| 0:00.0 | This week, we will begin the very critical process of hearing from constitutional experts to really lay out the ground for impeachment of the president. |
| 0:11.4 | So as we, from the intelligence community, turned over that report to judiciary, we still have a lot of work to do. |
| 0:21.0 | And we know the witnesses for Wednesday's hearing will be legal experts on impeachment. Any |
| 0:25.6 | sense of how many future hearings your committee will hold? And do you expect any fact witnesses |
| 0:31.6 | to be called or recalled from the Intelligence Committee's proceedings? |
| 0:35.6 | Well, we have not really made the decision on future hearings or future witnesses yet. |
| 0:43.1 | I think our main focus right now is to have the president and his counsel, who you know are given the same privileges as President Nixon and President Clinton had to participate and engage |
| 0:56.0 | in this impeachment process, even to the point of if we have any executive sessions on the |
| 1:02.3 | Judiciary Committee, they're invited to participate. |
| 1:05.5 | So we are certainly hoping that the president, his counsel, will take advantage of that opportunity. |
| 1:11.6 | If he has not done anything wrong, we're certainly anxious to hear his explanation of that. |
| 1:18.6 | Have you gotten any indication the White House will be involved or the counsel? |
| 1:23.6 | We have not. As you may know, Chairman Nadler sent a letter. I know they've been in conversations with the White House and counsel, but they sent a letter just again inviting the president making sure that he and his counsel are aware of the opportunities to fully engage and participate in this process. We are certainly hoping that he will, as I said. |
| 1:47.0 | This is amazing. I'm still full. I'm not agile yet. I'm still full. I'm still eating. |
| 1:55.0 | And it's December. Everybody, stop eating. Stop it now. |
| 2:00.0 | Because here come the diet commercials, right, because of what we just did. Because of what we just did. Well, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope you fought about normal things. I hope you fought about your, you know, the money. I hope you fought about football. I hope you fought about fantasy football. I hope you fought about whether or not red zone is for people with ADD. I mean, I hope you fought about football. I hope you fought about fantasy football. I hope you fought about |
| 2:17.5 | whether or not red zone is for people with ADD. I mean, I hope you had normal fights because |
| 2:22.6 | this country is so split down the butt crack that 53% of Republicans believe that Donald Trump |
| 2:30.6 | is the better president. Then Abraham Lincoln, Honest Abe. Honest Abe, they believe Abraham Lincoln, 53% of Republicans, is a better president than honest Abe. They also believe that Trump is a better president than Dwight Eisenhower. Sixty-five percent say Trump is a better president than Dwight Eisenhower. Do you really want to be fighting with those people with knives on the table? I say no. I say no. Especially if you saw my table, there was wine on it. Not that I imbibed. I did not imbibed because I was the designated driver for Loretta. Yeah. But, you know, I mean, you don't want to have knives on the table. |
| 3:09.3 | You don't want to have alcohol on the table when this is the situation. |
| 3:12.3 | How are you going to argue with somebody who thinks that 71% of America thinks that Donald Trump is a better president than Dwight Eisenhower? |
