Moment, the vice president was concerned with how do we get back in and complete the work we were assigned to do for the day. mccarthy and schumer were saying, how do we get back in tonight? so the world sees that our democracy is functioning properly. >> was the vice president present that day, january 6? >> yes, he was in the capitol. i had a conference with the chief of staff. >> was the president communicating with him at any point in time? >> was he communicating with anyone in that period?...

To texas to primary a decent member of congress, a democrat was possibly going to lose in the primary. and require, whos been really good on the border for his constituents and for americans, national security. i think "the squad" is about to cause a lot more problems for biden, pelosi, and schumer. >> if she calls you speaker pelosi, i need your advice on how to deal with some of those who dont appreciate how much crime is impacting cities and everyday americans, what we do? >> out throw them i...

Democrats. the biden administration has the ability to do that without action from congress. we want to have a united front that were going to be together in terms of pushing back on russia. thats why its unfortunate that they would jump the gun and put out a republican sanctions package instead of a bipartisan one that i know the chairman was negotiating with them to try and reach. i actually dont think in this issue partisanship is going to divide us and prevent us from responding should russi...

Anybody could be president. why do we have to go back to him after hes committed high crimes and misdemeanors against the country? so, well see. schumer: the senate is now ready to vote on the article of impeachment. clerk: mr. mcconnell? mcconnell: not guilty. clerk: mr. mcconnell, not guilty. ♪ reporter: its over. twice tried, twice acquitted. reporter: a majority of senators, including seven republicans, voted to convict former president trump. but it was not enough. leahy: the senate, havi...

Capitol to advise the vice president to directly violate the electoral counteract. . i think some of concerns we expressed, unfortunately the very poor advice that the president was receiving has now become more apparent to more people. >> you said he got bad advice. was he getting advice to break the law? >> i dont know that. john eastman, that e-mail exchange is with john eastman and greg jacob. so at the time, you know, we were in a secure location having been evacuated by the secret service....

Biden should have insisted on a realistic assessment of the situation in ukraine. instead, his team kept open the prospect of nato membership for ukraine, which putin said he was never going to accept. in retrospect, that was likely huge, huge, huge mistake. of course putin didnt attack ukraine under trump because he knew that america was stronger and more practical under his leadership. trump was a pro-energy nationalist who wasnt about to get rolled into supporting russias natural gas pipeline...

Us on this pier they want oil from the iranians. where does that when i go? >> with russias help we might be able to get the iran deal we never wanted. and gary said it perfectly, who knew vladimir putin was exiled because of it? what do you think vladimir putin thinks? this is the country that is helping us out directly or indirectly targeting nuclear power plants in the ukraine well threatening nuclear war on us if we do xyz. now, to go in there and convince iran that we are responsible as the...

Simply on the right side of history on this issue. we heard from president biden yesterday, saying in no way do we want to subsidize putins war machine. they also want to avoid a political box here. the republicans, who support the ban, too, but would blame the administration for, a, being weak on russia if they didnt do it, and, now, show they have, will blame them for rising gas prices. this was still the right decision. pelosi and schumer pushed the white house, and the president and his team...

Going the take steps to deny most favored nation status to russia. most favored nation status designation means two countries have agreed to trade with each other under the best possible terms. low tariffs, few barriers of trade and the highest possible imports allowed. in the united states we call this permanent normal trade relations, its the same thing. revoking pncr for russia will make it harder for them to do business with the united states and doing it in unison with other nations, to mak...
