president trump is ramping up his support efforts for perdue. he raised money alongside mitch mcconnell. just a couple weeks ago, his campaign used its massive distribution list for a fund-raising appeal for gardner, ti tillis and ernst, all of this coming as the president is trying to drum up support for his impeachment trial. this is routine, sort of expected for the party, but it comes as republicans are trying to rally these republican senators behind a coherent impeachment defense. for example, vice president mike pence was at capitol hill at the senate republican lunch, giving republican senators advice on how to defend the president against the impeachment trial, and trump has been holding court more with senators. he brought a handful with him to the world series game 5 just a couple weeks ago. he also invited a different group of republican senators to the white house after the impeachment vote. this is all a sign that there is a potential impeachment trial after the holidays when they can take this a little more seriously at the days o

said, "i think it is important the senate process be viewed as fair and serious," and senator david perdue told cnn, "what i want to hear is both sides of the argument." yes, both sides: "the president abused his office to seek election help from a foreign government," versus, "we don't care." so the senate could hold hearings full of shocking testimony, then just ignore it and vote how they intended to in the first place. it'll be just like kavanaugh, except trump doesn't drink. ( as trump ) "i liked chocolate cake! i still like chocolate cake! but i did not eat chocolate cake to the point of blacking out ( laughter ) are you gonna finish that chocolate cake? be'cause i'm gonna boof it!" because i'm gonna boof it!" it hits you faster when you above it. it's easier with an eclair." you're welcome. you're welcome. thank you very much. thank you. write that down. write down when i said that, okay? of course, trump's not the only focus of this impeachment. the other leading man is his personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, who's on the cover of "time" magazine. too bad this came out after halloween,

right now sonny perdue the secretary of agriculture is a total pro corporatist type saying if you're not big, get out. this is a pro corporatist government and talking about a pro corporatist government people need to understand what this means. there's a virulent strain of capitalism. not capitalism itself. i'm pro callist. that is strain of capitalism that's corrupted the government, gained control ever since the 1980s. and what it does is to make short-term profits for corporate stockholders more important than the u.s. citizen. we are not a government of the people by the people and for the people anymore. we're a government of, by and for the huge national -- >> do you reform campaign finance laws? >> teddy roosevelt. >> do you ban lobbyists? >> yes. because that's the cancer underlying all the cancers. the undue influence of the corporate money on our government is the cancer underlying the other cancers. we know it is not reasonable to think that citizens united is going to be overturned any time soon and we can have federal funding, federal funding of all -- public funding of

former georgia governor sonny perdue, senator david purdue, sanford bishop, doug collins, all showed their faces, as did lucy mcbath, the democrat from georgia who holds the seat once occupied by senator isaacson and newt gingrich, who spoke about the plea for bipartisanship. straight out of rollcall. some of the reporting from that event on tuesday night, if you want to read more about it. let me follow up on the homework you gave me earlier on music we play here on the "washington journal." i am now much more educated on that. it is the concerto for trumpet number two by johann mulzer, an arranged version of that. a viewer thought it was johan sebastian bach, but it is johan molser. here is a good story from roll call about the chamber music from a few years ago. c-span's music all in the public domain, keeps the costs low. in that interview, they interview rob kennedy who maintains the twitter handle @cspanmusic. he tweets about the music we use here on c-span, c-span2, and c-span3. the tagline, by the way, of @cspanmusic, if it ain't baroque, don't fix it. host: [laughs] announce

perdue working with that artist when he was doing it, working with the clay. he wanted to emphasize the hands had to show the strength. he was holding onto the podium. at was what was keeping him up, but to show the strength he had to address the country and transmit to them that this country was going to be ok, that this was our day of infamy. and don kept saying, they are not strong enough, they are not strong enough, until he got it just right. so getting back to this again, in those days, the press was given the information that they like share, but it was not it is today. this just an entirely different generation, a different mindset than in those days. it was done pretty discreetly. there is a school that teaches american history to incoming immigrants. very often they are using this book now to teach american non-american students, teaching the presidents as they were as real people and real men. they had their frailties. they went through tragedies. there were a lot of parts of their lives that we need to understand. there was a lot of alcoholism, a l

it's a beautiful thing to see, i targeted themthey and i said to sonny perdue, our secretary of agriculture, sonny, how much is it? he said, the year before last it was $12 billion. this year it's $16 billion in orders. i said, that's ok, sonny. we'll give them $28 billion. we will take it right out of the tare ifts and hopefully the -- hopefully the farmers will say thank you very much, china. distribute, $28 billion around from china into and armers and farms ranchers and all of the people who were targeted. in a rough manner by china, i would say in a very ough manner, and now china's coming back and as you know they're already starting big buys.very big and the farmers are very happy. the incredible thing with the don't want a subsidy, they don't want a handout. it was something i was able to do and do it. $28 billion. fter that we had tremendous amounts of billions left over that we could use. actually, we could use it for reductions, distribute it to people. begun, if we -- again, if we deal with china -- look, i had a deal. we had a deal. this gentleman could tell you. we were so clo

to a lot of people, aside from a good friend senator perdue, who i'm hopeful will be here a little bit later, the dod audit might not come across as the most interesting topics in the world. however, ranking member kaine and i taket her oversight responsibility serious and are happy to havee this important d timely hearing. another responsively take circe is one in providing the funding needed to rebuild our military, with a specific focus on restoring readiness. conducting an audit of this magnitude is a massive undertaking, as i'm sure we will hear. in fact, until secretary norquist arrived, it had never happened. the pentagon had never completed an audit. let me repeat that. in its history the department of defense had never completed an audit. kind of remarkable. the fy '19 dod audit is one of the largest audits of any organization in history. over the course of this year this audit hasud required more than 1400 auditors and hundreds of duty site inspections. inspectionsrs and evaluating thousands of sample and documented items to accountt fors. the roughly $2.8 trillionn dod asset

perdue: mr. president, the world is more dangerous today than any time in my lifetime. we face five threats across five domains. china, russia, iran, north korea, and terrorism. and the domains have gotten very complicated. air, land, sea, now we have to deal with cyber and space. but in that background, mr. president, three times over the last 50 years, this government under the leadership of three different presidents has disinvested its military significantly under president carter, under president clinton, and indeed under president obama. they cut the military by 25% at least in each one of those administrations. the last one was extremely draconian. we saw the impact of that in our readiness, the fact that our modernization program had been killed and we found ourselves falling behind what we now call near competitors, i would say they're peer competitors, when you saw the money they're spending, exactly the same we're spending and they don't have the regulatory overhang. they don't have the legacy costs that we have here in the united states. and so they can get

. >> before i start i want to say forks to sonny perdue allowing us to use his facilities over there over the course of every wednesday when we had our bible study. thank you for doing that. for those of you who participate in that, mr. vice president, i ,now you have always been there we are glad you didn't come frankly because you have such a big footprint. in all seriousness, we know you have been very engaged in that process as well. years, first time in 100 betsy, and our other

the secretary of agriculture, sonny perdue as well as the fcc chairman have a great relationship, and that permeates down to the staff level. we meet with the fcc on a regular basis. i think it's also important to recognize there are significant differences in the delivery of our programs, whereas the fcc provides operational cost reimbursement in high cost areas, we provide the capital construction costs to be able to build those services into a community, so we have distinctly different missions and different funding methodologies to achieve that. however, common to both of us, is the fact that we've got to have good mapping to be able to determine where service is and where it is not. i think the fcc has done a superb job this summer of working to try to improve their methodology for collecting data. we're working with not just the fcc but also with the ntia and with private stakeholders and state level governments to properly understand what is currently out there, what we found when we've put boots on the ground and going out and doing site validations is oftentimes there's no si

we've heard from lindsey graham, we heard from david perdue yesterday that it's dead on arrival when it hits the senate. what does it actually mean in terms of of practicality with the president being removed from office or not being removed from office? >> you know, i don't see the republican-controlled senate going through an impeaching the president of the united states. first of all, from my point of view, there has been no impeachable evidence that has come out at all. now, of course the democrats totally disagree with me, but you know, this is something that the senate's going to have to decide. now, i also read somewhere that the house could delay moving it over to the senate. i don't know the legality of that or not. but i'm expecting -- we've been hearing that be ready in judiciary committee, we'll probably have a vote on impeachment articles by decembee been told. dagen: very telling, congresswoman, is echoing sentiment you just expressed, will herd did yesterday, congressman on the intelligence committee. a moderate former cia officer not running for re-election and people
