Republican senator from South Carolina
Senator Lindsey Graham is chairman of
the Judiciary Committee he also sits on
the Appropriations Foreign Relations and
budget committees senator it's good to
see you this morning thanks very much
for joining us
thank you thanks the next couple of days
why will the vote she with the president
be on Wednesday why not tomorrow
well Democrats have the ability to drag
out the trial there was an agreement
reach to do it Wednesday at 4:00 allows
some Democratic candidates go to Iowa I
think they had a lot to do with it but
we're going to turn the page on
impeachment at four o'clock Wednesday
all Republicans will vote not guilty I
think we'll pick up a handful of
Democrats I'm glad this trial is coming
to end it's the closest I ever want to
be to being in purgatory so it's been
painful it's going to end then we're
going to turn the page and deal with the
issues important the American people and
the day of reckoning is coming for
congressional and Senate oversight of
Joe Biden in the FISA warrant process I
want to talk about Joe Biden and the
FISA process because you're in a
position to really get these people down
to speak but first let's talk a moment
on impeachment this goes all the way
back to when the president was first
elected and then in about a year ago
back in January of 2018 Congressman
Tulane what she said let's take a look
at what she said more than a year ago
when your son looks at you says mama
look you won bullies don't win and I hit
baby they talked because we're gonna go
in there with a piece of senator they
have wanted to impeach this president
now for three years we heard it from
congresswoman too late this is not going
to end is it it will only end when the
American people reelect Donald Trump in
November and fire Nancy Pelosi and too
late for being in charge of the house if
you want to exonerate the president
American people and you want to deter
future impeachments like this make sure
President Trump gets reelected and less
fire Nancy Pelosi and what happened to
the Nancy Pelosi that was thoughtful
prayerful said impeachment could only be
done by
harnason to laven these people took over
the Democratic Party and Chuck Schumer
is having a OC breathing down his neck
in terms of a Democratic primary Chuck
Schumer is scared to death to lose his
job to AOC and that's why this debacle
continued in the Senate and Schumer this
morning signaling that the Democrats
will not accept an acquittal as
legitimate Nancy Pelosi hinting that
she's going to call Bolton in the house
John Bolton what's the Dems next move
and how are you going to get anything
done senator if you've actually got the
other side constantly pushing to find
out dirt on Donald Trump well the
president's been successful in spite of
all of this I hope we could turn the
page as a nation and focus on issues
important but as Nancy Pelosi calls
Bolton here's what I would say there
impeaching the president for a
suspension of aid that was eventually
received trying to leverage an
investigation that never happened this
is ridiculous Muller broke their heart
they won't let it go they hate this man
Pelosi is no longer Speaker of the House
just a name only I don't know if they'll
ever let it go but here's what I'm going
to do as they talk to Bolton I'm gonna
bring in State Department officials that
ask him why didn't you do something
about the obvious conflict of interest
Joe Biden head Joe Biden's effort to
combat corruption in the Ukraine became
a joke when Joe Biden got before the
Ukrainian Parliament talking about
sweetheart deals in reforming the energy
sector I can only imagine how they were
laughing under their breath what about
your son Vice President Biden sitting on
the most corrupt board in Ukraine buries
m'a receiving three million dollars I
can only imagine if a Republican had
done what Biden had done but we're going
to get to the bottom of this and I can
prove beyond any doubt that Joe Bynes
effort in the Ukraine to root out
corruption was undercut because he let
his son sit on the board of the most
corrupt company in the Ukraine and we're
not gonna give him a pass on that so how
are you're not gonna give him a pass how
are you gonna get to the bottom of it
should we expect your committee to call
to testify hunter bite
The Whistleblower Adam Schiff all of
those names you've been talking about is
this gonna happen this upcoming wait
then right it's going to happen in the
coming coming weeks Jim Risch is the
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee Jim if you're watching the
show I hope you are we need to call the
chief of staff to John Kerry who was
told about the conflict of interest with
hunter Biden being on bereavements board
early on Heinz the stepson of John Kerry
was a business partner of hunter Biden
and Devin Archer and he told the State
Department I'm not part of this deal I
don't think it's right George can't told
the State Department it would be a
conflict for hunter Biden to be on
bereavement board let's start there
let's call these people in eventually
we'll get to hunter Biden and I want to
know why the Obama administration didn't
did nothing about this obvious conflict
of interest Joe Biden should have given
up the Ukrainian port portfolio or
hunter Bynes should be taken off the
board because they ruined America's
ability to effectively deal with
corruption in the Ukraine by having
hunter Biden on the board of Purisima
that's just a fact and we're going to
get to the bottom of it I mean you even
have John Kerry stepson writing a note
to John Kerry's aide saying yes I don't
like what's gonna have this that we have
this email here that we're gonna show
and he even said I don't want to be
anywhere near this burries in the
situation we are not investing here as
hunter Biden was well those three people
on that email are the first witnesses
did the chief of staff once notified did
he go to John Kerry and say hey Joe
Biden's got a problem can you imagine
what would be happening today if this
were a Republican vice president whose
son received three million dollars from
the most corrupt gas company in the
Ukraine tied to Russia and be front-page
news all over the world we're not gonna
let it go Jim Risch you need to start it
when it comes to FISA I'm going to call
Rosen Stein Sally Yates McCabe and call
me to find out how warrant was issued
against Carter page on four different
occasions without adequate foundation
and find out how how the Department of
Justice and the FBI became so
out of balance when it came to Trump
well what about Adam Schiff senator I
mean Adam Schiff we know has been lying
or fabricating details committee at
least three years we told us collusion
was in plain sight between President
Trump and the Russians he told us he
didn't know who the whistleblower was he
read a parody that he called it which
was not even the the contents of the
phone call between the president and and
the Ukraine leader I mean he's saying
all of this stuff and he's not under
oath will you put him under oath the
house Intel committee excuse me the
Senate Intel committee under Richard
Burr has told us that they that we will
call the whistleblower why is it
important I want to find out how all
this crap started
if the whistleblower is a former
employee associate of Joe Biden I think
that would be important if the
whistleblower was working with people on
shift staff that wanted to take Trump
down a year and a half ago I think that
would be important if the shift staff
people helped write the complaint that
would be important we're going to get to
the bottom of all of this to make sure
this never happens again
Intel Senate Intel will deal with a
whistleblower Foreign Relations
Committee will deal with Joe Biden's
conflict of interests the Judiciary
Committee will deal with all things FISA
and let me tell Republicans out there
you should expect us to do this if we
don't do it we're letting you down and I
guarantee you if it were Democrat
Democrats would be eating us alive if
the Republicans had done any of these
things I can tell you for sure you will
be letting down my viewers they want
accountability for three years this
country has been in hysterics no she
never existed
now this Ukraine situation will be
watching senator thank you we're not
going to let you down thank you so much
