speaker pelosi's house just gave in to a temptation that every other house in history has managed to resist. let me say that again. speaker pelosi's house just gave in to a temptation that every other house in our history has managed to resist. they impeached a president whom they do not even allege has committed an actual crime known to our laws. they've impeached simply because they disagree with a presidential act and question the motive behind it. so let's look at history. andrew johnson impeachment involved around a clear violation of a criminal statute albeit an unconstitutional statute. nixon had obstruction of justice, a felony under our laws. clinton had perjury, also a felony. now the constitution does not say the house can impeach only those presidents who violate a law, but history matters. history matters and precedent matters. and there were important reasons why every previous house of representatives in american history restrained itself, restrained itself from crossing this rub rubicon. the framers of our constitution very specifically discussed this issue. whether t

house. exactly the kind of things over which presidents of both parties have asserted privilege in the past. predictably and appropriately they didn't simply roll over. he defended the constitutional authority of his office, no surprise there. it's not a constitutional crisis for the house to want more information than a president wants to give up. that's not a constitutional crisis, it is a routine occurrence. separation of powers is messy by design. here's what should have happen happened. either the president and congress o negotiate a settlemet or the third branch of government, the judiciary address the dispute between the other two. the nixon impeachment featured disagreements over presidential privilege. so they went to court. the clinton impeachment over presidential privilege so they went to the courts. this takes time. it's inconvenient. that's actually the point. the new processes and meant to maximize the convenience of the prosecutor. it's been to protect the accused. but this t

the mou provides for the structure of the housing commission a housing authority commission and it allows for under state law only the mayor can appoint the commission. the mou provides for the mayor to appoint four members and for the board to recommend three members to be appointed by the mayor and it's consistent with state law. now i want to point out this is state law so if there is a change in the structure of the commission, they could in fact, also advocate for changes at the state level. and our recommendation, though, is that the admin could cod codify since this structure since it was recommended through the mo but i'll turn this over to mr. givner. >> i'm city attorney, john givner. so the state law restricts how the city can appoint members of the housing authority. under the mou the proposed plan is for the mayor to appoint the members of the housing authority and the mayor has committed in a letter that she submitted to the file this week and in the mou itself that she will follow the recommendations of the board for certain members of the commission. that provision in the

in my word to aggressively expand affordable housing in my district, the lack of housing organizations has been challenging. we are grateful for the support of some organizations we have been able to partner with, like the mission economic development agency, which we work with to preserve housing for a dozen low-income seniors in outer taraval through the first small sites acquisition in the sunset, but to move as aggressively as the resolution requires, we need more organizations focused on community development in the west side with understanding, relationships, and commitments to our neighborhood, so thanks again to supervisor fewer and assemblyman ting, and i'd like to be added as a cosponsor to this item. thanks. >> president yee: okay. did you catch that, supervisor fewer? supervisor mar wanted to be added as a cosponsor, and so do i. thank you. colleagues, can we take this same house, same call? without objection, this resolution is adopted unanimously.

we must fix the current housing crisis using a house to house approach. we must also fixed the governance model and address underlining issues to ensure systemic change. over the last ten months, we identified our government falls, initiated a commander driven town halls and created a 24 hour helpline to hear feedback directly from the families affected. we have a empowered the chain of command as a part of the solution, created transparency in the work order process and ultimately, sought to regain the trust of the men and women in our ranks and their families. we directed housing as our top quality-of-life priority and aligning resources. as a demonstration of our commitment to this issue, we assigned housing operations to the four-star commander of our material command who at the delegated authority would hold incentive fees. we developed new incentive fee metrics measure delete the measuring workforce response, repair quality and resident satisfaction to allow us to withhold fees for substandard performances. as a tri- service residents bill obillof r

move to the house floor next week? >> one word, insane. this is totally insane. but it's just sad, really. i don't know why they're doing this. because i haven't heard anything of evidence so far that proved it. maybe a little ignorance on donald trump's part for not knowing the rules of the game. but anyone can make that mistake. each of them have done it when they first came into power. my big question was how do we not impeach congress, but relieve them of their breaking the oath of office? because i've seen in just these hearings adam schiff, mainly, break his oath of office. and break the law. when he's released information or slipped out things he's not supposed to. and it's a felony. >> thanks for the call. a former cspan congressional producer now with fox news and this tweet outlining the vote today as we said earlier. 23-17. he points out that one democrat, ted lieu of california has been out of week, had a medical procedure and he's expected to be back with a full recovery. he's been recovering here in washi

he has not treated it with the gravity that the clinton white house or the nixon white house did. but it is still something that is going to define him, even if he were to win re-election next year, which is something we should of course not count out. that's something that could still happen. but this is now -- as i think one of your later guests jon meacham put it, this is now part of, when i spoke to him today, this is part of his entry in the history books. he has been impeached and nothing can ever change that. >> mara gay, a couple things to note with you. number one the michigan history of your family and how we've seen the memory of john dingell soiled tonight, something we never thought we'd see. but also a mixed metaphor alert. what happens when the impeachment aura runs into the trump wall and seeps into the nation's bloodstream? i guess that's an unknowable at this early date. >> it is a momentous day. it does cut through all the noise. and it has me thinking about a few things. one is that i think for a majority of americans who didn't vote for this president and who

white house. the fact isan the trump does not want to be an impeached president and look like he will be does not want to have that on his resume and politically it's better to run for reelection as an un- impeached president then one who has been voted and impeached by the house. it is not all positive for the white house from the campaign and the other thing is the impeachment trial as it goes forward in the senate means more headlines and emphasis on trump actions and what he did on the call with the ukraine leader asking for a favor that can be politicallyti advantageous. all of that attention there is concern among consultants that it could eventually tide of public opinion. >> speaking of defections, what's the likelihood of the michigan representativean who ws a republican turned independent becomes a house manager that the speaker assigns him along with other democrats to become a house manager? >> there are a group of democrats who want that to happen and want him as part of the house exe

in the house. they've got a lousy case. i have no desire to try to perfect it for them. so what happened in the clinton case is you took the record of trial from the house. the house managers, of which i was one, argued it was impeachable conduct. the president's lawyers got to argue otherwise. then there was a request for witnesses that was denied. it was not bipartisan support for witnesses in the clinton trial. and we moved to a vote on the articles of impeachment. i think what's going to happen here is that they're going to bring over the impeachment articles, i hope. if they don't, it would be a constitutional outrage. we'll listen to the house's case. the president will weigh in on his side of the story. and witnesses will be denied because i this i most senators will be ready to get it over with. >> bret: i'm not going to play the sound bites. >> you can. >> bret: i had a list of them. we beat around this bush. but how do you close that circle with what you said back then and what you're say

the house was ready to take it up under republican leadership of the house at the time. steve: we remember so much drama. we went through three speakers within a couple days, first with the resignation of newt in line, and the next then what happened? alexis: there was a scramble to figure out. allies bob lewiston's tried to talk him out of it. it was interesting, because he made the decision to resign with some agony. steve: he resigned because? alexis: he resigned because in theas a full-on press democratic world and larry flynt was asking for anyone to come forward about anyone involved in impeachment who had extramarital relationships themselves, and it became reported, and he understood larry flynt was going to publish that he had had indiscretions in his own marital life. >> to my colleagues, my friends and most especially my wife and family, i have hurt you all deeply and i beg your forgiveness. i was prepared to lead our narrow majority as speaker, and i believe i had it in me to do a fine job, but i cannot do that job. alexis: he was not the only one. other hous

forgive me but house democrats cannot be held responsible for the craven this of the house republican caucus in their blind fealty to the president. leader mcconnell claimed the impeachment was motivated i partisan rage. this from the man who said proudly -- i am not impartial and i have no intention to be impartial at all in the trial of president trump. what hypocrisy. leader mcconnell accused the house democrats of an obsession to get rid of president trump and this from the man who proudly declared his number one goal was to make president obama a one term president. leader mcconnell claimed the democrats impeach i the presidet for asserting executive privilege and president trump never formally claimed executive privilege in claimed quote, absolute immunity. the white house counsel wrote a letter since stating simply that the administration would not comply with any subpoenas. leader mcconnell claims the democrats quote, obsession with impeachment has presented or prevented the house from pursuing legislation to help the american people. leader mcconnell knows very, very well tha

hill's testimony bf the house. the former national security adviser for europe and russia who said that nearry is a fictional narrative being perpetrated and propagated by the russian security services themselves. do you have any reason to disagree with dr. hill? david hail says i do not. he said that today and yet we had senator kennedy on the air with my colleague, chuck todd, on sunday. saying yes, ukraine meddled. are you confident that the argument is going to go anywhere in the senate when you have senators who are supposed to have a brief iing about russia attacking refusing to go to that briefing or not looking and seek ing out that information then propagating russian talking points. >> well, i have a lot of worry about that. i have a lot of worry that the senate is not going to allow the republicans, to take an open view of the evidence, but senator kennedy is trying to challenge hill's account that it was a fictional narrative. in doing that, after director mueller testified, by the way, on july 24th, th

the house has put together a very strong case. the president abused his power and wanted to let a foreignpower interfere in our election. that goes to the heart of what our democracy is . and what the foundingfathers warned against . and now, to not allow witnesses to come forward who would be able to discuss what actually happened. if we don't have them, the trial will be fair. the four witnesses we propose have direct knowledge of why aid to ukraine was delayed. and the administration's request for ukraine to conduct to investigations for political reasons . they haddirect knowledge of those facts . we don't know as i said what kind of evidence they will present. it may be incriminating. maybe exculpatory. it may influence how senators vote and it may not. but they certainlyought to be heard . by virtue of their senior positions in the white house, each witness we named was directly involved in the events that led to thecharges made by the house . we've also proposed subpoenaing certain records including emails by certain key of

reporter: if the house democrats feel they have enough to impeach in the house why isn't that enough for the senate. mr. schumer: there are some who may think it's enough, we have to wait and not prejudge the case. there are many who said these are serious charges. i'm not sure there's enough factual evidence to merit impeachment. these people know better than anybody else the facts, there's no reason on god's green earth why they shouldn't be called and testify unless you're afraid of what they might say. reporter: if you can't reach an agreement, will that -- mr. schumer: i'm hopeful. leader mcconnell has said he's willing to sit down and talk and i'm willing and eager to do that. we want to come up with a fair trial where the facts come out without dilatory actions a and without making this into a circus of unrelated conspiracy theories of either the right or left. last question, back there with the beard. reporter: on that last point, there are republicans, including the president of the united states, who have some ideas for witnesses, are you willing if leader mcconnell were to

senate with the house impeachment inquiry has rattled this white house and revealed an irrefutable trail of evidence that donald j. trump conditioned military aid for a nation at war on a commitment to investigate the bidens in a debunked conspiracy theory about the 2016 election. and house speaker nancy pelosi suggesting this afternoon that a decision from trump to stay out of the proceedings in the house will speak volumes from "the washington post," quote, anything they have that is exculpatory, this is their moment pelosi told reporters at the capitol. but they have a consciousness of guilt, and that's why they may not show up. we'll see. maybe they will. they have until 5:00 today. the house impeachment inquiry will likely once again garner wall-to-wall coverage all day monday when the judiciary committee hears testimony on that blockbuster house intel committee report that revealed, among other things, for the first time a tantalizing list of phone records. it's the kind of evidence that has the white house unnerved and house intel committee chairman adam schiff in a new interview

housing. and additionally, you don't havt i've seen someone really, reallg with accessibility issues. and it's not enough to kick it d say dbi will deal with this aftl the buildings. this is the wrong way of doing . accessibility should be built i. we have all kinds of institutioy that have gotten the face of go, conservatory of music, san fran, every one, every real art insti, california arts and crafts, havu building houses. why? because they see that they can'o come to san francisco because wg crisis. and so they are building thousaf housing. usf, chris was talking about lid by housing under construction a. usf has got the right idea. and ironically so has the conse. and the irony, it was the consec is building houses at van ness. and what is on the other side oy line? basically academy of arts site,e being allowed to sell. and i have filed a dr, an old-fn that project and been wiped oute settlement. they should be forced to build s and van ness. they have all these opportunitye educational

the house has been doing the opposite. they had a court ready to rule on a subpoena in the cupperman case and the house pulled the subpoena. >> i want to continue this debate, but quickly to nancy cortez on capitol hill. nancy, who is presiding currently over the debate? >> reporter: it is diana degette of colorado, she's a 22-year veteran of the house. she was selected by speaker pelosi herself to serve in this role because she's done it before and serving as speaker pro tem requires you know the house rules inside and out. degette has the experience to have a firm grasp of those rules. that's why she's taking on this role. norah, on the question you were asking and talking to major about regarding why now, why take the step now, why not wait for the courts to rule? what we've heard over and over from democrats in the closing weeks is that they feel they have to act now because the next election is at stake. the president has said publicly that he would like not only ukraine, but china to investigate joe biden and because

that's something white house officials as close to the white house are seizes on as we get the first read of this report. that this is bigger, as you've pointed out, democrats are making this bigger than just here's what's going on in ukraine. this is about democracy. this is about our system of checks and balances. >> that is a weakness in the argument do you think? >> they do. they think this is a line democrats can't walk back. yes. >> why is that? why do they think that's a -- >> because they would like to say, democracy -- >> yes. they believe it's political overreach and a misreading how this will play out with the voters. again, this is their -- this is kind of the early read from people on that side of things, but that's the way they look at it and it isn't you're seeing, too, because of the transcript. even today talking to someone who pointed to, go back to the transcript. what's so clear here is the dramatic cha sherescendo saying was one piece of the puzzle. >> one of the things in the preface. in president george washington's farewell address, sort of answers what you sa

in the house? >> perhaps, but -- i still think that hearing from people explaining the, you know, the fundamentals of the constitution and the founding fathers and why these rules were put in place are probably things that members of congress who already have been seriously considering this because they are potentially on the fence have already considered. but you never know. it is possible. but if there is somebody who is thinking about it, going back to your point, your fellow democrats are not doing enough to push back against jonathan turley, the proposal -- i see what you're saying. who cares what john turley says. the whole point of this hearing that the democrats are in charge put on was to hear constitutional league legal experts persecutive and why wouldn't they push back on the one republican there? if they are -- >> one republican witness? >> one republican witness, thank you, and trying to achieve the goal swaying public opinion. >> one other point worth pointing out, he was asked, i gu

back there is no mold in the house. so we've found it's difficult to find a reliable test. >> would you allow families to seek a second opinion on the presence of mold in their homes by licensed third party experts? >> we support anything that our residents choose to pursue for evidentiary purposes. again we found that testing is unreliable because it can go either way, if could be a false positive or false negative. >> thank you. i'd like to -- how much time do i have? chairman, i yield. >> thank you. >> one of the aspects of this crisis that i think is really important is prevention and mitigation. at fort drum we have a relatively young population of young soldiers, young military families. often times this is the first time that they're responsible for their home that they're living in. how are you, mr. hickey, investing and sort of providing educational materials for those young family members and young service members to know to contact you before something gets to a crisis level that we've seen in some of these p

cut out of the house process. it was recorded none of the usual courtesies of rights that have been given to presidents accused of such things in the past. the republicans were not allowed to call their own witnesses, so i think that mcconnell's interest is in making sure that the white house feels that what does happen in the senate does accord with past practice and that they are given their say. >> dana: mcconnell and apparently he has said that he is ready to sit down and talk? looks like schumer is ready to as well. we might be getting more information soon. kim strassel, thank you. >> thank you, dana. >> dana: president trump is looking forward to debating the democratic nominee next year after reports of the president was considering sitting out of events organized by the debate commission. peter doocy is live in des moines, iowa, with more in the campaign trail. what could keep president trump from debating a democrat next year? >> the commission itself, dana, because the president apparently does not thin

sent to the floor of the house by the house judiciary committee. that committee vote could happen as early as thursday of this week. democrats alleged that president trump abused the power of his office by pushing a foreign government, the ukrainians, to interfere in the 2020 election. and then they say the president stonewalled congress from conducting proper oversight. the response from the president and his allies has large by been to dispute empirical facts, to muddle the truth with half truths and confusion, to lie, to put party unity above the obviously answer to a question, is it okay for a president to ask a foreign nation to investigate a political rival. alex marquardt said the vote is expected to fall largely among partisan lines. >> good morning, everyone. >> reporter: a solemn day. speaker nancy pelosi called it as the democratic leadership announced for the fourth time in american history articles of impeachment against a president. judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler laying out the two articles that charge the president with co

who is your house member? caller: my house member? they have changed so much here lately, i don't to know to be honest with you. host: harold, thank you for phoning in. caller: thank you. i appreciate it. this is the first time i have done this. host: don't be a stranger, call back, ok? caller: ok, thank you. host: we will go to don in rochester, new york. caller: thank you for taking my call. i will give you a little background. i was a grandfather, democrat for 46 years. my dad ran for political office in my small town in upstate new york. back then, you did what your parents did. you are grandfathered. over the years, and this gets lost in the fog of all of this. everybody should be taking a look at what the party stands for. i do not believe in partisan politics. i do not care if you are blue, green, yellow -- i don't care. i am always of the assumption for them going to vote very best candidate that has the best interests at heart for the american people. i don't care what you are, who you are, what party. this partisan politics

the house will stay in order the gentleman deserves to be heard germans recognized . and. because we have an electoral college but none of these are reasons to pursue what chairman shifts has called and wrenching process for the nation in fact democrats rejected that process in fact only in 3 specific votes in december of 2017 democrats overwhelmingly voted against pursuing articles of impeachment including the speaker and myself. we did so again in 2018 with over 60 percent of the democrats rejecting pursuing articles of impeachment and again just months ago in july of 201960 percent of the democrats said no to pursuing articles of impeachment just days before the infamous july 25th telephone call we did the same with 60 percent of democrats voting not to proceed credible witnesses many of whom were appointed to office by president trump have corroborated the details and timeline of his abuse of presidential power which forms the basis of the 1st article of impeachment in this resolution instead i will not recount all of the witnesses or abuses that have occurred i congra

so the white house sees this as leverage for them. they think they can capitalize on what nancy pelosi said last night. they have a feeling that he has a good grasp on this and broad power and this isn't going to afford the house speaker a lot of leverage. >> john, david, kaitlan, thank you all for being here and walking us through this moment in history. >>> house republicans threw out a lot of arguments against impeachment, including comparisons to pearl harbor and christ's crucifixion. will gop senators stick to the same tactics moving forward? are those good analogies? sfx: [sneezing] i am not for ignoring the first sign of a cold. i am for shortening my cold, with zicam! zicam is completely different. unlike most other cold medicines, zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. i am a zifan for zicam! oral or nasal. with pronamel repair toothpaste, we can help actively repair enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. my go to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair. ♪ ladies and gentlemen mymini is a different kind of c

a vote to impeach almost certain in the house and a trial to come in senate where the white house could call their own witnesses from the biden family to the whistle-blower. >> he's not relieved but we did expect this. we want it to be fair. if this in fact moves to the senate as we think it will, it needs to be fair and thorough. >> reporter: the president started lashing out from social media bunker tweeting to impeach a president who has proven results including the strongest economy in our country's history to have one of the most suck ceaseful presidencies ever and done nothing wrong is sheer madness. mick mulvaney who has been barred from testifying in the house said it is up to the president to decide who will participate. >> we'll do whatever the president wants us to do. if the president directs us to do it, we will. if he directs us not to. we won't. >> and that dodgy answer is why house democrats decided to move forward with articles of impeachment without the blockbuster witnesses and rudy giuliani to mike pompeo. >> the argument why don't you just wait amounts to this -- wh

there will be 6,514 units of housing when all is said and done, of which 29% will be affordable housing. for commercial there will be 5 million square feet. for office, lab, and clinical use, 560,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail, and event center, for ucsf there is a campus where they are provided 43 acres. they will be building the .6 million square feet of developments. 550 bed hospital complex, 250 room hotel, a public library in public safety building with fire and police stations, and public schools. a little bit of context here in the map, north of mission creek is mission bay north project area. this is residential and commercial. to the south is mission bay south project area. the residential area is in the northern portion and the commercial is in the southern portion. in the center, the ucsf campus that i spoke about is located there. also in the previous slide we talked about 40,000 linear feet. that is about seven and a half miles of new roads and streets. you can see where they started to put the grid together. in addition to the streets, there's all the infra

chief white house correspondent jim acosta is at the white house for us. how did they respond to senator schumer, or did they? >> reporter: it was a pretty predictable response. the white house press secretary stephanie grisham said it was laughable, this request from chuck schumer for testimony. the white house going on to say this is a sign the democrats don't have a case to convict and remove the president from office. but one thing that the white house did not say is, yes, you can have your witnesses, which is why people like chuck schumer are saying, what does the white house have to hide? i will tell you, anderson, talking to my sources this evening, there is a view inside the white house that what chuck schumer did earlier today was essentially respond to the president and other republicans saying they want to see hunter biden. they want to see the whistle-blower testify as if chuck schumer is saying, listen, if you want to bring in your witnesses, we'll want to bring in our witnesses, which means it will be in the interest of both sides to have a s

house side. which has been a tactical decision because they claim the democrats running that process have been inherently unfair to the president. even though there have been ways in which democrats on the committees involved have offered and invited the president and his legal team to either send legal representation, request witnesses, and so forth. and the decision from the white house has been, at each iteration, that they are not participating. and in some ways, a more arm's reach kind of situation where they have blocked things like subpoenas. not made people available to testify and so on. so today, expect a kind of a period at the end of the sentence when it comes to participation in any of the house proceedings. we expect that letter and notification will come sometime this afternoon. no -- no expectation that that won't take place. and all the indications we're getting, and of course we've got to wait to see it officially, is that the president will take a pass on the house and wait for

as data from the first housing report highlights, we aren't simply in a housing crisis, we're in a housing affordability crisis and our unique challenges in san francisco require thought. data-driven solutions. not broad stroke mandate based on a mentality or blind faith or even mitigate our affordability crisis. last week the g.a.o. committee approved my proposed amendments to the board's original resolution. the amendments clearly state the need for sb50 to ensure that existing area plans are respected and allow the community to engage in planning to increase housing density giving communities a seat at the table. number two, capture more of the value conferred to developers when we up-zone and direct it to affordable housing and community benefits. number three, provide meaningful funded and enforceable protections against displacement and gentrification. and number 4, ensure there is adequate transportation resources to go alongside housing development. i went to work in good faith with the state representatives as we work on our local efficients on community planning and affordable ho

for supportive housing. the other units are usually nonprofit-owned and operated, many of them are affordable housing that we collaborate on with the mayor's office on housing and community development. you had a variety of sessions. and i'm trying to speak directly to those. the way it usually works is when we master lease a build, we have to provider to develop a lease, and it is for the entire building. there are legacy units in the building, which means there are already tenants in the units, those are, of course, preserved. we will only utilize the units that are vacant. and we will refer to those who are coordinated, so it's for people who are the most vulnerable out on the streets. the master leases are usually -- well, they have been in the past, often for ten years, and at times also had extension opportunities for ten years, usually times two. so we have leases that are just now running out that started in the late 1990s. sorry, i'm going back. i'm dating myself. i started in the late 1980s. so we

preparing to make us political history the house begins a debate that could see donald trump become only the us president to be impeached. the whole impeachment thing is a hoax all trump's dismissed the move as an attempted coup knocking the charges against him as we. look again i'm just on the attack and this is out of there and my friends are also coming up. protest in new delhi off to india's top court postpones a hearing on the contentious to citizenship table. and rivals fear it cries and imagine to the wilds of 4th biggest carmaker. now u.s. president on the trump could be just hours away from being written into history as only the 3rd u.s. president to be impeached it's now 16 g.m.t. that's 11 am in washington d.c. where the u.s. house of representatives has begun a session on capitol hill to debate and then vote whether to send him to a senate trial well that's all but certain because trump's opponents in the democratic party have a majority in that no one chamber of congress ahead of the vote debate is underway right now on the 2 articles of impeachment which could last up to 6

when you guys were debating this in the house, house democrats said you couldn't hold off on impeachment. couldn't even wait for the courts to decide house subpoenas because donald trump was such a threat to the nation. here are some of your colleagues during this process. >> the president's continuing course of conduct constitutes a clear and present danger to democracy in america. >> this is not a rush to judgment. it's a rush to justice. we must not delay. >> could we find a more perfect description of the present danger emminuteing from 1600 pennsylvania avenue? chris: if president trump is such a threat, this case is so urgent, why not send impeachment to the senate right away? >> first of all, did you think the united states senate would start the trial before january 6th. you have no idea what would happen in the next few weeks as leaders are trying to negotiate what would happen. as i remind you, republican impeachment with president bill clinton the managers were not appointed until january 6th. i hope leaders will continue to talk. i think what, you know this, was one of the ha

housing and homelessness. the questions on the topics have been rarer than a sub$2,000 rental and no questions on those stopics. were yprised in. >> zero. i was surprised. i was very was -- it's too bad for the di moderators thethat and us, too bad for e candidates. california starts to vote the same day as the iowa caucuses they want to show what i they know about california and how they derstand their oblems. they didn't get a chance to do n'that. they dt talk about homessness or housing and there is a quick talk about wildfirecland ate change, other than that, nothing about california. >> melanie, where do you think california was in this debate? what happened? >> that is surprising when it comes to housing d homelessness. the candidates have housing and homelessness plans, which is kind of a rarity for a national campaign. so it's not like they would no the have been prepar talk about the issue, if it was brought up. perhaps they deserve blame for not thwedging issue in. lord knows a politician can find a

floor for the full house's consideration. that historic vote is still expected some time today. when it gets to the house floor which we're expecting to happen by early next week, potentially tuesday or wednesday for a house floor voerkts that's when the real vote counting will take flas which the president could be the third president to be impeached in history. democrats expect to have a majority to support both articles of impeachment, but there could be defections beyond two democrats who have already expressed their opposition. we are hearing from democratic leadership sources that they expect potentially a handful more to defect, particularly ones in swing districts. those swing district democrats told me the last couple of days, they are still weighing this seriously. they'll go back home this weekend and listen to voters and hear what -- get feedback before ultimately determining how they come down. and nancy pelosi has indicated they can vote however they so choose. at the moment, wolf, we do expect this vote to pass
