PLANE, NOW DECLARING SUPPORT FOR
THE PROTESTERS AGAINST THE
REGIME.
THE SCENE IS UNFOLDING AND HAS
BEEN AN INSPIRATION.
HE PUT FORWARD A RESOLUTION
TODAY TO SUPPORT THE PROTESTERS
BUT BLAMES DEMOCRATS FOR
BLOCKING IT.
HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVIN
McCARTHY JOINS ME NOW, GOOD TO
HAVE YOU WITH US, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
SO WHY DID IT GET VOTED DOWN?
>> I'M NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD GET
VOTED DOWN BECAUSE WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT AMERICA, AMERICA IS
MORE OF THAN A COUNTRY, WE STAND
FOR FREEDOM.
THIS WEEKEND, WHEN YOU WATCH
THOSE COLLEGE STUDENTS WANTING
PEOPLE TO WALK OVER IT AND THEY
TOOK THE PARK TO WALK AROUND IT,
EVEN BULLYING THOUGH AND SAID IT
IS ALMOST LIKE THAT MOMENT 30
YEARS AGO WITH THAT YOUNG MAN
STANDING IN FRONT OF A TANK.
WE SHOULD STAND TOGETHER AND NOT
MAKE IT POLITICAL.
>> Martha: SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE
CRITICAL OF THE RESOLUTION JUST
SAY IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY TEETH,
WHAT DOES IT REALLY DO, WHAT
WOULD IT HAVE DONE FOR THE
PROTESTERS?
>> WHAT WOULD IT DO IS SEND A
VERY CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES, CONDONES THE
REGIME SHOT DOWN AND KILLED 176
INNOCENT PEOPLE.
TELL THEM NOT TO KILL THOSE WHO
WERE PROTESTING.
2 MONTHS AGO, THEY KILLED 1500
PROTESTERS AND THEY ARE STILL
COMING OUT FOR FREEDOM.
IT'S THE SAME THING WE DID IN
THIS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FOR THOSE IN HONG KONG AND THE
DIFFERENCE IS, THIS IS
EXACTLY -- WE ARE MORE POWERFUL
WITH OUR OWN MESSAGE BUT THINK
ABOUT THE MESSAGE THEY GAVE THEM
LAST WEEK, GAVE FALSE HOPE TO
THE REGIME THAT SOMEHOW WE WERE
DOING SOMETHING WITH THE WAR
POWERS ACT.
THIS RESOLUTION WOULD BE TELLING
THOSE THAT WE ARE STANDING WITH
THOSE WHO STAND FOR FREEDOM AND
WE WILL ALWAYS DO THAT.
>> Martha: THE LIMIT ON THE
PRESIDENT'S MILITARY POWER ON
IRAN AND OTHER PLACES DID GET
SOME REPUBLICAN SUPPORT AND YOUR
RESOLUTION DID NOT GET ANY
DEMOCRAT SUPPORT.
>> MORE DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR
HOURS THAN REPUBLICANS VOTING
THERE.
REMEMBER WHAT THAT BILL WAS,
THEY PUT IT ON A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION AND I KNOW THAT IS
INSIDE BASEBALL BUT WE USE
CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS TO HAVE
THE SOAP BOX DERBY IN THE
CAPITAL, TO GIVE SOMEBODY A
CEREMONIAL METAL INSIDE THE
CAPITAL.
HAD NO BEARING, NO BINDING IT
WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE
PRESIDENT TO CURVE HIS HAND WHEN
IT CAME TO WAR POWERS.
>> Martha: WOULD YOUR
RESOLUTION HAVE HAD ANY OF THOSE
THINGS?
>> THIS WOULD BE BINDING AND NOT
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, IT
WOULD GO TO THE PRESIDENT, SEND
A MESSAGE OF THE HOUSE IS
SPEAKING IS ONE JUST AS WE DID
WITH HONG KONG, JUST AS WE DID
WITH THE SHIPYARD WORKERS, JUST
AS WE DID WITH THE BERLIN WALL
COLLAPSED.
WE NEED TO SPEAK FOR FREEDOM.
>> Martha: I WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THE NEXT IMPEACHMENT MOVES
BECAUSE NOW THE HOUSE IS GOING
TO SEND THOSE IMPEACHMENT
ARTICLES TOMORROW MORNING, WE
EXPECT THAT THAT HAPPENS AROUND
10:00 A.M.
DO YOU THINK WE WILL SEE
WITNESSES IN THE SENATE TRIAL
ESPECIALLY GIVEN SOME OF THE
INFORMATION THAT IS COMING OUT
FROM THE LEV PARNAS DOCUMENTS
WITH REGARD TO PRESSURING
ZELENSKY TO LOOK INTO JOE BIDEN,
SOME MORE CONCRETE INFORMATION
COMING FORTH TONIGHT THAT WILL
BE INCLUDED IN THOSE ARTICLES
WHEN THEY GO TO THE SENATE?
>> I DON'T SEE WHY YOU WOULD
NEED TO BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE
TRANSCRIPT, YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL
CALL, IT IS NOT HEARSAY COMING
OF THE PRESIDENT TALKING TO THE
PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE.
THEY HAVE RECEIVE THE MONEY, NO
QUID PRO QUO, NO REASON TO GO
FORWARD.
AND THAT IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE
SENATE.
THE SENATE'S ROLE IS TO SIT
THERE AS A JURY AND MOVED OVER.
YOU'RE SO WORRIED ABOUT HAVING
BOLTON AS A WITNESS, WHY DIDN'T
THEY SUBPOENA THEM IN THE HOUSE?
THIS IS THE DIFFERENT, THE
CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEY, THEN
VOTE THIS IS THE WEAKEST
IMPEACHMENT IN THE HISTORY AND
REALLY THE ONLY ABUSE IS THAT
THE DEMOCRATS GIVING SOMEONE A
TIME BEFORE THEY GO TO COURT.
SO I THINK THEY KNOW THIS IS
VERY WEAK.
