TODD: THANKS FOR BEING HERE FRANCEY. MITCH MCCONNELL SAID, QUOTE, HE WOULD WORK IN TOTAL COORDINATION WITH THE HOUSE AND IS NOT IMPARTIAL ABOUT THIS AT ALL. GOP SENATOR LISA MURKOWSKI SAID SHE WAS DISTURBED WHEN SHE HEARD HIS COMMENTS. BYRON YORK ISSUED THE FOLLOWING OP-ED. THE SENATE IS NOT A JURY AND OTHER MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT IMPEACHMENT. DO YOU AGREE WITH BYRON YORK'S ASSESSMENT. >> BYRON IS RIGHT. THIS IS A QUALIFIED LEGAL PROCEEDING. THE BIG NEWS IN HISTORY, DONALD TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED, PEOPLE CALL THAT INDICTMENT, WE TRY TO EQUATE THAT TO THE LEGAL SYSTEM BUT THAT IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT POINT THAT HAPPENED AND IT WILL BE A HISTORIC NOSE ON HIS RECORD. IT IS NOT LIKE AN INDICTMENT WHICH IS GENERALLY HANDED DOWN BY A GRAND JURY IN SECRET. THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROCESS THAT REPRESENTED FULL AND FAIR FUNDAMENTAL DUE PROCESS WE EXPECT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. THIS IS PURELY POLITICAL. MCCONNELL IS COORDINATING WITH THE WHITE HOUSE, IN THE SAME POLITICAL PARTY, NOT A SURPRISE. >> GREGORY WAS ON CNN AND SAID THIS ABOUT LISA MURKOWSKI. TAKE A LISTEN. >> HE IS GOING TO WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THE WHITE HOUSE, ORCHESTRATE THE TRIAL WITH WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE WANTS, TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE. >> DURING THE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY REPUBLICANS WERE COMPLAINING THE REPUBLICANS WEREN'T THERE AND IT WILL MOVE TO THE SENATE AND MITCH MCCONNELL WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH THE WHITE HOUSE SO THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A POINT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING, UNFAIR PROCESS? >> I DON'T THINK SO AND I WONDER WHERE SENATOR MURKOWSKI WAS WHEN ADAM SCHIPPERS CONDUCTING PROCEEDINGS IN SECRET AND WHERE ARE HER CALLS FOR HIM TO RELEASE THE FINAL TRANSCRIPT OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WHICH REPORTEDLY CONTAINS THINGS FAVORABLE TO THE PRESIDENT AND UNFAVORABLE TO THE SO-CALLED WHISTLEBLOWER. DEMOCRATS ARE CRYING FOUL WHEN THEIR OWN PROCESS IS SHOCKINGLY BEREFT OF DUE PROCESS, THE PRESIDENT HAD NO PRESENCE IN INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HEARINGS, NO REPRESENTATION BY A LAWYER. THERE WAS ALMOST NO CROSS-EXAMINATION, REPUBLICANS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL THE WITNESSES THEY THOUGHT MIGHT BE RELEVANT TO THE PROCESS SO IT DOES SEEM VERY HYPOCRITICAL AT THIS POINT TO ME FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO BE CRYING ABOUT FAIRNESS. >> INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT LISA MURKOWSKI SAYS BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES WHEN THERE'S A SLIGHT FEELING THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK WITH THE PARTY IT IS OFTEN SUSAN COLLINS OR LISA MURKOWSKI LEADING THE CHARGE, LET'S SWITCH GEARS ENTIRELY, PETE BUTTIGIEG RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT SAYING THERE SHOULD BE NO JAIL TIME FOR DRUG POSSESSION INCLUDING METH AND COCAINE AND IMMIGRATION PLAN THAT WOULD DECRIMINALIZE DEPORTATIONS, A LOT OF THINGS THAT WOULD FALL UNDER DEPORTATION. CERTAINLY MODERATE THOUSAND 20 RAISE, PETE BUTTIGIEG AND THE DEMS? >> I HOPE NOT. I AM FOR LAW AND ORDER. I'M A FORMER PROSECUTOR. I HAVE SEEN THE RAVAGES OF METH AND COCAINE THEY LEAVE ON COMMUNITIES OF VIOLENCE THAT RISES WHEN PEOPLE BECOME ADDICTED TO THESE SUBSTANCES AND ARE DESPERATE TO GET THEM NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES, BURGLARIES, ASSAULTS, MURDERERS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYONE WHO SAYS DECRIMINALIZING DRUGS WILL LEAD TO A DECREASE IN CRIME. I FEEL LIKE THE OPPOSITE WILL HAPPEN. CARLEY: LET'S LISTEN TO PETE BUTTIGIEG LAYING ON HIS PLAN. >> INCARCERATION SHOULD NOT BE A RESPONSE TO DRUG POSITION. >> METH OR COKE OR ANY DRUGS, INCARCERATION. >> THIS IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE HE'S CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MODERATE CANDIDATES AND YOU LOOK AT SAN FRANCISCO THAT HAVE DECRIMINALIZED APPS POSSESSION AND THINGS LIKE THAT YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY PETE BUTTIGIEG WOULD THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA WHEN WE SEE CITIES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO AND THE HOMELESS CRISIS AND THE DRUG ISSUE TAKING PLACE OVER THERE. >> IF YOU WANT TO EQUATE IT TO CHILD EXPLOITATION OR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY DO WE WANT TO DECRIMINALIZE POSSESSION OF THAT? POSSESSING THESE SUBSTANCES IS NO DIFFERENT THAN POSSESSING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY, YOU ARE CREATING THE DRUG TRADE.
