i'm hoping there will be a focus on that. ofi believe the candidates the health recognize care disparity that we have. >> i believe there should be a higher focus on climate change. affects where you live. i have noticed there is not an emphasis on america on climate change. debating if scientists actually are correct. we never question earthquakes, we never question hurricanes. we want to question climate change. the reason i believe for that is we don't see the immediate effect. this ino see more of the presidential election. the campaignm

trail, part of c-span's battleground states tour. ann coulter back at our table. we will start with impeachment. you said you were not going to watch. you did. guest: very remorseful. presidentou think the asked the ukraine leader to investigate joe biden and hunter biden? guest: i hope so. i hope it was quid pro quo. this discussion is make-believe. that is what foreign policy is. what was obama's iran deal? we will lift sanctions if you stop making nukes. look across time. state department bureaucrats seem to think they are the president. americans don't like that foreign aid is being given. the entire 2006 election is

america saying, that is enough of the middle east. can we have some me time? can we care about americans now? all we are hearing about his ukraine. that is what foreign aid is. we don't like it. they always come back and say it is not that much money. it is so important. we use it to put pressure on companies to clean up corruption. it is always a quid pro quo. that is why he is the president. host: is it ok for a president to ask for an investigation into his political rivals? this quid pro quo would be for his own personal gain? guest: it is so reaching. so reaching. it was biden, i would say that is kind of a conflict, biden on tape saying i would not give this guy a $1 billion check unless he fires the prosecutor, investigating the company paying my son. that is a personal interest. whether or not our former vice president was corrupt, along with a corrupt ukrainian

company, energy company, if there was corruption there, that is something america has an interest in. i do not know that we have an interest in calling off the prosecutor investing in a company hunter biden is associated with. host: it would have hurt hunter biden. guest: allegedly. that is why we have investigations. i love the new york times, msnbc -- no, that has been investigated, there was nothing wrong about that! i think it was yesterday, the entire state department didn't think it looks good, the entire joe biden's advisors saying you have to tell them to quit, you have to stop this. they keep trying to formulate answers. new york times explains yesterday, joe biden's aids were concerned . do you think they except that with donald trump? ok, we just won't bother with it. he can be corrupt. he was grieving. he was. it was a horrible thing. i am not making light of that. that doesn't answer the

question, was a corrupt? of course it was. our president as commander in chief should be asking for investigations. this quid pro quo nonsense, just like the stormy daniels thing pays $100,000ump to make these grifters and liars go away for making claims they had sex with him because the only reason he could possibly care about that isn't because of his grandkids, he doesn't want his wife to know, is it because it is humiliating generally, no, it is only because it would hurt him with voters. that is insane, crazy. american there was n interest in firing the prosecutor investigating the company paying hunter biden ill-gotten gains. ok. you have a mixed motive. it is a lot worse than that case, then it is with trump because, i mean, i don't think

biden is the strongest candidate um because biden might be running for office. if you don't get out of a criminal prosecution or corruption investigation because i am running for president. jeffrey epstein. running for president. you cannot investigate me federal government. host: what do you think about rudy giuliani's role? guest: i don't really care, in myfirst let me say, lifetime, i think in anyone's lifetime, alive today, government mostly does a lot of bad things. two things government has really made people's lives better. one was rudy giuliani cleaning up new york city and other cities following his lead. making that city livable again. now that they are releasing criminals again, the hipsters in brooklyn are about to find out what it used to be like in the 1980's. they are in for a big surprise. the change to new york city,

ronald reagan winning the cold war, defeating the soviet war machine, that changed everyone's life. think of anything, any government, basically single-handedly in both cases without those men, it would not have happened. it would not have happened. so yeah, i will never criticize rudy giuliani for anything, well, now that reagan is gone, perhaps the greatest living man, he is a good prosecutor investigating corruption. it also reminds me watching the hearings, that i swore i would not watch, we have got to get rid of the entire foreign service, ambassadors. this is not a new thought. i am not being petulant. why do we have the ambassadors? that used to take three months to sail from the united states to britain. we have a telephone now. we have the internet. other than being a payoff, they

get to live in the ambassadorship and they can help an american with a visa -- why do we have this band of foreign service agents? they warned us about 9/11, that would be one thing. they warned us about the shah falling and iraq invaded kuwait but go back and look at their track record. they said, saddam hussein, don't worry, he doesn't have weapons of mass destruction. their track record is zero. we are all pretending we don't have internet. if we are going to have ambassadors at all, they should be forced to wear the dusty wigs and just the way we did in the 1700s. host: ann coulter will take your questions and comments. (202)-748-8000 for democrats, (202)-748-8001 for republicans, (202)-748-8002 for independents. you say the president should not be impeached but you tweeted out, i give up, trump moscow.

-- trump must go. guest: that was in response to a senile tweet he had sent. i was in your greenroom advising the assistant to the democratic congressman you had on. this is how you go after trump. you guys are doing it wrong. the democrats -- they won't take my advice but it used to be a party that represented the working class. i mean, i think the republicans did a better job for the working class but be that as it may, that was what their, their claim to fame. we care about the workingmen, working woman. now it is the party of hollywood and wall street. politics, college campuses. the way they should go after trump is saying, you have not built one inch of new wall. immigration, doesn't make you are my life a lot worse, illegal

immigration, mass illegal immigration, yeah, fantastic, park avenue matrons can get there very cheap maids and nannies. who does it help the most economically? as bernie sanders used to know, the working class. their wages are being driven down, flat, flat, flat for 30 years. i care about my fellow americans. when trump ran, what happened to the forgotten man? what happened to that? that is how you go after him. no. new york times. what are yourats, doing with this open border stuff? just because trump is for it, you don't have to be the antonym of whatever he says. he is totally right. president trump should come out against pederasts. host: what did president trump tweet yesterday? guest: he said, accurately,

there is a case before the supreme court now. how this ended up with the court, president has also given up all the prerogative of the presidency. there are certain things like foreign policy and emigration is a part of that that are pretty much 100% the prerogative of the president of the u.s., commander-in-chief. you don't have district court judges stepping in. anyway. constitutional law scholar, not saying that sarcastically, president obama spent 6.5 years telling illegal aliens allegedly brought here as children that he had no authority. he explained our government works in congress has to pass a bill and whoa there has been a lot of amnesty. they can pass amnesty. the president cannot just announce this can come from congress. for six years, the president, barack obama, says i cannot

single-handedly grant you embassy. toward the end of the administration, he said, i think i will grant you all amnesty. he starts issuing work permits to this class of illegal aliens, many of whom, many, um,, yeah, thousands have been arrested for committing felonies, grants them amnesty. it is an unconstitutional executive order. one executive order can overturn another. trump promised to sign an executive order overturning the amnesty for dreamers. remember, he had beautiful lines on the campaign trail. if only he would go back to campaign trump. used to say, i care about american dreamers. that is what americans wanted to hear. he tweet out this case before the supreme court, overturn unconstitutional executive order under the exact same procedure and he says, a lot of these dreamers aren't angels, many of them are criminals but if the

supreme court upholds my executive order, i will work out a deal with the democrats to keep them here. wait a second. you just said they are not angels. they are legal. let's pretend we were all in a coma for 2016 when you said you would deport them so fast our heads would spin. the last line. i will work out a deal? explain what that means! my tweet was, fine, that is it, i quit, they can stay, you have to go. host: the hardened criminals part of the tweet. neither the white house nor the campaign provided comment. immigration services, reviewing applicants sent politico data on terminations. none of the data shows immigrants with significant offenses are enjoying daca protection. guest: that is an absolute lie. politico fact is an arm of the

democratic party. this is a government zone figure. i don't know what they are going by. in order to qualify as a dreamer, they have all these, as with everything involving immigration, the important thing is keep dumping more nannies on the country because wall street needs them, their hampton estates do not clean themselves. that is the important thing. they have these fake loopholes we have heard about, told about ct --places like politifa the new york times wrote about it, they have had seven years to figure out what is in dreamer requirements. to have a, you have high school degree. no you don't. you have to apply to a high equivalency an

degree, apply, show you have applied to a trade school. that is not the same thing as having a high school degree. you can be convicted of a crime. just no more than three misdemeanors or one felony. host: eric, glen bernie, maryland, democrat. caller: thank you for c-span. sayingement is she keeps that biden was withholding prosecutor was a going to investigate paris step. -- burista. in reality, he was not going to investigate burista. joe biden wanted them to. for her to keep saying, republicans keep saying it, it

doesn't make it true. guest: that was the previous prosecutor. wrong. ct on that.a as they say on law and order, that is a question of fact for the jury to decide. there is a personal benefit. the former vice president, if true, no you cannot do that because he is running for president. that is madness. host: connie, illinois, republican. caller: yes, i am glad to hear ann talk about the forgotten people. oure, donald trump is martin luther king jr.. martin luther king jr. tried to bring blacks and whites together. donald trump is trying to bring

americans together, no matter what your color is. you can be native american like me, anything. he doesn't consider me native american. he considers me in american -- an american. as far as impeachment goes, the first guys that testified, when jim jordan asked them, it wasn't jim jordan, it was the other guy what is the impeachable here? him and stared at him. host: ok, connie. guest: great point. somethingetorically, stylistically about trump that sometimes seem less than

presidential. come on. it is fun. we all have a good time. i totally agree with connie. this is why i was introducing trump at rallies weeks after he announced, when all the people now pretending he is building the wall, denouncing him for the next 10 months, no, i love that about trump. i think that is the way for both political parties to go. we are all americans. to care about the forgotten americans. him, ison i am needling i want him to keep his promises and as for the impeachable offense business, i'm sorry. the democrats are making a huge mistake here. i know they will not take my vice. i knew this would happen when they took the house. they would spend years on stupid investigations. are they getting anything done? infrastructure bill? doing anything for the forgotten

or remembered americans? start passing bills we agree on. everyone wants an infrastructure bill. chuck schumer wants one. trump wants one. why can't we get that? that is a lot of good paying jobs. the first infrastructure i would build is a wall along the border. i don't know if anyone has mentioned that. host: last year you got in a screaming match with the president. guest: i never breathe a word to anyone but it did come out a month later. it was about the same things i say on twitter. march, march or april, 2017. host: it was about immigration? guest: everything i'm am saying right here right now. i have said it before. good thing i do not lie. same thing i say publicly all the time. you're not keeping your promises.

he has not done anything on nafta, china. judges are great. ok. judges are better than either reagan or bush. i will give him credit. why doesn't he turn over immigration to people who knows what they are doing? he turns it over to the rnc with the autopsy report, let's forget about the americans already here and just go pedal to the metal to do amnesty dreamers. remember that? after romney lost? republicans who love their country are terrified. the rnc will be the end of us. all they care about is donors, the chamber of commerce and the coke brothers. that is not all they care about. -- koch brothers. that is all they care about. donors have way too much power over both parties. host: what was president trump saying to you and that screaming match? guest: i do not like to tell tales out of school but the one

funny thing i think he would like people to know was -- [laughter] the one moment he got most upset was when i said, you are no different than jeff! michigan,urg, independence. caller: good morning, everybody. thank you for letting me comment . the democrats are crying for president trump's head. i don't like republicans or democrats. they are all a bunch of liars. the hypocrisy is, why are they crying for sanders had? willid on public tv, i withhold aid to the israelis if they don't do what i want them to do and talk with the palestinians. country,nn, tell the what is the difference? guest: absolutely right. we are all pretending, we have a lobotomy and forgot all foreign policy until this moment. just for fun, i did a search if

you weeks ago -- a few weeks ago, foreign aid in the same sentence as conditions. foreign aid usually comes with strings, usually corruption. most americans want to wash on washingtono march on with pitchforks. i am not sure it is particularly useful. to the extent it is useful, the only point is we will give you this aid or in the case of the brilliant john kerry negotiated wanted,l that obama that was for his, i'm talking like a democrat now, that was for his fame and glory. that was a personal interest so he could have something to the obama presidency other than i wrecked health care. no, that is what foreign policy is. we do this for you, you do this

for us. usually something that does not particularly benefit us at all but generally helps the world by cleaning up corruption. host: bedford, ohio, democratic caller. caller: hello. i have heard a lot about your and ins and other things am very careful to make sure it is factual information. paul i have heard is your opinion -- all i have heard is your opinion. this is about the impeachment inquiry. i would like to hear something based on facts and not criticism about those no longer in office. thank you. host: ok. fact. iran deal is a the trade-off for, we will lift economic sanctions and in exchange for that you dismantle your nuclear reactors and heavy water filters.

that is what foreign policy is. it is a fact, over and over again, foreign policy, foreign aid is tied to conditions. i suppose you could run the nexus search yourself, both hillary clinton and state department officials. it is a fact, to qualify for daca you don't have to have a high school degree. you have to have applied to a high school, trade school or equivalency degree. it is a fact you can have misdemeanor convictions. you cannot have a serious felony conviction. i suspect, i mean, i don't know as i have said many times, whenever the subject of immigration, there is always a lie. it is always one of those puzzles. you have to figure out what the light is. i'm not sure what the lie is. my guess is you cannot have a felony on the record when you apply and are accepted. all of these dreamers applied or

excepted and went on to commit rapes, murders and other felonies. host: all of them? guest: no, no. there are about 50 that have committed serious crimes like rape, assault or murder. there are at least 2000 that have been arrested for crimes. the point with the dreamers is, dreamers, boy, he who controls the language controls the discourse, these are people who were brought to our country illegally. i am sorry. it sucks to have a parent who was a criminal. it may not be your fault, assuming it was true, and how are we going to prove when they were brought here? they were in the shadows. anyone can claim it, as i wrote in my book, adios america, with admission after the fact, in the agricultural adjustment amnesty, in the 1986 amnesty under accepted,% of the

accepted applicants were fraudulent. the idea was, these hard-working farmworkers have been picking our crops. it is so unfair. let's grant them amnesty. they are such hard workers. they were applying from places, some of the terrorists to the world trade center got in on the agricultural amnesty after driving a cab in new york, people working for the government saying these applications written about this, they would say cotton is purple. you pick cherries from the ground. they were obviously fraudulent. they were accepted. how much harder is it to prove when someone came here and started living in the shadows versus have you ever worked on a farm in the u.s.? something like 800,000 were admitted. 90% of them are fraudulent. prove you, how do you were brought here as a child? who cares?

either immigration is good for americans or not good for americans. we have been dumping so many foreign cultures on this country, in order to save the people already here, in order to keep the lifeboat from sinking, we need a moratorium. that is something we thought we were getting. with donald trump no, instead, the rate of illegal immigration has gone up under trump. it has gone up. i care about my fellow americans. i care about this wonderful culture. prosper,essful, more better for the working and middle-class than any other culture in the world, that is why they want to come here. we need to put a brake on it now. that is what people were voting for more than anything else. that is why trump could shoot someone on fifth avenue. that is why some of us are after him for not following through. if the democrats want to beat them, that is what they go after. host: the supreme court heard

oral arguments in the case and coulter is referencing on tuesday. we will air them tonight on c-span two. in.house is gambling caller: you went through a lot of things. danielsay, with stormy -- in januaryw 2019 washington post had an article about her giving a signed legal statement saying she never had the affair with trump. [laughter] --t thing with ukraine host: i apologize but the house is in. guest: no one cares about ukraine.

build the wall. everything you heard in the last half-hour is so much more interesting. host: the house is coming in. c-span two is where you can find our coverage of the impeachment inquiry with the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine.

people tend to be more helpful to a woman central command. they can also try to take advantage of you in various ways. generally, my experience has been that if they are not going orlike something about you

going to mistrust something about you, it's not going to be because you are a woman it's because you are an american area. ♪ >> c-span washington journal live every day with news and policy issues that affect you. coming up sunday morning, indivisible cofounder discusses efforts supporting the impeachment of president trump and campaign 2020. conservative commentator and nationally syndicated radio talk show host talks about his efforts to promote free speech. be sure to watch washington 7:00 easternat sunday morning. join the discussion. >> mark zandi a senior career official at the office of management and budget arrived to testify behind closed doors behind the house intelligence
