We want to show you what some of your colleagues said after that testimony. here was kevin mccarthy and devon nunes on fox news last week. >> we had john ratcliffe destroy taylors whole argument. >> congressman ratcliffe tell us what happened. >> we cant really talk about it but what were fighting is just his question in 90 seconds refuted everything of what adam schiff puts out there. theres no quid pro quo. maria: congressman we know that youre limited in terms of what you can say about these ...

House, well, guess what, she leads a different branch of government, legislative branch, they make the laws and dont execute the laws, did franklin roosevelt talk to congressional leaders before raid on tokyo, no, the reason we talked to the russians was because their military forces in the area, it would make sense operationally, this goes to this intense politicization of everything that we see in washington today and the president is under no obligation to brief congressional leaders in advan...

They are committed. i will kill you if i dont kill you my children will kill you. its a generational approach, and they are sick individuals but they are committed to their sick ideology and thats why it takes a persistent, dedicated approach like the one the trump adminitration has taken. yesterday was a very good day to make the world safer, but as the president made very clear, this is just something that has to continue and we cant allow it to proliferate in other places we have to continue ...

You have to change poll numbers hopefully at least really galvanize this and make it a partisan fight. so if you go back to even the clinton impeachment as the house dems were kind of strategizing makes its way through the judiciary committee, then democratic representative chuck schumer got his folks together with john conor and others and said we need to make everything a fight. we need to fight every motion, every subpoena. if we go and try and make this bipartisan, it legitimizes it and we n...

At the same time, though, it does raise questions about why he didnt know and what suspicions he had or why he didnt ask more questions about this. was this something that was so normal during his time there that it just seemed commonplace because that would be odd. but at the same time i dont really hear from any of the lawmakers who were -- who know about the testimony or were in these closed door remarks that this moved the needle very much. >> okay. but according to the "washington post" rep...

Sentiment out there. so they have a lot of work to do to bring the american people along, but i think that they should be pretty happy with these results and confident in where they are at at this stage. >> and maybe the sentiment will change once the testimonies become public which the democrats have said will happen in mid november. joyce, daniel, thank you both. a massive manhunt is under way right now in north texas for the gunman who opened fire at a college party killing two and injuring...

This point in the investigation? >> fred, i think what is important is distinguishing the whistle-blower, the human being, from the whistle-blower, the content of the allegations. its the latter that matters most. who said it is far less important than what was said. the irony here of course is that when the whistle-blower first came forward, the whistle-blower was attacked as having only secondhand knowledge and therefore of no utility. now theyve put forth all the witnesses with firsthand know...

Military aid to be released. we also learned that lawyers for the whistle-blower will not be testifying. and that is something the president is jumping on to call this impeachment a hoax and a witch hunt. these attorneys saying, you know, the whistle-blowers testimony and identity to be revealed really is unnecessary because there have been so -- there has been such a powerful depositions and testimonies taken already. so is that argument on behalf of the attorneys for the whistle-blower right? ...

Hour six more or less right now hes been behind closed doors? >> yeah. weve just begun our sixth. its a longer day than we anticipated. we were told he would wrap up around 2:00 or 3:00, but sounds like reeker has a lot to say. republicans and democrats keep going back and forth asking him questions. one democratic congressman representative lynch from massachusetts emerged from these closed-door depositions saying reek certify a quote reservoir of information. hes corroborating what a lot of pr...

Tonights lead, direct link. that is the conclusion after another consequential week for president trump in the impeachment probe. following the bombshell testimony of bill taylor, the lead u.s. envoy to ukraine who democrats said made that direct link between donald trump and the withholding of military aid to ukraine for political gain. republicans did what republicans do best in recent weeks, avoid responding directly to his testimony. any testimonies for that matter. and instead of dealing wi...
