happen. great to see you tonight day and thank you for that. we will be back tomorrow at 8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn in since your enemy as lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. sean hannity is next. good night. is the musical >> sean: welcome to "hannity" here we've begun with the fox news alert. we had big breaking news on multiple fronts. now senator lindsey graham will be here with a huge announcement tonight that he is planning to introduce and motion in the united states senate to condemn the so-called impeachment inquiry in the house. it is corrupt, it is unconstitutional. i have a very special message for the senator met romney tonight. you're not going to want to miss it. first, this is very important. we are going to break down tonight, in detail, something corrupt and dangerous to this democratic republic that we love. we will expose on this program the democratic top secret, the

soviet style impeachment coup attempt, and how it is an unprecedented, unconstitutional attempt to nullify the will of the american people. the whole process is more corrupt, lacking all due process, all constitutionality and constitutional protections. it is based on utter and complete nonsense, zero violation of any law by the president, all the president is really guilty of is faithfully executing the laws of this land and fulfilling his constitutional duties. we will explain and explore this partisan democrats attached from any objective truth. to be a democrat, you can believe in truth, reason, common sense. this is now a lawless mob. nothing that we are witnessing is driven by facts, logic, law, constitutionality, no. a psychotic rage and hatred at all things trump, even the mention of his name. these democrats, their allies,

the media mob, they are triggered by the mere sound of president trump's name. they are set often triggered by the sight of a red maggot hat on a 16-year-old innocent kid. what we are living through and witnessing is a level of madness as a country and we better stop or we are not going to have a country. in the latest effort to take this president down, the cowardly and corrupt adam schiff is holding secret hearings, secret meetings, that results in secrets transcripts, all hidden from the american people. the trump administration, the president's lawyers, this has never happened. ever. in any previous impeachment proceeding. now forget any and all constitutional due process, this is beyond the kangaroo court. i can and balloons believe it's happening in america. an attempted political coup. where you have the corrupt, cowardly, the shifty schiff making all the rules and he goes. new rules. rules that were never used in

the past. adam schiff is a habitual liar. we know that. and his white house counsel, brutal takedown, it is quote, designed and implemented, the inquiry in a manner that violates on fairness, constitutionality, and constitutionally mandated process. they have denied the president the right to cross-examine witnesses, to call witnesses, to receive transcripts of testimony, to have access to evidence, to have counsel present, and many other basic rights guaranteed to all americans. guaranteed to nixon, guaranteed to bill clinton. all of this violates the constitution and the rule of law and every past president. keep in mind, in the 90s, newt gingrich, who will join us tonight, modeled the impeachment proceeding against bill clinton after the way the democrats did it against richard nixon. totally the same way. it was a full vote in the house that authorized the proceedings. the scope was defined.

rules and procedures were publicly established. we got to see it. subpoena power granted to both parties. subpoenas were subject to a vote of the full committee. the president's council could attend all hearings and all depositions by the president's council had the right to present evidence, object to any evidence admitted, cross-examine witnesses, and recommend witnesses. now those with basic rights support of the bill clinton and richard nixon, not president trump. if you have the line, the cowardly, the corrupt b6, well, he has something very different in mind and at this hour the democrats illegitimate inquiry is becoming even more secretive. believe this or not. breaking tonight, democrats are literally blocking house republicans from even having a coffee, coffee, of the transcripts of the secret hearings they don't want you to watch. republicans wants to simply read a transcript, they have to have a democratic minder, a staffer, they beset them.

when talking about hearings that should be held in public. now hearings that my sources, by the way, are telling me, are blowing up in democrats face. there is so only a few months ago that they demanded the full, the unredacted mueller report. it all needs to be publicly available for all to see. well, that's now changed. everything now is in secret. take a look. >> we just need to see the words of the report. we need to see the work of the special counsel. >> it's important that the republic receives the report and he should not be allowed to edit or restrict or sanitize. >> the mueller report should indeed be made public. we need to see every bit of these underlying documents and of the full mueller report. we need every word of it to be a functioning democracy.

>> sean: a functioning democracy. okay. now democrats won't even hold a public vote? nothing is transparent. known transcripts, no hearing, no nothing, known rights for the president, no rights for republicans. no outrage from the media mob over the secrecy and how corrupt this impeachment coup attempt really is. none whatsoever. they are nothing, the mob and the media, but an extension of the democratic party. so, what does the cowardly, corrupt government adam schiff hiding? he's hiding a lot. sources tell me that the corrupt schiff star witnesses, they are not cooperating with this phony witch hunt and his narrative. one person brought in after another debunking the big lie about donald trump withholding funds to ukraine. democrats don't want these transcripts to become public because it will destroy this phony, corrupt narrative. instead, they want to control all of the information so they

can selectively leak that one sentence that they think helps them. editorialized testimonies to win public support against the president. now, if you see what is going on here, it is a con job, it is run by the biggest snake in the washington swamp, and that says a lot. that's another big reason for the secrecy. why? the cowardly, corrupt cottam adam schiff, he doesn't want toe exposed. he is a fact witness in this case in his own inquiry. he has no business -- this is a total conflict of interest. remember, his office was in contact with the nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower, though hearsay whistle-blower, before they ever filed the complaint that sparked the entire inquiry. schiff is on tape lying about that contact in a seedy communication. now, b6 doesn't want this individual to testify. why would that be? because then the so-called nonwhistle-blower would be forced to answer questions about the whistle-blower's

relationship with schiff's office. like, when did you start communicative with sixes his office question why did he advise you to get any attorney? do that attorney write any portion of the complaint? did he advise you to contact the ig? how did you get your third-party hearsay information? let's all remember one important fact. this is a secret investigation over a public transcripts. the irony is, we don't need a hearsay nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower. trump, much to their surprise, released the entire transcript. look at your screen. no quid pro quo, whatsoever. now where is the crime here? where? the saver, i need a favor. it has nothing to do with creepy sleepy, crazy, uncle joe biden, and nothing to do with a 2020 elections. biden was mentioned in passing later in the phone call but if you look at paragraphs that is

supposedly so pertinent, the president is clearly referring to ukrainian election interference in the 2016 election. look at what political outline, january 11, 2017, not members of the vast right-wing conspiracy. the country ukraine tried their best to get hillary clinton elected. ukrainian government officials try to help hillary clinton and undermined trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. they also disseminated documents implicating topic trump aiden and corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter only to back away after the election and they helped clinton's allies re-surface damaging information on trump and his advisors. this gets even better. the report goes on to detail a clear example of coming yes, ukrainian dnc collusion and ukrainian american operatives who was consulting for the democratic national committee, met with top officials and the ukrainian embassy in washington

in an effort to expose ties between trump, trump campaign, paul manafort, and russia. according to people with direct knowledge of the situation. now, hang on a second. we just spent three years, the media mob, democrats, breathlessly reporting, screaming about election interference and this is a big deal and we can have this in the country. okay. and they should all be thanking president trump for getting to the bottom of the dnc colluding with interference in the eighth 2016 elections to help hillary. by the way, it's important to remember one more thing about the president's phone call with ukraine. the president said, i would like you to do us a favor. okay. that's a statement paired okay, there were no strings attached. zero quid pro quo. doesn't exist. during the call, the government of ukraine had no idea the u.s. had temporarily delayed aid. they still got the aid. plus, the aide was never

attached to anything. nothing. and that's clear in the transcripts. especially related to sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe. especially related to the 2020 election. and let's be clear, do us a favor. well, we all have go to phrases. you know, i say, you know, a lot. the president uses them all the time. the verbal aside. i completed my point.ful favor taking it a beautiful discourse he planned to open in the great state of pennsylvania. >> jared was there, jason was there, i said fellows, do me a favor. >> you're doing us a favor. it's a great job you're doing. they called us and said could you possibly make it another day? we delayed it took a week so we did them a favor but they are doing us a favor but they are buying a lot of agricultural products. i said can you do me a favor? the remains of these great

fallen heroes, can we do something? he agreed to it immediately. >> sean: big leagues for the president. a recap and turned to me as a repair that's the phrase the president uses we've identified, hundreds of times. no conditions whatsoever. you can look at the transcript or the phone call. no quid pro quo. look at the transcript. no high crimes, no misdemeanor, no bribery. no treason. that doesn't matter to the left and their friends in the mob. they are obsessed with impeaching this president ever since the american people shot the world in 2016 and i hope you shock the world again in 2020. if they started with the word impeachment two days after election day. by the way, the nine month investigation into trump russia collusion, empty. the fbi investigation, nothing could house until investigation, no collisions. bipartisan senate investigation, 22 month mueller witch hunt, no collusion whatsoever. now we have this secret soviet style attempted impeachment coup

that is just the latest, pathetic attempt by people that never accepted the results of the 2016 election and want to influence the next election. meanwhile, there is evidence of quid pro quo right in plain sight. it has nothing to do with president trump, everything to do was sleepy creepy crazy joe and his son. by the way, he's not a kid. he's 49 years old. 2015, 14, bite and put charge of the administration ukraine policy. his son hunter thereafter got a lucrative millions of dollars very small holdings contract to be on the board of this massive ukrainian oil energy company owned by a ukrainian oligarch. hunter was being paid millions of dollars paid no experience in ukraine create energy. oil. gas. none. three smell wasn't paying for his experience. now, can you imagine if it was vice president trump and hunter was don jr.? what you think the media outreach would be?

it would lead the news cycle forever paid once again, well, here you have the last, nothing to do with truth, logic, basic common sense, or fairness. instead, they can't help that they want to take on this president that they hate but that they are terrified. guess what, the ultimate revenge is going to be you deciding to reelect him. their fears are warranted. let's look at the brand-new polls. president leads all of his democratic rivals and i head-to-head matchup. it except for elizabeth warren. i'm not sure if that's going to be the case. munis forecasting a whopping 351 electoral vote win for trump. good news? it won't mean anything if the democrats are able to weaponize the impeachment process. this is this country, and all hands on deck moment. it's because due process, in total secrecy, and democrats removing a sitting president from office or attempting, this

is not how this great republic operates. this is corruption at its finest, it is constitutionally lacking in all validity. and i don't care if you are a liberal, conservative, democrat, republican. if you care about truth and justice and due process, you will speak out about this corruption and abuse of power for joining us now, the ranking member house intel committee devin nunes, fox news contributor, sara carter. we will have newt gingrich on and we will have lindsey graham on tonight and the lindsey graham put out a fire a piece today about how corrupt this is and i am looking at the opposite of what newt gingrich did for bill clinton. he was afforded every opportunity that they are denying donald trump. it is an illegitimate, unconstitutional process to me. your thoughts? >> i was down there most of the day and this meeting with ambassador taylor and once

again, it was the same thing because something makes up to "the washington post," narratives are built. the truth is, in 2 minutes, john ratcliffe destroyed this witness. there is no quid pro quo. in addition, it continues to be alarming to me the lack of the understanding and the state department by the bureaucracy there about how much the ukrainians were involved opposing donald trump as a candidate. so just not understanding that the democrats had paid christopher steele for the dossier, which he got information according to nellie ohr, from the ukrainians, this is really frightening that people in the state department wouldn't have a clue, wouldn't understand -- why would a president send really giuliani to ukraine? perhaps because they dirtied him up and it would be his lawyer's responsibility to get over there to ukraine and figure out what the dirt is to try to defend his client which then was the president of the united states

going up against the mueller witch hunt, as you say. >> sean: i am being told by my sources that the reason they are doing this all behind closed doors, the opposite of what newt gingrich did for clinton, the opposite of nixon, is because every single witness has debunked this notion of a quid pro quo. now, you are the ranking member. you can't go see even a transcript without a democratic minder and you can't get copies but they have the copies? >> i've defined it as watching a slow motion crazy train that is going into impeachment fantasyland looking for the loch ness monster. they are at get more and more upset with these witnesses, even though these are all supposed to be their witnesses. remember, they are not allowing us to have any witnesses. and as you mentioned today, this whole idea that now we have to have minders looking over us to

review a transcript, that is unprecedented. one of my concerns now as i want to make sure we preserve the actual audio recordings of these witnesses. >> sean: are trying to get rid of the taste? >> tradition that has that republicans and democrats get the tapes and then get the transcripts. being that they are not giving us the transcripts for fear of leaking, i mean, you kidding any question mike these guys are the king of lakes. it's absolutely incredible. the links come out all day long every day to the all the mainstream media and the media knows it, the media knows the democrats are getting it from them, and you have the media just assembling outside that would be demanding to have these witch hunt's done in public if it was on the other side. >> sean: they wanted the whole mueller release but not this. you know, we've got to get to the issue, sara carter, and you can report on it. adam schiff is corrupt. he lied for two and a half

years. he's got all the evidence, all of it, and none of it has related to trump russia collusion. he's a fact witness in this case. he lied about his office and whatever the connection was to the so-called nonwhistle-blower. doesn't that -- isn't that a conflict of interest? isn't that corruption at a pretty high level and now he doesn't want any questions asked of that person? >> the obsolete right. this is something that a lot of people have been questioning, especially opponents in the republican party of adam schiff. we heard lindsey graham say this is completely insane. it's insanity. it's also very frightening because think about the spirit we have schiff, we have the democrats, we have them colluding with former obama officials that appeared, people like john brennan john brennan, james comey, who appeared to be consistently stalking president trump and everything he does and a phone call he makes and every time he

breathes, every time he walks or speaks to someone, and they try to change this strange narrative that there is a reason to impeach him. at first it was something else, it was russia. then they could find no evidence of that. now it's ukraine and now they're trying to go after him come then it was obstruction -- >> sean: that it was the sidewalk, then it was impeachment. >> exactly. it's anything that he does. so right now, there has to has to be common sense both in the house and in the senate and something actually really needs to be done and you're right, schiff is a fact witness and the tables need to turn on the gems and of the republicans really need to go on the offense. >> sean: inc. you both. when we come back, lindsey graham, a powerful letter, he will break it right here on "hannity," exclusively, next. ♪

>> sean: this is a fox news alert. senator lindsey graham tonight introducing a new resolution condemning the house of representatives, their closed-door, illegitimate, unconstitutional impeachment inquiry, he joins us now is more paid senator, i'm glad to see this happen. every republican that was there voted for it yet yesterday. democrat shut it down. never before has this happened in an impeachment inquiry. closed doors. they won't even let a republican read a transcript without a reminder, and god forbid they get a copy of it. >> yeah, so this resolution puts the senate on record condemning the house for the future of the presidency. we cannot allow future presidents and this president to be impeached based on an inquiry in the house that's never been voted upon that does not allow the president and the witness against him to call when it's on

his behalf and cross-examine people who are accusing him of misdeeds. all i'm asking is give donald trump the same rights as richard and richard nixon and bill clinton had when it comes to impeachment. i'm insisting that donald trump be given the same rights that any american has at when you're giving a parking ticket to confront the witnesses against you, can't be based on hearsay, and here's the point of resolution. any impeachment vote based on this process, to me, is illegitimate, is unconstitutional, and should be dismissed in senate without a trial. >> sean: okay. now. so let's walk through how do i get stunned at how do you dismiss it without a trial? all of what you are saying is true. new joint getting newt gingrich joins us in a minute. and he will explain every detail. you said the corner of america is duro students, due process, e accusations against you. none of that is happening in the

house of representatives and where are your fellow senators? i would like to see them sign your letter. >> it's going to be a resolution be it i would hope to have a vote on it. i hope -- it would be great to have 100. could you imagine if republicans were doing this to the democratic president? does opening by bill taylor today, everybody is breathless. here's the question. why does the president of ukraine deny there is a quid pro quo? what do you know that he doesn't know? why did the president of the ukraine's egg during the, i didn't know it was funded and the president of ukraine, the alleged victim, denies there is a quid pro quo, he didn't feel threatened by the president of the united states. that onlyin you. this process in the house is being conducted behind closed doors, republicans are being shut out, and if you had an inquiry vote, that allows republicans and a president to call witnesses and to confront people accusing the president of misdeeds.

that's what happened with clinton, that's what happened with nixon and andrew johnson. this is un-american at its corporate with the house of representatives is doing is a process, of political revenge. it is alien to american due process. it should be dismissed quickly in the united states senate so what would happen if they impeach the president based on this closed-door, behind-the-scenes, lack of due process, inquiry? we should dismiss it without a trial because it's illegitimate on its face and if it is allowed to stand, there is no protection for future presidents. >> sean: when the president says, and we went over this, when the president says can you do me a favor? we have identified hundreds of times that happens to be one of the president's transition phrases and we have the tape. can you do me a favor. many talks about the 2016 election interference of ukraine confirmed by politico, 2017, january.

it isn't also one of his constitutional duties, his sworn oath, to faithfully execute the laws of the land and i just heard everyone so upset about election interference and tromp and russia, i would think they would be on board wanting to help trump get to the truth but that's not the case, is it? >> not wanted democrat has suggested the president is treated unfairly when it violates every basic principle e process. we gave about $400 million here to the ukraine and in aid and here's the question. is the politico article accurate is? is somebody looking at the dnc involvement in 2016 as they looked at trond and russia? somebody needs to do that. so it's not on founded for the president to be concerned about ukraine interference and in our election if he believes the politico article but here's the point. we are talking about the impeachment of the president of the united states, destroying a mandate from the people, a political death sentence, and he is not entitled to know who is

accuses are. he can't call a witness on his behalf and he can't cross-examine those who are coming forward, and it's all done behind closed doors without public scrutiny bid this is illegitimate. >> sean: thank you, sir. i hope the rest of the senate follows you. when we come back, senator mitt romney, very vocal about president trump in the last few days. when we come back, i have a message for senator mitt romney in a mini model a good also, newt gingrich weighs in. he actually did allow due process that he gave to bill clinton. straight ahead. ♪ do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

president than obama if he had won in 2012. i don't know what's going on, mitt, but honestly, you are losing it, and to me, it's kind of sad to watch this. it's sad to see that frankly, it you are morphing into what is only a quintessential swamp, milquetoast, kind of week sanctimonious in washington swamp politician. very sad to see. now, this secret, creepy, twitter thingy that you used to go after the president's supporters, that's beyond my understanding. now i definitely understand. stylistically, you are polar opposites. donald trump likes to fight and is in the fight every second of every day. that's not you. it's not your personality. i understand that. but we all tried to support you. we back to 1000%. you lost in 2012. by the way, i and many others,

we all went in for you will, as did many other of trump supporter's. your friends that love you now, your media friends and all the democrats, they were the people that were calling you racist and sexist and misogynist over and over and over again. slandering your family. it was not me, it was not trump supporter's calling you all of those names. the people that are praising you now, they tried to destroy you and your family back then. your reputation. again, it wasn't me, it wasn't trump supporter's. i was all in. i want to do to win. the left is trying to destroy this president over nothing, mitch. nothing. why are you offering any support to them? did you read the transcript? by the way, we don't need a nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower hearsay whistle-blower. so one needs to ask, are you just jealous that the president is accomplishing everything, pretty much, you said, you wanted to accomplish. and senator, president trump is

cutting taxes, the biggest direct chelation in our lifetime, he is appointing originalist to the supreme cour. this will impact the country for generations but he's securing the border, he is supporting our second amendment rights, he is cutting all of these new trade deals that help americans, farmers, manufacturers, car companies, household median income, it's the highest it has been in history. at jobless claims are the lowest they have been since 1969. that was when i was eight years old. the economy now, conservative principles, firing on all cylinders. including a record low unemployment for african-americans, hispanic-americans, asian-americans, women in the workplace. we have a record number of americans employed. these are all things you supported when you were campaigning in 2012. now you say you don't like the president's style. i can accept that. i'm from new york but i also lived in rhode island, california, alabama, georgia.

i understand different states, different styles, and i grew up in long island. i understand you are created but at this particular point in time, if you want to entire change in this country, you have to win elections. trump, the fighter, won. mitt romney, nice guy, great family, slandered and smeared, lost. he lost of the people that called you every name in the book. now, i don't know what your motivation is here. i assume you are trying to may be, whatever, raise the level of discourse against these democrats that treated your family that way. now, if you want to join those who really would overthrow the selection, we have an election in 12 months. and implement medicare for all, no private insurance, $96 trillion green new deal, because in the end, that's who you are helping and why did you want the president's endorsement and why did he want to be secretary of state at one point? you had no problem embracing the success of president trump ahead

of your recent election. what changed? why are you now caving to the media month and the democrats that like to call you a racist and misogynist? i don't know, do you think they're going to like you now? or they just using you? so they can get their power back to implement their power and their policies that will probably destroy this country? with reaction, all through the brand-new book, trump versus china, facing america's greatest threat, fox news contributor newt gingrich, i am sincere with it i say this. i like mitt romney. i like his family. they were lovely. they were nice and they destroyed this man. they said everything to destroy him. now with everything that he said he is wanted in 2012, trump is delivering on. >> i would be more tolerant of mitt romney's concerns about trump if he was equally strong

in his condemnation of the house democrats. it's a little strange that he doesn't seem worried about chairman schiff was clearly corrupt, dishonest, and maybe even clearly. it he doesn't even seem worried about the way that nancy pelosi is cheating on the rules. he is in seem worried by the kind of star chamber, un-american model of secrecy but somehow, he every once in a while shows up and said something bad about trump and get some press coverage and i think that's sad. i think he is a smarter person than that, i think he has greater potential than that, and i'm not asking him to not say how he feels about president trump but i am asking him to maybe give us some balance and point out the things that are wrong with pelosi, schiff, the house democrats, so people understand, this is not all occurring in isolation. to me, that's the biggest disappointment. the other day when

senator ben sasse of nebraska described with the democrats are doing in the house as a circus clown show, i thought that was at the right level of condemnation and the right level of contempt and reinforces what senator lindsey graham wants to do in passing a resolution that says look, if you don't go to a reasonable american process, we are not going to take seriously whatever you pass. >> sean: mr. speaker, when you were the speaker and the impeachment issue of bill clinton came up, if i remember correctly, you had a whole house authorization of that inquiry that you allowed the full house at every critical step to define the scope, establish rules, establish procedures, you granted coequal subpoena power to the chair or ranking member at the committee level, you also required all subpoenas to be subject to the vote of the full committee at the request of the ranking member, you allowed the presidents council to attend all hearings, depositions, the president's counsel had the

right to present evidence, to object to admitting certain evidence, to cross-examine witnesses, and to recommend a witness list. am i wrong in any of those things? >> no. i think anybody who wants to see the truth can go to a book by a former congressman jim rogan called catching the fly. rogan was a young member of the judiciary committee when we were faced -- remember. we were forced to act by a report from the independent counsel with ken starr that says bill clinton was guilty on 11 counts and when i watched and looked at bob mueller's report, i waited for the word guilty and it didn't show up one time. so pelosi doesn't have any kind of core independent counsel with 11 counts of being guilty. we have looked at that and decided henry hyde and his chairman of the judiciary committee, we sent jim rogan up to new jersey to sit down with peter rodino, who had been the chairman of the democratic --

the democratic chairman of the impeachment committee under nixon, and he who walked rogan through how to do it so it was fair, it was open, it was worthy of the american people, it reinforced the constitution. we adopted every single rule that road you know used in 1973. it was so bipartisan that catbird, the democratic leader, held a joint press conference with me on a bipartisan basis to say that we were going to print the entire reports of the american people could see it. the opposite of the way that speaker pelosi has done this. it's doing all right. trump versus china facing america's greatest threat. book stores. hannity.com. amazon.com. and we have a full interview about the book on my website, hannity.com. mr. speaker, congratulations.

a male snuffer and told politico it was her estranged husband who was abusive and is now trying to humiliate her by making vindictive claims. separately, an arkansas woman now claims hunter biden is the father of her 14-month-old child. blood and publicly denied the child is his but the woman says he admitted to her that he was the father in private. hunter biden has now agreed to take a dna test to settle the matter. b1 trace gallagher. also remember that senior trump administration official wrote the anonymous op-ed that the media went nuts over for the fake news "new york times," well, the cowardly anti-trump or is writing a book and by the way, nobody knows who it is. they will go nuts with that. he with reaction, the author of a real book, "the new york times" best seller, exonerated, fox news contributor, dan bongino. fox news correspondent allies, geraldo rivera. let's just look at this whole mess. you know there would be a double standard.

you know if it was a conflicted republican running this impeachment witch hunt behind closed doors, needing minders for republicans even look a at e transcript, this is not -- you followed impeachment of clinton. newt gingrich did not do this to clinton. >> and nixon. and nixon. i remember how long had been around. no, the president is clearly being denied his constitutional due process. it is a kangaroo court. you know, instead of the president using racially charged analogies, he could have easily just said kangaroo court, cac and in kangaroo, it's adam schiff, it's clear of the president is being deprived of basic rights under the constitution of the united states. it's appalling. but on those stories that you mentioned tonight, i just want to say that hunter biden, he could have love children scattered all over the globe but of no interest to us. it's not like china, it's not like ukraine, it doesn't reflect on his father's time as

vice president. this is clearly a 49-year-old whose life is a mess in and out of rehab and all the rest of it. god bless him. i hope that everything goes okay for everybody and the child is raised happily and well but listen. hypocrisy rules. this book coming out, my goodness. you know how i feel about rats and snitches and vipers and back stabbers paid i didn't like the anonymous resistance fighter when it was just an op-ed piece. now it's a whole book. imagine if your president trump, you go to work in the west wing, and you see people and their heads are down on their desk and you think they are doing their job but what they are really doing is waiting for any vulnerability in the president, anything they can stage, anything they can tell to their friends of "the washington post" or "the new york times" or whatever media outlet is condemning the president that day. >> sean: and dan, the fact that nobody calls this out, the fact that this is allowed to go

on, led by a corrupt, conflicted, case witness, schiff, it's unbelievable to me. >> you. think about what happened today. bill taylor in this testimony which was supposed to be revelatory, well, what it really find out? the so-called quid pro quo for the military that taylor admitted that the ukrainians didn't even know the military it was held up until august. for the liberals watching, they have a tough time with dates and counters with chronology, the call was in july. that means it's a really bad attempt at extortion if you don't tell the people you are extorting them. another take away from this testimony today. taylor has admitted he didn't even see or read out in the call. so again, you, me, and her all the, we now have more information about the call then bill taylor did because he never even saw the transcript and keep in mind, this is also the guy who was answered in a text by gordon sondland that solomon had spoken to the president and said

let me be crystal clear. if there is no quid pro quo. it only to a liberal that does not mean there is a quid pro quo or a media type or that's the only translation a liberal understands of no quid pro quo, which is just bizarre. >> one note about katie hill, if i have a chance, be aware of information you get it from allegedly abusive ex-husbands being thrown out by the spouse. i would look very seriously into that. >> sean: i'm not getting involved in her life that i don't give a flying rip. but if it was a republican, it would be very different. we all know that's a fact. big difference. straight ahead. to power over 150,000 homes. and of course, fowler. at bp, we see possibilities everywhere. and of course, fowler. val, vern... i'm off to college and i'm not gonna be around...
