i am going to the next show. i don't concur says. nick you so much for coming here and speak with me. that is tonight's read out, all in with chrissy starts literally right now. in with chrissy starts tonight on all in -- >> what are they afraid of? i am here, i am ready. >> the president son springs the trap, and republicans show their hand. >> what are you hoping to gain from an impeachment inquiry? >> all i want to see is donald j trump 2024. >> tonight, the impeachment push not even in full in fox news. >> we don't actually have any facts to that point. there is no evidence that joe biden did anything illegal. then why judge chutkan paused trial proceedings in the wake of jack smith's supreme court gambit, and today's big new in the supreme court will take up its biggest abortion case since the dobbs when all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i am chris is, about two hours ago, the republican-controlled house of representatives voted to formally open an impeachment inquiry into president joe biden by a narrow nine vote margin, entirely along party lines. every single republican voter started the impeachment process over, it's not really clear. no one seemed sure what exactly the charges, and to be clear, the bar for productive discourse out at this, historically, on a republican majority, is as low as it gets. this is the same house republican majority that took 15 votes to elect a speaker of the house. they say republican majority to fired that guy after only a few months on the job and at the concert without a speaker, the second one, for the presidency, for three more weeks, the same republican majority constantly at risk of an eternal strike led by extremists and political analysts, a cultish devotion to the man who tried to remove american democracy and is promising to do it again. be in by that standard, this impeachment inquiry is as transparently signal as anything they have done yet. they've been at this for nearly three years. for the moment, president biden was sworn in, they were waiting to impeach him. the facts can come later. here's the thing about many house republicans that is important to understand. they are just as adrift in the conspiracy fever swamp as the most extreme portions of the maga movement that they represent. over the past couple of years, i think a bunch of them convinced themselves that there really was some big smoking gun that would prove that joe biden was guilty of grifting money from foreign governments, which i think is the charge eight again, not clear. joe biden, quite famously, it's about the porous man in all of elected government on the federal level for most of his tenure in washington. that is the guy who they want to believe is not just corrupt but wildly unprecedentedly corrupt in front of everyone's faces while serving as vice president, and no one, no one sniffed it out until now. that's the story. that claim, i think, it's fair to say, is astonishingly difficult to believe, which is why republicans have zeroed in on violence on hunter. that is a man who has publicly struggled with addiction and dysfunction, for most of his adult life. house republicans have hounded the president son under biden to the ends of the earth for years. so, we actually showed up to washington today to make his case for himself. >> i am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committees legitimate questions. republicans do not want an open process where americans can see their tagless, expose their baseless inquiry or hear what i have to say. what are they afraid of? i am here. >> he's right. republicans don't want an open process. that would risk exposing just out tetanically week their case actually is. >> mr. biden said that his father had no involvement in his business dealings, period. how do you respond? >> that's not what kevin hart just said. there were cow phone meetings, you name it, we know what happened. from december 4th to the december 9th timeframe. >> first of all, the day actually said that they had nothing to do with the business, so he's got that wrong. but, get this, like about the clip that we just played, they are still in the ear of our lord, 2023, trying to make burisma a thing. burisma, because he forgotten, which you are forgiven for doing, burisma is the widely debunked conspiracy theory that donald trump said rudy giuliani to dig up and ukraine. that is the one that trump tried to threaten zelenskyy into pushing publicly, even though it was nonsense. the actual high crime that trump was impeached for, for the first time in 2020, that is the source of it. here we are, four years later, including nearly an entire year with a republican house majority investigating these claims, and that is what they got? they got the thrown away rapper of a scandal from 2020? they got nothing. don't take my word for though, ask republican senator chuck grassley of iowa. >> i have no evidence of that, and i will follow the facts where they are, and the facts have not taken me to a point where i can say that the president did anything. >> that is a grassley, not some never trump than. oh chuck rossi as been doubtful about this for years to. if you're so -- even the weatherman on the fox and friends couches not buying it. >> congressman, excellent question for you, have you found -- have you found evidence that anybody broke any loss? you don't actually have a in any facts to that point. there is no evidence that joe biden did anything illegal. i heard you yesterday referred to them as a crime family, and it is organized crime. make it easy for us, what was the crime? >> the crime is that you are creating policy for money. >> which policy? >> we are going to get into. that >> just the way. congressman james comer, chairman of the over second 80, the guy leading the charge against biden, that's the captain, has done such a poor job outlining his case, that he is getting torch by steve doocy of all people. in fact, get this, comer won't even go on fox and friends anymore. he is fighting in his new space on and even more maga network. >> why would doocy say, for all the work that you have done, you had nothing, why do you think that is? >> he's had that position from the very beginning. i quit going on fox and friends because of doocy. >> why would that mean father doocy do you like that? if your case is so thin, that it won't even stand up to the soft scrutiny of fox and friends, i think it might be time to admit that you don't have the goods. but, of course, james comer and the rest of the maga caucus, those folks, know that they don't have it in the back at this point. they understand as well as anyone, how flimsy the cases, but they will do it anyway. for one reason and one reason only, donald trump wants them to do it. >> i rise to oppose the perverse and illegitimate effort to do double trump's dirty work. >> we are here today not because of any wrongdoing by president biden, but because donald trump wants revenge. welcome to the donald trump or french show. >> this has never been about the truth. this is about avenging donald trump. >> the problem is, they have zero evidence. the only crime is that joe biden blew out donald trump in the 2020 election. >> there is a through line to all of this, donald trump will violate the constitution to gain power and to keep it, and republicans will enable him every step of the way. >> you might be saying, that is just a bunch of democrats, we don't believe them. what about maga republican congressman troy nehls of texas. >> representatives, what are you hoping to gain from an impeachment inquiry? >> oh i can see is donald j trump 2024. >> thank you, congressman, there, you have it. >> however, donald trump is facing the most legal peril of any presidential candidate in the nation's history. he's likely to be until at least once in the near, perhaps more times. his sick offense in congress are desperate to counter program with a trial of their own. that is all today's vote was about. congressman jamie raskin of maryland served as a top democrat on the oversight committee. he led the second impeachment of donald trump. he joins me now. today, i suppose today was not a surprise, and yeah, i have to say that i still am a bit shocked. i am, a little bit, that they are going to do it apparently. what is your reaction? >> they got nothing else to do, chris. there is literally no legislative program. they just want to cut off the people of ukraine. they are not interested in humanitarian assistance to ukraine or to people in gaza or to helping people in israel, none of it. they are not interested in any of it it's all about getting that much from back into power. so, i agree with you, i am surprised to, because their investigation is so patently fraudulent and merit-less, but they don't care. the real things to keep it going into the next year into the campaign season. donald trump can say, yeah, i may have 91 federal and state felony charges against me. i may have been impeached twice for the last time for inciting a violent insurrection against my own government and vice president and the constitution, but, look at what is happening at joe biden. they are impeaching him, there will be a child, who knows, maybe it will be in the fall, right before the election. >> again, it is so to me transparently a son, and i say that, honestly, having spent time looking into some of the weeds of this stuff. there have been four impeachments presidents in american history. there would have been a fifth with nixon, had he not resigned. in all of this cases, from andrew johnson to richard nixon to bill clinton to donald trump twice, the conduct at issue was undertaken by the president while he was president. like, that is clearly a core principle here. they are not even pretending. i don't not think that this could be said enough. they are not even pretending that there is a thing there of joe biden's conduct as a president to impeach him over. right, am i missing something? >> the funniest exchange that i have ever seen in congress for saturday and the rules committee, when joe the goose was asking a republican rubberize or, just tell us, what is the crime. he said, that is what the impeachment inquiry is for. but that he said, what is the crime that you're looking for in the inquiry? he said, that is why we're having the impeachment inquiry. then he said, what are you looking for? then somebody passed him a no, for high crime misdemeanor. and then he tore up his hands and said, which one? it is amazing after 11 months of this wild goose chase, they cannot identify what the criminal event is, what the criminal offense is, why joe biden should be impeached. remember, these are people who voted against impeaching donald trump for inciting a violent insurrection that smashed all of us in the face. they saw that with their own eyes and voted no. now, they're voting for and impeachment inquiry for an event that can be defined. it's making a mockery out of the constitution. >> just because he referenced it, and i agree, it was and illuminating exchange. let me play that exchange that you reference with congressman, take a look. >> what is the specific constitutional crime that you are investigating? >> we are having an inquiry, so that we can do an investigation, produced the witnesses -- >> what is the crime that you are -- >> high crimes, misdemeanors -- >> which high crime and misdemeanor are you investigating? >> it's like a time, i will explain. >> i can't get an answer. i don't think members of the oversight committee can get an answer, or that means committee, or the judiciary committee. i don't think that there is an answer. >> this is something that, it is a grave constitutional step, and here is another thing that i am thinking about today. again, you were there all along, i think that there can often be a kind of instinct in the mainstream press, even public perception that. partisans do this to each other. democrats go after republicans, republicans go after democrats. as someone who lived through this without a trump, and i remember covering this, there are some parts of the democratic caucus that wanted to attempt to impeach donald trump early on. i think even some colorable constitutional claims, for instance, the violation of the -- class. it just did not happen until the ukraine focal, because there was a sense that we don't have something that rises to the level of an impeachable crime. there really is a difference in the way that democrats conducted this with donald trump, and what the house republican majority do. >> you are absolutely right because, at this point, in the eyes that the republican on crimes, like what we're talking about with biden, become crimes, because they want them to be -- and the real crimes, like inciting a violent insurrection, that wounded and hospitalized a 150 hostages, killed people atop the government, it's not a crime, not an event, it was a normal tourist visit, as you know, which is why american tours are not very popular abroad these days, apparently. everything is completely inverted, but another way of looking at this is that it all goes back to donald trump. if you follow the call to trump, joe biden was an illegitimate president, even though he won by more than 7 million votes, there are 60 3:32. they tried to block him by every means possible in the states and the oj, by getting the vice president to take a walk and so on. none of it worked. they tried to stop biden, and some of them, including at least stefanik, stand by what they did. and to this day, they believe that biden must be taken down by any means necessary, and that is all the impeachment is about. it's punishing him enough to try to bring him down in the election. that's where we are, back to the basic struggle for democracy against the autocrats and the kleptocrats and plutocrats and the for your kratz. we're surrounded by them, but i hope and believe that the democrat party is up to task. >> yeah, this is just another front in the battle. congressman jamie raskin, who shares a birthday with tell us with, i learn today, happy birthday, congressman. >> you are very kind. >> i, thanks a lot. coming up, hunter biden goes on the offensive. for six years, i have been the target of the unrelenting trump attack machine, shouting, where's hunter? well, here is my answer, i am here. >> what the new plan of attack means for president biden and his family next. his family next. ay treatment used for h-i-v in many people whether you're 18 or 80. with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to undetectable—and stay there whether you're just starting or replacing your current treatment. research shows that taking h-i-v treatment as prescribed and getting to and staying undetectable prevents transmitting h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your healthcare provider. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. no matter where life takes you, biktarvy can go with you. talk to your healthcare provider today. we really don't want people to think of feeding food like ours is spoiling their dogs. good, real food is simple. it looks like food, it smells like food, it's what dogs are supposed to be eating. no living being should ever eat processed food for every single meal of their life. it's amazing to me how many people write in about their dogs changing for the better. the farmer's dog is just our way to help people take care of them. ♪ hey, doc, quick question. take cokay?f them. if you had to choose, would you give yourself a root canal or run payroll? run payroll, no question. you know how tough payroll can be, right? no. we switched to gusto, and paying my team couldn't be easier. gusto gives me unlimited payroll runs, next day direct deposits, and automatically files my taxes. ooh, taxes! sounds like you know the drill. good one! can i run payroll too?

did we peak your interest? you can get two unlimited lines for just $30 each a month. there are no term contracts or line activation fees. and you can bring your own device. oh, and all on the most reliable 5g mobile network nationwide. wireless that works for you. for six years, maga it's not just possible, it's happening. republicans, including members of the house committees, who are in a closed door session right now, have attacked my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my children, my family and my friends. they have ridiculed my struggle with addiction, they belittled my recovery, and they have tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass and damage my father. >> the lone surviving son of president joe biden, hunter, has been an obsessive focus for the right for a few years. he is not the subject of an impeachment inquiry into his father for conduct the even happen during joe biden's presidency. for all of this, hunter and his father have been in opposition, because joe biden and here's a crucial norm for american constitutional governments, something that explicit donald trump would never for a second follow. but you imagine if his son was indicted with the doj? and that norm means that joe biden cannot comment on the ongoing case, that the department of justice is pursuing against his own son. hunter biden has also not wanted to further dira or injure his father politically, so he has largely kept silent. but he appe have decided recently that enough is enough, and you have to say something and you're on the fence. as betsy woodruff swan reported and lical today, quote, hunter biden's public address on wednesday surprised many of the house republicans who have subpoenaed him detoxify behind closed doors, getting wall-to-wall cable news coverage, he showed up on the turf to reiterate that he would only testify in public. joining me now is betsy woodruff swan, national correspondent for politico. betsy, i had been reading your reporting on this throughout. i had to say, i was so struck today, partly because i work in television, but here is a person that i have read profiles of, read print interviews with, no a fair amount, right incredibly intimate things that he has set, or have been said to him, because of his laptop being leaked. i don't think i have ever seen the guy speak, and i was so struck by, here is this person, an actual human being and guy, talking to us. it was a striking moment. what did you make of it? >> it's fascinating, because he is one of the most covered people in american public life. if you look at stats about people who frequently feature mostly in fox news, the daily mail, hunter biden is those at the top of the list. there is an extraordinary amount of public interest, especially right wing media interest of him as a person. but, for years, he engaged in what folks close to him have called strategic silence. there was a conscious decision by hunter biden, by advisers closest to him, going back to the genesis of the justice department groping into his taxes, that he needed to keep a set down, stay away from the limelight, not do the kind of thing that he did today. and the calculation was, if he cooperated with the doj and
