fake news. yeah. so when he arrived at this moment, whatever the moment was going to be and the moment appears to be ukraine, he can say, don t believe what you re reading in the news. remember all those times i told you it was fake news? here they go again. don t believe when you re hearing from diplomats. that s the deep state working against me. they re trying to overturn, he says, the results of your election when you put me in the white house. we ve arrived at the moment he s been preparing for. yeah. and i don t know, i get what donny s saying. i don t know that i agree with him. i think if you look at the polls, you talk to voters, i think most trump voters say he is deliveringtor me. he did what they wanted on judges. they got the regulatory cuts, the tax cut. that s a was. it was. but they would say he said he was going to do these things, he did these things. i don t like any of you, i don t like him but i like him more than that clown on vandehei on
president trump and the president of ukraine. he knew about this insinuation, president trump asking for information on joe biden. and i think it s very important to note what the president did here. he s putting this all under the guise of fighting corruption. until that call with the president of ukraine, he never mentioned joe biden. but giuliani, the ambassador to the eu gordon sondland, all of them are putting this under the guise of fighting corruption. and then you have this weak ukraine government that needs the aid, wants a good relationship with the new president and you have the envoy from the state department. these people trying to, you know, placate president trump, advise the ukrainians and also at the same time try to get the aid through, get that visit through while at the same time trying to advise the ukrainians not to get involved in u.s. politics. so you have this bunch of
they should investigate the bidens. likewise, china should start an investigation into the bidens. because what happened in china is just about as bad as what happened with with ukraine. shortly after the president made those comments, weintraub retweeted her statement from june along with an image of a microphone and the caption, is this thing on? fec chairwoman ellen weintraub joins us now. appreciate you being here today. i know you didn t want to get into the politics of all of this, so let me ask you about the law. could you restate what the fe krerks says abo c says about seeking the assistance of a foreign nation in a political campaign? the law is clear it is absolutely illegal for anyone to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with any election in the united states. so, ellen, then what is the thing of value?
trying to suggest that democrats meddled to their own detriment, which is really kind of through ukraine, which everyone says is fantasy. this literally that. and the other thing they want is an investigation of joe and hunter biden. it could not be more clear in everything. and there is so this is just sort of failigree around the central conversation that we have the transcript of or the rough transcript of between president trump and zan lens el that s the context that surrounds the impeachable act that we saw right there. it s very, very clear. and that s, i think, what everybody or what certainly the house ought to be saying, this is clear. so david french, let s put all these pieces together. if you take the white house
the white house is preparing to send a letter to house speaker nancy pelosi saying they re not going to turn over any documents until they hold a vote to officially open an impeachment inquiry. sources here have been saying, look, the bottom line is she held a press conference so we don t have to comply with these document requests. so defiance on the one hand. on the other hand, willie, how are they feeling today? i think there s a divide within trump world about how to deal with this growing controversy that is engulfing the trump presidency. on the one hand you have aides and allies some of them saying we need a strategy here. we need clear messaging. we need to be able to respond to these mountains of headlines that are coming in by the hour, really, in realtime. and then you have the other side of trump world which is basically trying to make the case nothing to see here, business as usual. and i think that s what you saw from president trump this week. he clearly wants to be his
