Hi, everyone. Its 4 00 in new york. Were watching live coverage of the u. S. Senate where theyre expected to vote on the two articles of impeachment but not without drama. This surprising announcement, an emotional floor speech from mitt romney about his decision he wrestled with to vote to convict donald trump on both counts. Senator mansion expected to also vote to convict. Both yes votes for conviction. Comes on the heels of doug jones, who was also in the eyes and hopes of the white house, someone they thought might join republicans and vote not to convict. So a solemn day in washington but when where the history books will record members of both parties in the United States senate voted today to convict donald j. Trump for abusing his offices and obstruction of congress. Rare emotion from senator schumer, who concluded his remarks as minority leader and gave way to the majority leader who had a criticism on attack of instugzs . We talked about this in the last hour. There was an o
Good morning, everyone, its sunday, january 20th, im alisyn camerota. Here is whats happening at this hour, final precipitations underway as the nation gears up for the two day inaugural event and kicked off last night with a starstudded ball. Were live from d. C. With what you can expect. Look at that, katy perry is in our open. And the gun fight in washington it it be far from over, and why some are saying the president s gun proposal will not pass a lot of democrats feel the same way. When mitt romney said jeeps would be produced in china, the media called it the lie of the year. Guess what . Its going to be made in china. Yep, jeeps are made in china. Who is lying now, i ask . Whose hand was that. Youll find out when fox friends starts now. So no, no, jack, go back. Put your camera back where it was, there you go. Now, watch this, camera four, how close that is. Alisyn its up in your grill . Like somebody is in my face, like im a close talker. And brian, the older i get, the closer
As yeats put it, because i had to. To quote an irish poet, think where a mans glory most begins and ends. And say my glory was i had such friends. Away from the camera, jill and michelle have each others backs just as much as when theyre out championing our troops. Our girls are close, best friends at school, inviting each other for vacations and sleepovers. Even though our terms are nearly over, one of the greatest gifts of these past eight years is that were forever bonds as a family. But of course i know that the obamas are not the only ones who feel like theyre part of the biden clan. Because joes heart has radiated around this room. You see it in the enduring friendships hes forged with folks of every stripe and background on capitol hill. You see it in the way that his eyes light up when he finds somebody in a rope line from scranton, or just the tiniest fan from delaware. You see it in the incredible loyalty of his staff, the team who knows that family always comes before work,
Given to President Trump. Just keep doing your job, just take to the things that are at hand. Do what bill clinton did. Compartmentalize your impeachment and keep moving forward. And of course, President Trump does a lot of tweeting. His feelings are very widely known. And i think this is one of the most fascinating things about covering the trump presidency, the actions speak a lot louder than the words, and in this ca case, the business at hand has marched on in no way that a lot of people didnt anticipate. These are big things. So china deal is a big deal. This puts us back in the clinton era when nafta was first put into play. Now you have the recreation of this deal. President trump out from the beginning that he wanted to do oneonone trade negotiations with all of the countries that we do business with, and these are two really big examples of that playing out. Bret just looking back at the beginning of this effort to kind of restructure the world trade with the u. S. , republica
Minority be given subpoena power and the white House Counsel be in the room. And at least have a vote on the house floor to move forward with this so it defies democracy. We are Going Forward in the most secret room in the capitol. And all adam schiff is doing right now is building a secret record in his scif, in a onesided process to move forward towards impeachment. I think its a very unfair process. Jason right now Speaker Pelosi is refusing to hold a vote on the ongoing socalled inquiry. But, lets be clear, there have already been three votes on impeachment and they all failed miserably. The first two came up during a Republican Controlled Congress but were resoundingly defeated in a bipartisan vote. The third took place just three months ago during a democratic majority that measure also failed. With a whopping 137 democrats voting against it. Its no wonder Speaker Pelosi is reluctant to hold a fourth vote. And get this, because the house has already voted against an impeachment p
