>> DEMOCRATS PROSECUTING THE PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. >> WHAT YOU’RE SEEING FROM THE
HOUSE MANAGERS IS A REMARKABLY
DISCIPLINED LAYING OUT OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES, NARRATIVE.
CIRCUMSTANCES, NARRATIVE. >> ADAM SCHIFF, I THINK, IT’LL
GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE GREATEST
PERFORMANCES.
PERFORMANCES. >> RISING TO THE LEVEL OF
SENATORIAL ELOQUENCE IF THERE’S
SUCH A THING.
>> POWERFUL AND FORCEFUL SPEECH.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS DOZEN, THE
WAY HE WOVE THROUGH BOTH THE
FACTS TO HAVE CASE AND THE
HISTORICAL CONTEXT WAS REALLY
REMARKABLE.
REMARKABLE. STEVE: AS SOON AS HE SAID
DAZZLING THIS MAN STARTED
LAUGHING, JASON CHAFFETZ, FORMER
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, FORMER
CHAIR OF HOUSE OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE.
COMMITTEE. BRIAN: LOST A LOT OF JOBS.
STEVE: "FOX & FRIENDS" IN THE
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND. >> THAT WAS FUN.
STEVE: WAS IT DAZZLING?
>> I HAD TO LIVE 8 AND A HALF
YEARS WITH JERRY NADLER AND ADAM
SCHIFF, LOOK, JERRY NADLER IN
PARTICULAR LOST ME ABOUT
SENTENCE 2 OR 3 WHEN HE STARTED
THAT THE FACTS ARE UNDISPUTED,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
IS THERE ANYTHING CREDIBLE THAT
HE SAYS AFTER THAT TO SAY THAT
THE FACTS ARE UNDISPUTED, I
DON’T THINK IT’S EFFECTIVE AT
ALL.
ALL. BRIAN: THEY LOST IT, LINDSEY
GRAHAM WENT CRAZY.
>> I THINK THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
ONLY TWO GOALS, DAY ONE WAS NOT
WINNING OVER THE JR., IT WAS
ABOUT ESTABLISHING IN THEIR MIND
A NARRATIVE THAT THEY CAN GO OUT
AND SAY, LOOK, THE SENATE
PROCESS WAS TOTALLY UNFAIR, WE
WOULD HAVE WON BUT IT WAS
TOTALLY UNFAIR, DAY 2 WAS ABOUT
SAYING, HEY, THE PRESIDENT IS
GOING TO CHEAT, HE’S GOING CHEAT
AND TRY TO UNDERMINE THE 2020
ELECTION.
ELECTION. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
ACTUALLY PROVING THEIME, AND A H
HOURS BUT HE WENT ON AND ON --
EXACTLY, HE SAID BASICALLY WE’VE
GOT TO STOP THIS PRESIDENT
BEFORE THE ELECTION IN 2020, HIS
MISCONDUCT HAS BEEN SO BAD WE’VE
GOT TO STOP IT, THEY TRIED TO
STOP IT IN THE BEGINNING,
IMPEACH, IMPEACH, WE HEARD DAN
BONGINO, WHEN A CRIME WAS
COMMITTED, YOU FIND THE
CRIMINAL.
CRIMINAL. IN THIS CASE THEY FOUND A
CRIMINAL, NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO
FIND A CRIME.
>> AL GREEN, THE CONGRESSMAN
FROM TEXAS SAID REPEATEDLY, THEY
BELIEVE THEY NEED TO IMPEACH
THIS PERSON BECAUSE HE MIGHT WIN
ANOTHER ELECTION.
ANOTHER ELECTION. THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT THIS
IS ABOUT.
IS ABOUT. STEVE: OF COURSE, THE ELECTION
IS COMING UP IN NOVEMBER, JOE
BIDEN WOULD LIKE TO BE
PRESIDENT, HE’S GOT A REALLY
GOOD POINT THAT YOU HAVE NOT
HEARD YET REGARDING JOE BIDEN
TESTIFYING, FIRST LET’S GO OUT
TO IOWA, HERE IS JOE, IS HE
GOING TO SHOW AS A WITNESS?
NO.
NO. >> THE REASON WHY I WOULD NOT
MAKE THE DEAL THE BOTTOM LINE IS
IS I -- THIS IS A CONSTITUTE --
CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE AND WE WILL
NOT TURN IT INTO A FARCE, A
POLITICAL THEATER, THEY ARE
TURNING IT IN A POLITICAL
THEATER, I DON’T WANT NO PART OF
BEING PART OF THAT.
STEVE: JOE SAYS HE WON’T GO BUT
AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE AN
INTERESTING, HE WAS VICE
PRESIDENT DURING THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
ADMINISTRATION. >> THIS IS WHY I DON’T BELIEVE
THEY’LL BE ANY WITNESSES BECAUSE
WHEN A PRESIDENT LEAVES OFFICE
HE DOES NOT LEAVE BEHIND
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE, IN JOE
BIDEN’S CASE THEY WILL CLAIM
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE AND HUNTER
BIDEN, HE WOULD SIMPLY PLEA THE
FIFTH.
FIFTH. IN THE CASE OF BOLTON OR MICK
MULVANEY, THE PRESIDENT HAS A
VERY LEGITIMATE CASE OF
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE, IT DOESN’T
MEAN YOU’RE HIDING SOMETHING,
YOU GET TO INVOKE THE PRIVILEGE.
STEVE: JOHN ROBERTS KNOW BETTER
THAN ANYONE THAT THERE’S
HISTORICAL PRECEDENT FOR JUST
THAT.
THAT. >> LOOK, THE DEMOCRATS’ GOAL IS
TO TALK TO THEIR VOTERS AND TRY
TO SULLY UP AND BLOODY UP THE
PRESIDENT AND TRY TO MAKE THAT
THE REPUBLICANS ARE COVERING
THINGS UP AND TO PUT THOSE
VULNERABLE SENATE REPUBLICANS IN
A PLACE WHERE THEY HAVE TO TAKE
TOUGH VOTES.
TOUGH VOTES. AINSLEY: FOUR REPUBLICANS FLIP
AND THEY DECIDE TO VOTE FOR
WITNESSES BECAUSE THE WITNESSES
ARE NOT GOING TO TALK ANYWAY.
>> I DON’T THINK SO, IF THEY GET
TO THAT MOMENT OF DRAMA, THEY’LL
BE A SHOWDOWN AT NIGH NOON, I
WISH IT WAS SOONER RATHER THAN
LATER, I DON’T THINK ANYONE WILL
ACTUALLY END UP TESTIFYING.
BRIAN: WE WILL SEE, THEY WILL
VOTE AS EARLY AS NEXT WEEK,
GUESS WHO IS PROBABLY PRAYING
FOR NO WITNESSES, KLOBUCHAR,
WARREN AND SANDERS, THEY ARE
LOSING IOWA WHILE BIDEN AND
MAYOR PETE MAKING THE MOST OF
THIS MOMENT, I’M GETTING REPORTS
RIGHT NOW JASON CHAFFETZ,
DAZZLING.
DAZZLING. DAZZLING.
DAZZLING. [LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] AINSLEY: SO DAZZLING WE WILL
KEEP IT.
KEEP IT. >> I APPRECIATE IT.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] AINSLEY: YOU CAN WATCH HIM IN
