Who will be here every hour tonight to get a special extra elie edition to answer your questions about impeachment. let s start with this question from a viewer asking if house democrats made a mistake by bringing in article of impeachment for abuse of power, but not specifically on a crime like bribery. very common question this week. legally, no. no mistake whatsoever. i ve said this before. you don t need a crime to impeach. we have this phrase in our constitution. high crimes and misdemeanors but our president made clear that abuse of power is enough. now tactically, there can be second guessing here. i think what house democrats decided is that it s broader. easier to prove than having to get into the legal weeds and semantics and extortion and quid pro quo and i believe they thought abuse of power really captures what donald trump did. he used the office of presidency for his own personal gain. the b problem is that it s let democrats open by a strong ....
Credible. the man who is essentially connecting so many dots. and republicans very much want to be tearing into him but the b problem is that they re going to be sort of questioning an attacking his credibility, raising him, elevating him as that much more of a central character in this. but that just puts more of f a slight on the fact that fact president trump was talking to him on a regular basis about quid pro quo. he s the center of that. so the republicans sh, president trump can t dismiss sondland as this minor figure. i don t know who he is. who is that person? he s such a center of this. in fact, sondland came up again in new temperature just released this weekend from tim morrison. who testified that the president told sondland that the ukrainian president must announce he was opening investigations to receive the aid. here s how republican congressman mike turner reacted ....
Trump a day after flynn s firing when he told trump quote, the russia thing is far from over and trump said this to him. what do you mean, flynn met with the russia ps, that was the b problem, i fired flynn, it s over. gloria? how did that work out? he thought it was a good idea because democrats would support it and it would create the big storm it created. so you know, kushner and christie don t get along well because christie prosecuted jared kushner s father. we know that history. but i think if you go through chris christie s book, one of the threads you will see is that these are people who didn t understand washington. ....
Not only do a large percentage of americans distrust the press, a very large proportion of americans, more than 50% of republicans do. we re in a dangerous place there. because one shouldn t be undermining the press s constitutional rights to do what it does. one should be able to criticize the press and we re mix iing th two up here. absolutely. and the way in which we re criticizing the press and criticizing the exercise of free speech is incredibly dangerous. the use of the word treason is a big deal. it is a capital offense. one of the only crimes laid out in the constitution for crimes against the state and crimes for conspireing with enemies that no reasonable human being would think anyone at the new york times or anyone at the white house gets criticized of doing. the b problem here is it s not a national security problem. it s an hr problem with people who don t like their boss. ....
And they know that you can t take him on his word. so how these farmers and manufacturers can rely on donald trump, it doesn t make sense that s how the world is looking at us. jared, go ahead. i think there s actually even a more fundamental b problem. or at least a more fundamental misunderstanding of what globalization is in 2018. it s no longer the case. i m sure this is the way donald trump thinks of it. that everybody s in their isolated space, making their own goods and try iing to sell them into global markets. in fact, globalization is now this incredible omelet of supply chains you can t unscrabble. if you actually look at american r cars, in a sense sh every american car is an imr port ed car because it has imported parts. one of the american cars with the most, with the most domestic content is the honda odyssey. the largest bmw plant in the ....
