Holding the articles of youve got republicans that are impeachment is bringing the arguing this is in fact about president to a boil. They didnt give us anything. Corruption, the very first now they have come to the senate readout of the call that was in question, the president never and they want everything. Once indicated said the word with the senate trial on hold, what is pelosis strategy and is it working . Corruption once. So once again, these are democratic congressman joe kennedy joins me exclusively to discuss, next. Republicans getting loud, trying to hide the ball from what is a very serious abuse of power by President Trump. It is true that there is no hello, im jake tapper in washington with the state of our union is saddened and on edge. Evidence of any wrongdoing by Vice President biden or that a man is charged with five counts of attempted murder after hunter biden broke any laws at all but frankly it does stink a mass stabbing at a Hanukkah Party outside new york city. That hunter biden got this witnesses say a man walked in the home of a orthodox rabbi and pulled out a knife and stabbed contract with with no expertise five people. The house was full of worshippers who gathered in the Energy Sector and likely together to light the candles. Police say a suspect described already said he probably got that money, which was significant, because of his connection with his father, the as a tall africanamerican man had been apprehended. Vice president at the time also Governor Andrew Cuomo directed in charge of ukraine at the time. Do you think that future the states hate crime task president s and Vice President s force to investigate. Should say my relatives cannot cash in in any way on their connection to me . The incident is is the latest in the troubling spate of attacks against Jewish Americans in the Greater New York area. Look, i think it is there have been nine antisemitic attacks in new york certainly i think it is over the past week and this certainly worth putting that out there and worth trying to make sure there is not any sort of month two people shot and killed a Police Detective in jersey city before storming a jewish market and killing two jews that profit earned by close relatives was fueled by antisemitic being in office. And i have had plenty of family members in office. Beliefs. I understand the responsibility joining me now Warren Siegel from the antidefamation center on extremism. That comes with holding a position of public responsibility. Governor cuomo just spoke at the location there calling this a and ensuring there is a very hate crime and domestic clear delineation so they arent terrorism. Profiting off it. Do you think the authorities in new york state and new york city are doing enough . But i think again if were going to get into this conversation, it is awfully hard for me to reconcile and to square those comments and that clarity put listen, at this point, we are forth by Vice President biden, by hunter biden, with the fact in an epidemic in new york city of all places for the jewish you have the current president s community. Children running around on an International Hotel chain so we know that the Nypd Hate Crime Task force has taken this supported by u. S. Military Service Members staying at their seriously but we expect the Hotels Across the world, that is where they tried to host the g7 Jewish Community, the place the a struggling hotel in florida and his daughter runs wheres they worship and gather will be more protected by Law Enforcement and others. We still have a long way to go clothing lines and jewelry lines seeing the spate of antisemitic just got patents from china in the midst of a trade war. In the city. You were with the families last night in rockland county, some of those might be legitimate and some might not new york, after this horrific be. But lets be clear and make sure act of domestic terrorism. Everybody is held to the same how is the community doing . Listen, we are still standard. And once again i dont think that is the case here. Recovering as a community from what we saw . And you said this month if jersey city. President trump is not removed from office, quote, i dont my colleagues were at monsey at think anything stops him from thinking he cant do it again. 11 00 yesterday going to where this incident happened as we is there a possibility that the have in brooklyn and elsewhere house could impeach president and the community is in shock. Trump again before the end of there is fear and anxiety and that is why it is important for term or even in his next term if there is another term . Organizations like adl and the jake, i we talked about Broader Community to step up and be allies. This before. This is the ninth attack in i would hope that we would have not have to impeach president the last week. Obviously there has been an increase in hate crimes against trump once. I hope i voted to remove the president from office because i jews in new york and nationally. Believe he has abused his power. I hope we dont have to do that again. Why do you think this is happening, specifically the but lets be clear, this is not attacks in new york . The house of representatives voting to impeachment donald for new york city, weve seen trump. A 17 increase in antisemitic this is the house of incidents from january through representatives standing up for november of this year compared our constitution and holding the to last year. President accountable for his own actions. So we are indeed seeing a rise. Remember, the call in question and the answer of why is difficult. The mainstreaming of that brought down the scrutiny antisemitic in our public about the president s actions discussion on our phones, i think plays a part to it. Visavis ukraine happened the but this is why it is important day after director mueller testified about interference in the trump administrations handling of russian interference to investigate every incident, in our election, the next day, to identify what is the motivation for what were seeing. And many of the attacks have the day after director mueller been carried out against was there when plenty of news Orthodox Jews who dress in a way reports said it was clear the that makes them identifiably president wasnt going to be jewish. What steps do you recommend that held accountable for those they take to protect themselves . Actions the very next day he listen, at this point we called up the president of dont have a luxury in the ukraine and said do us a favor Jewish Community whether you are though. Visibly jewish or otherwise to and the fact that you have take security as a lax thing. Someone engaged in the behavior so being able to get the support from Law Enforcement and outlined in the Mueller Report government in order to protect and i read every page of it and jewish institutions until this disrespectful of the office and spate of antisemitic incidents the country and after he was going to skate on that, the next goes down, especially during the day he engaged on behavior and then gets in front of news cameras and asked china to do holidays, i think that will help the very same thing. At what point does this stop and make the Jewish Community and in at what point does this president abide by the laws and rules and National Security regulations of this country and to this point he hasnt and that particular the Orthodox Community feel safe and secure. Is what this processes is about. So it appears if not many if i didnt run for office to not most of the attacks were allegedly carried out not by impeach a president but if the president keeps abusing his White Supremacists, not by the power im not sure what else i can do. Alt right, but by people of color. Merry christmas and happy new what is your response when year to you. Members of the Orthodox Community say, and ive heard them say that and im sure you have too, there could be more of an outrage if the attackers were White Supremacists and thus fell thank you, jake. Bernie sanders give Hillary Clinton a run for her money in the last president ial primaries and might he go all the way in 2020 . Stay with us. More easily into a political narrative . I mean, i think, again, this is where investigations not only to bring those perpetrators to now, super stay matte inkades. Justice carrying out the from maybelline new york. Incidents but to identify the motivations. Bold color. Urban edge. Liquid matte formula. In jersey city it was something up to 16 hour wear. Beyond merely africanamerican. Super stay matte ink. Only from maybelline new york. It wasnt representative of the that community. It is somebody who subscribed to nyquil severe gives you powerful relief a real antisemitic ideology. For your worst cold and flu symptoms, so when we think about the on sunday night and every night. Communities, we have to come together. Nyquil severe. The nightime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, that is why at adl were best sleep with a cold, medicine. Bringing our no place for hate Educational Programs to brooklyn and doubling the the amount of students that we reach out to and so i dont think we need to overstep and overanalyze what this means but we have to get the data and understand the motivations before we jump to conclusions. Orren siegel, i want to say happy hanukkah but it is a sad thanks for joining us today. Thank you. Switching to politics now. E message calling for understanding and respect and hours later began to vent his rage at nancy pelosi who is still refusing to turn over the articles of impeachment to the senate. There has been no progress in the impeachment standoff which centers off in pelosis view whether senators will agree to hear testimony from new witnesses but one crack is forming in the possibly red wall of the gop jurors in the senate from Lisa Murkowski who objected to leader mcconnell saying hes working in total coordination with the white house on the verizons important to us because we facetime with her grandparents all the time. Senate trial. vo when you have the best network, in fairness, when i heard you want to give the best network. That i was disturbed. We have to take that step back Feliz Navidad laughs vo this holiday, you can gift americas most Reliable Network from being hand in glove with and the latest iphone.

Senate judiciary committee. And apple music is included. Thank you so much for joining with plans starting at just 35. Us. Merry christmas and happy new shrieks yeah, exciting. Year. vo happy holidays from the network that gives you more. Before we get to politics i want to start with the attack in new york last night, Governor Cuomo will push for a law in state of new york to make these kind of attacks domestic terrorism. Would you support a law like that at a National Level . Well i would want to see the law that the governor is talking about. Um, you know, america is a big, wide ole pluralistic country. I dont think any of us want to live in a police state. Freedom has risk. Having said that, this is people who have hate in their heart and i dont buy and never have bought the proposition that people who do these reprehensible things are sick or confused or mixed up. I think some of them are evil. And we have to get them off the street. And if i make it to heaven, that is the first thing im going to ask, is why is there even in the world and why do people think it is necessary so hate instead of just disagree . I think it is i think all Public Officials can try to do a better job of setting an example by being respectful in disagreement and showing that, well, you could disagree but you dont have to hate. I just think it is terrible. I would obey any subpoena but all acts of violence are that was sent to me. Terrible. Not just what happened, as bad the only rational reason and you know this from the papers youve as it is in new york, the kills on the streets in chicago, the the antisemitic murders written that i could possibly be elsewhere, the racial murders elsewhere. Called in an impeachment trial was could i shed any light on the same race killings. I mean all of that is horrible, whether or not he could commit jake. And if i have an answer, i would the crime and there is no go pass a bill but you cant indication i would have any notion whether or not he committed that crime. Legislate hate away from people who have it in their heart. Joe biden seemingly walking fair enough. Back his previous assertion that thanks senator kennedy. He would not comply with a lets turn to politics if we can now. Subpoena to testify. And lets discuss. The senate trial is pending. Karen let me start with you. Although we dont know when. Was it start for biden said you have said, quote, my he wouldnt participate and now objective first and foremost is he is saying he would comply. To be fair to both sides. Smart to walk that back. You heard senator Lisa Murkowski there. Smart to clarify. What he said was if he could were you also bothered when majority leader mcconnell said there would be no daylight shed any light on what happened between him and the white house. Because this is about trumps i think he is entitled to his behavior, this is not about joe opinion and approach and so is senator murkowski and bidens behavior. As much as the republicans would blumenthal. Like to create a show trial in the senate which is what if you look at the constitution, President Trump wants, there is no material reason to bring joe the standing rules of the biden in to testify about the abuse of power by president senate, the essay and analysis trump. He has no direct knowledge. By the Congressional Research service and the case law, nixon if the republicans have a concern, i know you were v u. S. , not richard nixon, a speaking with joe kennedy about federal judge named nixon, if you look at the case of portus v the deal the arrangement that hunter biden had with the company in ukraine, that is a barron and the rule is there is no substantive rules. Separate investigation. It is not a criminal trial. That is a completely different question. The senate is not really a jury. It is both jury and judge. That is not about what the president is doing here. The chief justice is not the judge, hes the presiding and scott, liz mayor said on twitter, a conservative who officer. Doesnt like trump, i have to paraphrase because she was salty there are no standards of proof. In her language but something along the lines of i have the guts to testify, im happy to there are no rules of evidence. And every senator, unless we testify, i dont think president pass a new rule by 51 votes in the senate, is entitled to approach it his own way. Trump has the guts to do so. I think many positions by many he should testify too and then senators are calcified. I want to be fair to both sides. When i thought that the house that would have put more of proceedings were unnecessarily attention and onus on president unfair and when the american trump. Ive been dubious that the bidens would show up. I still doubt that joe biden would show up. But the biden i care about is hunter biden. If joe biden is nervous, how do you think hunter biden would people walk away from the senate be his lawyer would never let him show up. Trial, if we ever have one, i so this is a moment be careful what you wish for. And you want a trial and dont want them saying well we witnesses and the republicans have ideas on that too and so why i think the ultimate thing were just run over by the same will happen is both truck twice. Presentations and both parties will decide weve heard enough and lets move it. And democrats say and im not it was unfair in the house and disagreeing the idea that the bidens is the side show with regard to President Trumps it was unfair in the senate. Misconduct but if there are i want people to think that it witnesses it seems like that is what will happen and they want was a level Playing Field. To call the bidens and john so you said earlier this month that in the name of kennedy said schumer might be the dog that catches the car. The president , he gets witnesses fairness, you would vote, theoretically, to allow but President Trump asserts executive privilege and none of trumps witnesses come and then hunter biden is before the senate. Democrats, republicans, anyone were expecting normal from joe biden because hes the make america normal again candidate that were not expecting from donald trump. Involved in the trial to call eight, nine subpoenas that he and his administration have ignored in the process of the any witness that they want in a impeachment and instead the senator trial. Conversation is ending up being do you think that is the only about joe biden as a father potentially helping his son get a job while he was in office. With well that is the case and the story, there is no greater fair way to do it those perpetrator for that than donald representing trump and the house trump with ivanka trump having a White House Position and
