did like overall trump s hard line policy on isolationism. but he himself referred to this as a drug deal. i think as a factual matter, as a legal matter, the case is really overwhelming at this point. i think any in-line prosecutor could get an indictment on a bribery charge. the question is, when they take this to the public process, can they persuade that middle third? that s always the question with impeachment. julian, ross, sam, thank you so much to all of you for the discussion. fox news anchor and some republicans are questioning the patriotism of the army lieutenant colonel testifying in the impeachment inquiry today. one calling the purple heart recipient s appointment to the national security council by the trump white house a double agent. plus, since facebook will allow false political ads, one man says he will run for office for the sole purpose of spreading lies to prove the facebook policy is wrong. he s going to join me live.
awarded the purple heart. i m of irish descent. i still love the irish. and he has an affinity probably for his homeland. that is some anti-immigrant bigotry and it s an odd questioning of patriotism coming from sean duffy, the guy who spent part of his 20s in the real world and the real world challenge where vindman spent his years in iraq where he was awarded a purple heart after being injured by a roadside bomb. republican congresswoman liz cheney, who is often at odds with president trump s anti-interventionist policies, defended vindman today. their patriotism, their love of country. we re talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation who have put their lives on the line, and it s shameful to question their patriotism, their love of this nation, and we should not be involved in this process.
social media, against mark zuckerberg and talking about how pacific gas and electric company is one of the biggest be benefactors of our current governor is a pretty good way to run in 2022. we can run more false ads. we have more politicians, including myself, ready to run more ads after the election. imagine what it looks like if we run an ad in kentucky to and these are real facebook criteria we can run an ad saying mitch mcconnell is secretly supportive of impeachment and is just waiting to impeach president trump because he wants power for himself or doesn t like trump, and we run those to the categories of high school education or less are you going to do that? i m not going to tip my hand. to do that.s like you re going - we ll see. we will see.
now run for office purposely spreading lies to force the tech giant to reverse course. he will join us live. we begin with what could very well be the most damning testimony yet in the impeachment inquiry against president trump. right now house investigators are hearing from a current white house official, army lieutenant colonel alex vindman. vindman was on the july 25th call between president trump and president zelensky, and according to a statement received by cnn, he was so alarmed by what he heard that he alerted his superiors twice. he wrote, i was concerned by the call. i did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a u.s. citizen, and i was warned about the implications for the u.s. government s support of ukraine. i realized that if ukraine pursued an investigation into the bidens and burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would
president trump trusted. according to testimony, vindman said president trump was trying to undermine it. vindman s role was not just to listen to phone calls. vindman s role was to talk about the full range of instruments that could be used to achieve u.s. national security objectives vis-a-vis ukraine, and, brianna, to talk with ukraine officials. he s laid out potential documents. he talked about engagements with the ukranians. he talked about a memorandum for the record that he filed because of his concerns. i think investigators will want to follow up on that, again keeping in mind that this is someone who is still in the white house. he is still privy to whatever the white house is doing to try to potentially stop this investigation. rob, how important is this testimony today? i think one of the most important things, in addition to what sam just outlined, he
