No income verification, no appraisal, and no points. Donald trump has violated his oath of office, betrayed this nation and committed impeachable acts. You know . He should be impeached. Neil now no doubt from joe, trying to deal with the president a blow and a big one. Welcome everybody, i a neil cavuto and this is your world. Joe biden calling for the president to be impeached and its the first time a democratic president ial hopeful has gone this far. He calls it once again illegitimate. With Acting Attorney GeneralMatthew Whitaker on what he
makes to of it. Neal, good afternoon. Joe biden is going all in calling for the 45th president impeachment. In his actions, President Trump has indicted himself by Obstructing Justice and refusing to comply with a congressional inquiry. Hes already convicted himself. Republicans here on capitol hill say democrats should have a fair process. If its to be fair, that puts rights and procedures in place for the minority has rights and the president and his team has input into these process. Things will really heat up when the entire congress is back. Neil lets go to the white house, the president is
taking questions on this dangerous situation in turkey. President trump their bitter enemies have always been and possibly always will be. So we are out of there, weve been out of there for a while, no soldiers whatsoever. They are taking some of the most dangerous Isis Fighters out and have taken them out and are putting them in different locations. Secure. In addition, the kurds are watching, and if the kurds are watching then turkey will watch because they dont want those people out anymore than we do. Weve taken a a number of Isis Fighters that are particularly bad and wanted to make sure that nothing happens to them and i think we are doing a great job. I think the people in this country campaigned on endless wars, all over the country fighting wars. Half the wars nobody knows what they are doing over there and i feel that we are doing the right
thing and i think the country feels that too. Weve had tremendous support outside of the washington area, and even the Washington People are saying, we are doing the right thing. At the same time we are dealing with both sides and we will see what we can do. Since then it appears that there have been casualties on that side of. Are you concerned about escalation and are you concerned that erdogan will wipe out the kurds . President trump i will wipe out his economy if that happens, ive already done it once. I hope he will act rationally. You do have to understand theyve been fighting each other for many, many decades. And its time for the americans and we did a great job. We took care of isis, and i
believe it was 97 and 96 and that last three or four was the hardest part. They told me it would take a year or two years to do it and i did it in a month. And we did it two weeks, through two months. Weve been watching over a lot, watching over the prisoners, some very bad people. So some of those people we have already taken. Many of them came from europe, but they should go back to germany, france, and i spoke with boris johnson, and they came from various parts of europe. They didnt come from our
country, we said to france and germany, we said to various countries in europe, we would like people to take you back. Well we dont want them, we dont want them, and we said we dont want them either but somebody has to watch over them. We did you a favor, take your people back. They didnt want to take them back. I give them one chance, another chance, i give them a third chance and even a fourth chance. Not that i blame them too much, they are used to this with the United States, taking advantage of the United States whether its trade or nato, they take advantage of the United States. But we think that maybe the kurds will do the job and if not the kurds then maybe turkey will do the job. But we have thousands of people. I dont know if you know that, we have thousands of captured
fighters, thousands and Tens Of Thousands of Family Members. And we did a big favor to a lot of countries, and those countries didnt want to take them back so thats the way go goes. If Isis Fighters escape and pose a threat elsewhere, they will be escaping to europe, thats what they want to go. Europe didnt want them for months. They could have bad trials were done whatever they wanted but as usual its not reciprocal. You know my favorite word, reciprocal. Thats all i want. And its not reciprocal, steve. Its not a fair deal for the United States. When president obama took the pk k, they are mortal enemies of turkey and so when you bring them into a partnership, its a tough situation. Theyve hated each other for
many, many years. For hundreds of years. Its amazing when you look at history and you look at culture but you look at the links of the time and the fighting for so long. So we imposed our self into it. I said it yesterday, the single worst country the United States if you take a look at what we are doing with countries and the relationships we have a countries, but may be putting it a different way. The worst mistake that the United States has ever made in my opinion was going into the middle east. It is a quagmire. We are up close to 8 trillion and we are bringing our folks back home. We have great talented military, and our military has never been stronger. But we are now acting as police. We are Policing Areas and doing jobs that other countries should be doing. We are doing jobs frankly that
europe should be doing, that russia should be doing, that iran should be doing, that iraq, turkey and syria should be doing. They should be doing this, we shouldnt be doing it, we are 7,000 miles away. Mr. Graham is talking about imposing economic sanctions, what do you think about that . President trump i already told that to president erdogan, far more than sanctions. Lindsay and i feel differently. I think lindsey would like to stay there for the next 200 years and then add maybe a couple hundred thousand people every place but i disagree with lindsay on that. I will tell you i disagree on sanctions but i think much tougher on sanctions. I have gotten him to stop from virtually the first day i was in office, but they wanted to fight and thats the way it is. And theyve done it for so long. So what is as humane a way as possible . President trump we will have to define that as we go along. If you listen to erdogan, he wants to have people go back to where they came from and go back to syria. Right now he is Holding Millions of people that would be all over the place if he wasnt holding them so he wants to repatriate, he wants them to go back into the area that hes looking at. But we will see how he does it. He could do it in a soft matter or a very tough matter but if he does it that way he will pay a big economic price. In a letter that you sent up to nancy pelosi, you appeared to declare war on the Impeachment Inquiry. Can you tell us in your words why its incumbent on the house to hold the boat and authorize the inquiry, and if they were to hold the vote and it were to be positive, would you then cooperate . Let me say that the Republican Party of the president and the Republican Party has been treated very badly by the democrats. Because they have a Tiny Marriagmarginin the house and te eviscerated the rules, they havent given us any fair play its the most unfair situation people have seen. No lawyers, you cant have lawyers, you cant speak, you virtually cant do anything. Then on top of that you have a Guy Named Schiff and nancy pelosi knows this because shes just as guilty as he is. So you have i mean perfect. But they dont read that. He defrauded the American Public and he gave his own words. Mark meadows is here, and honestly mark ike can say that you didnt believe it when you heard it. Many of the people that we work with including democrats have never heard anything like that. He made up a phone call. He spoke about it a day too early. They heard a whistleblower that came out with a false story. People say it was fairly close, it wasnt close at all but the whistleblower report no relationship to the caller. We had a transcribed call done by professionals. And it was a perfect call, but schiff made it up. Then we found out the whistleblower was in cahoots with shift. Then the whistleblower is working with one of my opponents as a democrat that i may end up running against. The whole thing is a scam, its effects. We wrote a letter yesterday and it probably ends up being a Big Supreme Court case. But the Republican Party has been treated unbelievably badly and unfairly by the democrats. What of about the vote in the full house and authorized, would you cooperate . They would do, it just depends. But all of these crazy things, and even some of the reporters say its not an unfair situation. They ask all the questions and then for instance, the ambassador that testified was a fine gentleman. He gave great testimony for us. But we dont get to do any of that or show any of that. So they brought out only the negative things, all which were knocked out by his other statements. It was a great witness for us, but if you would have listened to them it would have been a better witness for them. It wasnt even close. He was a fine gentleman and we saw that and, we said that was very unfair. There are reports that the chinese are lowering their expectations for a trade deal. How are you also lower your expectations . President trump i dont think so. I think they feel im driving a tough bargain but i have to. You know better than anybody, you do a good job over there, i watch you a lot. We are so far down in terms of where we started from president s that didnt do their job for many years, since the World Trade Organization founding. In 2001 or so. China won, and it ripped off the world. I told that to president xi, i said this cant be a 50 50 deal because in a 50 50 deal, you are up there and we are down here. So the 50 50 deal doesnt work. You have to have a little balance, this has to be a better deal from the standpoint. And i think they fully understand it. One of the really good meetings i had today was with our people on opioids and drugs and fentanyl, and fentanyl in particular with respect to your
question. They said chinese leadership has a lot of respect for our president. And they are really being much more careful, its a much different situation. We have some great drug numbers. If you are down 15, 16, 20 or 25 , its still horrible Whats Going On in this country and the whole world. I think they have a lot of respect for us and its a first time that you have ever respected us. I think china has a lot of respect for me and our country and what we are doing and i think they cant believe what they have gotten away with for so many years. Is it wrong to be putting pressure on the nba . Speak to the nba is a different thing. I watched this guy, steve kerr, he was so scared. He was like a little boy, he didnt know how to answer the question and he was shaking. He talked about the United States very badly. I watched popovich do the same
thing but he wasnt quite as scared. They talk badly about the United States but when they talk about china, they dont want to say anything bad. I thought it was pretty sad actually. It will be very interesting. Are you okay then with the Chinese Government pressuring the nba over hong kong . President trump they have to work out their own situation. The nba knows what they are doing. But i watch the way that kerr and popovich and others were pandering to china and yet to our own country, its like they dont respect it. Its like they dont respect it. I said, what a difference, isnt that sad . To me its very sad. Mr. President joe biden came out for the first time today and said you should be impeached, your response . President trump well, hes falling like a rock. We have him on tape with corruption. Hes getting the prosecutor for i guess it was 2 billion, saying we are not
going to give the 2 billion or whatever the amount was. And then he says, Lo And Behold the prosecutor is gone. And that was the prosecutor 1. 2 billion, not a lot of money. Then, his son takes out 1. 5 billion from china. By the way, the 50,000 per month he was getting looks like 168,000 split among him and somebody else. And also theres a payment of about 3 million to his son. His son just got thrown out of the navy. So, biden is dropping like a rock and i dont think hes going to make it. I didnt think he was going to make it for a long time and i guess this is when we can do it. He sees whats happening to him and he is no longer the front runner. But look, i feel badly for him because i know hes going through a lot. He has been hit and he has been caught redhanded. Here is the man who is on tape
saying exactly what hes going to do in terms of corruption and he gets away with it. Did that ever happened to a republican if that happened to a republican, they would be getting the Electric Chair right now. Its a whole different standard. What joe biden said on tape, this isnt like, gee whiz, we think. The fake media doesnt want to play the tape. They hardly play it. So i feel that its too bad what is happening to him. Hes thinking and his campaign is sinking. We look at the kind of numbers that his son who is at best incompetent. He got thrown out of the navy. I dont even want to say why. The subject that we just discussed. I dont want to say why. All of a sudden hes making a deal with the ukraine where they are getting 168,000 per month between the two of them . 168,000 and he gets payments
with all this money coming out. The kid hasnt no expertise or energy, you and i both know much more than he does. And then you walk into china and a couple days later, ten days later to be exact gets 1. 5 billion out of china and he has no expertise and i have friends that are the smartest people on wall street and they say its not possible. Its a pretty sad situation. I wanted to clarify something you said earlier. If lucy holds a vote on the floor for impeachment and commits to the rules of previous impeachment proceedings, President Trump if the rules are fair because i dont know exactly the definition. Republicans get a fair shake, because republicans we were very nice to them. When paul ryan was the speaker, he really wouldnt give subpoenas. Im not saying good, bad or
indifferent, here is a man who knows it very well. They go in with all of the corruption that theyd been reading about and all the things theyve done wrong with comey and all of these people. When we wanted a subpoena, it was very hard to get it. Nancy pelosi issued subpoenas, come on in and get them. Gives them to nadler, this guy is one crooked guy. But yet, made up my phone call. In the United States congress, he made up my phone call. And i had people say, i didnt like the way you talked to the ukrainian president. I said did you read my speech . No, i heard schiff. Let me see what he said, a lot of people saw that. And frankly, i dont know if anybody would have noticed or called him out. He took my really, believe it or
not, congenial and gentle words and made it sound like a tyrant. He defrauded the American Public. Honestly, i dont know what can happen but there are those that say he should be prosecuted for what he did. He should certainly be impeached but he should be prosecuted for what he did. I think hes a very bad leader of this movement. There is a new report out today that the whistleblower said the white house officials came to him and said you committed a crime on that call. Did any white house official express any concern to you or speak to you about that phone call . President trump its all a big con. The phone call, you have it. The transcript, you have it. What happened is if they would have seen the transcript early they wouldnt have had a whistleblower because he wouldnt have said there was nothing he could say. All you could do is read the transcript, very calm. Whats even more important than the transcript, because it was
really plainvanilla, no emotion, no nothing. These are democrats headed up by a democrat lawyer. And even the world. The world is watching and they get it better than a lot of other people. And all you have to do is read the transcript. The president , he didnt even know what they were talking about. The Foreign Minister of the ukraine, there was no pressure. And when you see what the whistleblower said about the phone call, and i dont know another person that defraud the american person. The administration tried to bury that transcript President Trump i know, im not my lawyer. I assume this, i assume it was for leaks. And ive read that, and it doesnt seem like its a big deal. We gave over that transcript just immediately, and only been doing that for three weeks. We gave that transcript up almost immediately. They heard schiffs phony
version, and id like to find, the whistleblower and hearing about the conversation, the conversation was i think a perfect conversation. If that person exists, im not sure that person exists. I think its important to find out who that person is, because you could have a spy. And we are negotiating with china and syria, and, i want to be free to make calls. I dont mind a misinterpretati misinterpretation. This is a fraud. That Bore No Resemblance to what the call was. Can we go back to the conversation from boris johnson, and american diplomats, and what did you decide . And its quite a subject. A terrible accident, and a young man was killed on his motorcyc motorcycle.
