ARE SEEING SO FAR?
THE G.O.P. PUT OUT AN ASSESSMENT
OF THIS INFORMATION, THIS REPORT
THAT WILL FORMULATE SOUND INTO
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.
>> Newt: FACTS MATTER.
THE G.O.P. ANALYSIS IS VERY
COMPELLING.
BUT I THINK WITH ADAM SHIFT IN
THE DEMOCRATS, FACTS DON'T
MATTER.
THEY WANTED TO IMPEACH TRUMP,
MANY OF THEM WANT TO IMPEACH
TRUMP BEFORE HE WAS SWORN IN.
"WASHINGTON POST" REPORTED ON
THE VERY DAY OF TRUMP'S
INAUGURAL THAT THERE WAS ALREADY
AN EFFORT UNDERWAY FOR
IMPEACHMENT.
I THINK SCHIFF IS TOTALLY DENSE
HONEST, DIS- RELIABLE AND I
DON'T THINK ANYTHING HE DOES
SERIOUSLY.
HE LIED TO THE COUNTRY OVER AND
OVER AGAIN ABOUT THE RUSSIAN
RELATIONSHIP AND HE'S PLAYING
WRONG.
HE HAS RUN A TOTALLY ONE-SIDED
KANGAROO COURTS.
THEY WILL ISSUED THEIR REPORT IF
YOU ARE A LEFT WING DEMOCRATS,
THAT REPORT WILL BE TERRIFIC AND
YOU WILL LOVE IT.
IF YOU ARE AN INDEPENDENT VOTER,
WELL, YOU WILL LOOK AT IT
CAREFULLY.
>> Martha: THAT IS THE PROBLEM
THEY ARE STUCK WITH AT THIS
POINT, RIGHT?
NANCY PELOSI DID NOT WANT TO GO
DOWN THIS ROAD AND SHE DIDN'T
THINK IT WOULD TURN INTO A
BIPARTISAN EFFORT TO OUST THE
PRESIDENT AND IT WAS UNLIKELY.
THEN SHE DECIDED TO MOVE
FORWARD.
SO WE ARE REALLY STUCK WHERE WE
WERE WHEN THIS WHOLE THING
BEGAN.
THE PROCESS OF WATCHING THESE
HEARINGS WITH FIONA HILL, THE
COLONEL DENMAN AND ALL OF THE
OTHERS PRAYED THROUGH THE ROOM
TO CHANGE SOMEBODY'S MIND.
IT DOES NOT HAVE APPEARED TO
HAVE DONE THAT SO FAR.
>> Newt: I NEVER UNDERSTOOD
WHY THE DEMOCRATS WHO CONTROL
ONLY THE HOUSE THOUGHT STARTING
THIS DANCE WOULD MAKE ANY SENSE.
LET'S SAY THEY VOTE IMPEACHMENT.
31 DEMOCRATS THAT THE DISTRICTS
OF TRUMP HAVE CARRIED HER IN
DANGER OF BEING WIPED OUT NEXT
YEAR WHICH FRANKLY MAKE KEVIN
McCARTHY SPEAKER WHICH IS A
GOOD DEAL.
BUT LET'S SAY THEY DO PASS
IMPEACHMENT.
IT GOES TO THE SENATE.
LINDSEY GRAHAM THE CHAIRMAN
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SAYS HE
WANTS TO INVITE HUNTER BIDEN.
HE WANTS TO INVITE JOE BIDEN.
HE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE
ADAM SCHIFF.
THE SENATE HEARINGS WILL WASH
AWAY ANYTHING THAT THE DEMOCRATS
ACCOMPLISH IN THE HOUSE, AND BY
THE TIME IT'S ALL OVER, TRUMP
WILL BE VINDICATED.
HE WILL NOT BE CONVICTED.
HE WILL STILL BE PRESIDENT.
>> Martha: YOU DON'T THINK YOU
WILL SEE ANY OF THOSE THREE
PEOPLE TO TESTIFY IN THE SENATE,
DO YOU?
>> Newt: IF THEY GET A
SUBPOENA IT WILL BE INTERESTING
TO WATCH HOW THEY EXPLAIN, YOU
KNOW, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN AS
PRESIDENT -- CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT COME IF YOU ARE HUNTER
BIDEN --
>> Martha: YOU WILL SAY THE
SAME THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS IS
THAT IT'S UNFAIR.
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT.
I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING FROM
BILLY LOFGREN OVER THE WEEKEND.
BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT YOU THINK
THIS IS A HOLE OUT OF NOTHING.
AND SHE WAS AROUND DURING
WATERGATE PROCESS AS WELL AND
THAT PLAINTIFF IMPEACHMENT WHICH
YOU ALSO VERY INVOLVED IN THIS
IS WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT THIS.
>> IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE
FOUNDING FATHERS WERE CONCERNED
ABOUT, IT WAS THE INTERFERENCE
BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND THE
POLITICAL GOVERNMENTS WAS THE
GREATEST CONCERN.
NIXON'S BEHAVIOR DIDN'T FALL
INTO THAT RANGE.
SO IN THAT WAY, THIS CONDUCT IS
MORE SERIOUS.
>> Martha: SHE SAID THIS IS
WAY WORSE THAN WATERGATE.
>> Newt: SHE HAS IT EXACTLY
BACKWARDS.
THE ARGUMENT IS TRUMP WAS
INTERFERING IN UKRAINE, NOT
UKRAINE INTERFERING IN THE
UNITED STATES.
SO SHE HAS THE WHOLE THING
TOTALLY BACKWARDS.
>> Martha: SHE IS SUGGESTING
THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED WITH
FUTURE HOPE OF ELECTION 2020 AND
SHE BELIEVES THAT IS MORE
EGREGIOUS.
>> Newt: YOU KNOW, FIRST OF
ALL, YOU HAD THE UKRAINIAN
PRESIDENT SAY OVER AND OVER
AGAIN, HE DID NOT THINK THERE
WAS A QUID PRO QUO.
HE DIDN'T THINK HE WAS UNDER
PRESSURE.
NOW COME HE IS THE PERSON TO
COMPLAIN WHO OUGHT TO BE ON THE
SIDE OF THE DEMOCRATS.
THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT, SHE IS
WRONG.
BUT ALSO REMEMBER THIS WHICH
MAKES THIS WHOLE THING GOOFY.
FOR EIGHT YEARS, PRESIDENT OBAMA
DID NOT OFFER ANY HELP
MILITARILY TO UKRAINE.
TRUMP COMES IN, TRUMP IS HELPING
UKRAINE.
HE IS GETTING THEM WEAPONS.
HE GETS A THANK YOU CALL FROM
THE NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF
UKRAINE.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE ARGUING OVER
WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A ONE
OR TWO MONTH DELAY GETTING
WEAPONS THEY WERE.
TRUMP HAS ACTUALLY BEEN HELPING
THEM WHICH OBAMA DIDN'T DO FOR
EIGHT YEARS.
>> Martha: THAT IS A BIT OF
IRONY, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
TONIGHT.
COMING UP NEXT, IRANIAN REGIME
UNLEASHES UNPRECEDENTED
RETALIATORY AGAINST HIS PEOPLE
KILLING AS MANY AS 450, THE
NUMBERS ARE NOT ACCURATE AT THIS
POINT.
IN JUST A MATTER OF WEEKS,
