1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Wow, what a day. This is banned. This is like 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: an Adam bomb has now blown up the entire charade. 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: And the Democrats thought they had it all done today. 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: They thought this is great. Sonon is gonna say this, 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: and he's gonna say that. And Solon's opening statement is 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: damn me. And you even have the compromised, corrupt congenital 7 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: liar running out to the TV cameras saying that Solon 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: has tied Donald Trump directly to AID because every other 9 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: witness has been a hearsay witness or an opinion witness. 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: What I think of what the transcript said, This is 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: the first guy that actually talked to Trump and he 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: thinks that Trump tied AID to Ukraine. I'm watching this 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: and I'm watching and I'm a bit unfolding, and I'm like, 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: this doesn't fit with what he said behind closed doors, 15 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: because Solon is the guy that actually said, uh, yeah, no, 16 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: I talked to the president. The President said, there's no quid, 17 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: no pro no quo. I don't want any quid pro quo. 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: I want to end the corruption. That's all the President 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: had ever said. That's what he testified. He used those 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: terms over and over and over and over again in 21 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: his audition testimony behind closed doors, so we knew what 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: he had said. So he's just assuming. But he you know, 23 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: he starts out and now he's giving false hope to 24 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: the mob and the media and to the corrupt, compromised, 25 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: congenital liar shift. But then the Republicans start digging in 26 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: and asking questions. There have been rock stars on the 27 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Republican side. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you where this 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: all ended today. Congressman Turner crushed it today. Jim Jordan 29 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: crushed it not once but twice today. What's the congresswoman 30 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: from New York's name? She was amazing also today. And 31 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: then we have congres has been Ratcliffe today because he 32 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: got Silander agreed and he had known. There's nothing sinister 33 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: in or nefarious in any way in all of this. 34 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: Let me play where it died today for the Democrats 35 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 1: and the mob in the media, it died. It literally 36 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: blew up in their faces. We'll start with Congressman Turner 37 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: and the first Jordan a cross on this because it 38 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: all of it ends because we had Turner get him 39 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: to say he repeatedly, nobody ever told you that Donald 40 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: Trump was linking or tying AID to actions. Right, and 41 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: then Jordan when he gets in and he said, okay, 42 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: when did Zelinsky make the public announcement about the investigations? 43 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: And never? Oh, so he got the AID and there 44 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: was no announcement, So there really never was a quid 45 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: pro qoill on top of what we now know. And 46 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: the president, by the way, he released there are three 47 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: occasions whether president of the United States invited the new 48 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: president of Ukraine's Alinsky to the White House without any 49 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: connection to him doing anything. That also came out today. 50 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: Let's start with Congressman Turner and then the follow up 51 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: by Jordan. This was like a bomb that just exploded 52 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: right in the faces of our corrupt media mob. And 53 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,559 Speaker 1: by the way Turner calls them out and the compromise 54 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: corrupt congenital liar Shift an awesome moment. Listen. After you testified, 55 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: Chairman Shift ran out and given press conference and said 56 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: he gets to impeach the President Nited States because of 57 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: your testimony. And if you pull up CNN today right now, 58 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: their banner says Silon ties Trump to withholding aid. Is 59 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: that your testimony today, Master Silon, that you have evidence 60 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump the investigations, the aid, because I don't 61 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: think you're saying that I've said repeatedly, Congressman, I was 62 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: presuming I also said that President Trump, So not just 63 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: the president. Giuliani didn't tell you, Well, Vaney didn't tell you, nobody, 64 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: Pompeo didn't tell you. Nobody else on this planet told 65 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: you that Donald Trump was tying aid to these investigations. 66 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: Is that correct? I think I already testified. No answer 67 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: the question, is it correct? No one on this planet 68 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: told you that Donald Trump was tying this aid to 69 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 1: the investigations. Because if your answers yes, then the Chairman's 70 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: wrong and the headline on CNN is wrong. No one 71 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: on this planet told you that President Trump was tying 72 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: aid to investigations. Yes or no? Yes, So you really 73 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: have no testimony today that ties President Trump to a 74 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: scheme to withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations, 75 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: other than my own presumption, which is nothing. I mean, 76 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: That's what I'd understaid. So you know what hearsay evidence is, Ambassador. 77 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: Hearsay is when I testify what someone else told me. 78 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: Do you know what made up testimony is? Made up 79 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: testimonies when I just presume it. I mean, you're just 80 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: assuming all of these things, and then you're giving them 81 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: the evidence that they're running out and doing press conferences. 82 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: And CNN's headline is saying that you're saying the President 83 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: United States should be impeached because he tied aid to 84 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: investigations and you don't know that, correct. I never said 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: the President United States should be impeached. Nope, but you did. 86 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: You have left people with the confusing impression that you 87 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: were giving testimony that you did not. You do not 88 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: have any evidence that the President United States was tied 89 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: to withholding aid from Ukraine and exchange for investigations. I 90 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: yield back. I finally called the president. I believe it 91 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: was on the ninth of September. I can't find the 92 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: records and they won't provide them to me, but I 93 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: believe I just asked him an open ended question, mister chairman, 94 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: what do you want from Ukraine? I keep hearing all 95 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: these different ideas and theories and this and that. What 96 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: do you want? And it was a very short, abrupt conversation. 97 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: He was not in a good mood, and he just said, 98 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: I want nothing, I want nothing, I want no quid 99 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: pro quo tells Lensky to do the right thing, something 100 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: to that effect. President Trump never told me directly that 101 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: the aid was conditioned on the meetings. The only thing 102 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: we got directly from Juliani was that the barissima in 103 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: two sixteen elections were conditioned on the White House meeting. 104 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: The aid was my own personal you know, guests, based 105 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: again on your analogy two plus two equals for so 106 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: you didn't talk to President Trump when Ambassador Taylor says 107 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: that that's what you told him, is that your testimony here? 108 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: My testimony is I never heard from President Trump that 109 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: aid was conditioned on an announcement of elections. So you 110 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: never heard those specific words, correct, right, But never heard 111 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: those words over check mate and a call. The President's 112 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: in a bad mood. He said he didn't want a 113 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: quid pro quo. It's over and here Congressman Turner actually 114 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: gets this guy to admit that the compromised fact witness 115 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: congenital liar Schiff ran out and said, we got him, 116 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: and the salon just tied Trump said he can tie 117 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: Trump to the aid being withheld. We got him. But 118 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: then he goes on and says Trump told him he 119 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: didn't want a quid pro quol directly. Every other witness 120 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: up till now, every other one was either hearsay so 121 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: and so's uncle's brother's grandmother's third cousin's niece's father said, 122 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: or well, I didn't hear it myself, but um what 123 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: I read in the transcript or I was on the call, 124 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: and you know that's the exact stuff that happened on 125 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: the transcript. This is critical, it is over, it's done, 126 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: This is the end of this. Let the Democrats impeach 127 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: all they want. None of the hearsay, none of the 128 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: interpretations matter. And Sonlin blew it out of the water 129 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: because he is now the greatest fact witness for the 130 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: President of the United States, because he's the only one 131 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: that actually talked to him. And the President's directive was clear, 132 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: what do you want from Ukraine? Nothing? I don't want 133 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: to quit pro quel, just you know, get rid of 134 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: the corruption, which is all in the transcript. Anyway, Now, 135 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: let's go to the issue that Jim Jordan follows up. 136 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: And Jim Jordan is like asking, no, well, when did 137 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Zelensky make the announcement that he was going to investigate 138 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: Hunter and joe An election interference? When did he because 139 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: he got the money, so we must have done something. No, 140 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: we blow this out of the water here. Listen, ambassador, 141 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: when did it happen? When did what happened? The announcement? 142 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: When did President Zelensky announced that the investigations were going 143 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: to happen? On page fourteen, you said this was there 144 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: a quick pro code. Today's your opening statement. As I 145 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: testified previously, with regards to the requested White House call 146 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: White House meeting, The answer is yes, that they didn't 147 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: need to be a public statement from President Zelensky. When 148 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: the chairman asked you about the security assistance dollars, you 149 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: said there needed to be a public announcement from Zelenski. 150 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: So I'm asking you a simple question, when did that happen? 151 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: Never did? Never did? They got the call July twenty fifth, 152 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,599 Speaker 1: They got the meeting, not in the White House but 153 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 1: in New York on September twenty fifth, They got the 154 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: money on September eleventh, when the meeting happened again, Never didn't. 155 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: You don't know who's in the meeting. Which meeting are 156 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: you referring the meeting that never happened? Who was in it? 157 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: You know how people. Do you know how you know 158 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: how Zelinsky announced it? Did he tweet it? Did he 159 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: do a press statement? Did he do a press conference? 160 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: You know how that happened? I mean, you got all 161 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: three of them wrong. They get the call, they get 162 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: the meeting, they get the money. It's not two plus two, 163 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: it's oh for three. I mean, I've never seen anything 164 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: like this. And you told mister Castor that the President 165 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: never told you that the announcement had to happen to 166 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: get anything. In fact, he didn't just not tell you that. 167 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: He explicitly said the opposite. They said the opposite. They 168 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: did nothing. The President said, I don't want to quit 169 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: pro quel. This is Jordan now again, and this round 170 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: he's following up on what Congressman Turner said. Listen to this. 171 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: You said to the President of the United States, Aidan's 172 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: that right. I don't know if that's a fair characterization. 173 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: I think he's careful. He's expressed concerns about four May 174 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: going in certain countries, Okay, fair enough? And he knew 175 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: Ukraine was corrupt, is that right? He believed Ukraine was corrupt, Yeah, 176 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: And he wanted Europe to do more. Definitely definitely wanted 177 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: to Europe to more, and the president had a belief 178 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: that Ukrainian government officials, some senior Ukrainian government officials, supported 179 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: his opponent in twenty sixteen. I won't go into all 180 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: the details, but I think of the one member parliament 181 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: who said the majority of Ukrainian politicians want Hillary Clinton 182 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: to win. So he had that belief as well, and 183 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: obviously he understood what was happening. We got a brand 184 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: new guy in Ukraine, the Selinski guy wins right right, 185 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: and his party takes over, and President Trump wants to 186 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: see with all these other things that are concerned to him. 187 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: He wants to see if this new guys actually, as 188 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: I like to say, the real deal, a real reformer 189 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: and actually going to deal with the corruption problem. So 190 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: it gets up for fifty five days, gets held up 191 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: on June eighteenth, excuse me, July eighteenth, and then is 192 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: released on September eleventh. But it seems to me more 193 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,119 Speaker 1: important than the fifty five day pause is the fourteen 194 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: days when Ukraine realized AID was held up. On the 195 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: twenty ninth, we've now had you testified that the two 196 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: witnesses yesterday testified that the political article, so AID gets 197 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: held up on August excuse me, Ukraine learns AID is 198 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: held on August twenty ninth, and then of course released 199 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: on released on September eleventh. In those fourteen days, there 200 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: are three important meetings with senior government officials and President's Lensky. 201 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: There's the August twenty ninth meeting between Master Bolton and 202 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: Presidents Lensky. There's the meeting September one that you're a 203 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: part of. Vice President Pence meets with Presidents Lensky. And 204 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: then there's a meeting on September fifth where US Senators 205 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: Murphy and Johnson meet with Presidents Lensky. None of those meetings, 206 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: none of those meetings, did any linkage to security assistant 207 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: dollars and an announcement or start of any investigation ever 208 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: come up. None of them. But it seems to me 209 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: the one that's the most important is probably the one 210 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: we've talked least about, and that's the September fifth meeting, 211 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: because that's actually a meeting where there is no one well, 212 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: it's much more congressional focus than White House focus. This 213 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: is the meeting where Senators Murphy, Senators Murphy and Johnson 214 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: bipartisan meet with President Zelensky. And what's interesting is what 215 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: both senators in the last two days have given us 216 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: letters recounting what happened in that meeting. Senator Murphy said, 217 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: I broached the topic of pressure on Zelenski from Rudy 218 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: Giuliani and the President's other emissaries to launch investigation to 219 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: Trump's political rival. Murphy brought it up. You brought You 220 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: got two senators who both strong supporters of money gone 221 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: to Ukraine. These guys are all for it. And Senator Murphy, 222 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: the Democrat, even brings up the issue everyone's been talking about. 223 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: It seems to me, if ever there was gonna be 224 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: a time where the President of Ukraine says, guys, you 225 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm dealing with. I'm getting pressure from 226 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: the President United States. He wants me to do this. 227 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: I gotta make it. It seems if ever there was 228 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: a time that the President of Ukraine, the new guy 229 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: who now knows the aid has been on hold. If 230 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: ever there was a time to bring it up, that 231 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: would have been the time. But guess what, At no time, 232 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: Senator Johnson tells US had no time during this meeting 233 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: or on any other meeting on this trip. Was there 234 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: any mentioned by Zelenski or any other Ukrainian that they 235 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: were feeling pressure to do anything in return for military aid. 236 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: Not even Senator Johnson says, not even after Murphy warned 237 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: them about getting involved in the election. So Murphy gave 238 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: this big deal on Juliani and nothing nothing. Guess what 239 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: Murphy also said, I do not dispute any of Senator 240 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: Johnson's factual, factual representations regarding the meeting, if ever it 241 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: was going to happen. September fifth was the day that 242 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: no one from the White House there, non Ambassadbale, not 243 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: Vice President, no one. It never came up. What have 244 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: we learned? What do we learn? We learned that yeah, no, no, no, 245 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: no no. The President said no quid pro quo, and 246 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: no the President never tied aid to it. They got 247 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: the aid and they never did anything. It's over. We'll continue, 248 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: all right, Let's go back to the tape more Jim Jordan, 249 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna break this all out for you, 250 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: because this couldn't be a better day for President Trump. Listen, 251 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: you said to the President of the United States, what 252 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: do you want from Ukraine? The president, I want nothing, 253 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelinsky to 254 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: do the right thing. I want him to do what 255 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: he ran on. What do you run on, mister ambassador 256 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: silon transparency and dealing with corruption? Right? That's right. Mister 257 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: cass raised another important point. Why didn't you put that 258 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: statement in your opening statement? I think you said you 259 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: couldn't fit it in. Is that right that we might 260 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: be here for forty six minutes? Instead? It wasn't five 261 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: trust me, wasn't purposeful. No, I couldn't fit it in 262 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: a twenty three page opener, the most important statement about 263 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: the subject matter at hand. The President unites in a 264 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: direct conversation with you about the issue at hand, and 265 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: the President says, let me read it one more time. 266 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: What do you want from Ukraine? Mister president? I want nothing. 267 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: I want no quid pro quo. I want this new guy, 268 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: brand new guy in politics, his party just took over. 269 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: I wanted Linskey to do the right thing. I want 270 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: him to run on and do what he ran on, 271 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: which is deal with corruption. And you can't find time 272 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: to fit that in a twenty three page opening statement. 273 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: You know what a quid pro quo is? I do 274 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: just for that? Right? Looks to me like Ukraine got 275 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: that three times and there was no this there was 276 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: we didn't do anything. Excuse me, they didn't have to 277 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: do anything. I've never seen anything like that. And this 278 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: is this is when the call came out, y'all. Remember this. 279 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: When the call came out, everyone said, we're gonna quit 280 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: pro quel, there's gonna be That was what was in 281 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: the call. And of course, of course that didn't happen. 282 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: That didn't happen. Remember what they what the complaints said, 283 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: Remember what the memo said of the whistleblower. This call 284 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: was frightening, this call was scary. All those things none 285 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: of that materialized. None of that materialized, I mean it was. 286 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: It just couldn't go any better. Every witness before song 287 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: one today was either a hearsay so and so so 288 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: and so so and so so and so so and 289 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: so so and so so so so said, or a 290 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: let me tell you what I think of the transcript 291 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: that I didn't hear. Witness. Now you got the one 292 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: guy that did talk to the president. And what did 293 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: we get from testimony today? Very clearly stating in a 294 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: conversation with Donald Trump that the president said, when asked 295 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: an open ended question, what do you want from the 296 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: Ukrainian leader, the new president. Nothing. I don't want to 297 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: quit pro quo. I want him to get rid of 298 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: corruption like it ran on. That's it, that's over, it's done. 299 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: And then the question is, okay, well, when did Zalinski announce, 300 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: based on the transcript that he was gonna investigate Parisma 301 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: and Hunter and quid pro quote Joe zero experience Hunter 302 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: and quid pro quote Joe. He never did. But he 303 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: got the money anyway, didn't he? It's all her. This 304 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: is not an issue anymore. No one on the planet 305 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: told you the President Trump was tying aid to investigations, 306 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: yes or no. Nobody told me. So. You really have 307 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: no testimony that ties President Trump to a scheme to 308 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for the investigations, other 309 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: than what I presumed. How many times this guy presumed, 310 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: he presumed a lot in the course of all of this. 311 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: You know, he said, I believe these probably these investis. 312 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: I believed the resumption it was likely this. I presume 313 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: we presumed this, and that we I likely believe. I 314 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: don't know, I have no idea, but I was presuming that, 315 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: you know. But it was a short conversation. The aid 316 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: was my own personal I got, you know, based again 317 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: on an analogy two plus two equals four. That was 318 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: my presumption, my personal presumption. Again, I was presuming these things. 319 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: But when the actually talk to the guys that I 320 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: don't want this, I don't remember, but it seems logical. 321 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just you know, I guess I 322 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: have my own beliefs. I'm listening to these other people 323 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: and they're saying this, that's what we got today. Jim 324 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: Jordan got to the harder you said there. You know, 325 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: when did they say that there was gonna be a 326 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: public announcement from Zalinski to look into the things that 327 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: President Trump mentioned about election and interference and quid pro 328 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: quo Joe and Hunter. Yeah, no, he never made an announcement, 329 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: but he got the money anyway. Jordan actually said, you 330 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: got all three wrong. They get the call, they get 331 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: the meeting, they get the money, and the President invites 332 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: this guy three times. You got Now the letters released 333 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: today come to the White House without any quid or 334 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: pro or qual This is so sick how the Democrats 335 00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: are acting in this country. No one on the planet 336 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: ever told you President Trump was tying aid to investigations. 337 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: They never told me that, Nope, never heard that. He 338 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: said just the opposite. I mean, you now the president rightly. 339 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: I mean we're gonna go back to things. You know, 340 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: President was right about election interference and write about quid 341 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: and pro and quo joe? What did I say. I've 342 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: been saying the president's faithfully executing the loss for three years. 343 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: We've heard from the compromise corrupt coward and congenital liar 344 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: ship and all these Democrats. Oh, far an election interference matters, 345 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: but we'll ignore the dirty Russian dossier. And then we'll also, yeah, 346 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: it matters, but we don't care about Ukrainian interference. Get 347 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: to that in a second. Because Solomon outlined in detail 348 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: the epidemic of corruption in Ukraine. Yeah, it was an epidemic. 349 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: It was a total epidemic. I don't know how Sonoon 350 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: missed his statement that there was never a quid pro 351 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: quote because he said it multiple times in the last hearing, 352 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: Because he didn't say it in his opening statement. Democrat, 353 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: Oh we got him, this is awesome changing his testimony. No, 354 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: he didn't, you know, but he made a lot of 355 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: presumptions and then outruns, you know, the corrupt compromise congenital 356 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: like we got him, CNN, fake news, we got him. 357 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: And he said no, actually that never happened. Just the 358 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: opposite happened. Unbelievable. This is this is like it's just 359 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: all the wind is out of their sails. It was 360 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: like an Adam bomb in this thing. And he testified 361 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: the first time repeatedly. They all know that he that 362 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: this is the conversation. They don't care. He's the only 363 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: guy up until now still no quid, no pro and 364 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: no quote. It made it clear, the President made it clear, 365 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: don't want that. I want Zelinski to do the right thing, 366 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: which was what the President was saying from the very beginning. 367 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson talks about that meeting. It never came up 368 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: the issue of AID or withholding aid tied to any 369 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: actions by any of them. Ever, if you go back 370 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: to the original transcript, and I went back today and 371 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: I looked to wait a minute, they're forgetting a big 372 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: part of this, because the big part of their early 373 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: discussion to this about yeah, we want to drain our 374 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: swamp here in this country. That's a Lensky saying that 375 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: to Trump, just like you're doing in Washington, and the 376 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: President actually was a little skeptical. He goes, you know, 377 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: in the very paragraphe said, I'd like you to do 378 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: us a favor, which is to get to the bottom 379 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: of election interference and what Ukraine did. That's what he mentioned, 380 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: you know, CrowdStrike and you know one of your wealthy people, 381 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: the server Ukraine, was involved in this. Well, they were. 382 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: And the President says, I think you're surrounding yourself with 383 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: some of the same people. Why is he saying that 384 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: because he doesn't want any more corruption, because they did 385 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: interfere in our elections and we know it because the 386 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: Ukrainian court told us so. Yeah, this might surprise you. 387 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: New York Times Crane court rules Manafort disclosure caused meddling 388 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: in US elections only Molly, where'd you get that, Hannity? 389 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: And we actually do research on this show. In the research, 390 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: guess what we find out the truth. By the way, 391 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: new polling out on all of this, you got mu 392 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: law Pole shows that Wisconsin, the support for impeachment is 393 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: dropped four points in the past months, now just below 394 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: forty percent national poll and that morning consult Yeah, only 395 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: forty percent of independent support. This a ten point drop. 396 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: Gallup found the president's approval rating is ticking up since 397 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: this all began. That shouldn't surprise anybody. You know, you 398 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: got and it's just all corruption, all of this by 399 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: the way, House Republicans, they're going to subpoena the whistleblower 400 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: at Hunter Biden Good. They need to pretty amazing corruption 401 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: that we now are experiencing in this country and elsewhere. 402 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: You look at the Kiev court lawmaker's release. They were involved. 403 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: But we've been telling you all of this, that they 404 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: were involved from the very get go. We've been telling 405 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: you all of this that you know, the whole January eleven, 406 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, you know what was that whole article about 407 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: that was in Politico. It was about their corruption. It 408 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: was about, yeah, the whole thing is bad. Yeah, that 409 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: they helped Hillary at a very high level, Politico wrote 410 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: again January eleven, twenty seventeen. Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire, 411 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: key of officials scrambling to make amends with the President 412 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: elect after quietly working to boost Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump 413 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: wasn't the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by 414 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: officials of a former Soviet Bloc country. Ukrainian government officials 415 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump or in 416 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: the election by publicly questioning his fitness for office. And 417 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: they also, meeting Ukraine disseminated documents implicating a top Trump 418 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: aid in corruption, and they suggested they were investigating the matter, 419 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: only to back away after the election. And they helped 420 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: Clinton's allies research damaging information on Trump and advisers. A 421 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: political investigation found Now it even gets more interesting, a 422 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: Ukrainian American operative. Later they identify that person as this 423 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: woman Shaloopa, who was a paid consultant for the DNC, 424 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: met with top officials at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington 425 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: in an effort two exposed ties between Trump, Paul Manafort, 426 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: and Russia. Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race 427 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: meeting the twenty sixteen race, helping to force Manafort's resignation 428 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: and advanced the narrative that Trump's campaign was deeply connected 429 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: to Ukraine's foe to the east, Russia, but they were 430 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: far less concerted or centralized. Blah blah blah, Oh that 431 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: all happened. Wow was other testimony? Bombshell. By the way, 432 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: I know nobody wants to get into this. You have 433 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: a State Department official who served in the embassy in 434 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: Kiev telling Congress that Obama administration tried to partner in 435 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen with a Ukrainian gas firm that employed Hunter Biden. 436 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: George Kenne had said that I'll tell you another thing 437 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: that's happening. This is all as John Solomon. He'll describe 438 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: it in the next half hour. He's gonna join us. 439 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: You know, there was a mini little as he had 440 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: predicted report from Michael Harrowitz that nobody's paying attention to 441 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: Michael Harrowitz concluding that Peter Strock was cited for misconduct, 442 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: security violations, exceptionally poor judgment and FBI memos. This is 443 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: just part of what Bard did the other night, a 444 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: preview of coming attractions and the FBI quote the FBI's 445 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: vetting of informants like Christopher for Steel slammed by the 446 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: Inspector General Michael Harowitz. This report now is going to 447 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: be out in the first weeks of December and December eleventh, 448 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: Harowitz goes before Lindsey Graham's committee. They found significant weaknesses, 449 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: inadequate resources dedicated in the FBI to vet informants, artificial 450 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: limits on long term reviews, etc. These factors increased the 451 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: likelihood that the FBI was not adequately mitigating the risks 452 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: associated with long term associations like Steel, including the risks 453 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: posed by overly familiar, non objective handling agents and relationships. 454 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: Most troubling revelation is maybe some FBI analysts that used 455 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: to vet informants complained they were discouraged from documenting their 456 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: conclusions and recommendations. Oh so they could use Steel's dirty 457 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: Russian dossier paid for by Hillary to help Hillary get elected. 458 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's going to be a big deal too. 459 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: And it's all coming. This whole thing is about to 460 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: blow up in their face, every bit of it. And 461 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: today was just the first part of it. It's unbelievable. 462 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: By the way, Radio Free Europe about election interference and 463 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: the court decision in Ukraine. Yeah, the court said the 464 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: publication of the so called black Ledgered documents quote led 465 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: to interference in the electoral process of the United States 466 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen and harm the interest of Ukraine as 467 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: a state. And by the way, the White House today 468 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: releases a letter from President Trump, you know, to Zelenski 469 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, inviting him to the White House with no zero, 470 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: zero quid pro quo. It's over. This whole thing is done, 471 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: except the mob in the media will just try and 472 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: keep it alive any way. They'll cherry pick, but they'll 473 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: they'll they will purposely propagandize, mislead, slanders, smear besmirch, and 474 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: advanced conspiracy theories and lies to the American people. That's 475 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: how corrupt they are. This is dead. It died today. 476 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: That's what happened today. President Trump never told me directly 477 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: that the AID was conditioned on the meetings. The only 478 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: thing we got directly from Giuliani was that the barissima 479 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: in two thousand and sixteen elections were conditioned on the 480 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: White House meeting. The AID was my own personal you 481 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: know guests based again on your analogy two plus two 482 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: equals for so you didn't talk to President Trump. When 483 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: Ambassador Taylor says that that's what you told him, is 484 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: that your testimony here, My testimony is I never heard 485 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: from President Trump that aid was conditioned on an announcement 486 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: of elections. So you never heard those specific words, correct, right, 487 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: but never heard those words, never heard those words. And 488 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: it goes on from there, which raises the question, Okay, 489 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: if you never heard this or that, but you made 490 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: an assumption, well you write the word out assume, and 491 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: you can assume all you want. One of the things 492 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: that is becoming very very clear to me is you've 493 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: got this sort of bubble among the ambassadorships, and it's 494 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: kind of like they think they ought to be setting 495 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: foreign policy and that they think that they know what's best. 496 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: But nothing contradicts what's in the actual transcript. And now 497 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: that the President released the letter to President Zelensky on 498 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: top of the two transcripts where aid was never mentioned 499 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: and there was never any mention any one individual about 500 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: a quid pro quo, and everybody admits that, then you 501 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,479 Speaker 1: got to say, well, why are we even here? And 502 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: then if you get to the substance of what it 503 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: is that the President is asking in the transcript of 504 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: President Zelinski, well we have the New York Times acknowledging, 505 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: we have political acknowledging, and we have a Ukrainian court 506 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: acknowledging that in fact, twenty sixteen election interference with Ukraine 507 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: actually happened. Well, I thought Democrats cared about that, because 508 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: a big part of that would then be Alexander Shaloopa, 509 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: a DNC contractor being paid by the DNC, going to 510 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian embassy in Washington and colluding with Ukrainians to 511 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: dig up dirt on Manafort and President Trump for the 512 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: purpose of helping Hillary Clinton win the twenty sixteen presidential race. 513 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: And I thought that those were all things that we 514 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: were supposed to care about. Apparently not. And then again 515 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: we get back to Okay, Well, if everyone's concerned about 516 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: the quid and the quo and the pro then you 517 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: gotta think of Joe, and Joe's on tape bragging that 518 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: you're not getting the billion dollars. Why would a vice 519 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: president ever demand the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor and 520 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,479 Speaker 1: that you're not getting the billion and you've got six hours. 521 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: Why would that ever happen? Well we now know why, 522 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: because the dopey forty nine year old son Hunter was 523 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: being paid millions, putting aside the millions that he got 524 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: from China ten days after flying with his vice president's 525 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: son to China and then Romania and apparently other countries 526 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: may be involved too. But he gets millions of dollars 527 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: and he's asked, do you have any experience with Ukraine, 528 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: no energy, no oil gas, No, do you have any 529 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: idea why then they would pay you millions of dollars? 530 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think maybe it's because your 531 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: father is the second highest elected official in the United States? Yeah, 532 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: you know what, Probably I think that's it. John Solomon, 533 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: who's come under fire. I mean, this was a pretty 534 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: amazing moment because you know this woman, Maria Yanovic, whatever 535 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 1: her name is, the former ambassador. Oh. John Solomon actually 536 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: was one of the few people he along with the 537 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: Washington Post and ABC News, it was one of three 538 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: people that had interviewed the fired prosecutor. This guy named 539 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: Shokin and Choking had said in all three interviews he 540 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: was fired because Joe Biden demanded it or else they 541 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: weren't going to get a billion dollars. So how do 542 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: you bifurcate your brain as a Democrat not care about that? 543 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: And then John Solomon also interviewed the prosecutor general, and 544 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: that prosecutor general is on video saying to John Solomon, Yeah, 545 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: that woman gave me a list of names not to prosecute. 546 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: Now I'm beginning to think, well, if we cared about 547 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: election interference, so we cared about corruption, and we cared 548 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: about quid and pros and quoes. How did the Democrats 549 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: ignore all of that? Anyway, John Solomon is here with 550 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: us now. We also as new information to discuss as 551 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: it relates to the IG report that we now know 552 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: is coming out around the first week of December, because 553 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: Michael Horowitz a scheduled to appear before Lindsey Graham's committee 554 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: on December the eleventh. That's right, investigated reporter Fox News, 555 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: John Solomon, how are you. I'm doing well. I think 556 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: you know. We said this several weeks ago, right Sean, 557 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: that these impeachment hearings might very well be the weapon 558 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: of mass distraction that was designed to keep people's eye 559 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: off of the Russia developments. And here's a great example. 560 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 1: Today we have these hearings where no one has established 561 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: a quid pro quo yet for the AID, and yet 562 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: everybody's ignoring an extraordinary Inspector General's report released late last 563 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: night that conclude that the FBI has systematically failed to 564 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: manage and vet the confidential human sources like Christopher Steele 565 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: that are used to conduct counter intelligence and regular criminal investigations. 566 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: And we're talking about serious misconducts, serious oversights. We have 567 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: FBI officials quoted in this IG report saying that when 568 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: sometimes when they came across an now, oh slow down. 569 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: When John speaks quickly and says we have FBI officials 570 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: quoted in the IG report, that means, you know, let's 571 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: set off alarms here. You're about to give us information 572 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: that nobody knows has heard before. So we're getting the 573 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: IG report in early December, and Horowitz the schedule to 574 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: appear before Graham's committee in the Senate on September the eleven. 575 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: You're saying you have information what's in the report out 576 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: that this is not the fasive report, it's a preliminary one. 577 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,479 Speaker 1: It's one I told you about two weeks ago would 578 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: be coming out. Don't know if you remember this, but 579 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 1: the informant report, confidential informant report. It came out last night. 580 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: And see, the Democrats did such a good job of 581 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: distracting us with impeachment. We didn't even know this report 582 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: came out, which is exactly why these hearings were started, 583 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: to keep our eye off the ball on the unraveling 584 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: of the Rush investigation. But let me tell you what 585 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: it says were all wondered. Remember we've all said a lot, 586 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: We've talked on your show endlessly, Sean, How could it 587 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: be that the FBI would allow a guy like Christopher 588 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: Steele being paid by Hillary Clinton, professing hatred for Donald Trump, 589 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: having an election day deadline, and leaking to the media. 590 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: How could we let that guy be the primary source 591 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: we use to get a fight of warrant to look 592 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: at the Trump campaign in the final weeks of the election. 593 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 1: How could that have happened? Well? Inspector General Horrowitz released 594 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: a remarkable and damning report last night on the website 595 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: It's public, but not no one in the media is 596 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: picking up on it. It says the FBI under James Comey, 597 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 1: under Andrew McCabe, under Peter Stroke that they failed to 598 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: manage and vet human sources, informants just like Christopher Steele, regularly, routinely. 599 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: And one of the most serious things that highlights is 600 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: that FBI officials are quoted in this report released last 601 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: night saying, when we sometimes found derogatory information and about informants, 602 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: allow Christopher Steele, we were told don't put that in 603 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: the documents because he would help the defense lawyers, or 604 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: it would prevent our informants from becoming witnesses at trial. 605 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: So basically keep bad information about sources off the books. 606 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: That is a damning acknowledgement and helps us explain how 607 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: the heck did we end up with Christopher Steele. They 608 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: kept the derogatory information they had about him off the books. 609 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: All right, So what we have is the FBI substantiating 610 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: that Peters Struck had engaged in a dereliction of duty, 611 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: had committed misconduct through you know, these text messages with 612 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: Lisa Page, is anti Trump bias on his official FBI phone, 613 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: committed security violations by performing official government work on his 614 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: personal email. And we've got one official recommending termination, another 615 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: recommending suspension. And yet the leadership and the bureau at 616 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: the time they chose the more severe of the two 617 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: penalties terminating Struck last year. But so what does this 618 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: tell us about in terms of a preview of coming attractions. Well, 619 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: remember after the first IG report that focused on the 620 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton email one of the conclusions that was there 621 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: that the Horowitz said about the Clinton email case he 622 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: couldn't say for sure whether political bias affected Peter Stroke's 623 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: judgment or decisions on the Hillary Clinton email case. What 624 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: you can clearly see from the disciplinary file that was 625 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: released on Monday by the FBI and the Justice Department. 626 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: In the Stroke lawsuit, Stroke claims he's a victim should 627 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: never been fired. The Justice Department thinks very differently. His 628 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: disciplinary file, his misconduct file states clearly that his expression 629 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: of bias cast a paul over both the Clinton email 630 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 1: investigation and the Russian investigation, one that may not leave 631 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: the FBI for a a long time. The FBI blames 632 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: Peter Stroke for causing all of the credibility issues that 633 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: we now have about the Russia and the Clinton email cases. 634 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: A very strong indictment of Peter Stroke's misconduct when he 635 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: said all those things about smelly people at Walmart, and 636 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: we're going to stop the president all those things and 637 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: Hillary should win one hundred million zero. Yeah, the FBI saying, 638 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: in its own words, so, but we're really not getting 639 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: to the heart of what I think, Well, where I 640 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: think that the Horowitz report should go, which is premeditative 641 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: fraud perpetrated on the Fiji chort. You think we're getting there, absolutely. 642 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: I think these reports, I think listen, I think there's 643 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: a story being told in pieces right Peter Stroke really 644 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 1: was a bad guy, despite the fact that he tried 645 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,720 Speaker 1: to sue us recently claiming he wasn't he was wrongfully terminated. 646 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: That's not true. That's the first piece to get in place. 647 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,439 Speaker 1: Then a couple of days later, the IG goes and says, 648 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, before I tell you anything about Christopher Steele, 649 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: just know the FBI has been cheating on him. Formants 650 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: are doing bad things with informants for a long time. 651 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: I think Michael Howard's, Bill Barr, John Durham are laying 652 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: the predicate for what's going to be an explosive five 653 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: hundred page report. Five hundred fifty page report is what 654 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: I'm told on all of the misconduct that occurred in 655 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: the FBI investigation. But I think some of these earlier 656 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: reports and ones I'm mentioning are designed to lay the 657 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: foundation for you to understand that there was a culture 658 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: in the FBI of leaking leaking evidence so that you 659 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: could then cite the evidence in your court filing. Custs 660 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: what we're going to find in Russian there was a 661 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: culture of not vetting your informants and looking the other 662 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,439 Speaker 1: way at their flaws, and there was a really bad 663 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 1: guy at the Helm, Peter Stroke, that had the two 664 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: most important cases of the last half century, and this 665 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: guy had political bias and misconduct in security violations. All 666 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: of those were released to set the stage for the 667 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: Fiser Report. But what's interesting You really can't blame this 668 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: though on Peter Struck, can you? Oh, it's my lare 669 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: it goes much higher? Yeah? It has, And that's the point. Yeah, 670 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: because look, it wasn't only it wasn't only Comey. Remember 671 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 1: not only did he work from Muller. Muller took his 672 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: phones and pages phones and oh he sent them back 673 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: to the factory to get cleaned. I wonder why. Yeah, 674 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. Listen, Peter Stroke is the symptom of 675 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: a much more serious and sick FBI, which I think 676 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, James Comey's FBI Andrew 677 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: McKay's FBI is the reason we have this message. Then 678 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: the only question we need to find out is who 679 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: at the CIA, who at the White House? Were they 680 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: communicating these tactics too? But it's one of the thing though, 681 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: that you pointed out in your interpretation of this early 682 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: release is at the vetting of informants like Christopher Steele. 683 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: And remember Steele's docier When they finally did review it, 684 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: they disproved over ninety percent of it. I guess they 685 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: couldn't disprove all one hundred percent of it. But then 686 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: then we've got then we've got to get into that. Well, 687 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: then we got Kathleen Cavlac and Bruce war And I 688 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: think there are as many as five warnings that the 689 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 1: DOJ that would be the FBI, that would be James Comey, 690 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,760 Speaker 1: who signed three of the four FISA applications. The bulk 691 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: of information we're told was the Steele dossier that was 692 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: we now know unverifiable because he didn't stand by his 693 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: own own dossier when when push came to shove in 694 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: an interrogatory. So the vetting of these informants was slammed 695 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,839 Speaker 1: by the Inspector General Harrowitz two. Yeah, And what it 696 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: basically says is there was a culture of hiding derogatory 697 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: information about informants. And now let's go back to why 698 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,800 Speaker 1: that's relevant to Russia. In the footnote, standing by Christopher 699 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: Steele for all four of the FISA warrants that were 700 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: used to spy on Credit Carter Page in the Trump campaign. 701 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 1: They kept saying, the FBI is unaware of any derogatory 702 00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: information about confidential human source one Christopher Steele. Why is 703 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: that important? That is where you have the willful misleading 704 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: of a court. You asked, well, we get there. That's 705 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: how they get there. The FBI was in possession of 706 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: significant derogatory information about Christopher Steele, political bias, hatred for Trump. 707 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: Oh remember it was come himself that went to Trump 708 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: Tower and tried to say, well, this is not verified 709 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: but salacious. But meanwhile, in October the previous year, he 710 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: went and signed the Baizer warrant, so he was lying 711 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 1: to then President of Electrump. Stay right there. John Solomon 712 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: will also be joined by our legal team. We'll get 713 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: into his interpretation of the Ukrainian events as well. All 714 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: of this on Hannity Tonight News. The mob will never 715 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: tell you about all right, final moments this half Howard, 716 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: John Solomon, he'll stay with us, and we'll bring in 717 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett and Jordan Seculo. All right, just your quick 718 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: summary of what's missing in this Ukraine story, because there's 719 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 1: a lot missing here. Yeah, Sean, I think the single 720 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,879 Speaker 1: most important thing you saw all these Ukraine experts prey 721 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: out the the State Department n SC so called experts. 722 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: If all of them knew that the President was looking 723 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: to see if there was an investigation to be done 724 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: on Barisma and Hunter Biden, they all failed to tell 725 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: the President in February. In March of twenty nineteen, Ukraine, 726 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: on its own, with no pressure, chose to reopen the 727 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: investigation of Barisma based on new financial evidence they had. 728 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 1: Why did not a single one of those so called 729 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: experts not tell the president before all of this other 730 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: shenanigans begin. I think it's an extraordinary letdown of this 731 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: career staff that they didn't tell their own president. Mister President, 732 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: you don't need to ask for an investigation. It already 733 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,360 Speaker 1: has been opened based on the merits in Ukraine. That 734 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: is an irrefutable fact. February and March of this year 735 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: they reopened it. Nobody in these hearings has picked up 736 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: that line of questioning. Great point, all right, more with 737 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 1: John Solomon. We'll bring in Jordan Seculo, Greg Jarrett on 738 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: the other side. After you testified, Chairman Shift ran out 739 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: and give him press conference and said he gets to 740 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: impeach the president Night States because of your testament and 741 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,760 Speaker 1: If you pull up CNN today right now, their banner says, 742 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 1: Sillon ties Trump to withholding aid. Is that your testimony today, 743 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: Master Silon, that you have evidence that Donald Trump tied 744 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 1: the investigations the aid, because I don't think you're saying 745 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: that I've said repeatedly, Congressman, I was presuming I also 746 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: said that President Trump, So not just the president. Giuliani 747 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: didn't tell you, Well, Vaney didn't tell you. Nobody, Pompeo 748 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: didn't tell you. Nobody else on this planet told you 749 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was tying aid to these investigations. Is 750 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: that correct? I think I already testified. No answer the question, 751 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: is it correct? No one on this planet told you 752 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was tying this aid to the investigations? 753 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 1: Because if your answers yes, then the chairman's wrong and 754 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: the headline on CNN is wrong. No one on this 755 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: planet told you that President Trump was tying aid to investigations, 756 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: yes or no? Yes, So you really have no testimony 757 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: today that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold 758 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations, other than 759 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: my own presumption, which is nothing. I mean, That's what 760 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 1: I'd undersaid, So you know what hearsay evidence is, Ambassador, 761 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: hearsay is when I testify what someone else told me. 762 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: Do you know what made up testimony is? Made Up 763 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: testimony is when I just presume it. I mean, you're 764 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: just assuming all of these things, and then you're giving 765 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 1: them the evidence that they're running out and doing press conferences. 766 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: And CNN's headline is saying that you're saying the President 767 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: United States should be impeached because he tied aid to investigations. 768 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: And you don't know that, correct. I never said the 769 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 1: President United States should be impeached. Nope, but you did. 770 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: You have left people with the confusing impression that you 771 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: were giving testimony that you did not. You do not 772 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,760 Speaker 1: have any evidence that the President United States was tied 773 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 1: to withholding aid from Ukraine and exchange for investigations. I 774 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: yield back an amazing moment that was Congressman Michael Turner today. Wow, 775 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 1: that just blew that out of the water. And it 776 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 1: shows you how corrupt the well compromised congenital liar is, 777 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: how corrupt fake news CNN is, NBC and every other 778 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: news organization is. You can't be any more clear than that, 779 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 1: can you? It doesn't get any more clear than what 780 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: the witness that they're using is. Woh, Blockbuster has said today, 781 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: this is madness, this is insanity. They will ignore anything 782 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:43,360 Speaker 1: that is exculpatory towards this president, and they'll run with conjecture, 783 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 1: and they'll run with hearsay, and they'll run with I 784 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: don't know. You got a bunch of bureaucrat ambassadors. No, 785 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,279 Speaker 1: no offense to them. I guess they're serving their country. Well, boy, 786 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: they think an awful lot of themselves when they're not 787 00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: the commander in chief either. And on the substance of everything, 788 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: this president was right to say, hey, are you surrounding 789 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: yourself with the same bad people that the prior president 790 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 1: of Ukraine was surrounding himself with, Because if you are, 791 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 1: that's not good. And can you help us do me 792 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 1: a favor, get to the bottom of your country's role 793 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 1: and election interference and any other corruption that was going 794 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 1: on there. And by the way, simultaneously ignoring the real evidence, 795 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,800 Speaker 1: the real quid, the real quo, the real pro with 796 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: Joe and Hunter, zero experience, Hunter, millions of dollars. You're 797 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,240 Speaker 1: not getting the billion, fire the prosecutor, you get the billion. 798 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 1: You got six hours. It doesn't get any more clear 799 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,280 Speaker 1: cut than this, but they try to muddy those waters 800 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,839 Speaker 1: and cherry pick that which they think, Oh, I can 801 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 1: use this to bludgeon Trump again after two and a 802 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: half years of this with Russia that ends in nothing anyway, 803 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: joining us On top of John Solomon, who remains with us. 804 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, of course, he has his best seller out 805 00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 1: as along with Jordan Secular. We put it up on 806 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: Hannity dot com, both of them. Greg, that was to 807 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 1: me one of the defining moments today. Oh, it truly was. 808 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 1: You know, at first I thought Sonlon would say, well, 809 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 1: my presumption was based on what other people told me. 810 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,400 Speaker 1: It's worse than that, as Turner pointed out, it's a 811 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: presumption that he conjured up out of thin air. He 812 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: didn't even get it from anybody else. You know, there 813 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 1: are two main points today, and you certainly heard one 814 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: of them. But the other is that, you know, Sanlon 815 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 1: underscored that the President said to him repeatedly, I want nothing, 816 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 1: I want no quid pro quo. But he also then 817 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 1: made a rather stunning admission when he said, I never 818 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: heard the President say that aid was conditioned on an 819 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:56,959 Speaker 1: announcement of investigations, Why then is it continue here? Why 820 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 1: is this even an issue even at this point that 821 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't be as you know, as my my friend and colleague, uh, 822 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, John Solomon pointed out, this is the you know, 823 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: weapon of mass distractions. They know what's coming down the pike, 824 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 1: the IG report, and this serves as their subterfuge. Jordan's 825 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 1: secular your thoughts, Yeah, well, our takeaway is this, I 826 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: mean to just Builo mcgreg was saying, and then Solomon 827 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 1: gets asked again, did you hear from anyone in the world, 828 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 1: anyone on the planet that this was And he says no, 829 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: and to us, I mean, this was. This was the 830 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: most key moment because it contradicted the entire narrative from 831 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,359 Speaker 1: the beginning of his whole testimony. I mean, I saw 832 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: Kim start talking about you know, Kin start was like, 833 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, his warning the warning labels, and then he 834 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: heard that State said, I can't even believe an ambassador 835 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: of the United States would leave that clear cut of 836 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: a statement out of his opening statement because it is 837 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: literally what everyone has been talking about. Now. I think 838 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,920 Speaker 1: it gets to the point also that the attorney from 839 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,359 Speaker 1: Minority made that this is this is again someone who 840 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 1: takes no notes. He doesn't remember anything, and he can't know. 841 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 1: When he says he can't get other people's documents, I 842 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: want everybody to understand this. It's other people's documents. It's 843 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 1: not he can't get access to his emails and text 844 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 1: messages and his staff. It's he can't get access to 845 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: whatever he wanted the State Department. And you know, he 846 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: decided to not use executive privilege to put himself through this. 847 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 1: I think, as the President said, from what he knows 848 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,439 Speaker 1: from his dealings with him, he's been a pretty good guy. 849 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 1: But you know, as he kind of this is the 850 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 1: only witness who's had the direct interplay with the President 851 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: United States, he's admittedly said he kind of. I mean, 852 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: they really overplayed that interplay and that he kind of 853 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 1: acknowledged that day it wasn't as much as it sounded 854 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: like or he ever they tried to imply it was, 855 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: and then when it was, but also when he spoke 856 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: to anyone else, no one ever said this. He's just 857 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 1: presuming it now. I can understand why, maybe at this 858 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: point lots of people would would presume that because if 859 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 1: you read news crawlers and things like that you can 860 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: start presuming it. So I think it's very clear that 861 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: you make that point for everybody to understand that people 862 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 1: are making this up. This is made up, this is 863 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: this is just taking as thin air, not even basing 864 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 1: in his great sis aint it basically of what someone 865 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,320 Speaker 1: else told him. He didn't. It was one of the 866 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: most stunning moments I think in this whole charade. I 867 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 1: really do. I mean, I'm sitting there and and he's right. 868 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,919 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what the fake DUS media was doing. 869 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 1: And I read the opening statement and I said, Okay, 870 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 1: this doesn't seem right, this doesn't gel with what he 871 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: said in his prior testimony. And then we get to 872 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: the rationale and the reasoning behind it. Well, I just 873 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: was listening to other people, so I put two and 874 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,799 Speaker 1: two together. But yeah, the President did say I don't 875 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 1: want to quit pro quel. The President at no time 876 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 1: ever said there's any link it. He actually said the 877 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: opposite John Solomon, and you know, the White House very cleverly, 878 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,440 Speaker 1: I thought, releasing the actual letter invitation to Zelinsky with 879 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: zero no ties to anything to meet with the President 880 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 1: in the Oval office. Yeah, listen, that's the most important part. 881 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 1: When you get to cases like this, and we're going 882 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 1: to get to a trial perhaps someday in the Senate. 883 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: Facts matter, statements matter, Witness testimony matters, Contemporaneous events and 884 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: evidence matter. The contemporaneous evidence and the primary testimony clearly 885 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 1: indicate the President wanted no quid pro quo tie between 886 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: the aid and the investigations. He wanted investigations for the 887 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 1: reasons he cited, but at the end of the day, 888 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 1: there was no quid pro quo, which is what he's 889 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 1: being charged with in this allegation of bribery or extortion 890 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 1: or whichever term the Democrats have poll tested today. But 891 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, those facts are going 892 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 1: to be very relevant to any trial attorney or any 893 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: jury looking at it, because prior to this point, Greg Jarrett, 894 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:49,320 Speaker 1: all we had were people's interpretations of what they thought 895 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:54,400 Speaker 1: of the transcript, which frankly is meaningless. It's all hearsay. 896 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 1: None of it would be admissible in the Senate, and 897 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that the Chief us as presiding over 898 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: this circus if it gets over there, and I'm assuming 899 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 1: it probably will, because that's how unhanged the Democrats are. 900 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 1: Whatever deny the President and his attorneys his sixth Amendment rights, 901 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,320 Speaker 1: which is the right to confront his accuser. You know, 902 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: if the federal rules of evidence are invoked by the Senate, 903 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: if that's what the majority wants to do, and they should, 904 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, none of these witnesses are going to be 905 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 1: able to testify. The Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is 906 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: bereft of facts. So he's determined to remove the President 907 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 1: from office based purely upon the opinions of others who 908 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: surmised or imagined this quid pro quo that doesn't exist 909 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 1: anywhere in the transcript of the telephone call. And now 910 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 1: we learn from Ambassador Sonlin that the President told him directly, 911 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 1: not once, but twice, there's no quid pro quo, and 912 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 1: that is not tied to anything. And so none of 913 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 1: these people could ever testify. They might, you know, someone 914 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 1: might be able to say, this is what the President 915 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,359 Speaker 1: told me in that telephone conversation. But beyond that, all 916 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: of these witnesses are nothing but rank speculation, conjecture, and hearsay. 917 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 1: You know, this is impeachment by rumor and innuendo. It's unbelievable. Now, 918 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,360 Speaker 1: there was an interesting story that came out today Jordan's 919 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:31,840 Speaker 1: seculo from zero Hedge and it's the headline says a 920 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 1: lot to Ukrainian. Ukrainian indictment claims seven point four billion 921 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: Obama linked laundering, puts Biden group take at sixteen point 922 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: five million dollars for quote their services. You know. One 923 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 1: of the things I'm really having a hard time here 924 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 1: that you know, and I say it off and probably 925 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,399 Speaker 1: repeated too much, is that fire the prosecutor you get 926 00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: the billion. Don't fire him, you don't get the billion. 927 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,359 Speaker 1: He knew as someone was being investigated in a paid 928 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,840 Speaker 1: millions for zero experience that that gets under my skin. 929 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 1: Well it doesn't. This is why trying to base then 930 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 1: impeachment off of Ukrainian foreign policy, which you know, that's 931 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 1: what we've ultimately gotten to, is disputing over policy, and 932 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,440 Speaker 1: when when you get to silence point, it's not even that. 933 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 1: It's like just presumptions over what you think, which almost 934 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 1: sounds like he was setting up the president. I mean, 935 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 1: I haven't just based off kind of how he said. 936 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:22,880 Speaker 1: Why was he calling all these times and kind of 937 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 1: asking it this way? It's like he was asking it 938 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: this way and the presidents screaming back. I don't want 939 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 1: him doing anything like what are you like maybe even 940 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: picking up on this. But but at the same time, 941 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 1: the recklessness here because they've also as we get every 942 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,440 Speaker 1: time that these hearings and every day and anybody's watching 943 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 1: it and the media can't. They can try to cut 944 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: around it when they do their clips later in the day, 945 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: but they can't do it while people watch. Is that 946 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: every day it's coming up to this Biden and these 947 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: questions about why are they even getting involved when you 948 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: when your dad's vice president, why get involved with any 949 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 1: of these companies in Ukraine with the mess that Ukraine 950 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 1: was um and and that if you're going to base 951 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,760 Speaker 1: off Ukraines on either side, I mean it's like listen, 952 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 1: they've going after reporting and John knows this very well 953 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: now going out to report it because he talked to 954 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 1: one Ukrainian and another Ukrainian says this Ukrainians wrong, and 955 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 1: that Ukrainians why it's it's we're also dealing with their 956 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, you can talk to whever you want to 957 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 1: it politics too, but also at level which is very 958 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 1: different from you know, being a reporter to deciding I'm 959 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 1: gonna actually be on their board. But oh, we're not 960 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,360 Speaker 1: going to talk about this now. I think that that's 961 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 1: the recklessness of Democrat. That's how bad they want to 962 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 1: go after presidents from and a lot of these government 963 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 1: officials from both sides of the aisle who work in 964 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 1: the in the bureaucracy, who may have you know, initially 965 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: worked for a Republican and then they worked for a Democrat. 966 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,720 Speaker 1: But you know a lot of them just reading their 967 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: talking points for him. And if you don't read this, 968 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: they're talking points. They try to take you down. And 969 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 1: they don't like this. They don't. I mean, you could 970 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: see they're just they are so upset that they prepare 971 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 1: talking points and this president decide to govern independently. All right, 972 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 1: we'll wrap things up. Amazing developments today. Uh, you know, 973 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you your mob in the media, they 974 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: are so corrupt, they're such liars. They won't even they 975 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 1: won't even tell you about Sonlon's beat down today. They're 976 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,680 Speaker 1: not even going to tell you that. They're not going 977 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 1: to tell you about the ig preliminary report about Peter 978 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 1: Struck and his misconduct and his poor judgment, and or 979 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 1: will they tell you about how the FBI vetting of 980 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 1: informants slammed by Michael Horowitz, or what Attorney General Barr 981 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: had to say. I'm gonna tell you any of this 982 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: so sick, corrupt, it's unbelievable. I wrap the things up. 983 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: We only have to about twenty seconds each. Final thoughts, 984 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 1: John Solomon, twenty seconds. Ukraine is Russia, redo, it's a 985 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: hearsay case. It's going to turn out not to be true. Wow, unbelievable. 986 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, Well, this is an example of how desperate 987 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadler are and 988 00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 1: Democrats at large in the House of Representatives to call 989 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 1: nothing but hearsay witnesses and witnesses who presume things. You know, 990 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 1: that's not evidence, that's garbage. And that's essentially the only 991 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 1: argument that Democrats have against the president. It's based on 992 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 1: junk last word, Jordan's secular last word, Jordan secular. All Right, 993 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: we lost Jordan Seculo. We're gonna have to end it there. John, 994 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, Greg, thank you. We have a massive Hannity 995 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 1: tonight on the Fox News channel. This just blew up. 996 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 1: Is worse than a's like an Adam bomb to the 997 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 1: star witness. They thought they had it all got blown 998 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 1: out of the water. When we come back, I know 999 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 1: a lot of you want to weigh in eight hundred 1000 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 1: and nine four one Sean, you want to be a 1001 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 1: part of the program, quick break right back Hannity at 1002 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 1: nine tonight. This is an amazing day in more ways 1003 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,400 Speaker 1: than I can even tell you. Straight ahead, stay right 1004 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 1: here for our final news round up and information overload 1005 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 1: in the final hour of the Sean On Hannity Show 1006 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,400 Speaker 1: this morning to dedicated public servants speaking truth to power 1007 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 1: in the face of withering public criticism from President Trump 1008 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 1: and his allies. It's absolutely an impressive morning for these witnesses, who, 1009 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 1: as everyone has pointed out, are so clearly fact witnesses. 1010 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 1: These are career professionals, and Vinman struck me as the 1011 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 1: most devastating we've seen in a public hearing to date. 1012 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,880 Speaker 1: This is someone who obviously looks the part is the part. 1013 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Look at him. He's in the uniform of the United 1014 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 1: States Army and he almost was emotional at the end 1015 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 1: of his opening statement. Clearly, these ludicrous accusations don't reflect 1016 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 1: committee members who are honestly searching for the truth. They 1017 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: are the actions of partisan extremists who hijacked the Intelligence Committee, 1018 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:53,440 Speaker 1: transformed it into the Impeachment Committee, abandoned its core oversight functions, 1019 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 1: and turned it into a beachhead for austin an elected 1020 01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 1: president from office. You have to keep that histin mind 1021 01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:07,480 Speaker 1: as you consider the Democrats' latest catalog of supposed Trump outrageous. Granted, 1022 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 1: a friendly call with the Ukrainian president wouldn't seem to 1023 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 1: rise to the same level as being a Russian agent, 1024 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,880 Speaker 1: but the Democrats were running out of time. If they 1025 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 1: waited any longer, their impeachment circus would intervene with their 1026 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 1: own candidates twenty campaigns. So you have to give them 1027 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 1: points for creativity in selling this absurdity as an impeachable offense. 1028 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 1: All this explains why the Democrats have gathered zero Republicans 1029 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 1: support in the House of Representatives for their impeachment crusade. 1030 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,040 Speaker 1: In fact, the vote we held was a bipartisan vote 1031 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 1: against this impeachment inquiry. Speaker Pelosi, Chairmanship and Chairman Nadler, 1032 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: the key figures behind this impeachment crusade, all proclaimed that 1033 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 1: impeachment is so damaging to the country that it can 1034 01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:02,560 Speaker 1: only proceed with bipartisan support. Are those declarations suddenly no 1035 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 1: longer true. Did impeachment become less divisive? Of course not. 1036 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 1: They know exactly what kind of damage they're inflicting on 1037 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 1: this nation that they've passed the point of no return. 1038 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 1: The Democrats have zeroed in on an anonymous whistleblower complaint 1039 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:22,920 Speaker 1: there was cooked up in cooperation with the Democrats on 1040 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 1: this very committee. They lied to the American people about 1041 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:31,640 Speaker 1: that cooperation and refuse to let us question the whistleblower 1042 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 1: to discover the truth. Meanwhile, the Democrats lash out against 1043 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 1: anyone who questions or cast doubt on this spectacle. When 1044 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Zelenski denies anything and proper happened on the 1045 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 1: phone call, the Democrats say that he's a liar. When 1046 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: journalists report on Ukraine election meddling and Hunter Biden's position 1047 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 1: on the board of corrupt Ukrainian companies, the Democrats lay 1048 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:04,960 Speaker 1: them conspiracy theorists. When the Democrats can't get any traction 1049 01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: for their allegations of quit pro quo, they moved the 1050 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 1: goalposts and accused the president of extortion, then bribery, and 1051 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: at last resort obstruction of justice. The American people sent 1052 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,680 Speaker 1: us to Washington to solve problems, not to wage, scorched 1053 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:28,040 Speaker 1: earth political warfare against the other party. This impeachment is 1054 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,560 Speaker 1: not helping the American people, it's not a legitimate use 1055 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 1: of taxpayer dollars, and it's definitely not improving our national security. 1056 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,440 Speaker 1: All right. That was Devin Nounez the hearings earlier today. 1057 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,800 Speaker 1: No matter what the mob and the media says, this 1058 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:48,640 Speaker 1: is what we know, Sonlon said. He outlined the epidemic 1059 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 1: of corruption that is the country of Ukraine in great detail. 1060 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 1: He repeated again and again, nobody ever told me that 1061 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: AID was tied to anything. His opening statement even made 1062 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: clear that President Trump never once discussed a quid pro 1063 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:11,040 Speaker 1: quo and he couldn't be more clear when asked about 1064 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:16,160 Speaker 1: this very issue. Yeah, no, I just presume this. No, 1065 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: I did not hear from the president, you know, when 1066 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 1: he was asked, he said in his opening remarks, I 1067 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,400 Speaker 1: was acting good good faith as a president appointee, and 1068 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 1: he said, I want nothing the president when he talked 1069 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: to the President, I want no quid, no pro and 1070 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,919 Speaker 1: no quo. He had no knowledge to acknowledge of why 1071 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 1: AID was withheld, and yet we're still back at the 1072 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:44,520 Speaker 1: same point. You know, he comments well about why AID 1073 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 1: was withheld. I'm just guessing. Well, guessing isn't real evidence. 1074 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:54,000 Speaker 1: As we've been pointing out here, it is amazing that 1075 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 1: this is where they have now taken us. Nor do 1076 01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 1: they care about the security and safety of the American people. 1077 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 1: No evidence of a link between security AID and the 1078 01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: public statement, none whatsoever. Now there's three separate times that 1079 01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 1: President Trump offered an unconditional White House visit to President Zelensky. 1080 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:19,120 Speaker 1: Three times. Sonlon couldn't be any more clear. The President 1081 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,920 Speaker 1: was not involved in any of this. He discussed it 1082 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,720 Speaker 1: over and over again today, Voker the same thing. All 1083 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 1: these other people tested the same thing. They didn't know 1084 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,760 Speaker 1: why there was any hold, But the President was clear 1085 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 1: in his discussion with Zolensky that the reason is is 1086 01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,680 Speaker 1: because yeah, you better not be involved, but the same 1087 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 1: people the last president, because that's going to be really 1088 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 1: bad for you. Anyway. Bill O'Reilly is with us. Get 1089 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 1: his thoughts on this. Bill O'Reilly dot com is best 1090 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 1: selling book, The United States of Trump How the President 1091 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 1: Really sees America top bestseller. How are you, sir? I'm 1092 01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 1: confused day. Do I need to help you? Do we 1093 01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: need to get you a shrink? O'Reilly. You need to 1094 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,040 Speaker 1: get me more than that. You know, I'm a simple man. 1095 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,480 Speaker 1: I've always been a simple man. But no, no, you're 1096 01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 1: anything but a simple man. You're a simple man club. 1097 01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 1: So you're a complicated guy. I don't know why I 1098 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 1: have to watch thirty six hours of this. I don't. 1099 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:26,440 Speaker 1: I much rather watch Doctor Phil or Judge Judy did 1100 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 1: knocking off all my favorite shows. So I wrote in 1101 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 1: the United States of Trump, and this is essential for 1102 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,400 Speaker 1: everybody to understand that Donald Trump feels that he is 1103 01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,080 Speaker 1: a victim of people who wanted to destroy him and 1104 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 1: his campaign, and those people were harbored by the Obama administration. 1105 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,800 Speaker 1: By the way, is he right, We'll see because his 1106 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:53,040 Speaker 1: Justice Department is investigating that as we speak. So he 1107 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,880 Speaker 1: feels he's a victim, and he's obsessed with writing the 1108 01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,960 Speaker 1: wrong he believes was delivered to him. That's what this 1109 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 1: is all about. Nothing more so. In the pursuit of 1110 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 1: exposing the wrong he believes happened to him. He makes 1111 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,800 Speaker 1: a call to the President of Ukraine's Lynsky and he says, 1112 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 1: do me a favor. All right, you're the new guy, 1113 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 1: the new sheriff investigate all of his stuff that I'm 1114 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 1: hearing is really bad about how Ukraine tried to interfere 1115 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: in the election and how Joe Biden and his son 1116 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 1: conducted themselves in your country. Let me know what happened. 1117 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 1: He did it, There's no question. It's in the transcript. 1118 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 1: He did it. But if you look at the context 1119 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 1: that his thought process is, I have to expose all 1120 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,360 Speaker 1: of this corruption that happened in the twenty sixteen election, 1121 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense. And he's entitled to do it 1122 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 1: because he's the chief law enforcement officer of America. He's 1123 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 1: in charge of the Justice Department. He's entitled and under 1124 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 1: the law, and I've just looked it up, he can't 1125 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:02,640 Speaker 1: allow foreign aid to flow to a country that he 1126 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:06,880 Speaker 1: believes or his administration believes is corrupt. He can't, by 1127 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 1: law do that. So here's what I don't understand. And 1128 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:11,800 Speaker 1: maybe you can explain this to me, because you're much 1129 01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,680 Speaker 1: smarter than I am. By the way, Bill o'reiley has 1130 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 1: been such a wise ass right now. You are. I'm 1131 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 1: a sup I'm a simple man. You're not simple, Hannity. 1132 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,720 Speaker 1: You're much smarter than I am. You're so full of 1133 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: crape radio stations. I only have two hundred, I got 1134 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,439 Speaker 1: six twenty five, all right, six. Well look that means 1135 01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:37,600 Speaker 1: you're three times smarter than me. Okay, all right, So 1136 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,720 Speaker 1: why doesn't he and we talked about this last week, 1137 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 1: and you tell me why he doesn't do it. Just 1138 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,200 Speaker 1: go out and say what I just said. Just listen 1139 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,720 Speaker 1: to the Hannity O'Reilly discourse and say just what I 1140 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,000 Speaker 1: just said, because it's absolutely true. He told me this 1141 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,040 Speaker 1: for the book to the United States and Trumpets in 1142 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,320 Speaker 1: the book that was way before any of this dog 1143 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 1: and Pony show. Let me read something to you. What 1144 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,080 Speaker 1: So if we go back to the transcript, and by 1145 01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,280 Speaker 1: the way, there are two transcripts, and now we have 1146 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,759 Speaker 1: three separate invitations with no conditions of the President inviting 1147 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: Zelenska to the White House. But if you go back 1148 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 1: to the original transcript, which you know all these people 1149 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 1: are commenting on President Trump in the very paragraph where 1150 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 1: he said, you know, I'd like you to do us 1151 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: a favor, you know, because our country has been through 1152 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,120 Speaker 1: a lot. Ukraine knows a lot about it, and they 1153 01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,839 Speaker 1: we now know, they were involved up to their eyeballs. 1154 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 1: But and then he says, I think you're surrounding yourself 1155 01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 1: with some of the same people I would write. And 1156 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 1: so that is that is the reason enough to hold 1157 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,240 Speaker 1: up aid to see what's going to happen. So why 1158 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 1: not explain all this? Why do I have to look 1159 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,920 Speaker 1: at the lieutenant colonel up there and I have to 1160 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 1: look at some woman who knew somebody had heard an overcall? 1161 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 1: Why do I have to listen to this? Just go out, 1162 01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,639 Speaker 1: you're the resident, look into the camera and explain what happened. 1163 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 1: And that's it. You know, if he did that, that 1164 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 1: would undercut all of this bull It would make it. 1165 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,759 Speaker 1: It wouldn't make it go away, because Shift and Pelosi 1166 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,640 Speaker 1: are never going to stop until the Senate says, no, 1167 01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: we're not going to remove a president because it's your opinion. 1168 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: He tried to do this for self gain. But there's 1169 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 1: enough evidence that says this was perfectly legitimate. Line And 1170 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not little bo peep thinking that 1171 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump didn't want to get dirt on Joe Biden. 1172 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 1: He did. But did he use the power of his 1173 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,680 Speaker 1: office to do something corrupt thing to get that. No, 1174 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 1: he asked for a favor, a favor, and the favor 1175 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,640 Speaker 1: was in context of an investigation that is going on 1176 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,000 Speaker 1: now in the Justice Department. If he would just do this, 1177 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this whole thing would evaporate. Let me 1178 01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,960 Speaker 1: point out two things that I've been telling the audience 1179 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,719 Speaker 1: all day. There was a court decision bill in Ukraine. Actually, 1180 01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,519 Speaker 1: even the New York Times wrote about it that their 1181 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:03,600 Speaker 1: headline was Ukraine rules Manafort disclosure caused quote meddling in 1182 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,640 Speaker 1: US election. The court in Ukraine in a statement that 1183 01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,200 Speaker 1: they issued at the time, they had the head of 1184 01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,679 Speaker 1: the National Anti Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and they released 1185 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:18,800 Speaker 1: the information and they said that the violation resulted in 1186 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,640 Speaker 1: meddling in the electoral process of the United States in 1187 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and damaged the national interests of Ukraine. Stay 1188 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:31,440 Speaker 1: with me one second. Politico January eleven, twenty seventeen, headline 1189 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 1: Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire. Heev officials scrambling to 1190 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,640 Speaker 1: make amends with the president elect after quietly working to 1191 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,719 Speaker 1: boost Clinton. Donald Trump was not the only presidential candidate 1192 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 1: whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet 1193 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:52,200 Speaker 1: Bloc country. Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton 1194 01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:56,599 Speaker 1: and undermined Donald Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. 1195 01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:02,040 Speaker 1: They also disseminated documents implicating it a top Trump aide 1196 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:06,719 Speaker 1: in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only 1197 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,720 Speaker 1: to back away after the election. Then it goes on 1198 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,960 Speaker 1: to talk about Alexander Chloopa, Ukrainian American who met with 1199 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 1: top officials at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington in quote 1200 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:22,080 Speaker 1: an effort to expose ties between Trump and a top 1201 01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:27,000 Speaker 1: campaign aide, Paul Manafort, and Russia. The Ukrainian efforts had 1202 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 1: an impact on the twenty sixteen race, having forced manaforts resignation. 1203 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,479 Speaker 1: So the President is saying, because I thought Democrats cared 1204 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:41,120 Speaker 1: bill about foreign election interference, a Ukrainian court and Politico 1205 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 1: admitted it all happened, and we know what happened. Yeah, 1206 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 1: it happened. Look, this is so complicated that no American 1207 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 1: outside of the people like you and me who are 1208 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,640 Speaker 1: paid to do this can follow it. Nobody can follow it. 1209 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,479 Speaker 1: I just want to break it down. There's no doubt 1210 01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:03,160 Speaker 1: Ukraine tried to help Hillary. Donald Trump angry about that. 1211 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump wants that exposed. And if Joe Biden was 1212 01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 1: a part of that, which he could have been, he 1213 01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 1: wants that exposed. He has a right to withhold any 1214 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,680 Speaker 1: foreign aid if he believes the country is corrupt. He 1215 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 1: asked the Lynsky to please investigate what happened, all right, 1216 01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:24,800 Speaker 1: and then tell the world that's the right thing, that's 1217 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,679 Speaker 1: the right thing to do. But stay there, Oh, very rational, Trump, 1218 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: say the dealmaker, this is what he does. All right? 1219 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,280 Speaker 1: Hang on one second, Bell, We'll take a break when 1220 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,400 Speaker 1: we come back.

This is amazing, Oh my gosh. Well, 1260 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:46,000 Speaker 1: unfortunately Congressman Turner, who was amazing today and Kyra has 1261 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 1: been Jim Jordan who was amazing today. They blew the 1262 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 1: entire narrative out of the water, which should end the 1263 01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:59,720 Speaker 1: entire witch hunt, which should end the madness. But it's 1264 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: not going to because they're that corrupt, they're that dishonest. 1265 01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:08,840 Speaker 1: Coupled with, of course, you know, a little side note 1266 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,599 Speaker 1: the unbelievable statements now, the little preview we're getting from 1267 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 1: Michael Horowitz as it relates to Peter Struck, the FBI, 1268 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 1: their vetting of informants like Christopher still basically saying that, yeah, 1269 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,240 Speaker 1: Hannity was right that they used the bulk of information 1270 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 1: from a guy that was corrupt, that had an agenda 1271 01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:36,479 Speaker 1: that gave you literally unverifiable material, and you used it 1272 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,960 Speaker 1: to spy on a presidential candidate transition team and President Well, 1273 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:45,080 Speaker 1: let's go back to where we started, Michael Turner, Jim Jordan. 1274 01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 1: It ended today, no matter, this was their day, and 1275 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,920 Speaker 1: it is like an Adam bomb dropped in that room 1276 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:57,680 Speaker 1: today after you testified, Chairman shift right out and give 1277 01:17:57,720 --> 01:17:59,840 Speaker 1: a press conference and said he gets to impeza the president. 1278 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,320 Speaker 1: It's because of your testimony. And if you pull up 1279 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:06,400 Speaker 1: CNN today right now, their banner says, Soillon ties Trump 1280 01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:10,679 Speaker 1: to withholding AID. Is that your testimony today, Master Silon, 1281 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:15,440 Speaker 1: that you have evidence that Donald Trump tied the investigations 1282 01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:17,639 Speaker 1: to AID, because I don't think you're saying that. I've 1283 01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 1: said repeatedly, Congressman, I was presuming I also said that 1284 01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,559 Speaker 1: President Trump. So no, not just the President. Giuliani didn't 1285 01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 1: tell you, Well, Vaney didn't tell you, nobody, Pompeo didn't 1286 01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,680 Speaker 1: tell you. Nobody else on this planet told you that 1287 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:38,839 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was tying AID to these investigations. Is that correct? 1288 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,360 Speaker 1: I think I already testified. No answer the question, is 1289 01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,479 Speaker 1: it correct? No one on this planet told you that 1290 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was tying this aid to the investigations, because 1291 01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: if your answers yes, then the chairman's wrong and the 1292 01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,080 Speaker 1: headline on CNN is wrong. No one on this planet 1293 01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,320 Speaker 1: told you that President Trump was tying aid to investigations, 1294 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:03,080 Speaker 1: yes or no? Yes? So you really have no testimony 1295 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:07,599 Speaker 1: today that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold 1296 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:12,439 Speaker 1: aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations, other than 1297 01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: my own presumption, which is nothing. I mean, that's what 1298 01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 1: i'd not said. So you know what hearsay evidence is, ambassador, 1299 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,560 Speaker 1: hearsay is when I testify what someone else told me. 1300 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 1: Do you know what made up testimony is? Made Up 1301 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,200 Speaker 1: testimony is when I just presume it. I mean, you're 1302 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,760 Speaker 1: just assuming all of these things, and then you're giving 1303 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 1: them the evidence that they're running out and doing press conferences. 1304 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,639 Speaker 1: And CNN's headline is saying that you're saying the President 1305 01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,200 Speaker 1: United States should be impeached because he tied aid to investigations, 1306 01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 1: and you don't know that, correct. I never said the 1307 01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 1: President United States should be impeached. Nope, but you did. 1308 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: You have left people with the confusing impression that you 1309 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,040 Speaker 1: were giving testimony that you did not. You do not 1310 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,880 Speaker 1: have any evidence that the President United States was tied 1311 01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,960 Speaker 1: to withholding aid from Ukraine and exchange for investigations. I 1312 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 1: yield back, Ambassador, When did it happen? When did what happen? 1313 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:04,120 Speaker 1: The announcement? When did President Zalinski announced that the investigations 1314 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,160 Speaker 1: were going to happen? On page fourteen, you said this 1315 01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 1: was there a quick pro code. Today's your opening statement. 1316 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,639 Speaker 1: As I testified previously with regards to the requested White 1317 01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,640 Speaker 1: House call White House meeting, The answer is yes, that 1318 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,320 Speaker 1: they didn't need to be a public statement from President Zelensky. 1319 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,040 Speaker 1: When the chairman asked you about the security assistance dollars, 1320 01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 1: you said there needed to be a public announcement from Zelenski. 1321 01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 1: So I'm asking you a simple question, When did that happen? 1322 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:31,000 Speaker 1: Never did? Never did? They got the call July twenty fifth, 1323 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:32,920 Speaker 1: They got the meeting, not in the White House but 1324 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 1: in New York on September twenty fifth, They got the 1325 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:39,720 Speaker 1: money on September eleventh, when the meeting happened again, never did. 1326 01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,080 Speaker 1: You don't know who was in the meeting. Which meeting 1327 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 1: are you referring the meeting that never happened? Who was 1328 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 1: in it? You know? How do you know how Zalinsk 1329 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,040 Speaker 1: you know how Zalinski announced it? Did he tweet it? 1330 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 1: Did he do a press statement, did he do a 1331 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 1: press conference? You know how that happened? I mean you 1332 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 1: you got all three of them wrong. They get the call, 1333 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:05,200 Speaker 1: they get the meeting, they get the money. It's not 1334 01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 1: two plus two, it's oh for three. I mean, I've 1335 01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,360 Speaker 1: never seen anything like this. And you told mister Castor 1336 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,800 Speaker 1: that the President never told you that the announcement had 1337 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,560 Speaker 1: to happen to get anything. In fact, he didn't just 1338 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 1: not tell you that. He explicitly said the opposite. This 1339 01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 1: blew everything out of the water today. And you know 1340 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,679 Speaker 1: when I was listening, I gotta tell you, Mike Turner, 1341 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,840 Speaker 1: he will be with us on Hannity tonight. One of 1342 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:45,640 Speaker 1: the most spectacular moments I have ever seen happened in 1343 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:51,240 Speaker 1: a Washington hearing and followed up by Jim Jordan. Okay, 1344 01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,360 Speaker 1: when did they make the announcement? When did they make 1345 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 1: the announcement meeting? When did they say they were going 1346 01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:01,280 Speaker 1: to investigate election interference? And a resma and Hunter and 1347 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: Joe That never happened either. And the point is they 1348 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,800 Speaker 1: got the money. That means there was no quid, There 1349 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,400 Speaker 1: was no quo, and there was no pro there is 1350 01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:17,759 Speaker 1: one with Joe. It never happened. The four facts never changed, 1351 01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:23,080 Speaker 1: do they? As Jordan always says, I, we are at 1352 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 1: a moment, a precipice in time where you have to 1353 01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: suspend all intellectual thought, honesty, fundamental fairness, objectivity, and you 1354 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,200 Speaker 1: have to be willing to go along with will forget Joe, 1355 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 1: Biden and Hunter the real quid pro quo. That's all proven, 1356 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,960 Speaker 1: it's all available, all the evidence, and you have to 1357 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:56,479 Speaker 1: infer that something happened here that didn't happen but was 1358 01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,080 Speaker 1: way below the level of what we know happened with them. 1359 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 1: No reason, no common sense, bifer kate, your brain cut 1360 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:11,120 Speaker 1: off all connection to objective truth, compartmentalize all of this 1361 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,799 Speaker 1: and justify it because of a rage and a hatred 1362 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:21,000 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. This is a spectacular moment that has 1363 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:26,680 Speaker 1: been captured today. It's spectacular. It was like, you know 1364 01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,040 Speaker 1: you're reading this, you're hearing this, the innuend of the 1365 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,519 Speaker 1: thought I pieced together. Hearsay, Yeah, I talked to the 1366 01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,920 Speaker 1: Oh no he never did it. No no, no, he said, 1367 01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:37,280 Speaker 1: and then he goes on to explain again and again, 1368 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, the president was clear that he didn't 1369 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:43,000 Speaker 1: want to quit pro quel. How many times does he 1370 01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 1: have to say this? And then you got the what 1371 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:54,920 Speaker 1: did I say? Corrupt, compromised, coward and congenital liar racing 1372 01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 1: out in the middle of the hearings to the cameras. 1373 01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 1: We got him fake news, CNN, n MB's and ABC, 1374 01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: all of them doing the same thing we are. This 1375 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:14,000 Speaker 1: is this is beyond now any you know, journalism being dead, No, 1376 01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:20,000 Speaker 1: it's We've got we've got activism, propaganda. We've got propta 1377 01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:24,680 Speaker 1: in the media that is widespread. We've got propagandists, we've 1378 01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 1: got conspiracy theorists, We've got hoaxes, We've got lies, we've 1379 01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:33,479 Speaker 1: got misinformation, we got smears, slander, bespirchment. That's that's that's 1380 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:37,439 Speaker 1: the news media today because they don't like Donald Trump 1381 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 1: at all. Very very it's actually frightening that you can 1382 01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:48,160 Speaker 1: have so many people buy into a lie. The lie 1383 01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 1: is the truth, The truth is a lie, because that's 1384 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,719 Speaker 1: the spectacular level of hypocrisy that you've got to absorb 1385 01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,560 Speaker 1: to do this. You've got to you've you've got to 1386 01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 1: literally you I assume you can't look at yourself with 1387 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: a mirror and be honest, because if you're honest, you're 1388 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:09,759 Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, Joe quid pro and quot zero experience 1389 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,519 Speaker 1: Hunter paid millions. There. It is firing you get a billion. 1390 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,000 Speaker 1: You don't fire me, you don't get a billion. And 1391 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:16,760 Speaker 1: here you have their number one witness, the only guy 1392 01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 1: up to this point that wasn't assuming, that wasn't basing 1393 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:25,720 Speaker 1: their comments off a transcript that was, you know, their opinions, hearsay. 1394 01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 1: The first guy I actually talked to Trump, Yeah, he 1395 01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:31,560 Speaker 1: was very clear. No quid, no pro, no quo. Yeah. No, 1396 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 1: what what Chiff said is a lie. That's not true. 1397 01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 1: None of that is true. Because Chip was saying that 1398 01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:42,519 Speaker 1: you're testifying that you're tying Donald Trump to AID. Well, 1399 01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:45,680 Speaker 1: I was just presuming that I nobody nobody told you 1400 01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump didn't tell you. Mc mulvaney didn't tell you. 1401 01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:53,160 Speaker 1: Secretary Pompeo didn't tell you that any aid is tied 1402 01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:56,439 Speaker 1: to the actions ye, and nobody said that. Ever, if 1403 01:25:56,479 --> 01:26:00,320 Speaker 1: you got a chairman congenital liar lying to the American people, 1404 01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,160 Speaker 1: and you got a news media that are their accomplices, 1405 01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:06,320 Speaker 1: that's what we proved today on a spectacular level. Maybe 1406 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 1: I should be happy, not happy to see this happening 1407 01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,519 Speaker 1: to this country. No, I'm not anyway, Let's get to 1408 01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,280 Speaker 1: our phones here. You've been very patient. I know a 1409 01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: lot of you have.

We're glad you called. Thank you, Sean. You 1412 01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 1: have to put you in a mindset of a Democrat 1413 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 1: and think like them, and that just disgusts me to 1414 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,400 Speaker 1: drop to that level. But I think I see this 1415 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,639 Speaker 1: ultimate endgame that they're after. They want Trump, they want Pence, 1416 01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:40,800 Speaker 1: and then they delegitimize his whole his whole presidency, and 1417 01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:45,240 Speaker 1: they want this true Supreme Court justices removed and all 1418 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:50,000 Speaker 1: federal appointments that he has made. Ultimately, that's where they're headed. 1419 01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:54,400 Speaker 1: Have they done anything to help our safety and security? 1420 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:57,639 Speaker 1: Have they done anything to help our economy, create jobs, 1421 01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 1: create prosperity for the American people?

I'm corn and soybean farmer in 1426 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,920 Speaker 1: South Dakota. Now you're probably not gonna believe what's about 1427 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 1: to come out of my mouth. I want. I'm about 1428 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:19,760 Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I you know what I 1429 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,960 Speaker 1: wish many days I wish I was you.

And he starts off talking about the farmers. 1443 01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:07,120 Speaker 1: He does maybe maybe maybe thirty minutes down the speech 1444 01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 1: will give you one sentence and then you've forgotten about 1445 01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 1: Not with President Trump, I'll never leave the man. Never. 1446 01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,400 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people out here, a majority 1447 01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 1: big time majority are the same way. Yeah, have we've 1448 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,200 Speaker 1: been pinched, you bet. But President Trump has done some 1449 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,040 Speaker 1: things with the tariff money to help US farmers out, 1450 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,479 Speaker 1: and we don't forget those things.

And what I've been trying to understand in 1459 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:49,679 Speaker 1: the past couple of days is what is the Democrats 1460 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:51,799 Speaker 1: endgame here? Because right now they kind of can control 1461 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:55,080 Speaker 1: the process. But mister Stuker, the Democrats want to kick 1462 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:56,920 Speaker 1: this over to the Senate, which they have the votes 1463 01:28:56,960 --> 01:29:00,280 Speaker 1: to do. So what's the end game? Because now open 1464 01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:04,000 Speaker 1: up Hunter Biden, Joe Biden had him shift to potentially 1465 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,240 Speaker 1: have to testify. All right, listen, I love the other 1466 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 1: side of this, just like you know. I mean, we've 1467 01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 1: been in a way, we're on defense for these many weeks. 1468 01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 1: But the Horowitz thing is going to put us on 1469 01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:17,000 Speaker 1: offense number one, and the Senate is not going to 1470 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:22,320 Speaker 1: allow hearsay. And your opinions don't matter. Facts matter, truth matters, 1471 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:27,240 Speaker 1: the rule of law matters, the Sixth Amendment matters. Yeah, 1472 01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,880 Speaker 1: the circus will end in the Senate. And I just 1473 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 1: hope that in three hundred and forty nine days. And 1474 01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 1: you can help me out, Eric, because you're in a 1475 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 1: state that Donald Trump desperately needs to win. Yeah, I'm 1476 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,000 Speaker 1: just I hope in three hundred forty nine days, every 1477 01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:45,720 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers supporters out there supporting the president. Well, yeah, 1478 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean the other thing, too, is is how can 1479 01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,679 Speaker 1: they risk? So Joe Biden's called the tests, testify, he's 1480 01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: off the campaign trail. What happens to a Warren? What 1481 01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:57,840 Speaker 1: happens to Harris? What happens to you know, every Sanders? Well, 1482 01:29:57,840 --> 01:29:59,240 Speaker 1: I can tell you what I think is going on, 1483 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 1: you really want to. I think I think that the 1484 01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 1: Obama machine has determined that Joe Biden can't cut it. 1485 01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,360 Speaker 1: Warren and Sanders aren't going to cut it, and Buddha 1486 01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,120 Speaker 1: Judge who's in the lead now in Iowa New Hampshire, 1487 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:14,240 Speaker 1: can't cut it. So there now, Axelrod Obama's comments that 1488 01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:16,479 Speaker 1: the two extreme this week, it's all planned out. I 1489 01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,120 Speaker 1: think their plan is to hope and pray that they 1490 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,519 Speaker 1: can push the bal Patrick into that position. That's what 1491 01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:24,479 Speaker 1: I think is really going on. I'll be in the 1492 01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:27,840 Speaker 1: thick of it in Milwaukee for the Circus DNC next year, 1493 01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:32,439 Speaker 1: So yes, sir, I'll be there. I'll be there. How's 1494 01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:35,320 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers doing all right? Yeah? You singing in there? 1495 01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,240 Speaker 1: Are you an owner of the team like everybody else 1496 01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:43,559 Speaker 1: at Wisconsin? No, not me, not one of the thousands. Unfortunately. Well, 1497 01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:47,040 Speaker 1: thank you for your call. All the best, sir, Democrats 1498 01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:49,280 Speaker 1: get blown up at the hearings. We've got all the 1499 01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:51,519 Speaker 1: coverage the mob and the media will never tell you. 1500 01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:55,080 Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham, Kevin McCarthy, Mike Turner was a rock star, 1501 01:30:55,680 --> 01:31:00,599 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows who's been unbelievable, Alan Dershowitz, Match Schlap, Greg Jared, 1502 01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:05,519 Speaker 1: John Solomon, and much more.
