Plal favor. and if youre inclined to be supportive of the -- raised by jim jordan and some of the other republican lawmakers, then you come away focused on how much aid did obama provide, and what about hunter biden and his mastery of speaking ukraine or some other dialect. there was a lot of confusion thrown up that if people are inclined to accept that, i guess theres something there for them. last thought, alisyn and john. i have been saying consistently on your program i do not believe the u...

Day post-operatively. theres still the need for physical therapy. he may still have weakness on one side of his body as a result of this pressure on the brain. but all signs very favorable. needs some follow-up and well hear about that. but sounds like hes making a great recovery. >> thats really good news. and while we have you, i want to ask you about what sounds like very bad news and that is this new cdc report on deadly drug resistant superbugs. that sounds worrisome. how worried are you? >...

At the white house. what do we expect, joe? >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. well, the main event scheduled here at the white house is a news conference between president trump and turkish president erdogan. some tough questions expected in the first day of the impeachment hearings, but not just about impeachment. this visit by erdogan is controversial in its own right. some up on capitol hill have called for the president to rescind turkish president erdogan. because of the decision to invade...

Down this trail or not, but i think democrats picked the wrong issue here. if theres one area where the president has almost unfettered authority, its in the area of foreign policy. the president can pretty much do whatever he wants to do. theres no constitutional limitation on him. so the idea that the president cant negotiate with a foreign country about a variety of different things and horse trade, the presidents do thaet t every single day. >> its whether you see this as policy or politics....

Because its one thing to attack hillary clinton about benghazi. tear her apart, that is pretty satisfying to attack somebody who lives in the political arena. ambassador taylor and george kent and marie yovanovitch have spent a lifetime not being in the political arena, being diplomats, serving their country, serving republicans and democrats. i think theres a huge risk of jim jordan who is -- again, hes got kind of one speed. take off the coat and start tearing people apart. if he does that to ...

What are they trying to get at? this all begins at 10:00 a.m. >> here we go. the stage is set. top u.s. diplomat in in theyll be testifying simultaneously sitting next to each other at the table. we will start after the opening statements with 45 minutes of questioning each side. i expect it to be substantive and focused. then we go into the five-minute speed round where all the members of the committee will have their five minutes. i expect that to be less focused but more dynamic. >> one of th...

And bill taylor here right in the middle at the witness table. and they will be confronted by the committee that will give those questions. now, its a very different format here. its going to be 45 minutes for schiff. then for the republicans 45 minutes. each one of the committee members will have five minutes to ask their own questions. and this is a very unique format. the democrats believe that this will paint a story, paint a picture very quickly, cohesively to the american people to grab th...
