A Public Statement about ordering such investigations the member of my staff could hear President Trump on the phone asking ambassador solomon about the investigations as a sonnen told President Trump the ukrainians were ready to move forward following the call with President Trump the member of my staff asked investor solomon what President Trump thought about ukraine as a song responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of biden which giuliani was pressing for misjudgment i mean that testimony is certainly damning for the u. S. President but have we reached that moment where we can say as if as they said in the 1970 s. That there is a cancer on the presidency have we gotten there yet. You know were definitely there is no question about that the question though is whether or not at what point do we get public support on removing trump from office such that youre going to get 66 senators to vote removal thats the question does this is not just a matter of look you know its also a matter of how it effects the u. S. President today said that he was too busy to watch the hearings but his Reelection Campaign we understand has set a Fund Raising Goal of 3000000. 00 over the next 24 hours because of the hearings i mean this is the 1st time in u. S. History that a president faces both impeachment and reelection how important is that do you think well this is exactly Richard Nixon said during the time all these hearings that he didnt watch it in Pay Attention to me its hard to believe and. But sure this is a reality t. V. President who kind of revels in this sort of behavior where he can create lots of conflict and get people all riled up on and use it to make money i mean thats what he doesnt. In 2016 trump said that he would recognize the Election Results if he was declared the winner theyd be remember when he said that. Trumps white house has ignored subpoenas in this impeachment investigation i mean for the 1st time weve got a president who openly shows his disrespect distain or violates the rule of law and he gets support from his party in congress so its highly doubtful that trump would accept a conviction by the senate in this process mr trump trump is not a Richard Nixon who flies away on a helicopter i mean do you agree do you see trump accepting conviction if it were to come. I dont think you have a choice because if theres a conviction it means that the republicans have jumped ship and have turned on him i mean at that point it would be very similar to what happened to Richard Nixon when Barry Goldwater who was really the dean of the Senate Republicans took a delegation from the hill to the white house and basically told Richard Nixon its all over he doesnt have the votes and by the way im one of the senators thats not going to vote for you so thats where it has to be and if theres that kind of support in favor of removal. Truck trample the history at that point but that remains to be seen as it is a former prosecutor today the republicans said that they want to subpoena the whistleblower and they also want hunter biden and joe biden to testify what are your thoughts on that. Both that all those are ridiculous i mean then 1st of all the whistleblower has nothing to add he didnt have firsthand knowledge he was told by other people what happened everything that the whistleblower has said is all to now confirm the corroborated by other witnesses who have come forward including most importantly the transcript of the conversation between President Trump and president zelinsky so thats just a diversion that dividing and hunter biden and stuff is precisely what trump was trying to do it on this trying to somehow create an inference that they did something wrong when there is absolutely no we have it sounds there that either him did everything wrong i mean again this is a typical trump diversion tactic to try and throw whatevers out there in a different direction on somebody else. You signed an open letter along with other watergate prosecutors recently calling for impeachment proceedings against president dropped if trump is impeached but not convicted in the senate and then reelected next year what will that in your opinion mean for were the the health of the u. S. Constitution. Im probably pretty anemic and you make them i dont know i think that would be just a terrible result. But the democrats have no choice with this i mean if this is not an Impeachable Offense its essentially bribery d which is listed in our constitution as a grounds for impeachment i mean this is classic bribery where the president was holding back on nearly 400000000. 00 in military aid to the Ukrainian Government and using that as leverage to get them to open these best a geisha and where trump was holding back a promised visit to the white house and using that as further leverage to have them announce investigations i mean if thats not impeachable and that doesnt result in an impeachment or removal either by the senate or by the voters were in big trouble in this country let me ask for one out of time weve been talking about the role of social media in this impeachment proceeding and the role of fox news of what do you think if Richard Nixon had had twitter and fox news in the early seventys do you think he would have resigned. I think the still had the smoking gun tape that came out at the end where hes. Telling his subordinates im to have the cia call the f. B. I. In tell him to lay off on the watergate investigation because of National Security i mean i think nat basically put the nail in this it towards coffins i mean they just couldnt go forward to the no. Course the problem here is youve got some of these people i mean no matter what he does they dont really cheer which is problematic so it really comes down to the public again is the public going to be moved by this testimony of this evidence thats going to come out over the next few weeks thats 2 critical question here because you cant go ahead with a new teacher in and once youve got the public behind you its the public thats going to move the boat since and we will definitely be watching and measuring public sentiment moving forward mr nick i commend attorney a former Watergate Special province prosecutor mr ackerman as always we appreciate your time in your insights and we hope to talk again pretty soon thank you thank you for having me. Or the American Electric car maker tesla is set to build its 1st european factory on the outskirts of berlin the c. E. O. You are must announce the plan of a ceremony here in the german capital the new gigafactory will produce vehicles power trains and batteries musk says tesla chose germany because of the countrys reputation for having engineering prowess the new plant will be built near berlins new long delayed airport its expected to create around 7 to 10000 jobs and as you might guess germany is pretty happy about the jobs an expanded tax base that the new factory will bring take a listen. Its got been gets more and then over the last months there has been intense competition from various European Countries and the fact that germany has won this award is important good news and then this offers germany the chance to provide new and long term jobs for the future. Germany now gains more International Appreciation as an automotive hub. And 3rd this is a milestone in electro mobility and battery cell production of. The w. s Javier Aguirre does is here from all were business just. Thought when i hear the economics minister say that there were no subsidies involved in this thats hard to believe how would it too good to be true what i mean is it true its probably not really true most of the talks that led to this decision where held behind closed doors there were even secret talks but lets not forget that even if there is no direct negotiation with tesla some subsidies and some incentives will come automatically 1st of the level of the European Union any company that makes bold investments and brings jobs to the e. U. Gets incentives from the European Union then we have the federal level of the federal government of germany even though they might not have to trust subsidies or incentives with tesla the federal government of germany in september announced a big package of measures including heavy incentives for electric mobility that is part of the Climate Change package of the federal government that must have played into the equation as well and last but not least there is the Regional Government of berlin the city that is also a state and the neighboring state of brandenburg where the airport is and where the factory will be located where the airport is supposed is supposed to be and those officials have already said that anyone bringing vestments and jobs to the region will also be supportive that support will look like is probably. To be ok so the subsidies are kind of built into the system as it were you mentioned the European Union so what happened to britain in the competition for this factory was is this is a bricks related decision from mr musk probably yes himself said that britain was simply too risky to build this planned on right now and it is true that britain would have been a logical choice 1st because of course its a close ally of the United States is an American Company there is no language barrier and it is also a big player in the Auto Industry and other companies have made similar decisions to at least hold investments in britain right now were talking about the likes of nissan or dyson that want to produce an electric car so this is a pattern that weve seen in other big players as well yeah i mean you have to think the brits when they must be hearing this news and kicking themselves and what about the car makers here in germany though youve got both swag and youve got dimer tesla is coming right into the middle of that nest how bad it is or how big is the competition going to be for tesla well the competition is already big for tesla tesla as most important achievement perhaps is showing the world that you can build electric cars that you can make it work and that electric cars dont have to be uncomfortable eg you sit in while you drive through the city but they can be big and cool and fast other car makers especially here in germany the luxury car makers the likes of dime there with mercedesbenz or audi portion have listened closely and they are also developing electric cars as we know folks pledged to convert all its models the complete lineup to electric or at least offer electric versions within 4 years so they have something coming out next year as well yes many many models have been either turned electric or are being a producer electric only so that means that they are making bold investments but according to many experts despite that. Tesla is still years ahead in some key technologies because its. Not only about being a lecturer its also about self driven cars in the long run that will play an Important Role in the german carmakers because of german legislation that is or is more difficult are definitely lagging behind in that aspect as well all right so this is definitely then going to be a major win for for germany for building cars for the local economy besides being a catalyst to get this airport finished here in bring this i mean how important is it been for berlin it is extremely important for berlin because if you think of berlin it is a big city it is a start up hotspot if you will but it is not an Industrial City that has to do with the time where germany was split up and berlin was essentially an island within communist germany so industry industry had to go away thats why german car makers are not here they are in southern germany and they are in western germany berlin is definitely not a Natural Choice because of that so it is very important as a sign that berlin can again become an industrial hotspot in germany that being said the city the local government the local government of brandenburg are now inexperienced when it comes to hosting a company in a factory like this yeah thats a good point you make i was also reading today a commentary that said you know if you look at help things have gone with trying to open this new airport then mr musk is you know he may run into some serious Serious Problems in dealing with the locals that said lets talk a little bit about iran musk he is known for having the midas touch hes known for alpha male behavior and decisions is he going to fit in here in germany i would dare to say he might fit in and berlin perhaps but not necessarily in brandenburg not necessarily in the rural areas that are will be crucial as well. His mentality in general is definitely not german especially when it comes to. Regulations when it comes to permissions bureaucracy many foreigners have big problems with those aspects are in germany and that delays production wants to go fast he has to move fast because the competition is moving fast so it will definitely be a problem for illinois to move as fast as he wants to and have this factory ready within 2 years or less than 21. 00 right will see the challenge but hes known for challenges which he likes well see if you can keep his word on that savvy as always thank you.
