Testify in the ukraine vanessa is outfront. Impeachment hearings. Thank you. This is video as the republican mayor Pete Buttigieg is in stunt was about to take place. Sources telling cnn that the nevada desert riding high President Trump knew about this, after the last debate. Were you able to catch the knew that it was going to go down and the lawmakers walked in debate last week by any chance. There and we understand it was, [ cheers and applause ] well, sources tell us they were okay. Good. Screaming in each others faces did i do okay . Adding, quote, it was the [ cheers and applause ] buttigieg striking a more closest ive seen around here to mass civil unrest as a member of aggressive tone on the heels of last weeks cnn New York Times congress. Well, this type of behavior is debate. I think its helped us reach not something that we see in the United States. The next level. Where he called out elizabeth no, it is what sometimes we see in other countries that dont warren over how she would pay have the strong institutions that we have here, countries for the medicare for all plan. We heard it tonight a yes or like ukraine, which is at the no question without a yes or no center of the impeachment answer. Your signature is is to have a investigation, yelling, fingers plan for everything, except this in peoples faces. After raking in a million stuff that, you know, like to dollars in the 24 hours scoff at or laugh at. Following the debate, adding to well, that seems to be what this his sizable war chest, buttigieg impeachment investigation is is doubling down on the campaign coming down to now that the president s own top diplomat in trail. Including here in las vegas. Ukraine bill taylor detailed a will taxes go up with your medicare for all who want it yes quid pro quo telling lawmakers or no. Good question because not he was told trump would withhold everybody has been answering crucial military aid to ukraine this question. Until the country lafrned an butting is seeking to draw investigation into biden and the contrast was his more 2016 election. Progressive rivals, touting his testimony so damaging that trump is resorting to smears, tweeting vision for health care, medicare for all who want it as a less never trump republican disruptive approach. Its a very important difference between me and representing never trumper senator warren and some of the Democrat Bill taylor who i dont others. And we will continue making sure know in testimony before we have made that clear. Congress. One thing to say loud in clear yet zpliet the strong on the back of that tweet is performance, a new poll shows whatever taylors politics may or may not be, he was hand buttigieg Holding Steady at 6 . Picked by trumps secretary of behind joe biden, warren and state mike pompeo. He has served in government for bernie sanders. 30 years under all president s of knows watching the debate, beginning with Robert Reagan and 21 said buttigieg did the best. Was ambassador by george bush, trailing only warren. And to slam him as a liar is here is one of them. Just wrong and another thing, im all in for pete. Trump is now slamming the when did you decide that . Investigation is unfair. The last debate. Heres that part. And what was it about the donothing democrats allowed last debate that sold you . Republicans zero reasoning, zero due process and zero he was tough in a nice transparency. Does anybody think this is fair . Respectful manner. But matt defalk o a fellow well, if hes going to put that out, his tens of millions of followers its also important to say loudly and clearly that is how the impeachment process works. Felt he was fo combative. It is not a court of law and by i dont need lessons from you the way, there is republican on political or courage. Representation in those hearings. Every republican on the committee can be there and ask question, same with the it felt i felt we know democrats. They have equal time to question witnesses. Mayor pete and we have a ton of so if that is unfair, okay . Respect for him. But that didnt feel like either. If, well, it was certainly quite are you concerned this this fair when republicans were in new phone is going to alienate charge. Flashback to 2015. Potential voters. As we have seen the debates trey gowdy, remember him . Former chairman who was helped grow support for the investigating benghazi, he said, campaign. And its still me but sometime noncommittee members are not you have to point out allowed in the room during the deposition. Differences. I believe in kindness but those are the rules and we have sometimes need to make sure to follow them. No exceptions made. Nobody confuses kindness for he was right then. They are right now. Weakness. This new more aggressive no exceptions, and tonight as the future of trumps presidency approach is something the mayor says he plans to continue on the is at stake, trump is now slamming republicans, hitting campaign trail in order to them really hard because he differentiate himself from the other candidates. Now from here in nevada, he is thinks they are not protecting him. They dont have a mitt romney heading to two more early voting in their midst. They dont have the mitt romneys of the world. States, New Hampshire and south they stick together better than carolina where he are push the the republicans. Medicare for all plan for all we have to stick together who want it and then continue we have to stick together manu raju is out front live the message trying to capitalize on momentum from the debate. On capitol hill. Manu, what are you learning thank you vanessa, very much. About what cooper said when the and next dont forget the deposition actually got started many hours later due to the pepperoni. We try to find a humors side to things. They took the time here to order frickas. What did she say . After five hours delay, she ultimately did testify behind closed doors for three and a dominos. Half hours which is much shorter than other witnesses, but we have learned from people who attended this deposition that she gave a detailed and technical readout about how foreign aid has been dispersed and how it typically happens and lawmakers came away how the ukraine aid was dealt with and how it was deviated from that normal process. This, of course, comes in the aftermath of that riveting testimony from yesterday in which the top diplomat in ukraine bill taylor raised serious concerns that the ukrai ukraine aid had been stalled until the ukrainians announced the investigations into the bidens in 2016 campaign. When they stormed the proceedings, democrats said this was an effort to distract away from the headline that was generated throughout the day in that closeddoor deposition that was about to take place in the morning. I am told that a republican congressman bradley burn got in the face of adam schiff and yelled at him as did Louis Golmert screaming about the process. There was one democratic pushback one from val demings by a republican saying that they wanted to be this kind of role model for their children and on it went for some time as republicans refused to leave the room. After five hours they did and even so, some republicans heres the thing about managing multiple clouds brought their electronics into a for your business. Secure area which is not allowed when youve got public clouds, and some republicans said they didnt know the procedures, and and private clouds, and hybrid clouds nevertheless adam schiff came out and he was asked if he was things can get a bit cloudy for you. Concerned if the facility of the but now, theres the Dell Technologies cloud, secure facility had been compromised in any way and he said yes. He is concerned. He did not elaborate in any way, powered by vmware. But he contended this was all an a single hub for a consistent operating experience effort to scare other witnesses and intimidate other witnesses across all your clouds. That should clear things up. To not come forward in this impeachment probe. I want to talk to someone who goldi knows to never compromise. Was also there when the republicans stormed in and was too shabby also there when assistant secretary lara cooper was able too much to give herr deposition after too perfect five hours. Congressman eric swallow sits on i can rent this . For that price . The house judiciary committees. Absolutely. I appreciate your time. What is this, some kind of fairy tale . I want to start first with with the news here in the actual its just right book your just right rental at thrifty. Com. Investigation after the five hours. You finally did get to hear from oh baby bear laura cooper. She stayed. She gave her testimony. You were able to depose her. Did you learn anything new, congressman . Good evening, erin. Yes, we did, and i can characterize it this way. All of the arrows continue to point in one direction which is that this shakedown scheme from the very top ordered by the president was well under way this summer. Weve not seen an arrow pointing in any other direction, and i do want to thank miss cooper and i know my colleagues do, as well, for enduring this chaotic scene today and still sticking around. She had a lawyer that was a paid to the wait did frowe just winners. Prouders out of her pocket who she everyone uses their phone differently. Probably didnt expect to have to be there for five extra hour, thats why Xfinity Mobile lets you design but she is a good, public, your own data. Now you can share it between lines. Mix with unlimited, and switch it up at anytime nonpartisan Civil Servant who so you only pay for what you need. Waited around and provided its a different kind of Wireless Network designed to save you money. Truthful testimony. You heard manu explain how save up to 400 a year on your wireless bill. The technical process of how plus get 250 back when you buy an eligible phone. Military aid would be dispersed and was able to lay out how in call, click, or visit a store today. This case it deviated from the norm. How important was her testimony to your case for impeachment. Her testimony specifically. What i can say, erin is that we know that the president wanted from the ukrainians two things. For them to investigate the 2016 election and exonerate russia and to investigate his upcoming 2020 opponent and Vice President biden, and if they did that they get a white house meeting and the Security Assistance they needed. Miss cooper was a part of the Decision Making process and was a witness to what others were doing around the Security Assistance. I will say this, we have plenty of evidence and you saw in the statement that was put in the Washington Post yesterday from ambassador taylor that the here is jeanne. Assistance was tied to the president sands for while accusing democrats of. Investigations and miss cooper was a relevant witness today in of weird theatrical that regard. All right. Performance. The republicans put on one of obviously which could be their own, storming the secure significant and now i want to get to the five hours time that room used for impeachment was wasted today. You were inside that secure room proceedings and then ordering when republicans stormed in and pizza. I understand that they brought pizza and chick filet. Held the deposition up for hours. How would you describe it . Skeeve scalise ordered pizza we understand there was the for the presses. The news trickling out in reporting is that we have, was there people yelling in faces, treats. Ordering pizza for themselves was there screaming. Is that accurate . And the press. Side note they sent us i saw in these desperate times for this president and his defenders in congress, they took dominos and got themds we the pizza, arguably the best in d. C. Major ethical dilemma facing desperate, distractionary measures. It didnt work. Hungry reporters right now, read i think it was unfortunate, and one media tweet prompting the i just sat down, the witness was sitting across from me at the reply, dominos is not ethical table. You had about 50 members of dilemma its like 5. 99. Congress already in the room ready for this hearing and then did the press flock to it like i saw the witness abruptly get up and leave and then in comes new york city pigeons. Lets see who touches it. All these members who are not on the committee. One touched it were not sure theyre got their electronics who. This is woman is all of us out, theyre shouting and screaming and this woman, you right now. The yall, i have become a meme. Know, she works for the federal government and just keeps her im dead. Head down and wants to do her actually she is the press secretary for one of the job is defying orders from the white house to not participate republican occupiers. A departing democrat describe and this is what shes subjected the scene inside the scif. To, but were not going to let it deter us. A bunch of Freedom Caucus we moved forward. Members having pizza around a the chairman is determined to get this done fairly and also conference table pretending to swiftly and they can continue be brave. The politic ieszing of pizza even included impeachment jokes. The high hijinks. Republican mark meadows walked out and said, off the record, in pizza is for you. There is no quid pro quo. They violated the rules. You can eat it. Is there any repercussion for intd of angry republicans that . Ill leave it to the speaker and the chairman to decide that, demanding a more open but if their goal today was to impeachment process. Show your face. Obstruct and delay the stuff your face was the order proceedings, it didnt work. Clearly, this was sanctioned by the president who met with many of the day. Jeannecnn, new york. Of them yesterday and told them to go fight harder and this is an overall consciousness of anderson starts now. Guilt. This is what guilty people do. The president tells them to fight harder because he has a good evening, we begin the guilty conscience. Program last night saying that hes confessed, Mick Mulvaney yesterday could prove to be one has cosigned that confession. Of the most consequential days in donald trump as presidency. They dont want to be a part of the process and what was today could prove to be one of interesting today, ill just say this. The weirdest because the day the people when stuck around for after the diplomat and five hours in that room and held that room, they were in that room longer than the overwhelming decades long Public Servant laid out the ukraine quid pro quo to majority of members on the House Impeachment Committee republican side who are supposed to be in that room during these members about two dozen hearings. They show up and complain about conservative republican lawmakers decided to engage in a the process and they bounce publicly stunt storming the scif period. Where a Senior Pentagon official were there any republicans that stay in and listen to this . Yes, there are, and the Deputy Assistant second laura cooper was about to testify to overwhelming majority of those that come in leave. All right. Republican and democratic and just one other question, the lawmakers some held up phones ones who stay, are they asking questions putting in the time and the thought and the effort . Are you getting that feeling from your republican colleagues on the committee who are allowed to be there who get the same time you get to ask questions . I am seeing these cockamamie conspiratorial questions that believe that ukraine was involved in the election interference rather than russia, and i credit francis rooney, a republican who was asking the right questions publicly on television about what hes seen. Id like to see people like him who are visibly concerned by whats going on. I would like to see them have an opportunity to ask fair questions of these witnesses. Thank you very much, congressman swallow. I appreciate your time. Next, i have breaking news. It undercuts a key part of trumps defense.
