they re impeaching me and there are no crimes! this has to be a first in history. they re impeaching me. you know why? because they want to win an election, and that s the only way they can do it. they re embarrassed by the impeachment, and our poll numbers have gone through the roof because of her stupid impeachment. that was president trump at a rally in pennsylvania last night, trying to show strength there. my panelists are back. i m also joined by one of our nbc reporters, heidi press bella. let me quickly start with you, heidi. you know, the president has decided to wrap his arms around impeachment as a campaign tactic. the campaign has used it i think quite effectively when it comes to raising money and things like that. look, the polling he s not adding any new people, but he certainly is increasing the increasing the intensity of his suppo support. it kind of feels like they have
laughing at the fire there. he is standing in the way of all of this, he is like ha ha, look, you can t get it done. if you wanted to get that stuff done, he can point the finger at himself. it is an insight into how he is going to play this, what he is going to say to voters. he is a master of distraction. at any moment saying look over there, don t look at me and my lies and look at the argument how i mislead the american public, how i have not faithfully executed office of president, the oath he took. yeah, he is the master of distraction for sure. seems to be one issue the democrats are completely united on, almost at least, almost all democrats. we ll see what joe biden has to say coming up. faiz, i want you to come back, talk about the wealth tax and what it means for the campaign. come back on a day we re not swamped with impeachment news. we appreciate it. thank you, katie. appreciate it. joining me, heidi press bell
democratic leaders and democratic caucus at 4:00 p.m. nbc news is reporting as heidi said she will open an impeachment inquiry. what is the white house saying? white house just responded, we had a fiery tweet from president trump. i got this tweet. the democrats continue to weaponize politics when they should be working on behalf of constituents which is nothing new. president trump is working hard on behalf of our country here in new york city while they continue to scream the word impeachment. nothing new here. is this a good or bad day for the president politically speaking? remains to be seen. some believe this will guarantee his re-election. the president himself is more torn. he will now have the i word attached to him. i think that s not something that he wants. i think it will make it very difficult to legislate. i think that it is mixed. but it is a remarkable turn of events, look how we got here.
other candidate for president in the future when it comes to issue of medical records, of statements from doctors, it kind of does raise a point that this letter that came out from bornstein in 2016 is the extreme example about these letters from doctors. they can be very it is an extreme example you about these letters from doctors can be subjective and there is no official standard they are held to. even among health experts these opinions can vary. this was very, very vague, but there have been some ethics experts who said this is a good example of why we need an independent board of doctors or a duo considered end doctors to review the presidential candidates. heidi press bella, thank you for your time. we want to get to a trip down memory lane here back to one of the last major wave elections in american history. i has a lot to do with what s playing out right now.
