it is pretty inspiring. >> sandra: what does it mean to see the president there the first sitting president to ever arrive in new york city for this big veterans day parade and kick it off with a speech as they will now begin their march in new york city, david? >> i think it's great and it should be incumbent on the commander-in-chief. he is in charge of all the military active and he is an executive that sees over all those veterans as well. him showing his support and how seriously he takes this is inspiring and is a responsibility, too. >> bill: there will be tens of thousands of people lining fifth avenue as the parade goes toward manhattan. a beautiful day. remarkable stuff. we're squeezing it in between two big storms. the powers above are working with us here, david, as we wait on the vice president. >> i think it's great. i'm here in d.c. and it's the same sort of day down here and great event going on over at

house republican cover-up caucus wants sham witnesses to testify. my two cents get lost all in caps. garrett tenney mentioned the possibility of surprises. i don't know if you anticipate some. maybe tomorrow when the president says he might release the first transcript of the first phone call with ukrainian president from april. smart idea or not, andy? >> i don't know. i think, bill, part of the democrats' theory here is that the president promised the ukrainian president a meeting at the white house, which is what came up in that initial conversation. and that is part of what the democrats allege is the quid pro quo. that the president refused to grant that meeting until the ukrainians agreed to conduct these investigations. i don't know how much that would help, but we'll see how it goes. >> bill: throw it all in the bucket and see what we get. andy mccarthy our lead-off guest for this week on this veterans day. thank you, andy. >> sandra: president trump set to kick off the veteran's day

happen between now and wednesday when the public hearings are set to begin. >> sandra: that's for sure. thank you. >> bill: we're ready for surprises, aren't we? want to bring in andy mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney. author of the book wall of collusion. good morning. i want to frame this segment the following way. democrats first and then republicans. for democrats to make the hearings a success this week what do they need to do? >> bill, i think what they need to do is try to keep the focus tightly on the president's behavior and specifically those of his emissaries in ukraine and try to make all of it about whether there was this alternative pipeline of u.s. policy that was aimed not toward the betterment of u.s./ukraine relations in the national interest, but in trying to improve president trump's fortunes in terms of the 2020 campaign. >> bill: we'll watch that.
