Insight into the president s thinking and how the white house is handling the various controversies its facing. Theres been no formal press briefing in at least 69 days now. Back to this weekend, the justice the congressman, i should say, justin amash, who is calling for the president s impeachment, hes the only republican in the house to do that so far. A republican senator told cnn today that its not time to talk impeachment on his side of capitol hill. Cnns Boris Sanchez is at the white house right now. Boris, the president accusing this congressman of just trying to, quote, get his name out there through controversy. Any other republicans weighing in on this back and forth . Reporter hey, ana, yeah, the chairwoman of the Republican National committee, rhana mcdaniel weighed in, in his words, parroting democratic talking points. He also see a tweet from a state representative in michigan, jim lower. Hes a trump supporter and his tweets seem to suggest hed challenge Justin Amashs seat in the 2020 election, so keep your eyes pealed for that. The most notable republican to speak out on that, mitt romney, spoke on state of the union and said he respects justin amarshal and decision to stick to his guns and perspective on this, he does not believe the president committed impeachable offenses. Listen to what he told jake this morning. My own view is that justin amash has reached a different conclusion than i have. I respect him. I think its a courageous statement. But i believe that to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just dont have the elements that are evidenced in this document. And i also believe that an impeachment call is not only something that relates to the law, but also considers practicality and politics. And the American People just arent there. And i think those that are considering impeachment have to look also at the jury which would be the senate. The senate is certainly not there, either. Everyone reaches their own conclusion. As i read the report, i was troubled by it. Was very disappointing. For a number of reasons. But it did not suggest to me that this was time to call for impeachment. Meantime, democrats are pretty divided. On one hand, you have senator Elizabeth Warren as you know, ana, is running for president. She supports impeachment. She had kind woods for justin amash today at a Campaign Event and House Speaker nancy pelosi doesnt want to waste time on impeachment when he could be voted out of office in about two year. Beyond that, she made the case President Trump commits impeachable act every day, ana. Boris sanchez, thank you for that. Earlier, i spoke to Eric Swalwell of california, 1 of 23 democrats running for president. I asked him about congressman amash calling President Trumps actions impeachable and whether hes ready to begin impeachment proceedings. Heres our conversation. Were on a ooed road to impeachment. Its not a road any of us want to go on. Its a bipartisan road it looks like. I will tell you, ana, mr. Amash is someone from the day the russians did this, he and i worked together to put forward legislation to have an independent commission. I believe that we should put what the russians did and to study it out of congress and into the hands of experts and scholars and statespersons. Every democrat joined me when i wrote that legislation. Only two republicans. Justin amash was one of them. So hes showed courage very early on. And so im not surprised that hes standing up for whats right today. Just to clarify, when you say, were on the road to impeachment, are you ready to call for impeachment at this time . Well, im on the judiciary committee. Im you know, im actually one of the only i am the only president ial candidate who would actually have to try the case on that committee, and so what i want to do is make sure that as we go down this road, that we get the full Mueller Report, that we hear from bob mueller, that we hear from don mcgahn and that we are not doing donald trump justice, which if we did donald trump justice, we would just already reach the conclusion and not rely on the facts. I still believe in the rule of law. I think the rule of law, responsibly, would dictate us to start having, you know, the full Mueller Report and these hearings immediately but i think thats where we ultimately end up. We did have hundreds of prosecutors, former federal prosecutors, who came out in recent weeks saying that they see with their own eyes in the Mueller Report the redacted portion of it. That the president obstructed justice. Again, you have a law degree, yourself. If he obstructed justice, whats your hesitation to say its time to impeach . I was a prosecutor as well, and hes a doubledigit obstructor by bob muellers standards. Again, ana, to me, its just i dont want to do donald trump justice. When this president is impeached, i want it to have the weight of the process and the order that respectfully gave him a fairer trial than he deserves, so im certainly not taking it off the saying the best thing we can do, get bob mueller in, see the full report which right now the president could just order it to be released to us. He said hes 100 exonerated. Well, if thats the case, he should give us. 100 of the report. I want to ask you more about your oversight responsibilities. All these different probes into the president. Right now, cnn is aware of at least 21 subpoenas relating to the president. What do you say to those who argue you are overreaching . Not conducting oversight . Well, we can walk and chew gum because this congress has pass passed background checks. We passed the equality act last week, gives the lgbtq act. We passed the voting act. Has independent redistricting commissions in every single state so our elections are no longer rigged through gerrymandering. That means we also have a responsibility to put a balance of power on all of these pieces of power. We cant look the other way just because there are other priorities. Its a lot of work. Certainly more than i think you would ever see any congress have to do with any president. But were up for the job. And making sure that this is still a country of free ideas, free markets, and a free press. That is our top responsibility. Youre a father. Youre a husband. Over the last if few wefew weeke states passed incredibly restrictive abortion laws. You said you would only nominate Supreme Court justices who promise to uphold roe v. Wade. Do you think 2020 is going to be a battle over the Supreme Court . Yes. And it must be. And i would only appoint justices that uphold the law. And also, i would fight to make sure that we put into law more protections in congress that cement the roe v. Wade ruling including repealing the Hyde Amendment which essentially only allows women of wealth and means to have Abortion Services while any other woman who receives government helt caalth care is prohibited from doing so. Thats a benefit from frhaving young people in the white house, issues facing young people to student debt, which i have, to having kids safe in our schools, to a woman being able to make her own health care decisions. You talk about, yes, you believe the Supreme Court is going to be a major issue for 2020. I talkeded to ed ted to to peop campaign in 2016 who voted for donald trump because the Supreme Court was such a big issue for them. What makes you think democrats would have the upper hand this time around . Its the cost of us not recognizing how big of an issue it was in 2016. Now that we have, you know, two justices on the bench who probably will not uphold the ruling in roe v. Wade and also, i weve seen the devastating effects of money in politics because the Supreme Court said that money is speech and that corporations are people. And so being a president who would do all i could to get rid of the dirty money and the dirty map math that pollute our government, structurally, its really poisoning our democracy. Congressman Eric Swalwell, really appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you, my pleasure, ana. Lets bring in cnns senior political analyst david gergen. He served as an adviser to four u. S. President s including nixon and clinton. I mentioned nixon and clinton specifically because they both faced the threat of impeachment. David, this weekend we have republican congressman justin amash speaking out saying trumps actions are impeachable. So far, democrats, democrats, in fact, are still divided on this issue of impeachment and more republicans, we arent seeing exactly rushing forward to side with congressman amash, so does amash weighing in change anything . Not very much. It we do know now that hes not only one of the most conservative members of congress, but hes also one of the bravest because hes surely inviting a possibility of a challenge the next time out when he runs and hes been there now hes in his fifth term now. So he knows what hes getting into. He has not been afraid its important to understand, he has been a lone voice often in the wilderness in the Republican Party when it comes to donald trump now for a couple of years. You go all the way back to 2017 when he was talking about the possible impeachment of the president , what various how he might meet the threshold now hes called for. I think in some ways more significant with what he had to say today was what mitt romney had to say because amash was an expected, you know, person, but romney is someone, you know, has been unclear which way he was going to come out on the big issues and for him to try to put a quash on impeachment i think speaks a lot about how little appetite there is among republicans in the senate to support impeachment proceedings. Is there anything that you think could break the dam or sort of flip the switch as you put it, perhaps, hearing from mueller himself . I think the i think the next big chapter, opening, for this whole effort is going to be mueller, unless Something Else breaks, mueller serving as a witness because i think we havent he sort of has a voice of god quality about him, doesnt he . Hed been so silent and has so many things to clarify. That will be mustwatching for anybody who cares about politics and about the presidency. Its also still up in the air if don mcgahn, the president s former white house counsel, will testify before the house y judiciary, which is supposed to happen on tuesday. The white house, we know, ordered him not to comply with the subpoena for documents last week and he apparently listened to them. What do you make of the white houses intervention and will it extend to his scheduled public testimony . Well, i think the white house is taking a risk. They clearly want to prevent any more news stories coming out and sort of close this whole thing down as Mitch Mcconnells trieded to do in the senate. I do think going with one of your questions to congressman swalwell, 21 different subpoenas out there, at least a dozen investigations under way, i do think that is its so many. Its hard for anybody to keep up with it. Much less people who are paying sort of modest amount of attention. And i think the democrats would be so much better off if they collected themselves under one committee and did sort of a systemic runthrough as opposed to this scattergun approach which i think is leaving everyone confused. And, you know, frankly, may get boring after a while unless they come up with some stuff pretty quickly. I want to talk more about 2020 because we have 23 democrats please. Running and as of right kn now, we have joe biden leading the field. He held his First Official rally yesterday. He didnt shy away from attacking President Trump. Lets listen. While hes lashing out at his political opponents, obsessing over his personal grievance, look, heres the most important thing to remember. The rest of the world isnt waiting. Isnt waiting. China isnt waiting. Theyre building 5g. Mastering a. I. Theyre rewriting the rules of the internet. Theyre moving into areas that should not be abandoned by us. The rest of the world hasnt given up on the paris climate accord. Theyre pushing it. They know its essential to human existence. It seems like theres been some disagreements between democrats over whether to attack trump personally or on policy. Do you think joe biden did a good job there of finding a way to do both . Yes, i do. So far, its working for him. Better than anybody could have expected. Nobody thought by this time in a race he would essentially have twice as much support as a Bernie Sanders whos second to him only. Sort of like an 18 for sanders versus 36 or so for biden. So hes opened up this lead and i think its because he has understood from the start that the one thing democrats agree on is the need to get trump out of there. And i do think, if i may add, ana, this alabama statute, its now leading the charge in trying to bring down roe v. Wade. I think thats going to change the race a lot. Its going to mobilize women again. You know, the me too movement and women the marches have fallen off some here in the last 12 months or so, and i think that the whole issue of abortion is going to reenergize a lot of women. The whole notion that we could have five men on the Supreme Court tell four people in the minority, three of whom are women, what women ought to do with their bodies, important to a lot of people. So do can you think this abortion issue, should it become a defining issue of 2020, could backfire on republicans and democrats would stand to benefit most . Yes, i do. When you start with a proposition that 58 of americans today believe that most or all abortions should be legal, and thats 20 more than the conservative side, you already can feel that where the weight of the public is on this. But its also true, and when the republicans try to carve out exceptions for rape, incest, as well as the health of the mother, which is where, you know, President Trump has come out in tweets this weekend and others like mccarthy are supporting those exceptions, that is such a small part of what is objectionable to most women. It does not deal with the fact in this alabama law, if roe v. Wade is overturned, all abortion, all abortions, no matter where you are in your term, all abortions would be banned unless you had rape, incest, or health of the mother. So that is a very draconian view and in addition, people who talk about exceptions and trying to lighten up on the alabama law, they havent said a word about criminalizing abortion and the doctors in if alabama, if roe v. Wade is struck down, doctors in alabama could spend up to 99 years in prison. A life sentence. Of course. Thats a life sentence. So wheres a woman going to get an abortion like this . I think this issue hasnt been fully unpacked before the country to think it through. And i think that i do think that there are a lot of women who are going to respond angrily if they think a bunch of old white guys are going to cram this down their throats. All right, david gergen, i always appreciate your insight. Thank you for being here. Thank you, ana. Thank you. Just in, we have this, President Trump tweeting a veiled threat to iran. Warning never threaten the United States again. What he says will happen if it does. And senator Bernie Sanders in alabama marching against one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. But as a common message emerges among 2020 candidates on the debate, will it win over voters . Plus, an alert coach doubling as a Security Guard is now a hero after he prevented a School Shooting in oregon. Hear what he says made him tackle a Student Armed with a gun.
