adam schiff repeated of course. but susan collins some say is a republican on the defense, lisa murkowski, they both -- lisa actually yelled not true in the senate which is not like people in the senate. lisa murkowski said that is over the top. that's when you lost me. did adam schiff come in with a clean slate or is he known as pinocchio. >> he is insulting. we know he's the white house counsel that brought up 2017 interview where he said we have all the information, this is not just information circumstantial, we know what the president did. so he has been saying these conspiracy theories all along that we have secret information on the president and we know his motives and we got what we need and over and over again. it is not true. he is not saying what is actually factual he's trained to spin something and that was shown clearly today whether it was white house meeting that even in the phone call the president zelensky said why don't we just meet in poland instead in the house managers locked apart. but it was

>> that is a great question for adam schiff. a great question, how do the house managers, how did the house send over documents to begin the impeachment when they're still in violation of their own resolution which by the way was set up after the fact. i think the president's lawyers did a great job yesterday showing how the sham impeachment started by nancy pelosi deeming it to happen. had to be corrected when they house resolution 660, passed it almost month 1/2 later. that shows they're still in violation of their on rules. it is a onerous attack by democrats who had only one thing in mind, let's impeach the president. remember nancy pelosi's words he is impeached for life. he will never get rid of this. that sounds like a somebody on vend quetta than find the truth because the truth is he did nothing wrong. maria: ted cruz said on the program he will be acquitted for life. by the way, that was from senator cruz. let me ask you where this is going, how does monday, tomorrow, play out? do you have any sense what your colleague

and adam schiff's inspector obsessions. they should be the first two witnesses. >> if the whistleblower was involved in this meeting with the bidens and dealing with was close toand hebo biden and these issues, it's interesting that once someone phone call. and adam schiff's inspector obsessions. they should be the first two witnesses. >> if the whistleblower was involved in this meeting with the bidens and dealing withow hunter biden and he was close to biden and these issues, it's interesting that once someonene asked questions about the becomes a whistleblower. that's why it's important that we ask questions. adam schiff demanded we hear from the whistleblower until that precise moment when it was revealed he coordinated with the whistleblower. why was he so concerned about people finding out about hunter biden's role in barisma and why he was not more alarmed by hunter biden's role to blow the whistle on that. >> laura: on msnbc claire didn't think mcconnell wants these two people to testify. >> in the republicans wante

today as you point out we had to listen to adam schiff for over four hours, the same adam schiff who told us there is more than circumstantial evidence of collusion, the same adam schiff who said the fisa process was fine and the nunez memo was inaccurate. we have not talked to the whistleblower. the same adam schiff who had the parity at the hearing, the same adam schiff who misled the american people yesterday with the text messages. we are supposed to believe, that he is telling us the truth. >> the president's defense, as reflect the court of public opinion until saturday. rob: foxholes alert, the deadly coronavirus could be declared a global health emergency. it will take center stage in the world health organization meeting. jillian: a mysterious outbreak killing 7 people and sickening 570 in eight countries. aishah hasnie joins us at the airport start screening passengers. >> contacting those passengers that were on the same flight as a patient in washington state. we will get to that, china making this unprecedented move to try to quarantine an entire city, they shutdown all

schiff performance so far our. >> adam schiff's speech was one of of the most compelling i have heard. it was a tour de force, i think a good number of my republican colleagues for the first time throughout the entire arguments, they heard them powerfully, succinctly, and completely. and i am hopeful that can begin to change minds. >> shannon: so senator kennedy also from louisiana said he did learn and hear new things today that he was not aware of. speak up well yeah, because the senate didn't follow every thing that happened in the house, that is the purpose of the trial. that is why we are so anxious to have our day in court, this has not been a fair fight until now, the president has an exceptional team in place. they will put on that case, i think they will condense a lot of the american people of the ty happened here and the senate as well. that story you had a few moments ago about impeachment fatigue in iowa, when democrats in iowa are tired of hearing about this that is not a good sign for the impeachment managers on the democrat side. they are doing more harm than good for

>> adam schiff, adam schiff is clearly scared that his case is so weak. adam schiff made the decision to withdraw the subpoenaed. subpoena. this is an unfair unconstitutional and half-baked set of impeachment articles that was sent over to the senate. >> when you talk about relevance, one, it's interesting to the question if john bohn said it it must be true even though the the present said it didn't happen, we don't take that. the interesting issue is these are all all the atom schiff whu started when he had his witnesses. i have a question for you. why wouldn't adam schiff be relevant as a witness when he met with the whistleblower before he became public, they want the whistleblower out there but when it became public that in metal or staff at contact then it's relevant -- irrelevant. what they wanted to do, clock on the account in house. you can make all the arguments that if she did it in the senate right now but go back because i've heard you talk mclynn and nixon. in clinton there was almost three years of a star report in which the question, white

what you saw was adam schiff playing adam schefter videos and making adam schiff's come his last comment of the night was telling because he had to make up something again. he did it to the republican senate and they don't put up with us. he said your heads are going to be on a and they literally all said no one told us that if we oppose the president. who would believe that when you've got senator rand paul and mike leake, they question the president. go to the media and openly question the president unlike the other side, they have no issues with that. i feel like that's the adam schiff that they forget when they come over to the u.s. senate and they go on the floor and they tell those 53 republicans with a guy told last night was about actually their head or the president is a dictator or it's about make ukraine great again and all of those ukrainians we can learn so much from. the truth is, sean, it's wonderful to have allies and is nothing against ukraine. we don't want to ever be like ukraine. i don't want to be dependent on other countries for my security or be debated around like

adam schiff knows the facts. trish: a guest saying he would hate to see him when he's not trying. remember this anti-trump hit piece? >> 11u.s. troops were actually hurt. the president actually said no troops were hurt. you remember president trump told the flub were no casualties -- told the public there were no casualties. trish: now jim acosta is taking his turn at it. here is a reminder on how far this guy is. no migrants trying to rush towards this fence. >> i'm not negotiating with you. i'll let congress take care of that. president trump: that's enough. >> pardon me, ma'am. you are attack our news organization. can you give us a chance? trish: it's official, all democrat candidates have crazy border policies. even joe biden says we should not deport illegals convicted of drunk driving which can be a felony. former trump accounting i.c.e. director tom homan is here to react to it. things you can do with schwab: you can earn more when you invest your cash. you can get a satisfaction guarantee. you can also w

now, why did adam schiff do that? because he knows that there is an important qualitative difference between asking someone, whether it is a foreign power or not, to manufacture a case out of whole cloth. a verses asking an investigation to be done that cries out to be done because there is an objective reason to suspect corruption. so, by doing that, schiff clearly put an issue here, whether president trump was asking zelensky to make something up, to manufacture something, or whether there really was something authentically to be concerned about in connection with the biden dealings in ukraine. that is common sense, and in any court in the united states, if a party to disputed that, you could inconceivably take the position that i want to keep the bidens out of this, and out the same time, do something that made them centrally relative to the case. >> chris wallace here. i am a little bit confused about this whole issue whether they are going to trade witness for witness or not, because in the end, it really isn't u

adam schiff said the fisa process was just fine. adam schiff said we would hear from the whistleblower. it should not surprise us what he and nadler are asserting. the facts are on the president's side. the constitution is on the president's side and the unfair process is another great argument the white house can make. what they did in the house was very unfair to the president. >> laura: one thing they alleged is that the president doesn't really care about corruption in other countries. watch. >> the fact that the president only wanted a public announcement and not the investigations to actually be conducted. demonstrates that his desire for investigations was to boost his reelection efforts. >> laura: this is what the president said in 2016 when he was running for president about foreign aid. >> my foreign policy will always put the interests of the american people and american security above all else. i will also be prepared to deploy america's economic resources, financial leverage and sanctions can be very, very persuasive. >

who gets the credit, nancy pelosi, adam schiff? unlikely. >> no, and we talked about this before, laura, take the broadview, president to preside over this peace and prosperity are normally shoe ins for reelection. donald trump has some of the stylistic issues, some of his supporters don't like of his tweets and the like, but you look at the issues, the economy, you mentioned his approval rating, the real clear politicsw average is near all-time high. the approval on the economy, the number one or number two issue on the minds of all voters, is ten points higher -- his approval rating among hispanics is 47% on the economy. so you can really see that there is strength, fundamentally underlying trump's reelection. i think the democrats noticed that. i don't think it necessarily has come up with a plan for combating it yet. trump is in pretty good shape right now. if the economy stays where it is and his approval rating on the economy states that high, he's going to be tough to beat. >> laura: when you think about this witnesses quest

i'm told adam schiff is again back doing it more. now, if i was a terrible host, i would force you to endure watching the regurgitation, the repetition. put it up for a second. the insanity that has gone on all day, america, 24 hours of never ending babbling, repetitive talking points over what was nothing and, by the way, remember he sent the new evidence about lev parnas over to the senate in the 29th hour? in that letter he said quid pro quo and hunter zero experience got the prosecutor fired they did nothing wrong. really? okay. keep talking to yourself. no matter what happens in the coming days, always remember congressman jim jordan's four irrefutable facts that will never change. he will join us. one we have a transcript of phone conversation the president released. actually, two phone conversations, with him amend president zelensky. aid was never mentioned. it was never any linkage between biden, u.s. aid and the call. number two, jim jordan, both trump and president zelensky said there was no pressure, zero pressure, linkag

what do you think of adam schiff? >> what's fascinating web said yesterday or the day before, the evidence is overwhelming and compelling and incriminating. then why is it they have to call additional witnesses to try to prove their case. they had the opportunity to call any witness they wanted to and now they are claiming foul in the senate that was and the fair process. but we are going to argue the evidence is overwhelming, compelling and incriminating. trish: they had their chance. >> well, he told the american people the reason why they are doing this. they know they can't beat trump at the ballot box in 2020. they have to impeach the president of the united states for a phone call to a foreign leader because they know they can't beat him in 2020. trish: one of the complaints he made was this president was flying the face of u.s. policy. he seems to forget the people of america elected the president to set foreign policy. >> 63 million americans voted for the president because of all the great things he's doing.

or is that adam schiff overreacting. we have some sounds of shim on the weekend shows complaining about the big ole * threat. he was all sort of weekend shows telling "meet the press" how awful this was and the president was threatening him. joining me right now is indiana congressman jim banks. history won't take kindly to him. >> election day is not going to be kind to adam schiff and house democrats either, i believe. the evidence for that is growing day by day. as the american people see this process for what it is. that's the ultimate price that adam schiff will pay. adam schiff should pay a bigger price for the hell and the mud he has drug this country through during the past year. if that is a threat, then adam schiff can take it that way. but the american voters will pay the price on election day. >> i would like to know where adam schiff was when the republicans were getting those threats. those were threats when kirstjen nielsen was getting kicked out of a mexican restaurant because there was a group chanting a

adam schiff had his best day he ever had in politics. gentlemen, the biden campaign is dictating to reporters how to cover the biden family's ukraine dealing, they sent a memo to news outlets that says to fail to make clear the conspiracy theory and false accusations have been comfortably disproven, to artificially prop up these egregious lies is to make you an enabler of misinformation, might as well just be directed at you and others on the show and anyone else. >> he named me in the state. joe biden isn't the victim of a smear campaign. he is a person who failed to see he had appearance of conflict of interest and didn't recuse himself when he should have. that is not just my position, state department witnesses adam schiff called made the point. >> this is just out tonight from politico, schiff may have mischaracterized parnas's evidence according to the documents. he claims in this memo relating to mister z in these text messages. the most charitable view of the situation that his staff, the relative congressional malpractice by not

who gets the credit, nancy pelosi, adam schiff? unlikely. >> no command we talked about this before, laura, take the broadview, president to preside over this peace and prosperity are normally shoe ins for reelection. donald trump has some of the stylistic issues, some of his supporters don't like of his tweets and the like, but you look at the issues, the economy, you mentioned his approval rating, the real clear politics average is near all-time high. the approval on the economy, the number one or number two issue on the minds of all voters, is ten points higher -- his approval rating among hispanics is 47% on the economy. so you can really see that there is strength, fundamentally underlying trumps reelection. i think the democrats noticed that. i don't think it necessarily has come up with a plan for combating it yet. trump is in pretty good shape right now. if the economy stays where it is and his approval rating on the economy states that high, he's going to be tough to beat. >> laura: when you think about this witnesses ques

that would be adam schiff. now, the president didn't say, by the way, in the transcript, even though, yeah, schiff had to make that up too appeared he didn't say, do me a favor. he said, do us a favor. he said, in relation to the united states, and of course, we have the ukrainian court. they both determined that there was election interference to help hillary clinton. they cited. by the way, interference that we were all worked up about for three long years. it takes 22 minutes to read it. naturally, that was only one of many lives today from the congenital liar. now, this is pretty amazing. one truly bizarre example from earlier today, yep, the congenital liar, schiff, actually doubled down on a lie that has previously earned him four pinocchio's from the liberal "washington post"." for a democrat, that's hard to get. despite the mountain of evidence that he communicated with the fake whistle-blower, well, congenital liar still claiming he had no idea with the person is. do you believe him? he is contradicted

and then that ending by adam schiff. you know, you want to leave them with the punch, and he gave a great punch. i do have to correct one thing i said earlier. i said bryant and a cloud of dust, that was woody hayes. >> both of them wore hats. >> i have a block of woody hayes. he coaches for a school in ohio. >> your guy is michigan. okay. >> give woody his due. >> claire, i hate to end on a negative, but i want you to react to what marsha blackburn tweeted tonight. adam schiff is hailing alexander vindman as an american patriot. how patriotic is it to bad mouth and ridicule our great nation in front of russia, america's greatest enemy? >> okay, senator blackburn, i think you meant to criticize donald trump in that tweet because my recollection is he stood up next to putin and basically said, i believe this guy more than i believe american intelligence that is full of veterans and active military risking their lives around the world to keep us safe. so don't you lecture anybody about how patriotic a veteran like vindman

adam schiff knows the facts. trish: a guest saying he would hate to see him when he's not trying. remember this anti-trump hit piece? >> 11u.s. troops were actually hurt. the president actually said no troops were hurt. you remember president trump told the flub were no casualties -- told the public there were no casualties. trish: now jim acosta is taking his turn at it. here is a reminder on how far this guy is. no migrants trying to rush towards this fence. >> i'm not negotiating with you. i'll let congress take care of that. president trump: that's enough. >> pardon me, ma'am. you are attack our news organization. can you give us a chance? trish: it's official, all democrat candidates have crazy border policies. even joe biden says we should not deport illegals convicted of drunk driving which can be a felony. former trump accounting i.c.e. director tom homan is here to react to it. people think my job is easy. you just go on tv and talk, right? well, each season there's over 1,500 players and hundreds of gam

[laughter] now if we can get adam schiff to cut loose. >> and now adam schiff cut loose. >> that's a good party hop. i believe he's turning 50. what a good turnout. >> do you know how to cut loose. >> yes. >> i will prove it. [laughter] nailed it. >> hey mike. and now i will have a drink of water. ♪ >> my god. it gets worse. the media loves impeachment because it allows them an escape from their old self reflection. remember the gun rights rally. >> state of emergency, virginia on high alert racing for violence as thousands defend on a gun rights rally. >> white nationalist groups who follow the country. >> he refuses violent particular from white extremists. >> on edge an and on alert. a massive crowd at a gun rally this thursday. white supremacist. >> oh my god. of course will happen,. >> how has it gone so far. >> it is all good. [applause] >> all good. but with impeachment the media can get away with another giant smear against another group of people. a smear like all the others from kavanaugh to covington that tells you why you cannot trust them with impeachment. but impeachm

here's one cnn analyst comparing adam schiff -- adam schiff! to a rock star. >> performance every single day, performances both from a substantive and presentation level have been amazing. >> it's like springsteen or billy joel or prins when he was alive. they clap, come back out, do another song that's even better? i suspect tonight he's going to do something that's actually outstanding. >> tucker: adam schiff, i love you! excuse me. robbie sauve is the author of "panic attacks" and a senior editor at "reason." always happy to have robbie's with us. >> i'm too overtaken by this emotional, powerful moment to properly discuss with you. >> tucker: let's pull back a little bit. as you age, you become an adult and the middle-aged adult. a lot of things you can't hold onto for your hair, your health. but your dignity is something you want to retain as you age but were they so eager to give it away on live tv? >> for them, this is -- so the comments are focused on the performance aspect of what schiff had to say because for them, them being the kind

schiff socks and adam schiff did a great job is because adam schiff is presenting opinion. people can disagree with the opinion, they say he is bad and people who agree with the opinion say he is dazzling. we know it's all opinion. the problem is we have all these fact-checkers and amazing journalists and they are just overloaded with adam schiff that they can't fact-check what he is doing. instead, what did they do? they discuss his performance. not the content, but the performance. oh, he really laid it out there. can you tell me what he laid out and whether or not it was true or false? most telling moment was that sound on tape that you played when schiff said impeachment is necessary because we can't count on 2020 being a legitimate election. think about that. he's saying that impeachment is a process is superior to an election. not just past ones in 2016 about future ones. what he is basically saying is that anybody can do this. he is saying this to prevent a future event. this is a figment in his brain. it's not even real. he is saying the 2020 election cannot be trus

. >> the emotionality of adam schiff. >> during the closing arguments, very emotional. >> adam schiff last night in emotional comments. >> democratic prosecutor adam schiff with an emotional appeal. >> you had a powerfully emotional, direct statement. >> making this emotional plea to end the session. >> his emotional appeal to a sense of what's right, to a sense of what is right for the country. >> i tucker: no matter how many segments we do on how dumb they are on cable news and every night we do one, it still shocking just how dumb. how dumb? here's one cnn analyst comparing adam schiff -- adam schiff to a rock star. >> performance every single day, performances both from a substantive and presentation level have been amazing. >> it's like springsteen or billy joel or prince when he was alive. they clap, come back out, do another song that's even better? i suspectt tonight he's going to do something that's actually outstanding. >> tucker: adam schiff, i love you!ou excuse me. robbie sauve is the author of "panic attacks" and a senior editor at "reason." always happy to have robbie w

adam schiff? >> i thought it was dazzling. i thought the way he wove through both the facts of the case and the historical context was really remarkable. it was the second best courtroom address, since it's like a courtroom, that i ever heard. >> dazzling. dazzling. it was like he went to see a bob fosse musical. >> dazzling. >> the best thing you could maybe say was effective but i don't know about that. i don't mean effective because i don't think that they are trying to persuade anybody who wasn't already decided. while he was talking pugh came out with the most recent poll. same thing, half of u.s. adults say, 51%, say he should leave. 86%, they're not changing their mind. >> is a mirror image, jesse. you know a lot about mirrors. you look fantastic. you can see yourself in my eyes. >> that's not all i can see. this is like when critics give these terrible movies that appear at sundance these great reviews. the minute it goes into the box office it just bombs. the public hates it but these rea

that would be adam schiff. now, the president didn't say, by the way, in the transcript, even though, yeah, schiff had to make that up too appeared he didn't say, do me a favor. he said, do us a favor. he said, in relation to the united d states, and of course,e have the ukrainian court. and politico. they both determined that there was election interference to help hillary clinton. they said it. by the way, interference that we were all worked up about for three long years. it takes 22 minutes to read it. naturally, that was only one of many lives today from the congenital liar. now, this is pretty amazing. one truly bizarre example from earlier today, yep, the congenital liar, schiff, actually doubled down on a lie that has previously earned him four pinocchio's from the liberal "washington post". for a democrat, that's hard to get. despite the mountain of evidence that he communicated with the fake whistle-blower, well, congenital liar still claiming he had no idea with the person is. do you believer, him? h

so adam schiff will call john bolton. they will take his deposition and pat cipollone will call either hunter biden. steve: you are proposing they vote for it. i don't think that's going to pass. >> i think it will after senator cruz. the initial decider is the chief justifiable. first thing he is thinking is what am i doing here? i'm like a bump on the log. i'm just watching this go on. normally judges are a lot more interactive. secondly, the level for relevance is a low threshold. so, if you make an argument to the chief justice like senator cruz just made to chad pergram or whoever was interviewing him down there, i think the chief justice will say okay, the president is on trial. the president is the defendant. the president is in danger of losing his office. he should be able to call whoever he wants that he thinks will help defend him. the democrats will say it is the president's behavior that's under scrutiny here. it's not joe biden's and it's not hunter biden's. the chief justice will make that call. and then if

. >> laura: he's right about that, let's walk through the biggest whoppers today from adam schiff. here schiff is trying to convince all of us that he's a mesmerizing force when it comes to history. >> he testifies that russia systemically interfered in our election to help elect donald trump, the campaign understood that and they willfully made use of that help. >> laura: here's what the mueller report actually said. "the investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in election interference activities." can you read? second, schiff is putting words in the mouth of ukraine's president. >> president zelensky clearly understood the quid pro quo for the white house meeting on july 25th. >> laura: if zelensky clearly understood that he has a funny way of showing it. >> we had a good phone call, it was normal, nobody pushed me. >> laura: it's all normal. third, schiff's tall tale about the white house chief of staff mick mulvaney. >> mulvaney didn't just admit the president withheld crucial aid appropriated by co

but adam schiff adam schiff isn't interested in hearing from hunter biden in public. he'll call you a putin stooge if you are. but if you take millions of dollars from a company in a foreign country and then yo your dad fires thatnt country's top prosecutor, it's not a big deal says adam schiff and he's been totally honest about why he doesn't care. watch. >> are you open to a witness exchange so that republicans call on hunter biden? >> this isn't like some fantasy football trade, as i said yesterday. they want to do this trial to smear the bidens. that's not theheur purpose of te trial and senators should not allow them to be abused in that way. >> tucker: that's kind of refreshing. schiff was clearly honest. he can see that it would be devastating for the biden presidential campaign. that campaign, it turns out, must be protected at all stopped on my cost. destroyedim biden in the whole impeachment thing will be for naught. to tell you that the democratic establishment wants joe biden as the nominee in the first place because he is moderate and can win what is joe

the same adam schiff the fisa process was just fine. the same adam schiff who said the nunes memo was adequate. -- inaccurate. the same adam schiff who did his false story the parodyua at the hearing right after this came out. and then the same adam schiff who mislead the american people yesterday, the politico story about the text message that mr. parnas had. a this guy, we are now supposed to believe when he talks for four hours that he is telling us the truth? h come on, the american people see right through. this. >> sean: congressman meadows, i have watched, listened, i have heard, there is nothing new. and the sad part for me is the constitutional issues that professor dershowitz is bringing up but more, importantly, they haven't done a thing for the american people. i love the ultimate jury deciding in 286 days. i don't have a crystal ball but i have an idea why i think trump will win which it run by new a second. get your thoughts on the day. where this is progressing. executive privilege, witnesses. where do you see going? >> y

what is your response to adam schiff? >> i am sad for many months long before this trial started, the constitution historical practice, the founders intent all indicate it will founded article of impeachment has to allege both that a crime has been committed, and also that it's of a certain category of crimes that constitute an abuse of the president's oath of office. adam schiff isn't entirely wrong, but he misses the whole first part of that. the take away that many people had from the clinton impeachment. because the conclusion of the senate there was what the president did, did not constitute an abuse of his office. that did not warrant impeachment. he skips over the part that there was never any question during the clinton impeachment at the president had committed crimes, namely obstruction of justice. this impeachment however doesn't charge that any crimes were committed. it's the flowery abuse of power into which you can pour essentially any collection of arguments. >> martha: a lot of people are still trying to u

adam schiff has already failed in his job, okay? because his job as house impeachment manager is not to curry favor with the press or make the people in the gallery applaud him. it's to convince the jurors in the trial. he has convinced no one. and it's because of that lack of credibility that you were just highlighting and that we have talked about. the senate republicans know all of this history and they know a lot of the things he is saying on the floor were biased or misrepresented. you don't convince a jury that way. >> tucker: does it worry you that the level of propaganda of dishonesty in this country, from the people who should know better, the ones that went to yale and the school of journalism that they are lying so much that no one will ever believe them again and that no one will ever believe that the system is on the level again ever after this? i'm worry about that. >> it is and it's become rampant. and do you want to know why? because the media isn't doing its job. all right in the media exists to call balls and strik

first i want to get your tweet from democrats and adam schiff, president trump adding shifty adam schiff is a corrupt politician and shifty man. he has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our country? >> well, that's unfortunate. the president has ha tendency to seam seem threatening to people. she's going to go through some things. adam schiff has to pay a price. he has to get a grip and be a little more presidential? take a look at the tense floor on friday night. >> "cbs news" reported last night that a trump confidante said that gop senators were warned, vote against your president, vote against the president and your head will be on a pike. now, i don't know if that's true. i hope it's not true. i hope it's not true. >> you just heard senator lankford say that offended him because the implication is they were afraid of president trump. there were other key swing votes such as murkowski and collins who found it unnecessary and manchin found it offense aive. is it okay to say that? >> hopefully, the senators will not be quoting a cbs report that adam himself didn't know i

Ãbsenator lisa murkowski just told us that adam schiff overreached tonight. she said he is a good order, cross the line at the end of the night. she said she hasn't decided whether to support witnesses and will wait until president trumps lawyers make their case. we will hear from charlotte, a democrat in kids texas. do you agree that adam schiff overreached tonight, charlotte? >> of course i don't. that's ridiculous. that's just another example of murkowski beginning with this statement that she wants to hear witnesses or she's considering it but not backing it up with her vote. her and cohen's and the others i'm hoping they come through. i'm disgusted by republicans talking about being bored and and not doing their duty. 70% of americans want witnesses. it's my understanding, 70% of republicans want witnesses. so who are these representatives representing? >> let's go back to the house, why do you think the house did not follow through and get witnesses? >> that's pretty simple, isn't it? they were obstructed. people talk about mueller as this thing that ki

>> the fairness question with adam schiff. i would like to know what if it was you, the president of the united states or anyone else not afforded due process and put through this witch hunt and this ramrodded process that is a sham because there is no crime here. no impeachable offense. they are overriding the constitution for their own corrupt purposes. this is all about the 2020 election. it should stop here. the senate should say no, it's unconstitutional. >> shannon: tomorrow the president's team gets it turn. great to have you all with us. you heard us talking about the statement that chairman shive made about republicans being threatened if they crossed the president. we heard from a couple of senators. susan collins said not only have i ever heard that, but i know no republican senator threatened by anyone in the administration. bernie sanders tied up in d.c. for the impeachment trial. aoc to the rescue. working to lock in votes for the far left front runner next. just one pill a day. 24 hours. zero heartburn. because

impeachment himself, adam schiff. he did put on quite a performance today on the senate trial rules resolution. watch. >> if you only get to see part of the evidence, if you only allow one side or the other a chance to present their full case your verdict will be predetermined by the bias in the proceeding. if the house cannot call witnesses or introduce documents and evidence, it is not a fair trial. >> laura: congress meadows, this isn't fair and he says, don't try to dictate what we're doing in the house but what we are doing isn't fair. >> adam schiff has amnesia. he's forgotten about the 71 days that we denied the president legal counsel to be in there when it was in the house. yet here he is talking about what's fair? the headline should be today really "corrupt investigators demand fair trial." how do you do that? it is just unbelievable. >> laura: they push back on what cipollone said this morning. when he said nobody was allowed. he said congressmen were allowed in the skiff, and they went crazy saying, no, c

>> adam schiff -- >> mr. bruni. >> adam schiff thanked them for all keeping an open mind. i think that was wishful thinking. >> that was pure flattery based on nothing in evidence so far. >> he's being extremely nice. what do you think? >> i agree that proving the obstruction case will be a much easier lift in part because trump is already going on tv and saying they don't have any documents because we haven't given them any documents. he's making the case for the connects at this point. >> we have everything, yeah. i think -- thank you all. he says we can't count on trump to put the american people's interests first. do what's right. he will do what's right for trump. adam schiff making his final case tonight. thanks for watching, everybody, i'm don lemon. our special live coverage of the impeachment trial of president trump continues now with anderson cooper. ♪ >>> and good evening, we are coming to you at the end of the day that saw house impeachment managers the constitutional case that president trump abused the power of his office to extract political favors from a

schiff and nadler, there is witnesses, false, there were 17 and adam schiff called all of them, not only was potus counsel not allowed to call any witnesses but wasn't even allowed in the room. this impeachment sham must end now with an acquittal. this from one of the capital reporters, schumer says if the witnesses vote goes down trump's senate try will be in his words the greatest cover-up since watergate. trump's acquittal will be meaningless and will have a permanent ascarerisk. from senator lamar alexander, there is no need for more evidence to prove something that has already been proven, it does not meet the constitution bar for an impeachable offense. let's go to lynn in las vegas. >> caller: the whistleblower, this is a -- the bottom of why this started. this will be an ever evolving process between the house, go back and have some whistleblower. and somebody testify, the house will be right back in the senate going through the same thing that will happen today. >> host: we have 180 questions over two days by senators, all but senator nz who did not ask a question. senator

. >> adam schiff at the end of a long day. and here for our lead-off discussion on a thursday night, claire mccaskill, former democratic senator from the state of missouri. eugene robinson, pulitzer prize winning columnist for "the washington post". and jonathan lemire, white house reporter for the associated press and of course one of our political analysts. senator, i'll begin with you. your summation after this long day. >> i thought, once again, they did a very, very good job. now, i'm probably too cynical tonight because i spent too much time this afternoon on the phone to some of my -- the offices and to some of my former colleagues when they were on breaks. and i got to tell you, i am very worried because what i'm hearing is the president and mitch mcconnell have an artificial timeline for finishing this up. >> what does that mean? >> which is another way of saying, you know, it's going to be done by next friday. the -- that the president wants this to be behind him before the super bowl because he gets interviewed at t

adam schiff's are not getting any better. we need to make sure that the american people understand two things. everything that a house impeachment managers are going to say today is going to be based on second and third and knowledge. >> president trump's legal team will soon get to make its case, probably starting saturday. >> they are putting on their case, we will put on our case. i'm not going to give you time frames on how long it'll take to do ours, but i will tell you this -- we will put on both an affirmative case, in defense of the president, but also pointing out some of the errors in the case they've presented. >> senators will get to hear the start of today's presentation, probably starting in about two hours. sandra, ed? >> sandra: mike emanuel and capitol hill for us, thank you. >> ed: thank you, mike. while we await senator schumer and others. good morning to both of you. richard, i want to start with you, as democrat. you heard mark meadows from the president's team saying that this is like "groundhog day." wh

impeachment manager would be a relevant witness. >> if adam schiff was called as a witness, would, in fact, issues of speech and debate fall as privilege be litigated? those be the kind of issues that would be very, very significant. >> on the other side, jerry nadler dismissed donald trump's claim of executive privilege. >> that is the subject of article 2 of the impeachment because that is a claim of power. >> all of this but the chief justice of the supreme court in an unusual role like the host of the televised quiz show. >> did anyone in the white house or outside the white house tell anyone in the white house counsel's office the publication of the bolton book would be politically problematic for the president? >> tomorrow is expected to be another full afternoon and evening of question-and-answer sessions, was preplanned and scripted. ahead of a critical slowdown on friday over witnesses. >> thank you. donald trump celebrating another political victory tonight, a new north american trade deal passed in a bipartisan vote now officially sign. an agreement the president is calling

adam schiff claims he has an airtight case, overwhelming evidence. if there is no question. now he is saying he needs more evidence, more witnesses, more time. maybe the case is not as airtight. >> it does not get more airtight than the president standing on the lawn of the white house and saying i want ukraine, i want to china, to investigate the bidens. >> why would he do that? if it was supposed to be behind the scenes, something -- >> this was after he had gotten caught, this was after we already knew about the whistle-blower complaint. the president -- the president asked, in the transcript he released by the way which we know was not an accurate transcript -- two people said he said burisma in it, what they released did not say speak 25 in the memo. whatever he released was the most incriminating thing we have seen in the entire impeachment, tied javelins to an investigation of the bidens. you think the president is just asking for a casual favor? >> let's be accurate, there is no need to do this. what chairman adam schiff said which was to take the call, dramatize it,
