THE SENATE.
JOINING US TONIGHT IS HARMEET
DHILLON, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL LAWYERS
ASSOCIATION, RNC COMMITTEE WOMAN
FOR CALIFORNIA, MEMBER OF THE
TRUMP 2020 ADVISORY COUNCIL.
GREAT TO SEE YOU --
>> THANKS, LOU.
LOU: YOU'VE BEEN OVER AT THE
WHITE HOUSE, AND LET ME START
WITH WHAT'S THE MOOD THERE?
ARE THEY READY TO FIGHT?
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT'S GOING
ON.
>> SURE.
WELL, THE PRESIDENT WAS IN A
GREAT MOOD TODAY AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HE GREETED SUPPORTERS WITH A
VERY POSITIVE MESSAGE.
HE SAID A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS
THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED.
HE MENTIONED OUR AMAZING
ECONOMY, THE JOBS NUMBERS BEING
OFF THE CHARTS, ALL OF THE
THINGS THAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED SO
FAR AND THAT HE INTENDS TO
ACCOMPLISH.
HE JOKED ABOUT HOW PATHETIC THE
DEMS ARE AND PELOSI AND HOW
THEY'RE FLOPPING AND INVADING
OUR RIGHTS.
I THINK EVERYBODY AT THE EVENT
FELT VERY POSITIVE THAT THE
PRESIDENT WAS IN GOOD SPIRITS
AND READY TO FIGHT.
AND SO WERE HIS SUPPORTERS.
SO I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT IT AS
I LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY.
LOU: THIS IS A COMMENT FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY,
STEPHANIE GRISHAM, SAYING:
DEMOCRATS' SHAM IMPEACHMENT IS A
BLATANT -- IF WE CAN PUT THIS UP
FOR EVERYBODY, SHE GOT RIGHT TO
THE ISSUE.
DEMOCRATS' SHAM IMPEACHMENT A
BLATANT, PURELY PARTISAN ATTEMPT
TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF A
FREE AND FAIR ELECTION.
I'M TOLD WE DON'T HAVE THAT, I
APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
YOUR REACTION.
BECAUSE DAVID BOSSIE, PRESIDENT
OF CITIZENS UNITED, FORMER TRUMP
CAMPAIGN TOP DOG, THIS, THIS IS,
CAMPAIGN TOP DOG, THIS, THIS ISH
CAMPAIGN TOP DOG, THIS, THIS ISE
SAYS, WAR.
AND I AM DELIGHTED TO HEAR
REPUBLICANS START TALKING THAT
WAY.
ARE YOU READY FOR WAR?
ARE YOU READY TO CALL IT WAR?
>> I AM READY FOR WAR, LOU.
I SPENT MY DAY HERE IN D.C. ON
CAPITOL HILL HAVING MEETINGS
WITH MEMBERS, WITH STAFF AND
WITH THE RNC AND TALKING ABOUT
SOME OF THE LEGAL ISSUES THAT WE
NEED TO PURSUE.
AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE
RNC IS READY AND HAS ALREADY
BEEN FIGHT HARD ON IMPEACHMENT
AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
I'D LOVE TO SEE SOME MORE
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ENGAGE IN
THE FIGHT LIKE DEVIN NUÑES AND A
FEW OTHERS HAVE.
THEY NEED SOME BACKUP, AND I
THINK THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
OVERDUE.
THIS IS A FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
OF OUR COUNTRY, NOT JUST FOR
THIS PARTY OR AND THIS
PRESIDENT.
SO THERE IS NO TIME LIKE NOW,
YOU KNOW IN IN THE WORDS OF A
GODFATHER, YOU KNOW, TIME TO GO
TO THE MATTRESSES, THIS IS WAR.
LOU: YEAH.
IT IS ALSO TIME, WHETHER, YOU
KNOW, THE GOD FATHER REFERENCE
WORKS OR NOT --
[LAUGHTER]
IT IS REALLY TIME FOR THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY TO ACT LIKE
THEY'VE GOT SOME KIND OF PULSE
AND ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT IS BIGGER THAN
ALL OF US, AND THAT IS THIS
NATION.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
LOU: AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
LOU: IT IS REALLY TROUBLING TO
SEE HOW LONG THIS PRESIDENT HAD
TO FIGHT BY HIMSELF EFFECTIVELY
IN THAT WHITE HOUSE.
BUT NOW THE REPUBLICANS IN THE
HOUSE HAVE FINALLY SHOWN THAT
THEY CAN STAND WITH THIS
PRESIDENT, AND IT'S MAKING ALL
THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
LOU: NOW WHETHER OR NOT THE
SO-CALLED RINOs -- I MEAN, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN WITH MITT ROMNEY, SUSAN
COLLINS, LISA MURKOWSKI, I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT LINDSEY GRAHAM IS
THINKING FROM ONE DAY TO NEXT.
WHAT THOSE PEOPLE IN THE SENATE
ARE GOING TO DO AND WHETHER THEY
WILL GO TO WAR.
>> WELL, I THINK THEY ARE
BEGINNING TO SEE THEIR FUTURE
DEPENDS ON IT AS WELL BECAUSE
YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENED OVER THE LAST YEAR
CONGRESS TO SEE THAT A FEW
VOTES' DIFFERENCE MAKES ALL THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR CIVIL
RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED OR NOT
VIOLATED.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE HAVE
LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THE
CONSTITUTION, ALL RESPECT FOR
THE FIRST AMENDMENT, ALL RESPECT
FOR THE OPPOSITION, ALL RESPECT
FOR THE FUTURE AND THE
CONSTITUTION AND OUR RIGHTS.
AND SO WE HAVE TO STAND UP AND,
YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT WAS
DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, I WOULD
HATE TO SEE THIS HAPPEN BY ANY
ABUSE OF POWER BY AN ELECTED
OFFICIAL.
SO DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS, THE
ACLU, THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND
UP AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING
HERE.
LOU: I THINK IT'S A POOR WAY TO
GO INTO A WAR, IF I MAY SAY,
FIRST SINGING "KUMBAYA."
I CAN'T IMAGINE THE ACTORS THAT
YOU JUST REELED OFF IN ANY WAY
STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
WITH YOU IN THIS FIGHT.
>> WELL, IF I'M THE LAST PERSON
STANDING, LOU, I WILL BE
FIGHTING, AND I PROMISE YOU I'M
NOT ALONE.
WE HAVE MANY WARRIORS WHO ARE
FIGHTING, YOU KNOW, NOT 100%,
BUT WE NEED TO GET IT THERE.
AND WE HAVE TO PUT EVERYTHING ON
THE LINE TO WIN IN 2020.
AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT, YOU
KNOW, ADVANCING THE AGENDA.
BUT RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOTHING
BUT THIS TO FIGHT FOR.
