>> WELCOME BACK TO CHEDDAR
BUSINESS. THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
RULES ARE SET AS PROPOSED BY
REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP. IT GIVES
BOTH DEMOCRATIC HOUSE WRAPS AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM 24
HOURS TO MAKE
THEIR CASE THAT STARTS THIS
AFTERNOON, BEN SENATORS WILL
HAVE 16 HOURS TO SUBMIT
QUESTIONS THAT WILL MOST LIKELY
HAPPEN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
JOINING US NOW TO HELP BREAK
THIS ALL DOWN IS JULIA
MANCHESTER REPORTER FROM THE
HELD JULIE, IT'S GREAT TO SEE
DEMOCRATS WERE DENIED THE
ABILITY TO SUBPOENA DOCUMENTS
OR WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS HOW
DOES THAT AFFECT THEIR CASE.
>> IF THAT'S THE CASE A MAJOR
WAY I THINK DEMOCRATS WERE
REALLY BANKING ON GETTING MORE
AT IT'S REALLY PRESENT TO
THE CHAMBER, THEY DO HAVE A
SMALL VICTORY YESTERDAY WHEN
THEY GOT 3 DAYS AND SENT 2 DAYS
IN THE COURSE 24 HOURS TO
PRESENT THEIR CASE BUT
ESSENTIALLY DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN
REALLY PUSHING FOR AS MUCH
TRANSPARENCY ASKED
POSSIBLE TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT
THEIR CASE NOT ONLY TO THE
CHAMBER BUT ACTUALLY AMERICAN
PEOPLE AND I THINK THERE WAS
THIS THINKING THAT GETTING
WITNESSES SUCH AS CHIEF OF
STAFF. WELL A YEAR FROM FORMER
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER JOHN
BOLTON THAT FORMER ROBIN THEIR
CASE AND PRESENT
MORE ABOUT CLEAR PICTURE OF
WHAT WAS HAPPENING. BUT CLEARLY
REPUBLICANS DON'T TOPPLES AND
SOMEONE WHO HAD A VERY
CONTENTIOUS EXIT FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE TO BE TESTIFYING SO THAT
PLAYS INTO THIS AS
WELL I THINK ALSO THERE IS A
NEED ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF
THINGS TO CAUCUS KYLE SHORT
REMEMBER, MITCH MCCONNELL
OFFICER WRAPPED UP AND THE
WORRY FOR WHEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP ADDRESSES THE
NATION AND CONGRESS IN THIS
YEAR'S STATE OF THE UNION
ADDRESS AND SIR WE NOT BE
THE BEST TEXT FOR TRUMP TO HAVE
THIS HAPPENING WHILE IT'S GOING
TO IMPEACHMENT TRIAL AND
THE SITE.
>> I'M JULIET PRESS IS NOT
ALLOWED IN THE TRIAL ROOM THE
HOW IS THAT IMPACTING PUBLIC
PERCEPTION OF THE CASE.
>> YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S HE
MAKES A HARDER I THINK FOR SOME
PRESSER REALLY TELL THE STORY
AND
REALLY CARE AND GET IN A FIELD
OF MUTED THE REMAINING REALLY
ONLY CAN YOU CAN ONLY SEE WHAT
KEEP WORKING.
>> CAMERAS ARE LOUSY DON'T GET
CAN WE CLEAR PICTURE BUT I
THINK THIS IS DEFINITELY COULD
BE PLAYING IN REPUBLICANS FAVOR
BY NOT BEING YOU KNOW THE MOST
CLEAR PICTURE
WHAT'S HOT HAPPENING IN TERMS
OF WHAT DEMOCRATS ARE REALLY
TRYING TO PUSH THROUGH I THINK
THIS IS A VERY TACTICAL FULL
AND YOU KNOW IN ORDER TO ME
THAT THE REPUBLICANS IN THE
MEDIA COULD BENEFIT JOHN
THE CRAFT AS WELL, BUT YOU
CERTAINLY DON'T GET A CLEAR
PICTURE OF US
WILL GET.
>> THE REPUBLICANS AND SUCCESS
AND LIMITING THAT ARE WITNESSES
TO BE CALLED GIVING THE
DEMOCRATS MADE A MISCALCULATION
HERE YOU CAN BE MADE A MISTAKE
GOING THROUGH WITH IMPEACHMENT.
>> YOU KNOW I DON'T THINK ANY
DEMOCRAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY
SAYING I DO
THINK DEMOCRATS DID I
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD FACE
AN AREA.
>> A POLL OUT ON THE SENATE THE
FACT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
REPUBLICAN
CONTROLLED CHAMBER PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAS QUITE A BIT OF
INFLUENCE OVER THIS PARTY AND
MITCH MCCONNELL IS A VERY
SKILLED TACTICIAN YOU KNOW WE
TALK ABOUT HOUSE BILL ANTI
PELOSI IS POLITICALLY WELL,
MITCH MCCONNELL IS DEFINITE
POLICE KILLED IN THAT SAME SORT
OF WAY SO YES COULD HAVE BEEN A
BIT OF A TACTICAL TACTICAL
AARON BECAUSE WE KNOW
THAT DEMOCRATS WE'RE REALLY
BANKING ON GETTING THOSE
WITNESSES SOMEONE LIKE JOHN
BOLTON, YOU ARE HAS A PROBLEM
THE ADMINISTRATION'S COULD HAVE
SAID A LOT OF LIGHT US WHAT
HAPPENED
AT ALL IN CREATING A MORE
MINISTRATIONS DEALINGS HOWEVER,
THIS IS A BIT OF A BLOW TO IN
TERMS OF YOU KNOW WHERE THEY GO
FROM HERE.
>> THE MOST COMPELLING ARGUMENT
SIDE GIULIA THAT YOU'VE HEARD
US SO FAR FROM THE HOUSE
MANAGERS AND TRUMP'S TEAM.
>> WELL I THINK YESTERDAY THERE
WAS DEFINITELY A INTERESTING
EXCHANGE
BETWEEN JARED AND POSSIBLE
LONEY AND JERRY NADLER'S
ESSENTIALLY
YOU KNOW THE IMPEACHMENT
DEFENSE, THE MOST LYING AND I
THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY A LOT
OF.
THE DEMOCRATS REALLY CALLING
OUT THE OTHER SIDE ON THIS FOR
NOT PRESENTING ENOUGH
EVIDENCE NOT FOR NOT BEING
FORTHCOMING ENOUGH IN THIS
ENTIRE TRIAL. I THOUGHT WAS
FASCINATING HOW JOHN ROBERTS
YESTERDAY ESSENTIALLY HAD TO
BRING THE CHAMBER TO
ORDER THAT THIS IS SO HEATED.
SO IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE HOW
THIS HAS REALLY I THINK PLAYED
OUT IN SUCH A PA, IT IS A MAN
OR A LOT OF AMERICANS ARE
LOOKING AT THIS FOR A VERY
PARTISAN MONTHS FREE.
>> WELL JULIA LAST WEEK, THE
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
OFFICE HUD GOV AN AGENCY RULED
THAT THE WHITE HOUSE THE BROKE
THE LAW BY WITHHOLDING AID TO
UKRAINE WHY DO YOU THINK THAT
HASN'T HAD ANY DISCERNIBLE
EFFECT OR IMPACT ON.
>> YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY IT'S
HARD TO SAY I THINK YOU KNOW
IT'S THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE
OVERSHADOWED BY THE ACTUAL
PROCEEDINGS HAVE HAPPENING.
THAT'S REALLY BROUGHT THIS UP
AND TRIED TO S E BRING BACK
HOME I FOR THE PUBLIC TO
ANDERSON AND BUT YOU REALLY
HAVEN'T SEEN
TOO MUCH COVERAGE OF IT IN THE
FIRST PLACE AND IT'S REALLY
BEEN OVERSHADOWED BY THE WHOLE
IMPEACHMENT PICTURE.
>> AS SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS,
THE ONLY REPUBLICAN TO BREAK
RANKS, JULIA JOINING DEMOCRATS
ON AN AMENDMENT TO LENGTHEN
RESPONSE TO I'M A TO MOTIONS
MIGHT
WE SEE YET MORE REPUBLICANS
REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM PARTY
LINES.
>> YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S HARD
TO SAY SUSAN COLLINS IS A
FIGURE NOT USUALLY SURPRISES US
SHE SOMETIMES BREAKS RANKS OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO SIDE
WITH DEMOCRATS WE
KNOW THAT THROUGHOUT THIS
TRIAL. SHE'S BEEN WALKING A
VERY FINE LINE REMEMBER THIS
HAPPENS REALLY IN THE SHADOW OF
A MAJOR VERY CONTENTIOUS
REELECTION THAT
SHE HAS GOING ON I MEAN SO I
THINK SHE'S TRYING TO MAKE
HERSELF LOOK AS NONPARTISAN AND
MODDER HAS POSSIBLE AND IN
DOING THAT IS TRYING TO REALLY
PUSH FOR THIS TRANSPARENCY TO
GET AN OPPORTUNITY HERE
BOTH SIDES IT'S HARD TO TELL
HERE OTHER REPUBLICANS REALLY
NEED THAT WAY IF HE WERE TO GET
OUT HERE OTHER REPUBLICANS
VOICED
AND BOATS ARE CONCERNED AND
SUCH I THINK YOU HEAR THAT FROM
REPUBLICANS LIKE ME LISA
