>> HELLO AMERICA WELCOME TO
LIFE, LIBERTY AND LEVIN.
WE HAVE A GREAT GUEST, PETER
SCHWEITZER PROFILES AND
CORRUPTION.
HE HAS A BOOK ON THE BIDENS.
FIVE OF THEM.
WE ARE REALLY GOING TO WANT TO
DIG INTO THIS BUT BEFORE WE
DO, I FEEL COMPELLED TO
ADDRESS WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON
ON THE FLOOR OF THE U.S.
SENATE.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SOMBER
OCCASION.
THERE'S NOTHING SOMBER ABOUT
IT.
IT'S A FARCE.
IT'S PATHETIC AND GROTESQUE.
THE SENATORS HAVE A JOB TO
UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES AND TO PROTECT
IT, NOT FROM A LAW-ABIDING
PRESIDENT BUT FROM A LAWLESS
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.
THE DEMOCRATS.
>> YOU DON'T NEED THREE DAYS
IN 24 HOURS IF YOU HAVE A TRUE
CASE OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST
THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT
OR JUDGE AND SO FORTH.
THEY ARE ALL OVER THE MAP.
THEY'VE GOT THEIR GRAPHS AND
THEIR VIDEO CLIPS AND THE
REPETITION AND THEIR EMOTION
AND THEIR ATTACKING THE
PRESIDENT AND THE SENATORS,
THEIR UNDERMINING JUDICIAL
REVIEW IN THE COURT.
IT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT.
THE VERY CHAIRMAN.
[INAUDIBLE]
THEY VIOLATED THEIR COMMITTEE
RULES AND BASIC DUE PROCESS.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BILL
OF RIGHTS BUT THE DUE PROCESS
THAT IS CUSTOMARILY AND
TRADITIONALLY BEEN AFFORDED A
PRESIDENT FACING A SITUATION
LIKE THIS.
IT'S COMPLETELY EVISCERATED.
THEN WE HAVE THE SERENA, THE
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE A VOTE TO OPEN
AND IMPEACHMENT HEARING, SHE
DECLARED IT.
SHE DECLARED WE ARE ARE HAVING
AN IMPEACHMENT HEARING.
NONE OF THE RULES IN PLACE IN
THE PAST WHEN PETER.
[INAUDIBLE]
WHEN THE DEMOCRATS CONTROLLED
THE HOUSE AND THEY WERE
LOOKING AT NIXON FOR
IMPEACHMENT, ALL THOSE RULES
THROWN OUT THE RULES.
ALL THE HOUSE RULES THROWN OUT
THE WINDOW.
THE REPUBLICANS COULDN'T CALL
WITNESSES FOR THOSE SECRET
STAR CHAMBER EVENTS TAKING
PLACE IN THE BASEMENT OF THE
HOUSE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES,
IT'S APPALLING.
THE REAL STORY HERE IS DONALD
TRUMP IS BEING TREATED LIKE NO
PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
IN FACT, NO PERSON FACING
IMPEACHMENT IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
THAT'S A FACT.
THE CORRUPTION, THE ABUSE OF
POWER IF YOU WILL HAS TAKEN
PLACE ALREADY IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES AND SO EVERY
REPUBLICAN IN THE HOUSE VOTED
AGAINST IT.
EVERY SINGLE ONE.
EVERY DEMOCRAT BUT ONE VOTED
FOR IT.
THAT SHOULD TELL YOU
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
SO THAT'S THEIR CASE.
THESE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
WHICH ARE BONY, ABUSE OF
POWER, OBSTRUCTION OF
CONGRESS, ABSOLUTELY PHONY.
LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THE
REQUIREMENTS ARE UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES.
THE FINAL SECTION OF ARTICLE
TWO WHICH GENERALLY DESCRIBE
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH SPECIFIES
THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT
ALL CIVIL OFFICES SHOULD
REMOVE FROM OFFICE IF
CONVICTED IN A TRIAL OF
TREASON, BRIBERY OR OTHER HIGH
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.
TWO CLAUSES IN ARTICLE ONE
LAYOUT THE ROLE AND THE SENATE
TRIALS OF IMPEACHMENT,
IMPEACHMENT BY THE HOUSE HAVE
BEEN RARE AND CONVICTIONS
AFTER A TRIAL BY THE SENATE
EVEN LESS COMMON.
TWO PRESIDENTS, ONE SENATOR,
ONE CABINET OFFICER AND 15
JUDGES HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED.
OF THOSE ONLY EIGHT HAVE BEEN
CONVICTED AND REMOVED FROM
OFFICE.
YOU BETTER HAVE A STRONG CASE
BOY, IT BETTER BE AN
OVERWHELMING CASE BUT YOU NEED
23 HOURS IN THREE DAYS AND YOU
NEED JOHN BOLTON.
HE'LL MAKE THE CASE OR MAKE
MULVANEY WILL MAKE THE CASE OR
YOU HAD CONTROL OF THE HOUSE,
THAT'S DIFFERENT NOW OR IN THE
SENATE.
WE DON'T LIKE THE JUDICIARY
TELLING US WHAT WE CAN OR
CANNOT DO.
THE SENATORS BETTER DO WHAT WE
SAY OTHERWISE THEY'RE INVOLVED
IN A COVER-UP AND OBSTRUCTION
AND NOT HOLDING UP THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THEY HAVE,
THEY HAVE ZIP, NOTHING, I HAVE
RIGHT HERE A TELEPHONE CALL
THAT WE GO BACK TO, THE
TRANSCRIPT OF THE PRESIDENT OF
UNITED STATES JULY 25, 2019
WITH THE PRESIDENT OF
UKRAINE.
TELL ME, WHERE IN HERE IS
THERE TREASON, BRIBERY OR
OTHER HIGH CRIMES AND
MISDEMEANORS QUESTION RIGHT
THERE AREN'T ANY.
THERE ARE NONE, ZERO WHICH IS
WHY THEY ALMOST NEVER REFERRED
TO IT.
AND WHAT ABOUT REGULAR CRIMES
THAT ARE OUT THERE?
WHICH OF COURSE YOU DON'T HAVE
TO HAVE FOR IMPEACHMENT BUT IT
WOULD BE NICE IF THEY HAD
SOMETHING.
WHAT DID THE PRESIDENT DO
QUESTION MIKE DID HE SAY LOOK,
PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, I WANT
YOU TO GET ME DIRT ON THE
BIDENS.
HE NEVER SAID THAT OR I'M
GONNA WITHHOLD MILITARY AID.
NEVER CAME UP.
OR I WANT YOU TO ANNOUNCE
YOU'RE GOING TO DO AN
INVESTIGATION.
THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID.
HE SAID NONE OF THOSE THINGS
SO THEY HAVE TO SPEND 24 HOURS
IN THREE DAYS PUTTING WORDS IN
THE PRESIDENT'S MOUTH THAT HE
NEVER SPOKE, PUTTING WORDS IN
THE MOUTHS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
THEY DID HAVE SOME WITNESSES
IN THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE.
THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
EMMA NOT REALLY.
BUT LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
LET'S LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUALS
WHO ADAM SCHIFF AND NANCY
PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATS, BY
THE WAY, ALMOST ALL OF THEM
ARE HEARSAY WITNESSES,
FIRST-HAND WITNESSES TO
NOTHING BUT WHAT DID THEY HAVE
TO SAY ABOUT IMPEACHMENT AND
HIGH CRIMES AND ALL THE REST.
TAKE A LOOK, GO.
>> EITHER OF YOU EVER HAVE ANY
EVIDENCE OF QUID PRO QUO.
>> NO MA'AM.
>> I DID NOT.
>> ANY EVIDENCE OF BRIBERY.
>> NO MA'AM.
>> NOT THAT I CAN RECALL.
>> HE SAID I WANT NOTHING, I
WANT NO QUID PRO QUO.
>> YOU TESTIFY YOU HAVE NO
DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF NEFARIOUS
MOTIVATION TO WITHHOLD AID TO
UKRAINE, CORRECT.
>> CORRECTED.
>> TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE YOU
TESTIFY THERE WERE NO STRINGS
ATTACHED TO THE AID, CORRECT,
THAT'S PAGE 184 OF YOUR
DEPOSITION.
>> NO SUCH KNOWLEDGE.
>> IN THIS IMPEACHMENT HEARING
TODAY WHERE WE IMPEACH
PRESIDENTS FOR TREASON OR
BRIBERY OR HIGH CRIMES, WHERE
IS THE IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE IN
THAT CALL?
ARE EITHER OF YOU HERE TO
ASSERT THERE WAS AN
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE IN THAT
CALL?
SHOUTED OUT.
ANYONE?
>> DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION
REGARDING THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES ACCEPTING ANY
BRIBES?
>> NO.
>> DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION
REGARDING ANY CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY THAT THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED WITH AT ALL.
>> NO.
>> THAT WAS ONE MINUTE TEN
SECONDS.
YOU WON'T SEE ANY OF THAT
VIDEO, NOT ON THE DEMOCRAT
SIDE.
THE HOUSE MANAGERS DIDN'T PLAY
IT.
I DON'T NEED 24 HOURS, I DON'T
NEED THREE DAYS, CASE CLOSED.
CASE CLOSED.
WHAT ARE THESE OTHER WITNESSES
GOING TO TELL THEM?
THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE SAID
HE WASN'T PRESSURED.
WE HEARD.
ON AND ON AND ON THEIR DRONING
US, THERE WAS A PRESSURE
CAMPAIGN, THE CIA IS SITTING
ON DOCUMENTS.
THE NSA SITTING ON DOCUMENTS.
WE HAD ALL THESE DOCUMENTS BUT
WE CAN'T GET OUR HANDS ON
THEM.
WHERE'S THE SMOKING GUN
DOCUMENT THAT THE PRESIDENT
COMMITTED AN IMPEACHABLE
OFFENSE?
WHERE IS IT?
IT DOESN'T EXIST.
WHERE'S THE KILLER WITNESS,
THE FIRST-HAND WITNESS IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
HE OR SHE DOESN'T EXIST.
THERE'S NOTHING.
THAT'S WHY IT TAKES 24 HOURS
IN THREE DAYS TO KEEP COBBLING
THINGS TOGETHER LIKE GOOD
DEMAGOGUES AND PROPAGANDA'S
BUT LET'S BE HONEST FOLKS,
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?
WE WERE TOLD ABOUT THIS
NOVEMBER 17 IN THE NEW YORK
TIMES, TRUMPS FOREIGN BUSINESS
TIES ME VIOLATE THE EMOLUMENTS
CLAUSE.
HIS BUSINESS DEALINGS HAVE
RAISED CONCERN ABOUT ETHICAL
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN THEY GO ON
ABOUT HOW IT IMPACTS HIS
ABILITY TO SERVE AS
PRESIDENT.
DECEMBER 2016, VANITY FAIR,
DEMOCRATS ARE PAVING THE WAY
TO IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP.
HE ANNOUNCED FOR PRESIDENT ON J6
HE ANNOUNCED FOR PRESIDENT ON Jh
AND THEY'RE ALREADY
IMPEACHING HIM.
THAT WAS VANITY FAIR.
THEN WE GO TO THE WASHINGTON
POST ON THE VERY DAY HE'S
INAUGURATED.
THE CAMPAIGN TO IMPEACH HIM
HAS BEGUN.
THAT'S WHY THEY NEED 24 HOURS
IN THREE DAYS BECAUSE THEIR
DNA IS ALL OVER THERE CORRUPT
PRACTICES.
THAT'S WHY AND THAT'S
ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS.
THE MEDIA WAS ALREADY CALLING
FOR HIS IMPEACHMENT FOLLOWING
A BUZZFEED PIECE.
I'LL REMIND YOU.
IF THE PRESIDENT HAD DONE
THESE THINGS, IF, OH MY GOD,
HE'LL BE IMPEACHED FOR
CAMPAIGN LAW VIOLATION.
REMEMBER THAT?
MICHAEL EVAN ODDI, MICHAEL
COHEN, ALL THE REST OF THEM
BUT SCHIFF LIED.
THEY NEED TO GO TO CRAIGSLIST,
ANY WITNESSES OUT THERE,
ANYBODY OUT THERE FOREIGN OR
DOMESTIC WHO THINK THEY CAN
TELL US THAT THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES VIOLATED THE
CONSTITUTION
CNSTITUTION
CONTITUTION
CONSTTUTION
CONSTITTION
CONSTITUTON
CONSTITUTION,
TREASON, BRIBERY OR OTHER HIGH
CRIMES?
WE NEED SOMETHING.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
>> IF THIS BUZZFEED REPORT IS
TRUE THEN WE ARE LIKELY ON OUR
WAY TO POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT
PROCEEDINGS.
>> IF IT WERE TO BE TRUE IT
MEANS THE PRESIDENT TOLD
SOMEONE TO LIVE UNDER OATH AS
A CRIME AND IT'S IMPEACHABLE.
IF IT'S TRUE WE MUST BEGIN
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS.
>> IF YOU CAN PROVE THAT THE
PRESIDENT ORDERED IT THAT
COULD CERTAINLY RISE TO THE
LEVEL OF IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.
>> IS NOT AN IMPEACHABLE
OFFENSE.
>> THERE'S NO QUESTION IT'S AN
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.
>> THAT'S CONSIDERED AN
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE
ABSOLUTELY.
>> INSIDE THE ANSWER I DID
HEAR THAT WORD.
>> IS A VERY FINE ALTERNATIVE
WAY TO DEAL WITH THE.
>> DEMOCRATS WILL MOVE FASTER
OR MORE AGGRESSIVELY.
>> THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF
SIMILARITIES AND THE ELEMENTS
OF THE STORY.
>> IN THE PAST WAS IT
IMPEACHABLE.
>> IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
DROVE HIM OUT OF OFFICE.
>> IT'S NOT INDEPENDENTLY
CONFIRM THIS.
>> OH WOW, NOT CONFIRMED, BUT
JUST IN CASE.
THE PRESIDENT COMMITTED
TREASON OR HIGH CRIME BECAUSE
HE DIRECTED MICHAEL COHEN TO
LIVE.
NO HE DIDN'T.
EVERY DAMN THING THEY'VE SET
ABOUT THIS PRESIDENT IS
ALIVE.
THERE MUST BE SECRET
INDICTMENTS ABOUT HIM IN THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
WITH A NONDISCLOSURE.
HE VIOLATED CAMPAIGN FINANCE.
NO HE DIDN'T.
THE RUSSIAN COLLUSION STUFF,
HERE IT IS.
I'VE GOT IT RIGHT HERE.
$40MILLION.
HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES.
