Sovereign land albeit syria is a pretty screwed up place. but trying to create this strip of land so that erdogan can now displace refugees in turkey into this strip of land in syria. >> right. its not 23, its not 2,300. you know. >> its 235,000 people. the conditions are not great this time of year. the services arent going to be great. the safetys not going to be great. general spider marks, best for the new year to you. phillip carter welcome to the show. best for the new year. >> thank you, ...

Sentiments in the late 1990s. >> this is not a criminal trial. but this is something that the founding fathers died to put in a body that was suspectable toll whims of politics. it is not like a jury box in the sense that people will call us and lobby us. you dont have jurors called and lobbied. its quite different than a jury. >> senior editor of cnn, andrew kaczynski joins me now. quite a contrast from what we were hearing today. >> i dont know if its a reverse groundhog day or ghosts of impea...

Significant sign that at least theres a possibility of some sort of a combination that would be forced by dissident republicans siding with schumer. >> but you know, as the articles of impeachment are withheld from the senate, does it buy time for the democrats to get what they want? nancy pelosi, you know, wanting to shape the parameters of this senate trial and calling witness, or does it get to a point where theres diminishing returns for democrats? >> no, i think it buys her some time to get...

Mid-january. i dont read all that much into the lack of communication between mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer. those are both professional politicians who when the time is right will come to some sort of an agreement. nancy pelosi is trying to add a little bit of leverage on behalf of schumer so that democrats can try to obtain the right to call some witnesses whose testimony would be further embarrassing to president trump. and you know, president trump initially said, well, you know, i want ...

See the american people get it, and that this cover-up by mcconnell and trump is understood by them, that my republican colleagues are complicit in it, and they will be held accountable in the court of appeals. it wont be a legal court of appeals. it will be the court of public opinion eventually in the election and by history. >> do you anticipate that were going to get some resolution? there was talk, reports today that whatever talks there had been between schumer and mcconnell on setting som...

Do you think schumer is opening up a pandoras box when he talks about call these witnesses? >> no, to your earlier point, its right and appropriate for democrats to call witnesses because you never know what youll find. just think in the last few days we had a revelation in terms of the emails and documents from omb. so the longer this sort of plays out, the more opportunity i think democrats and schumer in particular has to unearth more information that becomes relevant and that may take the fo...
