i didn't do you justice, jim jordan. four things that never change. >> yeah. >> sean: can i add a fifth? there were five follow up meeting. >> key meetings in that 55 days that the aid was paused. key meetings never once linking aid to an investigation never come up. the facts are all on the president's side. no matter what the democrats do with this the spin, they are on the president's side. today as you pointed out, sean, we had to listen to adam schiff i think for over four hours. the same adam schiff who told us there is more than circumstantial evidence there was collusion. the same adam schiff the fisa process was just fine. the same adam schiff who said the nunes memo was adequate. the same adam schiff who did his false story the parody at the hearing right after this came out. and then the same adam schiff who mislead the american people yesterday, the politico story about the text message that mr. parnas had. this guy, we are now supposed to believe when he talks for four hours that he is telling us the truth?

and jim jordan said it was about lie after lie.isten, we quit counting after we had 12 different false statements made by adam schiff and the fact is, he knows t better. and he continues to try to sell this to the american people. i can tell you, they are not buying it. we're not buying it. but, more importantly, the senators are not buying it. they are unified, you know, 12 votes last night. not a single one of them that went in the democrat's favor, so, it's all about making sure that we call adam schiff out for what we know he is. and that is someone who is not willing to give the american people the truth. >> sean: like a train wreck. that might be the only reach people would watch. i want to go broader here because we have to look at everything happening through the prism of what is happening in 286 days. and that's the ultimate jury as i call it and the american people could shock the world again. i want to lay out my case where i think thehe president is in a good position. but, with this caveat. the republican to win theli

moving forward, jim jordan. you have four week senate republicans to give into the schumer-schiff sham show and go down this road to take on the constitutional role of the house, they than i guess want to hear from the congenital liar, the congenital liar staff. i want to hear from quid pro quo quote joe, zero experienced hunter and the hearsay nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower who was reported last week that it was actually plotting getting rid of trump on weak two with another obama holdover in the trump white house. >> you go down the road, you've got to go all the way down it and they're going to be witnesses, then republicans should get our first witness. we've had zero of our witnesses and i think first and foremost it should be the whistle-blower. whether they will go there or not, i don't know. >> sean: i want joe. speak one of the questions that i want to know is what was the day when the whistle-blower first came in contact with schiff's staff. when did it happen? when did it happen, mr. schiff? >> sean

joining us tonight, one of the members of the president legal team, jim jordan.e's also the ranking member of the house oversight committee and member of the house judiciary committee. congressman, great to see you. you are in the throes of the shifty schiff team. what do you make of what they've done over these last few days? >> the 24 hours doesn't change the facts. the facts have always been on the president side. for months now, they say don't change. the transcript shows no quid pro quo. he repeatedly said there was s o pressure, no pushing of the investigationwa. the ukrainians didn't know at the time of the call and they took no action. there is no announcement of the investigation before. no matter how long adam schiff and democrat talk, it won't change. it's interesting all the adjectives used to describe chairmanships presentation, all the things they said. it reminded me of president reagan, it's not the review that counts. it's what happened at the box office. i think since november, the voters will speak loudly and clearly. trump will win in a big wa

they didn't let him and jim jordan do their job. they produce a sub-par work product. and nancy pelosi is challenged why it was rushed through. she said we have been working on this for 2.5 years. that gives more insight to her motivation. it was always about impeaching the president. >> sean: you pointed this out every day, fighting for the ride for the fairness that newt gingrich offered bill clinton and his attorneys when he was speaker of the house. >> it's crazy to think that nancy pelosi impeached the president for obstructing the house when she is obstructing

trump loves jim jordan and knows the facts of the case the democrats have built against the president really well. but mitch mcconnell, the senate republican leader has been telling trump that he shouldn't be thinking of the trial as a made for tv moment. that people like jim jordan could repel moderate republicans like susan collins, lisa murkowski who want to see sort of a different strategy instead of this no-holds-barred, go after joe biden, go after hunter biden, go after the whistle-blower. they don't want to see that strategy. and they are worried that could hurt the republican unity in the senate. >> michael, how -- when this trial starts, how soon and how would there be a vote on calling witnesses? how would that process work? >> well, first thing that would happen is once the senate receives the articles, then the majority leader would convene the senate. probably not in a closed session as trent lott did during the clinton impeachment but he'll convene the senate and they'll take a vote on overall procedure. basic framework for proceeding. clearly that framework will not in

we have exclusive insight from congressman jim jordan and a white house spoke mann and senator blackburn who sat through hours and hours of oral arguments will tell us why the tone of the house impeachment managers think is really hurting their case. after listening to arguments today, it's clear that house democrats are operating under the assumption they can make tremendous leaps of logic contradict the public testimony of their own witnesses and in some cases just outright lie. their new maxim, if at first you don't persuade. lie and lie again. the rest of the media is not interested in fact checking democrats, we decided we would do it. first, adam schiff and the impeachment managers took to levelling new charges against president trump. >> it's not every day you get a document like this. what appears to be a member of the conspiracy writing down the object of the conspiracy. >> laura: conspiracy, this sounds serious. but then why wasn't it made into an articles of impeachment. why didn't they move to amend the articles of impeachment? there is a thing called authenticating a documen

. >> we put together jim jordan, matt gates, john radcliffe, we don't know when or if this will happen in the senate but what can you tell us about the strategy moving forward? >> the president deserves the a team. i can share that the defense will be multifaceted. some folks do the work on the senate floor. i would expect the white house counsel to quarterback that group of people, alan dershowitz would be an excellent addition to that team but there are core group of house members, myself, jim jordan, mark meadows, leesville, john radcliffe who have lived these facts day in and day out for two years and we can add a lot to the defense in terms of the context, the witnesses and a real reflection of who the relevant jury is here. i don't think the united states senate is the only jury that matters. this is a case we have to make to the american electorate and the world. we are a shining example of democracy in the world and if we allow the votes of tens of millions of americans to be disqualified by some people in washington dc that send a really bad message for our country. shannon: a

jim jordan's who you mentioned that maybe a few others who will be on call if needed. >> what is the argument going to look like? >> martha: you have >> you have to see where the arguments are going to be if you look at the two accounts like obstruction of congress which make no sense because he never took the subpoenas to court, and you have the other which is escaping me right now, the changes all the time, abuse of power, can't even be defined because they've moved >> you can do that now, you actually know where you are, and it was very clear, i remember that call, which was very odd, random, talking about random things, great, talking to my staff, boom, boom, boom. >> martha: was there any discussion about the ambassador on that call? >> it was not until this impeachment sham started. you have to remember, what i would guess i would be interested in the time, because we still have an ongoing investigation into the clinton campaign, who in ukraine they were working with and why they were involved in the russian hoax. the democrats have denied that but it was very clear that the de

jim jordan. you've got to take him out of office now. don't remove him from office, he'll cheat in 2020. that is preposterous. >> totally preposterous. they want to get him out of office because they know they can't be in november. there's not a democrat that i think has a chance of beating him. i think it could be a big win for the president, i think there's a chance we take back the house. that was four hours yesterday, this is the same adam schiff that told us for two years there's more than circumstantial evidence of collusion. you can trust the process. last month, the size was so bad when they took the application to the private court, they lied seven times. we are going to hear from the whistleblower, all these false things he told us. we're supposed to believe what he said for four hours yesterday? i don't think the american people are buying it. >> they are not actually watching, jim. these hearings are run on six networks and they have 11 million viewers. they were watching fox. i don't think the message is getting out. anyway,

congressman jim jordan ranking member of the house oversight committee, member of the house judiciarypy new year, lou. >> i want to start with bolton he's decided he will unlike in the house, being willing to testify where he to be subpoenaed. your reaction. >> no. i think look that's up to the the senate. i don't think if it does happen, i don't think it should. but if it does, it shouldn't happen until after the opening arguments were made in senate trial as senator mcconnell has said. look here's what we know four facts have never changed they've been the same and stay the same. they have never changed one bit democrats don't care about facts and keep pushing but we have the call transcript there was nothing wrong with the call transcript both guys have enjoyable call there was laughter. there was all kind of things on this call but no quid pro quo, we have the two guys saying all of that. so -- excuse me, the ukrainian knew -- didn't know aid was held at the tile of the call and most importantly they took no action to get the aid release or to get a meeting with president of the u

doug collins of georgia, mike johnson of louisiana, jim jordan of ohio, mark meadows of north carolina, john radcliffe of texas, lee zeldin of new york. none of them are expected to speak on the senate floor. instead sources say they will serve as outside advisers and tv surrogates. a number of advisers have been meeting regularly with trump's lawyers to help them prepare. >> a majority of americans believe the senate should remove the president from office. 51% say the president needs to go even before the trial gets under way. 45% do not believe he should be removed. and when asked if there should be testimony of new witnesses at the president's trial well 69% said yes and 26% said no. >> as his senate impeachment trial heats up president trump heads to the 50th world economic forum in davos, switzerland. he's expected to deliver opening remarks a little over an hour from now. cnn's jeremy diamond live in davos. we know the president is on the ground there. what can we expect today? >> reporter: that's right. the president has indeed landed here at davos, a small town nestled in the

>> i think trump was looking for some fire b jim jordan from the house side or mark meadows, and thismore of a compromise. as you said that senate republicans do not want this thing to devolve into anything circus-like or trumpian. this is more of a compromise and we have media friendly faces like ken starr and alan dershowitz who can argue on constitutional grounds. they've been out talking to him, and it's a little bit of star power is that i think the president was looking for. but it's not quite the kind of a raw that might result if you had, say jim jordan on the flo floor. >> bret: speaking of star power, ken starr is on the list talking about witnesses. >> they desperately wanted to call witnesses. they were never able to do that. i predict they are going to be witnesses, they had too manyrs y want this. >> and we will see how that plays out. senator mcconnell's plan is supposed to be the clinton model of impeachment which is 24 hours of impeachment for the house managers, and at 16 hours and they asked the different sides, and and i've been told by several people that they are

>> i think that they want both, people who can make strong legal arguments, attorney, and jim jordan and others are not attorney, but the as eli said, people who are known quantities, who americans can tune in and say yeah, i've sethat person before, that is a relate putable lawy receipt putable lawyer. >> and there has been chatter about the role that john roberts might play. is it your sense that either side either the managers or the white house expect him to be a big player in this or are they expecting a more hands off chief justice? >> that is maybe what the biggest unknown here. even kind of has a sense of how the republicans are going to play this, how the house managers will come in, that there a lot of daylight between them. no one really knows where the chief justice is on this in terms of how much of a role that he will be able to play on the process and where he may come down, you know. yes, he is a conservative, but also john roberts to a lot of people looks like an institutionalis, some people have pointed out his ruling preserving obamacares a evidence of that. and ev

but of course, there are a core group of house members, myself, jim jordan, mark meadows, i would sayee zeldin, matt ratcliff who have lived these facts day in and day out for two years. we can add a lot to the defense in terms of the context, the witnesses, and also, a really reflection of who the relevant jury is. i don't think that the united states senate is the only jury that matters. this is the case we make to the american electric into the world. we are the shining example of democracy in the world, if we allow the votes of tens of -- tens of millions of americans away from to see, that sends a message to the country. >> shannon: democrats speaking out saying a writer or group that claims to see unredacted emails involving officials saying the president gave direct orders to hold up this aid. the intel chairman adam schiff said this. they directly cooperate witnesses who testified that military aid was withheld at the direction of the president and that the white house was informed doing so may violate the law, chuck schumer says that his new evidence that raises questions i c

you know, he's not going to be as aggressive as jim jordan would be. so the president wants these house members who have been defending him so aggressively, so staunchly over these last few months to be a part of the team. now, senator mcconnell didn't like the idea of these guys being on the senate floor. the idea of house members on the senate floor in general is anathema to the senate. under the best of circumstances he didn't think -- senator mcconnell -- that they would be a good idea for the tonight have on the floor this time. so they've got this ancillary role, the adjunct team to go out to the sticks and make the case for those who might not be following it hour by hour through the long night, but to kind of sum up the president's view of how the case is going in a very aggressive way. >> nancy, you spoke eloquently about the president's state of mind, his feelings on the persecution of him in the legal and political realm. do you have any evidence that his expectations have changed along with kind of the rolling reality of this, or do you thi

this is one of jim jordans facts that ner change.in lev parnas laid out all of the times that he talked to the inner circle. >> and they knew earlier than we previously knew. we didn't know they had been trying to make this same ultimatum with president poroshenko. then poroshenko loses the election. then zelensky comes in. then day one before the inauguration, they are giving him all these ultimatums he has to do. and they were worse than we knew. no relationship with the u.s. not just no military aid, no white house visit. giuliani begins trashing the people around zelensky. it's so much more intense what the -- the pressure the ukrainians were under. >> and no pence visit. that's the other key piece of this. at least according to parnas, he directly makes that connection. now, he says it's not clear what exactly pence knew about that, but the timing here is interesting in it does deepen the timeline. it goes much further back. it also is interesting to me how it just underscores that this was the tentacles reached so many people.

, the people we saw all during the impeachment -- >> jim jordan, meadows. >> ratcliffe, those figures, he loved watching that show. to have them from his perspective and he is being encouraged to push for people like them to work alongside of his own lawyers, his own legal team in the senate trial. others, our colleagues phil and sarah and others are reporting that mitch mcconnell, who actually is the majority leader of the senate went to the president yesterday and said that's a bad idea because it won't help your case because in the senate the people they're trying to influence are the moderate republicans on any given witness, the question is how are they going to vote on any given witness and having a conservative trying to shove it down their throat might not help. >> dana bash, thank you very much. none of us will go too far to find out what's happening with speaker pelosi and those articles. >>> cnn's inside look and how the trump administration learned of iran's missile strike and why the president ultimately decided against retaliating. >>> plus, the royals, we got to talk ab

so it is worth noting that we did see congressman jim jordan walking into the white house hours ago, presumably he would be one of the infectors. and manu raja, what did you hear? >> yes, he said let's not infect the trial with a circus-like trial of the house, and you have an increased chance of doing that if you have add the house members, and bringing in additional republicans like jim jordan and those who were part of the defense in the house, and some say, in fact, go to proceed as normal and not bring in the individuals who could distract from the president's defense in any way and also the president called for outright dismissal of his case, and john cornyn said, look, we should move to acquit the president and not dismissal like the president wants. another republican senator lamar alexander a close confidant of mitch mcconnell said he is open to the idea of bringing in witness, but it has to wait, and wait for after the opening arguments and then they can vote to decide, and so a number of steps have to take place, and uncertainty, but certainly some big votes on the floor i

doug collins and jim jordan. among others. oversight committee and cochair of sanders campaign for president. good evening, sir. good to have you. how you doing? >> good to be back on. >> according to to a source there are currently no plans for the house members to speak on the senate floor. so, what i want to know is what exactly are they going to be doing? >> i don't know. i don't know why anyone would have doug collins to represent the president. he has had to apologize for suggesting that every democrat loves terrorism. i was on the house floor speaker nancy pelosi accepted the apology. i don't understand what the white house is thinking by having someone like him involved. he's going to do post impeachment spin. but it's going to be a backfire. >> let's talk about mitch mcconnell's plan for the impeachment trial. each side expected to get only 24 hours of time divided over two days for the opening argument. house was they were accused of rushing their process. what about mcconnell in the senate? >> it's outrageous. why y

jim jordan's four facts that never change. i will get to them in a second. even if president did say he wanted to do it. he wanted to not give them aid. guess what, ukraine got all their money. some of it even early. they never did a thing. they never announced they would do anything. they never did anything. if you say i want to kill this person. okay. what crime have you committed? did you kill the person? no. did you think about it for a second? yeah. but you didn't do it, did you? don't take my word. listen to the constitutional scholar, harvard law professor. here is alan dershowitz on the senate floor moments ago. >> if a president, any president were to have done what the times reported about the content of the bolton manuscript, that would not constitute an impeachable offense. let me repeat. nothing in the bolton revelations even if true would rise to the level of abuse of power or an impeachable offense. >> sean: even if the president said it, he didn't do it. this capped off the day of arguments that absolutely devastated the democrats and their p

he brings documents that rebut jim jordan's weak-ass smack talk even before it leaves his dirty littlejon: oh! >> stephen: republicans spent the whole hearing trying to make it about the bidens, so during his questions, democratic congressman welch offered a challenge to president trump. >> and i will say this to president trump: you want to investigate joe biden, you want to investigate hunter biden, go at it. do it. do it hard. do it dirty, and do it the way you do do it. just don't do it by asking a foreign leader to help you in your campaign. >> stephen: ( as welch ) "do it. do it hard. do it dirty. but do it right here in front of us, where we can all watch your dirty, nasty little doing it. and i yield the remainder of my time to mistress domina, princess of punishment." ( laughter ) leading up to today's testimony, republicans had really high hopes for one of the afternoon witnesses. former u.s. special representative for ukraine and man spending way too much time on one part of the sex talk, kurt volker. according to previous witnesses, volker was deeply involved in the communi

lou: this is what congressman jim jordan on this broadcast said just moments ago about the radical dimmsent. >> 24 hours of talk doesn't change facts. the facts have always been on the president's side, no quid pro quo, president zelensky and president trump said there was no pushing of an investigation for the release of the dollars. ukrainians didn't note aid was held up at the time of the call and they made no investigations before they received the aid. lou: that's it for us tonight. grab a copy of mike lindell's new book, "what are the odds?" from crack addict to ceo. trish: tonight as democrats wrap up their opening remarks in the impeachment sham. one thing is clear. this was only about a grab. one big old giant power grab. the democrats don't know how to create a thriving economy. they don't understand economics. i would argue give, they have done with china or iran. they only understand one thing. power. they want and they intend to get it. fun it means trashing the constitution on which our great nation was built.
