Kurds. The witnesses all serve in the Trump Administration. For the president , though, its a conspiracy hatched by democrats. The more america achieves, the more hateful and enraged these crazy democrats become. Crazy. That crazy nancy, she is crazy. Shes nuts. These people are crazy. Theyve gone nuts. Democrats are now the party of crazy politicians. We begin the hour with the fallout from the White House Briefing room. The president said to be miffed at his acting chief of staff. Baffled is the word by the cabinet. He told reporters point blank there was a quid pro quo. The president froze security aid into ukraine partly to pressure them into investigating democrats. Listen. Did he also mention to me in the past that the corruption related to the dnc server . Absolutely. No question about that. Thats it, thats why we held up the money. So should the demand for an investigation into the democrats was part of the reason he ordered to withhold funding to ukraine . The look back to wha
Irans president , Hassan Rouhani met with soleimanis family. The generals daughter asking, quoting now, who will take revenge, unquote, for her fathers death. Rouhani replied, everyone. Irans ambassador to the United Nations telling cnns erin burnett that the strike on soleimani was an act of war. They started a military war by assassinating by an act of terror against one of our top generals. So what else can we expect iran to do . We cannot just remain silent. We have to act and we will act. Meanwhile the u. S. Is sending about 2,800 troops into the middle east and President Trump and his administration are defending the decision to kill soleimani telling a crowd in miami last night the general was preparing an imminent attack on americans. He was plotting attacks against americans, but now we have ensured that his atrocities have been stopped for good. They are stopped for good. I dont know if you know what was happening, but he was planning a very major attack and we got him. We ha
When was it released. Todays testimony follows an explosive day in the impeachment inquiry yesterday, though. For the very first time a witness says he personally heard President Trump demand ukraine investigate the bidens. And even more here, this state Department Official says that he was told that the president didnt really care about ukraine, only, quote, the big stuff that involved the president. And democrats are accusing President Trump of witness intimidation after he insulted the former ambassador to ukraine on twitter. He tweeted as she was testifying. President trump slammed her and her Job Performance and then said he had a right to defend himself. Were covering this from all angles for you.

Reconsider is laid upon the table. That vote falling almost exclusively along party lines. Again, not a vote to impeach the president but a vote to set the ground rules around the now continuing impeachment proceedings. President trump reacting in realtime on twitter, of course, calling it, quote, the greatest witch hunt in american history. The speaker, you saw her with the gavel there. Moments before the voting began, she was on the floor telling republicans theyre just frightened. Today the house takes the next step forward as we establish the procedures for open hearings conducted by the House Intelligence Committee so that the public can see the facts for themselves. I dont know why the republicans are afraid of the truth. Every member should support allowing the American People to hear the facts for themselves.
