The house. there's a passionate base that wants to pursue this, who believes that his actions have already risen but practically they know it's a fool's errand unless they have substantial bipartisan support. democrats can do that with a simple majority. you're never going to get 67 members of the senate to convict and remove the president unless there's a massive turn of the approval of the president amongst republicans. >> the other major concern when it comes to the "i" word is floating the possibility of getting ready to impeach the president as soon as the house flips something they under...

Back in front of the senate for a trial? >> well, that's possible. first, it looks just like it would work in impeaching the president. there has to be first a vote of impeachment in the house of representatives. which means they have to put together evidence i think in this case. the only evidence that would make for any kind of impeachable offense is if they can show conclusively that brett kavanaugh lied in his confirmation hearings. then you have to go to the senate where you need a two-thirds majority to convict and i think that's almost impossible. i really don't think impeachment is goi...

Turnout in midterms is much lower than in presidential years. i don't think there's very many republicans motivated to turn out and pull the lever for democrats. i don't think that's going to be a strategy that works. where former presidents are extremely helpful are on the fund-raising circuit. if obama is willing to do that for the democratic party, i'm sure he could pull in quite a lot of money for these campaigns. this message of bringing republicans in to vote for democrats i find to be a fool's errand. they need to be rallying democrats to turn out in as big a numbers as possible. i woul...

Chuck, i just want to get initially your take on this list that axios has put together. do you think that is a comprehensive list? >> not a chance. i think that falls into the category of the known unknowns and the known knowns. every time we see an indictment or a plea agreement out of the mueller team, we read it and say wow, i didn't know that. i never heard of alexander van der zwaan or mr. patten, or i had no idea that cohen did this or the russian military officials did that, every single time. so i presume that we have a tiny fraction of what mueller has. and even trying to guess at wha...

>> we signed on on june 1, and barring satellite problems in the future, we won't be signing off until the world ends. >> there was a widespread belief there was a fool's errand. how could this possibly find an audience? well, he did. >> ready, camera three. >> good evening. i'm david walker. >> i'm lois harp. >> television news before this was stuff that had already happened. for the first time, cnn brought the world to people in realtime. >> cnn, the world's most important network. >> i didn't do cable news network because somebody told me it couldn't be done. i figured it was a very viable ...
