So theyre scrambling. Theyre trying to figure this out as well, chuck. No indication as to whether the president has been briefed on this. Hes about to hold an event with sheriffs. In fact im told he just entered and so well try to get more questions to him about all of this. But this is unprecedented, as you say, the fact we have someone inside sounding the alarm like that. Thats what it is, someone sounding the alarm. The call is coming from inside the house. By the way, i should make a point, no Press Briefing today, no Press Briefing yesterday. How many are we up to how many Press Briefings have we had in the last six weeks . We havent had one in two weeks and we had less this summer. I think then its typical, for the record. So its becoming sort of the diminishing Press Briefing. Now, they would argue, hey, look, you had four different chances to ask the president questions today. That is true, and well take it. But of course shouted questions, yeah. Exactly, exactly. Shouted ques
but the outcome of it is really not in doubt at this point. the governor seems like he s trying to have it both ways. framing himself as an ally to women who come forward but calling out his accusers. doesn t that throw cold water on this idea that, you know, he s there, you know, defending the rights of women in all of this? and even in his video denial that he issued the other day, he said one of the things they were going to make sure to do was to increase training on sexual harassment. that s a joke. the notion that the governor having been found what he s done here is going to increase sexual harassment training, for whom? for him? that wuras, i think, really insulting. i don t think it carries any weight. i think they need to make sure the due process rights the governor has in this procedure which could lead to his removal are protected. what i don t want to see is his impeachment removal and
the election. and i don t think that we will see democrats as bad as republicans then. and i want to add that greta added to her twitter page that she is working on her rage iss issue. bret: and going to see a movie i think she said. but you don t think there is an issue? 22 are freshmen. we have had one freshman in new jersey saying i am out. you have two democrats that we know from missouri and new jersey are pretty much going to vote no. they voted no for the inquiry to begin with anyway. bret: are over under is 5? 5-7, maybe 6, but nancy pelosi has the votes. bret: since we have the rcp guy here, we will put up the pole and the chart that has the numbers. the impeachment removal from office. you see the movement there as it is getting at its lowest level for the people that are for.
impeachment. bob? well, the only thing i would say is that the republicans, the republican defenders of president trump, have been quite persuasive with the body politic in arguing that this impeachment is really just an effort to overturn the will of the people in 2016. and i think that that has resonated with many, many of the people out there who would probably would love to have donald trump removed from office. do you have any evidence for that? support for impeachment in the country has increased beyond the support that donald trump had. in other words, there are those who want this to happen and those who don t. as an observer or reporter, i would observe the share of americans supporting the impeachment removal of donald trump is higher than the share that voted for him, which is to say or voted for hillary, which is to say you have people now, according to the numbers supporting the removal who may
day one of this president taking office. they feel rock solid of the strategy of undermining the democrat s narrative. they continue to say these are not facts. this is hearsay. the democrats are bringing before you what they believe is politically expedient to remove the president from office, therefore do not believe it. this is a message we know works for the base but not for myself and independents who question whether they want to give the president their vote next year. chris, the polls have not really changed, those in the american public that have been polled have basically stayed the same. what are some of the polls indicating that slight majority does want to see the impeachment removal, but we ve not seen it rise as a result of these public hearings. is that bad news for the democrats? i don t think so. i think it s a reflection of the kind of hyperpartisan times that we live in right now as well as the polarized media. it is important to put those
