what are you going to impeach him again in the second term. this is an exercise for democrats. we all know is just about region power. are you concerned impeachment might actually help the president reelection. >> i'm concerned that if we don't have impeaching this

president he will get reelected. >> it out of your system and maybe we can regroup later. that is what americans want. full show, 66%, democrats who work with donald trump to solve the nation's problems rather than impeachment. they do not care, they totally lost it. how did impeachment workout in the '90s? congress had felonies on clinton. impeachment fell in the senate and they went to the roof. let's look at the facts, what's the crime, democrats cannot explain it. trump's the president of the united states, he has every right to know what is going on, everywhere in the world because of responsibility. if there is misconduct by high-ranking americans, joe biden, his son or anyone in a foreign country, he needs to know what happens. biden and his son are not above the law. they can do shady things overseas and donald trump cannot find out about it. because he might run against them. give me a break. there is actually a treaty that says the american president with

crime occur under corruption. it was signed by bill clinton. i have the whole thing right here, go to my twitter page and read it for yourself. there is no quid pro quo. read the transcript online. this week they realized that there was no quid pro quo. adam schiff made it up. >> i'm going to say the seven times so you better listen good. i want you to make up dirt, political opponent and by the way don't call me again, i'll call you when you done what you've asked. this is some in character with the president was trying to communicate. >> that was all fake, he omitted it leader. but they have to set this up to sell it. now this is a quid pro quo. >> we are in equity giving the billion dollars, they said you're not the president, i said call him. [laughter] i said you not getting the million dollars.

, and i think it was the sixth hour and i said if the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money. [bleep] >> he threatened to withhold money from an ally they did not fire the prosecutor investigating his sons property. we should call him quid pro quo joe. he is also asking ukraine of how this all started, the ukrainians would gps in the d&c, they were caught working together to get dirt on trump and his campaign. so democrats manufactured a crime another train to manufacture cover-up. trump released a transcript of the call and expand on television and even as national intelligence structure testified all in one week, between bad cover-up. maybe they should have acid washed everything like hillary. there is no crime, no quid pro quo, no cover-up.

everything democrats are accusing trump of, they did. the collusion, threats, collusion, getting rich off the family connection, it's not like trump and listed foreign agents to spy on his political opponent to influence election, but wait, that's what obama, biden and hillary did. no one expects trump to lay down and take it, they can smear, sue him and investigate him, fire and collude against him, but until he fights back, they call that high crime. but, here is the real story, the intelligence community data control, they even have to get trump for the jump, the witch-hunt failed so this is part two. the new york times reports the whistleblower cia but read his report, he didn't have the loan, it's a sophisticated inside job like last time, leaks, fac fakes

and sabotage. the very same playbook they used before. when the russia hoax failed. so he had bill barr investigate the investigators. here it is, the intel guys know there plots about to be exposed to the trying to destroy trump before he destroys them. that is why bill barr is named in the complaint. they have to discredit him before his report comes out. and forced him true refuse whether added. this is war, and it is going to get ugly. but america, here's the deal, the truth always prevails in the people have the power. so sit back and enjoy the show but don't let anybody steal your vote. here with white house reaction, kellyanne conway. how are you feeling over there? >> everything is fine as you know, in this president is the most battle tested individual that i've ever met. those that continue to underestimate him and impugn him all the way to impeachment are

going to be on the losing side. do us all a favor and never again use the word adam schiff. [laughter] >> i'm sorry. >> speaking of adam schiff let's talk about the chairman as oxymoron. on march 25 i called for his resignation because he is promised in the days leading up to the mother report that is bigger than watergate, there's evidence of collusion everywhere, it will be huge, we will impeach the president, and that was a big lie. the next day, days later there were nine republicans who serve on the intelligence committee calls for him to step down as chairman because they lost impartiality. so what are they due six month later, he invents a story, a conversation between our president, his president and the ukrainian president and says it on the floor the house, on national tv, his favorite place to be.

and now you have republicans saying he should be center because of the dignity of the office. >> you don't have to do that kellyanne. >> the transcript of the actual call, they have to invent a new version of the call. -- >> are americans going to go online and read the four page transcript? >> i actually think they will in this case because it's pretty unprecedented that a president would declassify a conversation with a foreign leader -- >> do you think he should've declassify that, do you think the added momentum to prov the impeachment? and just let them spin their wheels? >> they could have and of course the angry mob is never satisfied. the president did not do this to satisfy him, he did it to show what the process was. >> do you think that will her his conversation with leaders in

the future? >> no i do not. and in this case secretary pompeo had alerted the ukrainian president that the call, transcript may be released and we had an official ukrainian government saying there was no pressure in the president said this was a perfect call, ukrainian president said of the united nations general assembly that he felt no pressure. and as you read what's there, you see what is not there, no quid pro quo, no mention of aid or the 2020 election, no mention of the political opponent. it is the ukrainian president that is complaining about the lack of aid that he gets from france, germany, and it's on very little coverage. he said i wish they would be stronger on the sanctions and the implied version that this president is strong on sanctions in russia. >> he's the only one they gave military aid to ukrainian.

-- >> two things would not have happened, adam schiff two is no credibility in making him the belle of the ball after he liked to this country for three straight years about collusion, russia evidence, how to concoct fictitious story, joseph mcguire, the acting head of dni who is been in the navy since 1974, a public server beyond approach, if they had something they would not have to concoct a story. >> nancy pelosi did the worst thing a character can ever do. she changed her mind in the matter of hours and she let the angry mob to get her off a considered deliberate process of one thing, i want to legislate, investigate and then litigate instead she is now equivocate and she changed her mind at 1:0y afternoon. she said no impeachment and at

4:00 o'clock -- >> now it's like the things out of the station, the impeach in the house and the senate will do nothing about it because they don't have the votes and they think it's ridiculous. >> what does that do to the country? >> are you guys prepared to fight this battle? >> it's about to get nasty. here's what it does to the country, the essential question, americans, wake up. they work for you, that is your money funding the government in the way congress spends its time on impeachment of the president on denouncing the tweet a couple months ago or the nonsense, no infrastructure, no drug pricing, no fixing tv purée, no fixing flores, no fixing the border, no keeping the economy humming along, no helping the 28 million americans, none of it. -- >> they are not getting nothing done for the iraqi people. >> it is just another season, a sequel of the adam schiff show. >> i thought we are not allowed to see that name anymore?

>> i want to remind everybody about jerry nadler and what he said about impeachment in the 1990s. >> impeachment of a president is in undoing of a national election in one of the reasons we all feel so angry about what they're doing is they're ripping from us, they are telling us that our votes don't count. and that the election must be set aside. >> he certainly looks better than he did in 1998. the point is, he's exactly right, and undemocratic move before an election, if these people were in a strong position they would've said will take care of it next november, let's not put the country through this. >> they actually thought they could beat donald trump next

year, they would not even bother, they would put all their energy behind one of the candidates but they're not sure they can do that because they cannot just fight against donald trump, they have to run against the trump economy. the trump deregulation, and were a net exporter of doyl oil and natural gas. trump's 150 federal judges and county. >> they cannot do that. so i want to say something else, people may not know what a rainbow push coalition was. it was a jesse jackson group, it makes it more delicious, there's jerry nadler 20 years ago and speaking on behalf of the rainbow push coalition of the jesse jackson group, people can look that up in there saying it's undemocratic. i think the joe biden is important because hunter biden had no appreciable skil skill s. maybe hunter biden is violating law, that's not the point, adam schiff had the lack of guts to refer to donald trump -- what

about the city vic sitting vice president. >> the media does not cover or record on it and no double standard. in the public season because they watch fox and read up on it online. >> it is going to be hell on earth for the next couple of month. >> people were talking about impeachment before they were inaugurated. -- >> they were looking for an excuse the whole time. >> they finally think they haven't but nancy pelosi did this, she did not do it with them will the report, she turned around and seen the transcript and she equivocated -- >> you know who is in a strong position now, philadelphia eagles. they are 2 - 2. they are looking good.
