| 0:00.0 | And now for a moment of clarity. It was terrible. Both of them were terrible. The other was terrible too. And I'm not sure about his parents, but I know her parents were big Trump fans. Makes me feel bad anyway. But, I mean, I guess you could say even worse, they were tremendous Trump people, Trump fans. |
| 0:24.9 | Joining us now is the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Robert Garcia of California. |
| 0:31.2 | Congressman, the man is pathological. He can't help himself. He just can't. It is always about him no matter, no matter the situation |

| 1:09.9 | on with ICE and gets them |
| 1:11.6 | to reset the narrative. That's good. How serious is this effort? And how much do you think |
| 1:19.3 | your Republican colleagues are actually going to buy into it and give not only the votes to |
| 1:25.0 | impeach, but to convict. |
| 1:29.7 | Yeah, first, let me, I just have to comment on what Donald Trump just said. |
| 1:35.7 | What is wrong with that man? |
| 1:38.6 | I mean, seriously, making this about him always saying now more and more bizarre things. |
| 1:46.9 | This is not a well person who should be the president of the United States. |
| 1:52.3 | Catch Michael Steele on the weeknight, Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern on MS. Now. |
