Who advised how bloomberg bid could disrupt the democratic field, he called it and said it on the program months ago, whether we should expect any other names with mark pen, in this morning. Congressman matt gaetz, here, sunday morning futures. Maria welcome back, public hearings kicking off this week in impeachment inquiry against President Trump, meanwhile House Republicans have submitted a list of 8 witnesses they would like to hear from, among them hunter biden as well as the whistleblower who sparked the whole thing, the ranking republican on the House Intelligence Committee devin nunes arguing in a letter to chairman adam schiff, President Trump should be afforded an opportunity to confront his accusers writes devin nunes but schiff already ruled out an opinion by the whistleblower also saying this, the inquiry is not and would not serve as a vehicle to undertake the same sham investigations into the biden or 2016 that the president pressed ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit, the president meanwhile insisting hes already cleared by the white houses rough law in july call with ukrainians president. Read the transcript, its all about the transcript, theyre having people i never even heard some of the people, i dont know who they are and by the way, its all thirdhand knowledge, but regardless of what anyone says, read the transcripts. Maria we will hear from House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy coming in short time from now, how republicans are preparing for what appears to be inevitable impeachment trial coming up, republican senator Lindsey Graham, thanks so much. Thank you. Maria youve said on the program not too long ago that hunter biden needs to answer questions, what is your reaction to this list that your colleagues in the house have prepared as far as those they would like to hear from . They could care less about getting to the truth, what really did happen, why was the prosecutor fired, the john solomon foyer request is stunning, you can see efforts in the state department where they were worried about the conflict of interest between hunter biden and the company being investigated and when the president of the president , barmisa, i think is the company, when house was raided the bidens kicked in. We will look at that i consider any impeachment in the house that doesnt allow us to whistleblower to know who it is to be invalid. Without whistleblower complaint we wouldnt be talking about any of this and hunter biden to be called to adequately defend the president and if you dont do the two things its a complete joke. Maria you mentioned the john solomon reporting, testimony bombshell, Obama Administration tried to partner with Hunter Bidens ukrainian gas firm but was blocked over corruption charges and concerns. Basically he write that is the state departments main foreign aid agency, u. S. Aid plan to cosponsor an Energy Project with barisma holding is that what youre referring to . I think the big deal that hunt r biden serving on a board of a gas company thats being investigateled be the Ukrainian Government in february they raid the house of the guy who owns the gas company and you see a lot of interaction with joe biden calling president of ukraine and john kerry and all of a sudden the case goes away. Its important that we find out what really did happen and what was the conflict of interest hunter biden had, but back to the whistleblower, its impossible to bring this case forward in my view fairly without us knowing who the whistleblower is and having a chance to cross examine them about any advice they may have, if they dont call the whistleblower in the house, this thing is dead on arrival on the senate. Maria speaking of the whistleblower, fox news is not naming the whistleblower but we are waiting for confirmation, media has as person who worked for joe biden, worked for john brennan at the cia, cia operative, perhaps one of the people who dropped the bread crumbs back in 2016 that President Trump colluded with russia which was based on the dossier which Hillary Clinton paid for. Well, the whistleblower comes from brennan world would be stunning, i think, if the whistleblower had connection to democratic candidate that would be stunning, the only way you can fairly deal with this issue for us to find out who the whistleblower, no american can be accused of a crime based on an anonymous allegation, the whistleblower is foundational to what they are doing to the house and the fact that they dont want to call him tells you everything that you need to know how about valid the effort is to impeachment the president , it is impossible to conduct impeachment inquiry when the chief complaining witness is unknown to the president not subject to crossexamination. Maria well, this is a really important point because for a long time adam schiff said he we wanted to speak to the whistleblower and then we found out that his staff actually did meet with whistleblower and now he doesnt want to speak about whistleblower in hearings any longer. When you find out who is whistleblower is you will find out its somebody from the deep state and had interactions with the schiff and this thing will stink to high heaven and the only reason we dont know who the whistleblower is it hurts their cause, they are not trying to find the truth here, if you really we wanted to know the truth about why joe biden said what he did about the prosecutor, if you dont fire this guy, we will cut off the money, well, lets find out, was hunter biden in the cross hairs of the prosecutor, this is not about schiff finding the truth, this is about schiff trying to destroy the Trump Presidency, mueller looked at trump and didnt find anything, now we have it in the hands of schiff and nadler, if you think schiff is looking for the truth, you shouldnt be allowed to drive in america because thats a ridiculous concept. Maria i want to make sure audience understands the way youre connecting the dots right here, for almost 3 years the country was up in arms over potential of donald trump colluding with the russians, flower wait tong john durham criminal investigation to get to details of exactly what transpired in 2016 but many players when we talk about ukraine are the same players that dropped bread crumbs and try today spread narrative that was not true and having hysteria for 2 and a half years of the president s administration, one to have people is nelly ohr, why do you think shes on the list . They were trying to find the connection between the whistleblower complaint and what happened in 2016, here is what they dont want you to know, they dont want you to know that the whistleblower was on the brennan team, if he was, they dont want to know if hes tied to the people who falsely got on a warrant against carter page 4 times, they dont want you to know that hes tied to the group that set up counterintelligence investigation of the Trump Campaign in 2016, it would blow them out of the water, in fact, it was connected to the democratic candidate and came from the cia world thats been trying to destroy the Trump Presidency before he got elected, thats why they dont want you to know who the person is. Maria which is why you have a resolution with 50 senators having signed it about the process that has taken place, tell us about the resolution and where is that going . Well, we looked at every other impeachment, the nixon impeachment, the clinton impeachment and we found out that the president s counsel was allow today cross examine witnesses, making accusations against the president , thats not allowed here, the president counsel cannot participate in Intel Committee inquiries, its been done behind closed doors, everything afforded nixon and clinton has been denied trump. This is the First Time Ever that impeachment has been driven by a member of Congress Rather than outside counsel, there was outside counsel in nixon, there was outside counsel in clinton and mueller was an outside counsel, the first time in history where weve had partisan politician push impeachment and the process in the house is way different than what happened in the past and denying the republicans the ability to trace the hunter biden conflict of interest story line and deny them the ability to expose the whistleblower, again, basically denying the president the ability to denned themselves and what are they hiding. Maria yeah, here once again we have public hearings supposed to be happening next week but we still have an unfair process. Senator, i want to take a quick break, when we come back i want to zero in on you and why you havent called anybody to testify yet, you have subpoena power, everybody wants to know will you call hunter biden, will you call nelly ohr, much more, leader mccarthy is here talking about former clinton advisers, plus, we will also talk with Clinton Campaign adviser mike penn, he was with bill and Hillary Clinton for a time and hes now talking about the left, gop congressman matt gaetz is also here, stay with us, we are also here, stay with us, we are looking ahead on sunday morni also here, stay with us, we are looking ahead on sunday morni do you recall, not long ago we would walk on the sidewalk all around the wind blows we would only hold on to let go blow a kiss into the sun we need someone to lean on blow a kiss into the sun we needed somebody to lean on all we need is someone to lean on so why isnt it all about you when it comes to your money . So. Whats on your mind . We are a 97yearold firm built for right now. Edward jones. Its time for investing to feel individual. But when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. Maria welcome back, im here with chairman Lindsey Graham, mr. Chairman, theres a list that republicans want to come out and testify, david archer, fellly ohr, former contractor for fusion gps, are you planning on calling anyone to testify in front of your committee . First horowitz, the investigated the investigation Trump Campaign, this is all about state department, the Foreign Relations committee and the senate has jurisdiction over this but let me just say this, if the House Democrats refuse going down the road and looking into whether or not the prosecutor was fired is because hes getting too close to hunter biden and joe biden and his team stepped in, thats a legitimate inquiry and im hoping that chairman, if the house refuses to call hunter biden and other people related in the house we would call them in the senate because that may be the only place that you hear the other side of the story. Maria in other words f House Democrats fail to do their job, you are going to do it . You will call these people down to judiciary . Yeah, well, no, im in Foreign Relations, i dont have jurisdiction over state department, im not a committee that i can call anybody about anything, we actually have committees in the senate for a reason, subject matter, but here is what i do believe, its impossible for the president to adequately defend himself unless we know more about why hunter biden was why prosecutor was fired, the president asked the ukrainian president to look in corruption, corruption is ramp in the ukraine, the only person biden wanted fired was prosecutor of the company that son was on the board. Quid pro quo allegation against the president , and to me is there a quid pro quo in place where joe biden said if you dont fire the prosecutor, you dont get any money, motives to protect his son and somebody needs to look at that, if adam schiff does not allow republicans to look at that Senate Republicans need to make sure its looked at. Maria i understand, there are similarities back of 2016, there are dots to be connected to the way that the president and his entire team was entrapped, are you going to call anybody, we still have the 2016 issues which your colleagues on the left refuse to look at. Are you going to look into this, are you going to call anybody regarding the 2016 origins of the russia probe into your committee to testify . Yes, maam. The person who has been assigned to look into whether or not the fisa warrant was properly obtained, whether or not the fisa court was basically defrauded is mr. Horowitz, the Inspector General of the department of justice, hes been looking at this for over a year, hes also looking at whether or not the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump Campaign was legitimate, hes looking at it internally, john durham is looking at the possibility of criminality when it comes to obtaining the warrant, criminality when it comes to counterintelligence investigation. My goal is to provide oversight, i promise that mr. Horowitz will come before the Judiciary Committee when his report is complete and testify in public under oath as to what happened, then i will Start Connecting the dots. If the whistle plower is, in fact, part of the team that tried to get a warrant illegally in 2016, i think that would be a stunning revelation and may explain their motives in terms of why theyve filed the complaint to begin with. Maria very important commentary that youre making right now, our viewers are frustrated with ig report, senator, where is it, when is it coming out, you know its ag barr, do you think he will get to the bottom of who framed donald trump . Well, i think i think horowitz will give us a stunning report about the system being off the rails, im not going prejudge it. I talked to barr wednesday, the declassification issue has been resolved, most of it will be declassified. I want the public to look at what happened and not trust my rendition of what happened, lets declassify all of the applications for the warrants, lets put it all out there to see, all the 3o2s so you can make your own decision if Christopher Steele had a bias against trump, if he was unreliable person when it comes to obtain a warrant against the Trump Campaign. Im going to do this right. Horowitz is somebody outside of politics, hes going to testify first, hes going to have the time and the space to make the report the way he feels it needs to be made and he will come before the American People and tell the story the way he needs to tell it, once he tells that story, then i will follow up and Start Connecting the dots to the whistleblower if theres any dots to be connected. Maria you know, the committee, does your committee require the democrats to agree to any subpoena because this whole process of having to check with adam schiff is another thing that my viewers are outraged about, tell me about that, do you need a requirement from adam schiff or the democrats to to actually get a subpoena and and bring somebody down . The senate is collaborative process but i think i could do it by majority vote if i had to, but rather than me going out subpoenaing people based on news reports, i will do it the oldfashion way, i will allow the guy that was tasked on whether or not there was corruption and the Intelligence Community abused the Trump Campaign through counterintelligence investigation, im going to hear first, im going to build off of horowitz investigation rather than just running wild myself. That way i think it has legitimatey, i think most americans dont trust schiff, theres a partisan atmosphere about this investigation, i think the house is going to flip to the Republican Party because most people rather solve problems than have yet another investigation of donald trump being driven by adam schiff. Maria yeah. So what i will do it in the senately do it the right way. Maria stay with us, senator, i want to ask you about report that is senators will be tuning that is senators will be tuning out next works stay with look.

Chairman, a lot of the colleagues have called the process a sham, you have a resolution calling a sham going into hearings but now there are report that is you will not look at it, you will tune out this upcoming week, a number of your colleagues said they wont watch the highlyanticipated public hearing, you will not look at the transcripts, is that the answer . Yeah, i think the whole thing is a joke, i dont want to legitimize what i think is a joke, if you really wanted to find out whether or not the prosecutor was fired because he was getting too close to hunter biden, you would call hunter biden, theres plenty of evidence in the state department files that there was a conflict with hunter biden and the company being investigated by the ukrainian prosecutor, so youve got the special envoy to the ukraine saying there was no quid pro quo. You have selective leaking of information. To the House Republicans, youve done a good job of trying to correct the record. I think the whole thing is being driven by partisan adam schiff, weve never done impeachment this way, i do think that the whole think is illegitimate and if you do not inquire what hunter biden role had in getting prosecutor fired, youre really not looking at all things ukraine. Maria do you think the voters figured this out . Do i. Maria do voters get this . To 31 House Democrats who are serving in districts that donald trump holds, youre going to lose your job if you continue to play this game, no president in the history of the country has been treated this way, weve never had an impeachment process set up before where the intel does it and not judiciary, the president counsel is shut out, you to get the blessing of schiff before you call witnesses, if the house is shut out, but the reason this is going to blow up in their face is neverending effort to destroy donald trump, horowitz will be coming out soon and if you dont find out who the whistleblower is the whole thing is illegitimate because without the whistleblower, knowing who they are you really cant evaluate the credibility. Maria i want to pick it up right where you left off, good to see you, thank you very much for joining us, lets continue the conversation about the Intel Committee jesus judiciary Judiciary Committee, the first open hearings set for this wednesday, House Republicans submitted a list of 8 witness that is they would like to hear from, hunter biden, the whistleblower who sparked the entire inquiry, joining me Kevin Mccarthy. Thank you for having me , if i can say one thing to all the veterans out there thank you for your service, this weekend and every day. Maria absolutely. Everybody should thank a veteran today as veterans day tomorrow. Congressman, i want to ask you about the list first, how did the list come out, i also want to ask you why youre making the changes in the Intel Committee putting jim jordan where you are, changing the questioners around, the list of hunter biden, alexandria, tim marson, nelly ohr, the anonymous whistleblower whose secondhand initiated the impeachment inquiry, his or her secondhand complaint. Tell us how you came up with the list. Very clear, maria, we sad with devin, we sat with oversight and Foreign Affairs and we looked at it, we looked at all what has transpired. Remember that adam schiff started this all by wanting the whistleblower to testify and now adam schiff gets to died who comes forward and now fighting the whistleblower from coming forward, why is he doing that, is it because he found out that the staff met with him and the whistleblowers attorney tweeted that the coup had started, that impeachment will follow ultimately that he predicted attorney, that cnn will play a key role, maria, it is clear now more than ever this is a calculating coup and it is being orchestrated by adam schiff, we are watching him orchestrate a takedown of a president after we just celebrated 30 years of taking down the berlin wall. Maria unbelievable and, you know, congressman, i think one of the reasons that youre seeing them want to go really fast on this is because they want to try to get this done before the americans go to the polls and actually make their choice for the president in 2020. So tell me about the timing here and what youre expecting in terms of next week, this upcoming weeks hearings and when this will actually go for a vote to impeach the president , how does that play out . Maria, youre 100 correct, we are less than a year away from electing, reelecting our president and all of the house, why wont they trust the American Public but the other reason why they want to go fast, because what do we find out, remember adam schiff met with the whistleblower, one of the key is former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine marie, what did we find out, she lied in her own deposition, with her own personal email account contact staffer concerning quite delicate and timesensitive matter and this was 2 days after the whistleblowers complaint and kickstarted the whole inquiry, this has been orchestrated and if it goes out longer, we will find the lives, the lies and how they calculated the coup and remember this, when adam schiff said he wanted the whistleblower to testify and now he does not, hes fighting us on it because everything that we found out is his association, in a federal criminal trial if your case relies on an informant, you must produce the informant at trial, they must face their accuser, but now hes trying to protect that individual because of what we are finding out of their own background and his association with him and they changed this all from the Intel Committee to now to impeachment committee, so one thing that i did, i thank congressman Rick Crawford because he cares about intel and where america is standing around the world, but because it changed, he will take a leave of absence, i have now moved congressman jim jordan who is our Ranking Member in oversight who has been in the depositions and been a part of it to add him to this Committee Maria yeah. Next week we will start this. Maria i want to ask you about this. Hold on, congressman, i want to ask you about jim jordan being among questioners, stay with us, we will slip i ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.

Ends monday. Maria welcome back, im back with House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy, congressman, we were talking about the process a moment ago, it used to be when you had hearings and testimonies that one member could yield his time to another, right, adam schiff has decided no yielding any time and thats why you made changes and you put jim jordan on the Intel Committee, tell us why . Well, first they made the Intel Committee the impeachment committee. They control it even more making adam schiff the fact witness, the prosecutor, the judge and the jury. He now controls who can ask questions and who could have time, congressman devin nunes has done an amazing job, John Ratcliffe, jim jordan has been in all depositions and been part of it, we we wanted to add him for the short time period when Intel Committee becomes impeachment committee, we will add mr. Crawford back on after this is over. Maria John Ratcliffe is a former federal prosecutor so he will be will people be able to yield time to him or not until an hour in or something . Well, this is whats so unusual, maria, adam schiff now is dictating that only the chair and the ranker and staff, so hes saying, now staff is more important than member of congress in the first 45 minutes, hes trying to control all of this. It goes back to this is so calculated, so controlling by one person, adam schiff, who is the individual who has consistently lied to america and created greater control over the whole calculation and whats interesting is the cards of this house are beginning to fall and we are finding more association with adam and his staff, with the whistleblower, communicating with staffers and key witnesses, anything of house of cards maria theres a ton of stuff not getting done, youre a couple of days away from funding the government, is the Defense Industry the the Defense Department rather going to just go live from, you know, continuing resolution to recontinuing resolution, where are you on the budget issues and then theres usmca hanging in the balance, although nancy pelosi hes on a path to yes, congressman. This is the saddest part in the week that we will honor veterans but we will be in another place where they are getting continuing resolution where they are not getting the raise that we we wanted to pass to give to them, that we are not giving them the protection of the new weaponry and others to make sure they can carry out their mission and that is all because the only thing that is happening in congress is impeachment. This new democrat majority has issued more subpoenas than they created laws. This new congress has not taken up usmca, the united statesmexico and canada to make us stronger, the speaker of the house, she has said for the last 10 months shes working to getting to yes, she holds all the power to bring it up and we would pass the usmc africa, no usmca and no one is fighting it. We have number one and number 2 trading countries. Maria speaker of the house in name only, a lot of the moderates have not been able to get past go on the democratic platform because the progressives want real left progressives all the way to the left, so you wonder how Michael Bloomberg may do, i remember a couple maybe a year ago, Michael Bloomberg and tom steyer were trying to buy their way into the election, you got slammed, they said you were attack a jewish person, whats your reaction today to Michael Bloomberg wanting in . Its very obvious, 3 things you should take from this, everyone understands the democrats currently running for president cannot beat President Trump and secondly it goes to the point why Michael Bloomberg gave the democrats 110 million to try to win Congress Majority last time, remember, he reregistered as a democrat right before he gave them money because he was hoping that he could buy their favor to win the nomination, now hes getting into the nomination to run for president understanding that none of the others can beat the president , but i dont believe Michael Bloomberg can win the democrat nomination, you have to have more an agenda than trying to outlaw, you have to prove that you can actually govern and hes jealous that he watched President Trump being a successful businessman going from there directly to president and i think he wants to use his billions to try to do that. Maria outlaw, that was too much. Congressman, good to see you this morning, thank you very much for joining us. Congressman Kevin Mccarthy, leader to have gop, more on Michael Bloombergs with democratic strategist mark penn, he called it, plus congressman matt gaetz is here on one of his colleagues making a strategic move, we are looking ahead right here right now do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging .

Maria welcome back, former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg taking big steps on making good on report that is hes about to join the 2020 race, registering as president ial candidate in the alabama president ial primary, joining me right now mark penn, chief strategist on both bill and Hillary Clinton campaign and man who called this months ago on this program, mark, great to see you. Thank you. Maria you came on this show and my show mornings with maria, good call, tell me what you feel about that now . Well, look, i think it was political logic then that unless the field changed biden is a front runner but weak front runner and a lot of the other candidates have too far to the left and Michael Bloomberg saw the president and made pretty intelligent decision, look, for him its now or never in terms of running for president , why not get in and shake up the Democratic Party and thats what hes doing. Maria you make a good point when you compare it to biden and actually Kevin Mccarthy among them, the whole reason that bloomberg is coming in tells you that means biden must be failing, bloomberg said im not entering the race because joe biden is there but if he start to fail or flag, i will come in, is that an admission . I think bloomberg has said directly he thinks the field is weak but do i think that biden will have a test in iowa and new hampshire, if biden doesnt come through that test and at the end of those two they have to drop out, present clear for bloomberg and biden does well, that might block bloomberg effort, a lot of pressure in campaign to deliver in early states. Maria Bernie Sanders has said there should be in billionaires in the united states, he actually said that, we know that, we know that moderates in the past have not gotten past go in the Democratic Party because the progressives have taken over, will bloomberg get a fair shot from tom perez, the head of dnc . Well, i think the big question whether bloomberg will be put in debates or not regardless of polling numbers, he needs 165,000 small donors and while people seem to like billionaires as president s and, in fact, John F Kennedy came from an incredible by rich family as did fdr, means have seen as above corruptions in many ways, on the other hand, the Democratic Party says if you dont have a 165,000 small donors you dont qualify for the debates, thats a problem for Michael Bloomberg. Maria kevin mac for think that Michael Bloomberg helped them win back the house majority, is he buying his way in here . He contributed his way in some sense, but, look thats what his conscious said, hes come out with some very strong positions on gun safety and gun control, he has come out strong positions on Climate Change, look, i think bloomberg very much represents a social progressive but economic moderate or conservative but a lot of the country has been crying out for somebody thats like that. Do you think it will be Climate Change and guns on mores . I think he will combine Climate Change and guns with a set of moderate positions, i think once Elizabeth Warren put out a 52 trilliondollar medicare for all program that became a target for everyone because its laughable that the government could put together that kind of program without increasing taxes on a loft lot of people. Maria what are the chances that President Trump wins reelection, walk us through the chances are today . Right now the country is in the middle of a realignment. The republicans had strongholds in the suburbs and weak in working class, donald trump comes in with combination of suburbs and workingclass workers, he has been losing the suburbs and thats where you see election after election and the midterms, the suburbs went over to the democrats, the democrats are changing the party and so is the republican, is that permanent, will it last, that i couldnt tell you. Maria you think Hillary Clinton may reenter, do you think shes still is thinking about running for president . Theres still a couple of days here, i dont know whether that he will look at the Michael Bloomberg and say, the field is too crowded and i missed my opportunity, or the opposite, the field is weak, i could get 165,000 donors, im tied with biden in early states, still political logic there for her. Maria you have not been afraid to be out front in calling out the wrongdoing in 2016 and the fisa abuse as i have as well, do you think this now criminal investigation from john durham, horowitz report, ig report all of this blouse up in the middle of the election in 2020, what will that do . I think ive been looking forward to ig report, i dont see that theres any foundation for that fisa warrant that real abuses with committed and i hope people are held accountable for the abuses and i think they will based on the hints that people like Lindsey Graham say, where is the report, its been years now.

Well, appears we were successful in communicating the message that was unfair politically motivated process, we just last week polling from ap, abc news reflecting that half of the country or more saw this as politically motivated and unfair to President Trump and so now in the coming weeks we will have open testimony and i think that its important for the American People to know that youve got a group of people whose names you dont know whose faces you havent seen, who are part of the permanent government in washington and whether republicans or democrats are elected, they believe its their way or the highway, President Trump is very different, he pushes back on permanent washington and now you have people in the vowels to have bureaucracy of government who thinks that the president serves at their pleasure instead of them serving at the president s pleasure. Maria how much of this impeachment inquiry is smoking mirrors ahead of the john durham criminal investigation details and the ig report . A couple of weeks ago we had on lona, a woman who met general Michael Flynn as we know ahead of veterans day, Michael Flynn ranked to Lieutenant General over 33 years, he served as President Trumps National Security adviser before resigning in february 17th and and he basically saw his reputation destroyed. Here is what lona did you have a romantic relationship with general flynn . Absolutely not. Maria the media suggest that perhaps you did after meeting him that one time, how many times did you meet general flynn . In my whole life ive only met and spoken to general flynn, 28 of february, 2014. Maria so congressman, they used her to muddy up the reputation of general flynn who had served our country for more than 30 years, can you connect the dots and tell us if this ukraine situation has any relation to what took place in 2016 where they tried to frame donald trump and his campaign . Its not just me saying that, its not just rudy giuliani, a court in ukraine, a court in ukraine held that there was an act of election interference, unlawful in the 2016 election and it is only appropriate for us to get to the bottom of that, the flynn Case Highlights hypocrisy, general flynn was tricked into a misstatement, to jim comeys team, forced into the plea deal when Andrew Mccabe lied repeatedly under oath and escaped consequence, time and again you see the people that are part of permanent government of permanent washington playing by their own rules but when you have disruptive patriots like general flynn, washington crashes down on them and thats what we have to fight back against. Maria powell who joined me a couple of weeks ago, his lawyer wants all of the charges dropped on general flynn, real quick, next week is the public hearings, what should we expect, how is this going to go down, how does this play out . Yeah, you will see a policy disagreement on how to approach the ukraine, sort of refashioned into an impeachment exercise, there are people who believe that the only appropriate action would have been full support of the ukraine with no conditions whatsoever, President Trump had a different view and now they want to impeach him for it, thats crazy. Maria thanks so much, congressman matt lou good evening. We begin with a broad rally in the stock market. A record session on wall street today. The dow, nasdaq and s p all closing at record highs. President trump has delivered be all of his Campaign Promises to restore prosperity to the nation and all americans. An historic perform answer by any measure, but the radical guess continue to overthrow this president and subvert his presidency
