j trump has abuse the powers of the presidency in that using the powers of his office donald trump solicited interference of a foreign government, ukraine, in the presidential election. he did so through a scheme or course of conduct soliciting the government of ukraine to public and ounce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospect of a political opponent and influence the 2020 united states presidential election to his advantage. donald trump also sought to pressure the government of ukraine to take the steps by conditioning official united states government acts of significant value to ukraine on public announcement of the investigation. donald trump engaged in this scheme for corrupt purposes in pursuit of personal political benefit. in doing so donald trump used the powers of the presidency in a manner that compromised the national security of the united states and undermine the integrity of the united states democratic process, ignored and injured the interest of the nation. donald trump engaged a scheme or course of conduct through the following means.

donald trump pore michael bloomberg. >> donald trump. donald trump all the way. judge jeanine: do you like bloomberg? >> no. judge jeanine: he was the mayor of your city for three terms. did you watch the debate? >> i watched it, they should have closed it down right away. i don't understand what's going on with these democrats. judge jeanine: who would make a better construction work, donald trump or michael bloomberg. judge jeanine: did you like the way elizabeth warren beat down michael bloomberg? for all out confidence... ...depend® silhouette™ briefs feature maximum absorbency, beautiful colors and an improved fit for a sleek design and personal style. life's better when you're in it. be there with depend®.

he was donald trump's lawyer early in donald trump's career and donald trump wanted that kind of lawyer at the justice department. he wanted the kind of attorney general who would do anything for donald trump. anything. and that apparently is what donald trump seeps to have now. after tweeting his objections to federal prosecutors, just the recommendation in the roger stone case, william barr's justice department then changed the recommendation and lowered the sentencing for donald trump's friend, roger stone. that was enough for jonathan kravis who was one of the prosecutors. he notified the court that he would no longer be involved in the case and he then quit his job. at the justice department. three other prosecutors working on the roger stone case. aaron zelinsky, adam jed and mike marando notified that they would no longer be working on the case and in effected following donald trump's orders. so william barr signs new prosecutors for the sentencing phase. a phase that is now clearly meaningless, isn't it? because donald trump in his way today let us know, let roger stone know, th

donald trump is a russian operative. if tonight's reporting by "the washington post" and the "new york times" is true, and everything else we know about donald trump and vladimir putin indicates that it is true. >> did you want president trump to win the election, and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that? >> translator: yes, i did. because he talked about bringing the u.s./russia relationship back to norm. >> russia's interference has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt and donald trump was not president in in 2015 donald trump did not have the powers he has now to actively help russia help reelect the president of the united states. this is a dark lily momentous et in the history of the world. vladimir putin has become donald trump's running mate. once again. leading off our discussion tonight is democratic congressman jim himes of contract. he's a member of the house intelligence committee. congressman himes, what can you tell us about this meeting last week that's being reported in "the washingto

to help donald trump win re-election. and of course vladimir putin wants donald trump to be president. why would vladimir putin want anyone smarter than donald trump to be president of the united states? why would putin want the united states to have a stronger protector and defender of the constitution in the presidency? why would putin want an american president who wouldn't believe every word that putin says the way donald trump does? senator sanders was campaigning in california today when he was asked about "the washington post" report. >> when did you receive the briefing from "washington post" officials and why did you not reveal it publicly? why did you not reveal it publicly? >> i go to many intelligence briefings which i don't reveal to the public. let me say a word about russia. mr. putin is a thug. he is an autocrat. he may be a friend of donald trump's. he's not a friend of mine. let me tell mr. putin, the american people and the republicans, democrats, and under pents are sick and tired of seeing russia and

this is what donald trump is like. he will retaliate against people who were being honest under oath. it's saying you should not fulfill your duty and refuse to testify or lie under oath. those are the options these people had. and he's retaliating. he's using his official power to retaliate against someone who has served this country. >> and just to put a point on how vindictive this is, vinman had requested a transfer himself to the defense department that was going to happen in a month. trump wouldn't let him do that. he talks about leakers and liars. these people testified under threat of perjury. so, they told the truth. the people that didn't come forward, were the witnesses that he withheld. >> they would have been under oath. if they had told a lie, would have suffered the consequences of telling a lie. he didn't want those witnesses to come forward. interesting. >> if there was a song that encapsulated a song, they played "hail to the chief." an interesting song to play on a somber but celebratory occasion. >>

he claims donald trump has made it impossible for him to do his job and this comes as donald trump has, of course, been successful getting the doj to help roger stone and it has been sparking the protest resignations from prosecutors. >> i don't think they quit the case. i think what they do is they felt they got caught. you want to know the truthful i don't think they quit for moral reasons. i think they got caught in the act by me. >> now, new york types also reporting, federal prosecutors concerned about where this all goes. trump has attacked a roger stone juror that is an american citizen, alleging without evidence, significant bias, she had simply said in public that she thought the prosecutors who attorney general barr overruled had acted with integrity. i want to bring in eugene robinson from the "washington post." good to see you. >> good to be here. >> we heard from very seasoned lawyers first. for the bigger picture, we turn to you of this is both about the justice department but it is also after impeachment, after senate acquittal, it is about what is happening in trump's a

trump, that would do anything for donald trump, michael cohen said he would take a bullet for donald trump, but that when they veer from that path or even before they veer from that path, donald trump for one reason or another rejects them, and lets them face the consequences and it's something we have seen over and over again in donald trump's career. >> host: i think we have five or so minutes to go couple more question is want to get. to one of them. is you and i both spend a lot 0 of time reporting on conflicts of interest and con e concerns about conflicts of interest between president trump residents company and his administration, the government, which he and his family said they would keep very separate when he as elected and now travels to his properties all thank you time, various problems with if hotel, et cetera, three court cases. but the president donates his presidential salary, and it's still remains unclear to me sometimes whether the president is actually making more money because he is president or making less money while he is president. what do you think about th

let me show you donald trump's alloys in their sentences. paul manafort sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison going all the way down to 40 months for stone, three years for michael cohen, mr. papadopoulos, 45 days, the lowest sentence. if the sentence seeps relatively light, in this case it was far less than the seven to nine years, the longer sentence the original prosecutorial recommendation. on the other hand, i wonder if any average black or brown kid that was sentenced as a nonviolent drug offender could expect to get even a 7 1/2-year sentence? that leniency seems to only be for the rich and the well-connected. >> here's what i think we can expect to happen in coming weeks, is the criminal defense bar across the country, i would imagine, are going to be filing motions in just those cases of young people swept up in the criminal justice system and asking the court to ask doj, is the barr sentencing recommendation for a sentence that is far less than the sentencing guidelines that barr personally authorized in the roger stone case, is that

donald trump violated his oath. he broke the law. he attempted to cheat in the 2020 election and when he got caught, he left little doubt that he will cheat again. that is not the conduct we expect of an american president. that is the conduct of someone who believes that he or she is above the law. donald trump is our president. he is not our king. colleagues, if our destiny is to remain the most enduring democracy in the history of the world, we must not leave this to be a matter of chance. we must choose to preserve and protect our constitution and to do so we must convict donald trump on both articles of impeachment and remove him from office. as he left the constitutional convention in 1787, benjamin franklin was asked this question. we heard asked several times in the last two weeks on this floor. here's the question. he was asked, what do we have? what do we have here? a monarchy or a republic? franklin answered famously, a republic, if you can keep it. today i want to pose the same question to all of us, to our colleagues in

donald trump pore michael bloomberg. >> donald trump. donald trump all the way. judge jeanine: do you like bloomberg? >> no. judge jeanine: he was the mayor of your city for three terms. did you watch the debate? >> i watched it, they should have closed it down right away. i don't understand what's going on with these democrats. judge jeanine: who would make a better construction work, donald trump or michael bloomberg. judge jeanine: did you like the way elizabeth warren beat down michael bloomberg? >> yes, i did. did you see the tears in his eyes? order up. fries on the side. right where i like 'em. don't forget the grease fire. burn, baby -- wait, what? -[ alarm beeping ] -i said grease fire. what are you doing on the counter? when owning a small business gets real... sorry. can i get a to-go box? ...progressive helps protect what you built -with customizable coverage. -aah! i waited to get treated. thought surgery was my only option. but then i found out about nonsurgical treatments. it was a total game changer. learn more about the condition at factsonhand.c

should donald trump be nervous? >> the rnc has $70 million cash on hand so nothing to worry about in that regard. money doesn't necessarily win these elections. donald trump has twitter and that is free for everyone. moreover the progressives are not going to get behind mayor bloomberg in a big bank love affair. this is something bloomberg has to worry about, doesn't have a flyover state appeal, won't play well in the south. there are bigger issues. rob: and popular in new york and california. listen to this audio of michael bloomberg, talking about where he managed crime in new york city. >> murdered and murderers and murder victims. you can't happen up all the time. >> reporter: what will this do to bloomberg's campaign? >> he has to deal with it. he knows that. he already address these issues and you have seen the benefits, when you see biden dropping in the poll, with african-american voters, he will build a bridge to african-american community but they are responding. like all democratic voters, elect abilities

that's what donald trump does. if there's anything that we can be certain of in this moment is that donald trump is absolutely crazy. >> remember when we used to talk about how he would be presidential in times like this. >> that was so cute back then. that was a sweet idea we had. but it's never going to happen. donald trump is never going to be presidential. so, i think everybody needs to get their popcorn. they need to get their wine and we need to sit and watch what he's going to do because he's going to go into how the democrats are horrible, they're enemies of the state. he's going to rail against the press. he's going to rail against anybody that has ever stood up to him is going to be an enemy. he may call out specific networks, specific people. that's who donald trump is. he's a petty small man. and we're going to watch it full steam. >> no kidding. i remember the big speeches president trump has done. i remember being shocked on this set, brian williams and i when he pulled out of the paris accord, when h

donald trump has no shame. he cannot help himself. if we acquit president trump, he will believe himself to be accountable to no one. and when -- not if but when he is again faced with a choice between the public interest and his personal interest, he will choose his personal interest. and it will, in part, be a reckoning of our own making. a majority in this chamber will have made president trump a dictator. and then what will we tell the american people? how will we convince them that we still have a democracy that they should have faith in, a system of checks and balances that ensures accountability, that no one is above the law? this weekend i asked some of my constituents what they would say on the floor of the senate if they could make remarks in this trial. jennifer baker jones said it perfectly. quote, wednesday's vote won't be a vindication of trump but an end to the right of congress to push back on the president. they are giving up their balance of power. it will be difficult because we have already ceded much of our author

let's look at donald trump's approval rating a record high of 52% approve of the job donald trump is doing, a big number to have at this point in the middle of primary season. >> it is a huge number and democrats see that and it is obvious to everybody and they are freaking out a little bit and here's an important point. talking about the real clear politics average approval rating, go back to election day 2016. on the day donald trump was elected his rcp average approval rating was 37.5. look at that poll you had on-screen, at 52. imagine how far along, how much stronger donald trump is today than on the day he was elected in 2016. no wonder democrats are freaking out because they know they are in big trouble the matter who they nominate. rob: you had a moment from michael bloomberg when he talked about 40 democrats threatened by a bernie sanders campaign and we have that. >> talk about 40 democrats, 2100 people i spent $100 million to help elect. rob: sounds like he paid to get those people in office. >> he halfway said the word i bought them. that was seed money as far as he was c

no, not donald trump. mayor bloomberg. >> i don't think you look at donald trump and say we need somebody richner the white house. >> the mayor says he has a grade record. he's done these wonderful things. the fact of the matter is, he's not managed his city very well when he was there. he didn't get a lot done. he had stop and frisk, throwing close to five million young black men against the wall. >> we had very few nondisclosure agreements. >> how many?-- >> let me finish. none of them accused me of doing anything other than maybe they didn't like a joke i told. >> sean: that's like a dana white mma beat-down. you can buy a lot of things with $500 million. you can. but you can't buy a personality, charisma and you can't even buy good debate preparation. in two short hours, this never-ending slick $500 million marketing campaign collapsedhi before the entire country's eyes. the cover of the "new york post" called it a brutal beat-down. even the far left tabloid, the new york daily news compared it to a ma

so, this is a great week for donald trump. and then he got to be donald trump again. today all of the craziness and the greaveness and hunted housery that lives inside that largely empty, apart from the grievances, head of his, came tumbling out in public. if the guy could just not do the stuff he did today, it would be very hard to beat him in an election campaign. giveline the strengths of the economy l the other things and the foolishness on the democratic side, you say donald trump is the prohibitive favor toot get elected. and then he reminds you this guy's beatable because he's so profoundly flawed. he has his strengths but they're so great and glaring and unable to control them that he reminds everyone, with regularity like a clock, he reminds everyone of course he's beatable and he must be beaten and he feeds the fire on the democratic side. if there's anything democrats need to get back on track, it's that performance there today a stark reminder of what they must be up to. >> i think john make as very good point about donald trump reminding everyone about hi

the biggest fear of donald trump is no one running in the democratic primary, it's donald trump. because donald trump, he has a capacity dm we saw on thursday, do the crazy ridiculous things. i think if donald trump can be disciplined which is a huge ask, it makes it very hard for the democrats. any guarantee, donald trump will be chaotic and undisciplined. >> and his high water mark, he's at 49%. as good as it's been for donald trump. so this -- >> 63% on the economy and so the outreach that he did, whether you like him or not, people are starting to get used to this chaos and particularly if you have a grumpy 70-year-old -- 77-year-old bernie sanders being just as cranky but for this guy, the economy is good. >> no matter who the democratic candidate -- >> i'll bring this to jen, 49%, yes, you could make the argument with an economy it should be 55%, 60%. 49% was about where barack obama was at going for re-election. in this kind of polarized environment that may be enough. >> that's right, it may be. democrats should have their eyes open about that. looking back at this week,

i am not afraid of donald trump. donald trump is afraid of us. and that's why he keeps tweeting all the time. if he doesn't mention you, you got a big problem. but the president attacked me again on this morning on twitter. thank you very much, donald. he sees our poll numbers, and i think it's fair to say he is scared because he knows have i the record and the resources to defeat him. >> joining us now is writer tim o'brien, senior adviser to the bloomberg presidential campaign. before that, a trump biographer. tim, good to have you on the program. >> thanks, anderson. >> to me, that response by mayor bloomberg was -- that tweet in particular was very interesting, because the whole -- i've been fascinated by president trump's they are laughing at us constant refrain. he said that about obama all the time. oh, other countries are laughing at us. that seems to be one of his greatest fears. >> yes. >> which is people are laughing at me, making fun of me. and that bloomberg went right after that, it seems like he kind of knows the buttons to push wi

donald trump pore michael bloomberg. >> donald trump. donald trump all the way. judge jeanine: do you like bloomberg? >> no. judge jeanine: he was the mayor of your city for three terms. did you watch the debate? >> i watched it, they should have closed it down right away. i don't understand what's going on with these democrats. judge jeanine: who would make a better construction work, donald trump or michael bloomberg. judge jeanine: did you like the way elizabeth warren beat down michael bloomberg? michael bloomberg? >> bottom line is, moms love that land o' frost premium sliced meats have no by-products.

they voted for us. >> wow, donald trump crying treason back in 2018. a few days after a senior official in his administration published an op-ed in "the new york times," parts of an active part of an in-house version of the resistance, about a year later that same anonymous author published a book "a warning." at the time the white house mocked the book. but we now know that since the start of the president's impeachment, donald trump has been obsessively trying to find out the identity of the author. the daily beast is reporting today that the president tasked his point man on trade. peter navarro with uncovering anonymous. quote, people familiar with navarro's efforts said he had zeroed in on one likely suspect and compiled information in the report which he has shared with white house counsel pat cipollone who is leading internal efforts to unearth anonymous' identity. joining me is coauthor of the report, white house reporter for the daily beast. owe author of a book, sinking in the swamp, how millions and miss fits poisoned washington. thank you f

with donald trump. we have been taking him on from the beginning. and i think what that signals to voters, especially voters here in iowa who have noted that beating donald trump is one of the top things on their agenda, something me care most about in electing someone, no one obviously -- vice president biden is the person donald trump is most worried about. from our campaign's perspective, joy, it's important that we aggressively get the facts out there. just as you introduced this segment, you noted that these were salacious lies and conspiracy theories. look, we're not going to play donald trump's game here. we're not going to feed into it. and we're going to beat back these lies every chance we get. but we're also going to run our race, joy, and talk about the issues. >> that doesn't mean that unfortunately the media might not still do deep dives on hunter biden. right? the media played that role in a sense in 2016 of in a way playing into it, right? the clinton kaz was xerlted in the "new york tim

for donald trump through his presidency. that is significant especially during the impeachment and dollars hostility against him, something worth noting that despite the opposition he has been able to succeed and as far as what you are challenging, the unemployment rate for latino, black americans, young americans in the late 60 years, we are in energy independence, wages going up, the bottom 50% is outpacing the top 50%. you can challenge it but they know their lives are getting better. >> can i get one moment. we were energy independent when barack obama left office. barack obama lowered and implemented by 2%, donald trump lowered it by one point. barack obama created jobs at a higher rate in his last 3 is than trump had in his first 3. the gdp growth is appreciably lower. with tax cuts donald trump said we would get 4, 5 or six. we were 2.3. >> president obama, the manufacturing jobs were never going to come back, no one has a magic wand, and yet there are positive economic indicators including people who don't like the p

>> he avoids it because bernie sanders sort of analogous to donald trump -- donald trump through the republican primaries in 2016 kept getting 30% of the vote in all those primaries. bernie sanders clearly has about 30% of the democratic base locked in. young progressive voters, they really like bernie and as a result, the other candidates are very reluctant to alienate his voters by going after him. other than to say, you know, as amy klobuchar did, she didn't think a democratic socialist was electable. paul: other than that, how was the play, mrs. lincoln. new polls show bernie sanders struggling to maintain his lead in the granite state. can he close the deal with new hampshire voters? we'll talk to someone who l follows his campaign. can my side be firm? and my side super soft? yes. with the sleep number 360 smart bed, on sale now, you can both adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. can it help me fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. but can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep y

trump's defense team used their time to make a decision about donald trump dealing with ukraine should have been left up to the voters all along. >> protectable of the american people and their votes and protect our nation. >> the only appropriate result is to acquit the president then leave it to the voters to choose their president. >> house managers used their time to make a last-ditch effort to convince senators who do appear lined up with donald trump tomorrow that they could still change their mind. take a listen. >> if you have the courage to stand up to him, to speak the truth to his rank falsehood your place will be among the davids who took on goliath. >> more moderate democrats laid out what could become a third way, have to accept acquittal but now -- not exonerate donald trump either. listen to senator joe manchin. >> century allow the party to unite across party lines and as an equal branch of government to denounce the president's actions and hold him accountable. >> something that might surprise you, a new fox news poll, the vast majority of americans, 78% believe all o

donald trump set a terrible example. bill clinton went to new hampshire and pounded doors to come in third to declare victory. barack obama did walk lines and worked the business of politics. you may hate george w. bush, he would sit in a room and talk to every person in the room until they felt he was there best friend and that is the question, that is a separate book, not as exciting as the dramatic fight of our time but politics is about interpersonal connection and reaching out and finding people, we live in the age of digital voter profiles but there's a lot of work to be done and a lot of the personal connection has to be what you are and what you believe in. >> also running the green party candidate. >> by the way if you do a trick, a lot of times when you see a swing district, a republican and democrat evenly matched, green party candidate gets in the race i hired them. it is not illegal to find somebody to run the green party line and we will take care of the details and frankly, i say this in the book, democrat

and there's one more aspect of grenel that must really please donald trump. he's a rare gold trump card member of the trump d.c. hotel. perfect. this is who will now be responsible for briefing congress and the president about the conclusions of our collective intelligence community. i'm joined now by national security reporter at the daily beast who has been reporting this story out. thank you for being here, erin. i want to ask you, first of all, regarding this meeting where the republican members got upset reportedly at hearing that russia is back at it again trying to help trump get re-elected, what -- do you have reporting on what were they upset about? were they upset about the fact that basically the intelligence services were snitching on what russia was doing or were they upset they felt the way they were delivers the information could be used politically against donald trump? >> what we know speaking to several sources about this briefing is republican lawmakers, i think the correct word for it would be they were exasperated. they were confused abou

the goal is to remove donald trump from office. listen to the candidates. >> absolutely agree the time has come to turn the page on this president and the situation this country is in. >> the way that we beat donald trump is to remember he is the enemy. a country that elected donald trump is already in trouble. >> i will be damned if i'm going to stand by and watch us lose this country to donald trump a second time. >> one thing to watch is how amy klobuchar does. she has the moderate path. she was rising and polls coming into today and i asked what she attributes her surge to and here's what she said. >> the debate was a big deal for me and we are excited about how this is going and we want people to turn out. i put my heart into this and people saw that on the debate stage. >> the surprise story is a tiny little town struggled to get even the minimum requirement of 5 voters to turn out. they go at midnight traditionally for the last 60 salon years. michael bloomberg won three votes, two were democrats, one was the lone republican

into votes for donald trump. every poll, quinnipiac or otherwise, has him in the single digits and that is not going to change. what's driving black support and black donors not giving isn't because they believe they've been taken for granted. we agree with republicans that the democrats to take black people for granted and our money for granted. but the reason the money is being held right now is because the number one priority is beating donald trump, and none of the democratic candidates at this point, given how early it is, no one is convinced as to who that nominee is going to be who is going to get donald trump one-on-one. so you're going to have a lot of money held up. i'm a black donor, i sit on the democratic business council. i haven't given to a democratic presidential candidate yet because ultimately beating donald trump and who is that nominee going to be -- we are way early on this. >> laura: i want to play something that elizabeth warren had said going back to this bloomberg issue, where he does th

and donald trump giving effectively what is campaign speeches for the other, particularly donald trump outlining the successes, the enormous successes, as he would put it, of the modi government over the last ten years or so and expanding access to electricity, highways, lifting 12 people a minute out of poverty and so on for his part, mr. modi saying this was a great deal more than a partnership. it is going to be an abiding and deepening relationship. donald trump adding that he hopes to achieve what he called a good or even great trade deal between the two nations, perhaps starting the beginning of negotiations tomorrow. >> sam kiley live for us following this event. sam, thank you so much. again, president donald trump and the indian prime minister narendra modi. certainly on the podium at this point speaking, talking about this relationship between the two countries. >> yes, enjoying the optics and public relations for sure. thank you for joining us. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm george howell. "early start" is next. let's get down to business. the business of hard work... ...hu

with donald trump. we have been taking him on from the beginning. and i think what that signals to voters, especially voters here in iowa who have noted that beating donald trump is one of the top things on their agenda, something me care most about in electing someone, no one obviously -- vice president biden is the person donald trump is most worried about. from our campaign's perspective, joy, it's important that we aggressively get the facts out there. just as you introduced this segment, you noted that these were salacious lies and conspiracy theories. look, we're not going to play donald trump's game here. we're not going to feed into it. and we're going to beat back these lies every chance we get. but we're also going to run our race, joy, and talk about the issues. >> that doesn't mean that unfortunately the media might not still do deep dives on hunter biden. right? the media played that role in a sense in 2016 of in a way playing into it, right? the clinton kaz was xerlted in the "new york tim

trump values is donald trump. he believes government is one more thing to exploit, a tool to enrich himself and his corrupt buddies at everyone else's expense. i believe government should work for everyone. [cheers] we do not know all the results tonight, but it has showed americans have a deep hunger for big, structural change to make our democracy work for everyone. tonight showed that our path to victory is to fight hard for the changes americans are demanding, changes that democrats, independents and republicans are demanding. tonight showed that our agenda is not just a progressive agenda, it is not just a democratic agenda, it is an american agenda. [cheers] throughout our history, when moments of crisis have called on us to meet big challenges, americans have answered the call. even when the doubters and critics say our dreams are too big and the fights too hard, we persist. [cheers] in the 1700s when people said we could never overthrow a king and form a new republic, farmers and merchants came together an

donald trump wins. and the other party is left standing there blinking at a president who now believes he can do anything he wants in the national interest. so, of course, all of our opponents in the global threat arena, that's north korea, as you said, saudi arabia has a vested interest in keeping donald trump as president of the united states, and they use israeli, american, and other subcontractors to carry out nefarious hacking and intelligence activities. this nation is going to be under attack, cyber-wise, unlike anything we've seen before. not just disinformation. i think we may possibly finally see people put their hands on the thumbs of the scales of american voting machines or tally machines at the state level, wherever they can. and it will be sloppy. it will be so obvious that again there's nothing we're going to be able to do about it because one side will accept the result. >> evan mcmull lin tweeted the party he used to be a party of, the republican party, is willing to do anything to kee

this is what donald trump had to say. he said many mike bloomberg's debate performance was the worst in the history of debates and there have been some bad ones, stumbling, bumbling, grossly incompetent. of this doesn't knock them out of the race nothing will, not easy to do what i did. that i want to bring up someone we just saw in that montage, joe biden because joe biden does need to do well in south carolina, he needed to have a good performance last night which right now if you look at the south carolina polling is coming in at 24.7% above sanders. did he do enough to at least hold steady going into south carolina? >> he did hold steady. he didn't shine but he didn't completely bomb. he had one job to do, stay focused and continued to push his message and not allow amy klobuchar or me or pete to continue to dominate them as moderate candidates so he did a good job being able to maintain it. because klobuchar and mayor pete kept going at each other it benefits joe biden for sure but we have to bear in mind a lot of pe

you are not donald trump. trying to appeal to their sort of better angels. >> >> i wonder if this is a pandora's moment, opening the box and just what's going to be next. is this going to be the new norm? is this being institutionalized, barring corruption and interference in our elections? >> that's the power of bastardized precedent, that the president and allies can say we litigated this in the highest, the highest type of trial you can have and a trial for a high crime, literally, we are good. and not to make light of what the senator was saying, because anyone watching at home would say i heard senator king and not resistance or liberal. he was a lifelong republican and now an independent said we are going to authoritarianism. is trump an aberration or create bigger problems? to quote john mccain's joke, it is always darkest right before it goes completely black. >> midnight in washington. that was my favorite metaphor but i think demmings put her finger on it when she said we are holding police officers

we can thank donald trump. look at what president kennedy did, president reagan did and donald trump is done. when they cut taxes the economy booms. we are seeing that in what is going on in our country. >> you are the founder of the senate pro-life caucus, what should we do on pro-life legislation lawmakers like you return to the capital? >> we come back next week, we have two important votes, the first on the pain capable act. this will ban late-term abortions at 20 weeks or greater. what we call it pain capable? at 20 weeks the baby feels pain. they do in neurosurgery, they administer anesthesia to little babies so you see how radical democrats become, they don't believe in any restrictions on abortion anymore, this will ban late-term abortion. the second vote will be a baby born alive bill. what that says is a baby is born alive following a botched abortion they must protect that baby and keep it alive. is that asking too much? we will theoretical democrats, everybody running for president, supporting impor

one of my friends was pardoned by donald trump. what is best for the black communities when both parties compete for the black vote, that is when you get the best parties. we have no permanent friends or enemies just permanent interests. donald trump makes a strong push for the black community, i hope democrats match them for the best outcomes for the black community. we are waiting around for which party does something. >> one more democratic candidate, pete buttigieg has struggled with plaque voters and according to this new poll 28% of the people polled were comfortable or enthusiastic about mayor pete but 41% had reservations or were uncomfortable. if you are advising mayor pete at this point in the game what can he do at this point? he will meet with the congressional black caucus but what else can he say or do? >> keep in mind he is a marxist. he has values that do not bear well with the black community who have been very conservative in the way we view life, very christian-based, those are things we grew up with and i grew u

president donald trump delivers a self-congratulatory state of the union address the american adventure has only just begun and my fellow americans the best is yet to come. he hailed the economy and his foreign policy achievements but steered clear of impeachment as republicans transit for more years meanwhile democrats sat mainly silent but the speaker of the house didn't need to say a thing to let the president know what she thought of that speech. i'm confident thanks for joining us president donald trump has delivered this year's state of the union address it was a speech celebrating a wide range of the president's policies topped off at times with spectacle reminiscent of his reality t.v. background but the biggest issue not covered in the 8 minute speech impeachment trump opened the speech to congress and the u.s. public by saying he has ushered in an american comeback including a booming economy the president also touted his moves on a range of signature foreign policy issues including trade deals and pressuring nato allies to up defense spending. take a listen now to how that sp

that people to beat donald trump. is economic program is working. his america first national security policy is working. and trump triggers them. i did bill maher last night you go on that crowd just the concept of donald trump ended deplorable. triggers these people that are throwing tomatoes at you. let's listen to a little of steve versus bill maher. roll that. >> we mostly lose because the senator in wyoming represents 290,000 people in senator here represents 20 million. that's mostly why we lose electoral college it is called a republic sir, it is called republic. what i love you about guys you have to about everything match play not melts play. so rules are. >> no you know what rules are and you can't win. best week of that's what i said. i wish we have someone on your side it is evil great to see you. thank you for going. you looked a little depressed there. because look at trump's action they don't know what to do next but i have to tell you don't these people are are going to continue that's why i think lind

the alternative is that donald trump is saying by his actions, look, do whatever it is that donald trump tells you to do including breaking the law. donald trump will then bail out the person. make sure that there is no punishment or that the punishment is light. we have to reestablish rule of law. part of that will be independent investigation. so, everyone understands when you switch from republican to democrat or democrat to republican, everyone is supposed to have been following the law. but the second is that we can't let this moment go unremarked. what the attorney general has done, we should be calling for the resignation of the attorney general. if he won't resign, the attorney general can be impeached. also we should be using the other tools of congress. that is to put budget constraints so that donald trump is not able to have funding to be able to interfere into actions that affect trump, the trump family, trump buddies, trump campaign workers. we can't just sit on our hands. this president will be in control through the november elections. he has indicated that he feels no co

donald trump is abused the powers of the presidency and that using the powers of his office he solicited the that hee interference of the foreign government, ukraine and the united states presidential election. he did so through the schema or course of conduct that included soliciting the government of ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the prospect of a political opponent and influence to 2020 united states presidential election to his advantage. president trump sought to pressure the government of ukraine to take the steps by conditioning the official united states government acts of value on its public announcement of the investigation. president trump engaged in the schema or course of conduct for purposes in pursuit of personal lypolitical benefit. in doing so, president trump usedel the power of the presidey in a manner that compromised national security of the united states and undermined the p integrity of the democratic process. he ignored the interest of the nation and president of trump engaged in the scheme or course of conduct

i am running to defeat donald trump. [applause and cheers] and i am running to restore honor to our government, and build a country that we are proud of, and to start getting things done. [applause] michael: and to start putting the united back in the united states of america. [applause and cheers] michael: now, this is a national emergency. we might not recover from four more years of trump. the stakes couldn't be higher and the way to defeat trump is by appealing to the broadest possible coalition, americans of all backgrounds and parties, to stand shoulder to shoulder. the way to defeat trump is with workable, sensible solutions to our biggest problems. -- challenges. we all know trump is a bully. but i am a new yorker and i know how to deal with bullies. i did it all the time. [applause and cheers] michael: i'm not afraid of trump, and he knows it and he sees our poll numbers and he is scared. that is why he tweets about me all the time. if he didn't care, he wouldn't do it. he knows we have a record and the resource
