On today’s podcast we analyze the Democratic debate and how CNN clearly had it out for Bernie Sanders. Also, Nancy Pelosi is set to name the House managers for the impeachment trial today, and we make some guesses as to who they’ll be.
Listen to the show:
Democrats debated last night, sort of. There wasn’t much disagreement or energy on the stage as candidates took their last shot at a large audience before the Iowa caucuses. The one area where there could have been fireworks — Elizabeth Warren’s accusation that Bernie Sanders told her a woman couldn’t be elected president — fizzled when the CNN moderator took Warren’s side, and Sanders, while denying it, slouched away from discussing the issue or objecting to the bias in the questions. Democrats want someone who will take on President Donald Trump, and if Bernie can’t even challenge a cable new personality over something he denies saying, what chance does he have against the president? We get into all of if.
The House is set to finally send the article of impeachment to the Senate today and will also name the “managers” who will try the case. We have some guesses as to who they’ll be and why Pelosi’s gambit was a failure.

thedailycaller--2020-01-15--Tensions Linger Between Warren And Sanders After CNN’s Democratic Debate In Iowa

Six of the remaining Democratic presidential candidates went head to head on issues of foreign policy , trade , health care , child care , and climate change ahead of the Iowa caucuses in early February , but the standout moment of the night was a brawl between Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders .
Former Vice President Joe Biden , Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg , Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar , billionaire Tom Steyer , Warren , and Sanders all qualified for Tuesday ’ s night debate , the first of 2020 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ debate on foreign policy , offering the candidates the opportunity to appeal to voters who are exhausted by , and skeptical of endless wars abroad .
The topic was also a weak spot for Biden , who was the only politician who supported the costly and deadly Iraq War in the aftermath of the September 11 , 2001 terror attacks .
The other candidates , particularly Sanders and Klobuchar , capitalized on the opportunity to hammer their personal opposition to the war .
Buttigieg noted that he served with people in the military @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vote to go to war with Iraq , adding that people who were not even alive on September 11 are now old enough to enlist .
Steyer , in a rare moment where he was able to successfully use his status as a businessman to his advantage , blamed the DC establishment for repeatedly making the same foreign policy mistakes and insisted that “ judgment ” is more important than “ experience ” in being commander in chief .
However , the candidates split on how many troops , if any , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and other middle eastern countries .
Warren was the only person on stage who said unequivocally that she would remove all combat troops from the Middle East .
( RELATED : Report : US Government Chronically Lied About Trillion Dollar War In Afghanistan ) Biden stepped in a snare again when he knocked President Donald Trump for striking Iranian military general Qasem Soleimani without congressional approval , leading to a rebuke from CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer , who mentioned President Barack Obama ’ s more than 500 drone strikes during his administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s tariffs and his negotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada ( USMCA ) trade deal to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) .
The USCMA deal passed with bipartisan support in the House and is set for a vote in the Senate , placing extra pressure on Warren , Klobuchar , and Sanders .
Warren and Klobuchar both said that while the deal is not perfect , they support it because it is an improvement upon NAFTA .
Sanders , however , said he could not support the USCMA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ modest improvements — because it does not do enough to address climate change .
Steyer agreed with Sanders that the USMCA does not address climate and therefore he could never vote for it , an apparent flip from his previous position .
“ This is a win for our great partners in labor and the American workers who fuel our economy , ” Steyer said about the USCMA after Democrats announced they had reached a deal with the president , according to Politico .
Despite Sanders ’ opposition to USCMA , he earned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he knocked prior trade deals as the product of corporate interests .
The jab was directed at Biden , who supported both NAFTA and the “ permanent normal trade relations , ” or PNTR with China .
“ Joe and I have a fundamental disagreement , in case you haven ‘ t noticed , ” Sanders said .
“ NAFTA , PNTR with China , other trade agreements were written for one reason alone , and that is to increase the profits of large , multi-national corporations.
” Viewers waited halfway through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up for : Warren vs. Sanders .
The pair clashed this week after secondhand sources claimed to CNN that Sanders told Warren during a private meeting in 2018 that he did not believe a woman could win the presidency .
Sanders has repeatedly denied that he made such a statement , and continued to do so Tuesday .
“ Well , as a matter of fact I didn ’ t say that , ” Sanders said .
“ How could anybody in a million years not believe that a woman could become president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questioned , adding that there is a video of him in 1988 saying that he believed a woman could win .
( Bernie Sanders Denies Warren ’ s Claim That He Said A Woman Couldn ’ t Win The Presidency ) In a stunning moment that led many viewers to call out CNN for journalistic malpractice , debate moderator Abby Phillip accepted Warren ’ s version of events wholesale and asked her how she reacted to Sanders ’ alleged comments .
“ Senator Warren , what did you think when Senator Sanders told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the election ?
” Phillip asked .
Warren stated that she “ disagreed ” with Sanders and was never asked to state “ yes ” or “ no ” if the events occurred as described in CNN ’ s initial report .
Both candidates used the opportunity to detail their support for women , earning them applause from the audience , and the brawl quickly derailed into pro-diversity statements from each of the candidates .
The debate moderators went on to question the candidates about topics that were well-tread in previous debates , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump , and climate change .
However , it was a foray into child care policies that lead to a moment of apparent dishonesty from Warren .
The Des Moines Register ’ s Brianne Pfannenstiel pointed out that Warren supports free college tuition for all families , but imposes an income cap on families who may received free child care under her plan .
Warren suggested the question was inaccurate , responding , “ Actually , my plan is universal child care for everyone .
It has some people adding a small payment.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s child care plan by Vox , she does indeed only offer free child care services to families making less than 200 % of the federal poverty line .
Families making more than that would pay up to 7 % of their income for child care .
Toward the end of the debate , Buttigieg was forced to address his abysmal polling with black voters , wherein he claimed that the black voters who know him the best tend to support him .
“ The black voters who know me best are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked about his “ next to no ” black support .
“ It ’ s why I have the most support in South Bend , and among elected black officials in my community who have gotten into this race , by far most of them are supporting me.
” Buttigieg also added that he will never “ take black votes for granted.
” Biden was able to use the question to slip in a reminder about his own stellar support among black voters .
The debate ended with relatively few standout moments for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were warned prior that they would lose speaking time if they attempted to interrupt an opponent .

The other candidates, particularly Sanders and Klobuchar, capitalized on the opportunity to hammer their personal opposition to the war.
“I thought Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld were lying,” Sanders asserted.
Buttigieg noted that he served with people in the military who were hardly old enough to remember the vote to go to war with Iraq, adding that people who were not even alive on September 11 are now old enough to enlist.
Steyer, in a rare moment where he was able to successfully use his status as a businessman to his advantage, blamed the DC establishment for repeatedly making the same foreign policy mistakes and insisted that “judgment” is more important than “experience” in being commander in chief.

Biden stepped in a snare again when he knocked President Donald Trump for striking Iranian military general Qasem Soleimani without congressional approval, leading to a rebuke from CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer, who mentioned President Barack Obama’s more than 500 drone strikes during his administration.
The debate soon turned to Trump’s tariffs and his negotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade deal to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn filed a court motion Tuesday seeking to withdraw his guilty plea in a case that originated with the special counsel’s investigation.
Flynn’s legal team accused prosecutors of acting in “bad faith” and out of “vindictiveness” when they recommended in a court filing on Jan. 7 that Flynn receive up to six months in prison in his case.
Flynn pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017 to making false statements during a Jan. 24, 2017 meeting with FBI agents regarding his interactions with Sergey Kislyak, who served at the time as Russia’s ambassador to the U.S.
Prosecutors recommended in December 2018 that Flynn receive a sentence of probation with no jail time because of “substantial” assistance he provided the special counsel’s team. Flynn also gave interviews to prosecutors in Virginia who charged Flynn’s former business partner, Bijan Rafiekian, with acting as a foreign agent of Turkey.

Brit Hume: Witness Push A ‘Hail Mary Pass’ From Democrats Who ‘Don’t Think’ Their Evidence Is ‘Sufficient’

Fox News contributor Brit Hume called Democratic efforts to call witnesses in the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump a “ Hail Mary pass.

“ I think that witnesses could happen but make no mistake about what this is , this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by a Democratic prosecution , House prosecutors who obviously don ’ t think the evidence they have introduced so far is sufficient for a conviction and they are trying at the last minute to get further witness testimony , ” Hume told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum .
“ Think about it for a second , what do they know about what these witnesses will testify to ?
” the former Fox News anchor asked .
“ The answer is nothing .
They don ’ t know what John Bolton would say or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them .

They haven ’ t taken depositions .

“I think that witnesses could happen but make no mistake about what this is, this is a Hail Mary pass being encouraged mostly by a Democratic prosecution, House prosecutors who obviously don’t think the evidence they have introduced so far is sufficient for a conviction and they are trying at the last minute to get further witness testimony,” Hume told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum.
“Think about it for a second, what do they know about what these witnesses will testify to?” the former Fox News anchor asked. “The answer is nothing. They don’t know what John Bolton would say or Mick Mulvaney or any of the rest of them. They don’t know what these people are going to say. They haven’t taken depositions. They haven’t interviewed them so they don’t know what they’re going to say.

Though few institutions in public life are as removed from internet meme culture as the U.S. Supreme Court , a cutting rejoinder popular in social media made an appearance during a Wednesday case about an age discrimination statute .
Chief Justice John Roberts wondered if the phrase “ OK , boomer , ” popular among young people as a dig at baby boomers , might be enough to prove actionable bias against older workers .
He expressed concerns that such an expansive theory would chill speech .
“ The hiring person is younger and says , you know , ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ applicant , ” Roberts postulated , to laughter in the courtroom .
“ Is that actionable ?
” “ I ’ m just wondering if your position is going to become just a regulation of speech in the workplace , ” the chief justice added .

Solicitor General Noel Francisco countered that relief from such a policy is available by other means, like civil service laws.
