good evening. we begin with the very real possibility house republicans tomorrow will do something that has not been done for a hundred years. it s possible perhaps even likely that when the chamber s very first piece of business comes up choosing the next speaker, something necessary for anything else to proceed, they will fail to get the required number of votes to make former minority leader kevin mccarthy nancy pelosi s successor as speaker. and beyond the drama of the history that could be made tomorrow if the first vote fails and it goes to another and then as many as it takes there is the irony. mccarthy who wants to succeed floesa woman widely acknowledged to be one of the most successful legislative head counters and arm twisters of all time is still trying with just hours to go to count enough heads and twist enough arms. do you have the votes tomorrow? i think we have a good day tomorrow. that remains to be seen. just ask a fellow republican. i won t be vot
love basketball, but you notice very little about it. thanks for joining us. krnk thi cnn this morning oig starts right now. . good morning, everyone, glad you re with us. big debate last night. lots of headlines to get to on thursday, november 9th. the third republican debate, critical issues and foreign policy, abortion rights, did it make a difference with about two months until the iowa caucuses. former president donald trump skipped the debate for a third time, rallying just down the road, taking on his gop rivals and president biden. we are back in action, the hollywood actor s strike is finally over after four months on the picket line. just in this morning, new video from iranian-backed houthi rebels showing them shooting down an american drone. this happened off the coast of yemen. the u.s. struck back launching an air strike on a weapons facility warehouse in syria. the new york attorney general s office rests its case against donald trump and its family busin
Somebody really caught in the middle of it, and that doesnt excuse the person from the consequences. Professors, weve talked about abuse of power and bribery. When we started, we said we would also discuss Obstruction Of Congress. So id like to ask you some questions about Obstruction Of Congress. Professor gerhardt, in your view, is there enough evidence here to charge President Trump with the high crime and misdemeanor of Obstruction Of Congress . I think theres more than enough. As i mention in my statement, just to really underscore this, the third article of impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee against president nixon charged him with misconduct because he failed to comply with four legislative subpoenas. Here it is far more than four that this president has failed to comply with and hes ordered
the Executive Branch as well not to cooperate the congress. Those together with a lot of other evidence suggests Obstruction Of Congress. Professor karlan, do you agree .
the fact that tpp was blown up because that was something that would have strengthened pacific alliances vis-a-vis china. you re absolutely right and what s even crazier is not only was it blown up, but because the trump administration pulled out of it, you had the chinese get into it, which is absolutely insane and we would be in a much stronger position if we had a trade alliance with our allies in east asia. will hurd, congressman, thank you for being with us. best of luck. thank you. sara? just ahead with great reluctance the court has no choice in this matter but to grant the motion for a mistrial. [ bleep ]. shock and outrage in the court, emotions running really high in a mississippi courtroom after a judge declares a mistrial in an attempted murder case. what the victim a black fedex
have is high flavor ability. kate, i feel like we need to which is ter. as you know, as a veteran of campaign events, that is the hardest of reporting jobs, is to whisper report when people are so closely behind you. she did an amazing job. eva did a great job. please talk louder. another candidate on the trail today, i think, speaking in full voice is former congressman will hurd. he will speak with voters at the iowa state fair. congressman hurd joins you now. nice to see you. i saw you celebrating yesterday that you had reached the 40,000 donor threshold which you need to cross to get in next week s first republican presidential debate. you are not yet, i believe, at the polling threshold, the latest fox news national poll has you, you know, not even at 1%, which is frankly no change since june. so how do you get to 1% in three polls by next week? sure. well, john, thanks for having me on and i won t whisper.
