishnamoorthi is going to weigh in next. Ilitary s at home and abroad for all their hard work and sacrifice. We all sleep easier knowing youre out there keeping us safe. And on a personal note. Sfx jet engines.

The house Intel Committee voting tonight to send their impeachment report to the judiciary. The 300page report lays out evidence of misconduct by President Trump and reveals neverbeforeseen phone records that are raising troubling questions about some of the president s allies. Joining me now, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, democratic congressman raja krishnamoorthi. Im going to get to those phone records. Thank you very much. What does thus far mean . Can you tell us what that means . Sure. I think that, you know, as this inquiry has proceeded and even during the hearings, people were coming forward with information. The challenge is you have to sift through the information. You have to see whats legitimate and whats not, and you cant just kind of convene a hearing with a new witness. You need to first receive their documents, make sure that its relevant, it would actually move things along in terms of our understanding of whats happening. Mmhmm. And i think thats what i think chairman schiff was referring to by thus far. So the Investigation Continues even after we submitted our report or send our report to the Judiciary Committee. But for right now, we thought that the evidence is so overwhelming with regard to the wrongdoing at issue, we had to forward this particular report, and then we can supplement it later if need be. Lets talk about those call records. Devin nunes, the ranking republican on your committee, was communicating with Rudy Giuliani. Five calls in 15 minutes. Two days later, four calls between nunes and lef par nasz on important dates in the ukraine time line. When did you become aware of these calls, congressman . Well, we became aware of these calls once the records came in. As you know, mr. Parnas and giuliani were trying to dig up dirt on biden at that time, and so this raises troubling questions as to what mr. Nunes may or may not have had a role in with regard to that issue. The body language between chairman schiff and nunes showed the atmosphere was tense, especially as congressman nunes defended the president peddled ukraine conspiracy theories. I want you to listen to some of that, and then well talk. Once you understand that ukrainian officials were cooperating directly with President Trumps political opponents to undermine his candidacy, its easy to understand why the president would want to learn the full truth about these operations and why he would be skeptical of ukraine. Hunter biden. Biden is another witness who the democrats are sparing from crossexamination. The securing of an extremely wellpaying job on the board of a corrupt ukrainian company, burisma, highlights the precise corruption problem in ukraine. Do you think nunes deceived the American People with this kind of rhetoric, knowing his own possible involvement here . I dont want to comment on the specifics of that. I think that there are different bodies in the house that can investigate that particular issue. But it raises troubling questions for sure as you point out, don. Yeah. There are questions that congressman nunes needs to answer about exactly what his involvement was. What is the vehicle now to get those answers from him, congressman . Well, as you know, in the house we do have an ethics body. If a complaint were filed with that ethics body about his conduct, specifically what you referred to just in your previous passage along with potentially using taxpayer dollars to go to europe to pursue dirt on biden and meet with these different characters, that would be yet another potential violation. That would be one avenue to potentially surface facts related to this matter. Okay. So you said the ethics committee. Would he face consequences . Oh, sure. If theres a if theres a finding of a violation of house rules or ethics guidelines. All right. Congressman raja krishnamoorthi, thank you for your time. I appreciate it sir. I know youre very busy. Thanks, don. The president s republican allies cloozing to ignore the facts in the impeachment inquiry. Were any members of the gop break ranks as the process moves forward . Former Ohio Governor i almost called him a congressman. Former Ohio Governor john kasich weighs in. Hes next. man and woman [burst of talking to animals] vo it feels good to give back. attendant thank you so much. woman oh, you are so welcome. vo you can choose the aspca to get two hundred and fifty dollars from subaru when you get a new subaru, like the all new outback. vo 2 get 0. 9 during the subaru share the love event.

The ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. Here, it all starts withello hi . How can i help . A data plan for everyone. Everyone . Everyone.

So come ask, shop, discover at your local xfinity store today. The first phase of the impeachment inquiry is done. We have the report and the facts are out in the open for all americans to read. But theres one group that doesnt seem to be interested in the facts and the evidence at all. Thats the president s republican allies in congress. So joining me now to discuss is john kasich. Hes the former governor of ohio. Good to see you. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you, don. Weve talked about this on this program. Youve changed your opinion about impeachment as time has gone on here. Now weve got the report. Where do you stand tonight, john . Well, i havent changed my mind. I dont know what the articles are going to look like, but i havent changed my mind, don. I think that this is not only important as it affects the current president , but it also affects the future president s and the precedent that it sends if a president can do the things that hes done, withholding military aid to a vital ally whos really under great stress in order for there to be investigation of his political opponents. I think thats just flatout wrong. So i havent changed my mind, but it appears as though, don, after thanksgiving, as we all sat around the table or whatever, the public the republican public hasnt changed their position. The democratic public hasnt changed their position. And therefore the people that represent them have not you know, they havent changed their position. Thats where we are, you know. Its party and public are aligned both for republicans and democrats. And the republicans have put out a narrative that i think is false, but theyre willing to accept it, and they kind of like it. I mean its very frustrating and go ahead, don. I dont want to keep rambling on here. In that vein, along the lines of what youre saying, we saw the house Vote Along Party Lines to adopt the report. No republicans breaking rank. Right. Anthony scaramucci tweeted this. He said, is a job in Congress Really that valuable where a person would ignore the truth . What do you think . You just said theyre putting out a narrative thats not right. Is scaramucci right . Is this where we are right now . Well, i think that the hearings didnt move anybody, and people are just not taking that seriously. But lets move it forward, though. Not to cut you off because we have a delay. Lets move it forward. The hearings i get what youre saying. But when you look at the report, when you look at the findings, when you look at the top line, what adam schiff said about the report today, when you dig deep, do you think theres a possibility that people may change, that it may move something . It may move people along . Right now, right now, you know, tomorrow is always another day. But right now i think theyre pretty well locked down. What do i think is going to happen . I think there will be impeachment that will move through the house. It will go over to the senate. It will be along partyline votes, and then i think, don, were going to actually be in a place where a lot of people who have watched this you know, people say, i dont like this behavior, i think it was wrong, but why dont we let the next election determine everything . I think this is going to be finished, and then i think all eyes are going to be on whats going to happen in november, whats going to happen in the senate in terms of whos going to be electsed, who controls the senate, what happens in the house and of course the presidency. I think in the end, the American People are going to deliver the verdict. It isnt going to be through impeachment that trumps going to be removed. I dont believe thats going to happen. I think it will be an election, and i think it will be an interesting election. And for the republicans who have really lost in, you know, virginia. Theyve lost a governors race in kentucky. They did not win the governors race in louisiana, in your home state. What republicans have to worry about is not just whats happening with impeachment but who are their customers. They dont seem to have young people. They dont have collegeeducated men or women. They dont have many minorities. They have a shrinking group of customers, and that is alarming if youre a republican. And im a republican, and i dont think it should be this way. Yeah. So lets move on, and i want to talk about nato because one person who wasnt afraid to stand up to President Trump today was french president Emmanuel Macron at the nato summit in london. I want you to watch this. And would you like some nice isis fighters . I could give them to you. You can take everyone you want. Lets be serious. A very large number of fighters you have on the ground, the fighters coming from syria, from iraq. I think number one priority because its not yet finished is to get rid of isis. This is why hes a great politician because that was one of the greatest nonanswers ive ever heard. I think its a good thing to get along with russia, and i campaigned on it. I mean id go into big stadiums. People like it. Translator it is important to have a Strategic Dialogue with russia. We must do so without naivety. That was embarrassing. I mean trump isnt used to people challenging him like that. Hes joking about isis and then macron says, we need to be serious about that. Hes not used to that, is he . Well, whats happening, don, is you know, early on these foreign leaders walked on eggshells around donald trump, didnt know what he was going to do. Macrons kind of stood up to him from the beginning. I think these leaders throughout nato, our allies are beginning to say, you know, were not going to take this anymore. Were going to speak out. Were going to stand up for the things that we believe in. That could represent a withering, an unraveling of that thats kept the peace in the world for such a long period of time. It is very concerning to me the kind of relationships we have with the brits and the french and the germ the whole group of nato. And theyre getting tired of this. So, you know, macron is not somebody that you really want to trifle with. Hes obviously a very good politician, and hes very tough. And i think hes not in that kind of a joking mood. Well, let me ask you this. Why cant leaders in the Republican Party take on trump the way we saw macron do it . Because theyre aligned with him, and the public that supports them is aligned with him also. Its that simple. Right now there is no difference between the Republican Party and the public that represents the districts that the republicans have. The interesting thing to watch will be what happens in the senate, where the senate population is more mixed. Its more balanced. Then its going to impose its going to create for some of these republican senators some real anxiety. What theyre going to do about it, i dont know. But what i do know is we watch this but we have to keep our eye on november. And i think republicans are going to be nervous because of the problems they have in the suburbs, and its going to be very interesting to watch. And thats what well be watching as soon as impeachment is finished. You and i will be talking every night about whats going to happen in the november election and who is going to get to the polls and who are the democrats going to nominate. Thats what we have to keep our eye on. Thats the biggest picture, not that this isnt critical. It is critical. But much of this will be resolved in november. The john kasich from the ohio state. Thank you. Its always great to be with don lemon, you lemon. Youre not changing the spelling because youre from louisiana, are you . Youre talking about burrow and lsu and ohio. I hope we get to play each other and we just clobber you. Thats going to be what a bet were going to make. Unbelievable. As we say, tiger bait. Thank you, john. Well see you. Thank you. So what happens when cnns resident fact checker takes a few days off . Spoiler alert. The lies dont stop. Well get you caught up. Lets be honest, every Insurance Company says they can save you these. In fact, if you had a dollar for every time they said it, youd have a lot of dollars. Which makes it hard to believe, especially coming from a talking lizard. Pip, pip, cheerio look, all i, dennis quaid, know is that esurance is built to save you dollars without skimping on service. And when they save, you save. The only way to know how much is to get a quote. Chances are youll save time, paperwork, and yes, dollars. When insurance is affordable, its surprisingly painless. If you look away for a bit you could miss something incredible. Our fact checker extraordinary took a little time off over thanksgiving. But daniel dale is back and hes got some catching up to do. I can imagine all the work you had to do. I hope you had a good thanksgiving, welcome. This rally moment had you scratching your head. Here it is. Some people want to change the name thanksgiving. They dont want to use the term thanksgiving. And that was true also with christmas. But now everybody is using christmas again. Remember i said that . Now well have to do work on thanksgiving. People have different ideas why it shouldnt be called thanksgiving. But everybody in this room i know loves the name thanksgiving. And were not changing it. Whatever. I dont know what hes talking about. The war on christmas was so last year . I dont know. You go away for a few days and get an imaginary war. This was hard to fact check. He says some people.
