WHAT IS HAPPENING IS A WITCH
HUNT.
ED?
ED: ELLISON BARBER, THANK YOU.
LET'S BRING IN THE RANKING
REPUBLICAN ON THE HOUSE INTEL
PANEL, CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN
DEVIN NUÑES.
APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.
>> GREAT TO BE ON YOUR NEW SHOW.
ED: A LOT TO COVER, WANT TO SORT
IT ALL OUT.
I'LL KEEP THE QUESTIONS SHORT IF
YOU KEEP THE ANSWERS SHORT AS
WELL.
SECOND TRANSCRIPT THAT THE
PRESIDENT SAYS HE'S GOING TO
RELEASE, A SECOND PHONE CALL THE
PRESIDENT HAD WITH HIS UKRAINIAN
COUNTERPART.
HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT IN.
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I
HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S ON THE
TRANSCRIPT.
I'M ASSUMING THAT'S THE PRIOR
TRANSCRIPT FROM EARLIER IN THE
YEAR, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S
ON IT, ED.
ED: OKAY.
A NEW MOMENTS -- A FEW MOMENTS
AGO THE ATTORNEY FOR THE
WHISTLEBLOWER PUT OUT THIS
TWEET.
HE SAID THE TOP LAWYER FOR DEVIN
NUÑES TOLD ME IN WRITING THAT
THE REPUBLICANS ALWAYS PROTECT
WHISTLEBLOWERS.
THAT HAD BEEN BY EXPERIENCE WITH
REPUBLICANS
ED: SPEAKING OF POLITICAL BIAS,
THE SAME ATTORNEY FOR THE
WHISTLEBLOWER, AS WE ALL KNOW
KNOW, INFAMOUSLY HAD THIS TWEET
WAY BACK IN 2017 SUGGESTING THAT
THERE WAS A COUP THAT WAS GOING
TO BE LED -- KEVIN McCARTHY,
YOUR REPUBLICAN PARTNER, SPOKE
TO MARIA BARTIROMO AND SAID
SOMETHING PRETTY STRONG.
I WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> A ADAM SCHIFF STARTED THIS
ALL BY WANTING THE WHISTLEBLOWER
TO TESTIFY.
AND NOW ADAM SCHIFF GETS TO
DECIDE WHO COMES FORWARD, AND
NOW HE'S FIGHTING THE
WHISTLEBLOWER FROM COMING
FORWARD?
IT'S CLEAR NOW MORE THAN EVER
THIS IS THE A CALCULATED COUP,
AND IT IS BEING ORCHESTRATED BY
ADAM SCHIFF.
ED: IS THIS A CALCULATED COUP
AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND IF
SO, HOW DO YOU BACK THAT UP?
>> WELL, WE SPENT THREE YEARS ON
THE RUSSIA HOAX, AND REALLY WHAT
THIS LOOK LIKE IS IT'S LIKE THE
CHEAP, KNOCKOFF VERSION TO THE
RUSSIA HOAX WITHOUT THE THE
PRESIDENT OF JUSTICE AND WITHOUT
THE FBI INVOLVED.
IT LOOKS LIKE EITHER THE
DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE ARE
EITHER USEFUL IDIOTS OR THEY'RE
IN ON IT, BUT IT APPEARS LIKE
SOME BUREAUCRACY, IS SOME PARTS
OF THE BUREAUCRACY WERE REALLY
MAD THAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD A SPECIAL
ENVOY TO UKRAINE.
THEY DIDN'T LIKE THAT HE WAS
SENDING RUDY GIULIANI TO UKRAINE
TO FIND OUT WHERE THE DIRT WAS
COMING FROM THAT THE DEMOCRATS
WERE USING TO FEED TO THE FBI --
ED: BUT CONGRESSMAN, ON THIS
POINT, PARDON ME, A CALCULATED
COUP, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?
>> I THINK THERE'S NO QUESTION
THAT IT'S A COUPMENT I MEAN, YOU
CAN CALL IT -- A COUP.
I MEAN, YOU COULD CALL IT WHAT
YOU WANT.
I'VE CALLED IT IN THE PAST A
PAPER COUP.
NOBODY'S RISING UP ARMS AGAINST
THE GOVERNMENT.
BUT WHEN THEY STARTED OUT AT THE
VERY BEGINNING OF CONGRESS
TALKING ABOUT IMPEACHING THE
PRESIDENT, NEARLY EVERY
MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET, NEARLY
EVERY PROFESSIONAL THAT YOU SEE
IN WASHINGTON IN THE SWAMP
THERE, THEY JUST DIDN'T LIKE
THAT A BUSINESSMAN FROM NEW YORK
WITH NO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE
BECAME THE PRESIDENT.
ED: OKAY --
>> THEY'RE BEEN HELL BENT ON --
THEY'VE BEEN HELL BENT ON
IMPEACHING THE PRESIDENT.
ED: IMPEACHMENT IS IN THE
CONSTITUTION, SO HOW IS IT A
COUP IF DEMOCRATS ARE GOING
THROUGH THE PROCEDURES THAT WERE
SET UP BY THE FRAMERS?
>> WELL, IT'S AD GOOD QUESTION.
SO THERE'S WHAT'S IN THE
CONSTITUTION, AND THEN THERE'S
PRECEDENT BY THE HOUSE.
AND SO IF YOU WERE TRYING TO
ACTUALLY RUN A CREDIBLE
IMPEACHMENT WITH THE
CONSTITUTION, AS YOU SAY, YOU
WOULD FOLLOW PRECEDENT.
THIS WOULD BE LIKE THE HIGHEST
LEVEL OF ANY CONVICTION TO
REMOVE A PRESIDENT FROM OFFICE.
SO AT A MINIMUM, YOU SHOULD HAVE
NOT ONLY SHOULD BOTH PARTIES
HAVE WHATEVER WITNESSES THEY
WANT, OKAY?
ALL OF THE WITNESSES THAT THEY
WANT WITH, THEY SHOULD HAVE
SUBPOENA POWER, WE SHOULD BE
ABLE TO GET DOCUMENTS.
THAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED FIRST.
SECONDLY, THE PRESIDENT SHOULD
BE THERE IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
A FAIR PROCESS.
BUT LOOK, MORE THAN THAT, ED,
THERE'S JUST NO EVIDENCE HERE.
LIKE AS OF NOW THIS
WHISTLEBLOWER EXISTS IN ONLY --
BECAUSE ADAM SCHIFF AND HIS, AND
THE DEMOCRATS TOLD US, THE I.G.
TOLD US AND A LAWYER TOLD US.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS PERSON
ACTUALLY EXISTS AND WHAT THEIR
KNOWLEDGE REALLY IS.
ED: ALL FAIR QUESTIONS THAT WILL
BE AIRED WEDNESDAY.
I WANT TO HAVE FAIR QUESTIONS
DIRECTED AT FORMER VICE
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.
ADAM SCHIFF'S ALREADY SHOOTING
DOWN THE IDEA YOU CAN BRING IN
HUNTER BIDEN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW FROM
HIM?
I KNOW YOU'VE TRIED TO MAKE THE
CASE THAT HE IS MATERIAL TO
PRESIDENT'S CONCERN THAT THERE
WAS CORRUPTION GOING ON IN
♪
ED: WELL, GUESS WHAT?
WE FIXED THE GREMLINS, AND WE
GET A LITTLE BONUS TIME WITH
CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN DEVIN
NUÑES.
CONGRESSMAN, I APPRECIATE YOU
GUTTING IT OUT.
I WAS PRESSING YOU ABOUT THESE
TRUE COMMENTSES AND HOW YOU BACK
IT UP, I WANT TO GET TO WHAT YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT AS WELL WHICH
IS THAT YOU AND OTHER
REPUBLICANS ARE UPSET THAT ADAM
SCHIFF HAS SHUT DOWN THE IDEA OF
BRINGING IN HUNTER BIDEN.
REACT TO WHAT THE CHAIRMAN DID
THIS WEEKEND, BUT TELL ME
SPECIFICALLY WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
HEAR FROM HUNTER BIDEN?
>> WELL, I THINK AT THE VERY
HEART OF THIS IS, IS THAT WE
DESERVE OUR WITNESSES, RIGHT IN
WE DESERVE SOME WITNESSES.
AND THE MEDIA HAS BEEN OUT THERE
SAYING HE'S GOING TO GIVE US OUR
WITNESSES.
SO CLEARLY ARE, HUNTER BIDEN IS
AT THE CENTER BECAUSE THE
QUESTION IS WHAT WERE THE
DEMOCRATS DOING IN THE UKRAINE.
SO WE KNOW THAT THEY WERE PAYING
INFORMANTS LIKE FUSION GPS TO
DIG UP DIRT IN THE UKRAINE.
LATER ON WE FIND OUT THAT HUNTER
BIDEN IS RECEIVING UP TO $83,000
A MONTH.
NOW, ANY NORMAL AMERICAN THAT
LIVES IN ANYWHERE BUT NEW YORK
CITY KNOWS IT'S NOT NORMAL FOR
SOMEBODY TO MAKE $83,000 A
MONTH.
ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE
THE SON OF THE CURRENT SITTING
VICE PRESIDENT AT THE TIME.
AND THEN LATER WE NOW KNOW FROM
STATE DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTS THAT
THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS MAKING
NUMEROUS CALLS TO UKRAINE JUST
THE WEEK AFTER THAT.
SO IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THIS IS A
FOUNDATIONAL WITNESS AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES WAS CORRECT IN
BEING CONCERNED AND SENDING HIS
LAWYER TO UKRAINE TO FIGURE OUT
WHO WERE THESE UKRAINIANS
DIGGING UP DIRT ON HIM AND WAS
THERE OTHER MALFEASANCE TAKING
PLACE AT THE TIME.
ED: CONGRESSMAN, I APPRECIATE.
THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING
WEDNESDAY AS THESE IMPEACHMENT
HEARINGS BEGIN.
I WILL NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY
THAT YOU WERE TAKING A SHOT AT
PEOPLE IN NEW YORK CITY, WHICH
IS WHERE I AP TO BE SITTING, I
KNOW IT WASN'T DIRECTED AT ME.
