CAPITOL HILL TOMORROW.
>> Mike: IT SHOULD BE A FEISTY
HEARING.
TRACE, THANKS.
HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER KEVIN
McCARTHY AND TWO OTHER TOP
REPUBLICANS DEMANDING ABC NEWS
EXPLAIN WHY IT SPIKED THE STORY
ABOUT SEX ABUSE ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST JEFFREY EPSTEIN THREE
YEARS AGO.
LET'S BRING IN THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN,
FROM MINNESOTA, TOM EMERICK.
LEADER McCARTHY LETTER TO ABC.
"IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT THE PUBLIC
BE ASSURED THAT NEWS CONDITIONS
ARE NOT TEMPERED BY FINANCIAL
INTEREST OR OUTSIDE FORCES.
DO YOU EXPECT McCARTHY TO GET
ANSWERS FROM THE NETWORK?
>> I THINK KEVIN MAKES SOME
GREAT POINTS WITH HIS COLLEAGUES
MIKE McCAUL AND DOUG COLLINS.
IT'S INDICATIVE OF WHAT THE
MAINSTREAM NATIONAL MEDIA DOES.
THEY TEND TO IGNORE THESE
CORRUPT THINGS GOING ON IN THE
LEFT.
TAKE KATIE HILL FOR INSTANCE IN
CALIFORNIA.
RATHER THAN POINTING OUT THAT
SHE'S A PREDATOR PREYING ON
EMPLOYEES IN HER OWN OFFICE,
CELEBRATE HER AS SOME KIND OF
CELEBRITY OR VICTIM.
RATHER THAN CALLING OUT THE
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND THE
GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA FOR THINGS
THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST THAT
ARE DOCUMENTED, THEY SWEEP IT
UNDER THE RUG.
NOW THEY WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT
THE BIDENS.
I HOPE HE GETS ANSWERS TO THESE
QUESTIONS BUT IT SEEMS TO BE
INDICATIVE OF WHAT THE
MAINSTREAM MEDIA DOES WITH
STORIES ON THE LEFT.
IF THIS WAS A REPUBLICAN THEY
WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE EVERY
MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.
>> Mike: OF COURSE KATIE HILL,
A COST HER HER JOB.
NOW LEE ZELDIN SAYING I BELIEVE
WE SHOULD NOT GO FORWARD WITH
THE NEXT OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
UNTIL THE REST OF THESE
TRANSCRIPT'S ARE OUT BECAUSE I
HAVE QUESTIONS TO ASK OF THESE
WITNESSES BASED OFF OF WHAT WE
HAVE HEARD.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HIS REQUEST?
>> I THINK THAT GOES RIGHT BACK
TO SHOWING YOU WHAT A SHAM
PROCESSED THIS IMPEACHMENT IS.
THEY SAID IT'S PUBLIC PROCEEDING
NOW.
IT WAS CLOSE FOR HOW MANY WEEKS
AND YOU HAVE TRANSCRIPTS THAT
HAVE YET TO BE RELEASED EVEN
TODAY THAT PEOPLE LIKE
LEE ZELDIN NEED TO BE ABLE TO
EXAMINE IN ORDER TO ASK
QUESTIONS THAT ARE RELEVANT AND
IMPORTANT TO THIS PROCEEDING.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THIS
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDING IS A
SHAM.
YOU DON'T HAVE AN INDEPENDENT
COUNSEL THAT'S NOT FOLLOWING ANY
OF THE RULES THAT PRIOR
PROCEEDINGS DID.
INSTEAD, YOU HAVE ADAM SCHIFF
WHO'S MAKING UP THE RULES AS HE
GOES AND FABRICATING EVIDENCE
AND BASICALLY HAS LIED TO THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC.
NOW.
THE OTHER THING WE HAVE TO LOOK
AT IS THE DCCC, THE CAMPAIGN ARM
FOR THE NEW MAJORITY OF THE
HOUSE.
THEY ARE DRIVING THE IMPEACHMENT
PROCEEDING AND THEY ARE DOING
FOCUS GROUPS BECAUSE THEY DON'T
HAVE FACTS THAT SUPPORT AND
IMPEACHMENT PROCESS.
DCCC IS DOING FOCUS GROUPS, THE
SWING DISTRICTS IN THE
BATTLEGROUND DISTRICTS TO TRY TO
COME UP WITH LANGUAGE TO SUPPORT
THIS PROCESS BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THIS IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDING IS
GOING TO BE THE END OF THEIR
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE.
>> Mike: SPEAKING OF WHICH,
HOW IS IMPEACHMENT PLAYING IN
SOME OF THESE CRITICAL
BATTLEGROUND DISTRICTS THAT CAN
MAKE OR BREAK THE MAJORITY?
>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
MOST PEOPLE WILL POINT TO THE
NATIONAL POLLING.
NATIONAL POLLING TAKES IN LARGER
CONCENTRATIONS OF DEMOCRATS AND
THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR
MIND.
THEY WANTED THIS PRESIDENT GONE
BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE BATTLEGROUND
DISTRICTS AND THESE ARE SOME 95
DISTRICTS GIVE OR TAKE, YOU LOOK
AT THOSE DISTRICTS 2/3 OF THOSE
VOTERS DO NOT -- THEY DON'T HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH THE INVESTIGATION
BUT THEY DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THIS PROCEEDING AND THEY ARE
MORE CONCERNED WITH THE FACT
THAT THE NEW SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE IS NOT
DOING ANYTHING THAT THEY
PROMISED TO DO.
THEY'VE DONE NOTHING OF
SUBSTANCE ON HEALTH CARE.
THEY'VE DONE NOTHING ON THE
ECONOMY AND THEY'VE DONE NOTHING
ABOUT EMIGRATION.
THESE ARE THE ISSUES THEY WERE
SENT TO WORK ON AND THEY ARE NOT
DOING ANY OF THAT.
INSTEAD THEIR OBSESSION WITH
TRYING TO UNDO THE 2016 ELECTION
AND IMPACT THE NEXT ELECTION IS
GOING TO COST THEM THEIR
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE NEXT FALL.
>> Mike: JEFF ANDREW FROM A
MODERATE NEW JERSEY DISTRICT
DEMOCRAT, EXPRESSING SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.
ARE YOU SURPRISED BY THAT?
>> NOT AT ALL.
REPRESENTATIVE VAN DREW, HIS
SEAT THAT HE WAS TO HOLD IN THE
NEW JERSEY SENATE FLIPPED
REPUBLICAN.
PEOPLE LIKE HIM SHOULD BE VERY
CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY WILL
LIKELY BE ONE TERM
REPRESENTATIVES BECAUSE OF THIS
OBSESSION WITH IMPEACHMENT.
OBSESSION WITH HATRED OF THE
PRESIDENT, INSTEAD OF GETTING
THE WORK THAT PEOPLE HAVE SENT
THEM THERE TO DO.
NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE ON
HEALTH CARE THAT'S BEEN SIGNED
