And so there you have it almost three and a half hours of this debate.

The House of Representatives has now finished a very impassioned and truly historic and

momentous debate on impeaching President Trump for

inciting the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol. Now comes the historic vote.

They will be voting at least for one hour, maybe even a bit more.

That's expected to make him the first and only US president

to be impeached for a second time.

And Jake, the question is is how many Republicans will join the

Democrats. The Democrats have the votes, but now we are told at least seven

Republicans have publicly declared they will vote in favor of impeachment.

That's right, well, seven Republicans that we know of right now,

most senior among them, Congresswoman Liz Cheney,

the daughter of the former vice president, she is the House Conference Chair, has, basically

she's third in line there in the House Republican leadership.

And I have to say, Dan and Abby Abby listening to all these speeches.

What struck me is that there are basically four groups of Republicans.

One is the seven that we know of, there might be more, who are voting to impeach, who are just

so appalled that even if you look at the list of them there some of them are quite conservative

Are just absolutely appalled then there's a second group of people who do hold Trump responsible

But do not favor impeachment for various reasons and I think you can say that these are

principled Republicans Congresswoman Mace, Congressman Roy of Texas. They have a principled reason for

opposing impeachment, but they do understand that President Trump did what he did.
