Around the whip count that were not expecting this to be something that drags on late into the day. democrats are hoping they can keep everybody on board for this. it will be a party-line vote. this is a process vote. youre not really making a moral argument about the value of impeachment here or not, what youre doing is setting up a roadmap, setting up essentially a calendar with no dates on it n for how the impeachment inquiry will continue. you played the mitch mcconnell clip. what this resol...

Table for open hearings, moving this process into the sunlight, which ive heard even from a lot of democrats, saying it is past time to do that, ali. >> you, yesterday, talked about nancy pelosi, when you said, is the vote really going to happen? you said, its not going to happen if she doesnt have the votes, because nancy pelosi is a master vote counter. talk to me about her strategy. >> and it looks like she had some significant margin for error today. we knew going into todays vote, there wer...

Garrett, what are we going to see next. >> were going to continue to see this debate play out over the next hour or so and could see extended remarks from speaker pelosi and house minority leader kevin mccarthy as we refer to as magic minutes one minute of time afforded to the leaders that can stretch on as long as they see fit and then i expect to see a largely party-line vote this morning. democrats have managed to bring some wayward democrats who had not yet supported the impeachment effort b...

Definitely a part line vote on this, save a couple people on both sides. but its totally different messaging here. democrats are super eag yer to get in here to make this a formal inquiry to get rid of any kind of criticism that republicans and president trump himself have been trying to throw at them. and then republicans are saying that this is a proxy vote for impeachment. as much as democrats are saying this is more of a process vote. and trying to lay out the steps of a formal impeachment p...

There when they team up with russia and now theres russian soldiers where ours used to be. >> heres the thing. the whole purpose of nato was to stop the russian aggression. that was the allies of nato. turkey is an ally, nato ally. that should have been their mission too. theyre not doing that. theyre doing the opposite. they have to make that decision. erdogan under this leadership, seems like they want their cake and eat it too. i dont know if the regime changes. all regimes change after a whi...

Schumer is talking about, house democrats, garrett, are looking to take this vote to, as we heard from congressman connolly earlier in the show, formalize the rules of this impeachment inquiry. how do you think its going to go down? who is going to hold out? >> there will be this whip process that will start today but i suspect well see a pretty down the line partisan vote here. d democrats are casting this as purely a process vote, trying to take some of the heat off this pitch if you will say ...

Couple points of each other. some show more people in favor of impeachment and some show fewer. but the bottom line is people are dug in and messaging becomes very, very important. the republicans are saying this has been a closed, soviet-style process run by people who have been determined to take donald trump out of office since the day he was elected. how will you respond? >> so first of all, this is not a soviet style. they are trying to distract from what were trying to do, to get the facts...

Back? maybe. >> and thats something we dont fully know. i will say this, thats why i dont think, the democrats are falling into this process trap every day they get testimony thats just overwhelming on the substance and yet they cant figure out how to down into indicate this. >> one must say that this is a success, this is a win for republicans who dragged them into the process trap. >> got them into this vote. >> for really they sort of again they stuck by -- gerry connolly, i dont know where w...

Im not the swng vote, eknow where this is going, its a process vote. and i can either die on my sword -- i believe he said to ben sass, you are the vote thats going to decide do we have -- were asking people to be heroic. 99.9% of americans and/or going to protect your yap -- lets understand it once and for all. >> i can understand but i can also see if youre so desperate to hang on to a political office that youre going to go against what the constitution clearly says, then we ought to call it ...

Lecturing us to this extent is unacceptable unacceptable. >> we sometimes forget that senators are human beings. these people, this is their livelihood, they make a couple hundred grand a year, its a process vote. and i know everybody wants to think of themselves as heros, but at the end of the day, your job, your livelihood, your familys well being is on the line and if i need to make a vote at the end of the day, this is not a vote on obamacare, its a process vote, of course theyre going to vo...
