>> WELCOME BACK.
WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE TENNESSEE
SENATOR MARSHA BLACKBURN.
IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU.
I'VE GOT A START WITH THE
BASIC QUESTION, BASED ON WHAT
WE KNOW NOW, WOULD YOU VOTE TO
CONVICT PRESIDENT TRUMP IF
THERE'S A TRIAL.
>> OF COURSE NOT.
WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT THE HOUSE
IS PROBABLY GOING TO PICK THIS
UP.
THEY ARE WANTING TO PROVE QUID
PRO QUO THAT SOMETHING
NEFARIOUS WAS DONE, BUT THIS
IS THEIR MULLER DO OVER AND
THEY ARE TRYING TO GO AT IT
AGAIN.
IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO REALIZE
THIS IS A THREE-YEAR PROCESS
FOR THEM.
WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THE CALL
TOOK PLACE ON JULY 25.
WE DO KNOW THERE IS NO
EVIDENCE OF A QUID PRO QUO
WHILE.
AND WE DO KNOW THAT THE RULES
HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY THE CIA
ON HOW A WHISTLEBLOWER
COMPLAINT CAN BE FILED.
OVER THE PAST YEAR, IT WAS
CHANGED SO THAT YOU WOULD HAVE
THE ABILITY FOR SOMEONE TO
FILE A COMPLAINT WITHOUT
FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS
WHOLE STORY, THIS IS SOMETHING
WE'VE SEEN OVER AND OVER IN
THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I MEANT
TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE MEDIA
AND ITS BIAS LATER ON.
SURELY YOU CAN'T BE OKAY WITH
IT, ANY OF THIS, IS THERE
OTHER ELEMENTS THAT YOU WANT
TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT.
>> WE WANT TO FIND OUT ABOUT
EVERYTHING, BUT HERE'S WHAT WE
ALSO KNOW IS THAT THE
PRESIDENT DIDN'T WAIT FOR
SOMETHING TO BE MADE PUBLIC.
HE MADE IT PUBLIC HIMSELF
BECAUSE HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT
HE WAS IN THE RIGHT.
A LOT OF TRANSPARENCY, THEY
TRY TO SAY THERE'S A
COVER-UP.
THERE IS NO COVER-UP WHEN YOU
RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPT THAT IS
AT THE HEART OF THIS, BUT THEY
ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP GOING
AFTER DONALD TRUMP.
HE IS THE ONE WHO IS BREAKING
APART THEIR VERSION OF
OFFICIAL WASHINGTON, AND HE
SAID HE WAS GOING TO DRAIN THE
SWAMP.
HE IS DRAINING THE SWAMP.
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO MOVE
POWER BACK TO THE PEOPLE.
HE IS MOVING THAT POWER BACK
TO THE PEOPLE, AND WE KNOW
FROM THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE
JULY 25 PHONE CALL, THAT THERE
IS NO EVIDENCE OF QUID PRO QUO
AND WE KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN AT
THIS FOR THREE YEARS.
>> YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS
IN THE SENATE THIS WEEK, AND
YOU MENTIONED WASN'T LIKE A
TELEPHONE TOWN HALL, TELL US
ABOUT THAT.
>> I DO THESE PERIODICALLY AND
IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR PEOPLE TO
WEIGH IN ON ISSUES OF CONCERN
TO THEM, AND THERE'S ALWAYS A
VARIETY OF ISSUES THAT ARE
COVERED, BUT IT WAS SO
INTERESTING TO ME THAT PEOPLE
WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE
PRESIDENT, THAT WERE GRATEFUL
FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING
DONE FOR THE ECONOMY AND THE
WAY IT IS GROWING, THE WAY YOU
ARE SEEING JOBS GROW IN THE
CALLS AND E-MAILS AND THE
TENNESSEANS THAT I HAVE SEEN
THIS WEEK, AND THEY'RE SAYING
STAND WITH THE PRESIDENT, I
WAS JUST CHECKING SOME E-MAILS
AND I HAD ONE FROM A LADY WHO
I SO VALUE HER OPINION.
SHE'S A CHEF AND HAS WORKED IN
THE FEUD INDUSTRY AND SHE SAID
WHERE ARE PEOPLE WITH
BACKBONE.
WHO IS GOING TO STAND AND
DEFEND THIS OF MINISTRY.
WHO IS GOING TO DEFEND OUR
CONSTITUTION AND MAKE CERTAIN
THAT WE THE PEOPLE RETAIN THE
POWER AND THAT THE ELITISTS
DON'T GRAB IT ALL BACK UP AND
CUT US OUT OF THE PROCESS.
