professional ethics or the most knowledgeable people about europe he's absolutely truthful man mr kant would you agree with them bassett or taylor that he's of the highest integrity i believe kurt volker has served the u.s. as a public servant very well do either of you have any evidence that mr volcker committed perjury or lied to this committee in his test him in his testimony of this committee do either of you have any evidence that kurt volker perjured himself or lied to this committee in his testimony investor taylor any evidence mr i've no evidence scant. i believe volcker's deposition was over 400 pages and i don't have it in front of me so i can't get what you have no evidence that he lied or perjured i have no basis to make that judgment no matter what we're not in a court gentleman and if we were the 6th amendment would apply and so would rules on hearsay and opinion and most of your 2 testimonies would not be admissible whatsoever but i understand in your profession you deal in words of understanding words of beliefs and feelings because in your profession that's what you wo

corruption in the ukraine championed by people such as former ambassador maria yvonne of age but mr kant is it not true that rather than fighting corruption in general and ukraine that what president trump actually did was unceremoniously recall and remove ambassador yuan of it from her post in ukraine i would say 1st of all as i repeated before the president has the right to recall and basters remains a matter of policy of the united states towards ukraine to help them overcome a legacy of corruption and creating new institutions and much of what we've been discussing today. which involved in a regular channel was a request that one against us policy that would have undermined the rule of law and our long standing policy goals and ukraine as in other countries in the post soviet space those policies which were indeed championed by ambassador you vonnegut you also testified on october 15th in the position about fundamental reforms necessary for ukraine to fight corruption and to transform the comp of the country and you cited the importance of reforming certain institutions notably the s

have seen one or two a couple of times, they are ambassadors but these are names like taylor, like kant with the baseball time, wonderful bowtie, maybe i'll get one myself day. i don't know who can't is. i don't know who taylor is. they heard a conversation of a conversation of another conversation that was had by the president. what's going on is a disgrace . and it's an embarrassment to our nation and in the meantime we can't get usmca approved because nancy pelosi is grossly incompetent. and you're about to find that out. thank you very much. [inaudible] china is going to have to make a deal with iraq, if they don't, that's it. i'm happy with china right now, they're paying over $100 billion and china neighbor never gave us a red cent and i told you i gave a lot of money to the farmers and i'm helping people because china is paying, they're paying for it. they're devaluing their currency and pouring cash into their economy. their supply chains are being killed and they had the worst year in 57 years. with that being said i have a good relationship with china and we will see what happ

leaders liverpool, and a point behind chelsea and it was the visitors who took the lead through n'golo kantesed for city, and riyad mahrez has given them the lead. half time at the etihad, 2—1 city. we'll keep you up to date with the score througout the programme. liverpool maintained their eight—point lead at the top of the premier league with a victory over crystal palace, but it wasn't without some var controversy. palace defenderjames tomkins had a goal ruled out in first—half stoppage time afterjordan ayew was adjudged to have fouled deyun lovren. sadio mane scored his tenth goal of the season just after half—time for liverpool. it looked as if wilfried zaha had rescued a point for palace when he equalised, but roberto firminho scored a late winner from a corner to clinch the win. liverpool's victory means they've now gone 30 games unbeaten in the premier league. we won it, and that is absolutely ok, you don't have to go so far if you just want that. i liked a lot of the performance, not everything, but some things were not there and we see the more often, the good things at least. afte

key witnesses you never heard of the master you gonna bitch you know have you ever heard of george kant. are you watching the trumpet pietschmann inquiry hearings on t.v. . does it interest you at all. why do you think you are americans are trying to watch the speech it's it's it's a fluke easy yeah sure it's fake i mean like 23 years since he's come into power if you like this one are you really going on the thing you have. this is a big colossal waste of time experience in which the bread here it was more so like you know sensitive to the public and this one is just everybody's either this or they're so yes it seems that the donald trump is a bad guy show has been airing from capitol hill for a few seasons already but americans are now yawning and saying haven't we seen this episode before. artsy new york. media analyst jennifer to muster a say the drop in interest actually comes in one day for us democrats. the american public i think the public in general is getting bored with some of the narratives that have been pushed against donald trump have been shown to either be completely f

. >> this is what i kant believe and you are stair star witness. are you their first witness. you are the guy, based on this, based on, i mean i have diseen church prair chains easier to understand that than this. >> trevor: that say good point, good point jim jordan these guys done have first hand knowledge of what trump was doing with ukraine. so why are they the ones testifying. i mean maybe it's because the white house has blocked all the people who do have first hand knowledge from testifying. that is a good point, trevor, that's a good point, thank you. me. jim jord ang only focus was making it seem like this entire process was show a sham. but it all back fired when he tried to turn the focus to the whistle-blower. >> now there is one witness, one witness that they won't bring in front of us. they won't bring in front of the american people. and that is the guy who started it all. the whistle-blower. nope. >> i say to my colleague, i would be glad to have the person who started it all to come in and testify. president trump is welcome to take a seat right there.

the vice president i reported mr mcconnell as message to deputy assistant secretary of state george kantover the following months it became apparent that mr giuliani was having a direct influence on the foreign policy agenda that the 3 amigos were executing on the ground in ukraine in fact at one point during a preliminary meeting of the inaugural delegation someone wondered aloud why mr giuliani was so active in the media with respect to ukraine my recollection is that ambassador sohn stated quote damn it rudy every time rudy gets involved he goes and after everything up the inauguration took place on may 20th and i took notes in the delegations meeting with presidents on ski during the meetings secretary perry past presidents alinsky a list that perry described as quote people he trusts secretary perry told presidents alinsky that he could seek advice from the people on this list on issues of energy sector reform which was the topic of subsequent meetings between secretary perry and key ukrainian energy sector contacts embassy personnel were excluded from some of these later meetings b

starting out with mr taylor who has an impeccable reputation they've also got a 2nd witness today george kant who is the state department official overseeing ukrainian policy and he's going to support much of what. mr taylor says but here is where it's going to get interesting when republicans get the chance to question george can't because if you read his closed door testimony he did raise a did talk at times about prior concerns within the state department about hunter biden service on that board as a member of the advisory board of that company boris mudd that rudy giuliani and the president wanted the ukrainians to investigate now it's going to be really interesting when republicans if they go down that road will adam schiff the chairman the democratic chairman who's presiding allows some latitude for the republicans to make that line of questioning about the bidens and i think you could . see some fireworks when that happens michael as you were talking so as we're monitoring pictures coming to us from inside the chamber there on capitol hill i'm intrigued as to how you think we will fram

you know him better tailor and mr kant provided some testimony that they had some apprehension that the part of this year irregular channel that taylor referenced would rear its head in toronto and i'm just wondering if you can tell us. whether that in fact happened yes thank you. i can only tell you what what i know and there may have been other conversations or other things but i know that we had a conversation bill taylor and i believe gordon salma and i around the 28th of june that later connected to a believe a conversation with president alinsky although i may not have been part of the latter. that being said i was convinced after that conversation we had gotten nowhere we had our white house briefing of president trump on may 23rd he signed a letter inviting presence on ski to the white house on may 29th and for several weeks we were just temporizing with the ukrainians saying well we're working on it it's a scheduling issue you know we'll get there don't worry and i told bill and gordon the that i was going to see presence on skin toronto and i feel an obligation to tell him the

ukraine when it negotiates with the russians and i want to go back because in the historical context mr kant did you in ambassador taylor. provided we had 70 years of peace. after the war in which we've lost over $400000.00 american lives and that took care and that was in jeopardy as you described it in bashur taylor and that's right and each and every one of us appear in the constituents we represent is that a fair statement it's a 1st date but. i want to do 3 dates to i only have a little time but july 24th july 25 in july 26th in forwarding this hearing in that last summary which we just heard from the chairman of the house intelligence committee adam schiff really sums up what democrats hope that the american public take away from these testimonies and that is that democrats chose 2 of their strongest witnesses a bill taylor who is the acting u.s. ambassador to ukraine and george can who is a high level state department foreign officer also an expert on ukraine who haven't had a political reputation there by their non partisan they've served their country for many years and they both ha

never did i imagine i would be pointing out the gross flaws of a rub kant president. >> what should we believe? who can we trust? tonight a cnn special report "all the president's lies." >> okay. >> hi, i'm jake tapper in washington. most presidents tell lies, whether obama's if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, or bush's declaration that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. the motion of white house falsehoods is not new. what is new, however, is the sheer volume and degree of false statements coming from this president, donald trump. and as he mounts his defense from the impeachment inquiry on a foundation of lies, i wondered what is the actual impact of this on our nation? and what happens if there is some major international crisis and he needs all of the american people to believe him, to trust him, to have faith in his words? i mean, god forbid that ever happen, but if your word means nothing, what happens then? >> maybe i can see -- >> it's really kind of mind blowing to think we had a cat 5 hurricane that sat off the coast of florida for multiple days and we weren

there's nothing kant about it, i played it as much like me as if i were a woman. >> that's what manyppreciate about your work. your humanity and bring a lot of empathy and humanity were two roles. and you play a serial killer in dexter and you're about to appear and a movie playing roger ailes no less. [laughter] which means of course you had to increase your body size to about the size -- russell crowe had a movie with the hbo or showtime? -- he played roger ailes and then you played as winston churchill on one academy awards. is there any thing that goes on in your mind or influence by the roles that these others occupy. >> i did not watch russell crowe and i did not watch gary oldman until the crown was all done. what can you do, lots of actors have played hamlet, i had the curious fortune, i went over to play knobby all which you market to mention when stephen fry and derek jacobi were all playing him. i played winston churchill when gary oldman and brian cox in two or three other people were plain winston churchill and now it happens, i play roger ailes and proceeded by russell

they thought it was some procedural delay which now we know it was something else, which is why i kantblicans in congress who approved that aid weren't surprised it was withheld. they should have been all over this. he did inquire with ambassador sondland, what's going on here? going back to the attempt issue. this is all about an attempt to pull off this scheme. >> back to the point where they say it actually was released without the investigation so who cares? >> congressman ratcliffe is a former prosecutor and we served as u.s. attorneys together. he's a good lawyer. i guarantee you, he has prosecuted many conspiracy to commit crimes in his career so he knows and we all know that you don't actually have to pull off the entire criminal scheme to be guilty. this is an attempt case. >> ambassador, what do you make of the sound bite i just played about hunter biden. that was the general counsel or the counsel who was asking the question on behalf of republicans and drilling down on hunter biden's lack of experience and not living in ukraine and the amount of money he was being paid and

mitchell and his successor acting assistant secretary phil reeker deputy assistant secretary george kant deputy assistant secretary a defense lawyer cooper and a c director alex binmen and many many others i have known many of them for several years it was a team effort when ambassador your vonage left keefe identified and recommended bill taylor to secretary pompei oh so we would still have a strong seasoned professional on the ground. for 2 years before the events at the heart of this investigation took place i was the most senior u.s. diplomat visiting the conflict zone meeting with victims of russia's aggression urging increased u.s. security assistance including lethal defensive weapons working with ukrainian president poroshenko and then his successor president zelinsky and their teams working with france and germany in the so-called normandy process pressing for support from nato the e.u. and oh as c.e. supporting the o. ses vessel monitoring mission and engaging in negotiations and other contacts with russian officials at the time i took the position in the summer of 2017 there w

ukraine was put on pause i believe you've testified that there may have been concern by secretary kant and by ambassador taylor that it was contributing to a potentially negative effect on u.s. ukraine relations do you agree with that or with the state department position was to advocate for the continuation of that assistance as an important element in fact a key element of our strategy to support russia support ukraine against russia my time's expired and you'll back those times thank you mr chairman thank you darwin this is for testifying tonight i'm delighted to follow mr radcliffe because he just perfectly summarized the defense that my republican colleagues are mounting of this behavior and the defense goes like this the president is acting on some deep historical concern apparently invisible concern about corruption and that because he's so concerned about corruption in ukraine he's holding up aid and being prudent in judicious the 1st part of that is pretty easy to dispose of because president trump wasn't worried about corruption in ukraine in fact in the 2 conversations he ha
