Bob, stick to what you are really good eye which is acting. Great show hannity. Thank you much but im laura ingraham. This is the ingraham angle. So who is the whistleblower and what could their identity reveal about the origins of this whole controversy . Oh, boy. Tonight im going to speak to a former cia analyst and whistleblower himself who says that he has the answers. Also tonight, congressman devin nunes just sent a letter to the Intel CommunityCommunity Inspector general about what he used to take off this whole ordeal and could the entire impeachment bush ruined the democrats in the eyes of the amn voters . Corey lewandowski and davis hanson will tell us but first, democrats democracy problem. Thats the focus of tonights angle. It was nice to get out of washington last week. Even if it was only for a few days in chicago. Another city run by liberals. Getting out of the new york washington corridor it always reminds me of the fact that americans are generally a lot fairer and smarter and more practical minded than a lot of the bigwigs in politics and the media. Especially in socalled flyover country. They have a pretty keen sense of what matters, where the solutions might be found, and whats not working. A lot of folks approached me no pies were thrown but they approach me with comments like these. Laura, whats with all the craziness in washington . Is this going to hurt the economy . Why dont they just let the Voters Decide next november . This is absurd . Obviously its not a Scientific Survey and im not contending it is but these comments to get me thinking, and ive come to the sad conclusion that democrats are basically done with democracy at least when it delivers results they dont lik like. He knows hes an illegitimate president prayed he knows. He knows that there were a bunch of Different Reasons why the election turned out the way it did. It was like applying for a job in getting 66 million letters of recommendation and losing to a corrupt human tornado. Think about it. This is a woman whose state Department Office was a revolving door of foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation and by the way, Whose Campaign funded the phony russian dossier that led to the mueller investigation. And she is alleging an illegitimate outcome . Is she kidding me . Now she may not be commander in chief but i hereby double her celebrate in chief. This wasnt on the level. I dont know that we will ever know everything that happened but clearly we know a lot and are learning more every day and history will probably sort it all out. Laura last may, one politico historian Alan Lichtman who will buy the way it has protect correctly predict of the last nine elections said something that has democrats seo have taken a hard a hard. Child is it in 2020 and less what . Unless the democrats grow a spine and do their constitutional duty and move into an impeachment inquiry and i think the evidence will show ultimately an impeachment. Laura in 2016, remember, nearly 63 million americans turned out for trump and he beat hillary by 74 electoral votes. The left cannot take that risk again. They are not so confident. Even if they cant actually remove him from office with a senate conviction, they want an Impeachment Vote by years end to smear him. It may be that they think with some independent voters. If we dont do this quickly come the public is going to turn on us. They are not going to side with us if we did not side with justice. Laura the key to understanding the current impeachment mania is anger. They are not just angry the democrats with tromp or policies. That many of them are angry with america. They dont care if impeachment is bad for the country, it is going to hurt the economy, or even if the president ability to conduct Foreign Policy. Why dont their care . Because they think we are basically a racist country that hasnt made amends. They think we are destroying the environment. They think our history is one long narrative of victimization. They think much of our patriotic traditions, the art, the music, the monuments, all symbols of oppression and ignorance. They think we are a nation founded by evil white men. They think that our electoral system, it even allowed trump to win and confirmed in their mind minds lets abolish the electoral college. It needs to go. Get rid of the electoral college. Laura again, for now, they may trust voters in places like new york and california but they dont trust them in places like South Carolina or michigan. This is why they cannot lead trumps record on the economy or Foreign Policy stand on its own. Not because they care. What a way it by the way about ukraine or because they think trump is conspiring with another country to raid the 2020 election. They dont think any of that. In fact, i would argue that impeachment is it sells a form of democrats election interference. And by the way, the democrats are fine with using impeachment by a political weapon. Oh, boy, are they fine. Because they see impeachment as a way to punish not only trump but us. After all, we elected him. Remember, they call this deplorables. We are clinging to our guns and our religion. And when obama said upon this your enemies, he was talking about you. Cory booker last week use the word despicable to describe trump voters. The left now is so radical that they believe any Election Results is crooked if it doesnt advance what they consider to be legitimate social justice caucus. In other words, if you win and you are conservative, you havent won, youve stolen the election always. Stacy abrams played this game since she lost the ownership of georgia. It was not a free and fair election. Can session needs to Say Something is right and true and proper. Sometimes the law does not do what it showed. Laura by the way, she almost always says this and its on challenge. Abrams was too liberal for georgia. Thats why she lost. Look, they know that at the end of the day, their policies of open borders and massive wealth compensation ending of fossil fuel industry altogether are deeply unpopular with the American People and they also know those policies will result in a lower standard of living for most americans. But they dont care. The fact that we are the most powerful and richest country in america isnt a badge of honor, its a badge of shame. Its okay if it all comes down. In 2020, they must win by any means necessary. To defeat him at the polls would do history a disservice, would do our nation a disservice, he has caused fraught to the society appeared we need to do something better. They wanted their choice to weaponize impeachment is all the proof you need of their aversion to democratic rule. Its the same on impulse by the way that drives them to want to see authority to the u. N. The world trade organization. Why they once favored the transpacific partnership. The prayers problem in accord. Its also why they will relied heavily on judges to regulate from the bench on everything from immigration to abortion. Take the issues away from the American People. They cant trust the voters. De Alexandria Ocasio Cortez democrats see the voters of speed bumps on the way to progressive promised land. The watch out kids, because these speed bumps have spikes. If your party stays on this antidemocratic road you wont just lose a tire coming or going to blow an thats the angle. In moments we will debate just how much the democrats are risking with this ridiculous impeachment push and how its turning out a wide swath of American Voters but for us, here to respond to the tactics, sol wisenberg. Saul, the democrats clearly believe they have the Impeachable Offense on the hands. You agree . No, i dont read this phone call alone even connect it with a timeline i think as you know i think the phone call was a mistake and the idea in and of itself being an Impeachable Offense is a joke. The one mistakes arent high crimes and misdemeanors. If things can be interpreted especially by some people who dont like you politically, that is not what the threshold would be considered by our framers or throughout our democratic tradition. Even if you consider it the trail of the public trust or in some sense corrupt, in and of itself, it is not enough in the framers would not have thought it to be enough to merit impeachment. Someone put it this way the other day. As joe biden get immunity from scrutiny or investigation because he is running for president . By kurt this Current Administration pressure mike c . Because i would be a neat trick if you run for president but you can never be investigated. You know, they didnt have to do it that way. They could say what Vice President bidens son did was profoundly troubling. Was something that we should eradicate and we should look at this and lets look at President Trump as well but they can even bring themselves to say that. I have to say they were cleared. Well, cleared by who . What is he talking about . The wall street journal has a public piece about the clintons and ukraine but heres what the Associated Press reported today. Democrats are driving the proceedings toward what some hope of the vote to impeach or indict trump by years end. Tell us about that. Interesting choice words. The house cant do that. If you want to claim that to our viewers. Only a federal prosecutor, only the department of justice, can bring an indictment where they have to bring it to a federal grand jury and they both have to agree on that so whoever wrote that needs basic training in physics. Laura heres some developments regarding the attorney general bill barr. Headline from todays washington post. Attorney general bill barr personally asked foreign officials to aid inquiry into cia fbi activities in 2016. Another one trump pressed australian leader to cross ukraine origins. This was from the australian investor. Any problems there . Not as far as ag barr is concerned. My understanding is that ag barr has appointed or delegated john durham, widely respected u. S. Attorney in connecticut, widely respected by both parties, to head the investigation of the intelligence operation against President Trump in the election. Its totally appropriate for him to meet with foreign leaders, ag barr, and say this is my man john durham feared we would appreciate it if you would cooperate with him. He is running an investigation. Theyre bringing it up clearly to try to tar barr. I believe the Central Point of this whole exercise in addition to going after the president is to neutralize barr. Because the ag has gone to Great Lengths to take a person who has an impeccable reputation so this is really from the beginning when it became clear that barr was competent and had integrity and wasnt protecting the president , its been all about destroying barr. Laura it doesnt surprise me at all that pompeo was on that call and was in the room and now theyre saying well, he was supposed to be the adult in the room so now pompeo should be thrown over but to me its one big smear machine trying to smear all of these people who frankly have all had impeccable records in public service. Lets learn the facts. The democrats want to hold an impeachment hearing . Was here the fact that i have an open mind. But she would happen on the call. Probably if its like a lot of the president s discussions, pompeo may hit not have had any idea with the president was going to say. Laura i got to say, the bottom line is, theres a lot about joe biden and his involvement in ukraine is the journal writes tonight that we dont know and there is an aggressive lack of curiosity that developed that wasnt always there but developed among the American Media which is staggering for people who were supposed to be interested in getting at the truth. I agree with you but that doesnt change the fact that the people disturbed by the phone calls and say that this is money thats been very important money for an ally, money for defense thats been appropriated by the congress and approved and it shouldnt be made contingent upon Something Like the biden laura your reading stuff that stop there. Nancy pelosi did the same thing last night on 60 minutes. What im saying is that its legitimate to look into that issue. The democrats want to look into it, let the chips fall where they may. If you want are you disturbed they are making up things and saying the president said help me out at the election . You never said that. Pelosi is quoting things last night and she doesnt even get challenge. Is completely false. He never said it all. They always overplayed their hand. There is no need to do that. Are you worried about Rudy Giuliani . Anything problematic there for him . Im only worried about it i dont know what he said and what he didnt but im only worried about it in the sense that as a private citizen in his ability to invoke an executive type of privilege is much weaker than someone who is is gotten attorneyclient privilege but will he not for conversations that he has with the foreign leader. He doesnt represent the foreign leader. So i hope there is nothing there because he is going to a much harder time exerting a privilege. Spewing great to see you in washington. Thank you so much. Their pricing in the community ag for answers on why the requirements for a whistleblower complaint and get into that. They chain claim that the ig removed the requirements for whistleblowers to have first hand knowledge of that alleged wrongdoing. Another complaint against trump is based completely on secondhand accounts. Quote, the timing raises question about potential connection to this whistleblowers complaint and potential criminality in the handling of these matters. Joining me now, one of the letters signatories, house until Committee Ranking member, devin nunes. Congressman, the ig tonight pushing back against claims saying the whistleblower did present firsthand information. Quote, the whistleblower stated on the form that he or she possess both firsthand and other information. The ig review the info and provided other information gathered and determined the plate was both urgent and appeared credible good whats your response . Im glad we finally have a response from the ig. Remember, this leaked out last friday. The dni refused to respond to it so finally because of the pressure put on this morning, we are getting an answer from the Inspector General but i would say this. I havent seen any evidence of that so if he has firsthand knowledge, he or she, where is that evidence . Just because the ig said so, they havent provided us that evidence and furthermore, he didnt answer anything in that press release that we asked in our letter today so he has until thursday to provide us the facts, the evidence, the emails. Because they admit that they changed this regulation. This guideline. They changed it because of this whistleblower. He admits it in his own press release. So the mainstream is trying to cover this up. The Inspector General, he may be happy with the press he reads in the Mainstream Media become thursday, if he doesnt provide the actual evidence of all the communications, we will see him on friday and we will interview him on this and as we said, we think this is very suspicious between the changing of the guidelines and the leaks that there is some criminality involved here. The washington post, i believe, is giving you four pinocchios for the claim. Because i do that every day though. We have two sets of media in this country. The Mainstream Media and then the media thats actually trying to get to the truth. The rules were either changed or not. Thats an objective question, is it not . They were change thats a fact. He admits in his threepage response today, a press release, that they did in fact change of because of this whistleblower. What i am very concerned about is the purposeful misstatement and this is done with malign purpose. Misstatement, missed characterization of what the president actually said and i call which was about our relationship and the friendship on the money they spent, europe is not giving enough money, europe is imparting out, mentioned Rudy Giuliani, but nancy pelosi took a page, i reckon through this with sol earlier, from what adam schiffs book. In her interview with 60 minutes. Watch. Its wrong for a president to say that he wants another head of state to create something negative about his possible political opponent to his own advantage at the expense of the national security. Laura okay. Congressman, this is an impeachable crown transgression. Why do they keep making up details about the transcript . Why . They have to make it up because there is no evidence there. This was all concocted. They are rushing to impeachment. They want to get impeachment on before december. Why . Because they know if they go into next year and drive the country through it, it will continue to be a loser so they have to move fast. One thing they learned with the Mueller Probe is that the longer its out there, it started to rot and smell and likely a lot of those people are gonna be in trouble. They want to move fast with this, they want to come in hot, they want to get this done. They have the media whipped up into a frenzy and theyre getting this is about raising money. Theyre going to have to impeach because they promised the days. This basically blocks themselves in. I have another theory. A lot of these swing democrats wrongly think this is going to get them primary it up by an aoc plus three type candidate. This is like their insurance policy forgetting primary to the left. There is actually two different members beauty of those that are that in the swing distr
