>> Dana: THREE DAYS AND NINE
WITNESSES AND THAT WAS JUST
THIS WEEK.
AND NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP
TELLING DEMOCRATS TO BRING
ON AN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
>> FRANKLY, I WANT A TRIAL.
YOU KNOW, I THINK I COULD
HAVE IT.
>> Brian: YOU WANT A TRIAL?
>> OH, LOOK, NUMBER ONE,
THEY SHOULD NEVER EVER
IMPEACH.
THAT PHONE CALL WAS TOTALLY
APPROPRIATE, OKAY.
TOTALLY.
BUT, ASSUMING THESE PEOPLE
ARE AS SLEAZY AS THEY'RE,
AND NANCY PELOSI IS TOTALLY
INCOMPETENT, SHE HAS LOST
ABSOLUTELY LOST -- WHAT SHE
IS DOING.
IF THEY DO PUT IT UP BECAUSE
THEY ARE CRAZY.
ADAM SCHIFF IS A NUT JOB.
LISTEN TO THIS ADAM SCHIFF
GETS UP BEFORE CONGRESS
ANSWERED MADE UP MY
STATEMENT.
>> Brian: RIGHT.
WE HAVE MADE THAT.
STEVE: RIGHT.
>> WHO MADE THAT STATEMENT?
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON I
WANT MORE THAN WHERE'S
HUNTER AND THAT IS ADAM
SCHIFF.
I WANT TO SEE ADAM SCHIFF
TESTIFY ABOUT THE
WHISTLEBLOWER WHO IS A FAKE
WHISTLEBLOWER BECAUSE THE
WHISTLEBLOWER REPORT WAS
ABOUT MY CONVERSATION WITH
THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE.
IT BORE NO RELATIONSHIP.
IT SAID THERE WERE SEVEN OR
EIGHT QUID PRO QUOS.
THERE WERE NONE.
>> Dana: IMPEACHMENT NOT THE
ONLY INVESTIGATION ON THE
PRESIDENT'S MIND.
AS WE WAIT FOR DOJ AND
WATCHDOG MICHAEL HOROWITZ TO
RELEASE HIS FINDINGS ON THE
ORIGINS OF THE 2016 RUSSIAN
PROBE.
THE PRESIDENT RESPONDING
REPORTS A FORMER FBI
EMPLOYEE ALTERED A KEY
DOCUMENT RELATED TO THE
SURVEILLANCE OF FORMER
CAMPAIGN ADVISOR CARTER
PAGE.
>> THEY WERE SPYING ON MY
CAMPAIGN, AND IT WENT RIGHT
UP TO THE TOP -- AND
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.
AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO FIND
OUT.
THIS WAS AN OVERTHROW
ATTEMPT AT THE PRESIDENCY.
THEY TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE
PRESIDENCY.
THIS IS A DISGRACE.
I'M NOT SURPRISED TO SEE IT.
IT'S JUST STARTING TO COME
OUT.
I THINK THIS IS NOTHING
COMPARED TO WHAT YOU WILL
SEE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
WEEKS.
PEOPLE ARE SICK.
YOU HAVE A FISA REPORT
COMING OUT.
WHICH THE WORD IS IT'S
HISTORIC.
THAT'S WHAT THE WORD IS
THAT'S WHAT I HEAR.
AND IF IT'S HISTORIC, YOU
ARE GOING TO SEE SOMETHING.
>> Dana: THE HIGHLY
ANTICIPATED REPORT ON THOSE
ALLEGED FISA ABUSES THAT THE
PRESIDENT WAS JUST TALKING
ABOUT IS DUE TO COME OUT IN
A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
OF COURSE, WE WILL BRING
THAT TO YOU LIVE.
JOINING ME NOW IS FLORIDA
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN
MICHAEL WALTZ A MEMBER OF
THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEE AND HERE WE ARE
TGIF BECAUSE IT WAS QUITE A
WEEK OF IMPEACHMENT.
>> YEAH.
>> Dana: HOW DO YOU SEE
THINGS AT THE END OF THE
WEEK?
I HAVE DEMOCRATS WHO SAY
THEY MADE A GREAT CASE AND
REPUBLICANS SAY THEY HAVE NO
CASE AT ALL.
BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE IT IS
PROBABLY GOING TO GO FORWARD
WITH IMPEACHMENT IN.
>> I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY
GOING FORWARD WITH
IMPEACHMENT.
THAT WAS THE AGENDA ALL
ALONG.
AND, FRANKLY, I THINK THIS
IS A LOT OF NOISE.
THE PRESIDENT WAS
TRANSPARENT FROM DAY ONE.
HERE'S THE CALL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TRYING
TO IMPUTE INTENT ON THAT
CALL.
WAS THIS ABOUT CORRUPTION IN
2016?
WAS THIS ABOUT AID?
WAS THIS ABOUT GETTING -- I
THINK THE PART THAT'S
OVERLOOKED IS GETTING OUR
ALLIES INVOLVED.
AND THE PRESIDENT HAS HAD
QUESTIONS ABOUT AID FROM DAY
ONE.
HE'S NOT A FAN OF FOREIGN
AID.
I ACTUALLY THINK IT IS VERY
HELPFUL.
BUT HE WANTS SOME VERY
STRICT REQUIREMENTS ON IT.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S
GOING TO BOIL DOWN TO HOW
YOU SEE THAT CALL.
I THINK THE REST OF THIS IS
A LOT OF NOISE.
I HAVE GOT TO TELL FROM YOU
FLORIDIANS BACK HOME WHAT I
GET CLOUD AND CLEAR FROM
THEM IS EVERYTHING WE ARE
NOT DOING.
WHETHER IT'S TRANSPORTATION
AND INFRASTRUCTURE
HEALTHCARE, PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS.
>> Dana: OPIOIDS?
>> I THINK A LOT OF THIS
FLIES OVER THEIR HEAD.
>> Dana: CAN I ASK YOU
THOUGH?
THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO
TRY TO MAKE THE CASE THAT
THE PRESIDENT WAS TRYING TO
ASK USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS
TO ASK A FOREIGN COUNTRY TO
INVESTIGATE A DOMESTIC
POLITICAL RIVAL IN JOE
BIDEN.
DO YOU THINK THAT IS FAIR?
AND IF THE PRESIDENT -- IF
IT TURNS OUT THAT PEOPLE
THINK THAT, YEAH, HE WAS
DOING SOMETHING THAT WAS
INAPPROPRIATE, ASKING PEOPLE
TO -- ASKING UKRAINE TO
INVESTIGATE JOE BIDEN, YOU
KNOW, FOR 2016 OR 2020, DO
YOU THINK IT WAS APPROPRIATE
TO MAKE THAT ASK?
>> I THINK ON THE ONE HAND,
IT IS, YOU KNOW, WHETHER YOU
SEE IT THAT WAY OR WHETHER
YOU SEE THAT HE HAS BEEN
VERY CLEAR SINCE DAY ONE
THAT HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT
2016.
WHAT HAPPENED?
AND THAT'S GOING TO GET TO
THIS FISA REPORT THAT'S
COMING OUT, WHETHER THE
BIDENS ABUSED THEIR POWER AS
A SITTING VICE PRESIDENT TO
ENRICH THEIR FAMILY AND
WE'RE NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT
HOW YOU GET A BILLION
DOLLARS FROM CHINA YET.
OVERLAID WITH HIS CONCERNS
ABOUT ALLIES HELPING UKRAINE
AND YEAR LAID WITH
AND OEAR LAID WITH
AND OVER LAID WITH
AND OVERLLAID WITH
AND OVERLAIID WITH
AND OVERLAIDD WITH
AND OVERLAID WWITH
AND OVERLAID WITTH
AND OVERLAID WITHH
AND OVERLAID WITH HIS
CONCERNS.
I THINK IT'S ALL OF THOSE
PIECES REGARDLESS EVEN IF
YOU TAKE THAT, WHAT THE
DEMOCRATS OR HOW THEY ARE
INTERPRETING THAT PHONE
CALL, EVERYONE I TALK TO
DOESN'T THINK THAT THAT
RISES TO TREASON, BRIBERY,
OR HIGH CRIMES AND
MISDEMEANORS.
IT'S NOT WORTH THE COST A
YEAR WITHIN ELECTION
DRAGGING THE COUNTRY THROUGH
AND NOT GETTING DONE.
>> Dana: ONE OF THE THINGS
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THIS
MORNING HE DOES NOT THINK
SPEAKER PELOSI WILL MOVE
FORWARD WITH THE USMCA
REPLACEMENT OF NAFTA.
HE BELIEVES TRUNK CAN A OF
THE UNIONS HAS HER
MORTIFIED.
>> I HAVE TALKED TO THE
CANADIAN AMBASSADOR AND
MEXICAN AMBASSADOR.
THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE
KNOCKED DOWN EVERY CONCERN
THAT SPEAKER PELOSI'S OFFICE
HAS RAISED.
THIS IS OVER 170,000 JOBS
AND THEN SOME FOR A VERY
GOOD DEAL.
FROM, AND I TALKED TO A LOT
OF MODERATE DEMOCRATS,
PARTICULARLY ONES SITTING IN
TRUMP DISTRICTS, AND THEY
ARE READY FOR THIS DEAL TO
MOVE FORWARD.
I THINK IT'S A MIX OF HER
WORRIES ABOUT DOMESTIC U.S.
LABOR, THE AFL-CIO AND
FRANKLY NOT WANTING TO GIVE
THE PRESIDENT A WIN.
>> Dana: THERE IS NOT A LOT
OF TIME TO BE HAD.
IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE WITH
YOU, YOU WERE ONE OF THE
LEAD CO-SPONSORS OF A BILL
THAT WOULD HELP SECURE VISAS
FOR SYRIAN KURDS.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
WHERE DO YOU THINK IT WILL
GO FROM HERE.
>> I SPONSORED MY,
PERSONALLY SPONSORED AFGHAN
INTERPRETERS AND SOLDIERS
THAT FOUGHT WITH US TO COME
TO THE UNITED STATES.
THEY ARE NOW U.S. CITIZENS,
STARTING THEIR OWN BUSINESS
AND THEY ARE THRIVING.
HERE'S THE THING, DANA, THEY
DON'T JUST PUT THEIR OWN
LIVES ON THE LINE TO STAND
WITH US.
THEY PUT THEIR ENTIRE
FAMILIES' LIVES ON THE LINE
TO STAND WITH US.
AND I ACTUALLY LOST ONE ON
THE WAITING LIST.
HE WAS EXECUTED ALONG WITH
MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY.
>> Dana: THAT MUST BE HARD
TO TAKE.
>> IT WAS INCREDIBLY
DIFFICULT.
WE HAVE OVER 20,000 ON THE
WAITING LIST.
SO TWO POINTS.
THIS WAR ON TERROR ISN'T
GOING ANYWHERE ANY TIME SOON
AND WE ARE ABSOLUTELY
DEPENDENT ON THOSE
INTERPRETERS AND OUR LOCAL
ALLIES TO FIGHT THIS WAR
AGAINST ISIS AND OTHERS.
TWO, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
IMMIGRATION, WE TALK ABOUT
MERIT-BASED IMMIGRATION AND
WHO DESERVES TO COME HERE,
WHO DESERVES TO BE IN THE
FRONT OF THE LINE, I CAN'T
THINK OF ANYONE MORE
DESERVING THAN THOSE WHO
STOOD AND FOUGHT WITH
AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
>> Dana: DO YOU HAVE THE
PRESIDENT'S EAR ON THIS?
>> WELL, WE HAVE THE WHITE
HOUSE'S EAR ON IT,
ABSOLUTELY.
AND I THINK ALONG THE LINES,
AGAIN, WE PUT IT IN THAT
BROADER NARRATIVE OF WHAT
IMMIGRANTS DESERVE TO COME
HERE ON A MERIT BASED SYSTEM
AND THE WHITE HOUSE IN ITS
REFUGEE PROTOCOLS HAS
RESERVED SEVERAL THOUSANDS
FOR THE AFGHANS AND IRAQIS
AND WE NEED TO GET THEIR
WITH THE SYRIANS.
>> Dana: DO WE HAVE OTHER
TIME -- WE HAD SOUND FROM
CARTER PAGE THAT I DIDN'T
GET TO THAT THEY WANT ME TO
GET TO.
CARTER PAGE GAIN ADVISOR FBI
OFFICIAL UNDER CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION ALTERED A
DOCUMENT THAT WOULD HAVE LED
TO HIS SURVEILLANCE.
LET'S LISTEN TO HIM.
>> THEY HAVE BEEN FALLS
>> THEY HAVE BEEN FALSIFYING
DOCUMENTS AND PROVIDING
FALSE TESTIMONY IN THE COURT
OF LAW, COURTS OF LAW FOR
YEARS, NOT ONLY WAS I NEVER
CHARGED WITH ANYTHING, I
HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED ANY
QUESTION BY ANY OF THE
FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS EITHER
DOJ OR FBI THAT EVEN MADE
ANY SENSE OR, YOU KNOW,
HINTED AT ANY CRIMINALITY
WHATSOEVER.
SO, IT'S NOT EVEN JUST CLEAR
AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE.
IT'S JUST THERE'S NO
EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER BECAUSE
I NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG.
>> Dana: THE IG REPORT COMES
OUT AND SHOWS THERE IS
MALFEASANCE WHAT'S THE NEXT
QUESTION.
>> NUMBER ONE HOW HIGH DID
THIS GO?
DID WE EITHER HAVE A ROGUE
FBI OR I CAN'T IMAGINE ON
THE EVE OF A PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION WHEN YOU ARE
LOOKING AT SURVEILLING THE
OTHER SIDE'S NOMINEE THAT
THIS DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY
UP INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.
THAT HAS HUGE CONSEQUENCES,
CONSTITUTIONALLY.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THE
OTHER PIECE IS THE FISA
PROCESS IS SACRED IN OUR
DEMOCRACY.
THAT'S THE POWER OF THE
STATE TO SURVEIL OUR OWN
CITIZENS.
AND IF THAT WAS CORRUPTED IN
ANY WAY WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE
TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
