Crime, i dont think youre going to get a lot of yeses, okay? youre going to get concern. youre going to get severe criticism. you may even get some condemnation, but thats not what were talking about here. and i think that the democrats have to be careful that theyre not rushing towards this, particularly because they have people inside of their party who say, you have to do this, you have power, you have authority, you must do this. again, i have to tell you, alisyn, that nobodys fought harder ...

Realtime. so now that youve had 24 hours to let it sink in, what are your thoughts on the whistle-blowers complaint and the presidents transcript of that call? >> its all very -- its -- its a terrible situation in terms of that transcript, alisyn, but the question is, does one phone call, at this point in time, lead to impeachment? mitch mcconnell says its laughable. he is the senate leader. you know, we have the gentlemen you just quoted from ohio, mike turner says, you know, its not okay. i th...

Asked him to do something that was totally completely inappropriate. excuse me, alisyn. totally and completely inappropriate, to say, we need more information. im surprised at lamar. i love lamar. a great guy, former governor, senator, all of this, to say, well -- youve got to have a comment on this. this is not right. if you whistle past the graveyard on here, you also set a precedent by ignoring something that is extremely serious. i have had one person close to me say, look, he asked somebody...

>> it made me sick. >> how did it make you sick. >> you dont expect presidents to do that and it was completely inappropriate and frankly it borders on -- it doesnt border, it was an outrageous thing, he should have never done that. but, come on, alisyn, what are we surprised by. the president does things but this is inappropriate for a president to do. >> so why havent we heard from more of your republican colleagues? >> well, i think the vote in the senate, by the way, that unanimous that all ...

Impeachment is about cleansing the office. >> and thats your reality check. >> thats a good one, john. that is a good one. i mean, going back to the tape archives that people seem to have forgotten that we have. >> was that judy bloom? >>s can scholar judy bloom reminded us, that was then, this is now. >> are you there, god? its alisyn. >> that one too. >> thank you very much, john. all right. coming up, an eye opening look at something we dont talk a lot about on morning television. >> but we...

Concerns for democrats who, as again, announce they are moving federal with an impeachment inquiry this week. just a turn of significant events and you could expect that today could be another turning point for democrats. john and alisyn. >> it sounds like a turning point. thank you, lauren. lets bring in democratic senator chris coons serving on the judiciary and foreign relations committee and a supporter of the joe biden 2020 campaign. can you hear me. >> i can. good to be with you, alisyn....

Newspaper article or saw one transcript and therefore throw the guy out of office. i think it is a long process and there has to be more in my opinion. >> youre just not there yet? but let me ask you -- >> im not there yet because we havent gotten far yet because other than headlines like the transcript that we read which is really upsetting. look, im not going to support trump. i didnt support him last time and im not going to support him again. i dont think hes conducting himself in this offic...

Not involved, then i would like to see him recuse himself from any further investigation into exactly how this was handled in the white house. what i think well hear later today, alisyn, or what the intelligence committees may well hear today is what the whistle-blower was concerned about was both the content of this call, and the way it was handled within the white house. ways in which white house staff acted to try and manage the record of this call and to prevent it from becoming public. that...

He talked for 30 or 40 minutes but only took two questions that pertained to the ukraine matter. he was asking for questions on economy and the markets. he clearly didnt want to talk about all of this. at one point, the most striking thing about it. he goes, impeachment for this? this is a president who got on a phone with a foreign leader and was seeking help in an election. now it seems if you look at whats in "the washington post" that other officials in the administration, it sounds like som...

The white house released this summary of that call. it seemed clear to me that president trump said to president trump zelensky im asking you favor and then specifically raised if the ukraine would assist with an investigation into president trumps leading opponent for the presidential candidate next year. this is striking, alisyn, that we have the president of the united states on an open call with the president of the ukraine, a country that has faced five years of withering attacks from russi...
