house speaker nancy pelosi is aware of this big freshman class. those that propelled the democrats to the majority. she wants to respect that. it did not have older members. that's one criticism of the democratic leaderships. a criticism about her leadership. she had a rocky time last foul and some people thought shield not have the votes to be the speaker of the house. it won't be nadler who will be the lead manager here. in 1999 it was henry hyde of illinois who led the effort against president clinton. it will be adam schiff. this is not adam schiff's first rodeo. he was the impeachment leader that nancy pelosi appointed him for a lower profile impeachment trial before the senate in 2010. that effort imppressed house speaker nancy pelosi and she put him in charge of the intelligence committee and asked him to lead the charge today. and the impeachment managers were all just told about 24 hours ago. they have been meeting in the basement of the capitol to plot strategy. if there are 24 hours of debate and 7 managers that's a lot of time that eac

and nancy pelosi is challenged why it was rushed through. she said we have been working on this for 2.5 years. that gives more insight to her motivation. it was always about impeaching the president. >> sean: you pointed this out every day, fighting for the ride for the fairness that newt gingrich offered bill clinton and his attorneys when he was speaker of the house. >> it's crazy to think that nancy pelosi impeached the president for obstructing the house when she is obstructing

tell nancy pelosi what? >> tell nancy pelosi when you deliver it and we have a trial and after i'm acquitted i will come to have the state of the union, not until then. president trump has a great saying no games. this is all game-playing by the democrats. it has to be brought to an end, okay? they forced her this week to deliver them. i think this trial, he ought to go big. he ought to demand witnesses. there is no witness on the other side bolton and mulvaney. there is nothing they say will be big deal. maria: they want to hear john bolton. john bolton, last week why did he come out to say i'll testify? >> maybe to sell books. president trump has to protect the office of the presidency about the future presidents, about executives privilege. nothing about the details will be any big deal. offset by the whistleblower, by brennan, by biden, hunter biden, ig report. this is the crime of the century. this is an attempted coup on a sitting president. a sitting president turned out to be right. you know who says

some wanted it to happen, but nancy pelosi said it is not something that she really considered. so you have this group here. people like schiff is out front as well as nadler. >> their job, and they are the prosecutors, dana, and they have to go forward and once the formal trial begins tuesday in the days that follow, they will have to go before the united states senate and the chief justice of the supreme court who is going to be presiding and they have to make the argument of why the president of the united states was impeach and now should be convicted and removed from office. >> that is right. a lot of differences between the impeachment trial and any impeachment trial and the court of law, but there are a lot of similarities and the biggest for the people who are familiar with how the court battles work and court cases work, whether it is "l.a. law" or anywhere else, you are or "law and order" you are looking at the prosecutors as you said, the house managers and they are making the case and trying to convince the jury. the jury are 100 senators. 100 senators sitting there

as we know from looking at nancy pelosi's past actions. there are two options for nancy pelosi. one is to go big and keep holding the articles but you have to own that narrative. i think it's bigger than the issue of whether the senate will have witnesses. it's the fatal statement of mitch mcconnell that he does not intend to be an impartial juror. if house democrats and nancy pelosi really want to bring that to light or even suggest there's additional investigating that the house wants to subpoena john bolton, you can go big and continue to withhold articles indefinitely. without doing that, i do think particularly the comment by senator feinstein has made it harder for nancy pelosi to hold onto these. but let's give her credit. what has happened in the three weeks or so she has held onto them, the nation's attention has been brought to the point to realize that mitch mcconnell said he won't be impartial. he said he doesn't want witnesses and marco rubio and lindsey graham said, no, we're not going to have witnesses. what nancy pelosi has done is recorded for history that the s

so far i don't see any price nancy pelosi is paying here in holding onto these. and i can see what she's been gaining so far. >> right, lawrence. like why throw pearls before swine? there's no reason to give the articles of impeachment over to mitch mcconnell so he can throw them in the circular file because she knows that's what he's going to want to do. the longer that nancy pelosi has waited, not only have we gotten additional information, but it increases the likelihood that chuck schumer and other democrats, despite some rumbling this week, will have a stronger hand in negotiating how the eventual trial occurs. and that's the most important thing here. it doesn't really matter when the articles of impeachment come over as long as the process is one that everybody can agree with. and i don't care if that happens in february. i don't care if that happens in march. even the democrats who were running for president right now have realized there's a value to being actively involved in this process even if they're campaigning. i wish the democrats had kept their m

there's not been any change in nancy pelosi's plans. but it does appear that -- not appear, she is saying soon. that is significant to me based on what she says the last couple weeks. she wants to see the imp peachment rules. at the is sniff kbt. she's not saying i want to change them. i still believe at the is unlikely. she's not going to see them before they send it over. it's just a matter of time, i would think. and based on what nancy pelosi says, that checks out. >> what's so interesting is it doesn't appear for public polling that she's paid any price by holding them. i think she's proven herself to be unpredictable and to have a high threshhold. she doesn't have any leverage to change the rules. i mean -- it really is a stand off. >> because her leverage isn't just getting mitch mcconnell to change the rules, it's to raise public awareness about what's fair and not fair, to raise public awareness about the fact the real precedent is in every senate impeachment trial in this country, only two, but still, there have been witnesses

today nancy pelosi divided her comments between the two is, iran and impeachment. once again tonight, the articles of impeachment will spend the night in the house of representatives in the custody of speaker nancy pelosi. here is why she said today about why she has not sent them to the united states for trial. >> no. i'm not holding them indefinitely. i'll send them over when i'm ready, and that will probably be soon. we want to see what they're willing to do and the manner in which they will do it. but we will not let them say, oh, this is just like clinton. fair is fair. it's not. documents, documentation, witnesses, facts, truth, that's what they're afraid of. >> earlier this week, a few, and only a few, democratic senators started to make public comments suggesting that nancy pelosi should send the articles of impeachment to the senate now, but today democratic senators are now all fully supportive of speaker pelosi's strategy. >> would you like to see the speaker send the articles over now? >> well, i think that's up to the speaker. >> should the articles of

nancy pelosi wants the senate to do her job for her. not only does she want to do the senate's job, now she wants them to call witnesses that adam schiff couldn't get in the house, because he was so anxious to rush impeachment through, that they wouldn't wait for the courts. you know, that is, the joke is about this impeachment. she is refusing to wait for the courts to act. then she goes to charge him with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. liz: let's show a context here. the polls seem to show american voter sees the democrats have been wanting to overturn the 2016 election within months of the president being inaugurated. it is not just that they wanted to get rid of the electoral college, they wanted to get rid of trump. demonstrates started to file nine impeachment articles or resolutions within six months of the president's inauguration. it has been the democrats main focus since even before trump took office on and on. so what i want to go to next, sir, is that i want to show the viewer, show the american people, what th

here exclusively from increasing pelosi, daughter of house speaker nancy pelosi and author of "the nancy pelosi way." no doubt that she is america's most powerful woman. good have you with us, christi christine. what do you say to the basic question which is everybody remembers when the speaker said, unless you have overwhelming evidence and a bipartisan understanding that impeachment is the way to go, it's simply too divisive for the country? why did she change from that opinion? >> donald trump conducts change that. the ukraine phone call that you heard from the whistle-blower, and the bipartisan and frankly many republican witnesses that came forward and testified as to holding up the money in violation of the law passed by congress and the obstruction of justice. so you have obstruction to me of abuse of power. >> martha: given how divisive it has become and how partisan it has remained, there is no bipartisan buy-in here. so now she's in a situation where it goes to the senate and unless there is something unforeseen, it appears that the senate is going to not move to convict the pr

but certainly not nancy pelosi. but that collins, the fast-talking collins where he's saying democrats are -- democrats are -- democrats are supporting and mourning the death of soleimani more than gold star parent -- what a liar. >> oh, wow. >> what a total liar. what a disgusting total liar. reminds me george washington said -- i love this quote -- guard against the postures of pretended patriotism. guard against the prepostors rf pretend patriotism. that's who collins, trump, all of these people are. >> right. >> they should be ashamed of themselves. and they should be like, in this case, marco rubio where we can have our differences, i understand why -- why marco rubio believes as does he in this case. that the president should have this power and it shouldn't be limited by congress. i understand that. but we can have these differences. let's debate over the differences. do not say your opponents who are actually defending article one powers in defending article one powers are mourning a terrorist. that's a damn

nancy pelosi says by joining a resolution to dismiss senator mcconnell showed his true colors. americans have seen what is at stake, a fair trial with witnesses and evidence and new evidence has emerged. every senator will have to vote. is their loyalty to the president or the constitution? democrats continue to say their won't be a fair trial with mitch mcconnell in charge. >> a big eye roll from me. i just watched and participated in the judiciary committee and what i consider to be the most egregious violation of due process, the worst process in the history of this country ushered in by nancy pelosi with adam schiff and jerry nadler to boot. for her to make those types of comments shows she is nothing but partisan hack. the reality is we never got a fair investigation and inquiry in the house. she didn't let it proceed by normals and now she is trying to control what goes on in the senate. she should get it over there, that a constitutional obligation and then she should but out of the senate to its business. shannon: what about the idea of witnesses? the president said i w

not let nancy pelosi take over the senate. my number one goal is not let the speaker of the house become the majority leader of the senate. senator mcconnell has done a great job as majority leader. i will be confirming judges this week but if we don't get the articles this weeks we need to take matters in our own hands, change the rules. deemed them delivered to the senate. so we can start the trial. invite the house to participate if they would like. if they don't come, dismiss the case, get on with governing the country. if you don't like president trump 10 months from now you will have an election you can kick him out. this is abuse of power. this is constitutional extortion is what she is doing. it is very bad for the presidency. it is very bad for the senate as an institution and it cannot stand. maria: getting on with the peoples businesses does that include usmca? will the senate vote on usmca this week? >> we're going to have a hearing which sets in motion a vote. there is a lot of things i would like to do. we got to

. >>> nancy pelosi is say that she is ready to send over the articles of impeachment to have a trial start very soon. >>> and now, cnn is told that there is strong evidence showing that iran was behind the downing of a ukrainian airliner, and tonight, the dramatic video of the moment it crashed. >>> and now, tensions on the high seas as a russian spy ship is aggressively closing in on to american warship, and what kind of signal is vladimir putin sending to president trump? i'm wolf blitzer in the "situation room." >>> a day after claiming that iran's top commander was planning to attack a u.s. embassy, and president trump saying that general qassem soleimani was planning to attack four embassies and justifying the killing by an american droem, but the president and the team are not ovffering any evidence and democrats and some republicans are criticizing the intelligence they have seen. meanwhile, an impeachment trial could start next week now that nancy pelosi has said that she is preparing to send the two articles of impeachment against the president in the senate next week. we wi

also about to speak so let's have a listen in to nancy pelosi. as you know on december 18th the house of representatives. of health it's constitutional duty and voted articles of impeachment against the president of the united states donald trump. said in the course of the debate that he did not uphold his oath of office protect his or than defend the constitution of the united states the president takes a special is a little different from the congressional thank you takes an oath that was taken by president george washington the patriarch of our country and from france picture we stand here. so sad so tragic for a country. that the actions taken by the president. undermined our national security to violate is of office and to jeopardize the security of our elections the integrity of our elections has taken us to this place so today we will make history when we walk down that when the managers want down the hall across a threshold in history delivering articles of impeachment against the president of the united states produce a hammer and suctio

nancy pelosi didn't want to go down the impeachment route. she was the adult in the room who said this is bad for our party, bad for our country and all along she went along with it, pushed in this direction by aoc and the left wing of her party. this is the opportunity for her to pay back bernie sanders and elizabeth warren to help her friend joe biden by keeping the senators in the senate stuck to their chairs during the impeachment process and help her friend joe all the while. jillian: let's see what other people think. in this abc news for 37% of people believe partisan politics and 39% during their constitutional duty by the lengthy article, monmouth university poll shows joe biden leading in the latest iowa poll with 24% followed by bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, i have to wonder if this might be the reason she was delaying to help joe biden, do you think people can read through that? >> no question about it. i spent several days and what everyone says to me what is loud and clear is we are sick and tired of this, get this over with

the only person they need to go talk to is nancy pelosi. the democrats created this problem, they made up this problem. if it causes problems for their presidential candidates, call 1-800-speaker-pelosi. that's who they need to blame >> shannon: one of our favorite tweets on this comes from comfortably smug if you're familiar with his tweets out there. in the world, always during it, says this, serious question for bernie supporters? are you upset nancy pelosi at times with meaningless impeachment trial to help biden and keep bernie off of the campaign trail. or are you used to the establishment, screwing bernie, and knew it would be rigged? jonathan? >> i think the supporters are going to be upset. they're rightfully upset they're not going to have their candidate on the campaign trail. her best attribute is being there in person talking to voters. there's a reason she has three-hour selfy lines. people enjoy talking to her. she connects best with voters. i would argue that vice president biden benefits from this. he'll have the trail rela

he stood up to nancy pelosi. i think this hurt her. it undercut the argument that impeachment was about necessity. impeachment is will revenge. i took mueller seriously. the president has done nothing wrong. these articles much impeachment, they can destroy the president over time. impeaching the president because he wanted to go to congress. abuse of power is so poorly defined. there is no bribery and no quid pro quo. how are future presidents able to conduct themselves. judge jeanine: especially when something is as partisan as this is. when it goes to the senate, this imperialistic approach to congress. you were in the sub basement of the congress and wouldn't let anybody in and you wouldn't give anybody the ability to cross-examine. how do you think it will play out in the senate. >> it will play out along the clinton model. if they thought john bolton was an important witness they should have called him. they didn't think they needed john bolton. the president said he would invoke executive privilege. i hope no republican will des

nancy pelosi cave together senior minneapolis in her party. the articles of impeachment are head together senate next week. she is sending them a month after the fact. she effective live was trying to create some kind of constitutional crisis? our constitution says the house is the one that impeaches. but the president has to be tried in the senate. the senate runs the trial. nancy pelosi thought she coulding have a hostile takeover of our congress by managing it for the senate. she is pretty foolish. this was the squad, nancy pelosi that started this whole mess. lesmess. lest we forget adam schiffing a well. this is going to head to the senate. i want to hear it all. let the republican senators have the chance to be the adults in the room and ask some real questions. get to the bottom of why the heck this happened in the first place. joining me right now. senior couple tonight and author of the new novel "collapse." mr. curt sha kirk sha schlicter. does she not understand the intentions of what our founding taughters laid out. >> she thought

nancy pelosi has handled this masterfully. mike admires how she's done it. he's hesitant early on in the year to think that trump should be impeach. he didn't think there was enough evidence in. as time went on, there were a clear abuses of power by president trump and obstruction of justice. whether or not that amounts to removing him from office, the senate will decide. there was a number of senators that want to see a trial that is fully robust right now. >> dana: do you not think that they have lost ground in terms of the momentum? if the president is a national security threat to the united states and you delay and you have the holidays and wait and then the state of the union, doesn't that take a little bit of that urgency away? >> i don't think it's a matter of urgency. it's respecting the constitution and following the rule of law. it played out this way. i don't think there was any other way to follow it. if you look at it through a political lens, if you care about the separation of power and the constitution, this went exactly as it should have. >

there was a lot to discuss in that comment from nancy pelosi hillary mann leverett is a former white house national security official and she says the u.s. has completely underestimated iran and its military technicalities have a list of what she had to cite. the fact that the united states designated the money on its own unilaterally as a foreign terrorist does not give the united states in law or in practice even the right to kill him it in u.s. law gives the united states the right to seize his assets but not to kill him and i think here again we're looking at u.s. government under president trump and unfortunately even under just under president trump prior presidents have been under this dissolution as well that somehow we can control the situation in and with iran that has just been flagrantly not true for 40 years we have underestimated that country it's an enormous country 80000000 people sophisticated educated it has a very significant conventional military force it has a significant asymmetric military force it knows every inch of where the americans are and have been aroun

not carry out nancy pelosi's bidding and the squad's bidding. that is not your constitutional role to hold little adam schiff's hands and correct all of his lies. and they are lies, and mistakes and his psychosis. you can't fix it anyway. it's not your duty to try to justify the democrats fabricated charges. three years in running now and the b.s. once and for all, get back to working on issues that will impact the lives, the safety, the security of the prosperity of the american people. don't forget, any intentional witnesses, that will be executive privilege. the president confirmed that today as he should. take a look. >> why not call bolton and allow him to testify? it is bogus. >> i have no problem other than one thing. you can't be in the white house as president future. i'm talking about future, many future presidents and have a security advisor. anybody having to do with security and legal and other things. >> you will invoke executive privilege? i think you have two for the sake of the office. >> sean: by the way when you think of the c

here comes speaker nancy pelosi. let's listen in. >> good morning, everyone. this is a very important day for us. as you know i referenced markers that our founders and our poets appendicit and others have used over time to place us in time to emphasize the importance of time, because everything is about time. how we use it, how we mark it, and today is an important day because today is the day that we name the managers, we go to the floor to pass the resolution to transmit the articles of impeachment to the senate and later in the day when we have our engrossment that we march those articles of impeachment to the united states senate. as i've said, it's always been our founders, when they started, when in the course of human events it becomes necessary when. abraham lincoln four score and seven years ago. thomas paine, these are the times that try men's souls. again and again, even our poets, longfellow. listen, my children and you will hear the midnight ride of paul revere on the 18th of april 1775, hardly a man is now alive. it's always about marking histor

nancy pelosi says no, no, no. those lev parnas allegations or letters, notes having to do with the president, guliani and others, they're fresh and new. i'm curious, can they come into play here. senator mitch mcconnell said no, i'm not going to let you bring it in and have a side show. >> they can bring them in. they can do whatever they want to do. nobody can tell the senate how to conduct an impeachment trial. that said, if you don't want a circus here and you want a fair proceeding, what you have to have is one trial. think about this. how long is this going to go on? if they continue to throw evidence and new information and maybe new articles of impeachment over, the work of the united states is not getting done while this trial is on. nothing else will be happening besides this trial. the work of the supreme court -- >> the president will be going on. we saw him today. he's signing a trade agreement with china. so this is a political process. democrats will have to figure out how they can and always tell me

>> i have covered nancy pelosi a long time. when she says soon, she means soon. but what is the definition of soon? so, could it happen tomorrow? could it happen monday? sure. there is one thing i want to point out that's just a practical thing. tuesday night on cnn, there is a debate of democrats, and i have a feeling that the senate democrats may have said to nancy pelosi, you know, we want our guys to be able to do that debate, so there's actually been some talk about maybe she would send over the articles tomorrow. the senate is not even in session tomorrow. maybe on monday she sends over the resolution about the managers. she gets everyone through tuesday. maybe this all starts wednesday. and i'm told that senator mcconnell has told his caucus not to expect to go home next weekend. so that's a little bit -- >> could you just wait till wednesday? >> would that make you feel better? >> because the lsu game is on monday. >> i got it. i'll let her know. >> i got a lot on my plate. >>> frank, leader mcconnell, he's not giving in to nancy pelosi's demands. if she

it will not be when nancy pelosi nancy pelosi says. >> bret: democratic pressure leads to the move? >> sure. at a certain point she had to turn it over, she cannot do it -- with people like me, people like you, we were interviewing democrats and saying, wait a minute, trump was such a clear and present danger, this had happened in such a hurry, now all of a sudden you can wait for three weeks? but yes, you can see not only house democrats, but especially senate democrats, eight of them saying it is time. and else we all know in negotiations that we have had in our contract, you can push so far, and then you have to fold. she realized it is time to fold. >> bret: there are some question marques, susan collins had a question saying that she has had discussions with republican colleagues about witnesses. the conclusion is pretty much wrapped up. the fact that you could not, at least what we know now imagine any scenario where 20 republican senators are going to convict the president of the united states? >> with what we know, no. this is an area where you had some success, because you

>> i don't think nancy pelosi capitulates to anyone. this was an epic battle between nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell. she wanted him to give her something, which was an outline of the rules and how the trial was going to go, and he said, it's just not going to happen. i think at a certain point, nancy pelosi and her democrats understand that they need to get this going. there is a presidential campaign going on. a bunch of senators will be stuck in the senate during this trial. so i think what you just heard from the congressman is what nancy pelosi said in her letter today, which was, look at how much more we learned while i held this. and, you know, she learned about the emails about ukraine, and john bolton now wants to testify if he's subpoenaed, so they can make their political argument, which is, we wanted everything to get out there. we were pushing for a fair trial. a and now we have a better case for witnesses than we had before, so i'll send it over. >> what do you think, sophia? >> my grandmother used to say crazy like a fox

lou: and let's mention nancy pelosi one more time. more mystery involving the death of pedophile jeffrey epstein. the security video outside his jail cell when he first allegedly attempted to kill himself is apparently gone forever. but then it reappeared at least in the words and language of the federal authorities. then federal prosecutors admitted the video they had was from a different part of the prison after they thought they recovered that video. this continued to be one hell of a mystery. now we are told that the video has been permanently disappeared. we don't know what that precisely means. but what it does mean for sure is the federal authorities aren't giving it up to the news media. up next, president trump poised for another big trade victory. china coming to d.c. to sign you a trade deal. the phase one trade deal. gordon chang joins us after his quick break with much more.

let's begin with nancy pelosi's statement on the war powers resolution. she says members of congress have serious urgent concerns about the administration's decision to engage in hostilities against iran and lack of strategy moving forward. america and the world cannot afford war. is this the right thing to do, does she have the authority and is it the right thing right now? >> this is a meaningless political document intended to embarrass the president. the president has very broad powers as commander-in-chief to defend the nation and congress cannot put limits on his decisions and determinations about terrorist threats and how to use the military to respond, that is his decision alone. the constitution does not have to play nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, adam schiff is a group of commander-in-chief mini mes who can help make that decision or limit the president. >> let's take a look at some quotes from the resolution itself. one part is congress has not authorized the president use missouri force against iran. and others in congress can direct the preside
