the end of year. congressman houlihan, i know a lot of democrats were hang wringing about president biden and his re-election campaign. that s a pretty great number, more than trump or desantis combined. it is less than trump was able to raise at this point four years ago from the white house. is this going to stop the hand-wringing, do you think? i absolutely think it does. i think that $72 million is a pretty stunning number in comparison. i think it s more than all the other republican candidates combined, as i recall. i think that s a very, very good sign for the vibrance and health of the campaign. sarah mathews, take a look at these headlines, some bad es for governor desantis. desantis campaign sheds staff among cash crunch. desantis fund-raising slowed after initial campaign launch. filing shows that he should be worried here at all? he s letting go of staff this early is not nothing. definitely not a good sign, but he did manage to outraise trump and he raised over $
and of course family and medical leave is not just a woman s issue but it is a family issue as well. so this is something that i think its time has come. if you re building an entire economy that s inclusive of everyone, you need to make sure you re including 51% of the population, which are our population of women. i m hopeful we have the opportunity to catch lightning in a bottle right now and make this a reality. congressman houlihan, thank you so much for your time tonight. next, wild weather before our very eyes. the result of a changing climate. two women working to address the leadership crisis they say caused it. they re here next. hey google, turn up the heat.
congresswoman chrissy houlihan and gil cisneros join me now. thank you for being here. representative houlihan, let me start with you, what was your reaction when you read the actual transcript, and do you have any regrets about going forward with your decision in your editorial that you felt this is impeachable before you had actually seen it to actually would encourage every american to read the released notes on the conversation, because it s very short, only about three and a half pages, which represents a 20 minute conversation and what it would say is our editorial that we put together as a team of seven people who have served in the military and otherwise before, we didn t call for impeachment, we called for looking into this and finding out the truth, and i m grateful that we have the very first step of that with the release of these notes from this conversation and i really would encourage every person to read it. it s not 400 something pages long. martha: it s an easy rea
starting an inquiry, about getting to the bottom of this. martha: nancy pelosi said yesterday were opening an official inquiry, was her words. i think a lot of people want to know, congressman houlihan, why not vote on it if there is such a strong feeling about this? so i think it s important for people to understand and senator graham is sort of model the conversation. there s a difference between an impeachment investigation and articles of impeachment and i am happy, would welcome the opportunity when and if that grave situation comes up and i would not look forward to that to take a vote, a personal vote on the floor of articles of impeachment, but first we need to understand what, if anything, happened and i think that we take our oath of office very, very seriously as members of service and congresspeople. this is a great, great information that, if true, we really need to get to the bottom of. martha: this is tulsi gabbard today on television, one of your colleagues, also
evening and we expect that it will come out, so we will see that when it is forthcoming. great to have both of you with us tonight, members of congress houlihan and cisneros, thank you very much for being here. thank you for being there. martha: here now with more tonight, doug collins, top republican on the house judiciary committee, good to have you with us tonight congressman collins. your thoughts on all of this today having listened to this so far? i think the last 3 minutes summed it all up, they really don t know what they re doing. this is the problem we re having. you made it very clear the speaker came out and said she starting an impeachment inquiry. if senator graham that back with the clinton and the nixon task. an inquiry actually requires a vote. what they re trying to avoid here is actually going on the record. investigation how many more investigations do we need to do? have they not looked at the judiciary committee for the last nine months? this is all we a
