adam schiff was a joke on many different fronts.e went to the lectern, which we just watched on fox news, that have been presupposed, nobody believe that. i can't believe he even did that with straight face. what was unprecedented and that we haven't seen before, the proceedings are going ahead and the intel committee. even though we are talking about this now and they've passed this supposed openness and transparency, they are having close doors hearings right now, today. >> melissa: this goes in coronation with the whistleblower. that's what they are talking about. we have whistleblower, fixed on my first and we do come around for going to be ig or putting it up the chain -- and katie, i will ask you this -- they go toe most vocal enemy of the subject of the complaint to ask for advice about how to go forward. or at least he says coming to someone within his group, but not directly to him. those of the details it would be asking if they brought him forward. >> katie: and there are questions about why adam schiff held the complaint

we spent more time with volker then adam schiff did. he gave this benign thing and raced off to a fundraiser. here is what we understand, this has to be a fair process when you have a press release being drafted by our democrat colleagues taking text messages. text whatever exonerated this president, let's release it. bringing the invest -- ambassador in, but let's only do so after we released this. >> you're asking them to investigate joe biden, and also the president thing china should investigate. do any of you have concerns about that? >> the president is doing his job. when you talk about the hard earned tax dollars of the american people going to a foreign government, the president will make sure there is no corruption. he is doing his duty as a commander in chief, his duty as the president of the united states. i do not have a concern. >> [indiscernible] >> we would like to see the volk before weny released see the transcribed interviews. what we see in this impeachment is a kingery -- kangaroo court and chairman shift is a capta

schiffadam schiff adam -- who is adam schiff?hiff is the guy who spent two years on tv saying that he had proof of russian collusion and he ended up having nothing. he lied. he was caught on the phone to haveto a russian dirt on donald trump, and then they said they never followed up on it, and we know his office followed up on the call. adam schiff is the guy who said they never talked to the whistleblower and it comes out, you knew about the whistleblower before he filed the charge. when you see all of this, you understand corruption is at the core of all of this. it is the hate of trump, and the deep states. upt: president trump stepped his criticism of adam schiff yesterday in a joint meeting in the oval office with the finish president. here is some of what president trump had to say. [video clip] pres. trump: i saw schiff trying to go -- week not call him shifty schiff for nothing. he is a shifty, this honest guy. he was critical of one of the great secretary of state. rajoy did number one at his class at west point. gradua

>> well someone needs to put adam schiff under oath.n't remove a president in a whistleblower process where there are legitimate questions about the role that adam schiff and his team played in that and i'm promising you that when you read the inspector general' transcript from friday, you'll agree with me that those are questions that adam schiff and his team are going to have to answer and there's no reason, maria that transcript can't be released tomorrow and it should be. maria: we will leave it there congressman always a pleasure, thanks very much. you bet. thanks maria. maria: an important note that john ratcliffe just said that the inspector general report he's expecting we will get it within two weeks that is the fisa abuse report. it is now in the hands of william barr. we'll see if we get that report that will answer a lot of questions. we are awaiting a report from the inspector general on the origins of the russia investigation. he just said it'll be out in two weeks. we're also learning that attorney general william barr me

tells us that he talks to his staff and adam schiff does not reported.n you file a complaint there's a box that you check did you talk to people on capitol hill, they failed to check that. people see this for what it is and it was good to see every republican vote the right way on the floor. lou: this intelligence committee chair, adam schiff is back tabling with two russian disc jockeys is the way to describe them looking for dirt on the president of the united states, looking like the buffoon that he betrays in so many of his official moments. >> go back to how this started, we were told adam schiff, pelosi, there is this call where the president supposedly said i'm going to hold up ukrainian security assistance money unless there's an investigation in the bidens. then we get the transcript and find out that did not take place. everyone said when you read the transcript, no quid pro quo. then president trump and president zelensky meet and they say no pressure, no linkage, no quid pro quo and then we have the special envoy and that's when kurt volker c

what about a relationship with adam schiff? when and where did he meet with schiff's office?id schiff office hire a lawyer and was at a specific lawyer? did they recommend the ig? did that recommendation come from the compromising schiff office. we know the five light about the whistle-blower. we know he like three years about russia. here is what he said when he lied about knowing the whistle-blower. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistle-blower. we would like to, but i'm sure concerned he has not been advised as the law requires by the inspector general or the director of national intelligence just as to how to communicate with congress. >> tucker: that was another lie by the compromised corrupt congenital layer, adam schiff. tonight we need answers, republicans, it is time for you to stand up for due process for the constitution of the united states, for the rule of law to equal application of our laws and yeah, application as well that will work. now, you have to do your jobs. we need as a country to get the bottom of the impeachment. it is a really, really impor

adam schiff continues to deny reports his office was in direct contact with the whistleblower before the complaints was filed. earlier this week former national security council chief fred fleitz predicted schiff and his staff knew in advance. cnn's chris cuomo, well, he wanted to talk about it. >> i saw this and i thought it was unusual, not just that it was extremely well written by the had legal references and foot notes. but i compared that with the fact adam schiff was talking about the subject matter of this complaint throughout the month of august. >> you don't know any of that. you are raising it as questions. that is meaningless until you can put some meat on the bones. lou: it wasn't meaningless, it was prescient. after the "new york times" reported adam schiff and his staff knew of the so-called whistleblower report days before it was fired, fleitz posted this to cuomo. quote you were hard on me last night. we know from the "new york times" that i was right. apology not necessary. joining us tonight, fred fleitz, a prescient national security expert, god to have you with us

what about a relationship with adam schiff? ere and when did he meet with people in schiff's office? did schiff's office recommend hiring a lawyer? was it a specific lawyer? did they recommend going to the i.g.? did that recommendation come from the compromised, corrupt schiff's office? we know schiff lied about the whistleblower. we know he lied for three years about russia. here is what he said. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. we would like to. i'm sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been advised as the law requires by the inspector general or the director of national intelligence just as to how he is to communicate with congress. >> sean: that was another lie by the compromised, corrupt, congenital liar adam schiff. tonight, we need answers. republicans, it is now time for you to stand up for due process, for the constitution of the united states, for the rule of law, for equal application of our laws and -- yeah, application as well, that would work. now, you've got to do your jobs. we

the answer is that i think adam schiff is the biggest leaker in washington. we all know that. he's a corrupt politician. like nobody has ever seen before. the conversation was perfect. they don't talk about the conversation. it started with the whistleblower. now they don't want the whistleblower. they had a second whistleblower and now they don't want it. the they say what whistleblower wrote, which bore no relationship, they said their case went out the window. i think republicans are being taken advantage of. they're being maligned. they are really looking to hurt the republican party and it is turning out to be the opposite. go into theer details of the case rather than process. we already have 50 republican senators, i never called one of them, perhaps the others will do it too. process is good. look at the case, it's very simp le, it's quick. i had another conversation before that which was the same thing. it was nothing. they tried to take that conversation and make it into a big scandal. the problem was we had it transcribed. in a nutshell he whistleb

come to this point, but what is really sad is the president has taken us to this place. >> host: adam schiff is part of the censure they want to put on the house floor. real clear politics, they say congressman schiff light on multiple occasions when he told reporters for 3 news outlets that he and his committee staff had no contact with the so-called whistleblower when in fact they had. >> guest: that is something procedurally we will have to take up. the democrats are in the majority at this point. the floor is being managed by the speaker and mister hoyer and mister clyburn and they will make decisions what votes should come forward. >> host: debbie in pennsylvania, republican. >> caller: my daughter swears into the united states air force today and i'm so proud i wanted to share. >> guest: tell your daughter we are so grateful for her service to this country and that is an amazing feeling you must be having today. >> caller: it truly is. you seem like you are so educated and so polite. i am a conservative and that means i respect god, i respect the united states, respect life. adam schif

is get rid of adam schiff.the truth always has a nemesis and in this case, that man you see on the screen, adam schiff. in my book i go through page after page of lie after lie peddled by adam schiff. he lied about carter page, he lied about bruce ohr. he lied about the dossier. he lied about evidence he claimed to have that he did not have, and now he is lying about the whistle-blower claiming they had no contact with him, they did, claiming that if it weren't for the ig, they wouldn't know about him. they directed the whistle-blower to the ig. they claimed they had no advance notice. they certainly did. adam schiff is a professor of deception and false claims and lies. >> sean: biggest liar in congress. he is the biggest liar. he spreads conspiracy theories and lies. and he's best friends with the media mob. closing thoughts when we get back. flavors. there's the amped-up, over-tuned, feeding-frenzy-of sheet-metal-kind. and then there's performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. that's the k

the fake script adam schiff read before the house intelligence committee. the "new york times" article today about adam sthif colluding all along with the whistleblower is even further evidence he should be censured for his disgraceful activities. lou: few people are surprised i suspect that schiff was part of a contrivance to create an architecture of the phoney persecution of the president just as i'm sure they were involved in the previous efforts to overthrow this president. that is the special counsel, spygate, call it wall. what can the republicans do here? >> at the end of the day we have a couple dozen members who signed on to representative andy biggs motion. when we get back from this two-week recess there will be dozens more who signed on. there is as censure motion with dozens of members of a black eye for adam schiff and his leadership and a very important committee. he owes the american people an apology. my constituents in indiana are ashamed sat what they are watching every day on tv from the russia collusion hoax to the treatment of justice

then puts the complaint to work with adam schiff. schiff's office says they did not receive the actual complaint, just the quote outline, they advised that the whistle-blower to get a lawyer and should go to the inspector general. but watch what adam schiff says about this when asked directly back on the day this whole story started to unfold on september 17th. >> martha: >> we have not spokey with the whistle-blower. we would like to. >> martha: the president had a lot to say about that in a news conference today and went a step further. >> i think it's a scandal that he knew -- i'd go a step further, i'd think he probably helped write it. he knew long before and he helped write it too. it's a scam. it's a scam. >> martha: in a heated news conference, he said none of this at this point surprises him. >> this is a hoax. this is the greatest hoax, a continuation of what's been playing out the last -- since my election, i would say. we will find out soon, but probably even before my election. >> martha: "before my election." that's part

adam schiff deserves to be censured for lying to the american public when nobody else can read what he's able to read . anything else? thank you all. >> now house democrats hold their weekly news conference. asked about their handlingof the impeachment process . >> good morning, thank you for your presence. we had a very active discussion earlier today about one of the top priorities of the house democratic caucus . hr three, or go to lower drug prices on behalf of the americanpeople . we consistently made clear to the president and to the set that one of the things that we must accomplish on behalf of those who we have come to washington to represent is to deal with the outrageously high drug prices and prescription drug medication that we pay here in the united states of america. there's no justification for the fact that the american people paid more for the same drug, often manufactured in the same place as canada, australia, japan, great britain, germany andfrance. no justification whatsoever . hr three will change that by giving the federal government and medicare the ability to ne

what happened, the whistleblower told aid everything, the aide went and told adam schiff, adam schiffd said maybe i should put out tweets and prepare. with that said, then the whistleblower says and goes before group and said that they provided very rare contours of information. what does that mean, nobody knows and i don't think he does either. now just as reported earlier, adam schiff does not hav think y need the whistleblower, of course he does not think because of the whistleblower gets subpoenaed, they talk to the whistleblower and they tell them, this is who i talked to and this is what i told aid and then the egg comes and says adam schiff on solid ground and ease up to his knees in quicksand. >> he is accused of a bias arbiter of impeachment and should not be leading her. here is partisa president trumpm schiff. >> i heard adam schiff has formed pinocchio spread he should've got them to a half years ago. >> adam schiff dog questions. >> i am not going to, and all until after the hearing. except to say, i think the president once again inviting foreign interference in election

the lives of adam schiff.when adam schiff was so afraid of this a administration that it was going to stop the whistle-blower from testifying? the only person who knows who the whistle-blower is in congress is adam schiff and he won't bring him forward. to know what's interesting? admissible process is a fact witness. there is no reason in any of our judicial system that would allow him to be the prosecutor. again, he's not upholding the rule of law. why is he so afraid sure mark you are right. not just republicans should be standing up, but anybody who believes in the bill of rights bill of rights. anybody who believes in the idea of america should tell us the truth of what's going on. if you want to impeach a duly elected president of united states, you better be sure you have due process and you better be sure the american public is able to see it off. >> sean: thank you for being with us. joining us now, two house g.o.p. members who are directly involved in the storming of the democratic closed-door soviet

adam schiff's staff.stleblower complaints. there is a box to check, did you talk to people on capitol hill. every republican voted the right way tonight on the floor. lou: adam schiff is back channeling with two russian disk jockies i guess is the way to describe them. look for different against the president of the united states. too go back to how this started. there is this call where the president supposed by said i am going to hold up you crane security assistance money. then we gets the transcript and find out that didn't happen. even democrat chairmen, no quid pro quo. then we have the special envoy, ambassador kirk volcker testify, and he says the same thing. they keep doing their investigation down in the basement of the capitol where no one can get in and see, and no one can read the transcripts. they schedule depositions at the same time so you can't be in two places at the same time. the american people see through it. they understand this process is unfair. lou: it's pure ignorance on the par

you thatagree with adam schiff is crooked. there has never been any allegations of misconduct about adam schiff. i think you have to give some kind of evidence for why you feel that way and whether you dislike him or not, or dislike is politics, that is not make an individual crooked. -- het think adam schiff is what hedy, that wanted to say at the hearing and members make a lot of comments. i don't think it was crooked for the whistleblower to talk to members of the committee. that individual is free to speak to whoever they want to speak with, whether republican or whoever. as for impeachment, this is something that many of us have not wanted to come to. i have not been one who has, elected, president was who wanted to impeach him. that is ridiculous. i don't have to agree with you to respect the office and the fact you were elected. many of us have come to the point where there are allegations that have been made, that have been substantiated by several people, that are credible, that are building on what we already know th

he put words in adam schiff's mouth that adam schiff didn't say. when someone like adam schiff does it, it's a crime. that's because he likes these villains. he likes to have an adversary that he can attack and go after, someone to focus on, focus his own energy on, focus his supporters on. adam schiff happens to be the target. >> even after a long day, our guests have agreed it stay on. when vladimir putin trolled our own correspondent, our president and all of us in the process.

if adam schiff, this would be a good question for the speaker, did the speaker know adam schiff's staff met with the whistleblower? the speaker made a decision to go into impeachment without even knowing what was on the phone all. did adam schiff share that with anybody on the democratic side? when and where did they know this? what did they know? what did they talk about? these are all questions that people should actually have an answer to. the president didn't do anything wrong. to preface this from the same point that adam schiff said before, he had proof, beyond circumstantial evidence, all the .b.i., all the millions of dollars, all the countries we had had to go to, we found out that was a lie. wouldn't you want to know as an american why did we put ourselves through that? that's exactly what the attorney general is doing. reporter: two questions. first, you just mentioned that the mueller investigation, russia investigation began in ukraine. mr. mccarthy: elements. reporter: are you suggesting that paul manafort, who was tried and convicted in an american court was framed? mr. m

adam schiff made very clear today they are very serious. they are going to do serious interviews with both of these issues. they're going to push very hard for details on meetings with zelensky, conversations with giuliani, details about why the ambassador was ousted. so they are proceeding on this track aggressively as the president is fighting back increasingly wildly. >> andrew, i'll take one for the team here. at this hour last night our lead story was that all we knew was the state department inspector general had asked for an urgent meeting with congressional staff. then came the moment this afternoon. the meeting was over. a member of congress from maryland, who was within his rights to attend even though it was for staff, came out with a color photocopy of a fake white house envelope. we'll play what he said and then talk about it with you on the other side. >> it's essentially a packet of propaganda and disinformation spreading conspiracy theories. those conspiracy theories have been widely debunked and discredited. >> so, andrew,

kennedy: away from adam schiff. >> possible but adam schiff still retains authority to keep it closed, they have a process procedural vote to say, we're open to opening these up, but at the discretion of the chairman, other thing -- >> why does he get to be in charge, does not make sense unless nancy pelosi know its will fail, she despised adam schiff and she wants to hang him out to dry. >> no, i think he probably gave this assignment to him, he may be most willing to continually lie, like he has done for last 3 years, and who knows how much before, that in context of time donald trump has been president, the way you know adam schiff is lying is his mouth moving, you know he is telling some fabricated story to try to make a case against trump, he has been doe going since election night. kennedy: so, republicans have lost faith in the process. what are the adults in the room going to do to bring it to a blighalittle bit more objective providing, that seems to be what we're missing, even with matt gaetz bringing up charges against schiff that will never pass and he knows it. >> it is b
