Speaker 1: You're listening to comedy Central impeachments.
Speaker 2: It's the constitutional way of saying, by Felicia.
Speaker 3: That's probably presidential harassment.
Speaker 4: President Trump has been accused of threatening to hold back
Speaker 4: military aid to the Ukraine if leaders there failed to
Speaker 4: investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
Speaker 5: The President pushed eight times for an investigation into Joe
Speaker 5: Biden at the time of the call, that Trump administration
Speaker 5: was withholding two hundred and fifty million dollars in military
Speaker 5: aid to Ukraine that Congress had already approved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is huge.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is accused of holding back military aid approved
Speaker 2: by Congress for Ukraine unless they helped him dig up
Speaker 2: dirts on Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Which, if true, would be devastating.
Speaker 2: It's an abuse of power, it's extortion and maybe worst
Speaker 2: of all, asking a foreign country to middle in America's election. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is the one thing that if you were Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: you should stay.
Speaker 1: Away from, right, because they had just beaten the Russia case.
Speaker 2: It would be like if the day after Michael Jackson
Speaker 2: got a quitted up touching kids, he.
Speaker 1: Was like, let's celebrate some slumber party at my hand.
Speaker 2: Of the one silver liner of any Trump scandal is
Speaker 2: that if you just wait long enough, eventually he'll just
Speaker 2: spool the beans himself.
Speaker 6: The conversation I had was largely congratulatory with largely corruption.
Speaker 6: All of the corruption picking play were largely the fact
Speaker 6: that we don't want our people like Vice President Biden
Speaker 6: has done creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine.
Speaker 7: There was no pressure put on them whatsoever. But there
Speaker 7: was pressure put on with respect to Joe Biden. What
Speaker 7: Joe Biden did for his son, that's something they should
Speaker 7: be looking at.
Speaker 1: We all heard that right.
Speaker 2: Trump has said there was no pressure except for the
Speaker 2: pressure to get dirt on Biden. That's the only pressure
Speaker 2: we're talking about. On Monday, the Ukraine scandal blew up.
Speaker 2: On Tuesday, the Democrats opened an impeachment inquiry. On Wednesday,
Speaker 2: the transcript of the call came out, and today the
Speaker 2: big news is that the secret whistleblower complaint that kicked
Speaker 2: this whole thing off has finally been released.
Speaker 8: The House Intelligence Committee has just released the whistleblower complaint.
Speaker 8: This is the second paragraph of that complaint from the whistleblower,
Speaker 8: who says, in the course of my official duties, I
Speaker 8: have received information from multiple US government officials that the
Speaker 8: President of the United States is using the power of
Speaker 8: his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in
Speaker 8: the twenty twenty US election.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: The whistleblower's complaint has accused the president of soliciting foreign
Speaker 2: interference in America's election, which is really bad for Trump.
Speaker 2: What's even worse is that this entire complaint is only
Speaker 2: nine page is long, which means people might actually read it. Hell,
Speaker 2: if it had a few pictures, Trump himself might even
Speaker 2: read it. Trump and his defenders are saying that the
Speaker 2: whistleblowers a count as fake all right, because they say
Speaker 2: that the whistleblower is basing all of this on secondhand information,
Speaker 2: he didn't hear the cause and he hasn't seen anything himself.
Speaker 2: They also point out that the president of Ukraine himself
Speaker 2: said yesterday that he never felt any pressure from Trump,
Speaker 2: although if you actually watched the Ukrainian president say it,
Speaker 2: you might come up with a different impression.
Speaker 9: If he felt any count from President comp to investigate
Speaker 9: Joe Biden and under Biden.
Speaker 10: I think you read everything, so I think you read texts.
Speaker 1: I I'm sorry, but I.
Speaker 2: Don't want to be involved to democratic open Elections of USA.
Speaker 1: No, you're here. That we had I think, good cool,
Speaker 1: he was normal. We spoke about.
Speaker 10: Many scenes, and so I think and you read it
Speaker 10: that nobody pushed it pushed me.
Speaker 11: Yes, no pressure, Okay, okay, I don't want to contradict
Speaker 11: the president, but I don't think the translation of that
Speaker 11: was no pressure.
Speaker 2: That man seemed like he was under intense pressure. I
Speaker 2: mean he actually said that I don't want to get involved.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not a comfortable phrase you ever say
Speaker 2: when you're just comfortable.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling? I don't want to get involved?
Speaker 1: That's so comfortable.
Speaker 2: You can ask him that question in front of Trump.
Speaker 2: It's like asking the hostage how he's being treated while
Speaker 2: the kidnapper is right next to him. How are they
Speaker 2: treating me? Oh it's it's amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh. Last night they even gave me toilet paper.
Speaker 1: I love it here.
Speaker 2: The big news today is that the White House has
Speaker 2: taken its fight with Congress to the next level, officially
Speaker 2: sending word that it will not participate in any aspect
Speaker 2: of the impeachment probe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is crazy, Like Trump can't.
Speaker 2: Just declined to participate, Like this is not the Vietnam War,
Speaker 2: and this new tactic, this new tactic threw everything for
Speaker 2: a loop, because you see, today was meant to be
Speaker 2: the big day when Congress would hear testimony from Gordon Sundland,
Speaker 2: Ambassador to the EU, and Jeff ros Stunt double. But
Speaker 2: just before the CSPAN camera started rolling, the White House
Speaker 2: pulled the plug.
Speaker 12: We'll following breaking news this morning, and it's moving quickly.
Speaker 12: The White House blocking EU Ambassador Gordon Sunland from testifying
Speaker 12: to Congress just minutes before he was supposed to appear
Speaker 12: on Capitol Hill. He was set to testify behind closed
Speaker 12: doors as part of an ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Trump,
Speaker 12: specifically about his interactions with Ukraine. Democratic House Intelligence Chairman
Speaker 12: calling the move to keep Sunlance from speaking, the lawmakers
Speaker 12: quote strong evidence of obstruction at the.
Speaker 2: President's behest and pulled out of this impeachment hearing, which
Speaker 2: is a big deal because although many people haven't heard
Speaker 2: of Gordon SONLND, it appears that everything Trump wanted from
Speaker 2: Ukraine went through him.
Speaker 13: Even before President Trump spoke to the President of Ukraine,
Speaker 13: Gordon Sondland, the US Ambassador to the EU, had been
Speaker 13: pushing the Ukrainians to commit to investigations mister Trump wanted.
Speaker 2: And the reason Congress is so intense on having son
Speaker 2: and testify isn't just because he was at the centre
Speaker 2: of the Ukraine scandal, right, It's also because he has
Speaker 2: text messages that show what was going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 14: Text messages given to Congress show Sundland and another diplomat
Speaker 14: discussing a possible link between investigations and aid to Ukraine.
Speaker 15: On September ninth, Bill Taylor, the top US diplomat to Ukraine, texts,
Speaker 15: I think it's crazy to withhold security assistants for help
Speaker 15: with a political campaign. Sonlid responds, I believe you were
Speaker 15: incorrect about President Trump's intentions. The president has been Chris
Speaker 15: still clear. No quit pro quos of any kind, adding
Speaker 15: I suggest we stop the back and forth by text.
Speaker 14: Taylor text Gordon Somlin. Are we now saying that security
Speaker 14: assistants and White House meeting are conditioned on investigations?
Speaker 15: Someone responds, call me.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't know if these guys are guilty or not,
Speaker 2: but you have to admit those texts look hella suspicious. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because the only time you say stop texting let's talk
Speaker 2: on the phone. Is when something shady's going down, right,
Speaker 2: It's twenty nineteen. No one talks on the phone. The
Speaker 2: only reason to talk on the phone at all is
Speaker 2: to wish your grandmother a happy birthday, or to commit crimes,
Speaker 2: or to commit crimes with.
Speaker 1: Your grandmother on her birthday.
Speaker 2: Now, for the first day of the public hearings, the
Speaker 2: Democrats chose to call two witnesses, Bill Taylor, the acting
Speaker 2: ambassador to Ukraine, and George Kept, senior State Department official
Speaker 2: and townsperson in the nineteen fifties musical.
Speaker 16: Once I arroved in Kiev, I discovered a weird combination
Speaker 16: of encouraging, confusing, and ultimately alarming circumstances. According to mister Morrison,
Speaker 16: president Trump did insist that President Zelensky go to a
Speaker 16: microphone and say he is opening investigations of Biden and
Speaker 16: twenty sixteen election interference. Ambassador Somlon tried to explain to
Speaker 16: me that President Trump is a businessman. When a businessman
Speaker 16: is about to sign a check to someone who owes
Speaker 16: him something, the businessman asked that person to pay up
Speaker 16: before signing the check. I think it's crazy to withhold
Speaker 16: security assistance for help with the political campaign.
Speaker 2: What did you mean when you said you thought it
Speaker 2: was crazy?
Speaker 16: It was illogical, It could not be explained. It was crazy.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, unexplainable, illogical crazy. That's the description Bill Taylor gave
Speaker 2: of Trump's actions. It's also the title of Trump's new memoir,
Speaker 2: Same thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's my full story, and it's a coloring book, folks.
Speaker 1: You gotta love it.
Speaker 2: What it was congres When Jim Jordan's turn to ask questions,
Speaker 2: his big arguments was that none of this testimony should
Speaker 2: count because it was all a game of telephone.
Speaker 17: You weren't on the call, were you the president? You
Speaker 17: didn't listen on President Trump's call and Presidentlessy's call. I
Speaker 17: did not. You never talked with Chief of Staff Maulvany,
Speaker 17: I never did. You never met the president. That's correct.
Speaker 17: This is what I can't believe. And you're their star witness,
Speaker 17: you're their first witness.
Speaker 1: You're the guy.
Speaker 17: You're the guy based on this, based on I mean,
Speaker 17: I've seen I've seen church prayer change that are easier
Speaker 17: to understand than this.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Good point, Jim Jordan.
Speaker 2: These guys don't have firsthand knowledge of what Trump was
Speaker 2: doing with Ukraine.
Speaker 1: So why are they the ones testifying.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's because the White House has blocked
Speaker 2: all the people who do have firsthand knowledge from testifying.
Speaker 1: That's a good point, Tramper, that's a good fine, thank
Speaker 1: you me.
Speaker 2: All of today, Jim Jordan's only focus was making it
Speaker 2: seem like this entire process was somehow a sham. But
Speaker 2: it all backfired when he tried to turn the focus
Speaker 2: to the whistleblower.
Speaker 17: Now there is one witness, one witness that they won't
Speaker 17: bring in front of us, they won't bring in front
Speaker 17: of the American people, and that's the guy who started it all,
Speaker 17: the whistleblower. Nope, I say to my colleague, I'd be
Speaker 17: glad to have the person who started it all come
Speaker 17: in and testify. President Trump is welcome to take a
Speaker 17: seat right there.
Speaker 2: This congressional hearing was filmed in front of a live
Speaker 2: studio audience, you know, by congress standards, that was a
Speaker 2: pretty good slam.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The only way it could have been better is if
Speaker 2: the congressman was like, seriously, President Trump is welcome anytime.
Speaker 1: In fact, I've actually got his invite right here.
Speaker 2: Man man, Man, Man Man, and This testimony was a
Speaker 2: pretty big deal because for the first time the American
Speaker 2: public heard from non partisan officials about how the president
Speaker 2: abused his powers for personal gain. And even though millions
Speaker 2: of people I mean talking about these hearings over on
Speaker 2: Fox News, their analysis of this impeachment is man. There
Speaker 2: is not a single person outside the Washington, DC beltway
Speaker 2: that gives a damn about what happened today.
Speaker 1: It's boring, the total snooze fest. It was kind of
Speaker 1: boring to watch on television. It was really just a
Speaker 1: huge dut. There wasn't anything sexy about it.
Speaker 18: There was not some big new piece of information that
Speaker 18: came out.
Speaker 19: With Richard Nixon, there was a break in with Bill Clinton,
Speaker 19: there was sex in the Oval office.
Speaker 1: Yeah. With Trump, it's a phone call to Ukraine.
Speaker 20: There's no burglary, there's no break in, there's no tapes,
Speaker 20: there's no dress, there's no sex.
Speaker 1: It's not a sexy scandal. Russia was sexy. This has
Speaker 1: no intrigue whatsoever. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2: You're saying Trump's impeachment is boring and unsexy. You know,
Speaker 2: if Trump hears that, it's gonna piss him off, right,
Speaker 2: He's gonna come.
Speaker 1: Out like my engagement will be the most exciting ever.
Speaker 2: I'll break into a hotel and best believe I'll just
Speaker 2: all over this dress.
Speaker 1: Don't make me do it. Don't make me do it, Aging.
Speaker 21: Trevor.
Speaker 22: This whole thing has me so mad. Look, if these
Speaker 22: allegations are true, then our president, and forgive me for
Speaker 22: using the N word. Here is a complete nincome poop.
Speaker 1: Oh, you have me nervous for a second. Yeah, I agree,
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: I think everyone is angry that the president abused his
Speaker 2: power like this.
Speaker 22: Okay, take it easy, madau. I'm mad because our dim
Speaker 22: shit president can't even get impeached. Right, he's wasting his
Speaker 22: one impeachment on taking down Joe Biden. Joe Biden will
Speaker 22: take down Joe Biden. The guy's already gaffed himself out
Speaker 22: of two elections. Look, when it comes to Biden, all
Speaker 22: you have to do is just wait it out and
Speaker 22: go away. You know, he's like a cold or my
Speaker 22: parole officer.
Speaker 1: That guy is so obsessed with me. Actually, I think
Speaker 1: that's legal. So wait, DESI, you don't think Trump abused
Speaker 1: his power?
Speaker 22: Well no, if anything, he didn't abuse it enough. Look,
Speaker 22: you only get one impeachment, you gotta make it count.
Speaker 22: Presidents used to understand that. Andrew Johnson defied Congress Richard
Speaker 22: Nixon had the Saturday Night massacre. Bill Clinton got a
Speaker 22: bj in the Oval Office head mouth candy, the old
Speaker 22: pac Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I get it. Okay, okay.
Speaker 22: My point is Trevor Trump has blown it. He might
Speaker 22: get impeached for gossiping on the phone like a little bit.
Speaker 2: During the impeachment hearings last week, you may remember we
Speaker 2: learned about a call at a restaurant between Trump and
Speaker 2: an EU ambassador Gordon s Well. Now a diplomat who
Speaker 2: overheard that call is spilling all the beans to Congress.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 23: While Ambassador Sonland's phone was not on speakerphone, I could
Speaker 23: hear the President's voice through the earpiece of the phone.
Speaker 23: I then heard President Trump ask so he's going to
Speaker 23: do the investigation. Ambassador sonlnd replied that he's going to
Speaker 23: do it, adding the President Zelenski will do anything you
Speaker 23: ask him to. President's voice was very loud and recognizable,
Speaker 23: and Ambassador Sonln held the phone away from his ear
Speaker 23: for a period of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, David Holmes testified to Congress that he
Speaker 2: overheard a call where Trump explicitly asked for Ukraine to
Speaker 2: dig up to it on. Joe Biden and the diplomat
Speaker 2: overheard this conversation not because Trump was on speakerphone, but
Speaker 2: because Trump is a human speakerphone and he's like, I'm
Speaker 2: calling about the criminal conspiracy.
Speaker 1: You know what, I can't hear you. Let's stress the speaker.
Speaker 2: I'm calling about the criminal day. There are a lot
Speaker 2: of damning details in this testimony, but my favorite part.
Speaker 2: My favorite part was when Sonland talked about just how
Speaker 2: much the President of Ukraine was willing to help Trump.
Speaker 23: I heard President Trump then clarify Ambassador Sonlon was in Ukraine.
Speaker 23: Ambassador Sonlon replied, yes, he was in Ukraine went on
Speaker 23: to state President Zelensky loves your ass.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, Zelensky loves Trump's ass. A few days ago,
Speaker 2: Fox and US was saying impeachment wasn't sexy enough.
Speaker 1: Now we got ass played.
Speaker 2: This morning, impeachment took yet another major step forward when
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi speak of the House and sober Lucille Bluth
Speaker 2: gathered up all the flags she could find for a
Speaker 2: major announcement.
Speaker 12: Tound speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing to the country and to
Speaker 12: the world that articles of impeachment against President Trump will proceed.
Speaker 12: Pelosi telling the American people that Trump has left the
Speaker 12: US Congress with no choice but to move forward.
Speaker 24: Sadly. That was confidence and humility, with allegiance to our
Speaker 24: founders and a heart full of love for America. Today,
Speaker 24: I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. They
Speaker 1: finally proposed articles of impeachment. I mean, I knew when
Speaker 1: they reserved that hearing room that this would be it.
Speaker 2: But you never know until it really happens.
Speaker 1: I'm like, god, I'm so happy for you guys.
Speaker 2: And I know this sounds weird, but I'm actually proud
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. Yeah, because he's getting impeached, but I
Speaker 2: didn't think he would make it three years.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: Like Trump getting this far into his presidency without being
Speaker 2: impeached is a lot like when a dog accidentally drives
Speaker 2: a car into a tree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dog crashed, but he made it like eight blocks.
Speaker 1: That's impressive. I don't even know how he put it
Speaker 1: into drive. He barely knows letters now There was a
Speaker 1: big debate.
Speaker 2: Within the Democratic Party about how many articles of impeachment
Speaker 2: to bring against Donald Trump, but in the end they
Speaker 2: decided to strike with surgical precision.
Speaker 25: President Trump now facing two charges, as the top Democrats
Speaker 25: of the key committees stood together to announce it all
Speaker 25: this morning, Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Speaker 9: Democrats have decided to narrow the scope of impeachment to
Speaker 9: the two articles of impeachment that they believe are the
Speaker 9: easiest to prove and backed up by the most evidence.
Speaker 4: Because we are operating in a universe where Republicans are
Speaker 4: challenging some of the most basic facts, Democrats want to
Speaker 4: make this case as airtight as possible.
Speaker 2: Yes, only two articles of impeachments, abuse of power and
Speaker 2: obstruction of Congress, which means the Democrats are showing a
Speaker 2: lot of restraint because I mean, let's be honest, Trump
Speaker 2: has done enough crazy shit to Marrit two thousand articles
Speaker 2: of impeachments. Yeah, there was obstruction of justice from the
Speaker 2: Mola report, using the presidency to enrich his businesses, the
Speaker 2: porn star payoffs, flag molestation, the time he looked directly
Speaker 2: into an eclipse, and of course having done Junior I mean,
Speaker 2: that's impeachment on its own.
Speaker 26: So so the good news for Trump is that he's
Speaker 26: only facing two charges, although in a way that's also
Speaker 26: kind of sad for him because Nixon had three.
Speaker 2: Articles wrote against him, Bill Clinton had four, and Andrew
Speaker 2: Johnson had eleven, which means Trump will have the smallest
Speaker 2: impeachments of all time.
Speaker 1: You know, that's gonna make him insecure. It's gonna be like,
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 10: About the size of impeachment, it's about the friction of
Speaker 10: the convention.
Speaker 8: President Trump said, to become the third president in American
Speaker 8: history to be impeached.
Speaker 27: This is a moment that will go down in history.
Speaker 27: This will be written about in the history books.
Speaker 4: This is going to go down in the history books.
Speaker 2: The forty fifth president of the United States got impeached. Well,
Speaker 2: you guys might be cheering, but when Democrats in the
Speaker 2: House tried to cheer last night, Nancy Pelosi shut it
Speaker 2: down real fast.
Speaker 28: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi maintaining control of her caucus with
Speaker 28: a glance and a gesture alone at one point yesterday.
Speaker 29: On this thoughte, the Ya's are two hundred and thirty.
Speaker 29: The na's are one ninety seven. Present is one article.
Speaker 29: One is adopted.
Speaker 2: Damn Nancy didn't want to hear any gloating last night.
Speaker 2: She killed that celebration, guid Did you see that that
Speaker 2: kind of look would send the champagne cock back into
Speaker 2: the bottle?
Speaker 1: That that's how intense I was. They were like poop whoop.
Speaker 2: So there's no doubt that impeachment will hurt Trump's legacy bigly,
Speaker 2: but it also seems like it's hurting his feelings.
Speaker 21: President Trump incensed, lashing out in a scathing six page
Speaker 21: letter to the House Speaker, calling the teachment process outlined
Speaker 21: by the Constitution an illegal, partisan attempted coup.
Speaker 30: He's just fired off a tweet. Can you believe that
Speaker 30: I will be impeached today by the radical left? Do
Speaker 30: nothing Democrats? And I did nothing wrong? A terrible thing.
Speaker 30: Read the transcripts. This should never happen to another president again,
Speaker 30: Say a prayer?
Speaker 1: No, Is it just me?
Speaker 2: Or does it seem like? Trump went through all the
Speaker 2: stages of grief in one tweet? It was like denial,
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm getting impeached, Anga, I did nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: Depression, this is a terrible thing. Acceptance. I guess we
Speaker 1: can only pray.
Speaker 2: You may remember that after Trump was impeached back in December,
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi didn't post the obstacles.
Speaker 1: On to the Senate.
Speaker 2: Instead, she chose to hold onto them, tight, tight, to them.
Speaker 2: Mike Pency's sphinx in a room with two women. Yeah,
Speaker 2: temptation often passes through the back door. But today, after
Speaker 2: a month of tension, Pelosi finally announced she's handing the
Speaker 2: articles over to the Senates so that they can hold
Speaker 2: the trial. And I don't know what was going on
Speaker 2: with Nancy today, but at her press conference she seemed
Speaker 2: a little spaced out.
Speaker 29: Good morning, everyone, This is a very important day for us.
Speaker 29: And as you know, I reference temporal markers that our
Speaker 29: founders and our poets and others have used over time
Speaker 29: to place us in time, to emphasize the importance of time,
Speaker 29: because everything is about time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And speaking of timing, it feels like Pelosi's edibles
Speaker 2: just kicked in at the wrong moment there. I think
Speaker 2: the point Pelosi was trying to make is that she
Speaker 2: feels that after a month of waiting, now is the
Speaker 2: right time to pass impeachment to the Senates. But handing
Speaker 2: over the articles of impeachment isn't as simple as handing
Speaker 2: over your mom to a nursing home. No, an occasion
Speaker 2: like this calls for a little ceremony.
Speaker 31: They are going to be marching the articles from the
Speaker 31: House Chamber through the Statuary Hall, through the Rotunda, along
Speaker 31: the second floor of the Capitol, past the old Senate Chamber,
Speaker 31: through the Ohio Clock Corridor, and then eventually to the
Speaker 31: Senate Chamber.
Speaker 20: Those documents now are being taken from the House of
Speaker 20: Representatives through Statuary Hall. They'll be going into the Capital
Speaker 20: Rotunda to the Senate to present the articles of impeachment.
Speaker 32: Mister President, I have been directed by the House of
Speaker 32: Representatives to inform the Senate. The House has passed HS
Speaker 32: seven nine eight, a resolution appointing and authorizing managers for
Speaker 32: the impeachment trial of Donald John Trump, President of the
Speaker 32: United States.
Speaker 2: So we're all just going to pretend nobody invents an email.
Speaker 2: Just as an aside, what was up with that graphic?
Speaker 2: What was that from the news come. We don't need
Speaker 2: to see an arrow making love to the Senate Chamber
Speaker 2: to understand how people enter a room. They're walking across
Speaker 2: the building. It's a straight line, it's a whole way
Speaker 2: we get it.
Speaker 1: So now.
Speaker 2: So, now that the Senate has the articles of impeachment,
Speaker 2: the big fights is now going to be about whether
Speaker 2: or not the trial will include new witnesses and new evidence,
Speaker 2: because you see, just yesterday we learned new details about
Speaker 2: Trump and his shady dealings with Ukraine.
Speaker 33: The new evidence collected by congressional investigators comes from Lev
Speaker 33: Parnas and associate of Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. Fifty
Speaker 33: nine pages of records, including text messages, emails, and handwritten notes,
Speaker 33: including one scrawled on hotel stationary that reads, quote get
Speaker 33: Zelensky to announce that the Biden case will be investigated.
Speaker 33: And there's a letter from Giuliani requesting a meeting with
Speaker 33: Ukraine's then president elect Zelensky, emphasizing Giuliani was working in
Speaker 33: his capacity as personal counsel to President Trump and with
Speaker 33: his knowledge and consent.
Speaker 2: No, seriously, they wrote down the plot of their crime
Speaker 2: and then kept it.
Speaker 1: That is a literal paper trail. Why would you do that?
Speaker 1: What were they just hanging around?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 1: You have to keep the receipts, Like, isn't that taxes? No, No,
Speaker 1: it's for crimes too. You have to keep them.
Speaker 2: Only Donald Trump would hire henchmen who are also into scrapbooking,
Speaker 2: like they're like a bunch of criminal Martha Stewarts, you know,
Speaker 2: also known as Martha Stewart's. Trump's impeachment trial is set
Speaker 2: to begin next week, and as with any impeachment trial,
Speaker 2: the Senate will serve as the jury. So this afternoon,
Speaker 2: all the senators were sworn in by Supreme Court Chief
Speaker 2: Justice John Roberts, and then they signed their names one
Speaker 2: by one in what's known as the oath Book. Was
Speaker 2: a really solemn moment and also the first time ever
Speaker 2: that anyone's ever asked for Ted Cruiser's autograph. Now, the
Speaker 2: one big question hanging over this trial has been will
Speaker 2: publican sentences allow new witnesses to testify? Well, apparently some
Speaker 2: of those witnesses aren't waiting to find out. Which is
Speaker 2: showing up on TV right and the conversation everyone's talking
Speaker 2: about right now is Rachel Maddow's interview with Lev Parnas,
Speaker 2: an associate of Rudy Giuliani and a man with seven
Speaker 2: different hairstyles all at once. Now, Parnas is important because,
Speaker 2: unlike some previous witnesses who only heard about what was
Speaker 2: going on. He claims that he was working closely with
Speaker 2: Rudy Giuliani to get dirt on the Bidens. So if
Speaker 2: those other people smelled the borshe he actually made it.
Speaker 2: And now he's telling all of America how it went down.
Speaker 34: President Trump knew exactly what was going on. He was
Speaker 34: aware of all my movements. I wouldn't do anything without
Speaker 34: the consent of Rudy Giuliani or the President.
Speaker 35: Are you saying specifically, and I want to sort of
Speaker 35: drill down on that that the President was aware that
Speaker 35: you and mister Giuliani were working on this effort in
Speaker 35: Ukraine to basically try to hurt Joe Biden's political career.
Speaker 1: He knows about that.
Speaker 34: Yeah, well, it was observed about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden.
Speaker 34: It was never about the corruption. It was never was
Speaker 34: strictly about the barisma, which included Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: That's a big deal coming from Rudy Giuliani's right hand man.
Speaker 2: This would be like if Luigi went on Rachel Maddow
Speaker 2: Like Mario doesn't care about the princess.
Speaker 1: He just a laugh to murder Tarteles. He wants to
Speaker 1: kill all of them. He's a very sick man. It'll
Speaker 1: be huge. Now.
Speaker 2: Now the White House, the White House has responded to
Speaker 2: this interview saying that pon Us is a liar. They
Speaker 2: say he's only saying this because he's been indicted for
Speaker 2: campaign finance fraud, and so now he's trying to get
Speaker 2: a light of sentence like a Ukrainian Takashi six nine.
Speaker 2: And Trump has gone one step further, saying that he
Speaker 2: doesn't even know what a left par Us is, much
Speaker 2: less that he gave him instructions to get dirt on
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, to which pawn Us is now responding picks
Speaker 2: it did happen.
Speaker 36: The President of the United States said he didn't know you.
Speaker 1: I don't know those gentlemen.
Speaker 7: Now as possible, I have a picture with him, because
Speaker 7: I have a picture with everybody, I don't know them.
Speaker 34: I welcome him to say that even more. Every time
Speaker 34: he says that I'll show him another picture, he's lying.
Speaker 34: He's lying.
Speaker 2: I hope when Parnas does release the pictures, they just
Speaker 2: get steadily more incriminating. You know, it'll be funny for
Speaker 2: like at first they just had a party together, you know,
Speaker 2: then the next picture they're riding together on Space Mountain.
Speaker 2: Then eventually, like all pictures will just end up with nudes.
Speaker 2: You know, that's where it's gonna go. Yeah, and Trump
Speaker 2: will be like.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean anything. I take nudes with everyone. So
Speaker 1: many news. So, the third.
Speaker 2: Presidential impeachment trial in American history began today, and because
Speaker 2: impeachment is such a momentous occasion, the Senate had to
Speaker 2: kick things off with a formal proclamation.
Speaker 22: The US Senate is about to take on and historic
Speaker 22: and perhaps grueling task, the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
Speaker 13: Here ye hear ye, hear ye.
Speaker 37: All persons are commanded to keep silent on pain of
Speaker 37: imprisonment while the Senate of the United States is sitting
Speaker 37: for the trial of the articles of impeachment exhibited by
Speaker 37: the House of Representatives against Donald John Trump, President of
Speaker 37: the United States.
Speaker 2: Hey ye hey ye, hey yey is one of those
Speaker 2: phrases that has to be shouted.
Speaker 1: Certain phrases have to be shouted, like make some noise
Speaker 1: or you're not even my real dad got to shout
Speaker 1: certain things.
Speaker 2: And despite the asmr intro, Trump's impeachment trial is already.
Speaker 1: Filled with drama.
Speaker 2: Just look at the all star defense team president Trump
Speaker 2: put together. All right, this is an insane team that
Speaker 2: Trump collected. Is god can star the lawyer who is
Speaker 2: famous for doing the investigation that led to Bill Clinton's impeachments.
Speaker 2: And it's got Alan Dershowitz who's famous.
Speaker 1: For defending O. J. Simpson.
Speaker 2: So these lawyers are perfect for Trump because they have
Speaker 2: experience with super guilty people and super hawney presidents.
Speaker 1: It's great, it's a combination.
Speaker 2: But I will say this, Trump's lawyers may want to
Speaker 2: polish up the defense strategy because things have already gotten
Speaker 2: off to a rocky start.
Speaker 28: The president's legal team offering the first glimpse of their
Speaker 28: defense that the president did nothing wrong, did not commit
Speaker 28: a crime, and that even the Democrats argument of abusive
Speaker 28: power does not rise to an impeachable offense, something one
Speaker 28: of his lawyers, Alan Dershowitz, maintained over the weekend.
Speaker 3: The articles of impeachment are two non criminal actions, but.
Speaker 21: Many constitutional scholars disagree. Trump's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz himself once
Speaker 21: argued the opposite during the Clinton impeachment.
Speaker 37: So it certainly doesn't have to be a crime if
Speaker 37: you have somebody who completely corrupts the office of president.
Speaker 1: This is really interesting.
Speaker 2: What he said in the nineties was in fact correct,
Speaker 2: and what he's saying now is also in fact correct.
Speaker 36: Previously you said it doesn't have to be a crime
Speaker 36: if the guy, if the if the person in office
Speaker 36: completely corrupts the office of president. Now you're saying criminal like,
Speaker 36: So you're not so corrupting the office of the president.
Speaker 36: Is that in your criminal lights or criminal like?
Speaker 1: No, no, it's not.
Speaker 23: And that was reject that was rejected by the were wrong.
Speaker 1: I say you were wrong back then. I was saying that.
Speaker 1: I'm much more correct right now, having done much research
Speaker 1: because that and the ise.
Speaker 6: I didn't do the research back then because that wasn't
Speaker 6: an issue.
Speaker 1: I've done the research now. I wasn't wrong. I am
Speaker 1: just far more correct now than I was now.
Speaker 2: Wait what I wasn't wrong. I am just far more
Speaker 2: correct now than I was then. That is one of
Speaker 2: the most original lines I have ever heard in my life. Now,
Speaker 2: that's a great line for a lawyer. But thank god
Speaker 2: this guy doesn't work on a bomb squad, because.
Speaker 1: That would be a disaster.
Speaker 2: He would just be like, cut the yellow wire, wait,
Speaker 2: cut the red one, already cut the yellow one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well I wasn't wrong about yellow, but the red one
Speaker 2: is more correct.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. We're not gonna die. We're just gonna be
Speaker 1: less alive.
Speaker 38: If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has his way, the
Speaker 38: vote to convict or acquit President Trump will come sooner
Speaker 38: rather than later. McConnell presenting his proposed trial rules that
Speaker 38: break from the Clinton model.
Speaker 21: Mitch McConnell releasing his long awaited blueprint. Each side will
Speaker 21: have twenty four hours over just two days to make
Speaker 21: their opening statements. It means Senators could have to sit
Speaker 21: for twelve hour sessions, part of the Republican push for
Speaker 21: a faster trial, but Democrats say Republicans are trying to
Speaker 21: hide the president's misconduct in the dead of night.
Speaker 19: He could force presentations to take place at two or
Speaker 19: three in the morning. The McConnell resolution will result in
Speaker 19: a rush trial with little evidence in the dark of night,
Speaker 19: literally the dark of night.
Speaker 2: You know, for a guy who shares so much DNA
Speaker 2: with turtles, McConnell sure wants to move fast.
Speaker 1: You know what I feel like.
Speaker 2: I feel like McConnell will be the worst person to
Speaker 2: go on a date with you know, because he seems
Speaker 2: like one of those people who would order the appetizer,
Speaker 2: the main course, and the dessert all at the same time,
Speaker 2: you know, just to rush things along.
Speaker 39: And just we're like, yeah, bring us the spike, the
Speaker 39: half far Sunday on the track. We're getting the track
Speaker 39: with all formality. We're just gonna smash.
Speaker 2: Today was the day that Democrats began to lay out
Speaker 2: their case against the president, but last night fights were
Speaker 2: already breaking out about whether this trial should even be
Speaker 2: happening in the first place.
Speaker 40: Opening arguments begin early this afternoon, and we're expecting a
Speaker 40: very fierce debate over why the president should and shouldn't
Speaker 40: be removed from office. Republicans want this all over by
Speaker 40: the State of the Union address in two weeks. Democrats say,
Speaker 40: not so fast.
Speaker 30: Why are we here?
Speaker 41: Are we here.
Speaker 1: Because of a phone call?
Speaker 42: We are here, sir, to follow the facts, apply to law,
Speaker 42: be guided by the Constitution, and present the truth to
Speaker 42: the American people. That is why we are here, mister secular.
Speaker 42: And if you don't know, now you know.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know, now you know. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 2: Congressman Hakim Jeffries just quoted Biggie on the floor of Congress.
Speaker 1: The only thing, the only thing I wish is that
Speaker 1: he'd used the entire line. That would have been amazing.
Speaker 2: It was like, if you don't know, now you know, nigga.
Speaker 1: Because if that happened, black people would have been out
Speaker 1: celebrating in the streets. It would have been MLKDA.
Speaker 2: Part two, all of us out there like you know
Speaker 2: very well who you are.
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, man, hip hop has come a
Speaker 1: long way. Think about it.
Speaker 2: In the eighties and nineties, it was considered gangster music,
Speaker 2: and now it's being quoted in an impeachment trial.
Speaker 1: Huh. That's how far hip hop has come. Think about that.
Speaker 1: That's insane. Hip hop just keeps up.
Speaker 2: I bet it's only a matter of time before, like
Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell responds with a rap lyric of his own, He's.
Speaker 39: Like, mom, my name is Metch and I don't have
Speaker 39: a draw. I love the Senate and saying ma.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 39: Now.
Speaker 2: The reason the things got so heated yesterday is because
Speaker 2: Democrats tried ten different times to get new witnesses and
Speaker 2: evidence into this impeachment trial, and the Republicans shot them
Speaker 2: down each and every time. There hasn't been that much
Speaker 2: rejection in DC's and Stephen Miller went speed dating.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: One of the main witnesses Democrats really hope will testify
Speaker 2: is former Trump advisor and grumpy Captain Crunch John Bolton.
Speaker 2: But when the President was asked about it this morning,
Speaker 2: he had a list of reasons why he doesn't want
Speaker 2: Bolton to testify.
Speaker 7: In regards to the proceedings going on in the Senate.
Speaker 10: Are you absolutely against John Moulten testify?
Speaker 3: The problem with John is that it's a national security problem.
Speaker 3: You know, you can't have somebody who's at national security.
Speaker 3: And if you think about it, John he knows some
Speaker 3: of my thoughts. He knows what I think about leaders.
Speaker 3: What happens if he reveals what I think about a
Speaker 3: certain leader and it's not very positive, and that I
Speaker 3: have to deal on behalf of the country, it's going
Speaker 3: to be very hard. It's going to make the job
Speaker 3: very hard. He knows other things.
Speaker 17: And I don't know.
Speaker 3: If we left on the best of terms, I would
Speaker 3: say probably not.
Speaker 2: You know, you know one thing I enjoy about Trump
Speaker 2: is that he will give you every excuse all at
Speaker 2: the same time. All Right, He'll start with the fake excuse,
Speaker 2: but then he'll just keep going until you learn the
Speaker 2: real reasons.
Speaker 10: Just like sadly, we can't hear from Bolton because it's
Speaker 10: a national security there. And also you'll reveal what I
Speaker 10: think about other world leaders, and also he hates my guts,
Speaker 10: and also he'll be in the crimes that I committed.
Speaker 18: So many reasons.
Speaker 43: Breaking overnight bombshell, former National security advisor John Bolton ready
Speaker 43: to turn on the President as news leaks from his
Speaker 43: explosive new book about what he claims really happened with Ukraine.
Speaker 13: Bolton says the President told him that he wanted to
Speaker 13: continue freezing three hundred and ninety one million dollars in
Speaker 13: security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations
Speaker 13: into Democrats, including the Bidens.
Speaker 14: President Trump signaling that he is going to paint John
Speaker 14: Bolton as a disgruntled former employee. Take a look at
Speaker 14: his tweet from earlier today. He says, if John Bolton
Speaker 14: said this, it was only to sell a book.
Speaker 2: Wow, this is a big deal because we now know
Speaker 2: that if Bolton testifies, he would say that Trump personally
Speaker 2: told him that he wanted to hold up aid to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Until he got dirt on the Bidens, which is the
Speaker 1: whole thing. This is the heart of the entire impeachment thing.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how Senator Publics can justify not
Speaker 2: hearing from Bolton now, like there's no reason. Imagine an
Speaker 2: eyewitness to a murder wanted to testify and the judge
Speaker 2: just refused. You know, I was just like, your honor,
Speaker 2: I saw this man, and I saw the crime firsthand.
Speaker 1: Be like, I up, no spoilers, no spoilers. I want
Speaker 1: to see how it adds. And by the way, is Trump?
Speaker 2: Is Trump really gonna argue that John Bolton is just
Speaker 2: another disgruntled employee because I don't know about you, but
Speaker 2: he sure seems to have a lot of disgruntled employees.
Speaker 1: Like how come nobody ever leaves the White House gruntled?
Speaker 2: He's like, thank you, mister President, I am so gruntled
Speaker 2: to have worked with you. So Bolton's book has thrown
Speaker 2: a big, hairy curveball into this impeachment trial. But believe
Speaker 2: it or not, the Bolton revelations aren't the only big
Speaker 2: new piece of evidence because remember Lev Parnas, Yes, Rudy
Speaker 2: Giuliani's right hand man, and the count from Sesame Street
Speaker 2: well after Parnas said that he worked for Trump to
Speaker 2: get dirt on Joe Biden, Trump repeatedly claimed he has
Speaker 2: no idea who this man is. And that's even though
Speaker 2: they've they've repeated more photos together than Mariah carry and
Speaker 2: Christmas trees. So now the question is is Trump lying
Speaker 2: about not knowing Paras or is part US lying about
Speaker 2: knowing Trump.
Speaker 1: Well, it turns out upon Us has the receipts.
Speaker 27: Breaking overnight the release and an explosive new audiotape that
Speaker 27: reportedly features President Trump speaking to Igor Fruman and Lev
Speaker 27: Parnas at a dinner in twenty and eighteen.
Speaker 18: On the tape, a voice identified as Parnass can be
Speaker 18: heard telling Trump that the ambassador to Ukraine was bad
Speaker 18: mouthing him.
Speaker 34: Yeah, she's basically walking around telling everybody, Wait, he's going
Speaker 34: to get impeached. Just wait, I mean it's incredible.
Speaker 5: Get get her out, to take her out, Okay.
Speaker 34: Thanxscellent' do it.
Speaker 18: President Trump has repeatedly said he doesn't know Lev Parnas,
Speaker 18: but on the tape they talk in detail about Ukraine.
Speaker 2: White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said the gathering doesn't
Speaker 2: mean the president knew of or even remembered lab Parnes.
Speaker 9: The president sits at many many dinners, at many many round.
Speaker 24: Tables with people that he does not know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the president has many many dinners, sometimes.
Speaker 1: All on the same nights. Come on, guys, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: You just can't keep pretending that Trump doesn't know this guy, right,
Speaker 2: Because first they said Trump wouldn't remember.
Speaker 1: All the people he takes photos with. Okay, I understand that.
Speaker 2: Now they're saying Trump can't remember all the people he
Speaker 2: has private dinners with.
Speaker 1: What's next they're gonna be like, Look, the president gets
Speaker 1: matching quid pro quote back tattoos with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: He can't be expected to remember all of that this afternoon.
Speaker 44: In a stunning argument when a president, Trump's top lawyers
Speaker 44: claimed any president has almost unlimited power, that his election
Speaker 44: is in the public interest, and so he said, Trump
Speaker 44: cannot be impeached.
Speaker 2: Every public official that I know believes that his election
Speaker 2: is in.
Speaker 34: The public interest.
Speaker 1: And if a president does something which he believes will
Speaker 1: help him get.
Speaker 6: Elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind
Speaker 6: of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, we have finally arrived. First it was
Speaker 2: there was no quid pro quo. Then it was maybe
Speaker 2: there was a quid pro quo, but it was to
Speaker 2: help the country, not Donald Trump. And now it's like
Speaker 2: a man, the Donald gonna do what the Donald gonna do.
Speaker 2: Your little bitch ass does need to shut the hell up. So,
Speaker 2: just to be clear, the Trump team's argument is now
Speaker 2: that anything Trump does to get himself re elected is
Speaker 2: fine because his re election, in his mind, is good
Speaker 2: for the country.
Speaker 1: And then it's not impeachable anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Trump can elude, Trump can obstruct and it's
Speaker 2: all good. Hell, he can even lock all the Democratic
Speaker 2: candidates in a room with Eric. Yeah, just be like,
Speaker 2: at some point one of you will eat the other
Speaker 2: and either way.
Speaker 1: I wait.
Speaker 2: There is no denying that this weekend was a big
Speaker 2: one for President Trump, and not just because the chef
Speaker 2: andd mar Lago made boob shaped burgers. No, it was
Speaker 2: big because Republican senators stopped witnesses from testifying at Trump's impeachment.
Speaker 1: Trump, and it wasn't for the reason that you might think.
Speaker 27: This weekend more senate Republicans admitted the president's actions were
Speaker 27: wrong and bad, but they insist not impeachable.
Speaker 45: I agreed he did something inappropriate, but I don't agree
Speaker 45: he did anything akin to treason, bribery, high crimes, and misdemeanor. Well,
Speaker 45: I mean, if you have eight witnesses who say someone
Speaker 45: left the scene of an accident, why do you need nine?
Speaker 45: I mean it's a question for me, was do I
Speaker 45: need more evidence to conclude that the president did what
Speaker 45: he did? And I concluded no.
Speaker 2: After months of claiming Trump did nothing wrong, many key
Speaker 2: Republicans have now settled on Look, man, it was bad,
Speaker 2: but not kicked the guy out bad. Yeah, Republicans basically
Speaker 2: treat Trump like white people treat their dogs, you know,
Speaker 2: short top, all the furniture pooped on the floor, and
Speaker 2: but the neighbor's kid.
Speaker 1: But who can stay married? A dead face? Who can
Speaker 1: step married? Dead face? He just wanted a qui quo.
Speaker 1: He wanted a who who went too? You want a jo?
Speaker 2: Today was the final day in the impeachment trial of
Speaker 2: Donald Jumbalia Trump, and no big surprise, he was acquitted
Speaker 2: by the Republican run Senates, which.
Speaker 1: Was never in doubt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't boot vote see impeachments.
Speaker 1: Was it was known like everyone knew where this was going.
Speaker 2: This This was like a movie where you can guess
Speaker 2: what was gonna happen without even watching it, you know,
Speaker 2: like Titanic. Okay, it's a ship that's going to sink
Speaker 2: or Sophie's choice. Some lady has to decide which dude
Speaker 2: she's gonna bone.
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. So with the outcome,
Speaker 1: never in doubts.
Speaker 2: The only real drama today was whether any Republicans would
Speaker 2: dare vote against Donald Trump. And it turns out there
Speaker 2: was one man with binders full of courage.
Speaker 39: Republicans.
Speaker 20: Senator mit Romney emotionally announced on the Senate floor that
Speaker 20: he will break ranks and vote to convict and remove
Speaker 20: President Trump.
Speaker 46: The president asked a foreign government to investigate his political rival.
Speaker 46: The President's purpose was personal and political. Accordingly, the President
Speaker 46: is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust. With
Speaker 46: my vote, I will tell my children and their children
Speaker 46: that I did my duty to the best of my ability,
Speaker 46: believing that my country expected it of me.
Speaker 1: That is shocking.
Speaker 29: That is.
Speaker 1: Shocking.
Speaker 2: Who would have thought that the most badass Republican in
Speaker 2: the Senate would end up being a Mormon dude named Mitz.
Speaker 1: And I gotta say, Mitz, you proved everyone wrong.
Speaker 2: The haters said you were as radical as a glass
Speaker 2: of skim milk, but they were wrong.
Speaker 1: Mitt your whole milk, my man. That's why whole milk fan.
Speaker 41: Now.
Speaker 2: Other than Romney, another Republican senator who was considered on
Speaker 2: the fence was also about Trump was Susan Collins of Maine.
Speaker 1: Right, but she decided that we.
Speaker 2: Don't need to throw Trump out because she thinks he's
Speaker 2: already been scared straight.
Speaker 35: There are some senators who could have cross party lines.
Speaker 25: Senator Susan Collins will not be one of them.
Speaker 13: I'm voting to a queed.
Speaker 14: I believe that the president has learned from this case.
Speaker 19: What do you believe the president has learned?
Speaker 13: The president has been impeached.
Speaker 29: That's a pretty big lesson.
Speaker 41: However, during a TV anchors lunch at the White House yesterday,
Speaker 41: Trump responded to questions about collins comments, saying he had
Speaker 41: done nothing wrong and that is conversation with Ukraine's president.
Speaker 35: Quote was a perfect call.
Speaker 2: Man, Donald Trump would be the hardest person to defend
Speaker 2: in courts.
Speaker 1: He'd be like, your honor, my client has learned his lesson. No,
Speaker 1: I haven't his days of selling drugs are over. Who
Speaker 1: wants cokain.
Speaker 2: Because clearly Trump hasn't learned a lesson. If anything, He's
Speaker 2: learned that he can do whatever he wants and Republicans
Speaker 2: will let him get away with it, but.
Speaker 1: First they're gonna shake their heads.
Speaker 25: Mmm.
Speaker 2: So basically, thanks to Senate Republicans, Trump is now free.
Speaker 2: He can just run through laws like he's got that
Speaker 2: super Mario invisibility style.
Speaker 1: That's what he can do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's invincible, except Trump is more powerful than Mario
Speaker 2: because in this case, the turtles are on his side. Basically, basically,
Speaker 2: President Trump is off the hook. He's completely off the hook,
Speaker 2: and you know what that means. He's gonna let loose Tonight.
Speaker 2: He's gonna eat fifty burgers, bang a porn starck, and
Speaker 2: then he's gonna do something crazy.
