Lets watch. [video clip] will the president be impeached . I dont yet know what will happen in the house. I know Speaker Pelosi has submitted articles of impeachment. I have to tell you, i dont think it is a foregone conclusion that democrats will be able to get the votes to pass articles of impeachment. I hear from people all over the country. The support for this president , the progress we have made rebuilding the military, reviving the economy. Seven million jobs created as of yesterday. 180 conservatives on the federal courts. When people look at the facts of the case, they can read the and see the president did nothing wrong and i know the American People will let their voice be heard over the next two weeks. When the voice of the American People strikes capitol hill, anything is possible. Like a president , i travel across the country and literally everywhere i go i hear americans telling me that they couldnt be more proud of the progress this president has made, where you have a stronger, more prosperous america. The economy is booming. This president has kept more theises then he made to American People. All they see the democrats doing , not just in this congress, but for the last three years is endless investigations and a all in anmpeachment, effort to overturn the results of the 2016 election. Its really ironic that Speaker Pelosi says they are defending democracy. What they are trying to do is overturn the results of our democratically elected president , won a the election landslide in the Electoral College, and i think the American People see through it. The democrats are beating up on this president because they know they cannot meet him in 2020. They have as much as set it. But the impeachment report says you have either been knowledgeable of or an active participant in what they say was this illicit plan to extort the you came president. Raine president what is your response to that . Presiden zelensky has said as recently of the last week that there is no pressure per placed on ukraine. Witnesses to testify before the Democratic Committee actually testifying that the subject of investigations never came up either before, during, or after my meeting. We did talk about was what President Trump asked me to ask about. I generally dont talk about what the president and i discuss , but he gave me a authority to do that now. Already scheduled a meeting with Presiden Zelensky when he asked me to go to poland. He sat me down and said look, we are reviewing this aid. I want to know what he is doing about corruption. He was elected in a landslide on an anticorruption agenda. Host a couple of tweets coming in already. This is from lisa host that is based on this headline from inside of the New York Times, impeachment prep and cold pizza. Reporting on the release of the House Judiciary Committee report, here are some of the details from the New York Times or come that this morning from the New York Times. Lets get to your phone calls in your reactions to the events as they unfolded this week. David, oregon, republican line. Thank you for waiting. Caller good morning, steve. Its been probably 20 years since ive spoken here to you. Its nice to see that you are still on cspan. Can i make a couple of small comments before i tell you exactly how i think the impeachment is going to go . Certainly, yes. Please, go ahead. Caller well, i thought i knew what was going on. Theded up getting into Romero Institute where daniel , spelled withehan es, had an online course. Get deepo wants to into our history, partisan both ways, it was a phenomenal course. I felt like i was kind of frustrated. I thought i knew a lot about what was going on until i took this course. You didnt have to register or anything. Now, this is my take on the impeachment. I think that the impeachment is not going to happen. I dont think they are going to even take a vote for the 20 election. They are using this time to make an effort to educate the public. Ways when it comes to trump. He has made some comments when that perhapsgning he would follow through. Well, he really hasnt signed anything at yet. Republican, and tax cut was obscene. It squeezes the people that really have to make hard for a living, the vast middle class that is strained very much. Me jump in. If you were a member of the house of representatives, would you vote to impeach the president . Not at this time. I would wait and see what he actually does for the average american. But thelled right now, club itself, hes expose it. The call,ks for david. Im be a stranger, dont wait another 20 years to colin. Call in. Caller you know, its tough to get in. Im talking to you on my internet line. If i dont bio and you announce the numbers, [laughter] host well, the secret is out. David, thanks for the call. Here are some of the details about how the hearing may unfold. Nadler, ranking republican collins, with Opening Statements. Followed by councils for the committees. They will then present findings from the respective reports here amid reports. There will be a 45 minute round of questioning for the democrats, followed by 45 minutes from the republicans. And each member gets five minutes in a round of questioning. Eric is joining us from seattle, washington. Independent line. Good morning. Caller thank you. One of the main points that they cant that that trump tries to trump many points that tries to make is about the good economy. Its like an abusive relationship. His performance in office and the economy goes handinhand in hand. Why would we have someone in office who is talking about races, remember, hes a coward overseas. You try to come cut me off because i mentioned something about trump. He talks about people all the time, the same words that he uses to discriminate against people. Trump needs to be impeached and when he is impeached, democrats need to hold onto those articles of impeachment. Dont pass it to the senate until it is a politically advantageous time. Hes going to shut down the government. Thats the reason the calendar you show has nothing on it. The only thing republicans are shut down the government like a petulant child, like he is and his conduct in office. He needs to be removed. The democrats are not going to demotivate the base or trump will win again. You aree calendar referring to, december 20, when the consumer resolution continuing resolution expires. Congress needs to pass a budget or another cr. In a meeting with jake cap, Speaker Pelosi did not think a shutdown was likely. Also on december 20 is the likely vote on articles of impeachment. You are right, a lot is coming up in the next couple of weeks. Robert, fayetteville, pennsylvania. Good morning. Good morning. How do i follow that . In a registered democrat pennsylvania. I happen to be one of the many that voted for donald trump three years ago. I will vote for him again. I dont want him impeached. This is an embarrassment on the Democratic Party and everyone who has ever been a democrat. What i heard you say earlier is also an embarrassment on this country when you said that there arabiaficers from saudi taking pictures with their someone was when shooting up our air base. They should all be deported immediately back to saudi arabia. If they cant come here and act like human beings, deport them all. Host a report from the Washington Post, about the shooting that resulted in the post, about the shooting that , one ad in three deaths Naval Academy graduate, the young airmen. Yesterday a service at the chapel in pensacola, florida, interviewing those that were lost. Place shooting that took in pearl harbor this past week. Three days, two shootings, to separate navy bases. Back to your phone calls, joining us from reading, pennsylvania. Good morning, steve. Youre the only conventional cable channel i even trust to watch anymore. Every time i listen to all those other networks, lets be honest, america. The democrat to callers ago said it himself. We all know what this is. It is political. Its only political. Cant you know you cant beat the man, hes already beat 18 competitors. All of your people together you couldnt get them to be trump. Is a smokescreen, ok . Andave two investigations 140000 and i cans. A lot of you people before this is over are going to get arrested. Son, talk about pelosis bidens son, romneys son. And the dogs hind leg senator from nevada who was working with who werese and his son working with the chinese are project. Its all going down. Its all timed. Lets play games with the American People. Lets wait and stretch it out as long as we can. Hopefully there will be some divine intervention. You know, i think there is, actually. Trump is going to win again and this time it will be bigger than ever. God bless america. These are exciting times. Host thank you for the call from reading, pennsylvania. The House Judiciary Committee releasing its report. It reads in part the framers Worst Nightmare is what we are. Acing in this very moment President Trump corrupted our election for personal gain and the constitution details on the one remedy, impeachment. The host lets go to walter, joining us from indianapolis. Democratic line. Good morning. Caller good morning. I was just wanting to voice an opinion. Agenda is to spend everything. Spin everything. He was caught not only last time, but this time cheating in the election. Do believe in some republican policies, cant keep giving free stuff away, they are getting that right. However, they are not for the middle class or minority of this so toy, the engine, speak. Trump will go down this time. There will be an impeachment. But not because of jealousy or win lastr we didnt time, but because of our constitution. When i talked to my other fellow anders im a brick layer they are trump supporters, my one question is why would you want a person who doesnt know our constitution . This United States of america is united because of the constitution. A businessman cannot run our country as a business because we are not a business. We are a constitution or an institution. We are together. We win by working together. We dont win by separation. Trump has delighted our country to the maximum. I am working with the division every day. I believe that our constitution. S most important besides money. Besides health care. Besides all. All is tougher in our constitution from the founders. Mylan is from host send us a tweet. Is joining us from vernon, minnesota, good morning. Quicklyi wanted to state that i am totally in opposition of the impeachment. The impeachment process in my according to the constitutional guidelines has been violated. To the former person speaking and, all due respect, i want to comment also. I am an enrolled member of the Lake Superior chippewa tribe. Im a Senior Citizen and i find that perhaps the gentleman before wasnt well informed on how President Trumps budgetary whole helphis towards the native american is very strong. Some may disagree and i understand, but just most recently President Trump had undered a Committee William barr to begin to look into native american issues surrounding disappearance of native women. To becauseant there are so many issues that have arisen under president ongoing opposition to whatever he has done. I myself would like to see a collective who on an on versus policy violations are things like that. Thanks for the call. Audrey with this lonnie, joining us from fayetteville, north carolina. Good morning, lonnie. Issues there are so many that have arisen under president through ongoing opposition to whatever he has done. Thank you for the call. Good morning, tony. Tony . Caller can you hear me . Host yes, sir, good morning. Caller high. For me the first article of impeachment should be what he has done to the epa regulations allowing more poisons to be put in our air, water, and food supply, thus affecting the health of all americans and he wants to worry about flushing toilets . Host roberta, utah, good morning. Caller the morning. I want to say that the impeachment should go through. Mr. Trump has committed so many crimes and broken the rules so many times. He doesnt deserve to be president of the United States. The most despicable thing that he did was separate these children and lock them in cages on the border. In filthy conditions. Call,thank you for the roberta. Brian is next, georgia, independent line. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. First, let me say this, trump is not fit to be president and never was. Secondly, i find the Republican Party to be wholly unamerican and unpatriotic. Wouldis no way that they accept this behavior from the previous president or any other previous president. First, trump has no policies. He knows nothing about politics. Its just a real shame that you have so many average americans that want to just go down with the ship, dont know anything about the constitution. Its just sad. I find it to be really sad. Host thank you for the call. Based on the reporting, expect tomorrows hearing to look more like a trial. Preparations this weekend with the committee releasing a report yesterday in a mock session held by House Democrats and house members reporting to the House Judiciary Committee yesterday in advance of the hearing. As we said at the top of the program, cspan will be your primary source for the hearing on all of our platforms, including the web. This from the Washington Times , as the republicans but forward a resolution to block candidates are president in a Senate Impeachment trial. Ere are some of the details Congressional Republicans want to require Senate Democrats running for president to recruit to recuse themselves from the possible trial against President Trump. Host that from jason smith in. Issouri, who is pushing this saying annette, joining us from alexander city, alabama. Caller good morning. Im a cspan junkie and i always wait for you, you are fair and letting people speak. I am for sure against this impeachment. For the main reason the democrats have no credibility. From day one it was their main agenda. Impeach 45, they hate trump. Mainly because he beat hillary. So, they declared war on him. They couldnt even call him president. They call him 45. Its just a juvenile reaction. A good example is the whistleblower lawyer who is on record saying from the first day that trump was elected that the that we are going to resist and follow up with impeachment. You know, i just want to say please, these democrats that call in and say that they dont wee republicans because dont go by their choice, i want to let them know, this is still america. If you want to vote, vote for her you want, i vote for who i want. Its freedom of choice. Trump is the only one who will actually bring up things like homelessness, drug addiction and they blow it off. Talks about it. As far as children in cages at the border, those are obama cages. He did the same thing. We got to do something about whats going on with illegal immigration and stop whining about certain things they dont like. Fix them. Impeachment is a joke. Please, as far as diverse city . Democrats divided our country from day one out of hate. Usy mock republicans, call names, racists, bigots, everything imaginable. They are the ones dividing our country. We need to come together for the sake of this great country. So much. I love cspan. I watch you every morning. We appreciate that. Thanks for calling. This headline from the Washington Post. Republicans on impeachment has vulnerable democrats jittery. The committee gets underway tomorrow. We will pool the coverage that ,ou see on all the networks they will be coming from cspan cameras on all the networks. We will hear from jerry nadler and doug collins.
