to being irrelevant in the state of american politics. yeah. maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but that time is coming. i agree. this is unsustainable. yeah. this republican party is unsustainable. we re going to explain that more because there s different strains of that that are really coming to light. also, when it comes to helping ukraine, a new report finds some countries are really helping while others are mostly talking. we will discuss the growing pressure on western europe to do more. with us, we have columnist and associate editor for the washington post david ignatius joining us this morning. national political reporter for axios, jonathan swan. and white house bureau chief at politico and the host of way too early, jonathan lemire is with us. and the host of msnbc s politics nation, president of the national action network, reverend al sharpton is with us on this monday morning. we re going to begin, joe, with that poll that finds a
I dont know what was achieved over the last six plus hours. None of the Witnesses Today were fact witnesses. None were involved in the investigation into the alleged activities in the first place. Whats more, none of the witnesses testified today of direct knowledge of what republicans have been claiming about joe biden. Whether its smoke today, we got more smoke. Thats fox news host neal cavuto with the same assessment that came out of yesterdays Impeachment Hearing and came out hearings before, about the inquiry into hunter biden and how joe biden got so fabulously wealthy off his crack addict son. Yeah. Lots of luck, fellas. Okay. As House Republicans failed to produce evidence linking the president to his sons business dealings, were going to have a lot more from that hearing. On capitol hill, it may take a miracle to stop a Government Shutdown right now. Were going to have the latest on any lastditch efforts to fund the government before sundays deadline and were going to show you
Frontrunner with increased scrutiny, of course, especially for his continued praise of fidel castro. Well show you ho you that is playing out on the campaign trail.

We will also talk about the verdict for Harvey Weinstein. Well show you more from the incredibly emotional moments from yesterdays Memorial Service for kobe bryant and his daughter gianna including hearing, as i said, from his wife vanessa. Such a moving service. Incredible. Beginning to end. Stopped the whole day. Yeah. And so many people, just froze and stopped the day and watched this. And, you know, willie, there were so many moving moments of that service. You just cant you cant put it down there, but i will tell you that vanessa talking about kobe. Hmm. The father. Hmm. Man.
Promote a Government Shutdown if congress does not crack down on illegal immigration. Even as negotiators worked on a deal to keep the government funded past the deadline of midnight thursday. If we dont get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country and continue to kill, gang members, and were just talking about ms13, there are many gang members that we dont even mention. If we dont change it, lets have a shutdown, well do a shutdown and its worth it for our country. Id love to see a shutdown if we dont get this stuff taken care of. If we have to shut it down because the democrats dont want safety, unrelated but still related, they dont want to take care of our military, shut it down. Well go with another shutdown. The president s threats come on the same day white house chief of staff and former general john kelly also weighed in on immigration policy. Kelly praised trump for his offer to reinstate daca. Heres how he described undocumented immigrants wh
That. And james comey asking American Voters to end Donald Trumps presidency in 2020. Comeys war of words with the president continues. More on that in a moment. We start with President Trumps see no evil game plan today and over the weekend the president has essentially tried to down play the gaming reports from two teams of prosecutors including bob muellers special counsels office. For the first time the government has tied the president of the United States to a federal crime. Campaign finance violations. The memos also providing greater detail of how intertwined the president and his people were with those close to Vladimir Putin in the leadup to the election. Lots to sift through.
