Yes. Now, ambassador taylor also testified that and mr. Morrison both of them testified that you told them that President Trump said there was no quid pro quo which you also included in the text message that you referred. But then you went on and they had slight variations as to what you told them, but then you said that to ambassador taylor that president zelenskiy himself not the Prosecutor General needed to clear things up in public or there would be a stalemate. And mr. Morrison recounted something similar. You dont have any reason to doubt that both of their very similar recollections of the conversations they had with you, do you, ambassador sondland . Let me break that down, mr. Goldman. The text as i said about the no quid pro quo was my effort to respond to ambassador taylors
concerns to go to President Trump apparently ambassador taylor had access to Secretary Pompeo. He did not have access to President Trump so i made the phone call. I said what do you want . President trump
Card witness. Has already revised his initial testimony in the president s dealings with ukraine. Sondland has arrived and will be before the committee in a moment. Late yesterday we had a hearing that lasted deep into the night. Well see how far we go today. Welcome back to continuing coverage on the fox news channel. Im bill hemmer. Good morning, bill. Im sandra smith. Lawmakers are expected to double down on a phone call with the president. Team fox coverage back with us now. Chris wallace, bret baier, Martha Maccallum and bret baier. Well be with you guys throughout the entire day. Ken, we have an oping statement from Gordon Sondland. There are a lot of skipped areas in 23 pages. Opening statement will last at
least 10 minutes. From what youve been able to glean off of this, in a quick speed read what do you see as critical for sondland . Right. It looks as if there may be a bombshell or two in this. Thats what were looking for. Lets see what he says. He could revise this up to the
Gaetz, paul manafort. The circle goes on. He is surrounded by criminals. Then we hear, well, it cant be Obstruction Of Congress, you could have all just went to court. Well, we are in december. We have an ongoing crime. We have a crime in progress. That is what the 911 call would say from a police officer. We have a crime in progress. And they are saying with a crime in progress, why didnt you just schedule an appointment to call the police . We have an emergency to our National Election going on right now. Our oath to the constitution requires us to take this drastic, solemn, and regrettable step. But it is necessary because if we dont protect americas precious right to vote, it is clear that the other side wont. And so i talked about the courage of yesterday. Today i am reminded of judas. Because judas for 30 pieces of
silver betrayed jesus. For 30 positive tweets for easy reelection, the other side is willing to betray the American People, their precious right to vote and the future
And conservatives dont want to be around each other and so they have to spread out, you may not see this from like the ivory towers of your law school, but it makes the actual people in this country when the president calls you dont get to interrupt me on this time. Let me also suggest that when you invoke the president s sons name here. When you try to make a little joke out of referencing trump, that does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean. It makes you look like youre attacking someones family. The minor child of the president of the United States. So lets see if we can get into the facts, to all of the witnesses. If you have personal knowledge of a single Material Fact in the schiff report, please raise your hand. And let the record reflect no personal knowledge of a single fact. And you know what . That continues on the tradition that we saw from adam schiff where ambassador taylor could not identify an Impeachable Offense. Mr. Kent never met with the
