sources say they still talk regularly, they talk on the phone quite often. none of this has deterred the president this is happening. as this vote this morning took place there in the committee, sending those articles of impeachment to the house floor, wolf. i understand the president at the top of the hour has a scheduled meeting with the visiting, i guess, with the visiting president of paraguay. will there be open coverage, at least some sort of photo op at the top where we might hear the president of the united states react to these two articles of impeachment? reporter: we certainly hope so. we certainly hope to be able to get some reaction from him. because so far, since the vote has happened, the president hasn t weighed in on it. he s only been tweeting about phase i of the china trade deal being reached. he s clearly not been reacting directly to it. i can tell you in talking to white house officials, there s been a lot of discussion behind the scenes here of what the pres
problems. it s going to be a win. not as big as an agreement with china would be. but a significant one. reporter: usmca won t solve all of her hardships on the farm, but it gives her hope there s an end in sight. which we have been talking about for over a year, seeing it move forward certainly paves the way, so to speak, for us to say okay let s move onto the next step. let s see if we can take this and replicate it with china. reporter: now, it looks like the house is going to be taking up usmca next week, but the senate is probably going to have to push this off into 2020 and that s because of impeachment, guys. i spent a lot of time with farmers and they are for stoic people. this is about excited you re going to get from them right now. another reason they re holding back a little bit is they ve been burned before. especially on this china deal. the back and forth. and the big thing is if the president and congress can push usmca through next year and this china trade dea
democrats can lose 17 members. what that means when you have 31 democrats who represent districts which president trump won in 2016, you have to have about 14 democrats who represent those districts who are willing to vote to impeach. that s why it has to be narrow. it will be a tough vote. this is a career vote, julie, for these members of congress. julie: chad pergram on capitol hill. thank you so much. bill: don t go far. back next hour. more breaking news. getting word from the white house about a possible deal between china and the u.s. what the president is saying moments ago. also he is expected to talk in the next hour. that s in the 11:00 a.m. eastern time hour. we re watching these developments and bring them to you. come back after this quick three-minute break. zicam is completely different. unlike most other cold medicines, zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. i am a zifan for zicam! oral or nasal.
president trump cooperated with the russians to skew the 2016 election. turns out after two years and a lot of investigation it wasn t true. he is the same adam schiff who stood up before the public and said we didn t meet with the whistleblower before that complaint was filed. turns out that was a lie as well. then he issued his big report and it is filled with nothing but hearsay and innuendo and that s the real problem with this thing. if we would have had an open inquiry, i think america would have been more interested. but it s been kind of baked in, been a kangaroo court and he started it off basically in a classified room. so bill: i want to move one more thing here. after the house you got the senate in january. mitch mcconnell made it pretty clear with sean hannity last night it will be a short deal in the senate in all likelihood. here is what he said on that. the case is so darn weak coming over from the house. we all know how it is going to
