THE NEXT HEAD OF THE
LEAK COULD.
>> ALL RIGHT SHE HAS STOLEN
LIVE FOR US FROM WASHINGTON DC.
THANK YOU SHAY NAP.
ALL RIGHT WELL PRESIDENT TRUMP,
NOT EXACTLY SENDING CHRISTMAS
CHEER TO HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY
PELOSI CALLING QUOTE CRAZY ON
TWITTER AND ACCUSING DEMOCRATS
OF BEING QUOTE HYPOCRITES
JOINING US NOW IS IN THE CAN
CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT AT
SPECTRUM NEWS. EVEN ADD TO THE
PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS HERE
HOLD WEIGHT.
>> WELL I HE CERTAINLY VIEWS
THIS AS A PLATFORM TO SPEAK
DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
RIGHT HE FEELS AS THOUGH
HE'S ON ATTACK AND A
HISTORICALLY HE SEES TWITTER AS
HIS BEST OUT LIGHT OUTLET TO
COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY WITH
THE PEOPLE. AND SO THIS IS THE
FORUM THAT HE CONTINUES TO USE
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO PAY
ATTENTION TO THE LANGUAGE IN
ADDITION TO THE TWEETS EARLIER
THIS WEEK FROM OUR LAW THOUGH
HE SAID THAT
SPEAKER PELOSI HATED HIM HATED
REPUBLICANS AND THE PEOPLE THAT
ELECTED HIM
AND HE USED THAT WORD HATE YOU
REMEMBER JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.
SPEAKER PELOSI SPECIFICALLY
TOOK ISSUE TO THAT WORD.
WHEN A REPORTER SUGGESTED THAT
THAT EH SHE HATE ANYONE RICE
AND HER CALF BUT FAITH DOESN'T
ALLOW HER TO HATE. SO THIS IS
JUST AN INDICATION THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALSO
PAYING ATTENTION AND THAT THIS
IS OF GROWING DEEPLY PERSON.
>> WELL SPEAKING OF STRONG
LANGUAGE TRUMP ALSO CALLED EMMA
THAT'S VICIOUS AND LIARS THIS
MORNING DOES THAT KIND OF
RHETORIC THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE
DO ANYTHING MAYBE SWAY THE
STRATEGY OR THE FEW POINTS OF
REPUBLICAN SEN.
>> WELL I THINK IT SPEAKS TO
HIS BASE WHO VIEWS HIM AS A
COUNTER PUNCHER HE VIEWS
HIMSELF AS A COUNTERPART
PUNCTURE AND IT'S PROBABLY
EFFECTIVE
WITH THEM AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
EFFECTIVE IT IS WITH DEMOCRATS
ACCORDING TO DATA FROM 5.38 TO
80% OF DEMOCRATS WANT TO SEE
THE PRESIDENT REMOVED.
SO I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S NOT A
CHANGING
PEOPLE WHO WE'RE ON THE FENCE
OR WHO HAVE ALREADY DECIDED BUT
THAT ITS AFFECT EVOLVE WITH THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY IN
TRUMP'S CAMP.
>> WE WERE SHOWING A
CLIP THAT EARLIER OF LISA
MURKOWSKI FROM ALASKA
RIGHT KOSKI SUSAN COLLINS FROM
MAINE AT TIMES HAVE GONE
AGAINST THE GRAIN ON AND VOTED
MORE BASED ON
THE FACTS PER SE OR SPOKEN OUT
THAT WAY IS THIS AS STAR.
PERHAPS IT
THE REPUBLICANS DECIDING TO
DEFECT FROM MITCH MCCONNELL'S
LEADERSHIP AND ACTUALLY VOTE
BASED ON THE FACTS VERSUS
PARTY LINES.
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW I THINK
THIS IS MAYBE SOME FALSE HOPE
FOR DEMOCRAT THAT'S A SENATOR
MURKOWSKI SPEAKING TO ALASKA
REPORTER GOING BACK
HOME IS.
>> MANY OF US SENATORS ARE
USING THIS TIME TO MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS USING THIS HOLIDAY
GONNA SPEAK DIRECTLY TO
THEIR CONSTITUENTS TO TO TAKE
THE TEMPERATURE IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES AND AND SHE SAID
SHE DIDN'T LIKE THE THE
RHETORIC COMING FROM
CONNELL A WHEN I ASKED HIM
ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK HE TOLD US
THAT THAT HE WAS NOT IMPARTIAL
JUROR.
AND HAS
ALSO COMMUNICATED THAT HE'S
WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE WHITE
HOUSE SHE'S UNCOMFORTABLE WITH
THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE OF
COURSE, THE SENATE HAS 2
MEMBERS OF THE SENATE HAVE TO
TAKE AN OATH TO IMPARTIAL SO
THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS
MAY BE EVEN MORE
CARRIES MORE WEIGHT THAT THEM
THE HOUSE RIGHT THEY ARE
JURORS.
I DON'T KNOW IF A ACCOUNTS
THESE POSITION IS AN INDICATION
OF WHAT'S TO COME FROM OR
REPUBLICANS OTHER REPUBLICANS
THAT WILL BE WATCHING IS OUT
CORY GARDNER IN COLORADO AS
WELL AS SUSAN COLLINS AS YOU
MENTIONED IN MAINE
JOE MANSION,
A AS A I WILL OFTEN VOTE WITH
THE PRESIDENT SEEMS TO HAVE A
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM
HE MIGHT BE A WILD CARD AS WELL
THE JONES IN ALABAMA, SO THERE
COULD BE
SOME DEFECTIONS. AMONG THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY, ALTHOUGH THAT
WOULD BE A A VERY SURPRISING
THERE ALSO COULD BE SOME
DEFECTIONS AMONG THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
SENATOR JONES IN ALABAMA IN A
TOUGH
RACE, THERE. SO OUT SO YET TO
BE DETERMINED, BUT I DON'T KNOW
IF DEMOCRATS SHOULD TAKE TOO
MUCH STOCK IN WHAT THEY'RE FROM
SENATOR MURKOWSKI KIND
OF TRIAL PROCEEDINGS WILL BE
MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO
REPUBLICANS VERSUS DEMOCRATS
WERE THERE TO WITNESS IS
CONCISE
PROCEEDINGS WHAT.
>> WHAT DOES EACH SIDE ACTUALLY
WANT. WELL LEADER MCCONNELL
WHEELIE SCENES BENEFIT IN
MOVING THIS UP FORWARD AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE OUT WITH
LISA DAMAGE TO THE PRESIDENT
HE'S ACTUALLY RUN ON THIS HE
HAD
A FACEBOOK ADD SEVERAL WEEKS
AGO SAYING IF YOU ELECT ME TO
THE SENATE SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO
KENTUCKY AND I
WILL BE THE PERSON BEST
POSITIONED TO PROTECT THE
PRESIDENT SO HE VIEWS A SPEEDY
TRIAL AS BEST FOR THE PRESIDENT
THERE'S
A SON INDICATION THAT HE'S
CONVINCED THE PRESIDENT OF THAT
STRATEGY THAT THE PRESIDENT THE
FIRST WANTED TO HEAR FROM THE
WHISTLEBLOWER
DIRECTLY N AND THE BIDENS OUT
TO
YOU THE ACQUITTAL ASSESS
SOMETHING THAT THAT HE CAN THE
PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN RUN ON BUT
LEADER MCCONNELL OTHER.
REPUBLICANS OF YOU MOVING
THROUGH THIS AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE AS HAS THE BEST
STRATEGY, THE DEMOCRATS REALLY
PUSHING TO HEAR FROM THESE
KEY WITNESSES SURROUNDING THE
PRESIDENT A MINORITY LEADER
SCHUMER US THANKS IN MAKING
THIS PUSH FOR
ADDITIONAL WITH THIS IS IS NOT
SO MUCH LEANING ON SENATOR
MCCONNELL WHO RELISHES HE'S
POSITION AS SORT
OF A VILLAGE RIGHT SO LEADER
SCHUMER CALLING FOR THESE
WITNESSES VERY PUBLICLY IS NOT
GOING TO DO MUCH TO MOVE.
LEADER MCCONNELL BUT IT MIGHT
SWAY THE PUBLIC WHICH COULD
MAYBE PUT PRESSURE ON ON
THE PROCESS.
>> AS SO I DO BELIEVE YOU
FOLLOW THE STATE OF KENTUCKY
RIGHT THE DELEGATES THAT PRETTY
CLOSELY I DO IN TERMS
OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN IT AND THE
PUBLIC SUPPORTS SWAY ON
IMPEACHMENT THE LEAD,
IT'S WHERE WE STAND NOW DO YOU
THINK THAT THAT IS FIRING UP
TRUMP'S BASE IN KENTUCKY OR
THAT PEOPLE DO ACCOUNTABLE AND
SEE THIS IMPEACHMENT PROCESS
GO THROUGH.
>> WELL THE MEMBERS I COVER SO
THERE ARE 8 MEMBERS OF THE
KENTUCKY DELEGATION
TO SENATORS. MCCONNELL AND RAND
PAUL AS WELL AS 6 HOUSE MEMBERS
ONLY ONE DEMOCRAT IN THAT
DELEGATION REPRESENTS
LOUISVILLE AND THERE'S BEEN NO
CHANGE AMONG FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING A YOU KNOW I WAS
REALLY INTERESTED TO KNOW A
FROM A.
CONGRESSMAN WHO REPRESENTS
WESTERN KENTUCKY. IF IF THEY
SEE IF THEY
I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IF THE
PRESIDENT WAS MORE CONTRITE
DURING ALL THIS RIGHT HE'S
MAINTAINED IT WAS A PERFECT
PHONE ALL IN ALL THE
SURROUNDING EVENTS THAT LED TO
HIS IMPEACHMENT WERE.
WE'RE AN IMPEACHABLE HER
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT THE GOT
THE CHECK AND HE HE TOLD ME
LISTEN MY MY MY SUPPORTERS IN
KENTUCKY, THEY LIKE THE WAY
THAT THE PRESIDENT
HAS RESPONDED. THEY LIKE THAT
HE HASN'T BEEN CONTRITE OR
APOLOGETIC AND SO IT SEEMS TO
BE A THERE SEEMS TO BE NO
CHANGE IN PLACES LIKE KENTUCKY.
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S
INDICATIVE OF THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY AND
WHERE THERE ARE MORE SWING
VOTERS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE
COUNTRY THERE'S PROBABLY I'M
