Foreign government participate and undermining a competing candidate for the presidency. If we are to come stay safe with our constitution with our republic, President Trump must be held to account. If Congress Fails impeach here, than the impeachment progress has lost all meeting. I stand with the constitution and the framers who were committed to ensure that no one is above the law. On the basis of the testimony and the evidence before the house. President trump has committed impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors. By corruptly abusing the office of the presidency. Kennedy said the man who is the product of union between bill nye. The republicans had one witness in the he did his best to put the democrats in his place. Watch this. I cant emphasize this enough and ill say it one more time. If you impeach a president , if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. Its your abuse of power. Youre doing precisely what youre criticizing the president for doing. Kennedy i hope youre proud of yourself. And the rest that a bickering, arguing, and grandstanding. Watch. We are all aware that the next election is looming. But we cannot wait for the election to adjust the president price crisis. The integrity of betting election is one of the very things at stake. They want to do it before the end of the year, why because the chairman said that just second ago. Because were scared of the elections next year. Were scared of the election that we will lose again. So we got to do this now. Kennedy will the entire. Of todays academic marathon was for democrats to convince other lawmakers that the president committed impeachable offenses. But did they actually move the needle . Joining me now Virginia Republican congressman and House Judiciary Committee member was present at todays hearing in klein. Welcome to the show sir. Greatly with you candies. Kennedy what was your take away looking at these constitutional experts in the eye. There were a lot of constitutional experts talking about legal theories, but what there were not a lot of warfare witnesses or evidence used to promote their case. Earlier this year Speaker Pelosi said for impeachment to happen it has to be overwhelming, compelling commie and bipartisan. You had none of that today and the democrats havent even announced for the going from here. Their cases so weak it barely has enough to keep rolling along for just one more hearing. Kennedy yes and were getting pretty deep into december and the. That Jonathan Turley, constitutional experts from walk George Washington university who is not approach him guy. He almost veers towards never trump her, but his. Was this is the type of thing you cant rush. And there will be consequences not only in the precedents that you set, but also for democrats political consequences. Does it feel like from your position on the House Judiciary Committee this is being rushed . Well he did correctly state that it is being rushed compared to the nixon or clinton proceedings. But also the fact that there is a little bit of a problem for the democrats were up they push this too fast, and part of their impeachment process argument is obstruction of the objects us by the president that he somehow challenging the subpoenas in the court. Well if you dont with the court work their will, how can that be obstruction . The president wants to wait out the courts to see what they decide. For the democrats to say oh, were not gonna wait on the courts were gonna charge you with obstruction for asking the courts to weigh in. Thats abuse of power on the democrat side, is what professor turley said. Kennedy i understand that and i found it very odd that the Intel Committee report came out the night before these experts testified. And i dont disagree that their experts. And i dont disagree that they know an awful lot about constitutional law, but im wondering where any of your republican colleagues swayed by some of the argument that they made . They are also very knowledgeable and how to send Campaign Contributions to democrats. And that came out through a lot of the testimony and questioning. But what you have is no minds were changed because there is no evidence of a crime committed. There is no fact witness to testify to that crime. And so what you have here is the same thing you had in the Intelligence Committee a bunch of people saying it appears to me that, or i would guess that this happened, but thats not enough. Kennedy and there is a lot of if this happened than that should happen. But i dont know that some of the democrats have proven the if is much as they feel they have. Because there are a lot of feelings here and there a lot of negative feelings towards the president. But what im wondering has our name one from the republican side met with the majority leadership to talk about alternate solutions to impeachment. Have you sat down with nancy pelosi or hoyer or clyburn and talked about other ways to address what is problematic in this ukrainian interaction . Well i think we all agree that russia is not our friend. They tried to interfere in the election in 2016, they. Kennedy i think youre answering a different question. Have anyone talks about different all turn a div to impeachment. Now we dont think theres a reason to. We dont think the president has done anything wrong, but that it rises to the level of impeachment that the democrats can push all they want. Their bases not gonna let them doing thing but impeachment. So were happy to let them try and push down that road, but we think they should abandon the process. Kennedy wolf nancy pelosi really wants bipartisanship, and i believe on some level she has to because shes been through this dance before during the clinton impeachment. So she wants that then, i believe both parties should be working together to address what went wrong so we dont have any more of that going forward. And my caution for democrats is youre making this way too easy. So the next time that you have republicans in power in the house and a democrat president , theres really nothing from stopping them to impeach a democrat president. And i think that is the most dangerous precedent that can be set here. Leftward view. I think youre absently absolute right i think we do need to move forward working together and dont let foreign entities interfere with their elections. But at the same time when the liberals are hellbent on charging toward impeachment, theres nothing you can say or do that can stop at this. It. Kennedy thank you congressman kline. Very good. As they hearing more on witnesses got to academic their own good referencing legal history from the 18th century, thats fine. Watch. If you were going to make a case to a George Washington that you can impeach over a conversation he had with another head of state, i would expect his hair, his powdered hair would catch on fire. Kennedy now thats a fire good thing the hearing was only eight and a half hours long. I get it, youre mad, the president s mad, my republican friends are mad, my democratic friends are mad. My wife is mad, my kids are mad, even my dog seems mad in he is a goldendoodle and they dont get mad. [laughter] so were all mad. The constitution says or can be no titles of nobility while his son can name his son bear and he cant make him a baron. Kennedy all man, that woman is loaded with vinegar. That was more entertaining than watching paint dry i guess. The first lady did not find that last part particularly funny or entertaining. She tweeted shortly after. A minor child gets privacy and should be left out of politics. Carl and you should be let feel bad for using a child to do. And to her credit the professor later apologized. Lets go to tonights party panel. Its a good one. We got cat temp weve also got attorney author and liberal commentators daniel mcglaughlin, and from the right turn strategies when he served as president chris barron. Welcome everyone. Since you are also a baron, that was obviously a preplanned line. And if she said it with a bit of a smile, i think it might have been better received. But she said it with such vitriol. But ever think she said is said with such vitriol. But if you do set a kind offthecuff, i dont think people would have gotten is fired up about it. But it was clearly a preplanned line that she had. And this is supposed to be the somber events in pelosis told us we have no enjoyment of doing this, and shes trying to get yakked, chuckles like the showtime at the apollo over invoking baron trumps name. It is predictable that of course people got ticked off about it and i love this stability crowd all coming to her correct defense. She didnt say anything wrong. Look, you live by the sword you die by the sword. Speed five i agree. Hallelujah. As i was watching this i was actually excited to see what they had to say because i love the constitution. I know all of these professors love the constitution and of course there are different interpretations, i dont have a problem with academics. I dont have a problem with very cold analysis. But i didnt get that especially from pamela carlin. She seemed very angry she remind me of fords lawyer. I think she made a mistake when she made that stupid joke or whatever you want to call it, about baron. But lets be very honest about what she said and the clarity for which she said it. They were talking about bribery, they were talking about finalizing the bribe to actually be guilty of bribery. Bribery said in the constitution that is impeachable. Kennedy and they switch from quid pro quo because its to lighten because to bribery than to treason. Treason is out of the question. Its not wartime. But the very idea that you can abuse your office and uses extraordinary powers, you very broad powers as president and foreign policy. However you cannot do these things with corruption. He wanted political favors. Kennedy i dont think its been proven. Kennedy heres where i agree were people are upset by it. I agree there are parts its wrong and is no business in politics and we have no business minding information or consequences from ukraine or russia, or anywhere else in eastern europe. I get that, but still, i think Jonathan Turley was right when he said when youre talking about impeachment you have to stick the landing. And i dont think the democrats did that. And i really liked what he had to say specifically because this impeachment stuff is been going on for a while and all here all day is either perfect phone call perfect phone call, the president s perfect, hes perfect, and if you said is wrong then you hate the country. Or the president s evil and is ruining the country. If you dont want to impeach him you run the country. To i dont really see whats impeachable here. It made me so happy to see someone who felt kind of the way i did and seeing some nuance in the situation. Hence not very often that im able to watch tv and see someone i agree with or have someone who has the same kinds of things going on in their mind is mine. And thats not just because iceman so much time thinking what it been thinking about other things. Cant mix a really good report. The one republican witness was called. And he said he drove voted against trump. He doesnt like trump. There were hundreds of us additional scholars all across this country. Democrats picked three of the most bitter partisan, trump hating legal scholars and they could have. Republicans were a genius, they didnt pick an archconservative, they pick someone is that i dont like trump. Kennedy they also pick someone had a more measured temperament and did not come off as angry or emotional. And i think thats important here when youre trying to draw people onto your side. Because the constitutionality of this should be dried emotional. Thatll whole. Here. And i think the. Here is also one of the facts of the democrats did not sick the landing. One of the witnesses of the white house is not allowed, those documents. And there should be anonymous. Bring them all on. I think let them all testify. If youre going to have one, youve got to have the others. Adam schiff is already said he met with them he should be one of them and hunter biden because thats the problem. And there are some outstanding questions that deserve answers. That would make a great lifetime movie. Hunter biden hes got so many babies. Kennedy coming up the euros mocking president because of the nato meeting. But do we really need them ornate . But the panel plays back what he says with a trump, biden, or crazy celebrity heres looking at you. Coming up. Im your 70lb st.

Kennedy gaggle of jellybean mean boys got caught gossiping about President Trump at Buckingham Palace because he called out countrys first shirking their nato dues. The lads from france, canada, the uk or poking front that president for the 40 Minute Press Conference on they all know nobody would stick around for 40 seconds of their blather. Trump dishes it out, and hopefully he can take it. But with the gossip mob misses in all of this is the distraction that they are embarrassed because hes rights. Nato is outdated to the. Of being obsolete. And that is never more obvious than when one of its members and is buying Weapons Systems from the country the alliance was designed to fight. Looking at you turkey. The u. S. Shouldnt be footing for the lion share of the dumbbell, and its good for the best rest of the world to analyze these alliances. President trump was hurt when troubled canon 80 and trento join the plastics to slam him. He said this of trudeau. Well is twofaced. Kennedy yeah well one of those faces is noticeably darker than the other. Some of the impeachment experts in todays hearing seized and intellectual outrage that a beloved allied bike ukraine was in russian danger yet no one sees the irony that democrats are trying to tank the president and the important nato some where they could solidify for the protection. You can hate the image of trump, but the action may get a kinder historical stroke if aging institutions are rattled and rolled for the right reasons. And thats the memo. Spoke out french president s concluded the summit by announcing he will be leading review of the alliances future direction. So what should natos future look like . And should the president care what he or Justin Trudeau think of him at all . The panel has returned. So danielle, i do think that its okay to look at nato. If you take the president out of the equation, even for just a moment, you can see we spend way too much money and what are weakening in return . Now that alliances have really shifted . This is about alliances and aligning democracies. Its to make sure that politically and militarily we are pushing off places like russia and china. Basically making sure america stays the dominant power. And is the leader of the free world. I believe in institutions, i believe in international organizations. Kennedy it is not naturally opposed to the Un Security Council . Im not sure at the end of the day yes, but saudi america is on the human rights council. Kennedy but the Security Council with russia and china have veto power. Of course you only need one. But at the end of the day of all these institutions and their accountabilities apply. At the end of the day we are the only country who has actually taken advantage after 911 has gone into afghanistan with nato allies. We have actually seen advantages. I guess what is the alternatives we are back to the preworld war ii order will each man is for himself . Kennedy i dont think it goes pretty world war ii order i think we can acknowledge that in 70 years things have changed. And there are a lot of people who realize that capitalism and free trade are much better than war. We can look at afghanistan, i dont think thats a sign of success from nato you can argue that is an example of failure cat. I agree, and ive mixed feelings on this because trump just completely is blowing it off and i get its a bummer when people make fun of you. But if i would have refused to be anywhere where i had heard people make fun of me i never wouldve made it through high school, so stick it out, its not that bad. This d5 ive been there bro its not easy. But its not wrong to criticize nato. Ive never felt we should be a policeman of the world and we do give a lot more and the others can give a lot less is because we give so much more. We dont want to pay all that anymore. Kennedy therefore more freedom and i resent that as well. Its free to ask if nato is as currently constituted is it the best way to deal with 20th century challenges . We can never questi
