CANDIDATE JOE LEIB LIEBERMAN
YOUR REACTION TO HEARINGS
WHERE YOU THINK THIS
IMPEACHMENT SITUATION IS
GOING.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I VIEW THIS
FROM UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
BECAUSE, AS A MEMBER OF THE
SENATE 1998-1999 I WENT
THROUGH IMPEACHMENT OF
PRESIDENT CLINTON, AND WE HELD
A TRIAL, IN THE SENATE IN
WHICH HE WAS ACQUITTED.
PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT THE HOUSE
PARTICULARLY AFTER THE
TESTIMONY THEY GOT LAST COUPLE
WEEKS WILL IMPEACH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
IT WILL BE UNFORTUNATELY BUT
ALMOST TOTALLY A PARTISAN VOTE
BUT PROBABLY EXACTLY WHAT THE
FRAMERS THOUGHT WHEN THEY PUT
IMPEACHMENT CLAUSE IN, AND
THEN, BY ANY RATIONALE
PREDICTION BARRING SOME
SHOCKING NEW REVELATION, THE
SENATE WILL ACQUIT, PRESIDENT
TRUMP THEY WILL NOT CONVICT
HIM I WANT TO SAY WITH REGARD
TO NUMBERS YOU PUT UP, WHEN --
THE PUBLIC OPINION MATTERS
HERE YOU KNOW DURING THE
CLINTON IMPEACHMENT, I WENT
BACK AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME
LOOKING AT THE CONSTITUTIONAL
HISTORY.
THE FOUNDERS INTENDED
IMPEACHMENT TO BE USED RARELY,
BECAUSE THE ELECTION THE POWER
OF PEOPLE IN OUR DEMOCRACY TO
CHOOSE THEIR LEADERS WAS TO BE
THE ULTIMATE TEST OF
AUTHORITY, AND YOU ONLY WANTED
CONGRESS INTERVENING IN
BETWEEN ELECTIONS WHEN
BASICALLY THEY FELT THAT A
PRESIDENT WAS NO LONGER FIT TO
LEAD THE COUNTRY SO IT IS A
HIGH STANDARD ONLY THE FOURTH
TIME IN OUR HISTORY BUT PUBLIC
OPINION MATTERS.
IN THAT WAY.
MARIA:  PRACTICABLE SPEAKING
SENATOR IF PRESIDENT TRUMP
GETS IMPEACHED IN THE HOUSE
ACQUITTED IN SENATE, WHAT DOES
THAT I MEAN HE GOES ON, AND HE
CONTINUES BEING PRESIDENT AND
THEN HAS ELECTION NEXT YEAR?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS, IT IS UP
TO THE PUBLIC THE CITIZENRY TO
DECIDE WHETHER ANYTHING THAT
CAME OUT DURING THE
IMPEACHMENT PROCESS ABOUT
AFFECTS THEIR VOTE.
BUT REALLY IN A WAY, THAT IS
THE WAY THE FOUNDERS OF OUR
COUNTRY INTENDED THAT
ULTIMATELY THIS IS ALL ABOUT
ELECTIONS.
>> INCREDIBLE OUT THERE.
>> IT IS.
>> ANOTHER DEBATE THIS WEEK
FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA
SPEAKING TO DONORS IN
CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK SAYING
THAT DEMOCRATS NEED TO QUOTE
CHILL OUT UNQUOTE ABOUT THE
2020 FIELD AND SHOULD INSTEAD
FOCUS ON BEATING PRESIDENT
TRUMP OBAMA MAKING COMMENTS
ABOUT STATE OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY WARNING ABOUT MOVING TOO
FAR TO THE LEFT WE HAVE SPOKEN
ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST WITH
ALLY HAS THIS PARTY MOVED SO
FAR TO THE LEFT.
>> THE GOOD NEWS IS PRESIDENT
OBAMA SAID WHAT HE DID, A LOT
OF PEOPLE, SAW HIM, AS A
LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PROBABLY IS A
LIBERAL DEMOCRAT BUT MORE OF A
CENTER LEFT DEMOCRAT KIND OF
REFORMER, THAN WHAT I MIGHT
CALL SOME OF THE
REVOLUTIONARIES RUNNING IN A
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY WOULD
CHANGE LAST OUR SYSTEM, I
THOUGHT IT WAS FASCINATING
PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID, WHY
WOULD OUR PARTY SOME
CANDIDATES WANT TO TAKE AWAY,
FROM PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE
MUCH THE LITTLE THEY HAVE.
AND I ASSUMED HE IS TALKING
ABOUT HEALTH CARE.
>> MEDICARE FOR ALL.
>> ELIMINATING 180 MILLION --
>> THEY GOT FROM THEIR
EMPLOYER.
SO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
I DON'T KNOW.
LISTEN, THIS IS PART OF THE
PROBLEM OF POLITICS IN BOTH
PARTIES IN OUR COUNTRY.
WANT THE RIGHT AND REPUBLICAN
PARTY LEFT AND DEMOCRATIC
PARTY HAS DISIMPORTANT
IMPORTANT SHUN ATE NEWS FIRED
UP COME OUT CENTER RIGHT
CENTER LEFT REPUBLICANS, AND
DEMOCRATS, AND INDEPENDENTS
HAVE POWER, IN MY OPINION A
MAJORITY TO ELECTRIC SOMEBODY
WHO WILL ACTUALLY WORK WITH
THE OTHER PARTY.
MARIA:  LIKE BILL CLINTON DID.
>> LIKE CLIRN AND GINGRICH,
REAGAN TIP O'NEILL.
>> HAVE IT IS HARD TO THINK
ANYTHING GETS DONE WITH HATRED
BETWEEN TWO I GOT TO GET TO I
WAS CHINA AS WELL PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
INDICTED ON CORRUPTION CHARGES
YESTERDAY IN A DEADLOCKED
POLITICAL SYSTEM.
YOUR REACTION.
>> IT IS SERIOUS.
YOU KNOW I KNOW PRIME MINISTER
NETANYAHU FOR A LONG TIME
SINCE HE WAS THE SECOND IN
CHARGE OF THE ISRAELI EMBASSY
IN WASHINGTON, EARLY 80S.
BUT HE IS A FIGHTER.
SO HE WILL FIGHT ON, AND
IMMEDIATE QUESTION IS WHAT
HAPPENS WITHIN HIS POLITICAL
PARTY, CALLED THE QUD WILL
THERE BE A MOVE TO REMOVE HIM
AS LEAD OF THE PARTY THEREFORE
CANDIDATE FOR PRIME MINISTER
IN THE ELECTIONS THAT WILL NOW
HAPPEN SOMETIME NEXT YEAR.
I THINK PROBABLY STRONG ENOUGH
TO RESIST THAT, SO IT IS GOING
TO BE A TIME OF TUMULT IN
ISRAELI POLITICS, BUDGETS
FROZEN, ET CETERA, ONE THING
WON'T AFFECT BECAUSE THERE IS
STILL A CONSISTENCE ACROSS ALL
PARTIES THERE IS THEIR WORK ON
NATIONAL SECURITY.
STOPPING IRAN FROM -- AND
PROXIES FROM ATTACKING,
KEEPING THE COUNTRY SECURE SO
THAT IRAN WANTS TO WIPE ILZ
OFF HAVEMAN WE HAVE HEARD THAT
UMPTEEN TIMES PROTESTERS
THERE.
>> SECRETARY OF STATE POMPEO
ASKING IRANIANS TO SEND U.S.
VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE REGIME
CRACKDOWN ON PROTESTERS, MIKE
POMPEO, BASICALLY SAYING, WE
ARE WATCHING YOU WE WANT TO
SEE THESE VIDEOS, WHAT DO YOU
THINK WHERE THAT IS GOING.
>> I THINK SECRETARY POMPEO
AND TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAVE
BEEN REALLY SUPERB ON IRAN, AS
THE BREAKING OUT OF THE BAD
NUCLEAR AGREEMENT BY THE
ADMINISTRATION, THE IMPOSING
OF TOUGH ECONOMIC SANCTIONS ON
IRAN IS EXACTLY WHY THERE IS
SO MUCH UNREST, IN IRAN THERE
IS ALSO A UNREST BECAUSE
PEOPLE FEEL SUPPRESSED THEY
DON'T HAVE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES THEY DON'T HAVE
FREEDOM.
I BELIEVE FROM SOURCES I HAVE
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
PROTESTING IN STREETS JUST
ASKING FOR LOWER GAS PRICES,
WERE KILLED BY THE GOVERNMENT,
IN IRAN, OVER THE LAST WEEK.
SO I THINK WE'VE GOT TO KEEP
ECONOMIC PRESSURE ON I HOPE
THAT THE EUROPEANS WILL JOIN
AMERICA MAXIMUM PRESSURE
ECONOMIC CAMPAIGN EVENTUALLY
THE MULLAHS WHO RUN IRAN HAVE
TO DECIDE COME BACK SIGN A
BETTER NUCLEAR AGREEMENT, OR
THEY ARE GOING TO FACE AN UP
RISING FROM PEOPLE WILL PUSH
THEM OUT OF POWER.
>> ON CHINA PRESIDENT XI
JINPING, OVERNIGHT SPEAKING TO
A SMALL GROUP APPARENTLY IT
WAS A DOZEN PEOPLE OR SO THAT
INCLUDES FORMER U.S.
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HANK
PAULSON GARY COHN IN THE ROOM
WHEN XI JINPING SAID THE
FOLLOWING WE WANT TO WORK FOR
PHASE ONE AGREEMENT ON THE
BASIS OF MUCH REPUBLICAN
EQUALITY BUT WHEN NECESSARY WE
WILL FIGHT BACK.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING -- TO TRY
NOT TO HAVE A TRADE WAR DID
NOT INITIATE THIS TRADE WAR
NOT SOMETHING WE WANT
RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS.
IS THIS THE RIGHT WAY TO
APPROACH CHINA WITH THE
TARIFFS OR IS THERE SOMETHING
MORE?
HOW DO YOU SEE THINGS.
>> I WAS HE ENCOURAGING BY
PRESIDENT XI JINPING'S
RESPONSE AMERICAN LEADERS
THERE FOR ECONOMIC FORUM SO I
THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD BECAUSE,
PRESIDENT XI WANTS AN
AGREEMENT HE DOESN'T WANT AN
ECONOMIC WAR WITH THE U.S. HE
DOESN'T WANT A MILITARY
CONFLICT WITH U.S. I DON'T
BELIEVE PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESET
PRESIDENT TRUMP I THINK IS
GOING AFTER TARIFFS TO TRY TO
BALANCE OUR RELATIONSHIP NOT
GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN ECONOMY
EITHER.
MARIA:  NATIONAL SECURITY
RISKS WHEN YOU LOOK AT HUAWEI
AND THEIR EQUIPMENT, BACKDOOR
GOING BACK TO CHINESE GO OF
THE.
>> YEAH THERE ARE REAL WORRIES
WITHIN OUR INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY ABOUT THAT.
IF THE CHINESE TELECOM
COMPANIES WANT TO DO BUSINESS
IN THE UNITED STATES THEY
REALLY HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO
ASSURE US, THAT WHEN WE BUY
THEIR PRODUCTS WE ARE NOT
ESSENTIALLY APPLYING OURSELVES
INTO DEPENDENCE ON THEM WHEN
WILL EVENTUALLY COMPROMISE OUR
SECURITY, WE CAN DO THAT, IF
THEY COOPERATE.
>> OKAY.
>> SO THIS SHOULD BE A
WIN-WIN.
I BELIEVE WE ARE ACTUALLY
GOING TO WORK THIS OUT AND
TARIFFS ISSUE GOING DOWN A
LITTLE BIT, AND WE ARE GOING
TO CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE
BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN THE
INTERESTS OF PRESIDENT XI
PRESIDENT TRUMP CHINA OR THE
U.S. FOR THIS TO BLOW UP INTO
