ASKED THE QUESTION DO YOU

BELIEVE THE TRANSCRIPT IS AN

IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE?

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID ON THE

TRANSCRIPT IS NOT IN THE

TEACHABLE EVENT.

IT'S RIDICULOUS TO SAY THE

PRESIDENT DID SOMETHING WRONG

BASED ON A PHONECALL AND I THINK

EVERYBODY IN THE MEDIA SHOULD GO

TO THE THE DEMOCRATS --

IMPEACHMENT.

ERRED SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM

THIS MORNING TALKING ABOUT THE

HOUSE DEMOCRATS IMPEACHMENT AND

THE REPUBLICANS SAYING THIS IS

THE WHITE HOUSE PREPARES TO SEND

A LETTER TO SPEAKER PELOSI

REFUSING TO OPERATE WITH

DOCUMENT REQUESTS UNTIL SHE

HOLDS A FULL FLOOR VOTE ON THIS

MATTER.

REPUBLICANS CHARGING THEY ARE

BEING DENIED DUE PROCESS.

PHIL JOINS US FROM

RealClearPolitics.

YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT WILL

BEND UNDER WHITE HOUSE PRESSURE?

>> THERE'S A LOT OF STAKE IF SHE

DOES BEND TO THE PRESSURE FIRST

OF ALL IF THERE'S A FULL HOUSE

VOTE LIKE SOMETHING THAT

OCCURRED OR IN THE NIXON

IMPEACHMENT DURING THE

IMPEACHMENT OF HILLARY CLINTON.

THE ISSUE HERE WILL BE REPLACING

FRESHMAN DEMOCRATS GUYS WHO IN

2018 WENT TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS

AND SAID VOTE FOR ME.

WE ARE NOT JUST HERE TO START

THE PRESIDENT DID I CARE ABOUT

THESE KITCHEN TABLE ISSUES AND

IF YOU HOLD THAT VOTE YOU WILL

BE FORCING THOSE FRESHMAN TO

COME DOWN ON THIS ISSUE.

THEY ALSO WILL RAISE THE

QUESTION IF YOU HOLD THAT VOTE

ABOUT WHAT RIGHTS THE MINORITY

PARTY WILL GET.

WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW IS

MINORITY LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY

WANTS SUBPOENA POWER AND WANTS

TO HAVE EVERYTHING AT HIS

DISPOSAL TO FIGHT BACK.

ERIC: REPUBLICANS ARE

CRITICIZING THE DEMOCRATS SAYING

THEY DON'T HAVE SUBPOENA POWER.

THEY SAY IT'S A ONE-SIDED

PROCESS IN THEIR VIEW.

IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THAT?

>> RIGHT NOW THE ARGUMENT COMING

FROM KEVIN McCARTHY AND OTHER

REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE AS WELL

AS THE WHITE HOUSE IS NANCY

PELOSI IS THE SPEAKER OF THE

HOUSE AND YES SHE HAS THAT

AUTHORITY BUT SHE IS STILL JUST

ONE ELECTED MEMBER OF CONGRESS.

THE U.S. CONSTITUTION REQUIRES

THE ENTIRE BODY TO AGREE TO MOVE

FORWARD AND THAT'S THE DEBATE

RIGHT NOW.

THEY WANT TO RIGHTS THAT WERE

AFFORDED TO PASS MINORITY

PARTIES DURING PAST IMPEACHMENT

AND THIS IS A SORT OF TECHNICAL

THING.

THIS IS THE NITTY-GRITTY THAT

THE VOTER CAN SAY WAIT A MINUTE

I'M ALL FOR OVERSIGHT BUT

THERE'S SOMETHING TO DUE PROCESS

AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE POLITICAL

FIGHT NOT ONE THAT IS BASED ON

HOLDING THE PRESIDENCY

STANDARDS.

ERIC: YOU TALK ABOUT DUE

PROCESS.

DEMOCRATS CALLING ON AMBASSADORS

TO THE QUESTIONS BEHIND CLOSED

DOORS.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY WOULD

SUBPOENA JOE BIDEN HIMSELF AND

HUNTER BIDEN AND ASK THEM THESE

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UKRAINIAN

CONTEXT?

>> THIS IS A CAN OF WORMS THAT

WE ARE GETTING OURSELVES INTO

BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS

EXPERIMENT IN SELF-GOVERNMENT

IT'S ALMOST LIMITLESS ABOUT WHAT

POWERS CAN DO WITHOUT VIOLATING

NORMS AND WITHOUT VIOLATING

STANDARDS THAT ARE PUT IN THE

U.S. CONSTITUTION.

LOVE REPUBLICANS AT THIS POINT

DON'T JUST WANT TO SEE A TEXT

MESSAGE HERE OR TEXT MESSAGE

THEIR PEER THEY WANT TO SEE THE

ENTIRE EVIDENCE THAN THAT IS

CHAIRMAN SCHIFF WANT TO SEE THE

ENTIRE BODY OF EVIDENCE AND THEY

SAY HE YOU SHOULD TAKE A PLAY

OUT OF THE PLAYBOOK OF THE

PRESIDENT TO RELEASE THE ENTIRE

CONTEXT.

ERRED THE BIDEN FAMILY WAS PAID

OFF.

THERE'S NO WAY IN THESE

TRANSACTIONS USES SLEEPY JOE

WON'T GET INTO THE STARTING GATE

AND IS FAMILY PROBABLY EXTORTED.

YOU WOULD THINK THE REPUBLICANS

WOULD RAISE THIS ISSUE.

HERE IS RUDY GIULIANI TALKING

ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY.

FIRST OF ALL EVEN IF IT IS

UKRAINE ITS DIFFERENT ONE BIDEN

DID.

THE PURPOSE OF QUESTIONING IS TO

GET A CRIMINAL DESICCATION ABOUT

A THE SCANDAL AT THE HIGHEST

LEVEL OF OUR GOVERNMENT

UNCOVERED THAT THE WASHINGTON

PRESS HAD BEEN COVERING FOR

THREE YEARS DELIBERATELY AND

ABOUT WHICH THEY ARE NOW GOING

AFTER ME PERSONALLY.

THEY WANT TO GET ME, THE

MESSENGER SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO

DEAL WITH THEIR HONEY BOY BIDEN

HAS BEEN A CROOK OR 30 YEARS.

SORRY I'M A LOT TOUGHER THAN

HIM.

ERRED THAT'S PRETTY STRONG AND

PRETTY POWERFUL.

BOTTOM LINE IF THAT'S WHAT THE

REPUBLICAN WANTS HIS THAT WHAT

THEY ARE GOING TO GET?

AND THE PRESIDENT PERSONAL

LAWYER IS IN THE BUNKER AT THIS

POINT.

I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT HUNTER

BIDEN BUSINESS IN UKRAINE AND

CHINA BEFORE IMPEACHMENT AND

ERISA COVERED BY MANY MEDIA IN

WASHINGTON D.C..

WHAT'S INTERESTING IS RIGHT NOW

THERE'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER OR

NOT WHAT HUNTER BIDEN DID WAS

ILLEGAL AT THIS POINT.

THERE'S SOME AS A NO IT WASN'T

THAT THE SAME TIME IT IS

UNSEEMLY.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE

TO SEE CHILDREN OF PRESIDENTS OR

VICE PRESIDENTS TRADING OFF OF

THEIR PARENTS NAME.

MIGHT NOT BE ILLEGAL BUT IT'S A

STORY OF CRONY CAPITALISM AND

AGAIN AND AGAIN IT SHOWS VOTERS

JUST DON'T LIKE IT YOU.

THIS IS CERTAINLY LIABILITY FOR

THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN AND I IMAGINE

WE WILL SEE THE WHITE HOUSE

CONTINUED TO TALK ABOUT

CORRUPTION EVEN IF THERE'S NO

ILLEGALITY FOUND.

I THINK THIS HAS BEEN A SLOW

BURN.

NANCY PELOSI HAS BEEN DOING

EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO HOLD BACK

HER CAUCUS FOR JUST LONG ENOUGH

THAT WE SAW WITH THE MUELLER

INVESTIGATION, THERE WERE SOME

THINGS THAT WERE HIM SEEMLY BUT

THERE IS NO THERE THERE TO FORCE

THEM PEACH MINT ISSUE.

WITH UKRAINE WITH THE TRANSCRIPT

WE JUST SAW IS MUCH MORE SIMPLE.

BOTH ARGUMENTS, BOTH SIDES HAVE

GOOD ARGUMENTS TO BUTTRESS THEIR

POSITION BUT I THINK EVENTUALLY

WHAT WE WILL SEE HAPPEN IS NANCY

PELOSI IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD

WITH IMPEACHMENT AND MITCH

McCONNELL IS GOING TO HOLD UP

HIS END OF THE BARGAIN.

IF LOOKING AT THIS PURELY

THROUGH PARTISAN STANDPOINT IT
