The AP Interview: Vermont Sen. Leahy ponders his legacy
"It's the end of almost a half century in Washington, D.C. for democratic Vermont senator Patrick Leahy, who finishes his career in January and says goodbye to Washington with a mix of resignation and resolve. 82 year old senator Patrick Leahy took office in 1975 and hopes the collegiality he once knew will return. I'm very worried if we don't get back to it. This country is going to be severely damaged. He cast over 17,000 votes, one of the first against funding the Vietnam War. You can imagine the pressure I was getting. I was told that I'd never be real elected. I thought that's the case. It's worth it. And what's he most proud of after 48 years? I kept my Vermont values and my integrity. Senator Lee, he leads office January 3rd, his successor, Vermont's democratic representative Peter Welch. I'm Julie Walker

The polls have closed in 6 states so far on this election I, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia, a key race in Georgia could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate. I'm Jim crystal and Atlanta. The high profile race between incumbent democratic U.S. senator Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker is thought to be so close. There's already talk of the possibility of a December 6th runoff election. Warnock has told voters walker is unfit for Capitol Hill. Walker has cast Warnock as a rubber stamp for president Joe Biden and Democrats. CBS jury Duncan is in Philadelphia. Senate race here in Pennsylvania is a key race. A lot of people looking at this because it also could be the determining factor of who has power in the Senate. Democratic lieutenant governor John fetterman faces Republican doctor mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania. CBS News pollster Monica McDermott says the overall mood of voters is negative on this election day, 73% are dissatisfied or angry with the way the country is going right now. These are the highest numbers we've seen since the 2008 election. Some of this is no doubt due to the economy, some of it might be due to the condition we're facing in our democracy right now. Polls will close soon in North Carolina, Ohio, and in West Virginia, CBS News special report. I'm Linda kenyon. We've got some Senate results already.

It's a big win for progressives, who had been heavily backing the lint over Molly gray, who's the state's lieutenant governor, who is the Senate pro tem there winning very convincingly by an almost two to one margin.

"The bowls are now closed in all the states holding primaries tonight, Vermont, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. In Wisconsin, lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes is projected to win the democratic nomination for Senate, taking on incumbent Republican Ron Johnson. And joining us live on Skype this evening political junkie podcast host Ken rudin, who has coordinated political coverage of both ABC News and NPR. Welcome back Ken talk about the history here and what you see in this Wisconsin battle now between Mandela Barnes and Ron Johnson Ron Johnson I noticed already sent out a news release calling Barnes radical. Well, he certainly liberal. I don't know how radically he is, but he certainly liberal, and that's what the Republican line is. It'll be about Mandela Barnes. Not only is he lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, but he's also African American. And we've seen a lot of cases of Republicans who are running against African American candidates calling them radicals. So we'll see if that works. The fact is Barnes has already won statewide in Wisconsin. And so voters know him. Ron Johnson, on the other hand, may be the most vulnerable Republican of any Republican seeking reelection this year. It's going to be a tough race. And again, you know, the whoever party winds up winning control of the Senate Wisconsin could go down. It could make it make the difference. And we know over to Wisconsin now construction company co owner Tim Michaels has Trump's endorsement in the governor's race and the established Republicans, including Mike Pence in former governor Scott walker, have endorsed Rebecca clayfish. So how is that looking for all of them? Well, you know, we do mention that Michaels does have Trump's endorsement and he does. Michaels also has close to $10 million that he spent in the primary. He's run once before back in 2004. He ran for the Senate against Russ feingold and back then feingold called him a rubber stamp for president Bush back then that was a day when Republicans didn't win in Wisconsin and now you know they could win the governorship Tony Evers is considered very vulnerable and so we'll see what happens with that, but clay fish does clayfish does have the endorsement as you say of Scott walker and Mike Pence and of course the media loves to set up these pens versus Trump rivalries and conflicts. And of course, if Wisconsin is considered one of those, it may be a good thing for Donald Trump if Michael's wins. Right now it's very, very close, less than half the vote has been counted and Michaels has a slight lead. Now, there are a lot of other directions we could go in and of course it is your choice if you have another thought, but I thought it was very significant that in Vermont, Becca balance could very well become the first woman to serve in Congress from that state ever. Yes, I mean, I'll try to make it fast, but Peter Welch who was the congressman is giving up the seat to run for a pet Leahy Senate seat. Ley he's giving it up after 48 years in the Senate. Ballot won a tough primary. She ran as a true progressive. The two senators of Vermont were against each other Bernie Sanders backed balance and pat Leahy back the Molly gray her opponent. So we'll have a clear advantage over the demo of the Republican nominee Vermont is still a very democratic leading state and he, as you say, could make history in the first woman to be elected to Congress, House or Senate in Vermont. Thanks so much, Ken. We appreciate your analysis. Thank you very much. Again, that was Ken rudin, political junkie podcast host. And still ahead here the Nats are hanging tough

"Dot com today and schedule your free in home estimate. Nice to have you here tonight at 7 ten. And its campaign 2022 on WTO this evening's primary elections in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Connecticut and Vermont come one day after former president Trump's Mar-a-Lago Florida home was searched by the FBI. It sent some Republican strategists scrambling, especially those with a Trump endorsement tonight, some of the election results could be a clear indication of the former president's hold. Joining us live on Skype, political junkie podcast host Ken rudin, who is coordinated political coverage at ABC News and NPR, and Ken, let's begin in Wisconsin, construction company co owner, Tim Michaels, has Trump's endorsement in the governor's race, establishment Republicans, including Mike Pence and former governor Scott walker, have endorsed Rebecca clayfish, but it's important to point out that both candidates have said some things in denial of the 2020 election and Joe Biden's victory. That's absolutely right. A matter of fact, Wisconsin is like Arizona, the state we saw a week or so ago, which is also had a lot of Republicans running for office there that spent most of their campaign denying that the 2020 election resulted in a Joe Biden victory. So it's interesting that Tim Michaels has been endorsed by Donald Trump because clayfish, the former lieutenant governor, has also had questions about the 2020 vote. But whenever it is, Tony Evers is a democratic governor there. He has spent a long time a lot of his tenure blocking Republican efforts to rewrite election laws and he is a top Republican target. The battle between clayfish and Michaels thought to be very, very close. What's happening in the Wisconsin Senate race. Well, it was going to be a very interesting race Mandela Barnes, the lieutenant governor there was probably the favorite, but he had three democratic challenges. It just so happened that last month all three dropped out of the race and endorsed Barnes, Barnes is African American, as I said, he's lieutenant governor, and he's running against Ron Johnson, the Republican senator who may be the most vulnerable Republican in the Senate is a question whether Barnes is too liberal to win, and in Wisconsin, but again with Ron Johnson's numbers, always below sea level. This can be another key race if the Democrats are going to hold on to the Senate. In Minnesota, progressive democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar is facing a challenger is there anything for her campaign to worry about? Well, there's always something to worry about because she has a lot of negatives and a lot of opponents around the country and in Minnesota, but she should win. I think the most interesting thing in Minnesota, there's a special election in the first district to replace Republican congressman who died of cancer back in February. This Republican candidate Brad finsta, he could very well win the special election today, but lose the primary at the same time. So, you know, the long congressional career of Brad finstad may only last a couple of months. And now asking you to do the impossible in our remaining few seconds, what else is kind of on your radar in Connecticut and Vermont? Well, from a not too much to talk about in Connecticut, but if we only have a few seconds, I would focus on for a month. Of course, Peter Welch is a congressman is running for pat Leahy's Senate seat. He's giving up, but the battle to replace Peter Welch in the house is between a woman whose backed by Bernie Sanders and a more moderate woman backed by pat Leahy for a month has never elected a woman to the house or a Senate. So that's going to be a very interesting primary to watch in Vermont. Thank you so much, Ken. Thank you, Michelle. That is Ken rudin, political junkie podcast host he joined us on Skype. All right, some local kids have been battling to get to the little league World Series. We'll find out how that's going and why commanders head coach Ron Rivera fired somebody today. It's next on WTO. Hey, there's something different about my mango pineapple smoothie. Really? My grandma will wrap a taste fine. Something's definitely different. No difference?

"The committee explored four possible explanations for the objects. They could be nothing at all, just errors and sensors or other instruments. Though some of those sensors are human pilots themselves, who swear by what they've seen. They could be new weapons systems, or other technology being tested by foreign adversaries, such as Russia or China. Both of which are known to be working on hypersonic systems capable of flying at 5 times the speed of sound, or faster. It's also possible the phenomena are a so called blue on blue sightings. American pilots spotting classified American technology. And, of course, they could, in theory, be of extraterrestrial origin. Bray was quick to dismiss or at least minimize the blue on blue explanation. We've established relationships with organizations and entities that are potentially flying or developing platforms, and our goal is to continue, he said. We have a process to de conflict activities to ensure that we are not potentially reporting on something that may be a development platform. Certainly, it seems logical that if the military were both testing new technology and sending aviators up for routine surveillance and training flights, it would make sure to keep them out of each other's way, but while there haven't been any collisions between UAPs and pilots, there have been at least 11 near misses bray said. The possibility of mere instrumentation malfunctions, video cameras, or other sensors simply ginning up UAP ghosts, was also quickly dismissed, at least, in some cases. There could be some sightings that are a meteorological phenomenon, or something like that, that may not be a physical object, asked congressman Raja krishnamoorthi, Democrat from Illinois. I can say with certainty that a number of these are physical objects, answered prey. That brought the hearing to the most tantalizing possibility. That the objects are of extraterrestrial origin. No one knows whether there's extraterrestrial life, said congressman Peter Welch Democrat from Vermont, it's a big universe, and it would be pretty presumptuous to have a hard and fast conclusion. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that there is some exploration coming here. And response, moultrie was clear that this is an idea the Department of Defense is not ruling out and that it will be candid if it finds any evidence to support an extraterrestrial explanation. There are elements in our government that are engaged, and looking for life in other places, he said. Our goal is not to potentially cover up something if we find something. It's to understand what may be out there and examine what it may mean for us from a defense perspective, and such a case, he said, transparency actually is very important for public consumption. That left the final possibility of hostile powers testing offensive technology, and on that score, the committee was not nearly so transparent. The members did not even address the possibility in any detail. Only Welch mused about the chance that the UAPs could be foreign surveillance drones. And if so, that has to be analyzed and stopped, he said. But he did not ask bray or moultrie to comment on that scenario. Krishnamoorthi inquired whether any wreckage was recovered from any of the objects either on the ground or underwater, bray deferred the question to the later closed testimony..

Welcome the reserves. Gentlemen from Massachusetts is recognized. Mr Speaker. Um, let me remind all of my colleagues that what happened on Wednesday would not have happened if it weren't For the occupant. In the White House. And if we want to put the people first we all ought to vote to impeach him and remove him from office as soon as possible with that yield. One minute to the gentleman from California is Brownlie. Gentleman from California's recognized for one minute Mr Speaker. Today is a defining moment in our history. Congress was attacked by a mob directed by the president of the United States. It was a Horrible, terrifying situation. But we all know deep in our hearts, and it could have been much, much worse. We simply cannot let it stand. We cannot let it stand for the very soul of our democracy. We cannot let the president of the United States leave office without acting. We're the oldest constitutional republic in the world and our discussion. Julia Brownley, a Democrat from California. My colleagues across the aisle. I appeal to your sense of service and duty to our nation and to the oath we all swore to uphold before we are Democrats and Republicans. We are Americans. Let us come together to fulfill our oath by voting for the resolution before us and by defending, preserving and honoring our democracy. Ah yield back.

President of the United States that the U. S House of Representatives has every right to impeach the president of the United States. But what we're doing today rushing this impeachment in an hour or two hour long debate on the floor. This chamber. Bypassing judiciary poses great questions about the constitutionality of this process. I believe we need to hold the president accountable. I hold him accountable for the events that transpired for the attack on our capital last Wednesday. I also believe that we need to hold accountable every single person, even members of Congress. If they contributed to the violence that transpired here. But today, I'm asking my colleagues to remember the words of the legendary the great leader in this country. Dr Martin Luther King, who once said the time is always right to do what is right. If we're serious about healing the divisions in this country, Republicans and Democrats seemed to acknowledge this is not the first day of violence we've seen. We've seen violence across our country for the last nine months. And we need to recognize number one that our words have consequences that there is violence on both sides of the aisle. We have contributed to it. We need to take responsibility for our words and our actions. We did to acknowledge there is a problem, take responsibility for it and stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution.

The deceit is repeated in baseless assertions of the electoral fraud. The violence, the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6th. Mob was assembled by Donald Trump incited by Donald Trump and in service of Donald Trump's effort to overturn through violence. What he lost it the voting booth. Violent mob reached the capital. Killed and injured Capitol police destroyed property threatened the vice president, members of Congress and staff. All to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. If we want unity.

This is Congressman Congressman Peter. Well should Democrat of Vermont on lockdown inside the capital s. So you're saying Congressman they had no point Did you have any interaction with the protesters? Or you? Do you do even see them? Well, the what? I did See it. We were being evacuated to one side of the Capitol. And we're all trying to follow in line. Especially put. I heard that the crashing sounds. Of battering against the main entry door to the House floor. And then I saw Capitol police guns drawn, trying to find things that they could put against the door to hold back. Incoming mob on and then the urgency that they displayed on your faces and again all the comes from telling us to stay low and pee on the floor. Uh, he made made it pretty clear that this is no drill. Uh, some time passed and they made the decision to evacuate us as quickly as we possibly put. So you had All these numbers and a lot of press various states of health having to essentially do acrobatics. Get over these railings in narrow passageways and to get out And they got us all out, and they got to stop safely in what I understand. It's right after we got out. The mob was successful in battering the doors from the blast doors. Both speakers Bobby and actually came into the house itself. But all of us who were there did meant to get out safely. But it was an astonishing experience that this really it's a temple of democracy. Whether you're an independent Republican or a Democrat to place where Abraham Lincoln served with based or made that were violence is forming. Hmm. I actually want to ask you were talking for listeners who are just joining in. We're talking with Peter Welch, Democrat from Vermont. You likely knew coming to the capital today that this would be quite a contentious day. Quite a long day head. You all been talking about the potential for violence today as a possibility? I wasn't You know, it's your job if you work here, and this is a contentious Election in it was going to be a contentious debate. And, frankly, from my point of view, challenging the election is really off limits in total violation, democratic norms, But this is something the president's been fomenting since before the election. He was saying it was gonna be rigged. He lost, he claimed he lost because of this rig. Aziz really incited all these folks to do this? But I thought at the end of the day, there'd be security around the capital in that contentious is the debate would be we would have to debate We decide the question and we certify the election. Joe Biden, Thomas Harris in that remains our task. We have to do that. But it is a stunning, stunning event that you'd only see in in in South American capitals in the oldest. Where lives on the outside, incited by our comp elected officials, Donald Trump actually stormed the capital reached it. And engage in violent activity. You have you been able to speak with your GOP colleagues? As you sit there and lock down about what to do now to join the country together? Is that even possible? Well, we have to do that. I mean, number one. Democracy is going to go on it in our job right now. Despite this is to certify the election you, Joe Biden. But there's damage that's been done. And we're not gonna undo this, and each of us has to make our decisions about how we're going to conduct yourself in a Democratic society. I mean, the whole cardinal rule of our democracy is that elections matter in people's decision is the one we respect. Has been breached by Donald Trump. And anything goes. If you don't like the election outcome, you can incite the mob to try to undo it. That's damage in our job, all of a system of Paris. I think my Republican colleagues were quite upset about what happened. But, you know, in all candor they participated is willing coconspirator with Donald Trump in fomenting the environment of that resulted in this today. What is that in the background? We're hearing there. I think we're gonna hear from a security person. I see. Well, we're going toe. You're going to let you go for now. That's Congressman Peter Welch, a Democrat from Vermont. And you're listening to special coverage from NPR news. I want to bring in Sue Davis, Tamara Keith and Claudia Gonzalez once again, Sue. What did you hear? They're from the congressman. I think you can hear in. His reaction is sort of shared response from all of us. This is sort of horrifying and stunning to see. I mean, the Capitol complex is one of the most secure places literally in the country. The Capitol police force is larger than most mid size cities Police forces It has specialty units to respond to terrorist threats. It has bomb units. It has units for when they're suspicious packages that are laid around the capital, which happens all the time but are generally not threatening things and they were just completely overrun. Today. It is something that people Just some simply did not think could happen, especially in the post 9 11 era. When you know there was a time when you used to be able to sort of drive your car.

CNN's The Daily DC
Trump says will 'strongly consider' testifying in impeachment probe - but would it ever happen?
"Back to the daily DC. The Impeachment Watch I am Zach Wolf. Alex Marquardt is still with me. And we're pleased to welcome CNN. Legal analyst Michael Zeldin. Thanks for joining us. Michael my my pleasure to things kind of interesting happened this morning number one Responding to Nancy Pelosi from over the weekend Donald Trump president trump suggests that he could be Willing to testify or at least to give written testimony to the impeachment inquiry. He said essentially to move it along so the Democrats could get something done for the country. That's thing thing one thing too. Is the house. Democrats made clear that they're investigating now. Donald Donald Trump and whether he Lied to Congress essentially As part of the Mueller investigation when he offered written testimony or answered questions wins in writing for Robert. Muller in this part of They're a lawsuit to get hold of grand jury Documents and testimony any from the Muller investigation this now ties into the impeachment investigation. It's all meshing together but these two things about Donald Trump and testifying before Congress which would be pretty much unprecedented I think And number two This idea that he may have said something that was incorrect about wikileaks. Not Leaks and what he knew to Robert Muller what is going on with those two things in your mind so the first thing that comes to mind is my expectation of his qualified offer. Potentially offer written testimony was not something that he cleared with his lawyers and that his lawyers are going to be saying. Excuse me but we don't want to do that. Thank you Mr President. Well he didn't say he was GONNA do it. He said he he's thinking about exactly but I expect he's thinking about it without having first consulted Laura's because I don't think his lawyers lawyers would want him to be offering written testimony so I think that's more of a sort of a hypothetical offer than it is a real offer second second with respect to muller the the question and answer that has been raised as a possibility that the president offered false testimony before before Muller in his written statements relate to whether or not he recalled conversations between himself and members of his campaign who themselves may have. I've been interfacing with Ricky wikileaks or whether he had any direct contact with a representative of what of wikileaks. And the thing. I forgot to mention this. Roger Stone found guilty on Friday essentially of trying to sabotage congressional investigation With regard to to wikileaks right so so the lawyer in me says says if the question is asked did you have any contact with a representative of wikileaks. He can answer no to that. Because none of the people who allege allegedly told him anything about wikileaks I would definitely meet the term representative of wikileaks. If he had spoken he would have spoken to. Julian assange essentially For that question to be ally The way he answered now with requests with respect to the question of whether or not his failure to recall whether he had conversations with anyone on his campaign. Am Pain regulated. He he didn't say no he said I don't recall talking to anybody. Don't recall is what his answer was. And that's a smart legal answer and expectation Asian. Is that the documentation that was presented by the White House to Muller contains no indication that the president spoke to anybody on his campaign about wikileaks leaks and so he has the opportunity to come back and say well. Now you've refresh my recollection. Yes indeed I remember speaking to Roger Stone in the car and it was overheard by whomever so I think it's a very difficult prosecution to make. However the appearance that the president is unaware of his interest his own interest which he on on the campaign trail repeatedly touted wikileaks? I love wikileaks. We Russia if you're hearing me. Please release her emails. All is wikileaks. centric in a sense. It's SORTA strains credulity to that. He didn't remember this stuff. But as I said when you ask a lawyer whether or not. This is actionable as a law case case I think it's probably not what about this Offer so to speak that he would be willing to testify in Congress in the impeachment inquiry which actually got a laugh last week During one of the hearings when when Peter Welsh Congressman Walter Democrat brought it up and say you'd be most welcome to sit down is is that another one of these. Is the president just floating something for the sake of it. That almost certainly won't happen. What my recollection of that QNA was the Republicans skins. Were saying the person who has firsthand knowledge the whistle blower a person who they first accused of having only secondhand knowledge but now all of a sudden he has firsthand knowledge. They said the person that we want to hear most from whistle blower because he knows the most and then well said well actually the person who knows the most is the president and he's welcome here anytime he wants. And that's what the left in my expectation. Is that the the likelihood of the president showing up in person raising his right hand to swear to tell the truth before that committee Mitty is not likely. So you've told us about the importance in lawyering Somebody like president trump to give wiggle room in testimony. I don't recall Paul as opposed to I don't or as opposed to know We have somebody we have a real life example coming up with Gordon. Sunland who actually didn't recall recall Some very important things with regard to the impeachment inquiry he had his memory jogged at least one time and then subsequent to that we found out new information mation that About his call. You know the very loud telephone call in the Ukraine Ukrainian restaurant with President trump. So I I guess the question is. Is Somebody like that that in more legal jeopardy or in some sort of legal jeopardy for his the the way he addressed Congress and then had completely changed his story about whether or not there was some sort of ultimatum to the Koreans for military aid. Right so Saad. Lynn says I don't recall then. Other witnesses testified to his direct direct involvement in the thing that he didn't recall and then he corrects the record. And says that refresh my recollection. I now recall. And my testimony is consistent consistent with those others in respect of the homes. Telephone call that was overheard the alcs talked about. He was not really directly asked. That question didn't exactly Give a denial of of that call so he too has room now when he testifies again to elaborate on his prior testimony which I expect that he will do. I expect that he is not gonNa have memory failures like he did in the closed door testimony too much each other evidence out there which links him to this information that if he were to not recall under those circumstances it probably would be seen as a false statement achievement and you can falsely testify before Congress by inaccurately describing your memory as as being faulting so so just to wrap this up for everybody If in in congressional testimony don't say no and if you absolutely can avoid it I don't recall is a lot better. Because it's really hard to prosecute somebody for lying if they said I don't know because your memory can always be shocked. Yes with the qualification. In that there are prosecutions where individuals have said incredulously. They don't recall and that they were the prosecutors. Were able then and to present evidence to say that I don't recall was actually ally and you cannot therefore say with confidence. Just keep saying I don't recall I don't recall and you off the hook because at one point you're alleged failure of recollection is GonNa be tantamount to an affirmatively. I think what what we've done here is tumble into exactly the problem. That a lot of people have with Washington because this is making my head hurt Michael Alex thank you for joining me on the daily. DC The impeachment
