we didn't hear anything from donald trump until 1:49 p.m. when while all of this is unfolding, president trump sent out a tweet. this was the first thing he did when he learned the united states capitol, all the members of congress, his own vice-president was under violent attack. and what was that tweet? nearly an hour after the rioters breached the capitol perimeter at 1:49 donald trump released a propaganda reel of his save america speech that he'd given an hour before. i want to be clear. the events i juts described, the rioters are breaching the capitol, attacking law enforcement, the violence is being broadcast all over the television for the whole world to see, including the president of the united states, and i want to show you, this is what's happening right before donald trump sends that video out again and as he does it. >> our country has had enough, we will not take it anymore and that's what this is all about. and to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal because you'll never take

trump and there are others like ted cruz josh hawley marco rubio who voted with donald trump for one reason one reason being that in 2024 they would like to run for president and so they think to do that they have to convince the trump support that the are with them that they will continue the work of donald trump an interesting thing to note is by being acquitted that me. that donald trump can run for office in the future if he so wishes and there are people talking about him being a presidential candidate in 2024 years he could run again and his supporters think that not only should run he will win so you become the 45th president of the united states and the 47th president of the united states no one ever said that politics in the u.s. was boring indeed stay with us we have some reaction from a u.s. house speaker democrat nancy pelosi who took specific issue with mitch mcconnell's logic for voting against impeachment saying he was the one who delay the trial in the 1st place for mitch mcconnell who created the situation where it could not have been heard before that 20 year or eve

trump himself you'll know that in the last impeachment they thought about subpoenaing donald trump but he would be able to essentially slow up the whole process by saying presidents to do that sort of thing although you'll remember that bill clinton gave evidence during his impeachment on the balance at the moment if you to ask me i would see he's probably going to get where did it all depends on the witnesses what they bring and whether or not that's strong enough that the senators who who know what happened who were here when it happened and nor what donald trump did but are convinced that he didn't incite the crowd if those witnesses change that view and that convinces 17 republicans to vote with the democrats who are almost all going to block to impeach donald trump and give them 67 votes which is what you need you need a 2 thirds majority in the 100 seat senate to convict the president of impeachment all right thanks so much that's beautiful stuff there from alan fischer let's go down the gallacher is live for us in west palm beach in florida we were to ask i know is off twitter w

he can't stand donald trump. he thinks donald trump cost him the majority. but, also, he has to worry about donors who write seven-figure checks who are totally put off by donald trump at this point, and, frankly, even if he voted to convict, he knew the majority of his caucus was not going to follow him, and that would expose a real weak finance terms of his leadership. >> that's interesting there, kasie. does that comport with your reporting, that mcconnell -- that's the debate. would mcconnell have been able to bring over ten votes or not? claire seems to indicate he might not have been able to. >> i think it was a real open question. i think had he made a definitive case and really sold it, it's possible that they could have gotten there, but the reality is that afterward, that group of people was going to be smaller than the group of republicans who were going to vote to acquit donald trump. so there's no scenario where mitch mcconnell can be the minority leader when he sided with the smaller group. so he would have been ceding the power he has. i think

to have donald trump as a witness. so we'll never know, probably, on the development of the evidence exactly what he knew about that statement of his going to the capitol. he knew he was lying when he said he was going with them. did he know he was specifically violating the law of that permit when he was making that declaration? >> i mean, if past is prologue, the notion that donald trump would have an understanding of that level of detail is very far fetched. i don't think he would know that. i understand your point. certainly it would be, you know, a nice little piece of evidence in a courtroom trial but we need to disassociate this notion that what we're going to start to see tomorrow in the senate chamber is akin to a courtroom trial. it's not. it's very far from a courtroom trial. there's nobody who is making any evident area ruling. there's nobody making any rulings as to what arguments are okay. what arguments are not. what law is okay and what law is not. what facts, you know, you can rely on, what you can't r

donald trump controls this party. until somebody can take it over from donald trump, they will continue to act again in their own interests. it is not a loyalty to donald trump. it is a loyalty to themselves. as trump remains popular in the gone republican leaders will go along with him because it serves their electoral interests. >> it is interesting, renee, i played sound from matt miller who was on hair lee harry will itman's podcast. e harry will itman's podcast. if they are bringing up donald trump's name over and over again and trying to put him at the forefront that will desubtract from that messages. if they wanted to be done with president trump they lost their last best chance to advantage wish him yesterday. instead of flexing they flinched and allowed donald trump to remain a player in the republican party. frankly, i am not convinced there is that much of a decide in the party. it is the most bipartisan impeachment vote. that's true, but only seven voted to convict him despite mountains of evidence that h

through my notes that they were saying that donald trump essentially. sparked the crowd and sent them on their way in for 2 hours 3 hours afterwards didn't do anything to stop it and several times they invoke the name of mike pence he is a republican he was very loyal to donald trump essentially i think what they're trying to do is draw a line in saying look mike pence was very loyal to donald trump and look what happened to him he was quite happy essentially to throw him to the crowd and there are they know that there are senators who are sitting in judgment here who are also very loyal to donald trump obliquely saying why why why you bring more oil to don't trump because if it's a case between what he wants and you he's never going to be loyal to use so not quite as dramatic as we saw on wednesday but just continuing to build the case broader and deeper from those opening statements yesterday morning and what's your sense of how this is going to playing with republicans given that it would require 17 of them to to cross over to convict trampy any sens

with donald trump where kevin mccarthy was trying to get donald trump to help stop the violence at the capitol. she has issued a written statement explaining that she has been telling her constituents this actually for several days now, that this is why she voted to impeach the president. she reports that kevin mccarthy told her that donald trump said to him while the attackers were in the capitol and he was watching it on tv, well, kevin, i guess these people are more upset about the election than you are. congresswoman hererra butler goes on to stay in her written statement, since i publicly announced my decision to vote for impeachment i have shared these details in countless conversations with constituents and colleagues and multiple times through the media and other public forums. she has been doing this back in her district, and so it hasn't been coming to national media attention until tonight. i told it to "the daily news" of long view on january 17th. i have shared it with local county republican executive board members as well as other constituents who asked me to explain my

trump on the 6th of january and that got very heated because he called for donald trump to send help because the security lines here had been breached and he had said to kevin mccarthy maybe those people are more interested in the result of the election than you are kevin mccarthy got very angry about that repeated the conversation to several people when he came off the fore and that seemed to be a new development and then we also heard donald trump's lawyer say during the hearing on friday that donald trump was very concerned about the safety of my parents sources close to my parents in the american reporting on friday night said the boy at essentially a lie to the senate that was not the case donald trump did not get in touch was not concerned about his safety so overnight i was speaking to people this morning overnight there was a debate going on among the house impeachment managers and the democrats on whether or not to call witnesses the person i was speaking to said that even until the last minute it was up in the year and i said when will we find when jimmy raskin stands up ji

it's about being -- it's about complete to donald trump. now donald trump is out of office. what could have happened. i think a lot about the wizard of oz and how the people of oz were faithful to the wizard until the curtain got pulled back and he didn't have any power. donald trump doesn't have any power. the republican party needs to figure out what it's with and make its move on that, but they don't have anything right now. trump is all they have. that's what you're seeing lindsey graham express, is that it's really trump or nothing. >> i'm looking down at my paper because i'm trying to figure out which sot from senator cassidy to play. actually, i want to play the -- element 3, his response to george stephanopoulos about whether donald trump will be -- will remain a force in the party. have a listen. >> will he remain a force in the republican party? what does that mean for the republican party? >> i think his force wanes. the republican party is more than just one person. >> michael steele, you're a former chairman of the republican party. is senator cassidy right, wil

these are the reasons why i decided to quit donald trump. he said that was just one draft the only other page there was another draft his name is bill cassidy he had said that essentially he was convinced by the argument he was condemned by his own state party on tuesday for his vote so he is facing a very rough ride when he goes back to louisiana i mean he is a surgeon he's a whole respected surgeon and i'm sure bill cassidy could easily walk back into that job but he likes being a senator he likes helping people he's approached many things on a bipartisan basis and basis but he knows he's going to get a great deal of criticism from his own state party which is not something that often happened in the past a real moment of history that no president has ever been impeached twice only 3 presidents have ever been impeached donald trump is one of them and it's happened to him twice and twice now he has been acquitted i'm seeing on my social media feed some of his supporters absolutely delighted by this idea they're saying great he's going to ru

donald trump had other plans. on december 19, president trump tweeted his save the date for january 6. he told his supporters to come to d.c. for a big protest, the day, billing it as wild. days later, women for america first amended their permit to hold their rally on january 6 pursuant to the president's save the date, instead of after the inauguration. this was deliberate. reports confirm that the president himself, president trump became directly involved with the planning of the event, including speaking line-up, even the music to be played, just as he chose the music for his retweet of the caravan driving the biden-harris bus off the road with that fight song. he brought the same people who spoke at the second million maga martinelli as well. the trump campaign advisor, katrina pearson, who said, this is only the beginning, we are the cavalry, also became directly involved in planning the event. they even sent out invitations together. this is amy kremer, one of the founders of women for america first, taggi

he voted to acquit donald trump. but he said events on the sixth of january wouldn't be forgotton and more action could still be coming. january 6th was a disgrace. american citizens attacked their own government. they used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of domestic business they did not like. fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. they stormed the senate floor. they tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. they built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. they did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth, because he was angry he had lost an election. former president trump's actions proceeded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. now to the leader of the democrats in the senate, chuck schumer. he says justice has not been done and the american people shouldn't forget what had happened when rioters stormed the us capitol. by not recognising the heinous crime that donald trump committed against the constitutio

trump's own words, his tweets and hia speeches, and it was interesting that donald trump essentially laid out the evidence that the impeachment managers were using against him, culminating in that tweet he sent in the afternoon of the riot on capitol hill where he celebrated what happened, saying that this is what happens when an election is stolen, remember this day forever. i think that was a very powerful moment that they came back to time and time again. revelations also about what he was doing and what he failed to do in real—time while it was going on and when he comes out and speaks, he repeats the big lie that helped to rile these people up in the first place. i think you could have a very real debate on whether donald trump's words that moment and leading to that, were done with the knowledge that it would end violence. whether you can hold him responsible or engage in what could be called as typical heated rhetoric. it is difficult for donald trump defenders to address his lack of action during the attack on capitol hill. he is the president of the united states, just a m

initiated by donald trump. that seems like one of the real radioactive spots in the reporting for donald trump. >> yeah, an angry rally in washington, d.c., on january 6th would have been one thing. an angry rally in washington, d.c., on january 6th where the crowd was then pointed at the capitol and told, go get them, that is how we ended up with the capitol breached and if that decision, that staging decision, was made by the president, himself, then this is -- i mean, this is a different level of culpability, and, i mean, it's going to matter for the impeachment. i will be very interested to see what andrew weissmann says about whether it may also implicate the president in potential federal criminal charges or d.c. criminal charges in the future. >> well, then we will get right to it. >> okay. thanks, lawrence. >> thank you, rachel. thank you. congresswoman katie porter is going to join us later in the hour. on a night where it's suddenly mitch mcconnell versus kevin mccarthy. the republican senate leader m

party as buttered on the side of donald trump they have fused themselves forever to donald trump he will control the agenda and of course it gives him a wonderful platform from which to run again in 2024 which you would think would be against their interest particularly people like holly and cruz who may be interested in running in that primary themselves and trying to run for president so what donald trump has controlled the republican party increasingly over the past 4 years and that he is still the face of the republican party mitch mcconnell has a serious problem in keeping his party together which is i think why he did the dance he did voting to acquit though he was signaling all along that he might go ahead and support conviction and then giving a very strong speech suggesting that he does not doubt that the house managers made out their case incitement to insurrection ok many thanks for your thoughts and that assess claire finkelstein professor of law and professor of philosophy university of pennsylvania. thank you for having. let's hear some more of a closing argument start

donald trump was a candidate. he is no longer in my opinion going to be up for any election in the remainder of his lifetime. the party has to move on and get behind donald trump. that's the case in most cases where presidents have left and no longer seek public life. jane: do you think with the end of donald trump's little influence that we will see a toning down in the rhetoric not just from the republican side but the democrat side. is it time for both sides to move on from this? guest: absolutely. the rhetoric on democrats and republicans needs to be toned down a lot and with donald trump, it was always a balancing act between rhetoric versus results. the rhetoric of donald trump worked for the individual who donald trump was, not a politician, a businessman who was thrust into the presidency, highest office in our land, the most powerful man in the world. he never came through the ranks of the party or served in lesser office. i think it's important we returned to that model. donald trump was not an ideologue

says donald trump. no president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number everfor a the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few short months ago. i also want to convey my gratitude to the millions of decent, hard—working, by abiding citizens who have bravely supported these important principles in these very difficult and challenging times. our historic patriotic and beautiful movement to make america great again has onlyjust begun. in the months ahead, i have much to share with you and i look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve american greatness for all of our people. there has never been anything like it. we have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant and

donald trump didn't get to finish that call. he was cut off because the senators had to move to another location for security. thank god they did. because as the call was occurring the rioters got closer to the senate chambers . and as we all know now, but for the heroism of police officer eugene goodman and other law enforcement officers who took them in a ti different direction to the police line , they very likely would have gotten here. think about that. armed insurrection is, guns, weapons, zip ties, brass knuckles. they were coming for us. they were inside the united states capital. trying to stop the certification process. the police were outnumbered. and for the grace of god they would have gotten us. all of us. and our commander-in-chief makes a call about an hour after the siege began not to preserve, protect and defend you and our country and the capital. but to join forces with the mob and pressure a senator to stop certification. we just can't get two this kind of behavior. there can be no doubt as to the purpose of

trump there are many people who made the decision to vote against convicting donald trump because they want the trump supporters to back them in 4 years time when they run for president the likes of joe sholay ted cruz and marco rubio but interestingly enough marco rubio might well be rewarded for his loyalty by finding that he is a primary opponent in florida and the primary opponent according to some of the speculation and certainly well informed speculation could be a trump donald trump's daughter standing up against marco rubio because his seat is up for grabs in 2022 so there's the split between the very much the pro trampling of the party and won't be seen as the establishment when you have people like mitt romney former republican presidential candidate there who's now a senator in uta you have susan collins lisa murkowski ben sasse from nebraska who has been already criticized by his party for voting against donald trump and then one of the surprises was was bill cassidy from louisiana who would be considered to be a trump supporter i suppose because he's backed a number of the

trump left office so it was a bit of a confused message from the from donald trump's team you could see that david shawn was angry at times he was loaded at times he certainly glared at a number of lawmakers on both sides of the house interesting that bruce castor who's the the 1st attorney to speak for donald trump mentioned several senators by name particularly republicans and perhaps was pointing to them to say look that this vote is in. your hands at the argument that the trump team put forward is that this is unconstitutional you're sensually can't impeach a private citizen because to impeach someone means to remove them from office and you can't remove him from office because he's already gone and claiming as well that this was all a partisan move by democrats and you have to remember that 10 republicans also voted for the impeachment is done from a point made by jimmy raskin right at the end that the man who's leading the impeachment drive for the democrats that by saying that this was the most partisan impeachment in american history earlier he had really put forward an emot

despite the pressure from donald trump. anchor: this is also a good point, to make the point, to apologize to viewers. some of the footage we have been showing, some of the explicit language that we have comply, many of this, much of this footage is new. it's unseen footage. i do wonder, how much of what we have been seeing presented by impeachment managers, would have been known or unknown by senators present today. and, how much that is going to play into their decisions when they vote. reporter: some of the footage has been in the public domain for more than one month. the security footage was certainly new. senators were looking quite shocked, they had clearly never seen it. you talk about the republican bubble how they only watch tv stations like fox news, one american news, newsmax. for them, it was probably brand-new, and my change a few votes. but will they get to 67? seems unlikely. let's get back to the senate floor. jamie raskin is speaking. >> we are happy to withdraw it on the grounds that it is not true. we ar

well the 2nd impeachment trial of donald trump is now in full swing we have been hearing donald trump's defense his lawyers say he is simply not impeachable because he is not a sitting president that the impeachment mechanism of the u.s. constitution only applies to presidents who are in office and is applied in order to remove them if they commit a crime donald trump is not in office furthermore they maintain he is not guilty of inciting insurrection under the 14th amendment of the us constitution because that amendment was set to apply to us members of the confederacy who took up arms and the 14th amendment was passed after the us civil war it doesn't apply to rowdy demonstrations now there was some rather intense moments in the chamber we saw at 1 point one of trump's representative attorneys are holding up the u.s. constitution and urging members of congress to follow that rather than holding up mount st thomas red book and saying that this is the example of a of a system where people do not have due process and do not follow constitutional proceedings so basically the charges again

donald trump. wolf, i mean even inside trump world there are people who know this president's character, know who he is. and to have a longtime trump adviser say something like that, i think, you know, establishes that even inside his own circle of advisers, allies and associates, there are some major questions about this man's character, wolf. >> there certainly it is. . he also in the statement he once again said this is another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country. kaitlan, i understand you are hearing that despite the acquittal, the former president is still very much worried about his legal future. >> he is, wolf. and privately he has expressed concern that ebbed be charged related to the january 6th rally. that's what -- or riot i should say. that's what he told multiple people. that's in part why he has been so quiet every since he left the white house. we hardly heard from the president only in written statements. he does not have access to his twitter account. and

the case of donald trump second impeachment trial, is open and shut . president trump told lie, a big life. but the election was stolen and that he was the rightful winner. he laid the groundwork for the big light in the months before the election. he told the big light on election night . and he repeated the big lien more than 100 times in the weeks afterwards. he some of his supporters in washington and put them into a frenzy and directed them at the capitol. and then he watched as the violence unfolded in the capitoe was breached buried in his own vice president click for hisnd life. then president trump did nothing. none of these facts were up for debate. we sought, we heard it, we lived it. this was the first presidential impeachment trial in history in which all senators were not only judges and jurors, but witnesses to the constitutional crime that was committed. the former president inspired it direction to propel the bob and prevent the peaceful transfer of power. and illegally kept that president and power. there is nothing, nothing more un-am

but donald trump had other plans. on december 19, president trump tweeted his "save the date" for january 6. he told his supporters to come to d.c. for a big protest the day, bilge it as wild. just days later, women for america first amended their permit to hold their rally on january 6. pursuant to the president's save the date, instead o t gu this was deliberate. reports confirm that the president himself, president trump, became directly involved with the planning of the event, including the speaking lineup, even the music to be played, st ahoheusc ftw t caran driving the biden-harris bus off the road with that fight song. and he brought the same people who spoke at the second million maga rally to help as well. trump's campaign advisl recall said on december 12 that this is only the beginning, "we are the cavalry," also became directly involved in planning the event. they even sent out invitations together. this is amy kremer, one of the founders of women for america first, tweeting the invitation, tagging donald

donald trump for a deposition. i think we know that donald trump is going to fight every single subpoena that the plaintiff makes in this case or any other lawsuits against him. and these are, of course, routine matters that in normal litigation people don't fight because they know they can't win. but donald trump's game has always been to delay as long as possible. if he can spend a year fighting a subpoena, he'll do that and then he'll spend another year fighting your next subpoena. >> totally. i mean, he is so scared of testifying under oath, he'll do anything possible. but he's not president anymore, lawrence, so a lot of those tools that he had available to him to fight in the courts and say, you know, i'm president, you can't subpoena this or that, they're not going to work here. here all that the plaintiff, the people bringing the suit need to prove is that there is a material issue of genuine fact. i think just the senate trial alone last week and the fact that an overwhelming majority of senators, includin

because they followed donald trump. remove donald trump from the scene. again, what is done in court. remove donald trump from the cast of characters and ask yourself would this have happened. >> it's so obvious. >> it is so obvious, no. this only happened because donald trump for six months riled these people up and turned them into a pack of terrorists and cop killers. >> and used his presidential platform to do so. it's obvious and it's heartbreaking. here is some of the new security camera footage that the house impeachment managers revealed yesterday showing just how close lawmakers and their staff came to the pro trump mob that stormed the capitol. >> you know how close you came to the mob. some of you, i understand, could hear them. but most of the public does not know how close these rioters came to you. as you were moving through that hallway, i paced it off. you were just 58 steps away from where the mob was amassing and where police were rushing to stop them. here in this video you see leader schumer walking up a ramp, going up the ramp with hi

now it's not just donald trump who is on trial. it's the senate, if they don't convict. >> let's quickly go back to wolf. >> anderson, thank you very much. john king is with me. they wrapped things up today. they have another eight hours if they need it tomorrow, house impeachment managers. they can go for eight hours. i suspect they won't need eight hours to wrap things up. tomorrow, maybe friday, saturday. they can make their case. i don't think they'll need 16 hours, either. >> it's going to be fascinating to see the tactic the trump legal team takes. we have to see the final day house presentation. after today which was a damming, devastating build that connected all of the dots, the months of working before the big lie for two months, the weeks of the president ginning up the crowd and importance of the january 6th rally, he was president then. i thought prosecutors did a fantastic job of noting the context and content, the all caps, urgency of donald trump's tweets of things he wants done for him and relative silence througho

that's case and they got a guy in florida donald trump resorts where he's based and a i believe donald trump's been playing golf today. yeah i mean that's the only definitive thing we know the former president has done there has been some reporting that during the 1st 2 days of his 2nd in pete when charlie was glued to the television and was reportedly deeply unhappy with his lawyers performance there is other speculation that piece navarro is former economics advisor had called him and told him to fire his legal team rehire another legal team and focus on the fact of the democrats calling the big lie what we now know is a big lie that the election was rigged so this is an uncharacteristically quiet president donald trump former president on top i should say but of course he has been muzzled from social media remember during his 1st impeachment trial he tweeted out 140 times in just one day now some of the reasoning that he was playing golf today is that perhaps some of his advisors told him look show strength show nonchalance just get out there and do what you would normally do but th

his relationship with donald trump when he made donald trump a star. trump felt betrayed because he made nbc all this money with the show. >> i don't think jeff would think he would be so intertwined with donald trump who was his big star at nbc, with the a(tigs. -- apprentice. you have to think was it business or personal with how the network ended up going over the last four years. the relationship between them was fractured once that happened. it was very good before. now you saw what we got. there's personal elements to that as well. howie: let me just get you in on this new people magazine cover story on the bidens if we can put that up, glowing story, the president and his right. a reporter asked some policy questions, also asked is the white house starting to feel like home and could you do this job without her, jill biden. your take on that? >> yes. we should clarify, it's dr. jill biden, of course. it was like joe biden interview mad libs. you got the backbone with the ram rod and all the stuff you normally get, it told us nothing. look, it's

donald trump has not yet conceded. donald trump and his allies in the senate have not yet said there was no fraud, joe biden won in the most secure election in america's history. how do you get them to do that if we really have a threat of domestic terrorism from people who believe the big lie? >> well, i mean, i think what senator mcconnell did today on the floor i think was helpful in that regard. i wish he'd have voted to convict but what the heck, his statement was strong on the floor this afternoon. i think all republicans need to say that for what it is and they need to verbalize it on shows like this and on fox news and other shows. quite honestly, that's how you doo bunk that kind of stuff. if the lie goes unchallenged, which happened for months and months and months, then you end up with the situation that happened on january 6th and nobody wants that. i think it's important that republicans stand up when they hear a lie and call it up for what it is. and it went on for months and months. it want just an event

for 10 now to donald trump's impeachment trial in the u.s. senate is the president distinguished senators. you just heard from my colleagues about the harrowing events that happened here at the capitol on january 6th and saw that very disturbing video and now like to turn your attention to what was happening on the other end of pennsylvania avenue at the white house. and the truth is the facts are that on january 6th donald trump did not once condemned this attack he did not once condemn the attackers in fact on january 6th the only person he condemned this is on vice president mike pence who was hiding in this building with his family in fear for his life. in the 1st crucial hours of this violent attack he did nothing to stop it nothing to help us by all accounts from the people that were around him he was delighted. and here is the last thing donald trump said that day and you might remember the.

senate crossing the aisle and voting to convict donald trump for donald trump to be convicted in this trial and that is quite unlikely the last impeachment proceeding against donald trump saw only one republican mitt romney cross the aisle and vote to convict trump now it's important to know that donald trump is kind of going down in history at this moment he is at this point the only u.s. president to have ever been impeached twice and furthermore he is the only u.s. president to have been impeached after he finished serving his term when he was no longer in office so donald trump appears to be you know breaking quite a few records throughout his entire presidency he was under investigation there were constant allegations against him by democrats and by critics etc however many are looking on at what's happening here and wondering if this is really going to help heal the country democrats seem to be talking about the need to reunify the country but when we spoke to people around the country about this 2nd impeachment of donald trump after he's already left office we got quite an inte

if there's anyone that loves donald trump more than donald trump, it is the mainstream media. they'll be the ones looking to look backwards, they're going to have a hard time letting go of donald trump. .we need to silence donald trum, but we can't stop talking about donald trump because he's a real ratings boom to whatever network talks about him. >> i don't think we should silence him. i don't think we should silence him, will. i don't think we should silence him. i'll take your bet. let's do a bet. five bucks to be fair, five bucks you owe me if he mentions the election was stolen once which would be looking forward. >> i'm not making that bet. >> because you know i would win. >> i didn't make a prediction. howie: you can take this outside. i do agree he with will's point that the media love the fact that he called in because now they get to do these trump secretaries which are good for ratings. susan, i reported this week based on sources that because of the twitter ban, donald trump has told people he's relieved he doesn't have to tweet on everything every hour and his ad
