MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
THE PRESIDENT TAKING AIM AT THE
DEMOCRATS' IMPEACHMENT PUSH THIS
MORNING FOR A THURSDAY STRAIGHT
EVENING LAST NIGHT AT THE VALUES
VOTERS SUMMIT IN WASHINGTON.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE CONSUMED BY
THEIR, QUOTE, HATE TO SEE HIM
REMOVED FROM OFFICE, THAT THE
HE'S LOOKING INTO I SUING
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI AND ADAM
SCHIFF, PELOSI'S POINT MAN IN
THE HOUSE'S IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.
WATCH.
>> THE RADICAL LEFT TOLERATES NO
DISSENT, IT PERMITS NO
OPPOSITION.
IT ACCEPTS NO COMPROMISE.
AND, LOOK, WE HAVE ALL SEEN IT.
WE SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
THERE IS NO COMPROMISE.
FRANKLY, THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
MARIA: JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS
THE COUNSELOR TO PRESIDENT,
KELLYANNE CONWAY.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING, MARIA.
MARIA: I WANT TO GET YOUR
REACTION TO THE NEWS OF THE
MORNING, AND THAT IS THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL'S REPORTING THAT
HUNTER BIDEN PLANS TO NOW STEP
DOWN FROM THE BOARD OF A CHINESE
PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM.
>> YES.
WELL, HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS
QUITE A WHILE AGO.
IN FACT, HE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD TO BEGIN
WITH.
HE HITCHED A RIDE ON AIR FORCE
TWO WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, ALSO HIS
FATHER AT THAT TIME, CAME BACK
WITH SWEETHEART DEALS, AND I AM
REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN SO MANY
MEMBERS OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
STRETCHING THEIR NECKS TO DEFEND
HUNTER BIDEN SAYING -- AND WE
MUST SAY THAT THERE'S NO
WRONGDOING HERE, NOTHING
ILLEGAL.
FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE HATE
ABOUT THE SWAMP.
THIS IS A PART OF HOW DONALD
TRUMP WON IN THE FIRST PLACE,
SAYING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET
RID OF THESE SWEETHEART DEALS,
MAKE SURE THAT WE CLEAN UP THE
AXIS OF POWER IN A PLACE LIKE
WASHINGTON, D.C. WHERE SOMEONE
LIKE HUNTER BIDEN GETS A $50,000
A MONTH RETAINER FOR UKRAINE
JANUARY ENERGY COMPANY WHEN
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT HE DOESN'T
HAVE THAT SKILL SET.
AND, MARIA, I WANT TO SAY A
COUPLE THINGS.
JOE BIDEN'SS IN BIG TROUBLE.
HE'S PLUMMETING IN THE POLLS,
HE'S CALLING FOR THE PRESIDENT'S
IMPEACHMENT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T
HAVE A PATH TO BEAT THE
PRESIDENT AT THE BALLOT BOX.
IF THE DEMOCRATS THOUGHT THAT
THEY COULD DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP A
YEAR FROM NOW, THEY'D PUT ALL
THEIR ENERGIES BEHIND THAT
CANDIDATE, BUT THEY CAN'T DO IT
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE IT.
THEY HAVE TO RUN AGAINST THE
TRUMP ECONOMY, DEREGULATION, THE
FACT THAT WE ARE NET EXPORTERS
OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS, THAT
HE'S PROMISING PEACE AND
PROSPERITY AROUND THE GLOBE.
AND I THINK JOE BIDEN'S NOW SEEN
AS HUNTER BIDEN'S FATHER, NOT AS
BARACK OBAMA'S VICE PRESIDENT.
AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING WHERE IS
HUNTER?
FINE.
WHERE IS PRESIDENT OBAMA?
WHY ISN'T HE OUT THERE
SUPPORTING THE MAN WHO SERVED AS
HIS VICE PRESIDENT FOR EIGHT
YEARS?
WHY ISN'T BIDEN ON TOP OF THE
POLLS JUST BY SAYING I'M GOING
TO BRING US BACK TO THE OBAMA
YEARS, GIVE YOU EIGHT MORE OF
THE OBAMA YEARS.
HE'S IN TROUBLE, THAT'S WHY HE'S
CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT.
AND IN THE PRESIDENT'S DEFENSE
WENT HE SAID IN THE CALL, HEY,
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT BIDEN
AND HIS SON, THEY DARN WELL
WERE.
THE HILL HAD AN ARTICLE ON APRIL
1ST, FOX NEWS, CNN, JUNE 12TH.
ABC, JUNE 20TH.
AND MAY I TELL EVERYBODY, THREE
MONTHS AGO THE NEW YORKER HAD A
SCATHING COVER STORY ABOUT
HUNTER BIDEN AND SAID COULD HIS
BUSINESS DEALINGS IN THE UKRAINE
AND, QUOTE, TUMULTUOUS PERSONAL
LIFE --
MARIA: RIGHT.
>> -- DAMAGE HIS FATHER'S CHANCE
AT THE PRESIDENCY.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THREE MONTHS
AGO PEOPLE IN HIDING NOW.
MARIA: WHY IS HE STILL THE
FRONT-RUNNER?
OBVIOUSLY, IT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT
IF HE'S THE VICE PRESIDENT AND
HIS SON GETTING MONEY FROM THE
CHINESE WHILE THE VICE PRESIDENT
IS DOING OFFICIAL BUSINESS WITH
THE CHINESE, BUT JOE BIDEN IF
YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS IS STILL
THE FRONT-RUNNER IN THE 2020
ELECTION.
>> WELL, BARELY.
AND I'M ONE OF THE PEOPLE AROUND
THE PRESIDENT WHO SAYS, YOU
KNOW, PROP HIM UP.
MEANING LET'S KEEP BIDEN IN
THERE, BECAUSE BIDEN MADE A HUGE
MISTAKE.
HE COULD HAVE HAD THIS RUNNING
AWAY HAD HE ANNOUNCED THE
PRESIDENCY BY GOING TO FIVE
STATES THAT OBAMA-BIDEN WON AND
THEN DONALD TRUMP AND MIKE PENCE
WON.
IS WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA,
OHIO, IOWA, MICHIGAN.
HE DIDN'T DO.
THAT HE SENT OUT A VIDEOTAPE
ABOUT THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY
BEEN DISPROVEN.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING,
HE'S 0-2 RUNNING FOR HIMSELF FOR
PRESIDENT.
BUT HE'S NOT MY PROBLEM.
THE REASON HE'S THE FRONT-RUNNER
IS BECAUSE THE REST OF THE FIELD
ARE UNABASHED SOCIALISTS.
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE BERNIE SANDERS
INSULTING ELIZABETH WARREN.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID?
SOCIALIST BERNIE SANDERS
INSULTED SOCIALIST ELIZABETH
WARREN BY SAYING SHE'S ACTUALLY
A CAPITALIST.
HE THINKS THAT'S AN INSUMMIT
BIDEN WAS LEADING BY 20, 30
POINTS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, NOW
A LOT OF NATIONAL POLLS SHOW
WARREN SURGING.
MARIA: DO YOU THINK WARREN WILL
BE THE FRONT-RUNNER?
DO YOU THINK IT'LL BE
TRUMP-WARREN IN 2020?
>> HAVE NO IDEA.
I'M SURE A COUPLE OF THE STRAP
HANGERS WHO ARE IN THIRD, FOURTH
AND FIFTH ARE GOING TO HANG IN
THERE.
I DO THINK IT'S FUNNY THAT IN A
PARTY THAT SAYS WE'RE WOKE AND
WE'RE GOING TO BE
TRANSFORMATIONAL, THEY'RE NOT
BACKING THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
WOMAN, THEY'RE NOT BACKING
AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN.
MARIA: YEAH.
>> THEY'RE NOT BACKING THE GAY
MAN, THE MAYOR.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO
ARE DIFFERENT.
THEY COULD DO THAT.
THOSE ARE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
VOTERS, AND THEY'VE GOT THE
THREE WHITE PEOPLE AT THE TOP OF
THE POLLS.
WHAT I THINK IS GOING ON WITH
IMPEACHMENT IS A DISGRACE.
ADAM SCHIFF LOVES TO BE IN FRONT
OF THE CAMERAS, AND YET THE ONE
PLACE HE'S NOT IN FRONT OF THE
CAMERAS IS WHILE HE'S LEADING AN
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.
MARIA: YEAH.
>> THAT'S SO CURIOUS TO ME.
WHY DOESN'T HE COME OUT IN THE
OPEN, AND I WANT ADAM SCHIFF
UNDER OATH EVERY TIME HE TALKS,
BECAUSE HE DOES WHAT LIARS AND
CHEATERS DO, THEY LIE AND THEY
CHEAT.
HE LIES TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
HE HAS NO CREDIBILITY.
100 REPUBLICANS HAVE CALLED FOR
HIS CENSURE.
MARIA: WE'LL SEE.
HE SAID IT WAS THE IN PLAIN
SIGHT, THE COLLUSION BETWEEN
DONALD TRUMP --
>> YEAH, AND HE LIED.
MARIA: -- IF TWO YEARS.
I WANT DO YOU ABOUT CHINA.
THE MARKETS RALLIED BIG ON
FRIDAY BECAUSE THERE WAS A SENSE
THAT A DEAL WAS GETTING DONE,
AND THE PRESIDENT TWEETED ON
SATURDAY THAT AN INITIAL TRADE
AGREEMENT WITH CHINA WAS THE
GREAT AND BIGGEST DEAL EVER,
CITING WINS FOR U.S. FARMERS AND
BILLIONS IN BOEING PLANE SALES.
CAN THIS DEAL STAND WITH THE
CHINESE JUST BUYING MORE STUFF
FROM AMERICA?
WHAT ABOUT THE INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY THEFT THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN SO MUCH
ABOUT AND THE FORCED TRANSFER OF
TECHNOLOGY?
DO YOU FEEL THAT THIS INITIAL
DEAL GETS A HANDLE ON THOSE
THINGS?
>> I DO, MORE YA.
IT'S -- MARIA.
IT'S A HUGE FIRST STEP, AND THE
PRESIDENT MADE CLEAR WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SUCH MASSIVE DEALS
HERE WITH CHINA THAT IT HAS TO
COME IN DIFFERENT PHASES.
SO PHASE ONE DOES TACKLE THE
FACT THAT $40-50 BILLION MORE
FOR OUR FARMERS, THE PRESIDENT
SAYS HE HOPES THAT THE FARMER
HAS ENOUGH TRACTORS TO SUSTAIN
THAT.
IT ALSO, IT ALSO TACKLES
STRUCTURAL AGRICULTURE ISSUES
WHICH ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT.
IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT
NECESSARILY IN THE PUBLIC EVERY
DAY.
ALSO THEY STARTED WITH THE
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER DISCUSSION
AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
THOSE WILL COME MORE IN PHASE
TWO, AND THE PRESIDENT LOOKS
FORWARD TO SEEING PRESIDENT XI
IN CHIEF HAY SOON, AND -- CHILE
SOON.
THEY PULLED OUT LAST MINUTE FROM
THE DEAL IN APRIL, LAST SPRING,
WE'VE BEEN NEGOTIATING, AND I
THINK AMBASSADOR LIGHTHIZER AND
SECRETARY MNUCHIN HAVE EXPRESSED
GREAT OPTIMISM ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED, AND THE MARKETS LIKED
IT AS WELL.
THIS IS ALSO WHY THEY WANT TO
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT, BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T ARGUE WITH THE FACT
THAT WE FINALLY HAVE A PRESIDENT
WHO BROUGHT CHINA TO TABLE IN
THE FIRST PLACE.
