THAT IS THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S

ANGLE.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ENDING

TRUMP'S FIRST TERM WHERE IT

BEGAN WITH THE RESISTANCE,

GOVERNMENT LEAKING INCOMPLETE

INFORMATION WITH THE WORST

POSSIBLE SPIN ON IT.

ALL DONE TO ENSNARE THE

PRESIDENT AND ANOTHER MAJOR

COSTLY INVESTIGATION.

AND IN JANUARY 2017 IT WAS COMEY

AND THE DEEP STATE.

SEPTEMBER 2019, IT IS NANCY AND

THE WHISTLE-BLOWER CASE.

>> TODAY, I'M ANNOUNCING THE

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE WITH AN

OFFICIAL IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.

THE PRESIDENT MUST BE HELD

ACCOUNTABLE.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

>> AS OF THIS HOUR, ZERO

REPUBLICANS BUT AT LEAST

179 HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE IN FAVOR

OF IMPEACHMENT.

AND WHY?

BECAUSE OF WHISTLE-BLOWER

REPORTEDLY CLAIMED THE PRESIDENT

USED WITH WITHDRAWING AID FROM

UKRAINE TO PRESSURE THAT COUNTRY

INTO INVESTIGATING JOE BIDEN AND

HIS SON.

NOW, THE IRONY IS THAT THE CASE

TRUMP WANTED INVESTIGATED

INVOLVED BIDEN HIMSELF

THREATENING TO WITHHOLD ONE

BILLION-DOLLAR AID PACKAGE TO

UKRAINE IF SUPPOSEDLY A CORRUPT

PROSECUTOR WASN'T FIRED.

YET HE BRAGGED ABOUT IT.

WELL THAT PROSECUTOR WAS

INVESTIGATING THE COMPANY ON

WHOSE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, HUNTER

BIDEN SAT.

AND ALSO BOATLOADS OF CASH THEY

PAID HIM.

OH, THAT FACT THAT GLOSSED OVER

BY THEM MOB MEDIA TODAY, THE

WHISTLE-BLOWER HAS NO FIRST-HAND

KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRESIDENT'S

CONVERSATION.

OH, BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS.

>> THE ACTIONS TO DATE BY THE

PRESIDENT HAVE SERIOUSLY

VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION.

>> I THINK WHAT IS GOING ON IS

THE PRESIDENT COMMITTED SEVERAL

IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.

>> THESE HORRIBLE OBVIOUSLY

IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.

>> HE IS THE MOST CORRUPT

PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

>> Laura: NOW, HE HAS, THE

DEMOCRATS IF NOTHING ELSE, THEY

NO DRAMA.

CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS KICKED

OFF TODAY'S FESTIVITIES POURING

ON THE EMOTION.

>> TODAY, I SAY WITH A HEAVY

HEART, DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT

THE FUTURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY.

AND I'M NOT ALONE.

THE WIND THIS AND SEND AN AIRY

DRUMBEAT HAD THIS EFFECT ALL DAY

LONG ON THE MARKET.

AND RECOVERED AFTER THE

WHITE HOUSE SAID IT WOULD

RELEASE UNREDACTED TRANSCRIPT OF

THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT.

BUT THEN IT SUNK BACK BY THE END

OF THE DAY WHEN INVESTORS

ANTICIPATED PELOSI'S BIG

IMPEACHMENT ANNOUNCEMENT.

>> YOU CALLED FOR IMPEACHMENT

HITTING WALL STREET SLAMS AFTER

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN JOHN

LEWIS CALLED TO BEGIN

IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST

THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.

NANCY PELOSI MEETING BEHIND

CLOSED DOORS WITH THE HOUSE

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS WITH SPEAKER

TO HOLD A NEWS CONFERENCE

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT

MEETING.

>> Laura: NOW, THE MOST

SICKENING THING ABOUT THE PHASE,

AND IT IS A PHASE THAT WE ARE

ABOUT TO ENTER, IS THAT HOUSE

DEMOCRATS, THEY KNOW

IMPEACHMENT, THE WHOLE INQUIRY

IS FUTILE.

THE SENATE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY

IS NOT GOING TO VOTE TO CONVICT

THE PRESIDENT AND THE COUNTRY

OVERWHELMINGLY DOES NOT WANT

IMPEACHMENT.

WHAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE DO WANT

IS A CONTINUATION OF WHAT THE

PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY DELIVERED

TO AMERICA.

PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

THE TRUTH IS, DESPITE ALL OF THE

DIRE PREDICTIONS OF A LOOMING

TRUMP RECESSION THAT STARTED AT

THE HAND OF LAST YEAR, THAT

SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

SO DEMOCRATS ARE IN AN

UNENVIABLE POSITION GOING INTO

2020.

THAT IS WHY THEY COULD NOT

MENTION THE ECONOMY AT ALL AT

THE LAST DEBATE.

INSTEAD IT WAS ALL HE'S A

RACIST, WHITE NATIONALIST, AND

OTHER PERSONAL ATTACKS.

ANYTHING BUT A SERIOUS

DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD

OUTPERFORM TRUMP'S ECONOMY.

>> LOW, IT IS JUST A

CONTINUATION OF A WITCH HUNT.

THE WORST IN HISTORY.

THE STRONGEST ECONOMY THAT WE'VE

EVER HAD TO COME WITH THE,

AFRICAN-AMERICAN, ASIAN

AMERICAN, HISPANIC-AMERICAN, THE

LOWEST IN HISTORY, AND THEY WILL

LOSE THE ELECTION.

THEY FIGURE THIS IS THE WAY TO

DO IT.

>> Laura: WHY WITH THE

DEMOCRATS RISK DESTROYING THE

BEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD?

THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT HERE.

WIFE RISK HUNDREDS OF

ENTREPRENEURS AND WORKERS WITH

WAGE INCREASES OR FAMILIES WHO

NOW HAVE MORE MONEY IN THEIR

POCKET?

IT'S NOT JUST THE PRESIDENT WITH

A HINT ABOUT THAT.

EARLIER TODAY, NANCY PELOSI

INADVERTENTLY REVEALED THE

REASON.

>> WHAT IS MORE SERIOUS IS THAT

HE CAN'T WIN.

THAT IS VERY SERIOUS TO OUR

COUNTRY.

>> Laura: OH, YES HE CAN WHEN

MET, NANCY.

AND YOU AND THE OVERZEALOUS

RADICALS AND YOUR CAUCUS COULD

VERY WELL BE HELPING HIM SEAL

HIS SECOND TERM.

BEYOND THE GRANDSTANDING,

CULMINATING TODAY, THE DEMOCRATS

PROVE ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE

INCAPABLE OF PUTTING THE GREATER

GOOD OF THE COUNTRY AHEAD OF

THEIR OWN HATRED OF TRUMP AND

THEIR THIRST TO REGAIN POWER.

PUSHING THE NUCLEAR BUTTON OF

IMPEACHMENT, IT IS AN ADMISSION

THAT THEY ARE NOT COMPETENT.

NOT IN THEIR IDEAS WERE IN THEIR
