group the other day, said we voted for obama, then we voted for trump, and we are sticking with trump because we believe in what he has done for us. the president is leaving no vote unturned. why is he in michigan tonight? a critical state for him. battle creek, this is where justin amash, the congressman that was a republican now independent. the one that voted yea for impeachment, the president is going to go right into their face and so what i was saying earlier that i think that impeachment will fuel a lot of debate in 2020, i think that brit hume is absolutely right. i think the democrats might want to drop it. i don t think so president trump will. and i don t think that his voters are going to forget it, either. and don t forget, the democrats could do this again. they could go back to the well on impeachment over and over again if they thought it was worth their while before 2020. tucker: trump ascends six points in the poll in the week in the middle of impeachment, that s no
bipartisan and certainly not compelling or overwhelming. you hit on it. you got two articles of impeachment that aren t even mentioned in the constitution as a basis for impeaching this president. and it s a sad day for democracy in america. tucker: it s also kind of weird since, i mean, there are an awful lot of republicans on capitol hill who don t like the president and certainly, unfortunately, a lot of them who work ceaselessly to undermine his agenda. so, why couldn t democrats peel away like ten of them? and you have got three republicans that sit in districts that hillary clinton won. even they stood by the facts and evidence that there wasn t an impeachable offense that occurred from the president of the united states. tucker: huh! so, what s the effect, and this just happened, so it s a lot to ask the question this broad. what s the effect on the country of this? well, i think it s going to be a sad day for the country after today because now every congress, whoever i
this, on the very day that the vote was going to be held. i think because it hasn t moved people captured people s imagination. you know, you heard all this rhetoric today on the floor. i m sure you heard and the founding fathers got a complete workout, sacred sacred honor and discussed. some of this quite eloquent. the problem is that the matter under consideration didn t match the rhetoric. i mean, we are talking about the temporary withholding of aid that was ultimately provided in exchange for an investigation that wasn t conducted. and while it was, i think, improper for the president to raise joe biden s name in that now famous conversation, it really didn t go anywhere. and people look at it and they just kind of, you know, not interested. and, of course, impeachment, i think most people think of it as that most drastic available measure to be taken into the event of emergency. we are hearing, tucker, throughout the day how our national security was compromised. really?
no one is above the law. no one is above the law. the president is not above the law. see, because no one is above the law. no one is above the law. i remind the world that in america no one is above the law. tucker: and oh with that nancy pelosi gavels in and we are seeing this in realtime live right now 8:35 p.m. the first count of impeachment is official. the democrats are happy about that. we re going to give you the vote tally. right now we are going to dip in. here it is. there you go. the first article of impeachment is in. it s official.
