Talking about the constitution. they have been acting like they are constitutional scholars, but the keywords in the provision is that the house has the sole duty to impeach and the senate has the sole responsibility to try the president. the key word is "sole." i dont know if i was sick in law school, but im pretty sure the house has nothing to do the trial in the senate which impeachment is to the senate. its a 2-step process, two separate silos. let nancy pelosi hold the articles of impeachme...

Republicans dont believe a darn thing democrats say and well survive that tribalism tonight and survive it when hes acquitted in the senate. what happens when we wake up and theres an emergency or a crisis and these two american political silos which dont interact anymore except to clash would be expected to combine and tell us the truth and say, were going to preserve the country in this way? to me, knowing how this historic moment is going to turn out gives me some comfort but what gives me no...

Hill in the republican party, they kind of say theres nothing wrong here. okay. maybe theyre not going to go for impeachment. maybe theyre not going to go for censure, but just to ignore reality seems to be awfully crazy. so i brought you another little chart. >> oh, my god. >> which i guess our viewers like, okay? so its back to another triangle. i want to just -- >> we have it up on the screen. weve got it up on the full screen. go for it. >> well, you didnt ruin my artwork. >> no. we have you...

>> they care -- no, but they care a lot because theyre afraid at the end of the day if they get hammered over there, they might lose. now, if you take the guy up in new jersey who said hes going to switch parties, he said hes going to switch parties because everybody was yelling at him and he realizes -- >> hes going to switch parties because he cant win as a democrat. hes not switching parties because of impeachment. hes switching parties because he wants a job. thats why hes switching parties....

Now, if you take the guy up in new jersey who said hes going to switch parties, he said hes going to switch parties because everybody was yelling at him and he realizes -- >> hes going to switch parties because he cant win as a democrat. hes not switching parties because of impeachment. hes switching parties because he wants a job. thats why hes switching parties. >> well, that gets down to careerism. that gets down to the fact that some people want job security at the risk of all other things. ...

Weve got it up on the full screen. go for it. >> well, you didnt ruin my artwork. >> no. we have yours. >> okay. they live in a silo, right? >> yeah. >> we have people that live in a silo. they only absorb that that they agree with. >> okay. >> and then their views are reinforced by social media and reinforcing media. so they only get information that reinforces their view. >> right. >> they never find the truth because the truth is not a matter of opinion. the truth is a fact. and so when you w...

From two separate silos and being stuck in those silos or bubbles, as jill points out. but i would say that even though there was an agreed upon set of facts during nixon, you also had alexander butterfield. you had john dean coming in front of the public, who was the white house counsel saying certain things that resonated with the public. and i submit that if you had mick mulvaney, white house chief of staff trying to explain why they held up that military aid to the ukraine and they have john...

Something on cnn that is fact-based, and theyll say, oh, theyre not telling the truth. >> yes, thats right. >> they see the president going fake news, fake news, and cnn can tell them all day long something that is fact-based, and theyre never, ever going to believe it because theyre listening to opinion hosts all day long. >> don, i have traveled all over this country, and i beg people to get out of their silos. absorb something that somebody else says and consider it. you may not have to agree...

The fbi made mistakes. good, admit it. tell the truth. find out what the evidence is. remember thats what we said from the beginning. get the evidence and then decide. but if you want to ignore the evidence because it doesnt feed your narrative, then youre not in search of the truth. the truth will set us free. im worried about this. >> but i also think that -- i think probably the biggest issue or one of the biggest issues is that people have to become -- and im not sure how we educate people t...

Remarkable. so when we look at this situation, weve got to think about the long-term implications for our country, and for people who are watching. thats why we have to get out of our silos. we have to listen to other people. but at the end of the day, there is truth. and we cant agree on basic facts, you tell me where this country is going for our children. where is it going to go if we cant even agree on basic things? its amazing to me. >> well, that is true. listen, i have to say that we saw ...
