top and not to working families, and protect against corruption. and yes, advance on transportation, prescription drugs, background checks where we can, but it s going to be the 2020 field that s really going to put forward what, you know, a democratic priority will be, if we have the house and the senate in 2021. house democrat introduced articles of impeachment today. is that a smart move, in your opinion, or is it counterproductive at this point? it s not a move that i support. this president, anderson, may be impeached. but we re certainly not there with the evidence. we re going to, you know, look where republicans were unwilling to look before and build an air-tight case, if that s what s necessary, seek bipartisan buy-in and make sure that if we go that way, the american people understand why. but we should not be as reckless with the facts as donald trump is, and we should give him probably a fairer investigation than he deserves. the upcoming vote in the committee to sen
there s no way that he would have done any of this. you mean, that s simply not how american intelligence works in moscow or other places. although, they will paint a very compelling picture, because the russians are excellent at doing this. so, they ve just arrested this guy. it could be anybody, it could be you, it could be me. i would not advise any friends or family to go to russia at this point, because it doesn t matter if you re delivering papers for a living or you work for a company, you could be snatched up and used in whatever political ploy that vladimir putin wants to do. it s such a scary idea that you hire a russian attorney and you say, because he lives in russia, he s not really representing his client. matthew, now that whelan has been formally charged, any idea when his case might go to court or, to steve s point, could this be handled in some other way, you know, based on higher levels of government intervention? reporter: well, i think it s absolutely right to
with kellyanne conway today. what was with the poster on the table? that s just the president, sanctions are coming. i think the president is speaking for 95 minutes shows his transparency. and shows and he s always willing to have the press in the room. i talked to him last night after the situation room. he s willing to invite them all back. and perhaps let the cameras in. they can decide that. that didn t really clear it up. she continued to speak for 1:04 talking about transparency and how much time the president spends in the cabinet room and mitt romney, welcoming solutions. everything but the poster. we re going to pick up the stream of consciousness at the point where the fox and friends friends tried to get an answer. they need border security, they need more people at the border, steel slats, they need a wall. any number of measures. the poster just happened to be there, was it a message? i mean it was a message.
point is, you need to wait for the investigation. and if we get to a point where you have a president who has been indicted, for example, then yes, you should start looking at possibly impeaching him. but i don t think based on what they have in front of them at this point, that there are any impeachable offenses that, at least, you know, as far as the average american will look at it, would feel it would be appropriate to be doing. and njerry hadder will, the chairman of the judiciary committee, they are so aware of the precedent of 1998, when the house republicans rushed ahead with impeachment, knowing there would never be 67 votes in the senate to remove president clinton. they re not going to do that again. they re not going to make that mistake. so we can a lot of republicans will say, though, the drumbeat, the pressure is just going to build. and whether or not they right now think they re going to do it, they re going to get led into doing it. that s not true. that s jus
that black lives matter and that we need to actually treat black lives with the same reverence that we treat white lives. but you just can t wipe away all of the things that are said and written and done at these marches as, you know, as a fringe element. but it is a fringe element. anymore than you would wipe those away from a group of whites doing the same thing. look, the reality is, setting aside that issue, that republicans have an obligation and work to do when it comes to communicating, you re right, not just the policy, but the fact that we are concerned about these things and we talk about these things and we want to bring people in and engage in those discussions. so you re right on that front. do you think that president trump should bend on the wall in these shutdown negotiations? because some senators like lindsey graham are advising him not to bend, because if he did, it would be the beginning of the end of his presidency. look, if there was a substantive reason
