Aspen for our Aspen Security Forum there. Here is ali for velshi ruhle. Hello everyone, i am ali velshi, it is wednesday, july 17th, stephanie is on assignment. House speaker is expected address last nights stunning vote. The first last night and again and this morning the president attacked the four women on twitter and calling them names and thanking them for his polling number. Demonizing not only immigrants but communities of color. There are no bottom of the barrel of this. To stifle those who wants to advance rights for all people of
the United States. Each of us bring our unique and authentic voice to this body. We govern in our own way. We are four women who have al n alignment of values. There is no insurgency here or for conspiracy. President trump is expected to continue his attack on these women in a rally. I want to talk a little bit more about the president and his comments. The house is going to vote today on a resolution to impeach President Trump as a measure thats bei
How we is quickly approaching brecks it is not the European Union today gave the u. K. Another extension until january of 2020 the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson once said that hed rather be dead in a ditch than ask for breaks a delay or tonight johnson is not in a ditch but his brakes and promises they are as cold as a corpse i burned off and berlin this is the day. He said hed rather die in a dish another broken promise and can i begin by thanking the European Union for granting the extension. We have this Discordant Augmentative Column of the would do nothing it will not throw
a government out of office and it will not allow a government to govern because the majority require has not been reached the news of it now that a new deal is off the table we have a great new deal. Also coming up at the Worlds Most Wanted terrorist is dead and us President Trump can take credit for it happening on his watch but the president s thoughts they seem stuck in a different time with a different
Sought to protect us. But now along comes a president who actually says he is constitutionally empowered to do whatever he wants. That he can neither be prosecuted or even investigated for any crime. And that he can totally ignore any impeachment proceeding of which he disapproves. These are the claims of a wanna be tyrant who has extowed the virtues of tyrants from manila to moscow. To advance tyranny, he adopts an openborder policy. Inviting foreigners to come into our country and intrude in our elections. Foreign nations have their own agendas. Especially, adversaries like rush s russia and china. American citizens should be the only ones determining the fate of america. If the president continues demanding more foreign interference, we will never have trulyfree elections. And we will not be free. We act today, recognizing the solemn responsibility to safeguard our security and constitution. We pledge allegiance to the flag. And the republic for which it stands. Not to one man who w
Not take impeachment lightly. Yet, i am here to do my job as a member of congress. [speaking in foreign language]
and today, i pray for god for his guidance in uniting great nation. And for that, the gentleman from new york, i yield. The gentleman will reap be required to give a translation of your remarks. The gentle mike johnson from new york. Mr. Collins is recognized. I would have to disagree with my chairman. Im not sure what hes been watching but the facts are not undisputed. Not only by the minority but the dash and without a yield. I think you gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, i rise today in opposition to the democrat sham process which makes a mockery of the rules of the house, and its frankly dangerous to the count
country. Since day number one the democrats have made it clear that they wanted to move towards impeachment well before any of the accusations took place. What democrats unfortunately dont recognize is the damage that this will cause for our political instituti
Called wafer thin evidence. This is where impeachment becomes the norm rather than the exception. Thats not how our Founding Fathers intended. They wanted impeachment to be rare. They set a high bar for impeachment. Alleged abuse of power, the first article is not a high crime or misdemeanor. In fact its not even a crime. Since there is no concise Legal Definition of abuse of power the Majority Party in the house can designate nearly any disagreement with the president are now in an Impeachable Offense. The second article produced a similarly dangerous precedent. Its a practice that began with George Washington and its not obstruction of congress. Rather its a function of the essential checks and balances contemplated under the constitution. It is what every Grade School Student in america knows but apparently House Democrats do
not. Let the third branch of government decide to come up they are the referees. The house has never, i repeat never, approved an abuse of Power Roi Obstructio
