House Democrats are fast-tracking their impeachment inquiry - now focused on the Ukraine scandal and President Trump's conversation with that country's leader. Trump says he's the victim of a smear campaign orchestrated by Democrats and the "Deep State." The full Congress is on recess for two weeks, but the House Intelligence Committee plans interviews and hearings using the whistle-blower complaint as a road-map for the inquiry. Today's panel: Jackie Kucinich of The Daily Beast, Time's Molly Ball, Vivian Salama of the Wall Street Journal, and CNN's Manu Raju.

Impeachment momentum builds among House Democrats. Speaker Pelosi leads a big meeting this afternoon -- and several moderates who had been holdouts because of the politics back home say the President's conduct leaves them no choice. Plus, ridiculous is the president's answer to the impeachment drumbeat. But new reporting shows he ordered a hold on military aide to Ukraine just before pushing its president for dirt on Joe Biden. And Elizabeth Warren launches an early state TV ad blitz -- this as a new poll shows her atop the Democratic pack in New Hampshire. Yes, we just said the same thing the other day about Iowa. Today's Panel: Margaret Talev With Axios, Toluse Olorunnipa with The Washington Post, Heather Caygle with POLITICO, and Jackie Kucinich with The Daily Beast. Also on the Program: CNN's Nina Dos Santos, Manu Raju, and Jeff Zeleny

Oil prices are up and the Middle East is on edge following attacks on Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure. The Trump Administration blames Iran - and the President says the U.S. is locked and loaded. Plus, the recurring presidential credibility question: Aides rush to say "locked and loaded" doesn't necessarily mean a military response. And the President insists he never said something that he said clearly - on camera - and was then repeated by cabinet members. And nearly 50,000 auto workers in nine states go on strike. General Motors says it has made a fair offer, workers see it differently. Today's Panel: CNN's Kylie Atwood and Manu Raju, Jackie Kucinich with The Daily Beast, Rachael Bade with The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal's Michael Bender and Greg Ip. Also on the Program: CNN's MJ Lee, and Kalea Hall with The Detroit News

President Trump abruptly cancels a planned peace summit with the Taliban. His idea to invite the Al Qaeda allies to Camp David on the week of 9/11 causes a split in the administration -- and alarms key Conservatives in Congress. Plus, Congress is back from its summer break. Republicans want to know if the President is serious about new gun control legislation. Democrats are trying to balance a family debate about whether to stick to issues like guns and health care or move ahead with investigations and impeachment. And remember Valerie Plame? The ex-spy is now running for Congress -- and putting her CIA driving lessons to use in a new campaign video. Today's Panel: CNN's Abby Phillip, Carl Hulse with The New York Times, Matt Viser with The Washington Post and Jackie Kucinich with The Daily Beast. Also on the Program: CNN's Kylie Atwood, Manu Raju, and Jessica Schneider and Retired Rear Admiral John Kirby

Dorian makes landfall in North Carolina, causing more flooding and power outages as the Bahamas scrambles to deal with much more significant damage. Plus, the economy added 130,000 new jobs in August -- a solid headline for a report that that shows many signs of economic strength, but also warns some key sectors are stalling. And, the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees broaden their investigation into whether President Trump profits from government business after the Vice President stayed a Trump resort in Ireland.

Together yesterday -- divided today: House Democrats are unanimous in condemning President Trump's racist attacks on four minority women. But there is a big split in the Democratic Caucus today as one Liberal member forces a vote on an impeachment resolution. Plus, the President's constant efforts to stoke resentment over race and immigration was a big reason Republicans got crushed in the 2018 midterms, especially among suburban women. So why does he think it is the recipe for re-election success in 2020? And the House debate over the President's racist tweets was fiercely partisan -- and unruly. So much so the Congressman presiding over the debate got up and walked away. Today's Panel: Seung Min Kim with The Washington Post, Heather Caygle with POLITICO, Catherine Lucey with The Wall Street Journal, and Jackie Kucinich with The Daily Beast. Also on the Program: CNN's Manu Raju and Joan Biskupic, and Presidential Historian Tim Naftali.

On this week’s episode of Omnishambles, host Jackie Kucinich welcomes The Daily Beast’s White House reporter Asawin Suebsaeng, and our very first guest from the upper ranks of Trumpworld: Marc Short, President Donald Trump's former legislative affairs director and a current Miller Center senior fellow at the University of Virginia. On this episode, Marc talks about his experience working in the Trump White House, the advice he would give Republicans and Democrats today caught in the border-wall and immigration standoff, what "the administration should have done from the start," and why he believes Trump's emergency declaration is now all but an inevitability.

On this week’s episode of Omnishambles, host Jackie Kucinich welcomes The Daily Beast’s national-security reporter Erin Banco, as well as White House and Trumpworld reporter Asawin Suebsaeng. Erin breaks down the latest Donald Trump-Russia bombshells that detonated over the president's snowed-in weekend, and also offers up listeners a new, hot scoop: the ongoing government shutdown has led the Pompeo-era State Department officials to come into work to do little more than clean their offices—while literally still wearing their pajamas. Jackie and Swin also discuss their reporting on the latest shutdown bedlam self-inflicted by Trump and his team, including a scene from Friday morning (a particularly perfect metaphor for the state of play...) in which senior White House official Mercedes Schlapp urges Republicans on Capitol Hill to rebut Democratic chatter that a Trump national-emergency declaration is imminent—even though she conceded on the call that Trump's own senior staffers had no idea if such a declaration was imminent or not. Swin and Jackie also dig in on the racist rhetoric—and policy proposals—of Rep. Steve King, and how President Trump talks about the far-right, anti-immigrant congressman when he's not around. "Trump's immigration policy is basically in line with what Steve King has been pushing since the early 2000s," Jackie says. "He used to wheel...out a model of the wall, and have little barbed wire that he would lace through, and he would build it on the [House] floor," Jackie recounted of when she used to cover Rep. King years before Trumpism came along.

On this week’s episode of Omnishambles, hosts Jackie Kucinich and Sam Stein welcome The Daily Beast’s national-security and immigration reporter Betsy Woodruff and White House and Trumpworld correspondent Asawin Suebsaeng, the latter of whom Sam and Jackie failed to keep locked in a broom closet during podcast taping, eventually acquiescing to his pleas to get mic'd. On the issue of President Donald Trump's proposed big, beautiful, steel(?) wall, Betsy stopped by the show to discuss why the idiotic arguments on border security and immigration are not exclusively the domain of Team Trump and the right. Betsy also breaks down how the conversation of border barriers sounds behind the scenes and in the halls of places like the Department of Homeland Security, as opposed to how they sound splashed across cable news and @realDonaldTrump's frenetic Twitter. Sam asks the class if we may be headed for an endgame of a big, secret, invisible Trump wall. Swin ponders that liberals would still hate the "racism wall" if it were made of clay instead of steel or concrete.
