00:21 Members on this committee didn't even

00:24 bother to show up for the hearing this morning.

00:26 Their own star witness said right here in this committee

00:31 this morning that he doesn't even

00:34 believe that there's enough evidence to meet the standards

00:37 needed for impeachment.

00:38 Mr. Turley, I have a simple question for you.

00:41 In your testimony today, are you presenting

00:44 any firsthand witness account of crimes

00:46 committed by the President of the United States?

00:49 No, I'm not.

00:50 But I will tell you what the President has been guilty of.

00:53 He has unfortunately been guilty of loving his child

00:55 unconditionally, and that is the only evidence

00:58 that they have brought forward.

01:04 We're 62 hours away from shutting down

01:13 based on a long, debunked, and discredited lie.

01:16 Here's what some Republicans have

01:21 had to say over the last week about the actions

01:23 of the Republicans as they watch up close, quote,

01:27 "the dysfunction caucus at work,"

01:30 in the words of our GOP colleague from Nebraska,

01:33 Don Bacon.

01:34 Clown show, foolishness, terribly misguided.

01:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:41 But I see a method in the madness.

01:43 A week ago, Donald Trump posted a comment

01:46 saying that a government shutdown, quote,

01:49 "is the last chance to defund these political prosecutions

01:53 against me and other patriots."
