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.
