1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio, 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: House speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced the formalization of an 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: impeachment in Corry into President Donald Trump, saying the President 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: must be held accountable for his betrayal of his oath 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: of office, betrayal of our national security, and the betrayal 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 1: of the integrity of our elections. Pelosi specifically charged that 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: the administration had violated the law by not turning over 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: a whistleblower complaint concerning President Trump's July call with the 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Zelenski, citing testimony that the Director of National 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: Intelligence was blocking the release of the complaint. She said 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: this is a violation of the law. The President apparently 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: pushed Zelenski to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: his son Hunter. The President vowed to release a complete 14 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: transcript of his call, though it's unlikely to settle the 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: issue in Congress. First, let's go with Howard Bloom, the 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: author of The Global Brain. Your take on this situation, Well, 17 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: there's no impartiality here. The Democrats and the Republicans are 18 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: living in two separate worlds. Let's change that. The Trump followers. 19 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: Because that's not all Republicans and the world of Trump. 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: Democrats have been out to get poor Donald ever since 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: he declared his candidacy. They have mounted what Trump calls 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: the greatest and most destructive witch hunt of all time. 23 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: President Barack Obama and his team, according to this view, 24 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: used the FBI to spy on Trump in early twenty sixteen. 25 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: They concocted a phony story about Trump and Russia. Now 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: they are concocting another phony story about an intelligence community 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: whistleblower and an alleged Trump attempt to coerce the new 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: president of the Ukraine, digging up dirt on Joe Biden 29 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: and his son Hunter, and Hunter was on the board 30 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: of Ukrainian oil company. The real criminals here, says Trump, 31 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: are Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. But according to the Trumps, 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: all these Democratic dirty deeds are a part of a coup, 33 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: an attempt to undo the result. So the two sixteen 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: election an attempt to undo the will of the people. 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: As the Tea Party supporters of Trump's theat by harassing 36 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, the Democrats are committing treason. Then there's the 37 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: democratic view. Things look very different from the democratic point 38 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: of view, Donald Trump has committed at least half a 39 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: dozen crimes, according to the Democrats, until late this afternoon, 40 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: he refused to turn over the complaint of the whistleblower 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: to Congress, a criminal act, an act that violates the law. 42 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: Trump has violated the Emolument's clause of the Constitution by 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: hosting foreign delegates at his hotels and making it clear 44 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: that those who spend the most money in his commercial 45 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: empire will get the most favored treatment. This is bribery. 46 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: Trump took an oath to uphold the Constitution, according to 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: the Democratic view, but he has violated the constitution separation 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: of powers. He has trampled on Congress's power of the 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: purse by redirecting three point six billion dollars that Congress 50 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: clearly allocated for the military to his border wall. Trump 51 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: has tried to cripple congresses constitutional powers of oversight by 52 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: refusing to allow the members of his administration who have 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: been called to testify to appear, or, in the case 54 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: of Corey Lewandowski this week, by instructing Trump our Trump 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: Team member to literally show as much contempt for Congress 56 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: as he possibly can. Contempt of Congress is punishable by 57 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: jail time. But that's not all. Trump has broken the 58 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: law that says a candidate cannot accept things of value 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: from foreigners for a campaign. Trump built his entire two 60 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: sixteen campaign around a Russian gift Hillary Clinton's emails, then 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: openly encourage the Russians to reveal more of them. But 62 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: that's not all. Trump's Republican Party has rigged the American 63 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: electoral system so that a Republican candidate that gets a 64 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: mere forty eight percent of the vote can beat a 65 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: Democratic candidate who gets fifty two percent. Donald Trump's election 66 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: does not, according to the Democrats, represent the will of 67 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: the people. Far from it. Trump lost the election to 68 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton by three million votes. Yea the electoral college. Yes, 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: he won the electoral college. But Trump's We could say 70 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: that Trump's election, at least in the number crad of view, 71 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: is a violation of the people's will. And there's more. 72 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump lies, He gives false witness, roughly a half 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: of do them. So let me ask you, do you 74 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: think that since impeachment inquiry is warranted? Yes or no? Yes, 75 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: I think it's very much needed. All right, now, let's 76 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: get the views of doctor John Curtis Online columnists dot Com. John, 77 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: go ahead, Well, I mean Nancy Pelosi said today, and 78 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: we have to believe her. This is not political. Oh, 79 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: it's not political. When the Muther Report basically vindicated Trump, 80 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, on March twenty third, the Democrat fantasy of 81 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: impeaching Trump went bust. But what did they do instead? 82 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: What they did was they sent Gerald Nadler House, you know, 83 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee chairman. They sent Adam Ship on another witch 84 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: hunt to pick, to cherry pick anything they could find 85 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: out of the Muther report to prove the Trump obstructive justice. Well, 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: what happened now is that they have their smoking gun, 87 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: or they think they do. But isn't it jumping the 88 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: gun a little bit not even knowing what the transcript is. 89 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: You talk about a rush to judgment right now, where 90 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: the Pelosi has been under massive pressure from the Quad Squad, 91 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: especially AOC who essentially said two days ago that the 92 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: biggest scandal of all is not Trump's misdeeds, not his 93 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: law breaking, but it's why the Democrat Party has not 94 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: impeached him. So finally they're getting what they want right now, 95 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: which is to throw as much mud on Trump. And 96 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: this was always the Democrat plan throw as much mud 97 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: on him as they can between now and the election, 98 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: hope that it sticks and they can prevent him from 99 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: a second term. But you know, these are serious charges. 100 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: If the transcript reveals, George, that Trump did try to 101 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: coerce Ukrainian president into investigating the Bidens in exchange for 102 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty million dollars in military aid, and 103 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: I think they've got a case, and they got a case. 104 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: I do, I do. We'll find out what happens, all right, John, 105 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: Thank you, John, John Curtis online COLUMNUS dot com.
