a lot of really good evidence or we wouldn t be standing up in court asking the injury to hold somebody accountable for a crime. but the defense doesn t have a whole leg of a lot. what they try to do is poke holes in the government s case. so i think the weakness or absence of a case by the president is going to make the house s case look all the stronger. hmm. glen and kornell. i got to fit in a break. i ll have you back now for more analysis or the mixed tape, dealer s choice. coming up, rudy guiliani secret communications could get turned over with an indicted associate facing a new hearing tomorrow. also we have a special guest who could draft any articles of impeachment that come out of this process and who has the insight into the democratic strategy. all of that right after this brake. strategy l of that right after this brake. this is your wake-up call. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, month after month, the clock is ticking on irreversible joint damage. o
good evening, ari. kornell you know why you are here? ha, ha, ha ha ha. do you know why you are here? to rap? if you want to. that s not why we booked you. we booked you because you deal with the numbers and the public opinion. not what folks want to happen or hope will happen or think will happen. you deal with where the people are. so when you look at what the house did today in the mounting evidence, from an objective perspective of the people, what do you see as significant tonight? okay. so, i ll keep my mixed tape. so what i think is significant this evening really is republicans are on record with saying it s okay for our leader to ask for foreign assistance. when up look at all the polling around this, it s not just democrats, but when you look at a majority of independents who are either for impeachment or for the inquiry, republicans are fought where the majority of americans are. they re not particularly where
and republicans have been silent on that i think that becomes problematic even in deep southern and places where the military is really important. kornell, i m curious, as we go to the televised public stage, what does it mean when you set this up, i with a lot of our experts watching live this morning, these rules don t say hey public hearings go. as we have been reporting, there is a lot more to it. a lot they set up 90 minutes aside for non-politician professional experts to lead the questioning. we put toke something i want to show previously, which compares mr. lewandowski, checked by glen, he was questioned by not a politician but barry burke in what many thought was one of the more effective parts of that hearing, which effects watergate. you won t see fred thompson, you will hear his voice, who at the time was the lawyer on the committee. take a look. did you say that because you wanted to protect the president? not to the best of my
the american of independent and moderate voters are. when you look at these battleground states what they need to do you look at where they are struggling in the suburbs, many of these congressional districts where the battle grounds will be fought and won in the suburbs, these college educated voters are not where republicans are on stonewalling and watching something earlier where republicans are literally running from reporters who are asking them, is it okay for a president to ask foreign powers for help. they don t want to answer that question. that s going to be tough for them to take into the fall of 2020? that brings us to glen, how do you define the issues, what is the scope? what are the questions? glen, when you go to the supreme court that section in the beginning of the brief is crucial. how do you define what s at issue tells you whether you win or lose to kornell s point, it s not only republicans who ultimately have their own districts to worry about. people who need jo
recollection. sir, did you deny it because you wanted to protect yourself? not to the best of my recollection, mr. burke. why did you lie on national television? are you aware of the installation of listening devices in the oval office of the president? i was aware of listening devices. kornell, if the jury is made up of the type of people that you help win elections, senators, how much does it matter that the public might see hearings that are really led by non-politicians or professionals and how people ultimately judge this case around the nation? i think it becomes real problematic. because i don t see the number of americans who are who approve of this process and approve of the president being impeached, shrinks as more of the everyday is put forward, particularly put forward not in a harsh sort of partisan political way but put forward by
