Chairman of the senate judiciary committee. as the professor mentioned, there is an oath these men have to take, and women in the senate. and its to be impartial and go justice. that isnt a high standard, that is to not prejudge until you hear the evidence. this is exactly the opposite of what is happening here theyre prejudging and theyre going to say this president is not going to be impeached or hes not going to be found guilty and be removed. i think theres a lot of leverage in the house wit...

Whats the impact there? >> to be clear trump has already drawn down 2,000 troops in afghanistan this year. the report is there would be a further cut. the negotiations with the taliban, our troops are leverage in these negotiations because the taliban is trying to get us to leave. if we announce withdrawal without concessions from the taliban were diminishing our posture. and of course theres a significant security impact. our forces train afghan security and conduct missions. it is clear even w...

I think that we need to be there in the room with them, providing them with the support, the leverage, and the coverage that they need to lead the way, to lead the path forward. and i also see so much inspiration and hope from the innovations and the solutions that ive seen. i was just in silicon valley and saw firsthand how innovations in agriculture and supply chains and big data analytics are already starting to transform the way that we respond to climate, the way that we direct our financia...

President did nothing wrong. the entire impeachment process is a shame and that they will treat it that way. chuck schumer is hutting tputti shoe on the other foot. the smartest thing they can do is say were going to get more, and were talking about it this morning, it is really very important, if the senate will not do their constitutional duty, it is not going to do that and i dont think the house can this v confidence standing over impeachment to the senate. >> how much leverage do they have....

Same case here. it may look very differently than congressional proceedings or a typical trial. >> rick, chuck schumer as we were just talking about there, he was on "morning joe," explaining the position that he laid out in that aforementioned letter to senator mcconnell. this is part of what senator schumer said. >> theres not a single reason that has been given why the four witnesses weve asked for, while the documents weve asked for should not be presented. i dont know what theyll say. maybe...

The taliban talks because everyone agrees that there is no real military solution in afghanistan, that its going to require some sort of peace negotiation. >> and do we know that the taliban is going to respond to this? as you said, the talks fell apart in september, the president could say were going to bring some troops home. does that mean they have to do anything? >> thats a great question because one of the things that some critics of this idea of withdrawing troops before you have a peace ...

Nothing to do with what the president is accused of doing or his chief political rival, which remains joe biden. so, you know, well have a quick -- well end up with a quick trial. but to your question, i think they do -- schumer does have leverage, and heres where he has leverage. half the country, and 50% of the country, wants this president to be impeached, and some portion of them, a majority, a large majority of those 50% want him not only impeached, but removed from office. that puts tremen...

Down would be part of the leverage he could use. he would say well withdraw troops but you need to agree to a cease-fire. but whats surprising to us is that theyve sort of taken a slightly different tact in that theyre going to say, look, as a show of good faith we will announce our draw down and you need to announce a cease-fire. the question is, is that actually what the tal been will agree to do? >> so let me bripg you ng you i that question. whats the impact of drawing down about a third of ...

Speaking time would be projected to rise by 50%, so it should be a really exciting night. >> if he doesnt get elected president, he can be secretary of math. its interesting. i assume its great leverage for the union to try to resolve this labor dispute. what about senator bookers complaints? the other candidates signed on. some of them privately like the smaller stage because they think it benefits them to have more time. >> privately, some other campaign operatives told politico that they real...

We really had to take our time and look at this. >> a short answer. sorry for that. china might be rating -- does that maybe slip leverage does the president lose leverage because of that. >> every time they dont come to some kind of federal agreement. there watching the products go to other country. and that manufacturing is unlikely to come back they really do need to stop the bleeding. dominic think you for joining us. eric: government protests are continuing in the parliament of the lebanese...
