adam schiff speaking up about that tonight. >> i want to thank colonel vindman for his courage in coming forward, his willingness to follow the law and do his duty. i want to say how deeply appalled i was at the pernicious attacks of him last night on fox, the suggestion that because he's of ukrainian origin he has some dual loyalty. this purple heart recipient deserved better than that zandilozan scandalous attack. >> so good to have all of you on. i want to start with this new reporting out that "the times" reported and cnn confirmed as well. it said that vindman told investigators that president trump referenced tapes of joe biden talking about ukraine corruption during that july 25th phone call. it happened at the point of the transcript that contains the third set of ellipses. there's a lot of talk about biden's son, that biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that. biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution, so if you can, look into it. it sounds horrible to me. what do you make of that? >> well, i mean i think it's a big problem fo

house minority leader kevin mccarthy saying his party won't, quote, legitimize the schiff-pelosi sham impeachment. that as cnn has learned that aides inside the white house are still trying to figure out what their strategy should be. and in the midst of all this, there is the president's biggest obsession on full display, his obama obsession. trying to downplay his predecessor taking out osama bin laden and suggesting that abu bakr al baghdadi was a bigger terrorist. >> osama bin laden became big with the world trade center. this is a man who built a whole, as he would like to call it, a country, a caliphate, and was trying to do it again. >> so the fact is both bin laden and al baghdadi were murderous terrorists, full stop. the president also claiming that he warned the world bin laden would be big trouble and called for al qaeda's leader's death in a book that he wrote before the 9/11 attacks. >> i'm writing a book. the world trade center had not come down. i think it was about -- if you check, it was about a year before the world trade center came down. and i'm saying to people, t

however, though, if, for example, schiff objects, it would go up for a vote to the full democratic-led committee for a vote. is this fair, do you think, this process? >> that's the one point that, you know -- it's the same as was in '98 for clinton. you know, that is a little heavy-handed but look, i think objectively they need some protection if the house republicans try to just go gonzo here and make a circus of it or the white house does itself and obstructs things. and i think that's the basic idea. but they'll probably get their information. i think the big thing here is the provision for 45 minutes of questioning in advance by a staff member, i.e. by a lawyer. so that should cut through the whole circus of the five-minute back and forth. they'll have the circus at the end. but to have a lawyer boring down and having the transcript from the depositions to work with, that's gold. that's just what's been missing to date, and it will be really illuminating. >> harry, john, thank you so much. appreciate it. the obamas speaking out fade. what they're saying about racism in the country

i expect to see the house vote for impeachment while adam schiff is driving this full speed down the highway towards impeachment, he will hit a brick wall when it goes to the senate. you talked earlier about the court of public opinion. well, the court of the senate is really what matters here, and they are not going to vote to convict. so we're going to spend a lot of time like we did with the mueller report putting out a lot of information, and it may get through the house, but the senate is not going to move forward with this. >> so, listen, the question that i asked earlier about the quick dismissal, alice, they may not vote to convict. but a quick dismissal, they're saying, will be bad for the gop. >> look, i think the most important thing we can do is to put all the information out there. don, i've said a million times what he said on the phone call was inappropriate and ill advised. whether or not it's worthy of impeachment remains to be seen. the senate -- >> at this point -- let me ask you this, alice. i'm not cutting you off. i do want you to continue. more information is c
