BY THE STUPIDITY OF THESE
ARGUMENTS.
JOINING ME NOW IS CONGRESSMAN
JIM JORDAN AND A MEMBER OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP IMPEACHMENT
DEFENSE TEAM.
DO DEMOCRATS REALLY BELIEVE
THESE ASSERTIONS -- LET'S FOCUS
ON ONE.
THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE WORD
CONSPIRACY WAS USED.
NONE OF THIS IS IN THE ARTICLES
OF IMPEACHMENT.
THEY CAN UNDER THE SENATE RULES
CAN SAY HEARSAY AND GET AWAY
WITH IT.
>> THEY DON'T HAVE THE FACTS.
THEY MAKE THINGS UP.
FRANKLY IT SHOULD NOT SURPRISE
US.
ADAM SCHIFF TOLD US FOR TWO
YEARS I HAVE EVIDENCE THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP WORKED WITH
RUSSIA TO INPLAINS THE ELECTION.
-- TO INFLUENCE THE ELECTION.
THAT WAS NOT TRUE.
ADAM SCHIFF SAID THE FISA
PROCESS WAS JUST FINE.
ADAM SCHIFF SAID WE WOULD HEAR
FROM THE WHISTLEBLOWER.
IT SHOULD NOT SURPRISE US WHAT
HE AND NADLER ARE ASSERTING.
THE FACTS ARE ON THE PRESIDENT'S
SIDE.
THE CONSTITUTION IS ON THE
PRESIDENT'S SIDE AND THE UNFAIR
PROCESS IS ANOTHER GREAT
ARGUMENT THE WHITE HOUSE CAN
MAKE.
WHAT THEY DID IN THE HOUSE WAS
VERY UNFAIR TO THE PRESIDENT.
>> Laura: ONE THING THEY ALLEGED
IS THAT THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T
REALLY CARE ABOUT CORRUPTION IN
OTHER COUNTRIES.
WATCH.
>> THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT
ONLY WANTED A PUBLIC
ANNOUNCEMENT AND NOT THE
INVESTIGATIONS TO ACTUALLY BE
CONDUCTED.
DEMONSTRATES THAT HIS DESIRE FOR
INVESTIGATIONS WAS TO BOOST HIS
REELECTION EFFORTS.
>> Laura: THIS IS WHAT THE
PRESIDENT SAID IN 2016 WHEN HE
WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ABOUT
FOREIGN AID.
>> MY FOREIGN POLICY WILL ALWAYS
PUT THE INTERESTS OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE AND AMERICAN
SECURITY ABOVE ALL ELSE.
I WILL ALSO BE PREPARED TO
DEPLOY AMERICA'S ECONOMIC
RESOURCES, FINANCIAL LEVERAGE
AND SANCTIONS CAN BE VERY, VERY
PERSUASIVE.
>> Laura: THIS HAS BEEN HIS
ENTIRE ARGUMENT.
LOOK AT THE NATO SECRETARY
GENERAL SAID NATO NATIONS ARE
STARTING TO PAY FINES.
>> YES, HE RAN ON THIS.
A COLLEAGUE SAID WE DON'T HAVE
TO PAY PEOPLE TO HATE US.
THEY WILL DO IT FOR FREE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID I AM NOT A
BIG FAN OF THIS, BUT I WANT
OTHER EUROPEAN ALLIES TO SHARE
IN THE BURDEN.
AND UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THE THREE
MOST CORRUPT COUNTRIES ON THE
PLANET.
THE PRESIDENT SAID LET'S CHECK
HIM OUT AND SEE IF HE IS THE
REAL DEAL.
AFTER 55 DAYS HE WAS CONVINCED I
THINK HE IS THE REAL DEAL AND
THE AID WAS RELEASED.
>> Laura: AND DOESN'T HAVE THE
PRESIDENT HAVE IT WITHIN HIS
POWERS TO MAKE THESE CALLS?
>> TOTALLY.
>> Laura: IF HE WANTED TO HOLD
UP THE AID, BUT HE IS THE CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE UNITED
STATES.
IF HE THINKS SOMETHING STINKS IN
THE UKRAINE WITH BIDEN?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THIS OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS.
THAT'S WHAT THE FOUNDERS CALLED
SEPARATION OF POWERS.
>> Laura: CHECKS AND BALANCES.
AND HAKEEM JEFFRIES RAISED
ANOTHER ISSUE REJECTED BY Y'ALL
IN THE HOUSE.
WATCH.
>> READ THE TRANSCRIPT PRESIDENT
TRUMP SAYS.
WE HAVE READ THE TRANSCRIPT AND
IT IS DAMNING EVIDENCE OF A
CORRUPT QUID PRO QUO.
THE EVIDENCE AGAINST DONALD
TRUMP IS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.
>> Laura: THAT'S VERY DRAMATIC.
THAT'S AN L.A. LAW MOMENT.
>> THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
THERE WAS NEVER ANY LINKAGE
PROMISING AN INVESTIGATION TO
GET RELEASE OF THE MONEY.
I ASKED SONLAND WHEN DID THIS
HAPPEN?
IT NEVER DID.
THEY GOT THE MONEY ON SEPTEMBER
11th AND THE MEETING ON
SEPTEMBER 25th.
>> Laura: ADAM SCHIFF SAID
THAT'S BECAUSE HE WAS CAUGHT.
>> NOT TRUE.
AUGUST 31st, SENATOR JOHNSON ON
A PHONE CALL WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
THE PRESIDENT TELLS HIM YOU WILL
LIKE MY DECISION.
HE WAS BECOMING CONVINCED THAT
ZELENSKY AND THE NEW PARLIMENT
THAT THEY WERE IMPLEMENTING THE
REFORMS THEY NEEDED TO
IMPLEMENT.
>> Laura: THEY WOULD HAVE PUT
THE QUID PRO QUO IN THE ARTICLES
OF IMPEACHMENT, RIGHT?
>> THEY RECEIVED QUID PRO QUO ON
