10:00 pm
look at the fullness of the record of their witnesses their witnesses the witnesses statements the transcripts there's one thing there's one thing that emerges there is no violation of law there's no violation of the constitution there is a disagreement on policy decisions most of those that spoke at your hearings did not like the president's policy that's why we have elections that's what policy differentials and differences are discussed but to have have a removal of a duly elected president based on a policy disagreement that is not what the framers intended and if you lower the bar that way danger danger danger because
10:01 pm
the next president or the one after that he or she will be held to that same standard i hope not i pray not that that's not what happens not just for the sake of of my client but for the constitution you know professor dershowitz gave a list of presidents from washington to where we are today who under that standard that they are proposing could be subject to abuse of power or obstruction of congress look we know that what this is is not about a president pausing aid to ukraine it's really not about a phone call it's about a lot of attempts on policy disagreements that are not being debated
10:02 pm
here my goodness how much time how much time has been spent in the house of representatives hoping they were hoping that the moeller probe would result in. i'm not going to play i was thinking about it playing all the clips from all the commentators the day after the day after the testified. by mother was unable to answer under his examination basic and fundamental questions he had correct himself actually hit correct himself before the senate for something he said before the house so that's what the president's been living
10:03 pm
with and then we're here today arguing about what a phone call to ukraine or ukraine aide being held or a question about corruption or a question about corruption that happens to involve a high public profile figure i mean is that what this is is that where we are and then what do we find out the aide was released. it was released in an orderly fashion the reform president president zelinsky wins but there was a question whether his party would take the parliament it did they work late into the evening with a desire to put forward reforms so everybody was waiting clothing and you heard the testimony from i will say their witnesses you heard the testimony everybody was concerned about ukraine everybody was concerned about whether these reforms could
10:04 pm
actually take place everybody was concerned about it so you hold back didn't affect anything that was going on in the field we heard mr crow worrying about the soldiers i understand that i appreciate that but none of that aid was affecting what was going on on the battlefield right then or for the next 4 months because it was future aid we having in it pietschmann proceeding because aid came out 3 weeks before the end of the fiscal year or a 6 minute phone call it boil it down that's what this is it's interesting to me that everybody's saying will be able to finally really september 11th only because of the committee and the whistleblower who we've never seen mr philbin dealt with that in great detail not going to go over that again
10:05 pm
but you know the new high court the anti-corruption court was an establishing did not sit until september 5th 2019. so while the president of ukraine was trying to get reforms put in place the court that was going to decide corruption issues was not set until september 5th i want i want you to think about this for a moment too they needed a high court of corruption for corruption. think about that from now that's good that they recognized it but remember when i said the other day it don't make wave a magic wand and now ukraine doesn't have a corruption problem the high court of corruption which they have to have because it's not just pass corruption they're concerned about ongoing corruption issues and you could put all of your witnesses back on the under
10:06 pm
oath in the next hearings you'll have when this is all over and you're going to be back in the house we'll be doing this again put them all back under oath and ask them mr ship is there a problem of corruption in ukraine and if they get up there and say no everything is great now hollow you but i suspect they're going to say we're working really hard on it and i and i believe him but this idea that it was just vanished and now we're back into everything's fine it's absurd mr marson testified that while the developments were taking place the vice president also met with presidents alinsky in warsaw that was the meeting of september 1st the one by the way where the vice president's office said in response to this new york times he nobody told him about aid being held or linked to
10:07 pm
investigations are you going to stop. are you going to allow prissie proceedings on impeachment to go from one new york times report about someone that says what they hear is in a manuscript is that where we are i don't think so i open up what inmarsat say. he heard firsthand that the new ukraine administration was taking concrete steps to address corruption that's good he advised the president that the relationship with zelinsky is one that could be trusted good presidents enlistee also agree with vice president pence this is interesting that the european should be doing more and related to vice president pence conversations he had been having with european leaders about getting them to do more in some the
10:08 pm
president raised 2 issues he was concerned with to get them addressed now i've already went over again this is just the closing moments here of this proceeding of our portion of this proceeding aig was withheld were paused put on a pause button not just for ukraine afghanistan south korea el salvador honduras guatemala lebanon and pakistan and i'm sure i'm leaving countries out but do you think the american people are concerned if the president says you know before we give a country i don't know $550000000.00 some countries only $400000000.00 we'd like to know what they're doing with it you're supposed to be the guardians of the trust here it's the taxpayers' money
10:09 pm
we're spending a lot testimony form from dr fiona hill john bolton's deputy here's what she said about aid is being held the morning there was a pre put freeze put on all kinds of aid and assistance because it was in the process at the time of the awful lot of reviews of foreign assistance oh you mean there was a policy within the administration to review foreign assistance and how we're doing it because we spent a lot of money and by the way i'm not complaining about the money i don't think anybody doesn't want to help but we do need to know what's going on and those are valid and important question manager crow told you that president the president's ukraine policy was not strong against russia but. ambassador you have on of it stated the exact opposite she said in her deposition that our country's ukraine
10:10 pm
policy under president trump actually her words got stronger than it was under president obama so again policy disagreements disagreements on approach have elections that's what we do in our republic for 3 long days house managers presented their case by selectively showing parts of testimony good lawyers show parts of testimony you want to show the whole thing but other good lawyers show the rest of the testimony and that's what we sought to do to give you a fuller view of what we saw as the glaring omissions by my colleagues the house managers the legal issues here are the constitutional ones and i have been i think pretty
10:11 pm
clear over the last week starting when we had the motions arguments at my concern about the constitutional obligations that we're operating under i have been critical of manager nad lawyers executive privilege and other nonsense. i want you to look at it this way take out executive privilege 1st amendment free speech and other nonsense the free exercise of religion and other nonsense the rights to due process and other nonsense rights equal protection of the laws and other nonsense you can't start doing that you would not do that no one ministration has done that in fact since the 1st administration of george
10:12 pm
washington they wanted information he thought it was privilege he said it was executive privilege but let's not start calling constitutional rights other nonsense lumping them together. this is from from a house of representatives actually believes the attorney client privilege doesn't apply which should scare every lawyer in washington d.c. but more are more scary to the lawyers will be for their clients they say that in writing in letters i don't hide i would ask them i don't i'm not going to it's not my privilege to do that do you really believe that you really believe that the attorney client privilege does not apply in a congressional hearing you really believe that because if it doesn't apply then
10:13 pm
there is no attorney client privilege or is that the attorney client privilege and other nonsense danger danger danger we believe that article one fails constitutionally the president has constitutional authority to engage in conduct foreign policy and foreign affairs is our position legally the president at all times acted with perfect legal authority inquired of matters in our national interest and having received assurances of those matters continued his policy that his administration put forward of what really is unprecedented support for ukraine including the delivery of military aid package that was denied to the ukrainians by prior mistreatment you know some sitting some
10:14 pm
the managers right here my colleagues at the other table voted in favor of those jet wanted javelin and to take missiles for ukraine some of the members here did not want to do that voted against that i'm glad we gave it to him i'm glad we allowed them to purchase javelins i tell you i never served in the military i have tremendous tremendous respect for the men and women that protect our freedom each and every day i commend this respect for what they are doing and continue to do. but this president actually allowed the javelin to go some of you like that idea some of you did not it's policy difference we're going to impeach president obama because he did not give them lethal aid. no nor should you not do that policy difference policy difference did not rise to the
10:15 pm
level of constitutionally mandated were constitutional applications for removal from office it is policy differences by the way it's not just on lethal weapons in president obama's i said withheld aid he had the right to do that you've allowed him to do that oh but we don't like that this president did it so the rules change so this president's rules are different than he has a different set of standards he has to apply than what you allowed the previous administration to apply and you know what or the future administration why that's the problem with these articles we've laid out i believe
10:16 pm
a compelling case and what the constitution requires when they were in the house of representatives putting this together did they go through a constitutionally mandated accommodation process to see if there was a way to come up with something no they did not do they run to court now and the one time it was about to happen they were in the other way separation powers means something it's not separation of powers and other nonsense if we've reached now at this very moment in the history of our republic a bar of impeachment because you don't like the president's policies or you don't like the way he undertook those policies because we hear
10:17 pm
a lot about policy it partisan impeachment is now the rule of the day which these members and members of the senate said should never be the rule of the day my goodness they said it some of them 5 months ago but then we had the national emergency a phone call it's an emergency except i would just wait but a partisan impeachment based on policy disagreements which is what this. impersonal presumptions. ok let's leave the impeachment and go and listen to what the past the president said palestinian authority re acting there to the deal that we have heard proposed in the earlier by donald trump let's listen in salute our brave people
10:18 pm
in jerusalem west bank and gaza and yes poorer for their rise in the face of this really if you're patient and rejection of the so called the deal of the century that shall not pass this day will be thrown by our people in the history. landfills. so as were the all the plots against our people we are all confident that we will be granted victory as our people have been sacrificing on the road to freedom and independence for the sake of jerusalem and palestine i also. remember an owner of our fallen martyr and salute our prisoners and refugees to them i reiterate your rights. guaranteed and
10:19 pm
stood. to and they're not forgot again and i also accept press our appreciation to the people in their solidarity to the palestinian people who are seeking their leisure to meet rightful rights and at this critical moment i address all the palestinian with in our homeland and beyond to stand united to stand together in solidarity and cement their national unity give presidents. to our resistance to the israeli occupation and the plot to undermine our president goes i and now is that our strategy is built on our continued struggle and resistance to put an end to the occupation and that pave the way for the pendent palestinian state with jerusalem as its capital
10:20 pm
and we will immediately take all measures necessary in order to change the functional performance of the government. in implementation of that illusions handed down by the central bureau we cannot be brought to our knees we cannot and shall not give up we are still. fast the palestinian people and fortitude and very very interface of there is a local paper and the plots and enterprises designed to undermine the palestinian cause will fail they shall not give rise to any right to the israeli or undermine any obligation we are standing up to all the plot to drive a wedge. between our people with the aim to undermine the palestinian cause and by the support of the. free men and the word and the fascist rule will
10:21 pm
fall to our martyrs prisoners the wounded brave palestinian people to. to their so work and other palestinian territories to the palestinian people we say and all our foreign martyrs your noble blood will not go down the drain we will not give up glory to the martyr and long live palestine. my fellow countrymen minutes ago we have been listening to president trump and this really prime minister netanyahu speaking of the slap of the deal it will be returning more slaps to them in future.
10:22 pm
and the end now in cement we did not find anything new compared to we have heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago. we heard that during is the on divided capital of israel as claimed by them therefore we cannot wait and wait then keep waiting since that time till this day our stance our position has not changed and after we have heard this utterly nonsense we say no no and big no to the deal of the century. my fellow countrymen. we consider this deal. is the. end of
10:23 pm
the battle for their patience this was the goal the ultimate goal desire and at that time bell for declaration was drafted and when we go through the lines of this declaration speaking of. as a promise for a homeland for the jewish state and for the residents they can have some civil and religious rights the same. words rephrased. they have exposed they have been exposed their true faces have been exposed and we are back to 1917 to have all their goals and desires unveiled unveiled in 2021 this is the deal of the
10:24 pm
century belt on the balfour declaration drafted by both the united states and britain. some might find it surprising that the united states yes simply because it was drafted by the united states in agreement with britain it was. fired by their to the league of the nations at that time while it was not yet a member and it was also logic and their mandate it was the united states is it surprising in the past we have heard that the americans enjoy some democracy and moral ethics yet this is the american policy we see being implemented on the ground that's why we should
10:25 pm
. establish facts this belford declaration was earlier drafted by the united states a 100 years ago is now being implemented by the united states and 2020 some my the big quilt or the 7 that the zionist lobby or the aipac is calling the shots in the white house and they in the. u.s. administration is being steered by the zionist lobby this is non sense it is the us administration that is a puppet tearing the lobby is to act in their interest without would in delving and the details of the deal it is enough to stand.
10:26 pm
to pose on the lie in stating that there is a limit undivided capital of israel the other details are no doubt significant yet it is the headline and the headline is totally secular ledgers this is the headline how about the body of the message. or what has been said about the implementation of the plan all. is simply the policies drafted by israel the border line under the israeli control. they. generously have taken 30 to 40 percent of our territories and it's them to israel this is nonsense. this is
10:27 pm
what has been mentioned in the deal of the century that's why we categorically reject this day and we had earlier detected from the very beginning our position has not changed and we were right that we did not wait they have been asking us to wait in order to hear the details what to hear jerusalem has gone can we accept a state without jerusalem. impossible it is impossible for any palestinian arab muslim or even christian trial to accept such nonsense from the beginning we said no however. some honest men and the word have some concerns they know facts and they are
10:28 pm
able to establish rights there are many well it why then this is what we should embark on as we speak the opinion. is speaking of the 2 state solution on the basis of the international legitimate or is illusion so this is good even within the u. s. congress and here we should understand that even within the american people we should mention that the american public is misled they are being big willed by the zionist llopis and their propaganda they are good people like all other people in the world they are believing believing in the right against the false i have witnessed
10:29 pm
certain demonstrations in our support in the united states even within the american the us congress even the have a so for presented to us. had adopted a resolution against the israeli illegal settlement in support of the palestinian rights. the democrats again is that it public and that's why i am saying that there are still on his men. men with conscience standing up for the just right principles again is the folds there are many and they are not states even do. joe wish you all are going to say since within the united states have conscience they said no this is not just this is not zeist this.
10:30 pm
many of the jewish come out again i stations also the european court of justice who had handed down the resolution against the products of the illegal settlement. and this means the us administration has fall forward in an traps and so was israel. we are also the international criminal court and when we became an observant member of the united nations this little tap passage. has enabled us to join $520.00 international organizations including the international criminal court however we have been suffering and
10:31 pm
suffering a lot even one month ago the united states has been fighting cause it. to. have channels with the international criminal court severed what is i.c.c. i.c.c. is entertaining cases of individuals and we have thousands of palestinian individuals who have been killed murdered forced of their homes therefore for farms their land use or been occupied those individuals are entitled to resort to i.c.c. to fire legal actions against israeli occupation and other israeli i guess in addition to other $120.00 international
10:32 pm
organization the last is city 7 plus china it means 135 states. which is now being under the presidency of palestine as an observer and observer member of the united nations now the international community then turn national public conscience. is been a way can we as an observer member state our now is the president the president. taking the presidency of the $77.00 plus block. this is some of the gains we have achieved however we will never fall to we will not relent until we have all our rights restored but this is an indication that the whole world has just started to realize
10:33 pm
our plight our problem and to realize our rights and stand by our side that's why we should continue holding state fast to our policies these policies are known to the whole world we are human beings we are not animals we are very human beings people 13000000 citizens half of this population is within the occupied territories and the other half and their spur. other states with a population of only 10000 people are full members why simply because they united states is standing on our way we approach the.
