badly for 2020. i think they re going to lose the 2020 election very big including congressional seats because of the path that they chose. i will tell you something. i think it s going to have a huge negative impact on 2020 for the democrats. dan balz, eugene robinson. i go back, the president doesn t want the impeachment process. that is why i think he sort of we know that on that front. but it will i am curious to see if the house democrats sort of pull back on this, does one of the presidential candidates take it up besides tom steier? i understand that there are people who for political reasons say it s not where we want to be. but my view, some things are above politics. [ applause ] there s a few people that couch that as her somehow taking
about funding a wall when border crossings forget it. the wall is irrelevant. they could have the debate and there have been votes on immigration bills and democrats should say this is our position. if it becomes a wall issue, it s not 50/50, but 40/55, it s not terrible for trump. he s cavalierly shutting down a huge number of government processes and functions because of petulance when we re willing to debate the wall. nancy pelosi should promise that she will bring to the floor of the house whatever proposal donald trump wants to make for the appropriations for the wall. she will promise to bring to the floor of the house and senator should say he s willing to have open amendments he s minority leader so it doesn t matter, he will have open amendment meetings. but the vulnerability there, if i were tom steier, i would put $20 million of ads up in iowa
we re just suggesting mr. president if you don t want to believe science maybe start with climate kids do the nasa do the glove. it s a pretty easy read, it s fun, there are pictures. laura: oh, that s right anderson you re smarter than everyone else. anyone scared yet? what if we were to tell you that policy paper was funded with the help of billion airs tom steier and mike bloomberg. the man who uncovered the funding chuck did he have vor. tell us a bit about how you were able to find out who funded this and what their climate agenda may be. that s a great question. first of all i owe a lot to nick morris at the heritage foundation. ed a quick critique on the point you showed. the huge hit to the economy and thousands of people dying. that s what the media focused on.
senate to make it happen. but it s also i would say a bit foreboding for democrats too. and the reason i say that is this. there is a real divide within the party ranks over how to handle this very issue. tom steier, the billionaire environmentalist has led a really row bunt and active and quite successful organizing campaign about the need to impeach trump. his e-mail list is second to maybe only bernie sanders at this point in the democratic party. and he is finding himself butting heads with the leadership ranks of democrats, the nancy pelosis and chuck schumers who would like nothing more than just not talk about this whatsoever because they see it as a motivator for the republican base. so when you see polls that say 40% of all americans, not just democrats but all americans support the concept of impeachment, it suggests that down the road months from now democrats are going to have to really tackle this issue in a way i don t think they re prepared to do. and shannon, have you
and mueller will win there and trump will have to sit down. bill: bill clinton has a new book out with james patterson. up. topic of impeachment came here he is from cbs. watch here. thinif the roles were reversed, now this is me just talking based on my experience, if there were a democratic president and these facts were present most people i know in washington believe impeachment hearings would have gun already. if there were a democrat in power now? and most people believe the press would have been that harder. bill: i assume to say that much harder on the president. what did you think of that, lisa? we have democrats right now calling for impeachment against president trump. you have people like tom steier putting up $20 million ad campaign calling for impeachment for president trump. if the roles were reversed you wod have individuals using impeachment as a partisan political tool. at least a call for impeachment.
