Out al-baghdadi today. but a terrible week for american national security under this commander in chief. >> let's turn to the impeachment inquiry against president trump while we have you because on wednesdays, you had a group of republican members of congress, they stormed a closed-door hearing in a secure area to protest the impeachment proceedings. you said on twitter that the republicans are attacking the process because the substance is indefensible. unpack that for us. not just the criticism of republicans, but their point that at some point all of this has to become public that if impea...

Will likely be a senate trial perhaps in january or february or maybe in december depending on how it goes. >> it's a senate resolution. it's not a binding sort of thing. the way these resolutions are structured, there are several paragraphs of background and then a couple of real points that close it out as a resolution. they do make some strong arguments that kind of question the motives and the legitimacy of what the house is doing. but the ultimate conclusion, the three points at the end are pretty focused mild process claims. they would like the minority to be able to issue subpoenas in t...
