he s a democrat from illinois. thank you very much for joining us. you said on the oversight and the intel committee, so busy week for you. it is, good morning, bobby. so you have said that you expect a super bowl sized audience to watch these hearings. we ll see. that would be a lot. but the chairman of the judiciary committee, jerry nadler said over the weekend there s very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. obviously a bar there for impeachment. you have been in the pelosi camp of holding off on beginning impeachment proceedings. do you agree with those words from jerry nadler? yes, there s evidence. i think that a lot of people are going to pay attention to what bob mueller says about that evidence, as well as a number of issues. i just want to point out in the intelligence committee, which is what i sit on, we re going to be talking about volume one, which is about russian interference in
that s ahead of 2020. i want to get your reaction on this washington post piece. it s talking about the democratic divide on the issue of impeachment. you got the paper interviewing 45 members of the democratic party. splitting them up to three categories in the pelosi camp, those that don t want to touch impeachment. those that are torn about it and those die-hards that want nothing less than impeachment. does this sum up the current state of the party? absolutely. i do think there s a lot of division in the party on this issue because i don t think anyone really knows how it will play politically. i think for those in the pelosi camp, they realize that there s the risk of dividing the country. we know the voters are sick of the partisan attitudes. daniel, the last word to you,
nice to see you, david. i want to start with this sound from nancy pelosi, we have gone over a two-month period where she s going from defiantly to more open to it. they wanted me to impeach president bush for the iraq war. i didn t believe in it then. i don t believe in it now. it divides the country. it s demonstrating on a daily basis his obstruction. this president is obstructing justice and he is engaged in a coverup, and that could be an impeachment offense. is she getting closer to impeachment or is she trying to keep congresswoman happy? if you speak to the pelosi camp, she s saying we need to be in fact finding.
or, i don t know, the cotton camp? i am certainly not in the pelosi camp. i don t even want to know where that zip code is. i am encouraged by what paul ryan and the republicans are doing. i think that there are valid criticisms with any bill. they re going to make this better. we inherited a really bad problem. got nowhere to go but up. made worse by obamacare. what we have to do is make it better for an overwhelming vast majority and that s what we re going to do. we re doing it in the light of day. it s going to take some time. but we re going to get it right. i m confident about that. brian: we are seeing a lot about it, brad? right? we are reading a lot about it. for nancy pelosi to ask for this that s audacity. what she said in that 125eu78in thatstatement was sheo see a cbo score. that s what you all file
sent us here to serve them. it is not about us. megyn? shannon, thanks so much. let s take a listen as the votes are coming in from both sides of the aisle on the next speaker of the house. we ve had at least six democrats defect from the pelosi camp. she is expected to win the majority of the votes on the minority side. but she is not winning all of them. we ve had some notable defections. some of these folks, democrats in particular, when running for re-election ran against nancy pelosi being the next speaker saying if you put me back in washington, folks, i won t vote for her. now we re listening to republicans and democrats off their votes. let s take a minute and listen. there was a vote for schuler right there. klein. boehner. kucinich? pelosi
