the back of the houses for children. kids apparently love living there, the relationship between the homes to the streets, the flats or front doors in the street, along the back of the house it's it's really interesting example of what is possible social housing now. and the last we to talk about, the courthouse. it is so strange, entirely made out of cork blocks and avon stuck together, their dispositive by gravity stop we do not really think of court as a building material and this is a real experiment and sustainable design in the blocks were cut and then self built by the people who lived in the house. is this a model that others could have cork houses at the end of it? or is this just could have cork houses at the end of it? or is thisjust in could have cork houses at the end of it? or is this just in architecture thinking they can do it.” it? or is this just in architecture thinking they can do it. i think there are serious about exploring there are serious about exploring the possibility. they bought a cabin a c

all day strong. >>> with the white house now making it clear tonight they will not cooperate with house impeachment inquiry, the stage is set for a constitutional showdown. with president trump's decision to block the appearance of a key player, not to mention a big dollar donor, it's also clear he intends to starve house democrats of witnesses to what actually happened. that said, with the president taketh away a multitude of sources give. every day brings new reporting from inside the white house. note by pamela brown with us tonight with jefferiry toobin and former ohio governor. 2016 presidential candidate. john kasich. when it comes to the white house saying they will not cooperate unless a formal vote is at a taken. is there a from a legal perspective is there anything to that or is this just a stalling tactic. >> the letter is eight pages single paced but it could be summed in a hand gesture which i will not demonstrate. the bred breadth of the objections is so extraordinary it's not we won't provide the witness. it's that we're not cooperating at all. the argument that well you

that includes catholic charities, community housing partnership, swords to plow shares and housing 360. all of those are governed by the one treasure island transition housing plan. and then, we have on the left, we have pre-d.d.a. households. those are households where all members of the household were residing on the island in 2011. we have post-d.d.a. households, which are households where everybody on the lease currently has came to the island after 2011, and we have some mixed households where -- that were originally pre-d.d.a. households and some household members moved out and other household members moved in. so it includes both people who were a resident in 2011 and those who came since 2011. for the one treasure island residents and the one treasure island transition plan, it requires that tida will develop in partnership with one treasure island agencies not less than 435 units, and in fact our first four projects that we're planning to construct will be in partnership with these first housing providers. swords to plow shares is expected to break ground this spring and catho

that is the white house counsel sending a letter to house speaker nancy pelosi and house committee chairman adam schiff, elliott engel and elijah cummings informing the radical dimms there will be no white house cooperation at all with the dimms' illegitimate probe. john roberts with the very latest. reporter: a senior administration official tells fox news that the investigation to the genesis of the russia probe is expected to be released later this month and its findings will be detailed. the justice department inspector general michael horowitz has been looking into whether there were after he biewlses of the fisa system that led to the mueller investigation. sources also say another investigation into the probe, this one headed up by veteran prosecutor "john durham. he added staff and agents and widened the scope of the investigation into the spring of 2017 when robert mueller was appointed special counsel. sphoks news learned mueller was not accurate when he told congress he was not interviewing for the position of fbi director when he net president trump in the oval office in may of

there's not been a formal house vote to authorize it. there was a formal house vote with nixon. they're not required to do it but that's been the custom at least in modern times. we're going to show some of the polling a little bit, but it looks like some consensus in the polling is there is support out there in the impeachment inquiry. do you want democrats to call out that vote and say, fine? >> what we're not going to do is allow the individual who's subject to the investigation to tell us how to investigate. we're in a very serious time, make sure that we give the white house the opportunity to produce documents if he has those documents and show that there's no need to impeach him for what is obvious to us an abuse of his power, a threat to national security and a betrayal of the constitution based upon his actions. so absent that that, then what choice do we have but what i do say, susan, i am talking about all three. obstruction becomes one of the counts that would be included therein with the same thing we talked about as far as betrayal, abuse of power and national secu

watch the house on c-span and the senate on cspan2. earlier the chair of the house intelligence committee reacted to news at a former deputy national security adviser and refuse to attend a deposition on capitol hill related to the impeachment inquiry . here are thechairman's remarks . >> good morning. today doctor cooperman was scheduled to testify as part of the house impeachment inquiry or a previously scheduled deposition. and he was a no-show. this is a deeply regrettable. he was compelled to appear by a lawful congressional subpoena area just within the last few days of course the district court has ruled that the impeachment inquiry is perfectly valid. witnesses like doctor cooperman need to do their duty and show up. i want to complement the nine other witnesses who met similar opposition from the white house, who were instructed by the white house not to appear what on earth their lawful obligations and came forward area did their lawful duty. we appreciate the courage they had shown. and that other witnesses will show you are

it says the house of representatives shall be the sole judge of impeachment. the house. the senate has no business dealing with this. it's just a diversion from the serious information that's come out about trump's abuse of power. >> let's talk about the articles of impeachment. the idea that republicans or democrats are going to focus on abuse of power as their main article of impeachment. during watergate, there were three articles of impeachment. there was obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and the defiance of subpoenas. there are a number of issues with donald trump that a number of democrats think are important to consider, including defiance of subpoenas, violations of the emoluments clause. things like that. what do you think about the strategy? should they stick with abuse of power as it relates to the ukraine issue? because it's easier to understand. >> well, i don't think that the american people are going to have any problem understanding the problems with donald trump. they already get it. the polls show that they're getting it in increasing numbers. the

that's in the white house statement. and that this still doesn't grant the president his due process rights. how do you respond? >> we have been proceeding in a serious and solemn and sober fashion, consistent with our constitutional responsibilities and will continue to do that. this impeachment inquiry from the very beginning is simply about following the facts, applying the law, being guided by the united states constitution and presenting the truth to the american people. and the resolution that we will be voting on thursday is consistent with that direction. >> any doubts whether or not it will pass? do you have the 218 votes for sure that you need? >> it is my expectation that the overwhelming majority of the house democratic caucus will support our effort to continue to move forward to this next phase of the impeachment inquiry which will allow for the public presentation of evidence as well as give the president the opportunity to present any exculpatory information that he may have, which, by the way, wolf, has

as a senior accounting officer responsible for the house and all be house staff and the doorkeeper is and security offices for looking after us and enabling the house to get together on saturday to do our work, and also the police and security services who have escorted right honourable and honourable members and their families on their way home and keeping us safe. can i thank the leaderfor the keeping us safe. can i thank the leader for the business statement. keeping us safe. can i thank the leaderfor the business statement. i was obviously disappointed that the leader did not give me notice on saturday that he was going to make a point of order. he will know that a point of order. he will know that a point of order is not the way to alter business, it is a procedural motion of the house on which mr speaker can rule. so it would have been helpful if the leader of the house could have done so. he will know that on that historic day, 24 points of order on his point of order were made and my first question to him would be, why did he leave the chamber when he couldn't hear the rest of

he's getting ready to leave the white house again this hour, practically daring the house speaker to impeach him. the white house ready to send her a letter maybe today defying today's document deadline. as thor the bomb shells, plural, dropping overnight, the text messages that seem to show u.s. ambassadors making the ukrainian president's visit to the white house contingent on investigating the president's political opponents. we'll tell you why house democrats are so mad. we've got our team on the hill, and slooalong with analysis. jeff ben it is on the hill where we just saw the intelligence inspector walk in. josh lederman is here with new reporting on the text messages. >> jeff, let me start with you, the intelligence community inspector general just walking in, right? >> yeah, right past us about 20 minutes ago, hallie. and michael adkinson is the inspector general who determined that the whistle-blower complaint was urgent and credible. so he is likely to give members of the house intelligence committee during this briefing, he is likely to give them the fullest accounting of

it should be voted down today by this house. i totally understand the frustration and fatigue across the country and in this house, but we simply cannot vote for a deal that is even worse than the one that was rejected three times. the government's own economic analysis shows of this deal would make the poorest regions even poorer. and cost each person in this country over 2000 pounds a year. if we vote for a deal that makes our constituents poorer, we are not likely to be forgiven for doing that. mr. speaker, the government is claiming that if we support their deal, it will get brexit done. and that backing them today is the only way to stop a no deal. i simply say, nonsense. supporting the government this afternoon would merely fire the starting pistol in a race to the bottom in regulation and standards. and if anyone had any doubts about this, we only have to listen to what their own honorable members have been saying, like the one yesterday who let the cat out of the bag, saying that members should back this deal as it means

this coming after a house panel subpoenaed the white house for ukraine-related documents. meanwhile, secretary of state mike pompeo and the state department missed the friday deadline that house democrats set to respond to their own subpoena as he continues to face scrutiny for his department's contact with ukrainian officials. >> that's the direction of the president. we're very focused on creating space that we could ultimately deliver a good relationship with this new government. that was my guidance all along. we have all known there's been corruption in ukraine. the united states government has been engaged in trying to push back corruption in ukraine for quite some time. jon: ellison barber has the latest. >> president trump has repeatedly disparaged the impeachment inquiry. he maintains he did nothing wrong and claims his actions have nothing to do with politics, but a second intelligence official was reportedly alarmed by president trump's dealings with ukraine. the "new york times" citing two people briefed on the matter says the official is weighing whether to fi

> the house is totally on fire. it's on fire. >> reporter: when firefighters arrived, the big red house was a wall of flames. they had no idea if anyone was still inside. >> does anyone live there? >> yes, yes, there are kids. >> do you know if they're out of the house? >> i don't know. >> reporter: neighbors knew paul wasn't there. he was living in an apartment three hours away with his new girlfriend. that morning he got a call from catherine's pastor. >> picked it up and it was pastor phyllis and she goes, "where are the kids? where are the kids?" and i'm like they're with me. what's going on? she goes, "the house is on fire." >> reporter: firefighters worked for hours dousing the flames. when catherine's friend sue muller arrived, the fire was still raging. she stood vigil for hours, waiting to hear news of her friend. >> all of the sudden the firemen were all concentrated in one area, looking down into the basement, and then the local funeral home was there with the body bag. and i saw them bring the body bag d

there will be homeless housing and rental housing units and what's changing today is just rearranging of the grey blocks in that triangels in the cp center. of course, one of the most important aspects of the bmr program are the people who live there and so there is a robust set of occupancy projects that will govern the housing projects. there are additional phases for any previous householding that left and want to come back. so oci staff is working hard to think of ways to increase our outreach to certificate of preference holders and we'll be coming back before you in a month for our annual cop program report but i'll give you a sneak preview of some of the things looking at are ways to continue to improve and increase our outreach range, including ways to use social media. we're looking into trying to create an inner active map to allow potential cop holders to see more easily if they resided in an address that is eligible to receive a certificate of reference and, of course, we are going to continue to implement our recent practise of income tiering through properties, proe proj

it is in need of new housing. the project will provide 193 rentals which will be available to our -- available to our very diverse community including seniors students and family. as looking -- excuse me, as working in the field as a construction worker, prior to becoming an organizer i look forward to helping workers who work in the communities especially those with kids. i am encouraging you to move the 65 ocean avenue project forward as quickly as possible. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> hello commissioners. i actually live in district 11. i'm here to let you know that i want this project to go forward. i'm an apprentice and member of local 22. i'm speaking on this project like they're saying, it's going to be a very beautiful project keeping the kids in the community when they're building that, giving us our jobs that we need. it's providing me the opportunity to finish my training so i can become a journeyman carpenter and keep building towards my retirement and future apprentices. it's prov

i urge the house to reject this measure and i urge the house to insist on bipartisan procedures that respect the rights of the minority and the right of due process. with that, madam speaker, i yield one minute to the distinguished republican leader, mr. mccarthy of california. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mccarthy: i thank the entleman for yielding. madam speaker, elections have consequences. our fellow americans used their vote to choose who will work for them. so i ask you-all a simple question. especially to my colleagues. is that what is happening here today? are we gathered these final moments before we depart for a week to fund our government? to pay our troops? are we gathered today to prove a new trade deal? are we gathered to debate the critical national security ssues regarding china or iran? that answer would be unanimously no. we are not working for the american people. those items would resemble the achievements of a productive congress. a congress that truly works for the people. but you know what this congress counts? this congress records

the clerk: house calendar number 48. house resolution 646. resolved, that at any time after doption of this resolution the speaker may, pursuant to clause 2-b of rule 18, declare the house resolved into the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for consideration of the bill, h.r. 2513, to ensure that persons who form corporations or limited liability companies in the united states disclose the beneficial owners of those corporations or limited liability companies, in order to revent wrongdoers from exploiting united states corporations and limited liability companies for criminal gain, to assist law enforcement in detecting, preventing, and punishing terrorism, money laundering, and other misconduct involving united states corporations and limited liability companies, and for other purposes. the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. all points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. general debate shall be confined to the bill and amendments specified in this resolution and shall not exceed one hou

legislators went to the house and said mr. president, the case against you is irrefutable, you don't have the votes, it is time for you to go. famously, barry goldwater is asked by president nixon whether there were the votes on a potential article and he said yes, mr. president, there are and frankly i would probably vote for it myself. i do want to suggest the republicans and the nixon period were eager to impeach nixon are they were always rigorously neutral, they were not. but they behaved as we would expect american-statesman to behave. facts,re interested in they were prepared to make hard judgments even when against their own political party. help thatat least congress in present day might take a lesson for those guys. impeachmentory of in the age of trump, mark bowman -- frank bowman is joining us. west virginia, good morning, ed. caller: good morning. it sounds to me as though the democrats are investigating the president for impeachment. can even get their appeal. host: let me stop you. --t republicans guest: despite

number one, have a bill in the house -- vote in the house to approve the impeachment inquiry. let's do it out in the open. i believe it should be held with the judiciary committee. i believe that's where the american people should see what those depositions are and they should say where those depositions are leading. unfortunately, speaker pelosi has decided to set new precedent and unfortunately what it's going to do, it's going to create an environment where no matter who wins an election for president, if the house of representatives is controlled by another party, this may become the new common status quo. i don't think that's right. >> some of the rules i understand were set by ongressman boehner when he was in charge and even the -- what do you think of the security risk posed by the members doing what they did. rep. davis: i certainly hope members don't pose security risks. that is the most secure facility we have in congress. i know my colleagues had their phones rounded up and they were taken out. so that's a good thing. in the end, what we have to do is also take a s

peter alexander is over at the white house. mike, tell us what you're hearing from your sources inside biden world. >> reporter: hallie, what i'm hearing is this what they saw in terms of the split screen, this contrast between the president and their view increasingly unnerved and unhinged as he's feeling the weight of the pressure of this investigation on capitol hill and now legal troubles closing in on his lawyer, rudy giuliani, versus the statesman like way that you see the former vice president talking about the issues that matter to voters. this is a point biden made in a tweet directed at the president. he said while he was at the forum in los angeles yesterday talking about the fundamental dignity that all americans deserve, the president is, as he put it, showing little respect he has for anyone else. america is so much stronger than your weakness. now, hallie, it's also interesting we talked the other day about the speech the vice president gave in new hampshire, much more direct taking on the president on these issu

hill to tell white house lawyers. that is devastating. >> yeah. >> this entire story here really putting things in perspective. certainly ms. hill's testimony today, according to this story in "the new york times," is going to raise a lot of eyebrows. this is -- this quote from her "drug deal -- i'm not going to be part of whatever drug deal rudy and mulvaney are cooking up." this obviously brings bolton into the center of this. we need to hear from him. >> they're reporting that bolton called rudy giuliani a hand grenade that would blow everything up. she said that during an earlier conversation. frank, i want to bring this in -- bring you in because he's quoting what they said here. bolton told fiona hill to report to giuliani's rogue operation to the white house, to white house lawyers saying, i'm not part of whatever drug deal rudy and mulvaney are cooking up. to tell white house lawyers, according to the testimony. what do you make of that? >> this language is extraordinary. this drug deal. rudy giuliani is a han

we need to balance new affordable housing, public housing, and ten knit based housing choice vouchers within this limited pool of subsidy. there's nowhere near enough to cover even a portion of all those needs. the federal government must also help us address the issue of underproduction of extremely low income housing because while the tax credit program is incredibly important, it just is not designed to produce extremely low income housing and, therefore, that's where we see our biggest gap. beyond housing production we must put more effort into the prevention of homelessness and the preservation of all affordable rent-stabilized and other subsidized rental housing must be prioritized. while these are largely issues at the local and state level and our local government and state government must make preservation more of a priority, we also need targeted federal investment to make this a comprehensive effort. prevention of homelessness also requires increase tenant protections and proactive enforcement of those protections. tenants too far regularly face unjust and illegal eviction

everyone testified the same thing that white house aid white house meeting with the newly elected ukrainian president shell e zelensky and u.s. military assistance to ukraine was contingent upon ukraine launching these investigations into the biden's burisma and 2016 interference. so what the democrats are hoping to do now is keeping up this momentum continuing to call witnesses who further corroborate all of this. so far as i mention the only outlier seems to be sondland who said no one raised alarms internally about the back channel that he, guiliani and curt volker were pursuing. what democrats are doing now is focusing all of their attention on the ukraine scandal as a part of the impeachment story because it's the simple story they can tell the american people. when you tell the simplest story, you opposition. >> the tore is simple. david. and the story has a lot of evidence drawn from people who are trump loyalists. as natasha mentions, mr. sonlands may have cleaning up to do or disagree with others. but this army officer, diplomats, appointed to key depositions by trump, john bolton,

his attorney and the white house lawyers, the house lawyers about how this should proceed. cupperman said i can't figure this out. the white house and the house disagree. he's having them all in on thursday. that's pretty quick. having them all in on thursday. so presumably so he can decide this matter soukuperman can testify or not testify. so that gives you an idea of how the courts are even speeding this up. >> jeff -- >> if i'm not mistaken -- anderson, i think that the house already continues to have depositions scheduled to the middle of november. there are depositions being held out to the middle of november. seeing how things are going to move much quicker. if they're not wrapping up by the end -- you get thanksgiving, christmas, in the new year. pretty quickly here. taking depositions throughout the end of november doesn't seem like you're going to get things wrapped up too quickly. >> jeff, the house can structure the rules any way they want in terms of the actual opening hearings. are you encouraged that it's going to be staff members asking the questions or that

housing? >> we only utilize measure h for capital construction to a very limited degree. >> most of your money is spent on supportive services? >> actually rental subsidies. >> how much money have you spent on rental subsidies? >> in the prior year we spent over $100 million. >> did that come from the -- >> from measure h. >> from h? >> from measure h. >> how much money again? >> over $100 million for rapid housing and permanent supportive housing. >> how did you spend the permanent supportive money? do you cooperate with the city of los angeles for example, who may be building low-income housing, permanent housing? do you coordinate with them in order to provide the money for supportive services? >> yes, absolutely. >> give me an example of that. >> the county has a memorandum of understanding with the city of los angeles where we've committed to provide intensive case management services for the tenants in 10,000 units of permanent supportive housing with the city of los angeles is committed

preservation of existing affordable housing has to be just as important as building new affordable housing in our city. the small sites acquisition program is just an incredible, incredible opportunity to do just that. yes, it may seem like six units is small, but just think about what six units means to the families who live here. who had this bill -- had this building been purchased, they may not have been able to continue to live here. this is an opportunity to not only protect the existing community that is here, but to maintain affordability on this building permanently. that is what our small sites acquisition program has done to date. we have been able to preserve 278 units in 34 buildings, with 110 more units in the pipeline and another 12 buildings and that has been absolutely incredible. supervisor mar has been a champion for this program and identifying properties all over our district. i want to give a shout out for supervisor sandy fewer who is also really helping to push and highlight this program, which has led to us adding an additional $75 million to help with small sites

housing market. facilitating entry into financially responsible home ownership. without fha, mortgage insurance as an option, millions of lower and middle income families would lack access to affordable mortgage credit. take for instance a typical fha borrower. last year, they were 39 years old, had a credit score of 666, purchased a home for $221,000. first time home buyers represent 83% of fha's purchase volume while 57% of the mortgage endorsements were for low or moderate income individuals and 34% were minorities. in addition to helping borrowers buy their first home, we also want them to stay in their homes. our plan calls on fha to improve its servicing by creating more flexible loss mitigation processes. we're also working to get a more diverse base of lenders back into the fha program. depository institutions which represented nearly half of fha's lender base in 2010 today represent just 15%. to provide regulatory certainty to lenders so that they'll return to offering fha loans, we are revi

house walls in a second. frank, to the first bit of recording that sondland didn't text back five hours and what he did do, call up the president and say, what's going on? >> right. >> what do you make of that? >> well, he was concerned about what was going on and one of the reasons why they're trying to block his testimony. whatever he has to say is not going to flatter the president. it's not going to wlook good an they don't want it going before the house committee. i don't know how long they can suckside in this. he's not the last person they'll try to block. everything trump said to the effect of i have nothing to hide, i'm so out in the open on this i'm going to invite china to get in on the action, it's ridiculous. they want to hide it all, because around him and i think somewhere in him he knows this is really, really damning stuff. >> i spoke to a republican source who said, yes, the white house is saying they blocked sondland's testimony because they want pelosi who hold a vote on the impeachment in

should she hold a house vote? which give republicans a chance to subpoena and be part of the process. >> two things -- there are no fixed sets of rules because you've gone through this a few times in our nation's history. we recommend they go back and see how the republicans handle it when bill clinton was impeached. if there was a vote then, only vote now. that way it's being equal hande handed. >> harris: does that equal handed, or looking back and equaling scores? evening that out? no rules today, is there room for fairness? >> i hope so. that's what we are striving for. look, if he's demanding a vote and there is a vote held before, go ahead and do it. that's not that big a deal. find out what the facts are and they could have the ultimate vote, which matters. which is whether to go forward with the impeachment itself. >> harris: so you are leaning heavily on precedents, and you know the charges against joe biden's son, hunter biden, and the allegations of access. special treatment, because biden was vice pres

-- one of many that the white house has to answer. they're really at an inflection point here. the quote you put up from jason miller, viewers should understand that jason miller has been one of the stout trump defenders for several years here. to hear him on the record questioning the white house strategy is significant. we reported at the "wall street journal" a few days ago that it was the white house freedom caucus, a group of conservative lawmakers who are the staunchest trump supporters in congress had to go to the white house and say, hey, we're not hearing enough from you, we're not having enough messaging, we don't understand the strategy, and that led to a daily phone call between lawmakers and key lawmakers on the hill and senior white house aides. the white house is stuck between trying to say that they did nothing wrong, that they don't want to participate and their allies saying you have to do more, you have to participate, you have to help us help you. >> mithanks to both of you. appreciate it. >>> still ahead, the whit

engel, they subpoenaed the white house and vice president mike pence for documents related to the house impeachment investigation. this came after repeated requests for the documents earlier this week that were ignored. we also learned overnight, from bloomberg, that following the first whistle-blower complaint, the president ordered a substantial staff reduction at the national security council. that's according to five people familiar with those plans. but that's not all for you. also, within the past 24 hours, u.s. officials tell nbc news that the c.i.a.'s top lawyer courtney simmons elwood made what she considered to be a criminal referral to the justice department about the whistle-blower's allegations that president trump abused his office in pressuring the ukrainian president. okay, lots to get to. we will get straight to our panel. hands nichols, chief ethics white house lawyer under george bush, and ed rendell and msnbc legal analyst barbara, and we will start with hans nichols. hans, we have a lot to cover here. let's get to first potentially this second whistle-blower. what d

noise in the house. i would also remark, mr speaker, that you have invade against most unusual things happening in this house which you did not like, and i would say it is most unusual for a speaker so often to prevent the government having debated which the government having debated which the government wish to put before the house, and it has also been one of your mantras, mr speaker, that the house should be permitted to express its view, even when it comes to changing the meaning of standing orders, and yet you have denied the opportunity of the house to express its view on this matter, because this motion, this motion was never voted on on saturday. shouts out from the house. no, no... iwant honourable gentleman to be heard, as he must be, fully and without fear or favour, and i know he will allow me the courtesy an uninterrupted response. sir bernard jenkin. because this motion was never voted upon, it ceased to exist as soon as it was amended, and i am, i confess, mr speaker, surprised that the re

what we're telling the house, 41 of house, there is a right way to do this and a wrong way to do it. and let me tell you about being a juror. i sat there for five weeks in the senate, and a juror made a motion to dismiss. in a court of law, juries can't get up and say, i want to dismiss the case. so this is one part legal and two part politics. what i'm trying to tell republicans out there, that it is ok for the republican party to insist that donald trump be treated fairly. a lot of senators are going to tell you, since i may be a juror, i don't want to comment on substance. but i'm hoping we can get most republicans to comment on the idea that the impeachment proceedings, as currently constituted in the house, are unfair and dangerous. reporter: should they use closed door depositions during the clinton impeachment, why was it ok but not now? senator graham: in october, 1998, we authorized impeachment as the body with 31 members saying, do an inquiry. some were behind closed doors. but the inquiry itself became very public. we had the starr hearing to start it off with. but the pre

>> i wrote the book on the white house chiefs and the subtitle was how the white house chiefs define every presidency, except this one. i was wrong about this one because this is a president who is determined to be unleashed, who doesn't take advice and we've now seen the results of letting trump be trump. >> wow. go ahead, gloria. >> and worse than that, chris, is that i don't think he know when is he needs to take advice. i think early on he was interested in taking advice and then as he continued as president, he said, wait a minute, and this is my reporting to people who talked to him he said, you know, i got this. it's okay. i don't really need a chief of staff to tell me anything because i know how to do things, i'm counterconventional, i'm going to do things my way, and then it becomes a real problem for him. and that's why, as you bring this around to the whole ukraine issue and impeachment, this is a president who wouldn't listen to what people were telling him he ought to be saying on these phone calls with foreign leaders opinion he freelanced and then you have that phone
