When i took this job and talked to president trump about how to do it, my first recommendation was he not do it. because its not the phone call that parents, family members are looking forward to. its nice to do them in my opinion in any event. >> joining us ned price, spokesperson for the national security council and a former cia analyst. ron klain, former chief of staff to ron biden and senior aid to president obama. and daniel dale, the washington correspondent for the toronto star. your rea...

>> you know, ned, you havent been on much but ill tell you something. i think there are about 25 democrats that would have voted for impeachment on inaugural day. thats okay. theyre on the hard evideleft. they dont like what trump stands for. its political, this process. but the ones who make the difference are the moderates, the thoughtful people, the senior people who have been around a while, when they move it matters. >> i think thats exactly right, chris. and i think youve seen the tide cha...
