BUT HERE THE MITCH MCCONNELL.

>> A FEW DAYS AGO SPECIAL

FORCES TOOK OUT THE FOUNDER OF

ISIS, THE CLEAREST REMINDER

THAT THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF

THE UNITED STATES AND THE

MISSIONS OF OUR SERVICE MEMBERS

DO NOT PAUSE FOR PARTISAN

POLITICS.

LESS THAN A WEEK LATER FOR

POLITICAL PURPOSES SENATE

DEMOCRATS SAY THEY REFUSED TO

SECURE FUNDING FOR THOSE VERY

SAME MISSIONS.

WHY SHOULD DEMOCRATS HAVE

TALKED UP A STORM IN RECENT

DAYS CRITICIZING THE

ADMINISTRATION'S APPROACH TO

SYRIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST, LOTS

OF TALK, BUT APPARENTLY THEY

AREN'T CONCERNED ENOUGH ABOUT

THE MIDDLE EAST AND FIGHTING

ISIS TO ACTUALLY VOTE FOR THE

FUNDING THAT KEEPS THE MISSIONS

GOING.

AND CONSIDER THIS, MR.

PRESIDENT.

IF DEMOCRATS FILIBUSTER THIS

DEFENSE FUNDING AS THEY HAVE

THREATENED TO THEY WILL BE

FILIBUSTERING THE EXACT KIND OF

MILITARY ASSISTANCE FOR UKRAINE

OVER WHICH THEY ARE TRYING TO

IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT.

LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.

THIS LEGISLATION IS WHAT

APPROPRIATES THE MONEY FOR THE

UKRAINE SECURITY ASSISTANCE

INITIATIVE, PRECISELY THE

PROGRAM THAT DEMOCRATS ARE

TRYING TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT

TRUMP FOR SUPPOSEDLY SLOW

WALKING.

AND YET TOMORROW, RIGHT HERE IN

THE SENATE, THEY SAY THEY WILL

FILIBUSTER FUNDING FOR THE

EXACT SAME PROGRAM.

ONLY IN WASHINGTON WOULD YOU

SEE A SHOW LIKE THAT.

THEY WANT TO IMPEACH THE

PRESIDENT FOR DELAYING

ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE WHILE

THEY BLOCK FUNDING FOR THE

PROGRAM THEMSELVES.

I WOULD SAY IT'S UNBELIEVABLE

EXCEPT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS

HAPPENING.

LOOK, I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR

OUR DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES DO

NOT HAVE A GREAT AFFINITY FOR

PRESIDENT TRUMP.

BUT THE COUNTRY CANNOT AFFORD

FOR DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS TO

TAKE A ONE-YEAR VACATION FROM

ANY PRODUCTIVE LEGISLATION JUST

BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER

OBSESS OVER IMPEACHMENT.

ISIS AND OTHER RADICAL

TERRORISTS ARE NOT GOING TO HIT

THE PAUSE BUTTON BECAUSE

DEMOCRATS WON'T FUND THE U.S.

MILITARY.

STRATEGIC COMPETITORS LIKE

RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE NOT GOING

TO HIT PAUSE BECAUSE DEMOCRATS

WOULD RATHER HURT THE WHITE

HOUSE THAN FUND OUR MILITARY

COMMANDERS.

LOOK, CONGRESS NEEDS TO DO ITS

WORK.

WE NEED TO FUND OUR ARMED

FORCES.

TOMORROW'S VOTE WILL TELL US

WHICH SENATORS ARE ACTUALLY

READY TO DO IT.

NOW SPEAKING OF IMPEACHMENT,

YESTERDAY HOUSE DEMOCRATS

RELEASED THEIR MUCH HIGH

RESOLUTION ADVERTISED AS

BRINGING FAIRNESS AND DUE

PROCESS INTO SPEAKER PELOSI'S

AND CHAIRMAN SCHIFF'S CLOSED

DOOR PARTISAN INQUIRY.

UNFORTUNATELY THE DRAFT

RESOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN

RELEASED DOES NOTHING OF THE

SORT.

IT FALLS WAY SHORT, WAY SHORT.

AS I'VE SAID REPEATEDLY AND

IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY IS THE MOST

SOLEMN AND SERIOUS PROCESS THE

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CAN

EMBARK UPON AND SEEKS TO

NULLIFY A DEMOCRATIC ELECTION

AND CANCEL OUT THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE'S CHOICE OF A

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

FOR THAT REASON ANY SUCH

INQUIRY MUST BE CONDUCTED BY

THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF

FAIRNESS AND DUE PROCESS BUT

THUS FAR THIS TIME AROUND

INSTEAD OF SETTING A HIGH BAR

HOUSE DEMOCRATS SEEM DETERMINED

TO SET A NEW LOW.

SPEAKER PELOSI HAS INITIATED A

BIZARRE PROCESS.

>> Bill: ANY TIME MITCH

MCCONNELL SPEAKS YOU HAVE TO

LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO THE
