Office while 48 think he should not be, lets bring in wall street journal karl rove, he served as Senior Adviser to president george w. Bush. Karl, welcome, and the polling numbers seem fixed even though not moving, even though impeachment now seems inevitable, how do you read the Public Opinion on this . Well, you put it right, its closely divided and unchanging before shenanigans began, if you wanted the president impeached, you till want him impeached. If you dont want him to impeach, you are stuck in place. Small group of people who are capable of switching opinions with regard to the president , whether or not they end up in his camp or the democratic president ial candidates camp in november depends less on what happens in front of the Judiciary Committee and what happens in the senate trial. I think it depends more on whom the democrats nominate for president and whether or not donald trump can disqualify them or whether that individual can somehow say i can unit the country. Paul you know, i talked to a house democrat, ranking house democrat, Committee Chair who said, you know, we will vote to impeach him on Party Line Vote in december, the republicans senators will acquit him in january and its not going to matter one bit when it comes to the vote in november, do you agree with that . Well, i think that he depicted whats likely to happen, i bet there are more democrats in the house who vote to keep the president , vote against impeachment than republicans who vote for impeachment and the same in the senate, i dont think its necessarily not going to have an effect in november, its already had an effect, it has already sort of cloud what had the democratic message is. The ordinary americans think the Democratic House of representatives has done nothing constructive for the country and now we will see this flow over into the senate and second will have all, i think it has caused a lot of people to say, im sick and tired of politics altogether and whether those people tend to be slightly more democrat or slightly republican, i dont know, my gut tells me that theyll be some democrats at the attorneyed process say, expectations. High, we thought youd go ahead that guy out of office, you didnt get it done, youre not capable of getting it done and some of them sitting as we saw in 2016, if you sit on your hands in places like detroit, michigan, walk, wisconsin, philadelphia, pennsylvania it could be helpful to the president and hurtful to democrats. Paul lets move to democratic nominee Mike Bloomberg entering the race with unusual strategy, skip four contests and throw everything into super tuesday, campaign and advertise in the interim, but the first race will be in march third, now, as i read history no other no other candidate who has pursued the strategy has succeeded, can Mike Bloomberg . Well, hes got 51 to 54 billion so maybe maybe he can make a difference but youre absolutely right, what is it about mayors of new york city that if they run for president they decide they dont have to enter the early contest and show up on super tuesday, Rudy Giuliani did that, history is replete with people that got in the contest somehow late and change the rules, maybe all the money, maybe bright brain of kevin and the counseling of wilson somehow end up helping Mike Bloomberg in a different place, i doubt it very seriously. Paul i think the thinking is, look, youve got howard if joe biden collapses. Paul you have Pete Buttigieg, you have Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, both too far left, Pete Buttigieg too inexperience and then its a fumble and then maybe he can pick up the pieces. Maybe, i always thought and i say this with great deal of respect for Mike Bloomberg, i work closely with him in 2004 Republican National convention and delivered on everything he said he would do, i have some respect for him hudson river and begins to pick up when you approach berkeley california, the middle of the country, super tuesday has states, you aint going to do that well in texas, he aint going to do that well in florida in my opinion. He wont do well in alabama and arkansas. Paul let me push back at you, if more than 50 were democratic electorate said number one concern is beating donald trump and finding a candidate can do that and if joe biden has collapsed Mike Bloomberg looks at least as i see head to head contest looks pretty good compared to bernie or elizabeth and even mayor pete. People have a tendency to believe that their candidate has a good chance of beating the incumbent whether they really do or not, who sings to my heart, right now joe biden much bigger name id than everybody else, hes a beloved figure in certain parts of the Democratic Party, so, of course, people say i think hes got a better chance. If he doesnt, i think there are 3 or 4 other candidates who are more likely to become the candidate who can beat donald trump and the minds of ordinary democrats. Remember this of Mike Bloomberg, very high name id and highest percentage of democrats who say im never going to vote for the guy in partys nomination, 30port odd percent who say im not voting the for the guy, thats a sign of uphill climb for certain. Paul fun to watch, thanks a lot, karl. When we come back as former new york mayor bloomberg announces race, attacks against him by fellow 2020 contenders.

Michael bloomberg is making a bet about democracy in 2020. He doesnt need people, he only needs bags and bags of money. Paul billionaire Michael Bloomberg already fending off attacks as he launches 2020 president ial run, former city mayor kicking off campaign with 30 milliondollar ad blitz arguing hes the one to beat President Trump. I think that theres a greater risk of having donald trump reelected than it was before and in the end i looked in the mirror and said, i cannot let this happen. Im now in the race, im fully committed to defeating donald trump, i think hes an existential threat to our country, im going make my case and let the voters who are plenty smart make their choice. Paul lets bring in wall street journal columnist dan henninger, Columnist Bill mcgurn and columnist in manhattan senior fellow jason riley, jason, you see Michael Bloomberg getting into the race and what are his chances and are you happy to see him in the race . Paul, the entire premise of the bloomberg candidacy is joe biden faltering and so far that hasnt happened, joe biden has led the race from day one and in recent weeks his lead has increased, so thats bloombergs initial problem. His whole candidacy depending on someone else faltering and that hasnt happened yet. Paul are you happy to see him in the race . Do you think hes going add something . I dont see what he adds, who is clambering Michael Bloomberg to enter the race other than democratic donor who is have gone skittish. Mike bloomberg, you to run . Paul how about somebody to defend business, to defend economic growth, how about that . He can add that to the race, i think thats a value. If he adds that to the race. Paul okay. This is a big question, theres the break inside the Democratic Party, right, the far left which thought they took over now represented by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and on the other hand, joe biden and maybe Pete Buttigieg, move to the center, and the question is will these centrist candidates, moderate candidates like biden, Pete Buttigieg and maybe bloomberg accommodate the lefts views which basically are in complete they do not like the private sector, they dont like corporations. Paul id rather have a democratic nominee that believes he has to be willing to say it and we will find out whether Mike Bloomberg will stand up to the left. Paul so you he went back on that. Paul i want to talk about that. You heard bernie and Elizabeth Warren, billionaire, billionaire, billionaire. If i were bloomberg i would say this, dont apologize for being rich, turn into an advantage, and ii cant be bought 4 years ago like did. Absolutely, you asked if im happy, im very happy, i dont think he has a prayer. [laughter] if you look at it, it is a living reputation of all the propaganda about Citizens United that money will determine everything, there are 2 billionaires in the democratic race. They havent reached 6 combined in the vote and i dont think they will get much higher. I want to qualify that, mike just got into the race, he has all the money in the world and he can spend it on political advertising which is a powerful medium, we are going to find out just how powerful political advertising is because hes going to do saturate those super tuesday states with advertising. He has all the money in the world, dan, youre right, what he doesnt is very much black support and in the Democratic Party next to impossible without large majorities of black voters and hes got a problem there. Hes got a good record to return on as mayor, i would argue, both in terms of expanding school choice, Charter Schools and reducing crime, the problem is that the progressives and the Democratic Party today think the problem is the police, not the criminals and oppose chatter schools. Paul you have written maybe, i dont know, 100 columns about how the anticrime agenda of people like Mike Bloomberg has really helped minority voters, minorities among in particular. Hes got the record and the way its helped because the victims of crime, paul, tend to be lowincome minorities to the extent that you reduce crime, you reduce their victimization. Paul why doesnt he run on that . The progressives on the party think policing is the major problem in inner cities and not the criminals. Hes got to face that in terms of just other people in the race, progressives have taken over. If he did win the nomination, would he beat trump . I dont think so but i think he could hold his own in a fight. Just to jasons point, one of the problems he has is unlike tom steyer he has highname recognition, 2 of vote has, not because people dont know who he is, people do know who he is. Hes more likely to be the Chris Christie of the race where he can use his money to take someone else the way governor christy took out senator rubio in the debate. Just to finish up, do you think he can beat President Trump . I think he can give him a run for his money, literally. [laughter] the big question whether the left would vote for Mike Bloomberg or state home and default the election. Paul i think they want to beat trump enough they will come out, federal judge rules against President Trumps claim of salute immunity for white house advisers, what it could mean as the democratic impeachment inquiry moves ahead vo the moth without hope, struggles in the spiders web.

Federal judge ruling this week that President Trumps advisers do not enjoy absolute immunity from testifying in congressional inquiries with u. S. District court judge Brown Jackson writing in her opinion, quote, the primary take away from the past 250 years of recorded American History is that president s are not kings, jacksons decision comes as part of a lawsuit brought by the house Judiciary Committee to enforce a subpoena against former White House Counsel Don Mcgahn but could it have broader implications as the democratic impeach mint impeachment inquiry continues, we are with dan henninger, allysia finley, does it change view in whole impeachment context . Well, i think democrats are going to be appealed, right now doesnt set a precedent. Its based on overturns opinions dating back to 1971. Paul justice department. Office Legal Counsel opinions, bipartisan, both administrations, jimmy carter, bill clint clinton, bush, Court Opinion in dc during the george w. Bushs administration that was eventually settled, so there really wasnt any dc circuit to underlay this decision. Paul bill, i think it goes to the Supreme Court. Makes them kind of extraordinary claims and absolutist claim and you would think the Supreme Court will not defer on this. Paul basically says any Time Congress subpoenas a close adviser to the president chief of staff or somebody intimately they have to go up there. They have to go up there. Enormous change in this, i think the people court will. The interesting thing, democrats want this but we dont really want this, we will move full steam ahead no matter what, democrats are saying, we will leave it to the senate trial and we will hope that roberts compels mcgahn, the majority of senators can overrule roberts, all the wild cards tucked in because of artificial deadline to get this done before christmas. Paul we already know from Robert Mueller report what mcgahn probably knows, lets move time peachment move to the impeachment next week. No doubt in my mind at all. I think there are democrats like nancy pelosi and professional democrats including the president ial candidates who wonder whether this was a good idea. Like a ballistic missile. Fired it off and it will hit donald trump with the impeachment. [laughter] a lot of democrats are counting heads now and are wondering how many House Democrats will vote against this impeachment because the case hasnt been made and theyre going to be running in districts that were formerly held by republicans and some are beginning to suggest that maybe this was a bad idea which means they are just not going to get the votes t
