The new republic talked about said, is people truly do, i the death of shame. Well, here we are 20 years later believe, understand that these allegations are serious. And there you see it among but what i hear often is two things. People who actually act like first thing i hear is well, look, max, i get it, the theyre in a personality cult. President might have done something wrong, but everybody people who have spent their does it. Why are you singling this guy entire life enriched by their out for something when everybody fathers last name. Does this . You know president s used to do this in the past, senators are and republicans who this doing this all the time. Its for that reason that we really is breathtaking. Voted yesterday on whether to should be coupling this with the have an inquiry into whether the most expansive anticorruption effort in the history of the United States. Commander and chief compromised the second thing we hear, though, is oh, look, max, this National Security. And one of our democratic allies is a witchhunt. You guys were trying to get him who had been invaded by russia, from day one. Well, there are members of my whether we should have an some of my colleagues in the inquiry into whether he did make Democratic Party who certainly those compromises for his wanted to impeach this guy before they were sworn in. Reelection campaign. They are totally wrong. We have the evidence already. There are also members of the its out there. And yet not a single republican party, far too many, republican you talk about a who wouldnt even consider personality cult. Yeah. Initiating an inquiry of this you talk about projection, president no matter what he did there it is right there. You know what . Because theres an r next to its at this point its just his name. That is even worse. Sad. Yeah. But, you know what . So my belief is thats why i thats how theyll be remembered talk to much about earning trust by history and its not going to be pretty. Here. We have got to look at this as a well, if it was just sad, larger anticorruption issue as perhaps it couwould be okay. Well as constantly, constantly show the American People that we but its really bad for our are rising above the fray and country. We have republican strategist not concerned about our own and msnbc political analyst politics. Congressman max rose, thanks, susan del percio with us. Congressman. Thanks, guys. Thank you so much, congressman. Mika, the thing is, and, you edward luce, and editor of know, what the congressman says, a lot of Trump Supporters say. Washington post and msnbc but lets just be really clear political analyst eugene here. Not every senator does, not robinson. And cofounder and ceo of axios, every house member does it, not jim vandehei. Every president does it. Horn and author of soul of in fact, we can actually be as America Rogers professor, the bold as to say no president of the United States, no commander presidency of vanderbilt and chief has ever said on University Jon meacham. National television that he hes an nbc news and msnbc would get dirt from foreign contributor. Well, the house took a enemies. And that he would look at it and significant step forward in the impeachment inquiry of president use it. Trump. Thats, of course, what lawmakers approved a resolution President Trump said to george stephanopoulos. Thats right. No president , no commander 232196 largely along party and chief in American History lines to formalize the rules and has ever been warned by his own guidelines for the public phase of the impeachment probe. Directors that he appointed of the eightpage resolution lays the fbi, of the cia, the ndi, out the format for open hearings and would allow the president or the United States militaries his counsel to participate in intel committees, none have ever impeachment proceedings held by the house Judiciary Committee. Had the entire Intel Community two Democratic Congressmen, new saying the United States is under attack and its democratic jersey and minnesota, broke with the party to broke vote against institutions and its voting the resolution. Process is in danger and have both represent districts that the president completely ignore donald trump won in 2016. That. And finally, no commander and independent congressman justin chief in the history of this amash also voted with the republic, no president has ever democrats. Up until this point, republicans have largely complained about called a foreign leader and the impeachment process being said, were holding up your behind closed doors, but house against Committee Chairman adam 400 million in military aid or schiff told msnbc last night were holding up military aid that the process of releasing transcripts can now begin as until or holding up a meeting early as next week. At the white house until you dig House Speaker nancy pelosi up dirt on my opponents family. Defended the resolution on the house floor during a news nothing remotely like that has conference and with an ever happened. Appearance on late night and if anybody is hearing that television framing the investigation as a from a republican politician, please let us know. Constitutional duty that must be carried out fairly. Because that republican politician is either a liar or it provides the president and he is illiterate. His counsel opportunities to and we need to push back against participate, including presenting his case, submitting this post literate president and requests for testimony, this post literate political attending hearings, raising ecosystem that donald trump is objections to testimony given, swimming in. Well, you can characterize it crossexamining witnesses, and as illiterate, but you could more. And contrary to what you may characterize it as the process have heard today, we give more from stephanopoulos to Mick Mulvaney to the constant opportunity to the to his narrative the president putting case than was given to other out there and his mignons that this was a perfect call that was president s before. I dont know why the republicans made. You can characterize it as are afraid of the truth. Normalizing a crime. Every member should support yeah. Because thats going to be allowing the American People to the defense, is that this is hear the facts for themselves. Okay, this is what we do. We didnt see anything wrong with it. Thats what were getting at Benjamin Franklin came out, they this point. This is where it ends up, said mr. Franklin what do we because theres obviously been have a monarchy or a republic . Quid pro quo. As was written in the national and he said a republic if we can keep it. Review a couple dadeys ago, and here this right here in the here and now we are keeping the Everybody Knows there was a quid pro quo. Just watch the republicans have republic from a president who says article two says i can do whatever i want. Slipped and slid from one not so. Its about fairness. Because, as i said, this is position that was indefensible to another. Theyre going tend to up at the about the constitution and how end of the day saying, okay, we go forward with this. Yes, there was a quid pro quo no decision has been made to and he held up military impeach, thats what the assistance to a democratic nation invaded by vladimir inquirys about. Putin, but so what . H but how we go forward say test for douse so worthy of the get over it. Constitution, worthy of our and when they do that, donald trump will have truly rotted the founders sacrifice when they established this constitution. Republican party to its core. So nancy pelosi, so jon were very close, actually, now. Coming up, a majority of meacham, im stuck on the fact that not a single republican americans say President Trump voted to launch this inquiry. Has little or no respect to the obviously democrats did. Democratic institutions. They voted to launch the inquiry were digging into those new on bill clinton, Richard Nixon quite a few republicans numbers and what they mean for obviously engaged early on many the presidency. Morning joe is back in a moment. Esidency. That process. Morning joe is back in a moment. But here weve already had a president who has lied about the phone call, a president who has lied about the quid pro quo, a president who has lied about the, quote, transcript, a president who has lied already and been caught about seeking dirt on joe bidens family, a president who has lied about twisting and wretching u. S. Foreign policy in assistance to a democratic ally under attack by Vladimir Putin for his own political purposes, and not a single republican finds this worthy of inquiry. Where does that put us as a but were also a company that controls hiv, republic . So, i want mika to get ready fights cancer, to get excited and interested in repairs shattered bones, what im about to say. I think were interestingly relieves depression, were almost in a are you restores heart rhythms, ready . Were almost in a kind of a helps you back from strokes, and keeps you healthy your whole life. Preenlightenment, prereformation from the day youre born at the moment. We never stop taking care of you. Its like you could look at data and observe reality and then form your views as opposed to being handed your views from on im working to treat every car like i treat mine. Adp helps airtech automotive streamline payroll and hr, high, often from people who either by an accident or birth, so welby torres can achieve what hes working for. Incident of election who was ecclesiastical authority, they were the ones who were absolute rulers and they would interpret the world for you and you didnt have to worry about it. Well, along comes the guttenberg, along comes literacy [narrator] forget about vacuuming for up to a month. And the reformations, the shark iq robot deepcleans and empties itself european enlightenment and into a base you can empty once a month. Suddenly individuals are at the and unlike standard robots that bounce around, center of the story and are not simply in the audience waiting it cleans row by row. To be told what do and what to if its not a shark, its just a robot. Believe. In the American Revolution, for all its faults, was, in fact, the clearest political manifest occasion of that insight. And so when conservatives say, modernday conservatives say they want to be true to the founding or they want to return to the traditions of the american founding, the central Liberty Mutual customizes your car insurance, hmm. Exactly. Tradition of the american so you only pay for what you need. Nice. But, uh. Founding is that you think for whats up with your. Partner . Not again. Limu thats your reflection. Yourself. You observe whats happening, and you decide what to make of only pay for what you need. It. And you dont simply do what liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty someone else tells you. You dont see. Whyou should be mad that airports are complicated. Way someone else tells you. Hes my emotional support snake. If theyre on a certain cable. But youre not, because you have e trade, network or if they won a certain whose tech isnt complicated. Election. And the fact that no republican it helps you understand the risk and reward potential thinks of that this is worth on an options trade. Looking into suggests to me that dont get mad. Get e trade. Passion and superstition and blind obedience have replaced reason for those people in this moment. Well, great minds think allot. Ed luce, you wrote a column talking about how reason has been replaced by corruption, nepotism, by this blind on see on seek consequence that blows past what the Founding Fathers all talked about that, again, we actually use reason and did not blindly follow a monarch or the dictates of what an autocrat says. Yeah, well my column looks at is the really striking parallels between trumps America Today and the way the president is conducting himself and the sort of right corruption and late midevil rome when they used to buy the popeship. Which it was sort of plagued by one was the sale of office a new poll shows the and one cant but think of majority of americans think gordon sondland, the ambassador donald trump has little or no to the eu and his Million Dollars donation to the trump respect for our democratic inaugural committee. Institutions and traditions. No diplomatic experience. Another is nepotism, which of 61 according to the apnorc poll, including 26 of course popes refused to give republicans. Just 38 of americans think he jobs to their children. And if you think of ivanka trump has a great deal or a fair amount of respect. As first daughter and her husband Jared Kushner as this and the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, 47 of sort of figure in the white house, this is very much within americans approve of the inquiry. The nepotism. 38 disapprove. And the third sin dull gent. On the legality of president the Medieval Catholic Church trumps interactions with would sell indulgence in president zelensky of ukraine, exchange for good works youd get less time in purgatory. 38 believe trump acted illegally. And if you think of the 29 believe he acted legally, but unethically, while 30 extraordinary gap between what the church which was the gospel of christ and how bishops lived believe he has done nothing wrong. In palaces and think of the gap so, jon meacham, this poll, between the elites today, both you file this poll under the trump supporting and trump poll where a majority of americans say they believe their opposing, and the Creative Economy of opportunity, i think president is racist and yet that you see a dominate institution president is still the oddson which is ripe for disruption. Favorite to be reelected next year. If donald trump is alexander the in this case, by land slide 6th, which is the pope, hes the one who sort of breaks that system. Margins americans think this and as jon meacham is very president has no respect or very little respect for the united eloquently putting are creates states constitution, which is of course what we talked about the conditions, the anger every day. Amongst the people. He breaches constitutional norms and for Martin Luther to nail on a weekly basis. Those 95 feces to the door, and yet, again, this president , the majority of americans say is should be said that printing was the Disruptive Technology then. Social media is now, i fear its racist, the overwhelming majorities of americans say he sort of a post literate rather has little or no respect for the than an enlightenment era, constitution is the oddson social media, that were living favorite to be reelected. In. Its a kind of memology. I guess its not so much a question on the president but as but those parallels provide it is the voters of the united very, very stark warning signs states of america. I think a lot of folks as to the world trumps leading probably hear democratic norms us into. As status quo, maybe. Quite a History Lessons from and one of the reasons hes professors luce and meacham this president is weve had 40 years early in the morning. Well done by both of you. Where the working class in the country has not believed that gene robinson, let me stop and they have been advancing as pause and the banner headline in the New York Times about rapidly as they had come to impeachment. This is a historic moment. Im not saying its a good day expect in the post war era. Or bad day, you dont want to there were what . Live in a country where your ten president ial elections between 1980 and 2016 and a bush president semipeechd. But democrats are compelled that they had to do something at this or a clinton was on 80 of those point and this will now move tickets. And so if you come to 2016 and into the public kphase where it youre a bush or clinton and will become more of a show. Youre running against this but what we saw yesterday from republicans to bring it back makes me doubt all the disruptive professional speculation we hear and behind the scenes reporting that there wrestler reality show guy who are cracks in the base, that speaks to a populous unease and some republicans privately are fans it, then its going to end moving away from the president. Up the way it ended up. Theyre upset by what theyve so, i think that a lot of people probably hear norm as status seen publicly, theyre upset by some of the testimony theyve heard in these closed hearings. Because when they go out in quo, as and want change. Public and when they get a chance to vote on this, theres no movement at all from what i find so interesting is republicans. Why would there be any movement at all as this proceeds to an Impeachment Vote and then to a vote perhaps to convict in the its almost anilistic moment. Senate . Republicans have supported President Trump from the beginning and yesterday on the enough folks want to burn down record showed that theyre not going anywhere. The whole system that theyre willing to file this guy who, i thats absolutely right, promise you, if hes willing to willie. After meacham and luce i was going to talk about the code burn down norms which you dont of go for it. Have much respect for, hes or maybe cyrus the great. But instead, ill talk about going to burn down the ones the fires going to spread. This age of cynicism that were its going tend to up doing living in. Something to what you do care about. Its not new that many yeah. And i have no doubt that, and republicans in the house of representatives and many, many few should, that this man would get away with whatever he could republicans in the senate see get away with. Thats why hes pushi
