going into this you know, the end of this phase of it and a possible senate trial. democrats themselves are not exactly on the same page, and so that s something that is concerning nancy pelosi beyond anyone else. some democrats want to bring in child separation at the border or the muslim ban. they want to bring in all sorts of things. the kitchen sink strategy. listen, if you are one of the 43 front-line democrats and some of those are the ones weary of impeachment post mueller report what do you mean by front line democrats? these are the democrats that won in districts where trump won in 2018, so essentially 43, people like joe cunningham in south carolina won. so those are the folks that want to keep it their row. those are the folks that didn t want to impeach. listen, nancy pelosi was one of those people. adam schiff was one of those people. they were basically holding back the flood gates of people who were in the democratic caucus who thought that the mueller repor
actually democrats are invited on impeachment in someone to see limited articles but others like the whole kitchen sink strategy. if it comes to a senate trail the white house says bring it on, we will look at their strategy plus three former obama administration officials are endorsing pete buttigieg, otherwise known as not joe biden. brian kilmeade joins us to talk about is really cool book. outnumbered overtime top of the hour. back to you guys. president trump defending his relationship with world leaders following the nato summit in london. despite calling canadian prime minister justin trudeau two-faced after a hot mike got trudeau dissing president trump with other world leaders. he joked about the president being late to meetings earlier in the day. watch this.
