  • >> Molly: SENATE MAJORITY

  • LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL

  • PROMISING SOELGTS COORDINATION

  • WITH THE WHITE HOUSE ON

  • IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS.

  • LISA MURCOWSKI SAID SHE IS

  • DISTURBED BY THAT STRATEGY.

  • NOW I'M JOINED BY THE AUTHOR,

  • THE REAL STORY OF TRUMP'S

  • PRESIDENCY.

  • THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.

  • I KNOW YOU ARE AN HISTORIAN.

  • WE'LL LOOK AHEAD A LITTLE BIT

  • HERE AS WE'RE WAITING THE SEE

  • WHEN THE TRIAL WOULD HAPPEN,

  • JANUARY, FEBRUARY?

  • THAT CAN MEAN A LOT FOR 2020.

  • WE SHALL SEE.

  • STICKING TO SENATOR MURCOWSKI

  • TO KICK THINGS OFF.

  • WHAT SHE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT

  • IN THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE

  • AFFECTING OF THE PROCESS.

  • SHE IS CONCERNED THIS WILL

  • FURTHER CONFUSE THE PROCESS.

  • YOUR THOUGHTS ON HER OPINION,

  • POTENTIALLY AFFECTING THE

  • PROCESS REPUBLICANS WOULD LIKE

  • TO SEE.

  • COULD SHE THROW A WRENCH IN

  • MCCONNELL'S PLAN FOR A QUICK

  • TRIAL?

  • >> WELL, I THINK THIS IS

  • SENATOR MURCOWSKI SIGNALING WHO

  • SHE IS.

  • SHE IS AN ESTABLISHMENT

  • REPUBLICAN.

  • DON'T FORGET US.

  • THE POWERFUL LOBBIES HAVE TO

  • MAKE SURE SHE IS STILL THERE IN

  • PLACE AND SHE IS.

  • BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS GOING

  • ANYWHERE.

  • IT IS CERTAINLY NOT OUTRAGEOUS

  • FOR SENATOR MCCONNELL TO PRESS

  • THIS AS A REPUBLICAN BECAUSE

  • THE IMPEACHMENT WAS 100% --

  • 100% DEMOCRATIC.

  • THEY DIDN'T TAKE A BREATH.

  • TWO YEARS OF RUSSIAN COLLUSION,

  • TWO MONTHS OF BRIBERY, NEVER

  • TOOK A BREATH AND SAID WE WERE

  • WRONG ABOUT THAT, TOO.

  • THEY GO RIGHT INTO THIS

  • IMPEACHMENT ON OBSTRUCTION OF

  • CONGRESS WHICH SHOULD BE PRETTY

  • EASY TO PROVE.

  • WHAT ARE THE REPUBLICANS GOING

  • TO DO?

  • IF THEY DIDN'T UNITE BEHIND THE

  • PRESIDENT THERE WOULD BE A LOT

  • OF REPUBLICANS ANGRY.

  • >> Molly: HE SAID HE PREDICTS

  • THE PARTISAN OUTCOME.

  • YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

  • SENATOR MU KOWSKI, NOT AFRAID

  • TO BUCK THE SISTER.

  • SHE VOTED AGAINST THE KAVANAUGH

  • NOMINATION.

  • AMONG A SMALL GROUP OF SENATORS

  • THAT PREVENTED THE REPEAL OF

  • OBAMACARE.

  • THE WRANGLING THAT WILL GO ON

  • BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND

  • REPUBLICANS IS ABOUT THE RULES.

  • AND DEMOCRATS WANT TO SEE

  • WITNESSES.

  • THEY WANT TO SEE DOCUMENTS.

  • MCCONNELL WANTS TO GET IT OVER

  • WITH QUICKLY.

  • SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM HAS

  • CALLED IT A DEAD CAT.

  • SO COULD SHE OR OTHER ALLIES,

  • SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS, MITT

  • ROMNEY, COULD THEY THROW A

  • WRENCH IN THINGS AS FAR AS THE

  • LENGTH OF THIS TRIAL?

  • WITNESSES, DOCUMENTS?

  • >> MOLLY, YOU ARE ON TO

  • SOMETHING THERE.

  • IT COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN.

  • WHAT WE DON'T KNOW IS WHETHER

  • THAT WOULD BE TO THEIR

  • ADVANTAGE OR NOT.

  • IN FACT, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE

  • WHO ARGUE IT WOULD BE TO THEIR

  • DISADVANTAGE.

  • THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO LINGER

  • OR DON'T WANT TO HAVE JOE BIDEN

  • FORCED TO COME AND TESTIFY AND

  • HUNTER BIDEN.

  • THEY DON'T WANT IT TO GO ON.

  • IT COULD BACKFIRE.

  • SO FAR NOT WORKING THE WAY THE

  • DEMOCRATS WANT.

  • THE NUMBERS SHOW THAT.

  • AS FAR AS RUSSIAN COLLUSION I

  • HAVE TO TELL YOU IN MY BOOK

  • THERE IS A GREAT STORY IN THERE.

  • THE TRUMP KIDS ARE TRAVELING

  • ALL OVER THE WORLD, HEADS OF

  • STATE ARE PULLING THEM ASIDE IN

  • 2017 AND THEY'RE SAYING PLEASE

  • TELL YOUR FATHER HOW SORRY WE

  • ARE ABOUT THIS RUSSIAN

  • COLLUSION NONSENSE.

  • SO THERE YOU GO.

  • IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF

  • CHINA OR PRESIDENT OF FRANCE,

  • YOU CAN'T WAIT TWO YEARS FOR

  • THE MUELLER REPORT.

  • YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SECRET

  • SERVICE.

  • 120 INTELLIGENCE SERVICES IN

  • THE WORLD.

  • EVERYONE OF THEM CHECKED IT OUT.

  • THEY KNEW WITHIN 24 HOURS IT

  • WAS A BOGUS STORY.

  • THE FUTURE OF THEIR COUNTRY

  • DEPENDED ON KNOWING THAT.

  • THIS IS KIND OF LINGERED ON A

  • LITTLE TOO LONG.

  • >> Molly: THE PRESIDENT HAS

  • RAISED SOME OF THOSE POINTS

  • TALKING ABOUT UNFAIRNESS OVER

  • THE COURSE OF ALL OF THIS.

  • AS WE LOOK TOWARD THESE

  • ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT BEING

  • HELD HERE WE'RE SEEING THEM IN

  • JANUARY OR LEAK INTO FEBRUARY?

  • IF YOU COULD LOOK AT A SENATE

  • TRIAL GOING ON.

  • THE DEMOCRATS ARE BATTLING IT

  • OUT IN IOWA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE.

  • WHAT IS THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE?

  • >> YEAH, AND FOR THE

  • PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

  • RIGHT NOW IF I WERE ADVISING

  • THE DEMOCRATS I WOULD SAY

  • YOU'VE GOT TO GET A CANDIDATE.

  • YOU'VE GOT TO GET SOME TALKING

  • POINTS THAT ARE UNIFORM.

  • YOU CAN'T ONE DAY BE FOR THE

  • CONSTITUTION AND THE NEXT DAY

  • WANT TO GUT THE CONSTITUTION.

  • YOU'VE GOT TO AT LEAST GET A

  • BRAND, GET A SLOGAN, GET

  • SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN UNIFY

  • BEHIND.

  • STAND FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN

  • JUST HATING DONALD TRUMP.

  • HATE WON'T WIN THE ELECTION.

  • SOMETHING ELSE IS NEEDED.

  • >> Molly: WE THANK YOU SO MUCH.

  • FUN TO READ YOUR NEXT BOOK.

>> Molly: SENATE MAJORITY
