Inaugurated. in terms of an impartial jury, we are long, long way away. >> julie: as far as nancy pelosi holding the impeachment articles to be sent off to the senate, the delay tactic. there were a lot of delay tactics on behalf of republicans the day they went to vote and now the democrats are doing it. is it going to work? will it bend to mcconnells well? >> it wont. schumer is playing the media game, leaking letters to the media. at the end of the day, mcconnell runs the senate. he knows the...

Concer concerns. well begin today with the latest on the impeachment inquiry. here is whats happening now. the office of management and budget advised the pentagon to holdup aid to ukraine on the same day president trump asked ukrainian president zelensky to do us a favor, investigate the 2016 elections and former vice president joe biden and his son hunter. rudy giuliani is promoting baseless conspiracy theories, debunked storied otherwise known as lies about joe biden. and ambassador yovanovit...

President trumps approval hasnt really changed much. hasnt really changed much for years now. so i think at a certain point you have to step back and say, lets do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may. i do think that its important for the people who are advocating impeachment and removal to not try to respond to political games with their own political games. so if you think that the senators are not going to do their constitutional duty, i think its a little bit too clever to h...

Possibly even six vulnerable republicans in the senate. if the democrats in the house are, like, look, that speaker pelosi, we cant wait, then shes going to have to just hand over the impeachment articles. but i really think the senates going to blink first. i really dont think they want this going that long. you dont want a senate trial to be happening during the democratic primaries. you dont want that narrative going on. >> earlier in the show, we were talking about that email that is now bee...

Welcome back. one of the dramas during last weeks house impeachment vote was swing district members on both sides deciding if they wanted to toe the party in line in the face of a divided electorate back at home. but it turned out with just a couple exceptions, republicans and democrats voted with their respective parties on both impeachment articles. now that we know how these members voted, the question is how these votes will be seen back in their districts in november. joining me now is one ...

Vote. >> i am not going to give any character judgment other than to say it is the constitutional role of the senate. once the impeachment articles are received to hold a trial. trials have witnesses and trials have documents. you can probably surmise this will be a party line vote and with mcconnell already forecasting that the president will be acquitted. there is no way theyll get 20 republican senators to come over when you have not a single republican defection in the house. the bigger poin...

Evidence. we already heard from mcconnell, hes not going to do that. so he should then recuse himself. >> well, let me just ask you because if you listen to what happened today, leader mcconnell, chuck schumer, both spoke out. what we basically saw was both sides digging in. is there going to be a senate trial, congressman? >> i think there will be. >> are you confident there will be a senate trial? >> i think there will be, yes. i think the american people want a senate trial. and i think the a...

Going to share the information because americans need to know what this president has done. so, i feel proud of the fact that i opened the discussion, that i led the discussion, that i tried to get others to join me. it took a while. but guess what? on wednesday, december 18th, around 8:24 in the evening, we impeached the president of the united states, this dishonorable human being who did not deserve to be president in the first place. >> lets talk about where we go from here. as you know very...

Apparently hes already said there will be no witnesses, so. >> but play into that, play into that, because then the democrats play into their strength. we have these, they can say. we have these not paper thin, but very strong impeachment articles. they are akin to indictments. thats where the second argument comes in which is wrong. these are indictments. all right. so if this, then, is akin to a trial, these are indictments, what happens then when you get to an actual trial, you take the indic...

Invaded cry mia. we told president obama in december of 2015 to provide lethal aid, which he never did. ive never been happy with the way any of this has been handled regarding ukraine and were trying to do what we can now to be helpful. >> all right, with me now julian zelzer, tulou is here also. good to see you both. happy holidays. >> good to be here. >> julian, you first. senator roy blunt was not answering the question that was being asked. does that exemplify a struggle that some individua...
