center for security policy president fred fleitz, can you impeach a president for a thought crime.he president's phone call transcript said, this is the basis for impeachment i would like you to do us a favor. because our country has been through a lot and ukraine knows a lot about it. whether you think it was tin foal hat conspiracy theories president was talking about, the fact remains, swap out words and put obama and romney in there puts it in a new light. >> i exactly agree, agree. you stated three things there. you're exactly right. since when by the way does someone get immunity from any investigation because they're running for federal office? vice president biden is running it president he can't be investigated? my gosh, we should be held to higher standard, not immune from being investigated. we should be investigated thoroughly if we're putting ourselves in that kind of position or responsibility. liz: even in "new york times" story about john bolton and his manuscript, talking about the president wanting to look into corruption involving quote, democrats plural, democra

fred fleitz former national security council chief of staff. ou have any idea why the democrats find it so hard to support people being shot in the street by a vindictive and nasty dictatorship? >> stuart, it is great to be here. it is really appalling. my answer is really simple. i really believe trump derangement syndrome poisoned the national security debate in washington. the mainstream media and democratic politicians, liberals, think tanks, they will simply not give this president a break or any credit for something he has done, not just in our interests, it is in the interests of international security, it is in the interests of the iranian people. 60% of iranians are under the age of 30. they know about freedom. they know what is going on outside the country. they don't like women locked up and beaten for dancing in the streets or not wearing veils. never mind corruption and iranians dying in syria and iraq. the people of iran are outraged at what this government has done. stuart: what chance do you think there is of regime change in ira
