| 0:00.0 | Thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Pride Time. |
| 0:03.7 | Tonight, there is reason for hope. Things are very much in flux, but we have never heard what we've |
| 0:10.8 | heard tonight. Republicans may want their party back from Trump. Reportedly, Senator Mitch McConnell |
| 0:18.6 | thinks Trump has gone too far. The New York Times reports that McConnell may be indicating |
| 0:24.1 | to the caucus that impeachment could make it easier to rid the party of Trump. Now, I know that's |
| 0:31.2 | hard to believe, especially coming from him, but you will hear from a senator tonight that is |
| 0:35.7 | hearing from his colleagues that members of the GOP in the Senate may want to break with the |
| 0:41.6 | Republican, with the retrumpelican number in their ranks. A number may be open to convicting Trump |
| 0:49.3 | in the Senate. Now, in the House, it looks like impeachment is not going to be in all Democrat |
| 0:54.2 | affair. The third ranking member of the GOP is Liz Cheney. Now, she said tonight she will vote |

| 1:28.2 | But now McCarthy is reportedly trial ballooning Trump being pushed to resign. It sounds kind of like |
| 1:36.0 | a Nixon situation where the heads of the party would go to him and say, look, you don't have the |
| 1:40.8 | votes, you don't have the confidence you need to go. That's how it happened with Nixon. Democrats |
| 1:46.1 | didn't throw him out. Republicans got him to resign. Do they have that kind of resolved now? |
| 1:50.9 | I don't know, but I've never seen any indication of it until now. This is a moment in history, |
| 1:57.2 | if only because of this degree of shift. So here's the state of play. The House is now debating a |
| 2:03.3 | resolution on whether Pence should invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump. I'm a seller on |
| 2:09.1 | this proposition and I'll tell you why. First of all, the VP sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi, |
