sean hannity. the 9:00 p.m. hour and the impeachment progress. >> sean: you just said unfortunately, we'll be back tomorrow. the 8:00 p.m. hour. we are out of time. you actually said those words. we are out of time. are you kidding? >> sean: thank you. welcome to hannity. buckle up. we start with great news. the repulsive disgusting schiff show circus is over. finally, we see the light at the end of the tunnel. at this hour, very good sources are telling me that the schumer-schiff sham show is circling the drain. can't come soon enough. it appears senate majority sleader, mcconnell, now has the votes to block further witnesses and this whole pointless charade could be wrapped up friday or saturday of this week. earlier today, colorado senator, cory gardner announced that he didn't need to hear from an 18th

witness to render a verdict. john bolton is now officially out of the equation being needed as a witness. i'll explain in a minute. to be honest, it could come from the other side of the aisle. there is no high anxiety inside the democratic party. foxnews.com reporting any future any agreement would be subject to a a package deal. in other words, we will tell you why that's no longer necessary in a minute. so will two key members of, let's say the biden syndicate, quid pro quo joe, zero experience hunter. as we have documented so many times at a bare minimum is a serious appearance of impropriety. we went through all the laws that well, seem to fit in this case. with the bidens all felonies. the president, remember, has a

sworn constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws of this land and that's why he was rightly concerned, not only about ukraine enter election interference apart from a russian interference, which devin nunes warned about. he is also rightly concerned about quid pro quo joe and not concerned about elizabeth warren or bernie sanders, who happens to be leading in both iowa and new hampshire. let me sum it up for you one more time. this thing is over. it's finished. everything else will be a near formality. now, we know how this will end. the president will be acquitted, and thankfully, in 279 days, we will have an election in this country. as a matter of fact, we have heard from what the democrats thought would be there latest star witness. moments ago, the presidentd tweeted out these words, "game over." along with the words, he sent out a video.

2019, john bolton, praising the president's phone call. yes, the one in question, with ukraine. clet's take a look. >> i will be meeting zelinsky. he and president trump have already spoken twice. the president called to congratulate president zelinsky on his election and his success in the parliamentary election. they were very warm and cordial calls. we will hope that they will be able to meet in warsaw. and have a few minutes together because the success of ukraine maintaining its freedom, its system of representative government, free market economy free of a corruption are high priorities here, obviously, baha'i priorities for the united states as well. >> sean: sounds almost verbatim. the president's description of the call and what we all read with this transcript. did you hear any dire warnings about misconduct or abuse of power? did you hear any complaints all?

the answer is no. now, that my brings me to mitt romney tonight. i thought that he would have been the better candidate and i think we were proven right, if he won his election in 2012. i defended him. they called him a misogynist. they accused him of abusing animals and even cutting some kid's hair. mitt romney said earlier in the week, he would likely want to hear from john bolton. well, we have not heard everything we need to hear from john bolton in his own words and even if the president privately haid that he wanted ukraine to do a or b or c for the aid, here are four facts that he reminds us every time. they will never change. no linkage between aid and investigations during the phone call. aid was never mentioned during the phone call, but the usual corruption was brought up.

the president was clearly concerned. it was top of mind. we know president zelenksy and president trump and zelinsky have denied pressure in any shape, matter, and form. no one in ukraine even knew there was a temporary pause on aid at the time of the call or long after the call, and u ukraine, here's the important part, did they do anything? did they take any action? did they get the aid released? none. zero. nothing. did they announce they would do something? nothing. they announce to nothing never, ever and they still got the money. so, even if the president bought it, even if he said it, may be thinking about it, it doesn't matter.ve it's what he did. senator romney, i say to you tonight, it is time for you to put aside what is clearly a personal disdain, dislike for the president, and you need to do this for the sake of the country, and frankly for your sworn duties of the constitution of the united states. now, forget about your opinions about the president. they are irrelevant.

you need that document right there. you need to think about your constitutional role and duty as a senator. remember, the house and the constitution has the sole power to impeach the president. now, they presented their pathetic weak case. okay, now you are asking 16 hours worth of questions. your duty as the sole role of the senate is to render a verdict. examine the evidence. now, you just heard from john bolton. keep in mind, senator romney, i know you represent the great state of utah. take a lookat at this survey put together by, he is one of the few people. i've known matt s since the newt gingrich polling years. it's on video.i' i've got a copy. donald trump was going to win. not many posters were saying this part 68%. he did a poll of utah. they want president s trump acquitted. 64% oppose additional witnesses. 60% would be less likely to support you if you voted to keep

the charade going on call witnesses. by the way, think about all those democrats that are asking you to trust them. think about who is begging for witnesses. there he is. the compromised, in this particular case, corrupt, and we all know, congenital liar by the name of adam schiff. how could anyone in good what isce ever truste merely a pretty despicable sociopath? his hands have been on fire for three consecutive years. he lied about russia, collusion, fisa, he lied about the fisa application and the ukraine phone call. he lied about the whistle-blower. and he even lied more today. in fact, we caught him red-handed today lying about the transcript between the president, president trump and president zelenksy. take a look. >> i want you to do me a favor, though. i want you to do an

investigation of mitt romney. do any of us have any question that barack obama would be impeached for that kind of misconduct? that's a parallel here. >> sean: and he lied in his report to the american people. now, we know, because of the inspector general report, that he lied and congressman devin nunes told the truth. the bulk of the information was the dirty unverifiable dossier that hillary paid for. the only american we know on tape, thinking he's talking to a dirtan, colluding to get on donald trump to use an election. would you have? compromising materials. really? what are they? pictures of trump. did vladimir see them? can we have them? that would be adam schiff. now, the president didn't say, by the way, in the transcript, even though, yeah, schiff had to make that up too appeared he didn't say, do me a favor. he said, do us a favor. he said, in relation to the united d states, and of course,e have the ukrainian court.

and politico. they both determined that there was election interference to help hillary clinton. they said it. by the way, interference that we were all worked up about for three long years. it takes 22 minutes to read it. naturally, that was only one of many lives today from the congenital liar. now, this is pretty amazing. one truly bizarre example from earlier today, yep, the congenital liar, schiff, actually doubled down on a lie that has previously earned him four pinocchio's from the liberal "washington post". for a democrat, that's hard to get. despite the mountain of evidence that he communicated with the fake whistle-blower, well, congenital liar still claiming he had no idea with the person is. do you believer, him? he is contradicted, back and forth and back again. take a look. >> first of all, i don't know whoo the whistle-blower is. i haven't met them or communicated with them in any

way. thee conspiracy theory, which i think was outlined earlier, that the whistle-blower concluded with the intel committee staff to hatch an impeachment inquiry is a complete and total fiction. >> sean: he first said that. then, he said, yeah, there wasom contact with my office. and the whistle-blower. now, he saying it didn't happen. a complete and total fiction when even the liberal "washington post" will give a democrat four pinocchio's, because he's lying. if the congenital liar is not going to hide, then why did he refuse to call the hearsay whistle-blower in for testimony, which he originally promised to do? why did he admit there was contact with his staff, with the whistle-blower? and this was a witch hunt that has been led totally completely by him, a deranged liar, and all his fellow democrats that hate trump every second, every minute, every hour of every day. is nothing legitimate about the charade. there never has been. you've got schiff.

his top investigation. witness addition, that was a farce. zero due process. the accusations are untrue. today, the president's legal team beat the living over the democrats. and they made a compelling case what should now happen in short order. that would be acquittal. let's take a look. >> his words would be wrong if the fbi or the department of justice was starting a political investigation of someone's political opponent. i'm thinking to myself, but isn't that exam who would happen? multiple witnesses who were called in the house by the house democrats testified that the united states policy towards ukraine got stronger under the trump administration, in part, largely because of that lethal aid.

>> the issue is not whether a crime was. the answer from the history is clearly unequivocally no. >> sean: by the way, the question and answer period were continuing to monitor. we will put it up on the side of your screen here you can take a look and if anything compelling comes up, we will bring it to live while the president's team puts forward a serious case. top democrats continueo to play their political games. by the way, this is all they have done for three years. not a single thing for the we the people. they are supposed to be public servants. pelosi's friend, chuck schumer. he took a million dollars from russia and tried to hide it, another violation. he actually invited lev parnas

as a special guest and lev parnas with wild allegations against trump. schumer is out on bail for the violations of financing and trying to hide the billion dollar payment from of all countries, russia. he couldn't get in, because he's wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. this is their star witness. adam schiff says, believe him, but adam hunter did nothing. you can't make this up, but it is so sad because it is our country. they are hurting the country and they have been for years. take a look. >> his lawyer called us up and asked for tickets like many new york constituents. iaw said, you can get tickets. we give them out to the new yorkers who have asked. i'm not sure he would be allowed in because of the electronics around his ankle. >> sean: many well-indicted new yorkers with ankle bracelets, they all want to go. you know the democrats and their bffs, and the mob and the media, they are all playing

these political games. just like brett kavanaugh 2.0. i guess they think we the american people are stupid. they clearly don't like the way we vote. they seem to hate our way of life.m they seem to hate our values. they seem to hate our choice foree president. we've been called deplorable smelly walmart shopping jumpers. they think it's a bad thing that we are angry and that we are bitter and we cling to god. okay, i'm guilty. i want to cling to god, our constitution, our bibles, and i believe in my faith. i do. i'm guilty. i believe in god. yep. okay. guilty. perfect encapsulation. this is a tale now of two americans. on the one side, yeah, nothing but 24/7 eight, come pushing nothing, never ending conspiracy theories, hoaxes, lies, witch hunts. c on the other side, you've got a president, keeping every promise he is made, a successful agenda, unprecedented successs

economically and foreign policy, real tangible results. we put together a video that perfectly exemplifies thisal critical moment in time. to americans, this will be up for grabs in 279 days. you will be the ultimate jury and you can to shock the world again. take a look. >> y we have created 7 million w jobs. the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any previous administration , listen to this one, in united states history. >> trump is the smart one. [laughter] >> are you an elitist with your geography and your maps? >> we will replace the nafta nightmare one of the worst trade deals american history. >> if you vote for trump, you are the badhe guy. >> we also signed a fantastic new trade agreement with china. >> they will follow him to or

wherever he's going. >> they don't care about the facts. they don't know about the facts. >> we have fully rebuilt the united states military. >> you could put half of trump supporter's into what i call the basket of deplorables. >> america is winning again and america is thriving again like never before.ri >> let's see, we can add to that, yep, the number one state-sponsored terror, their leader, soleimani, dead. record low unemployment since 1969. african-americans, asian-americans, hispanic-americans, women in the workplace, youth and implement, african-american youth unemployment.-a wow. we are at a critical point. 279 days. you have an opportunity to shock the establishment world again. make no mistake. a lot on the line. here and now with more, fox news contributor, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich.

mr. speaker, i think that's everything we need to hear from john bolton per yourerne reaction. >> i think first of all, they are going down a total dead alley, because the president is going to impose executive privilege that would have to go to court. they want to drag this out another month ago, they have an opportunity to do it, but the country is already opposed to dragging it out. the country said it is over. david axelrod, who was a key person to barack obama, had a recent column that said he sat through a focus group of democrats in chicago and it was 80 minutes, 80 minutes before sf any of them mentioned the impeachment, at which point everyone in the group said that's over, it's not going to happen, i don't want to talk about it. i said, democrats need to understand, this is not working. the democrats ought to be voting have no more witnesses. the democrats, frankly, want to vote to close it down tomorrow.

every day this goes on, the democrats look smaller, more political, more destructive of america, and i think that there is no reason to have any more witnesses, because there's no case. literally, there is no case here. >>re sean: you know, jay sekulow said, they were witnesses that had eitheray been interviewed by deposition in the house proceedings, jury proceedings, and it was specifically, you know, those three people. new witnesses were not being called. why would any republican in the senate want to break that precedent. >> i don't think there's any real reason to have any new people come in. that violates the whole point. this is not an inquiry into what happened in ukraine. this is an impeachment trial. in an impeachment trial, there's

a very simple question. are the allegations rising to the level that you would deprive the american people of the person they elected as president? now, i don't think a single one of the republicanspe believes tt donald trump is going to be convicted, so i think it is an absolute game for any of them to vote yes to have more witnesses, because the witnesses aren't going to change anything. this is not w an impeachable offense. we have a very good way ofof solving it. it's called an election, as you pointed out, and 279 days, the real jury, the american people, who get to decide. my hunch is that we are going to reelect trumpmp by an amazing margin. but what schiff said the other day it was very chilling. he said, we can't let this up to the voters. he is such an arrogant elitist, he thinks he is more important then the american people. that's what is at stake here. i would hope that after they think about it, that not at

single republican will have any more witnesses. >> sean: schiff actually said today, not all quid quo pros are the same. nobody is as bad as joe, i would add. you've got some corrupt. for one, you can ask john bolton. you don't have to be a mind reader. i want to replay what bolton saidsa about the president's conversation t with president zelinsky. sounds just like the way donald trump described him. warm, cordial, and they were congratulatory. he and theey president spoke twice. let me play this tape, because i think this is all we need to hear from john bolton. >> i will be meeting president zelinsky. he and president trump have already spoken twice. the president called to congratulate president zelinsky onde his election and on his successs in the parliamentary election. they were very warm and cordial calls. they were hoping that they would be able to a meet in warsaw and have a few minutes together.

the success of ukraine maintaining its freedom, its system of representative government, the free market economy free of corruption, and dealing with the problems of crimea are high priorities here but higher priorities for the united states as well. >> sean: he saw nothing wrong with the call there. it was very clear. the facts never change. maybe whatever donald trump said, they did nothing. they announced nothing. theyma told us he didn't ask for anything. why are we even here? >> well, wishing to be here. -- we shouldn't be here. that's the whole point. i think that there was pretty good grounds for having the senate literally reject the proposal the day it came across. i thought the arrogance and thec dishonesty of both schiff and nadler in lecturing the senators

on what their duty was, which by the way, is about as dumb a thing as you can do is insult the jury, which is what they did. i think that the result has been that they further alienated the republican senators, and i think they have now weakened their position with a number of other democrats. i wouldn't be at all surprised to see a bipartisan majority, not just republicans, but a number of democrats vote that the president is not guilty, is not impeachable. >> sean: i don'tli think it's in their best interest to do so. mr. speaker as always, thank you. for being with us. my producer in my ear is saying apparently nadler is going nuts right now. i promise i won't stay that long, stay as little as possible, but here's nadler. specifically mr. giuliani >> issue a public statement announcing, ambassador sondland worked with julie on eight to

ensure the plans would meet giuliani's command specifically mr. giuliani insisted the statement with specific references to burisma and biden. throughout this process, he h stated that he knew they needed the approval of giuliani and that they knew t he represented the interest of the president. rudy giuliani -- >> sean: how is it possible that, joe, you are not getting the billion, investigating zero experience son, 83 grand a month, millions and millions. it's breathtaking. we will get back to it in a second. here now freedom caucus chairman, house intel committee, ranking member, a guy that in his report, we now know from the inspector general report, told the american people the truth about the dirty dossier, the bulk of information from the fisa application be it hillary clinton bought and paid for dossier and compared to

adam schiff lied to the american people. anyway, congressman nunes, thank you for telling them the american people the truth. i'm glad you've been vindicated. >> you are welcome, sean, and there's more lies today that you just saw on the senate floor. let's just start with today he was complaining. he claims he doesn't know the whistle-blower. then, he was talking about how his staff didn't reallywh coordinate with the whistle-blower. now, though stories are changing. then, he was lying about how his staff are being attacked. by people out in the public. now, remember what i always say. whatever they accuse you of doing, they are actually doing. it was only a few weeks ago that adamdo schiff and his staff docd my former staff and my current staff by publishing their phone records and texts and emails for chuck schumer's new best friend that he invited. to the senate today. >> sean: i want to tell you something. they also gave out messages from my staff. am i allowed to sue for that?t?m

i think that is an invasion of privacy and they didn't believe it. -- delete it. >> i think the question is is at&t that owns cnn, that once again, i'll just say, they t refused to respond to the fake news story. they refused to retract their story about me and others, but at&t has to answer that question. i think at some point in court. and i know they are being sued by judicial watch just for that. they should have at least notified both of us whose phone numbers were going to be in the production of adam schiff's subpoena. >> sean: let me go back. apparently alan dershowitz has a question about the constitution. let's listen to him. >> that were good enough for us during the clinton impeachment that seemed to have changed dramatically in the current situation. the criteria that have been set out are so lost, they basically paraphrase congresswoman, maxine waters, who said, "there is no law."

anything the house wants to do to impeachla is impeachable. that's what's happened today. that places the house of representatives above the law. we've heard much about no one is above the law. the house of representatives is not above the law. may we not use the maxine waters. gerald ford made the same point about impeaching judges. judges are different. there are many of them. there is only one president. but, to use that criteria that it's whatever the house as it is,e it's whatever the senate says it is, turns those bodies into lawless bodies, in violation. of the intent of the framers. manager schiff confused my argument when he talked about intent and motive. you have saidnt i'm not a constitutional -- you admitted that i'm a criminal. and i taught criminal law for 50

years at harvard. there is an enormous distinction between attempt and motive. somebody shoot somebody, the intent is that when you pull the trigger, you know that it will out somebody and kill them. that is the intent to kill. motive can be revenge. it could be money. it almost never is taken under consideration, expect under extreme cases. thereev are cases where motive counts. but let's consider a hypothetical situation. let's assume that president obama had been told by his advisors that it really is important to send lethal weapons to the ukraine. but then, he gets a call from his political advisor who says, we know it c is in our interesto send lethal weapons to ukraine, but we are telling you that the left wing of your party is really going to give you a hard time if you start selling lethal weapons and getting into a lethal war, potentially with russia. would anybody here suggest that was impeachable?

well, let's assume president obama said, i promise to bomb syria if they have chemical weapons, but i am now told that bombing syria would hurt my electoral chances. certainly not impeachable at all. a so, let me apply that to the current situation. as you know, i said previously, there are three levels of possible motive. one is that the motive is pure. the only interest is what is good for the country. in the real world, that rarely happens. the other one is that the motive is completely corrupt. thi want money. kickback. but then, there's the third one that is so complicated and that's often misunderstood, when you have a mixed motive, a motive in which you think you are doing good for the country but you are also doing good for yourself. you are doing good for me, you are doing good for thee, you are doing good, and you put it into a bundle in which you are satisfied that you are doing absolutely the right thing.

let me givech you a perfect example of that from the case. the argument has been made to the president of the united states only became interested in corruption when he learned that joe biden was running for president.ly let's assume hypothetically that the president was in his second term and he said tot' himself, u know, joe biden is running for president. i really should now be concerned about whether his son is corrupt, because he's not only a candidate, but he could be the president of the united states, and if he's the president of the united states and he has a corrupt son, the fact that he has announced his candidacy is a very good reason for upping the interest in his son. if he wasn't running for president, he is a has-been. he is the former vice president of the united states. okay, big deal. but if he is running for president, that's an enormous big deal. so, the difference oft, the houe managers is whether the

president is running for reelection or not running for reelection. i think they will have to concede that he was not running for reelection. this would not be a corrupt motive, or it would be a mixed motive leaning on the side of national interest. if he isru running for reelecti, suddenly that turns it into an impeachable --ni >> thank you, counsel. >> sean:- wow. he went on rachel maddow's channel. i bet harvard is pretty proud. compelling arguments, and the big, your reaction to all of that, and i want to replay this bolton tape and a second. >> yeah, i thought that dershowitz did an excellent job. he saying that the democrat position ultimately comes down to this. you can't investigate a political opponent for criminal conduct, because if you do,

somehow, that's violative of due process. it's violative and it becomes bribery ordu extortion or some kind of misdemeanor. the reality is, and the point that mr. dershowitz just made, which is so good, is that you can't contextualize it that way. if someone has committed a corrupt act, they are not above the law. and so, you are entitled to investigate. that's what the president was talking about, and just because he is running for reelection himself, does not make it permissible to investigate criminal conduct on the part of corrupt people just because they are running for office. >> sean: that's a great argument. last and then we have to roll on here. >> welcome a real quick, sean, i would said that the democrats are going to need a long, long period of rehabilitation and reeducation. what you saw there tonight on the floor with alan dershowitz is the beginning of that reeducation.

>> sean: phenomenal job. this was a beat down today. thank you both. andy and devin t nunes. new footage has resurfaced of adam schiff questioning john bolton's credibility a few years ago. we are going to replay what john bolton said about the president's phone call. that tape, we have tonight. oh, we are not buying his apology. we have a lot of great guests. buckle up. a lot of news straight ahead. ♪ when we started our business

♪ >> sean: all right, the fox news alert at this hour. we continue to monitor the impeachment trial. we will dip in one it is relevant. but first, there i is new information tonight concerning

the boomerang of justice. michael flynn, accusing the fbi of egregious misconduct in his case. it's on the heels of the department of justice. while just recognizing last week that in fact, two of those fisa warrants, maybe i'll four, but two specifically were likely obtained illegally under false pretense. here to explain is fox news contributor, investigative reporter, sara carter. >> is beenen news, sean. probably the biggest news today. because for the first time, we actually heard directly from michael flynn in a supplemental motion submitted by the court by sidney powell, his attorney. he declared, "i am innocentem of these crimes." he withdraws his motion of guilty, saying that he was coerced into pleading guilty because the special counsel then, robert mueller, was going after his son. this is certainly big news.

now, sidney powell is stating that there was a conflict of interest with his previous attorney. she is going to be taking them on as well and this motion. just breaking hours ago, actually the department of justice fast tracked once again. -- backtracked once again just to the court. just several weeks ago, the department of justice actually stated that they wanted to give prison time to flynn. they requested six months. now, they are backing away from that again, saying that he has served his country honorably and that he should just be getting probation. according to sources that i've spoken with, it seems like the prosecutors in this case, are a little worried that flynn's motion to withdraw a guilty plea will actually go through and that there would be a call for a new trial. >> sean: all right, getting interesting. we'll follow that. we want justice. 33 years. know between, oh, you don't need a lawyer, andrew mccabe, and oh, i did something i want

to do or get away with comey. trump, i'm sorry in the bush or obama administration, will do it to trump. we have deep state democrats that they are not the only ones caught up in their egregious dishonesty. wow.w. look what we found? adam schiff being rebuilding on for the lawyer that he is. look at what we found. a clip. adam schiff himself, uncovered by fox news. him shredding his new bff, john bolton and john bolton's credibility. take a look. >> particularly, given the history, where we've had a politicized nation of intelligence over wmd, why we would pick someone, who the very same issue has been raised repeatedly, and that is john bolton's politicization of the intelligence on cuba and other issues, why would we want someone like that as credibility? i just can't understand. >> sean: now come i also want to show you other breaking news tonight. we have other news that what he

finds almost verbatim directly by president trump's characterization of those calls and there were warm and cordial. yet we've got to deal with the issue in ukraine. take a look. >> i will be meeting president zelinsky. he and president trump have already spoken twice. the president called to congratulate presidentnt zelinsy on his success in the parliamentary election. they were very warm and cordial calls. they were hoping that they will be able to meet in warsaw and have a few minutes together. because of the success of ukraine, maintaining its freedom, its system of representative government, free market economy free of corruption. dealing with crimnea are high priorities.io

here obviously, but high priorities for the united states as well. >> sean: he says a perfect call. here's a reaction. congressman, matt gaetz. matt gaetz, let's look at this and i would say the issue would john bolton is over and i'm looking at the congenital liar. your thoughts. here he goes again, and his new bff. >> i thought it was very smart for the president's legal team to start this entire trial with their best evidence and that was an indictment of adam schiff's credibility.e time and time again, adam schiff has been proving a liar, whether it was the misrepresentation of a transcript, whether with the misrepresentation of the whistle-blower, whether it was trying to conceal for many members of congress, a lot of this investigation that was occurring. you mentioned john bolton. i think it was just a little suspicious, sean, that you got

john bolton, who sat totally quiet during the house investigation, not wanting to make some type of grand entrance into the senate trial. you don't restart an investigation in the middle of a trial, and i hope our senators see that and move us past this national nightmare of impeachment. >> sean: your take on both those issues. >> my take on this is at the beginning of the clip, you played, sean of adam schiff, he talks about the politicization of intelligence. no one has been more political in manipulating intelligence and the media than adam schiff. he has consistently abused his power. even today, sean, from the well of the united states senate, adam schiff lied to millions of americans who were tuning in, saying that there was no coordination with the whistle-blower. we know that there was coordination between adam schiff, his staff, and the tlwhistle-blower before the whistle-blower complaint was even issued. they helped put together the complaint and he withheld this information from his colleagues on the committee.

the good news is that the president's league team has done a tremendous job in poking holes in adam schiff's.om faulty case improving no impeachable offenses. >> sean: so now, we are at the point where, i never understood the inclination that they wanted to hear from bolton. matt gaetz, i think we've heard everything we need to hear from bolton right there on that take. match finished. it is over. the schumer schiff sham show is over. this should end with the acquittal that we knew was inevitable anyway. >> there is no denying that the most powerful members of the republicans, who don't like president trump. if they are the ones of which some sort of witness exchange program, then it think that you're going to use some sort of -- that is why we need to have not for the witnesses and here are

some sense of order and trust us. it would be it will be a total free-for-all if additional witnesses are called at this stage in the game, because you don't have, i think, a lot of confidence that these republican senators will actually put joe biden, the whistle-blower, and hunter bider and that witness chair. that means that the president will be full defense. these republican senators need to be warned. no deal without the whistle-blower and hunter biden. nine. >> sean: the staff needs to be there. but the thing is, if they bring in joe and hunter, they did mention him on the call. they did nothing. they announced nothing. they said they felt no pressure. they announced nothing. all right, but now we have the issue. i think when you get to the bottom of it, people that are in legal jeopardy right now are joe and biden. theyop should be in trouble. ♪ congresswoman last words.

>> so, sean, i absolutely think we have heard everything we need to hear. it was his choice not to call additional witnesses, not to call john bolton. because their case is so weak, it's because they are desperate. for sure, we are going to call adam schiff, we are going to call hunter biden and the whistle-blower. this is not a game that adam schiff can decide who is a key witness and who is not. i have confidence that the senate is going to -- thanks, sean. >> sean: thank you, both. what the media mob really thinks of we the people. we'll get intoll that next. we are taking a break. coming up, pressure is getting to joe biden and we've got the video evidence. yes, angry again. by the way, he's down in both iowa and new hampshire to bernie. he's actually telling people he oneeds a stronger running mate, because he's old and may die. the phoning apology by fake news cnn, not buying it. i'll explain. straight ahead.

>> yeah, this is why as many have said, donald trump is president. the american people saw this kind of ridicule and contempt throughout the political elites, throughout the media class, and we've had enough. this is not a one-off dynamic. this is really a bit of a snapshot on what the establishment does think of the average american, not even just donald trump voters, but they have convinced themselves that they are so much more superior, and they do it by ridiculing americans like this. and when we see that, and already the g.o.p. has made a commercial of this. it's online. it's pretty powerful. at the end, they think you're a joke. prove them wrong, right in november? this is really a "made for trump commercial" it's for anyone who had to be reminded about hillary's deplorables comment. this is what they think about

the americanab people and its wy this was necessary. it's why they hate donald trump, because he actually likes us. >> sean: pretty good point too. jason, i look at this tape now of john bolton. he sounded just like donald trump, describing the phone call withn president zelinsky. >> it didn't sound like there was anything wrong there. and if he did think there was a duty and obligation to say so, what we can all read the transcript or self. how many times on this program have we highlighted the idea that donald trump did the unexpected and he just released the transcript?hl everybody can go out and read it. you know a what the big questioi want the democrats to answer? who is the victim in all this? where is the so-called victim? there isis none. they have been working on this impeachment for three years. they've gotot nothing and they e on the verge of verge of embarrassing themselves, and i think it willt be a bipartisan vote to acquit donald trump. they.

>> sean: tammi, your reaction to that tape. >> what people forget, of course, is that these audiotapes are forever. the internet makes everything forever. in the old days, the establishment was able to maintain control by making sure we couldn't hear things like that, there wasn't a history. i think jason is right and the good news is that, let's just say, it's harder to gaslight the american people. we know what they are doing. the polls say that we don't like what is occurring here and we've got to make our feelings known, of course, in november.we but i think it's going to bed fine and i think the president, obviously he is being saved by the fact that he's done a great job. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, senate reconvening in moments. we continue even more of the schiff sham show, which shouldot end, hopefully friday or saturday.
