00:00Thank you, Leader.
00:01Congressman Thandard introduced seven articles of impeachment today against President Trump.
00:05Given that Dems are out with messaging on other fronts,
00:08is introducing articles of impeachment an effective way of messaging,
00:11given that the numbers are just not on your side right now in the House?
00:15I haven't talked to him about it.
00:19Sam just stole my impeachment question.
00:21Same answer.
00:22I will follow up.
00:24If leadership is not supporting those efforts, are you actively discouraging members introducing articles?
00:33This isn't the first member so far that has said they would introduce articles.
00:38I haven't said one way or the other.
00:39I haven't evaluated the articles that were introduced.
00:43I haven't even had an opportunity to talk with him about it.
