you've heard a number of republicans whether it's congressman john ratcliff, doug collins or jim jordan of ohio, those three have been probably the president's most vocal defenders in the house proceedings and you're seeing them trying to really try to defend president trump ahead of the senate trial. you're also seeing president trump really much put all of his eggs in one basket ahead this have senate trial, very much, you know -- there is this feeling among republicans and administration officials that this is going to go smoothly for the president and that the president will easily be acquitted in that trial and that this will politically work well for the president. president trump even said last week that, you know, he hopes this is dragged out and that more witnesses will be called. so we'll really have to wait and see, but republicans very much gearing up for this in the hopes that it's politically feasible for them. >> julia, give us more on the candidates likely to represent each side. let's start with the president. who does he want to defend him? >> i think the president obv

we also have congressman jim jordan. congressman mark meadows, and representative john ratcliffe. it's an honor to be with everyone tonight. bologna --the land, melania and i would like to wish christmas.very merry we will now light the tree. we will count down from five. five, four, three, two, one! applause]d ♪ aand playing "we wish you ♪]ry christmas" pres. trump: let us show our incredible -- our appreciation to the incredible workers at the department of the interior. thank you very much. thank you as well to the u.s. marine corps band. the boys choir. the chorus is fantastic and thank you, tucson, arizona. i also want to thank a special group of young people, west tennessee youth chorus. they're here and doing beautifully. in 1923, president calvin coolidge lit the first national christmas tree. they held an outdoor service on these grounds. during this service, it was illuminated. more than 2000 years ago, a brilliant star shone in the east. the wise men traveled far afield. they cam and stud with us under they found the holy family in bethlehem. when the wise men had c

radcliffe, jim jordan and doug collins who really led some of the vociferous opposition that came from republicans during the impeachment. >> yes, they did. >> that was the diplomatic way of saying it. the president wanted a circus. they delivered for him on that. do you think as the speaker considers managers that has an impact on who she chooses to represent democrats? >> i think she's going to pick the strongest, the strongest managers that will deliver the message, conduct a trial and i would hope that the whole country does not want to have a circus. the senate can be more sometimes too rigid and whatever but i don't think the senate's going to want a circus and i think senator mcconnell and what i do know of him is that he is not going to want a circus in the united states senate. i think that the managers that i have a great deal of respect for the minority leader and try to cause chaos but we have to stop causing chaos in everything that we do. our democracy is threatened by this daily confrontation, chaos, spreading fear and hatred and i hope we all find a way that as we go in

jim jordan, john ratcliffe, mike johnson and mark meadows. everyone except meadows met with the white house counsel this week. what do you make of those picks? >> standards. as you would expect. these were people that were sort of stars or performed or good at making the case for the president when it was this the house. one interesting thing plessy did is she drew a line in the sand. she said i am not sending this over until i believe it is fair. so by definition, whenever she sends it over, she is saying it is fair. if she sent it over tomorrow, apparently she undercut chuck schumer's whole case because she is saying it is fair that it went there. she has to extract something from mitch in order for it to be fair in her opinion. i don't think mcconnell is perfectly fine to approve judges in the meantime. >> like, this isn't -- the things he has done are unethical. like what he did with merrick garland. and the idea he would refuse to even try to have a fair process and that's something we shaw laud, i disagree with that. i think in the end

. >> according to the gospels, jesus seeks out john the baptist on the banks of the river jordan. >> jesus' baptism by john the baptist really galvanized him. that got him thinking, "i must act now and convert people now." >> he begins performing miracles, casting out demons. >> according to the gospels, there are large crowds that are drawn to jesus throughout his ministry. jesus' healing miracles would have drawn a lot of attention. >> but while jesus embarks on his mission, his family remained in nazareth. >> jesus leaves james and the other brothers and sisters in charge of the family -- >> hey, enough. >> and that is what's uncomfortable about this story. the village itself was a small village, so tongues would wag about this whole deal of jesus going off and doing some kind of ministry and leaving his family to take care of business. >> there would have been a local of social marginalization that they would have experienced because they had this slightly crazy, embarrassing brother, and we can imagine that would have created friction between jesus and his family. >> but as the

jim jordan, john radcliffe, withe blew holes in it because it's so easy. we have the facts on our side. all they have is hatred of president trump. all they had is not liking a man who came to office to do what he said he was going to do and he's doing. if you have facts and truth on your side, it will win every time. >> sean: you're probably glad that congressman collins didn't get the promotion to the upper chamber. >> i'm glad he's where he's at as well. >> four facts never change, jim jordan. not only that, five meetings after the four facts. i don't think anybody could do it as well as you do it. explain? >> you're kind. but i loved your monologue because the disdain that these people that they brought in today -- these professors have for us regular americans who voted for president trump, never forget, sean, 17 days ago, the speaker of the house on a sunday show called the president of the united states an imposter. the guy who had 63 million people vote for him, the guy who won by landslide, the speaker of the house calling the president of the uni

and we know that a number of republicans, whether it is doug collins, jim jordan, john radcliff, they have been very voke until defending the president and trying to curry favor towards the president and defending him publicly. so i believe you will see doug collins do that today. tomorrow, you're going to see this potentially taken to the house floor for a vote. and then that could potentially go into thursday. if speakers take a while on the floor and we're expecting republicans to once again defend the president. so this process, even though it is moving very quickly, is slated to get messy. >> we have heard a lot from freshmen democrats amidst this entire process, those that are supportive of im peaching a president, also those that are not necessarily supportive of impeaching a president, especially those in swing districts, you can't help but think about congressman jeff van drew who has decided to become a republican amidst all of this. what kind, if we're talking about those supportive of impeaching a president, what kind of political response are we expecting from some of tho

john: he is the greatest value investor of all time. some people talk about whether michael jordan is better than lebron james. there is no question when it comes to investing that warren is the best ever. david: ok, but value investing, as i understand it, is easier done when the markets are down. when the markets are high, there are not as many bargains. what have you been doing the last 10 years, because the markets have been high? john: it has been interesting. we were able to buy terrific bargains right around march of 2009 when the market was bottoming, and we got great brands, companies like cvs and royal caribbean, true bargains. as the markets recovered, some sectors have stayed really cheap. in particular, media. we love companies like viacom, and madison square garden network. those stocks are still really cheap. financial service companies, some that you know well, like lazard or kkr. there are some sectors that seem to be totally neglected, even as the markets recovered. david: let's talk about the economy. the united state

we heard mccarthy say jim jordan and john ratcliffe and doug collins. >> that would be very good for us. you look at the party. 200 republican senator members of the house right now, only 13 women. that's about to drop to less than 10. on the other hand, our party is incredibly diverse. it does give us a chance to show off some of the spectacular freshmen we just elected last year. >> you want to see one of them on there? >> at least one. >> really? >> absolutely. >> that's a lot of fresh blood. >> a lot of them come from very deep backgrounds, been prosecutors and cia agents and constitutional scholars. we have a good team. >> so how long can the speaker hold onto these articles of impeachment. >> i don't begin to second-guess her. i suspect it won't be that long. she wants to be enough pressure to have the right kind of fair trial, for example, witnesses and documents. on the other hand, we didn't go through all this national pain to get to the impeachment without wanting there to be a trial. i don't see us holding them indefinitely. >> so, senator blumenthal said he hoped early ja

news over the next couple of months is being early awaited to the people like mark meadows and jim jordan who believe this man john durham of concticut is the person who isoing to finally put people in handcuffs. that's what a lot of trump aligned republicans say that this is the person who is going to charge people. robe: so that's what some republicans want. but the bigger picture is where stees truth? there's the durham report, the i.g. report? where is the truth? >> there is no single truth i mean, there is. karoun said as jake said. n and there are different ways of looking that report. and everybody's going to pull it out if you listen to fox or msnbc. even this week, you heard very starkly different versions of reality. listen to the president talk. what he says at times has very little bearing on, you know, the facts set f that you wouldre the democrats. and getting them on the same spage really, really -- the probably imnoble this day and age. we're so atomized, we're so polarized. not just in our politics but our social interactions that we live in these separate universes and t

i would go to john ratcliffe, former u.s. attorney that did an amazing job. i go to jim jordan, doug collins, these are individuals i would pull in at the white house. we've been at this. remember democrats have been trying to impeach the president for 2 1/2 years, changing whatever they could find every step of the way from the mueller report to quid pro quo, extortion, bribery, what they came up today with articles that meet nowhere, no facts but through all the battles you have to want people who have been through it, understand it, been in the hearings even when they were in the i ba. that testimony, who has been in the rooms, those three individuals are ones that i would actually recommend to the president. maria: of course congressman radcliffe has been a friend to this program. been on many times. he knows cold what took place. he saw all the redacted documents. he knows what took place in terms of 2016 as so-called coup as you put it. stay with us. i want to hear about victories you have had going into 2020, your priorities. back in a minute with the

and john ratcliff under consideration to be on the president's defense team. is that accurate and would you accept such a role? >> you know, i'm really not at liberty to talk about that. i would be delighted to serve on the defense team. i feel very strongly in the president's case and if he asked me to serve in that capacity, i certainly would. but there's really -- i don't have much more to talk about this morning. >> you heard the senate majority leader make his case to the floor and you know that he is opposing any witnesses being called during a senate trial. i want to play the senate majority leader 20 years ago on cnn when a democratic president faced impeachment, his position on witnesses in the senate trial then and then get your reaction. have a listen. >> every other impeachment has had witnesses. it's not unusual to have witnesses in a trial, and i think we're handling this in exactly the appropriate way under the constitution and it will end soon. >> why were republicans in favor of witnesses in a senate trial when a democratic president faced imp

i'd go to jim jordan, doug collins. these are individuals that i would pull in if i was in the white house because we have been at this -- remember, the democrats have been trying to impeach the president for two and-a-half years. changing whatever they could find every step of the way, from the mueller report to trying to quid pro quo to extortion to bribery to what they came up today with articles that reach nowhere, no facts. through all those battles, you want people that have been through this, understand it and have been in the hearings, even when they were in the basement. maria: he made news there, saying the three people he's recommending that the president use to represent him in this trial and that as you heard was congressman john ratcliffe, congressman jim jordan and doug collins who is the ranking member of judiciary. joining us right now is the former new york congresswoman, claudia tenney. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. maria: you are living proof of what's going on in terms of those districts w

, jim jordan matt gaetz, and i can't mention everybody. and i would even argue the ensemble team, we wouldn't be where we are today. you guys took a lot of heat for all of this. how do you interpret? i find the remarks by both congressman meadows, the attorney general and john durham, the extent of remarks particularly of the attorney general. if i was one of the deep state ohmic deep state operatives i would find that ominous, and i would be lawyered up faster than you could say good morning. >> well, the attorney general needs to be applauded tonight because what he has done is try to put a frame behind the report that we just saw. inspector general horowitz and his team found a lot of great facts. i believe that they reached the wrong conclusion based on some of their limited tools. but more importantly than that, what we know, indeed, trump officials were spied upon, secretly recorded, but also what we know is that president trump was treated very differently. they went in and did a defense of briefing with them. what did they do? they

meanwhile in bethany, lazarus, the brother of martha and mary, is sick. >> we come to the story in john 11 about mary and martha and lazarus in the middle of things. something has gone tragically wrong, and lazarus is at death's door. >> most people who got sick would know that they were going to die. there aren't treatments that are going to ease your suffering at the end of life. knowing that you're going to die of a disease is a terrifying prospect. >> for mary and martha, only a miracle can save their brother. >> is it surprising that when we meet lazarus, he is defined by his sickness? it shouldn't be. all throughout the gospels, we see jesus as a healer. >> mary and martha send out an urgent communique to jesus, "the one whom you love is desperately ill. get yourself down here as quickly as you can possibly do it. you might be able to prevent this." >> jesus is far from bethany, beyond the jordan river. >> it does seem that mary and martha know where jesus and the disciples are and how to get in contact with them. >> when mary and martha send word to jesus that their brother is il

al-jazeera washington or my colleague has been speaking to a vis johns to wave a c's chief executive of inside unlimited that's consulting firm focusing on race gender and inclusion she says the surge in hate crimes in the u.s. is closely tied to what politicians in washington a saying. what we're experiencing here is a cultural shift that i believe starts from the top where you have a president who has been spewing hate from the very beginning of his campaign all throughout his presidency and unfortunately it's infecting our broader culture and so we're now at a point where we have a record number of hate groups in america now topping over a 1000 the largest number that we've ever seen since that statistic has been recorded and i think a lot of that has to do with the hateful rhetoric that we're seeing not only from this white house but also the hateful policies that have been acted and his over zealous miss in terms of trying to justify hateful activities you might recall that after the charlottesville sort of attack where one person was murdered and where you had nazis protesting

mark meadows and jim jordan and lindsey graham. the case where we are spying on the presidential nominee a few weeks before the election because they are too busy to look at the fisa application because they were too busy. they want to narrow it down to a couple of questions. i don't think that's the jurisprudence that serves americans well. it's becoming clear either attorney general barr or chief justice roberts are the only two people who can impose discipline because the fbi and the court don't seem to want to get involved. gregg: they lied to us before in fisa court applications. then director mueller promised he would fix it and he didn't. the fbi continued to deceive the fisa court. the court does not work. it needs to be worked into something else. andrew mccabe was fired from the fbi for lying four times. i think we have a graphic about his various alleged lies. now of course he sued the government saying you wrongfully terminated me. right. look at those lies on the left behind side of your screen. is this a subterfuge? >

and i mean matt fwai gates and jim jordan are in this -- are on this committee. and they'll have five minutes to opine or yell or whatever they want to do. >> even doug collins who's the ranking member is more articulate and fiery than devin nunes was. nunes was pretty monotone in what he was doing. i think it's really the clash or the collision of two strategies. the democrats are just about the evidence. just about the evidence. the republicans are trying to create a circus. and, you know, i think it's going to resemble, you know, a bunch of nerds on one side and a frat party on the other side. and the republicans will do whatever they can to disrupt it and -- >> i mean, if that's the case, which one do you think is more compelling? >> well, i expect that frat parties are more interesting than people arguing about the constitutional merits of high crimes and misdemeanors. >> bingo. i mean, bingo. doesn't that tell you all you need to know about how the democrats are not necessarily misplaying this but not reading the room right if. >> i don't think so. i think

i would go to john ratcliffe former u.s. attorney. i would go to jim jordan. i would go to doug collins. brian: doug collins just found out for certain he would be one of the house managers. that was house minority leader kevin mccarthy revealing who he thinks should represent the president in the senate impeachment trial in the house. one of those next picks is doug collins ranking member of the house judiciary committee. doug, i guess you knew but you didn't know it was going to be public. what's your reaction? >> well, i think there is always conversations. whatever the president and his team needs from, of course, the gentleman -- our leader mentioned are going to be great as far as working to do whatever we can. we have been working on this sham impeachment for the last impeachment for the last few months. whatevewhatever the president needs, we have shont ability to blow up the case that the democrats tried to make on this president. when the president is simply doing the american people's business. they are just trying to impeach him because as you said

. >> and john bolton. >> a lawyer for john bolton says his client has information on the meetings with ukraine. >> these witnesses must testify. call your senators now. >> these witnesses must testify. with me is elise jordan, a former aide in the bush white house, now an msnbc political analyst, and richard painter, former white house ethics lawyer in the bush administration. i want to read some of what ted cruz said as we just played it. he basically said it's certainly possible, and there are a kip couple that could vote that way. but anyone voting on the facts, anyone voting on the law, this is a very easy vote. do you think there is a possible crack here? >> i certainly think senator lisa murkowski was hinting at her displeasure with the process, and she has been known to break ranks in the looking a collins who is probably going to face a tougher reelection battle than she had was willing in '96 with the clinton impeachment -- or actually it would have been '98 by then, to not vote with republicans to impeach bill clinton on one of the impeachment charges. so if you're a -- if yo

jordan robinson in scarva asks, "which ni party will support borisjohnson s deal?" the basic answer to that is that none of the northern ireland parties have particularly good things to say about boris johnson have particularly good things to say about borisjohnson the‘s deal. the opposition has been strongest from the two unionist parties, both of which strongly oppose the deal because it is the right eye between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, the notion that there would be checks on goods would be something that they couldn‘t accept, it would lead to the break—up ultimately of the uk. the two nationalist parties, sinn fein and the sdlp, it would say that a deal is better than no—deal, but they are totally opposed to bricks, they have that mined out a major part of their election campaign. —— opposed to brexit. basically, no one at the moment. from valerie holmes in belfast, "should mrjohnson win, will he ditch his deal which treats northern ireland separately from the rest of the uk or will we still be in eu?" he is not going to get through t
