IMPEACHING DONALD JOHN TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR HIGH
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS
______
speech of
HON. JOHN B. LARSON
of connecticut
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, December 18, 2019
Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Madam Speaker, I would like to include in
the Record two episodes of Pardon Me--Another Damn Impeachment Show?, a
radio show hosted by Colin McEnroe of WNPR. I found these programs to
be extremely enlightening and informative. I believe they should help
Americans be better informed on this issue.
Pardon Me--Another Damn Impeachment Show?: ``A Heartbreaking Work of
Staggering Impeachment With Dave Eggers and More'' & ``Adam Gopnik:
Stop Saying Impeachment Is Political''
(Connecticut Public Radio)
a heartbreaking work of staggering impeachment with dave eggers and
more
Colin McEnroe: When we first started to think about doing a
podcast called, ``Pardon Me (Another Damn Impeachment
Show?),'' one of the things we agreed that we would do is not
just talk to political pundits and law school professors and
people like that, but explore how the culture responds to
something as engulfing as an impeachment process, and then we
had a chance to talk to Dave Eggers. Dave Eggers is, of
course, the legendary writer and creator and editor and lots
of other things and kind of an activist and also a guy who,
as a journalist, and you'll hear a little bit about this,
traveled around during the 2016 campaign going to a lot of
Donald Trump rallies trying to understand and empathize with
the people who were excited by the prospect of a President
Donald Trump. . . .

Adam Gopnik: Stop Saying Impeachment Is Political
Colin McEnroe: Hi. You're listening to kind of a little
extra we're doing for you. Adam Gopnik, from The New Yorker.
See, I'll get in trouble if I say this, but he might be the
smartest person I know. I mean, there's probably a lot of
other people who think they're the smartest person that I
know, but you know it might be Gopnik. I mean you can't sneak
anything by him, he's really that smart. And when we first
started thinking about doing a very special series of shows
about the impeachment process, he was one of the first people
who popped into my head because Adam's already always doing
what we like to do, which is thinking about politics and
governance but melding it with his very keen understanding of
history and his sense of how culture works.
I mean there was no way we weren't going to do a
conversation with him. So we got him. He's also now, you know
a guy he's got a pull playwriting thing going on so I think
he was like running back from a rehearsal or something like
that to the NPR studios in New York to talk to us. So if he
sounds a little out of breath, that's why. But he's never out
of ideas. So let's go. Adam Gopnik. We're so excited as part
of the show to have someone who has joined our regular show
many times.
