foreign minister of the ukraine said there was no pressure in that phone call whatsoever. julie: adam schiff. congress hasn t had a transcript of the phone call. joe biden is calling for a transcript of the phone call since biden s name is dragged through this. what do you make of schiff threatening to defund intel community. that is quite a threat and not necessarily the smallest threat i would imagine to defund the intel community until the whistle-blower details are disclosed. is he playing with fire here? i really think he is. if you look at it we have so many things going on right now in the country whether it s north korea, iran, china, even russia. the very notion that you are going to defund our intelligence apparatus, that doesn t even make sense. if he wants to find it he needs to go somewhere else. he won t get support. i can t imagine him getting

impeachment proceedings right now. julie: is jumping on the impeachment train do you believe a positive strategy for democratic candidates? the way to think about impeachment. no one really likes to speak honestly about this topic. impeachment is a political process. do i believe the president has done things that could justify impeachment? absolutely. but impeachment is a political process. nancy pelosi knows more about this decision than all of the 2020 candidates combined. i believe we should be following her lead. the one thing that nancy pelosi always says. i ve heard her say this 100 times, she says public sentiment is everything. and i don t believe she will pursue impeachment until she sees that the public sentiment is behind her. she may be forced to do it to get information. bill: she doesn t have a consensus yet and a debate inside the party. i want to share something with
