called an end to the meeting, ambassador bolden described that meeting as a drug deal that sondlandulvaney cooked up, you have no recollection of that? >> no, i did not remember that in the time of my october 3rd testimony. i read the account by alex, and that jog my memory. i said yes, that's right. that did not happen -- did happen. i do not remember it being a abrupt end to the meeting. the meeting was over. we got up and got out to the little circle in front of the white house and took a photograph. it did not strike me as abrupt. >> ambassador volker coming his head in her testimony today, that all of us thought it was inappropriate, as you say, ambassador sondland only reportd investigations in the meeting, and you do not recall him being specific, even those others have in the boardroom. why did you think it was inappropriate? >> it was something of an eye roll moments where you have a meeting, you are trying to advance the substance of the bilateral relationship. we have the head of the security council. it was a disappointing meeting, because i do not think that the ukraini

and at the end, we have major general charlie bolden. he is a former shuttle astronaut and also former nasa administrator during the obama administration, and really oversaw the transition from the space shuttle program to a new era of space exploration where low earth orbit is now being turned over to commercial entities, and we're looking forward to new technologies going on to mars. so the way the panel's going to work today is we're really going to separate it into three different segments. the first segment, we're going to give all of our speakers time to share just a bit about themselves, and then we're going to have about a 30-minute q & a, and then we're going to transition out to the audience. so start thinking about your questions and what you want to ask our panelists. okay, so we're going to start over here on my left with general thomas stafford. you ready? >> yes. so general thomas stafford received his bachelor's degree with honors, an electrical and mechanical engineer from the u.s. naval academy and graduated first in hi

scott bolden is the former chair of the dnc democratic party.at to have you on the program. >> think you. >> i tell you, you go home to your district, and the party on the opposite side of the aisle lights it up when everybody is home. how do you fight it? >> that is tough. those districts were democrats won by a small majority, we knew it was going to be tough. we have to do what we have to do, constitutionally and for the sake of the country. now, you are absolutely right about one thing. the dems need to be spending more on counter ads and those close districts. not surprised the republicans are galvanized by this impeachment process. they'd be galvanized anyway. the democrats are just as galvanized. we need to get a nominee and move forward. but the dnc needs to raise more money and spend more money. their challenge is you have 11 to 15 candidates that are soaking up a lot of the democratic money right now. >> harris: you didn't really pick a number there. [laughs] if you count the men who got it over the weekend. >> it keeps changing! [laug

bolden's possible testimony looms but he and others are o er they'll have to appear. >> john golden's lawyer said he'll not appear voluntarily, even if he gets a subpoena, another individual who was represented the same lawyer will say judge, you make the decision. ifde bolton goes that direction that could slow things down. and the point you made about speed, does the house go to court, fight out the litigation or move on? ey would like john bolt on the testify because he was firing by or quit under protest from the white house. he would seem to be a powerful witness. >> what i was total today is that you can do both. they can move to the public ase of testimony, have big public hearings and they canin co to do depositions. obviously they have to cut it off at some point if they hand erything over to the house judiciarymi cee. but even ifhey move to public hearings in the middle of november, they cod still do a deposition or a hearing with john bolton if they have the opportunity. they've take to hi anytime they have the chance. >> so many people who have been depo so far have brough

. >> as we are now aware, ambassador bolden expressed his concerns and instructed dr. fiona hill, your supervisor, to also meet with the same white house lawyers to tell them what happened. colonel vindman, i agree there was no question that investor sondland was proposing a transaction to ukrainian officials, trading white house meetings for specific investigations. but the full awareness of the president's' chief of staff, white house attorneys and his national security advisors. in my view, sir, that's appalling. i yield to the chairman. >> thank you gentlemen. i would just point out as where thawell that when the matter dos come, the white house through its counsel have the opportunity to make a submission to the judiciary committee. i now turn to dr. wentz trip. >> thank you mr. chairman. lieutenant colonel, thanks very much for being here as an army colonel who served a year in iraq, i appreciate the service and the sacrifice you made during that time and i know the environment. i appreciate the importance of chain of command and in your definition you emphasize

. >> you mentioned witnesses that should have testified in this whether it be nick mulvaney, john boldenyou had it held, it speaks to the white house argument here, the trump's argue there is absolute immunity. a judge ruled in congress's favor here. do you think they shea should wait to speak to the people involved? >> my opinion is nick mulvaney, john bolton, mike pompeo, all the president's men, their names have come up repeatedly. if the president is innocent, let him come forward and it is difficult to get to the truth if you don't have the folks that were in the room making the actual decisions testify. and look, these are not executive privilege, so i don't buy the absolute immunity argument. >> already you let you go, you are aware of the case of eddie gale ger and you have the navy secretary saying that the president is undermining military discipline, are you concerned by the president's intervention in this case? >> very much so, i think the president went out of bounds. you have a carolina of command and you have to have discipline. i think the president stepped out of bounds

. >> you were upset with ambassador bolden and i believe your counsel said that was a fabrication. >> you might recall in my deposition i said it's fortunate we had a blowup with ambassador sondland. one encounter was in june when i said to him, who put you in charge of ukraine? i was rude. that is when he told me the president which shut me up. this other meeting was as he depicted it was. i was angry with him. when women show anger, it is pushed onto emotional issues or deflected onto other people. i was angry he was not coordinating with us. i should realize having listened to his deposition that he was right. he was not coordinating with us because we were not doing the same thing he was doing. i was upset he was not telling us about the meetings he was having. he said i am briefing the president, chief of staff mulvaney, secretary pompeo and ambassador bolden. who else do i have to deal with? we have a robust interagency process that deals with ukraine that includes mr. holmes, ambassador taylor, a load of other people. it struck me when you put up on the screen ambassador sondla

as a think tank focused on developing bolden innovative approaches to american foremost security and challenges, it's hard to take a hard look at the foreign policy that informs american foreign policy, because it is pretty vital that we examine the course our country is on, and the prevailing wisdom behind it, and ask ourselves with someone from the past holder today. how it will future demands have different efforts for the years before. but do we need to do differently than what we've done in the past? so to address these questions then, and other ones as well, we are very pleased this morning to house senator josh hawley of nevada. how the emergence of great power conversations should and even must change american approaches. senator josh hawley took office in january 2019, he's the youngest senator in the senate and serves on the armed services committee, the judiciary committee, and the homeland security committee. and this time in congress, senator hawley has emerged as a major voice in the debate over policy towards china, including on the issue of hong kong, on technology is

the aide was released as we discussed on wednesday was because vice president pence, and ambassador bolden, u.s. senators all talked with president zelensky and were convinced that he was the real deal as ambassador has alluded to in her testimony. that's why it was released. i yield back. >> mr. chairman, a lot has changed since the whistle-blower came forward. two things in particular. first, most of what the whistle-blower has alleged has been cooperated by the witnesses that we have heard from. second, the president who my colleagues so shamelessly continue to defend continue to pressure, threatening, and intimidate the whistle-blower. so i would like unanimous consent to put into the record a september 26, 2019 article from "business insider" trump suggested the whistle-blower who filed the complaint against him was treason, punishable by death. how about september 26, 2019, "vanity fair," trump suggests executing the whistle-blower like "in the good old days." third, september 29th, the whistle-blower lawyer raises fear for client safety. mr. chairman, the whistle-blower has an absol

hill said ambassador bolden referred to this deal as a drug deal after the july 10th meeting. ambassador bolton opposed a call between president zelensky and president trump out of concern it would be a disaster. needless to say, the ukrainians in the meeting were confused. ambassador bolton and the regular channel wanted to talk about security, energy and reform. ambassador sondland, a participant in the irregular channel, wanted to talk about the connection between a white house meeting and ukrainian investigations. also during our july 19th call, dr. hill informed me that ambassador volker met with mr. giuliani to discuss ukraine. this caught me by surprise. the next day i asked ambassador volker about that meeting but received no response. i began to sense that these two separate decision making channels, the regular and the irregular were separate and at odds. later that day, i received text messages on a three-way whatsapp text conversation conversation with ambassadors sondland and volker. ambassador sondland said a call between president trump and president zelensky wo
