joining us tonight, white house press secretary stephanie grisham. the president standing straight up and saying, i think he also looked at those poll numbers and saw the way the american people reacting to this charade put on by the dimms. he wants to have a full-on trial and raise a little hell it appears. >> when you have done nothing wrong and you have had to endure months and months after people saying you have done all these horrible things. i agree with him. i think adam schiff should go up first. he has lied what he knows about this whistleblower. we know for a fact his staff was dealing with this whistleblower. he has a lawyer who tweeted on day one of this presidency that he must go down. if there is nothing to hide, let's go. lou: as adam schiff put up all of these so-called witnesses to see time and time again, speculation, presumption, assumption, hearsay. it became a parade of nonsense, only it was directed at the president of the united states. he has the patience of jobe to put up with this. >> he does, and he continues to work for th

and white house press secretary, stephanie grisham. governor mike huckabee, corey lewandowski and charlie kirk. and dr. michael baden will be here to discuss the latest news in the jeffrey epstein saga. history showed us that there is nothing like the partisan divide vote. the vote was 232-196, districtly along party lines. two democrats defected and voted with the republicans. it's so clear what's happening here. a vote to simply formalize the procedure is the least partisan vote, it's benign. if there were a scintilla of evidence of an impeachable offense, that vote would have crossed party lines as it did with clinton and nixon. prediction, complete and total failure ultimately in the senate. the democrat players are dishonest, disingenuous and deceitful. nancy says i will only do this in a non-partisan way. >> if and when the time comes for impeachment, it will have to be something that has such a crescendo in a bipartisan way. judge jeanine: she lied, the woman is more than willing to impeach in a partisan way, as well as divide t

stephanie grisham wasn't very clear. she said there were no problems, no symptoms, nothing that sort of prompted this visit. but i think as a medical person, if somebody makes a surprise unannounced visit to a hospital, that is the first question you would ask. >> it usually means it is provoked by something new. >> right, something happened. >> something about his condition has changed, is the presumption. >> it should be a, hey, let's get this checked out, but as a routine matter not to let anyone know seems unusual. >> back in the day before a president's routine exam or medical exam, it would be at walter reed or bethesda naval. now they have been combined. so when we talk about walter reed, we are talking about bethesda naval. that's where the president has gone at this time. tell me what constitutes a routine exam? what is in there? what is the discovery a doctor is looking for? >> we know some of what president trump has done in the past in terms of his exam. there are some basic things that are done with physical

speaking of stephanie grisham, let's talk about in the midst of this impeachment inquiry now picking up speed, the president now suggesting taking a page out of fdr's playbook in the '30s and '40s, it became popular during world war ii. the president now saying he wants to read, likely in dramatic fashion, the transcript of that perfect phone call as he calls it with the president of ukraine in a live televised fireside chat. what might that look like? >> i don't think it's going to happen. i definitely do not think it's going to happen. >> but just tossing an idea out there to get people's reaction? >> yeah, i think that's what this is about. the president is banking on a strategy to say if you look at the transcript, when you read the transcript, you can see i didn't do anything wrong. a, that's not true and, b, he knows most people won't read the transcript. even though it's only nine pages long and out there for everyone to access, it's a deflection strategy by the president. he does wanting to be out there on offense and he could make an address to the nation, give a primetime s

joining me now, white house press secretary, stephanie grisham. thank you very good have you on the story. thanks for coming here tonight. let's go through a couple of the things that were brought up in mike's report. one is that john bolton did not testify today. that might happen in the future. is the white house glad that he is so far resisting sitting down to speak to the folks on capitol hill? >> i think anybody who works at or has worked at the white house, you know, they have a lot of confidential information and so executive privilege is very, very important. we have concerns about national security information getting out there so we will see what happens. no matter what, no matter who ends up testifying, whether it behind closed doors or in public, the facts won't change that the president did nothing wrong so we aren't concerned about that portion of it but we do want national security mentors to stay confidential. >> martha: if the judge ends up saying that john bolton needs to testify and that he is no longer an employee of the white

stephanie grisham continues here that by contrast, volker's testimony confirms there could not have been a quid pro quo because the ukrainians did not know about the military hold at the time. no amount of salacious media bias headlines change the fact that the president has done nothing wrong, end quote. again, that is what we are just getting in now from press secretary stephanie grisham as far as a response to these transcripts released today. it is an unsurprisingly defiant statement from grisham and the white house, ali, given that this is the posture they have had all along, again, looking to question pieces of gordon sondland's testimony, revised testimony now, a different retelling that he's giving in what has been released today, ali. that is the latest from the white house. there's one other thing we're waiting for and that is any response to the news that mick mulvaney has been asked to appear before the house later on in the week. i expect -- i imagine i should say that we may get another statement at least on that before the day is out. >> hallie, thank you for that. hallie

joining us, stephanie grisham. your reaction to this testimony that is being released as if we didn't know that, is being released and choreographed with the national media. >> no surprises there obviously. but the transcripts that were released today show what the president has been saying all along. he did nothing wrong and there was no quid pro quo. volker said he's just presuming the aid was linked to something and admitted he didn't know yes was presuming it. these transcripts are good for the president. they show the entire time he has been telling the truth. it's no surprise it's taken this long for this to come out. instead of funding our military or passing a budget or passing u.s. mca, this is what the democrats have been doing and it's clearly backfiring on them. lou: i would think they would at least pause to perhaps rise from their seats and applaud the president for all he achieved in three years. they never produced a president who has done as much as he. don't you think they should hip hip hooray to

stephanie grisham, from what my reporting has indicated, basically takes dictation from trump. these statements are things that he is dictating. >> they sound trumpian. >> very trumpian. he is launching a full scale assault on this book. clearly this is just another front in the multifront war against this white house. but as you teed up at the top of this segment, we'll see all of these people under oath, on the record, talking about what happened. that is more powerful than an anonymous book. >> gabe, good to see you. neera tanden, thanks for sticking around. "the 11th hour" begins. >>> the election that gave us donald trump three years ago this very night, and now we're days away from public televised impeachment hearings. the president's talking points haven't changed in three years. it's all a hoax reported by the fake news media. the problem is it's about to get real. >>> meantime, even more testimony just out today further implicates rudy and brings new heat on the president's chief of staff for being involved in a rogue foreign policy and extortion. the big question, do

joining us tonight, white house press secretary, stephanie grisham. the president standing straight up and saying, i think he also looked at those poll numbers and saw the way the american people areay reacting to this charade t onon by the dimms. he wants to have a full-on trial and raise a little hell, it appears. >> absolutely. when you have done nothing wrong and you have had to endure months and months of people saying you have done horrible things. i think anybody would want to defend themselves. i think adam schiff should go up first. he lied about what he knows about this whistleblower. we know his staff was dealing with this whistleblower. a whistleblower who treated this president must foe down. that's horrible. i agree with the president, let's put it out there. there is nothing to hide. let's go. >> adam schiff put up all of these so-called witnesses to see time and time again suggestions, speculation, presumption, assumption, hearsay. sit became pope parade of nonsense on it was directed at the president of the united states.en he has the

here is reaction to my open, white house press secretary stephanie grisham. i want to begin with marie yovanovich's testimony. the president tweeted during the hearings about what he called her poor performance as ambassador. and the democrats are talking about new articles of impeachment for witness intimidation. what's the white house take on that? >> i would say what adam schiff did to congresswoman stefanik can be intimidation. what a cable network did to one of our senior advisors, kellyanne conway, could be intimidation. the president was expressing why he didn't have faith in yovanovich. he deserves to have people he believes in. he was going around the dems on his twitter which made them angry. we started with the word quid pro quo, now we moved to bribery, now intimidation. i realize the dems are polling which wowrds hit us the hardest. judge jeanine: today there was testimony released involving two individuals that say that it could be very damaging to the president, taylor -- not taylor, i believe the individuals williams and morrison. have you hea

and his press secretary stephanie grisham is admitting there is no specific white house plan to fight impeachment inquiry and the president himself is the war room. her words. we'll talk about that and more with mazie hirono of the judiciary and armed services committees and our correspondents will have full coverage of the top stories. let's begin on capitol hill. our correspondent phil mattingly is joining us. what is the latest? >> reporter: wolf, lieutenant colonel vindman testified that twice he went to white house lawyers over concerns related to the actions being taken related to ukraine. we know according to a source familiar with his testimony earlier this week that the second of those occasions when he was concerned about the july 25th phone call between president trump and the ukraine president bringing that to knopp national security counsel lawyer john eisenberg and told not to discuss anything about that call with anyone. this was as he took these concerns to a lawyer. now, wolf, this tracks from something we heard from a witness yesterday, tim morrison who testified tha

stephanie grisham revealing the nasty notes left behind for donald trump's team. >> we came into the white house, every office was filled -- we had notes left behind that that you will fail, you aren't going to make it. in the press office, a note taped to the door that said you will fail. heather: carly shimkus with serious xm 115 here with what both sides have to say on social media. we remember the video of the previous administration standing out front. according to the daily mail, three former trump aides have confirmed the claim saying nasty notes were left in strange places like a bathroom mirror, a bottle of russian vodka, then there's the other side of the story, former national security adviser susan rice is denying this. this is another bald-faced lie. a speechwriter for president obama, left an iphone charger, unimaginative notes written on a sixth grade level, grisham responded to this saying i am not sure where their offices were, certainly wasn't implying every office had this issue. i was specifically and honestly talking about our spirit in sin lower press office now

here with reaction white house press secretary stephanie grisham is with us. stephanie, you know, the interesting thing is you can bring in all the interesting people you want. hearsay, i say, you say, grandma's, nephews, uncles, sons, brothers, cousins, neighbor actually told me this and that's why i believed it. at the end of the day, you have the transcript. at the end of the day it's all there. it was never any mention of money. that fact doesn't change. they did nothing to get the money. so, it's a little bewildering to me that we actually are in this insane position. >> well, sadly, it's not bewildering to me after watching schiff and pelosi and their antics. but, again, they have been trying to undo this presidency since he won in 2016. you are right. he released the transcript today of the first call. he released the transcript of the second call. he is being so transparent in this process because he did absolutely nothing wrong. there was no quid pro quo. i guess i'm not allowed to say quid pro quo though because the dems have done some polling and br

press secretary stephanie grisham will join us live. senator elizabeth warren out with her medicare for all plan and the details of it. coming with a hefty price tag, $52 trillion. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm sandra smith. >> bill: welcome to friday. bill hemmer, welcome to november as well. the senator releasing her proposal this morning. her campaign claims it will not come with a tax hike on the middle class. 2020 rival already firing back on that claim. hillary vaughn has the story and live in washington good morning. >> good morning. elizabeth warren finally out with her plan to pay for medicare for all that she says will cost $52 trillion. so when you add all that up what governments, companies, employees already pay for healthcare is about $30 trillion. warren has to come up with an extra $20 million. she is getting it from banks, businesses and billionaires. she says no middle class tax increases and money back in the pockets of american families. larger than the largest tax cut in american history b

stephanie grisham, the press secretary at the white house sending out a statement earlier in the hearing that says: >> i appreciate all the calls. as we mentioned, he will have another chance tomorrow morning at 7 am eastern, washington journal, and then we begin day two of this week's coverage of the impeachment proceedings, at 9 am eastern. they will hear from gordon sondland, the u.s. ambassador to you european union, also from laura cooper, a deputy assistant secretary of defense for ukraine, and the under secretary of state for political affairs, david hail. that hearing getting underway on c span 9 am eastern, also on the c-span radio app and our coverage is always available at c-span .org.

stephanie grisham's statement said there were no symptoms, nothing else. but that would be the question here. why did the president need to go on saturday without telling anyone? >> also, i mean, it does break with what we know about the president which is he's not been the most proactive person in terms of getting these tests before. yus remind us what we know about his health history. >> it's interesting. and we can show you some of the data here just from his last physical even. when you do these physicals, there's basic biodata. height, weight, things like that. 243 pounds, bmi of 30.4. we know that he has this high cholesterol which he's been taking medications for and he has a form of heart disease as well which he's been monitored for. there are certain types of tests to sort of assess the progress of how things are with his heart, for example, those are the types of tests that could be done at a hospital probably could not be done at the white house. when you're in your 70s and you have these health issues, you have to have them monitored. whether

the press secretary stephanie grisham and larry kudlow. >> we are not going to waste our time with a governor who would say something like that. that was petty and that was silly. >> i do not blame him one bit. >> the president is going to new york city this weekend but it's just about time chris if you look at the counter and you feel the chill in the air for the president to start switching to those weekends down in florida. >> does go back to the impeachment. there is talk about a possible fireside chat, what we know about that? >> this is something that came out, and at some point i'm going to sit down, and people have to hear it. the president continues to maintain that he did nothing wrong during that call. even the person that the democrats call, he wasn't concerned for any illegalities. he was concerned about the political aspect of it that if ukraine launched an investigation that the ukraine might lose that bipartisan support in congress. you mentioned the top earlier today, stephanie grisham said in an interview in america's newsroom that she believes that congress will vo

stephanie grisham said the 73-year-old received a quick exam and lab testing. she was asked about the circumstances surrounding the checkup on sunday. here's what she had to say. >> i understand it wasn't a scheduled annual visit. can you tell us what it was? >> yeah, absolutely. we've got a really busy year ahead as you can imagine, and so the president decided to go to walter reed and kind of get a head start with some routine checkups as part of his annual exam. that's allroutine. we had a down day today, so he made the decision to head there. >> there's no truth to the rumors that it was something else? because the rumors are flying. >> oh, the rumors are always flying. absolutely not. he is healthy as can be. i put a statement out about that. he's got more energy than anybody in the white house. that man works from 6:00 a.m. until, you know, very, very late at night. he's doing just fine. >> this marked trump's ninth visit to the hospital since taking office. >>> republican operative roger stone was found guilty on friday of all seven counts against him ma

stephanie grisham said they are not giving out anything after this physical and wait until the entire physical is done, which as president trump said, will be next year. >> kristen holmes, thank you so much. >>> new details in just released transcripts from the impeachment inquiry could mean trouble for gordon sondland. the former official with the national security council said that ambassador sondland had been given a mandate from the president to go make deals and the said the ambassador was a problem and we learned the transcript of the july phone call with president trump and ukrainian leader ended up on a highly classified server potentially by mistake. let's bring in cnn legal analyst and former special assistant to robert mueller, michael zeldin. good morning to you. >> too. >> reporter: he testified he was told the records of the call were placed on this higher security code word classified server by mistake. give us the credibility of that for us. >> it seemed to me at the time that there was concern about what the contents of the call contained and that they were concerned

. >> and i think, geoff, we also have reaction this morning from press secretary stephanie grisham on the impeachment inquiry going public. she rarely appears on tv. what is she saying about the whole critical week ahead? >> reporter: well, she was asked in particular about the nikki haley book, this question that haley speaks to in her book that there were two cabinet officials who suggested that she join with them to undermine the president. and stephanie grisham said she wasn't at the white house at the time, but this notion of undermiepiunde undermining the president is precisely what democrats are going with the impeachment inquiry. so that's the public messaging you're getting from the white house with the hearings set to begin in 48 hours. >> she also said that they think it's going to be more of the same essentially as this week moves forward. what is not more of the same is the way the acting chief of staff, mick mulvaney is now handling these requests, pete williams, to appear in front of house democrats. he received a subpoena. mulvaney is now trying to go to court to fight

stephanie grisham, from what my reporting has indicated, basically takes dictation from trump. these statements are things that he is dictating. that he is dictating to her. >> they sound very trumpian. >> very trumpian. he is launching a full-scale assault on this book, you know, clearly this is just another front in the multi-front war against this white house. but i think as you teed up at the top of the segment, we're going to see all of these people under oath on the record talking about what happened. that is more powerful than an anonymous book. >> gabe, good to see you. neera tanden, thank you for sticking around. tonight's last word concludes now. "the 11th hour" with brian williams begins. >>> the election that gave us donald trump three years ago this very night, and now we're days away from public televised impeachment hearings. the president's talking points haven't changed in three years. it's all a hoax reported by the fake news media. the problem is it's about to get real. >>> in the meantime, even more testimony just out today further implicates rudy and brings

stephanie grisham saying they show there is less evidence for this illegitimate impeachment sham than previously thought and highlights part of the sondland testimony where he's uncertain and adds no amount of salacious media biased headlines which are clearly designed to influence the narrative change the fact that the president has done nothing wrong. jake. >> alex marquardt, thanks sop. and let's chew into this. and i want to drive into sondland using the word insidious. this whole thing was a sort of a continuum. it starts as trump saying talk to rudy and then let's get the ukrainians to talk about corruption and that isn't enough we need to talk about the 2016 elections and bur he's ma investigations and it kept getting more insidious as the time line went on and at the end of the continuum, i believed there was a link between the white house visit and aid to the ukraine being held up. david urban you are a 2020 campaign adviser. insidious is gordon sondland's word. not schiff or the media. sondland. >> a couple ever things about sondland, he goes back to correct this. i think am

>> reporter: so, brooke, read you stephanie grisham's statement and point to what we saw in the testimony released today from gordon sondland, ambassador to the european union. stephanie grisham press secretary says beth transcripts released shows less evidence for this illegitimate impeachment sham than previously thought says ambassador sondland squarely says he does not know and still does not know when aid was suspended presumedals a link to the aid but can't identify a solid source for that assumption and points to other testimony from kurt volker released today. brooke, looking at gordon sondland's testimony today you see he updated that testimony and it is a pretty exclusive acknowledgement a statement they wanted made by the ukrainians especially the ukrainian president was tied to the release of that military aid by this white house. so in sondland's addendum, updated from when he testified, "i do now recall a conversation had with a top aide to the ukrainian president september 1, 2019 where he says in that one on one with the top aide to the ukrainian president, i said the resu

the white house press secretary, stephanie grisham, said the president was simply anticipating a busy 2020 and wanted to take advantage of some free time that he had in washington. but ana, it's the white house's handling of this trip to walter reed that is raising concerns and questions. unlike the last two years when the white house had announced the president's physical visit ahead of time, put it on the daily schedule, today it was an unannounced visit to walter reed medical center. in fact, the reporters traveling with the president today were not told where they were headed, they were not allowed to report that the president was leaving the white house, was making movements as we call it in town. and stephanie grisham, white house press secretary, has sought to dispel any notion there were other health concerns afoot that prompted this visit. she said in a statement after a quick exam and labs the president is headed back downtown, the president remains healthy and energetic without complaints as demonstrated by his repeated vigorous rallying performances in front of thousands o

stephanie grisham, from what my reporting has indicated, basically takes dictation from trump. these statements are things that he is dictating. that he is dictating to her. >> they sound very trumpian. >> very trumpian. he is launching a full-scale assault on this book, you know, clearly this is just another front in the multi-front war against this white house. but i think as you teed up at the top of the segment, we're going to see all of these people under oath on the record talking about what happened. that is more powerful than an anonymous book. >> gabe, good to see you. neera

white house press secretary stephanie grisham said in a statement earlier today when the president arrived at walter reed the president anticipating a very busy 2020 the president is taking advantage of a free weekend here in washington d.c. to begin portions of his routine annual physical exam at the white house. but, ana, it is the white house handling of this trip that is raising questions. even internally at the white house we're told the president's visit to walter reed was not on his internal schedule as of this morning and furthermore the visit was also not on the public schedule, which it typically has been the two previous years the white house announced when the president was going to get his physical, put it on the daily public schedule released the night before every one of the president's working days. grisham has however sought to dispel any notion this was related to anything other than a routine medical visit. she said in a statement after the president returned from walter reed that the president remains healthy and energetic without complaints as demonstrated by his repea

let's listen to stephanie grisham. >> absolutely. we've got a really busy year ahead, as you can imagine. so the president decided to go to walter reed and get a headstart with routine checkups as part of his annual exam. that's all it was. it was very routine. he is healthy as can be. i put a statement out about that. he's got more energy than anybody in the white house. that man works from 6:00 a.m. until you know very, very late at night. he's doing just fine. >> and the president himself was off twitter for a number of hours. after midnight, tweeted about this as well. again, saying he visited a family and talked about phase one of my yearly physical exam. he said everything very good, great. will complete next year. the difference is that when the president has gone for his annual physical that was scheduled, the doctors involved were announced, there were photos of the president meeting with the white house physician and the duration of the visited lasted longer. we've not been told why this was only a portion, a quick checkup.

this is from stephanie grisham. let me read it to you and get your reaction. she says, quote, the white house is currently reviewing chairman nadler's letter. but what is obvious to every american is that this comes at the end of an ill legitimate sham process. what can you tell us about these behind-the-scenes deliberations. >> reporter: good to be with you, kristen. and this is a new question for the white house, because one of the chief defenses that the president, his republican allies have been making is that impeachment process thus far has excluded the president from having the kind of due process that he thinks he is entitled to and would want. and so this is a difference that the rules allow under the house judiciary for the president to appear himself. now, we happen to know that he is scheduled to be in europe for a nato conference, but it also extends to having his own counsel present to question the witnesses who will be on the panel next week. and so for the white house to say they're considering this opens the door to the possibility that they c

grisham also saying the president has done nothing wrong democrats know that this process is illegitimate that's what i think we're going to see moving forward is that an attack of the process the fact that up till now this is been a closed door process the depositions the hearings they've all not been open to the public and what that means is the president has not had his defense counsel present so moving forward even though now this has been formalized even though it has been open to the public and the president can have a defense counsel present he hasn't prior to this and so this is the argument the white house is making that the process is illegitimate it's been tainted because the evidence collected so far in their view is not credible the question becomes whether or not the ordinary voter in tracking with this whether or not this matters to them right now the white house trying to portray donald trump as the victim of a partisan u.s. house of representatives whether or not now that things are opened up in the public has an opportunity here the evidence whether or not that sways pub

white house press secretary stephanie grisham came out with a sarcastic statement on the book's author, saying, "it takes a lot of conviction and bravery to write a whole book anonymously." norah? >> o'donnell: paula, thank you. all right. it is time to bundle up fast. an icy blast of arctic air is invading a big part of the country tonight. it's already dusted the campus of michigan tech in snow. beautiful. more than 70% of americans will face freezing temperatures in the next week. lonnie quinn of wcbs-tv in new york has the forecast. hey lonnie. >> okay, norah, this cold air will take place in two phases. the first phase is this cold front making its way through the east. right now, snow is falling in vermont and upstate new york. the bigger story, the cold air behind it. tomorrow afternoon every number on the board here is a record cold high temperature, meaning the warmest reading you get in rockford, illinois, will be 30 degrees. that's our record. the warmest reading you get in worcester, 31. that's a record, as well. but stage two happens and it's a bigger, stronger stage. by t

press secretary stephanie grisham had first responded to the invitation saying nadler's offer is being reviewed, but the president has done nothing wrong, and the democrats know it. >> when you complain and complain and complain and then you have an opportunity to put your story to the american public and you don't want to do it, and you don't want to be subject to cross-examination yourself, it shows you don't have a very good story and a very good defense. >> reporter: this coming week the intelligence committee is expected to submit to the judiciary committee its report detailing the findings of its eight week-long investigation which included historic public witness testimony with correct and former officials with roles related to the ukraine scandal. >> i think there's a mountain range of evidence that has come to light through public testimony, through the private depositions that i've had an opportunity to listen to. >> reporter: nadler will use the intelligence committee's report as a guide to help write the articles of impeachment on those ukraine-related charges. the allegati

and press secretary stephanie grisham lashed out against the impeachment hearing calling it a kangaroo court adding, "the two star witnesses in this impeachment sham have never spoken to potus." but even though the communications team is allegedly adding two new spokespeople to handle all questions about impeachment this, declaration from last month seems to be holding up. >> i don't have teams. everyone is talking about teams. i'm the team. >> reporter: today, president trump was the only one from the white house to push back against democrats on camera. >> this is a sham and shouldn't be allowed. >> reporter: those two spokespeople who are slated to join the white house staff, including the former attorney general of florida, pam bondi, still don't have start dates. cbs news has learned they're in the process of completing paperwork which takes time. and a senior white house official told us it won't make much difference because they say the current messaging plan is working. >> o'donnell: all right, weijia, thank you. now let's get some expert analysis with "face the nation" moderat
