what s your sense of where the white house is on this? i mean, the senate did seem to be actually moving forward with some of these things that you re discussing, the gas tax and fees on electric vehicles until president biden came back from europe and then saying that s not going to work for us. is that a reflection of what s going on in the house? and where do you think they re ultimately going to come down? where the president is substantively is where they are in the house. he wants to address climate and tax on the wealthy. and he wants to see something bipartisan work out. he s letting the process play out. i just don t think that genuine desire for bipartisanship is consistent with what he also wants to see policywise and the divergent. how significant would you say is the frustration currently
we lose one republican votes in the house. the decision is going to be made by mitch mcconnell. he has the right to do whatever he wants. he s the head of the senate. mike: katie, your thoughts. she has tried to put herself as a fair arbitrator of what s going on in the house. this had to be something that was bipartisan. clearly, that has been completely pushed to the side in terms of what has happened in recent weeks. as the president said, no republicans voted for impeachment. they did not vote for impeachment. she s put that argument aside. she s also been arguing that this is about the constitution. while, there are many things in the constitution that she is required to do. one of them is to send the articles of impeachment for a trial. everyone is entitled to a speedy trial in the constitution. so, she keeps claiming that this

his loudest critic and would have told the president to his face. what i see happening today is just a partisan nonsense. you have voiced strong opinions about this impeachment place, but you are, along with the rest of your senate fellows jurors. is it appropriate to be voicing your opinion even before this gets to the senate as a trial? well, i must think so because i m doing it. this comes after mitch mcconnell said there was no chance trump would be removed from office. are they doing their duty as senators, as americans, scott, to not even bother to listen to the evidence before they make a conclusion? they have been listening to the evidence. they have eyes and they have ears and they ve been hearing what s going on in the house and i m sure they pay attention to what s happening in the house committees and they look at the nightly news about the witnesses that have come forward and they ve heard everything that the president has had to say and
