Volker saying i spoke to the president and ive spoke to the ukrainians, neither of which believe aid was conditioned, neither of which believed that the president was requiring it. And ambassador sondland, which said no one on the planet told him that that was the case. Thats the sole evidence. Ambassador sondland believed a meeting was conditioned upon investigations, ambassador volker who i think is a man of very significant integrity said that was not the case. Even if ambassador sondland is correct, that somebody and dr. Hill, you testified, and again its hearsay, you dont know, that supposedly mulvaney told him that, because he didnt testify to that, but lets say somebody besides the president told him that, you guys want to be the laughing stock of history to impeach a president of the United States because he didnt take a meeting. Oh, please, dear god. Please undertake that. Now, mr. Holmes, i got to tell you. Is there a question for dr. Hill . Mr. Holmes, in your testimony, you

Thank you, dr. Hill, mr. Holmes for your years of service to this country. And i appreciate yall being here today. Throughout this process i have said that i want to learn the facts so we can get to the truth. So why are we here . Because of two things that occurred during the president s july 25th phone call with ukrainian president zelensky. The use of the phrase, do us a favor, though, in reference to the 2016 president ial election and the mention of the word biden. I believe both statements were inappropriate, misguided Foreign Policy. And its certainly not how the executive current or in the future should handle such a call. Over the course of the hearings, the American People have learned about a series of events that in my view have undermined our National Security and undercut ukraine, a key partner on the front lines against russian aggression. We have heard of u. S. Officials carrying uncoordinated confusing and conflicting messages creating doubt and uncertainty in kyiv at

Adam schiff, tries to slam devin nunes without any evidence saying that nunes is quote, complicit in the ukraine issue but his big mistake. These are phone l
Positive news on trade. Economic adviser larry kudlow telling reporters a phase one deal is in the final stages and commerce secretary wilbur ross telling Marie Bartiromo whatever happens the u. S. Comes out on top. Listen. We are really in a winwin position. It will either continue or we will have an acceptable deal with china so the important thing is to make sure the deal is what we think it is, make sure it is consistent with the promises that they have made to us. David could the sunny disposition of wall street eventually be overshadowed by the clouds of impeachment inside the beltway . David i do not think so. Heres why. Half the country is behind trump and they are not paying any attention. The other half of the country that does not like trump, 89. 9 of them are not paying attention so you have maybe 10 people who were watching, mostly inside the beltway. I hate to say it more people were tuned into the world series that are probably watching the impeachment hearings. Even tho
