The president just made a lastminute appearance, actually, in the audience of a major u. N. Climate summit. But we begin this hour over the ugly fight of the whistleblower complaint that followed the president to new york. I had a phone call with the president of ukraine. The one who has the problem is biden. You look at what biden did, biden did what they would like to have me do, except one problem. I didnt do it. What biden did is a disgrace. What his son did is a disgrace. So the president is continuing to say the quiet part out loud, that yes, he did talk about investigating the bidens with ukraines leader. A growing number of democrats hear the admission, one that adds another reason to impeach. More on that dynamic in a few minutes. The president first is going to meet
But the hostility, the hostility to the facts, the not owning the truth the first time, the suggest about the president in a way that didnt make sense, now theyre dealing with the outcome from that. Where does it go . I think its way more uncertain than were hearing from some democrats tonight. Yeah. But its also obvious when you look at every single response.

I feel that what the president they knew that what the president did or allegedly did was so egregious that they have to make a

President ial scandals. This a good day to have a former highlevel National Security official to give you some perspective. President trump has only been in office, like, 2 1 2 years. Hes now looking for his fourth National Security adviser who i think if he finds that person will actually be the fifth person to whom he has offered the job. But today was, like, a banner day for all of them all at once. Start with the first one. President trumps first National Security adviser mike flynn, he spent today in federal court where he learned of his new probable sentencing date. The date on which he will find out if hes going to jail after he pled guilty to a felony for lying to federal investigators about his secret contacts with the russian government.
