Actually at the front line, literally the front line of ukraines battle, hot battle, with russia at the very moment that gordon sondland was on the phone in that restaurant in ukraine with donald trump. when david holmes testifies about hearing donald trumps voice on gordon sondlands telephone, republicans are not going to be able to complain about hearsay. that is not hearsay evidence. that is someone who was there telling you what he heard the president of the united states say and what he hea...

Ukraine with donald trump. when david holmes testifies about hearing donald trumps voice on gordon sondlands telephone, republicans are not going to be able to complain about hearsay. that is not hearsay evidence. that is someone who was there telling you what he heard the president of the united states say and what he heard gordon sondland say. that is going to be another very bad day for the republicans on the intelligence committee. every day was a bad day for the republicans during the close...

Irvin, there was a sense of confidence that skeweded from him. i expect theres a partisan split that i think were going to see a lot of speech making by both sides. i think that turns the public off. >> thats what soez interesting about the format of this hearing. its not going to be what people are used to seeing. in the beginning, adam chef is going down 90 minutes and then the ranking republican is going toe have 90 minutes to question these people. >> if they hold that off and make it a comp...

Brandenburg gate in berlin. matt, so 30 years on, besides the laser show behind you, how are they marking this historical moment? >> reporter: well, the party, of course, kendis. i dont know if you can hear the music, electronic dance music in the background. its berlin. even this solemn occasion sounds a lot like a nightclub. there were speechmaking done throughout the day. just saw a massive fireworks display right over brandenburg gate behind me. the president of germany was here and speaking...

Government service through the clinton global initiative, through the speechmaking, and all that. so her being on the book tour again reminds me of that. and joe biden in many respects is going through the same thing with his son right now. theres an inherent suspicion in the american electorate of public servants who make money off the system. i dont know how many times ive heard these people go to washington and somehow walk out of congress and the white house making millions. thats a very rea...
