that you are leaning on process. that you see the things congressman deming s just talked about in terms of the phone call and the things that simply have raised a lot of questions, and that you continually go back to the fact that the whole process is unfair, and therefore you can t possibly impeach the president. what do you say to that? well, that s incorrect, martha. we are leaning on substance and focusing on the facts. as we saw earlier this week, the democrats care costar witnesses had no direct knowledge, giving instances of hearsay. sometimes third, fourth, and fifth hand hearsay. i think this is a very serious process, and i think the american public was watching, riveted, waiting for a silver bullet, and they have that. i do not believe the president had committed impeachable offensoffenses, and the democrae not shown that the president committed impeachable offenses. we are leaning on substance on the facts. martha: the other day, you are praised by some for your perfor
getting to the second phase. a long way to go. rob: really expected to go after yavanovitch. thank you so much. jillian: turning heads and wednesday s hearing for demanding fairness from adam schiff. rob: republicans are heading into today s testimony with a different game plan and then democrats. we are focused on the facts. we saw earlier this week the democrats two star witnesses had no direct knowledge. they were giving instances of hearsay, third, fourth and fifth hand hearsay. this is a serious process and the american public was watching riveted, waiting for a silver bullet and they didn t have that. i do not believe the president committed impeachable offenses and the democrats have not shown the president committed impeachable offenses. we are leading on substance and facts.
laura: it riveted? you said the word riveted. i heard televisions being turned off all day long today. i made a joke that this is the best day that dr. phil had had in like 15 years because it was a dud. the democrats are grasping ed henry tonight saying, the republican aides talking to democrats in the hallway and, they are not thrilled with how this is going so far. i think you have serious men who take their job seriously and were talking about things in serious terms. it was very compelling. laura: at your reaction to that? it was a total snooze-fest but in my own show, i didn t even need an ambien. just turn that disaster on. so now we have a quid pro quo. we had a deal initially for security assistance that actually arrived.
isn t that a little concerning? i mean, if it s this tight, and even jonathan carl tonight or today on abc was saying this is a this is not a bipartisan movement to impeach this president. it s run by one party, and that s where the damaging prospects could be. well, i think we ve got miles to go before we get to doug jones or any other incumbent democrat takes a vote that might lead to them losing their election, but i think they need to put their oath to the constitution ahead of any electoral concerns and do what s right by this country, and if the evidence shows that the president should be impeached and removed then that s what all members of congress, democrat and republican, should absolutely do. as for them not being in iowa, that might be one of the consequences of it but the country is going to be riveted to this riveted? laura: did you watch the same thing?
hold on a moment. you said the word riveted. ok? i heard televisions being turned off all day long today, ok? i made a joke earlier that it was the best day that dr. phil has had in like 15 years because it was a dud, ok? the democrats are going to ed henry the republican aides talking to democrats in the hallway and said they re not thrilled with the way this is going so far. not the star witnesses that we thought. dan. i think you have serious men who take their job seriously and we re talking about things in serious terms and that might force be very compelling if you re following the evidence. laura: dan, your reaction to that. laura, it was a total snooze fest. i didn t need an ambien. turn that disaster on. now we have a quid pro quo like we had a deal initially for security assistance that actually arrived, then the deal changed. it was a deal for a white house
