i ve been maintaining. the weight is gone and it s never coming back. with golo, i ve not only kept off the weight but i m happier, i m healthier, and i have a new lease on life. golo is the only thing that will let you lose weight and keep it off. who loses 138 pounds in nine months? i did! golo s a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. (soft music) (air whooshing) (phone ringing) (sighs) jamie raskin: hmmm flynn: hi, congressman. jamie raskin: forgive me, i have had an insane day- flynn: no, no worries at all. jamie raskin: i m sorry. flynn: i appreciated that you even found the time to chat,
jamie raskin: all right. man: thank you for your work. woman: i haven t emailed your office lately, but i m sure i will. (both laughing) woman: whenever i get angry, i just fire something off. jamie raskin: we have a system of checks and balances here, and you don t hold the federal workforce and the people of the country hostage in order to get your way in a policy debate. he wasn t able to get the mexican government to pay for his wall. he wasn t able to get congress to do it, even when he controlled the house and the senate with republican control over the last two years. now, suddenly, the democrats take over the house. we won 40 seats and he decides to shut the government down. it s just an unacceptable way to do business in a democracy. (keyboard typing)
remember that. it s the only way we re gonna lose this election, so we have to be very careful. jamie raskin: my friends, we ve got some hard days ahead of us, don t we? we really do. we got some hard days ahead of us, but we are battle tested and we are ready. we are preparing for an epic landslide victory for democracy in 45 days. get ready for it! (crowd applauding) we don t have, believe it or not, a constitutional right to vote in america. it s just the power of state legislatures to appoint electors. and the republican party, which is a minority party, in a shrinking minority party, is using every lever of political power they have to try to thwart the majority. this is why the struggle for voting rights is so essential. we need everybody s vote, we need everybody s voice to count.
(papers rattling) i was glad i was able to get voltaire in there yesterday. you know, anybody who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. tabitha raskin: oh, yeah. jamie raskin: and i believe that. well, if you had to pick one aphorism to characterize the trump administration, it would probably be that one, you know, because it was just inevitable where it was gonna go. tabitha raskin: yeah. jamie raskin: and the guy had his inauguration and started talking about american carnage. it was just a projection of his career, his destiny. it looks good. you want some cinnamon? tabitha raskin: yeah, i need cinnamon. i need- jamie raskin: i ll find you some cinnamon. jamie raskin: when officer hodges was, you know, caught in the door and he was just howling, it was like torture, i did see mitch crying and kind of wiping away tears. tabitha raskin: here s the cinnamon jamie raskin: but the republicans, man, they re a tough nut to crack, let me tell ya. you know, people
reporter: president trump is now the fourth president in u.s. history to have articles of impeachment drawn up against him. jamie raskin: good morning. it is my solemn responsibility this morning to present for your consideration house resolution 755, concerning the impeachment of donald john trump, president of the united states. the investigating committees conducted 100 hours of deposition testimony with 17 sworn witnesses, and the judiciary committee is now in possession of overwhelming evidence that the president of the united states has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. impeachment is like an indictment. when the house votes to impeach, it s acting like a grand jury, and it s essentially saying we believe that there have been these crimes. president trump has abused the awesome powers of the presidency by using his office to corruptly demand that a foreign government interfere in our american presidential election
