A very little time talking about the issues associated with the impeachment and all the messaging all the planning all of the coordination between the various components of the white house and our friends on the hill were coordinated so the idea of someone just having a good idea and going out and saying get over it that never would have happened john you think this was a mistake it was horrific it was a it was a stupid mistake because it turned trumped from the victim to the to the aggressor as well that that made no sense when i was there he said that i just shook my head and then they came out with with shirts and like you say with a wig on the o. And up to that point trump was being positioned as the victim this is what shot this is fake news i didnt do anything it was a perfect all and then its well you get over it get over what the fact that he didnt do anything recent thing to get over so it gore pulled the message until get back and the performance by mulvaney then. He. By then going on i think Chris WallaceFox News Sunday which was a very painful 15 or 20 minutes if you have to sit there through it til they till they take this seriously because right now its fake news which now its a lynching ok i take this seriously theyre going to theyre going to continue to lose public support if you look at the polling out margaret in the last several weeks youve got now 53 polls saying that 50 percent of americans want to peach and removed from office that tells you right there that one of those polls was. Last month and the other was fox this is not like c. N. N. Fake polls these are real with real metrics behind it right so theyre losing public support they better get their act together i mean because theres going to be a trial in the senate in thanksgiving in november and its real it mark as i mean as both of us said support theres a but theres a new 538. 00 poll thats out that shows 49. 3 percent there also in the board poll we have it up now for folks to see 43 percent dont support theres actually a c. N. N. Poll that just came out this morning that shows over 50 percent for the 1st time both in favor of impeachment but also removal but margaret i mean this is a tale of 2 worlds in a sense that of that in that 50 percent 87 percent of democrats support impeachment or removal and 6 percent of republicans do and i come back to that initial question i pointed out is this a divorce happening inside the country thats going to happen any any way or is there a way to get through this process get over it if you will and get people back on the same turf again well theres already been a divorce if you have 13000 lies out there and they dont believe that there are any lies out there there its just too discord. Bent groups in the country that one cannot see what the other is seeing now in impeachment i dont think its a problem of the message because in this case you have the facts and the law you can you know if you dont have the facts argue the law well in this case the facts do support impeachment and so does the law but in coming up with those article what would constitute impeachment it isnt you know up in the air it was all of the discussion was about how do you control. Because thats what the the Founding Fathers were worried about trump behaves like a king and a lot of it was had to do with when a abuse of power against a foreign country and we have that in so many of the things trump is done and certainly in ukraine and although its not yet a focus of democrats did just willy nilly abandoning kurdish. Leaders i got to say what is it with ukraine a lot of our lives there is a political element if you dont like it if you dont like his position right ukraine and getting us out of these never ending wars which you promised you would do on the campaign that was a staple of his Campaign Message to get us out then vote him out in 2020 you dont have peachey him because you dont like his policies now your overall good idea very quickly theyre just going to iraq so hes got to do a little sigh theyre just going to few miles over a border which is a squishy border anyway but by the right my bigger point is ukraine i mean how i mean look at ukraine our friend colleagues just come out of a mess with ukraine we have paul metaphor for grain we have 100 biden on a on a company perhaps legally perhaps you know suspiciously on a on a company and you get what is it with ukraine and why when ukraine has now been something that Rudy Giuliani has been tied into why have the republicans had it in support of the president turning a blind eye to that why did why did they not see the request of the president of ukraine to investigate the biden the. As you know a disconcerting even a legal issue because the whole Democratic Party malfeasance and investigating trump started in ukraine margaret knows it greg knows how you can sit there and spin and thats where it started thats where they tried to dig up dirt on trump thats where they hire g. P. S. Thats where they got steel involved the dossier the whole but says it all started there so the country is corrupt from the beginning they started that theyre now were tracing it back as far as a bike thing is concerned i mean margaret. How do you get on the board of directors of a company thats an oil company thats owned by the country when you have no experience in oil no experience in gas never been in the region never been to ukraine dont know the competition and you get 50000. 00 a month and your father is over there as Vice President negotiating deals how do you do that so we had one pain manager is going to argue nepotism is wrong right given that children. You know what does it have to do with they get paid a dollar a year what on earth does that have to do with going on that we can get away with greater its going to be caught up in the licenses im going to stipulate to i the facts but i and my lawyer facts are getting late to them but i think the bigger question is does gravity work differently depending on where you sit. Well can i just comment on the on the polls because i think one of the lessons that we got from the clinton experience and i think john will agree with this is that it is possible to impeach a president when the country is divided it is not possible to remove a president when the country is divided you half that has to be something that most americans support or its not going to happen its got to be a bipartisan effort if the President Trump is going to be removed serious republicans have to support the process otherwise it will not happen then i think its just a fact of the political situation now if i were in your shoes i would be a little worried about what senator Lindsey Graham is saying about this ukraine situation because he said he would be troubled if it was proven that President Trump ordered the withholding of military assistance to the ukrainians in exchange for the opening up of investigation of the buttons that would trouble Lindsey Graham that sent a signal that he thought that that might be an Impeachable Offense an abuse of president ial power so if i were in your shoes id be concerned about exactly what anybody get on top of that with Lindsey Graham when Lindsey Graham really clicked in because Lindsey Graham has said that if there are crimes beyond the call and then he began talking about betraying the kurds in syria and he hasnt to my knowledge mentioned the darrelle trump resort but john you did is are these issues of the decisions the president made beginning to move the needle the propriety of whats acceptable behavior with with some of the folks that you know so well or it gives mcconnell leverage when trump is exonerated in the senate or not convicted or whatever you want to phrase it in the reality acquitted in reality the republicans the democrats are going to need 20 republican votes in the senate right. Its not a. Conceivable that theyre going to get there in a divided country but what is conceivable is that the mcconnell republicans gain an inordinate amount of leverage over President Trump in the last 18 months of his term before he gets real reelected which i think he will in 2020 and basically a lot of their votes to acquit him become conditional on something right thats what thats what most are needed but connell just wrote a fiery op ed i want to know most from from the trauma base right which is a true believer in the america 1st agenda so im a true believer so im more concerned about the advancement of our philosophy and agenda Going Forward than i am about any short term political process so thats the leverage that mcconnell has mcconnell could end up calling the shots between january 2020 in the end of that term if trump gets reelected that on his own all bets are off who was very good margaret let me just say dont forget let me put it but one thing to you when you were when you were running things for bill clinton did you go after and harass and bully defecting democrats no. We had not you personally but did the team go after well because what we see happening right down with donald trump versus mitt romney is pretty dramatic. We had we had problems i think with defecting democrats in the house of representatives in the early stages but the way in which the House Republicans managed the impeachment process in the house was so partisan that it drove all the democrats back it wasnt they like clinton that much it was that they couldnt stand tom de lay or Newt Gingrich but let me just point something out i think that is an interesting the 2 the 2 leaders in the United States senate both participated in the clinton pietschmann process Chuck Schumer was in the house of representatives when the hearings were conducted and when the votes occurred in december 1998 he was then elected to the senate and participated in the trial in the Senate Mcconnell was in the senate during 1998 both of those individuals know what the trial is likely to look at look like is it going to have live witnesses is it going to have videotaped depositions how long as it could take i hear that mcconnell has told his caucus get ready for a 6 week trial lets do snap shot were just the last couple of minutes margaret as you look at whats going to unfold how do you predict. Say President Trumps chances of not getting impeached. You know its a given and so discounted that the senate will not a vehicle to convict him. So it is that part really doesnt matter i mean theres no drama theres no drama involved and i mean thats too bad because the senate has the republicans in the senate have shown themselves to be completely spineless against this president they came here not to do a job they came here to stay in perpetuity theyre so afraid of losing an election so hows it turn out if it turns out that he runs for reelection but i think deeply wounded deeply because people see an administration thats entirely chaotic without basically a cabinet that Cabinet Meeting that trump had yesterday had abs conducted absolutely not one piece of the countrys business it was all about that phony im arguments clause it was just one thing after another i mean he i dont know how many articles of the constitution the president is willing to do away with so that governing is not taking the constitutionalists out there in the country or are having a fit but john how do you see just a quick a quick survey of how you see this unfolding i think will be a peach in the house will be too tight articles of impeachment that will pass palosi who is probably the most masterful speaker in history and by the way thats where theres no nickname for her were afraid of or shes very good and shes running this thing with believe a great precision i was going to get a ph and then he would be acquitted in the senate theres going to be a trial theyre going to bring theyre going to bring other witnesses in lots of drama lots of drama trouble use it and get reelected again and final word its going to be interesting to see what the speaker does between 0 and thanksgiving i agree that its going to end up with an impeachment maybe 2. 3 articles but she has a challenge about trying to educate the American Public so shes going to have to have some public hearings and how is she going to organize though those hearings who is she going to how is she going to present the case to the American People about it and can i go with that no weve got a were out of time id like to thank you all for being with us Margaret Carlson columnist for the daily beast and 1st female columnist for Time MagazineJohn Fredericks chairman of trump for President Campaign for the state of virginia 2016 and advisor to the trump 2020 campaign and host of the John Fredericks radio show and Gregory Craig the former lead defense attorney for president bill clinton during his impeachment in 1988 and former white House Counsel under president obama thank you all very much for being here sorry to cut you off margaret sorry sorry thank you. So whats the bottom line some see the start of an impeachment process as conviction of President Trump in and of itself others see it as a frivolous political act by desperate democrats who cannot truly succeed in removing him from office they see it as i dont shakespeare might say sound and fury signifying nothing the bottom line is that impeachment is always political allies are going soft not because of the alleged crime of telling ukraines president to investigate his political rival but because he also tried to host a big global event the g 7 at a trump resort and also because he had banded americas kurdish allies to turkey america is deeply and internally divided and this shakespearean drama is going to be playing out for a very long time and thats just the way it is see you next week.

This area that President Trump calls long blood stained sun is about the 800 kilometer long border between syria and turkey more than half a 1000000 people have been killed in the last 2 years and the situation on the ground remains precarious on weve been hearing about 2 incidents which involved bombings and explosions in the kurdish held parts and the russians of warns that warned the kurds to make use of these 150. 00 i will do vacate these areas 30 kilometers deep inside syrian territory or face the turkish advance as the turks have agreed with the russians that they will be coming and 10 kilometers deep into syrian territory all of this is happening while the Syrian Government is also taking an active role for the 1st time in 8 years along this border area Syrian Government with the russians is going to be moving in to try and vacate areas from beach to commission the and make sure that these areas according to its agreement with the turks are clear off kurdish fighters it is interesting to see the Syrian Democratic forces coming out for the 1st response after this deal gentleman has spoken to the u.

Now the south korean Prime Minister and his japanese counterpart have met in tokyo as a time of heightened tension south Korean News AgencyYonhap Reports that. They have agreed that fraying bilateral ties need to be mended the meeting between the pair represents the highest level talks since tokyo curbed imports from south korea this year that was in response to seouls dumonds the compensation from japan for wartime forced labor correspondent robert bride is live for us now in seoul rob how is this visit being seen over there and is it significant that Prime Minister was sent rather than president reagan i believe he is a fluent japanese speaker. Thats right and yes certainly an opportune time using lees presence in japan he was there attending the and thrown at this week of japans emperor but as you mentioned there he is a fluent japanese speaker is a former newspaper journalist who was based in tokyo has very good connections with many in political circles in japan and in fact knows shinzo are both so it was said to be a good meeting or went on for 20 minutes instead of the scheduled 10 minutes as you mentioned there the 2 Prime Ministers have agreed that they should try to repair by the lateral ties more importantly perhaps lee was carrying with him a letter from prior the president of south korea to shinzo are they talking about japans importance as a partner in maintaining Regional Peace and so there does seem to be an attempt here to build bridges and it remains to be seen whether there will now be whether this paves the way for a meeting between mungy and of south korea and shinzo are they and the date that everybody is looking ahead towards on their diplomatic war planners is the middle of next month there will be an important gathering of asia pacific leaders a socalled apec summit happening in chile which to which both they and moon will be attending and there is an awful lot of speculation here in seoul and also in tokyo that possibility that could be a meeting on the sidelines of that to try to resolve this. Rob talk us through the timing of this because both countries economies have been struggling is that why were seeing this meeting now. You do get a sense despite the very strong feelings in japan and also here in south korea that an awful lot of people in diplomatic circles and certainly in business want to put this trade dispute behind them this all started briefly few months ago with a court ruling against Japanese Companies for using south korean slave labor during world war 2 that quickly escalated into a diplomatic spat and then as you mentioned there have been these trade sanctions with japan withholding very important key components and Raw Materials that south korea needs for its high tech manufacturing and more importantly perhaps especially as the United States is concerned watching this from the sidelines with this spat between its 2 very important regional allies they have suspended an intelligence sharing agreement between the 2 that was meant to counter the threat from north korea so an awful lot of spillover d from this and an awful lot of people both here in seoul in tokyo and in washington that would like to see this resolved our correspondent rather right thank you for that drug.
