History. Also in 1871, the great fire of chicago killed 200 people, destroyed more than four miles of buildings. And in 1940, german troops occupied romania. In 1952, the worst a little crash. And on 1970, this baby was born and mutated into the monster now known as matt damon. And somewhere, right now, matt is celebrating by eating a free ice cream sundae all alone at ihop. You know, for whatever reason, matt has a star on the hollywood walk of fame. Can we get a shot of that . Aside o oh, no, he bigger mant thats not, you hate to see that happen on this speciayal matt damons birth someday a good reminder that there are bad things happening in this country that have nothing to do with the president at all. Congress was supposed to hear testimony from gordon sondland. He was scheduled to borsht. He was told in the middle of the night he was not permitted to testify. The president wrote, i would love to send ambassador sondland, but hed be testifying before a truly kangaroo court. Importantly, the tweet it was a text by the way says i believe youre incorrect about the president s intentions. No quid pro quo of any kind. That says it all. And that doesnt say it all. The president is referencing a text between sond lacland and b taylor. Trump mystioonly put hold. On september 1st, the ambassador wrote, are we now saying that Security Assistance and white house meeting are conditioned on investigations, and sondland wrote back, uh, call me. That doesnt sound fish eye y a. So he called him. Hewrabout a week later, taylor aot phone, i think its crazy to withhold Security Assistance for help with a political campaign, which is essentially what trump is going to be impeached for. Sondland says i believe you are incorrect about president trumps intention. The president has been crystal clear. The president is trying to evaluate whether ukraine is truly going to ado the ttrhat president zelinsky promised during his campaign. I suggest we stop the back and forth by text. Yeah, i bet you do. I suggest you give lisa kenna or s a call. Like a guilty husband who found out his wife g dms . Then five hours of silence, i would never have sex with you. How dare you attempt to cop lule with me. Did sondland callhis cryal clear message back to cover the president s big orange ass. So the white house this afternoon september afternoon sent an eightpage letter to democrats saying they would not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry. Gordon sondlang dgot the job after he contributed a Million Dollars to trumps nauinaugurat fund. While we should have the opportunity to hear his testimony, really, we dont need to hear his testimony. We have the white houses own transcript of the call with the ukrainian president where trump specifically asks him to investigate the bidens day afr withholding their military aid. Trumps behavior was said to be crazy and frightening, like it is on most perfect calls. Times says the white h sewyers were trying to figure o out what to do after the call because in their words the president had clear committed r tonvgate a u. S. Person for the purposes of advancing his own reelection bid in 2020. Oops . How dumb is this guy . And these jackals who rally around him, they are so desperately trying to defend something they know nothing about, and theyre doing it by discrediting the very house of representatives they are in. We would like to see the volker testimony released before we continue the depositions and transcribed interviews. And what we see in this pooec impeachment is a kangaroo court. And chairman schiff is acting like a captain kangaroo. This is a clown show. Jimmy i will not argue that. This is a clown show, and we have president it running it. Hes said to be so paranoid about leakers he wants everyone in the white house to submit to lie detector tests. I have three words for that. You go first. [cheers and applause] can you imagine, he wants all his staffers. I actually love this idea. I think he stumbled on the idea for his next reality show. I would watch the heck out of it. He wants to give other people a lie detector. This is like pants and walkin around yellin, someone in here stinks. Meanwhile, with all this hell breaking loose, where in the world is trumps old pal sean world is trumps old pal sean world is trumps old pal sean jimmy somehow sean spicer is still dancing with the stars. Lamar odom got eliminated last night. He will not go home empty handed. Watch lamar odum on the left as he makes an ecun dancing with the stars move. Two things. We were all, like, i cant even speak i was so excited. We were all just smiling. Yoip when y y y y y anyway, i mentioned this last night.
