let's hear the case from matt schlapp.od to have you, sir. >> great to be with you. >> help me understand what is wanted now and why it is the fair and right thing to do. >> what is wanted now is that we would have a congress that would focus on the policies they ran onto get the majority in 2018 and that's what we should be focusing on. instead i think -- >> in terms of impeachment. >> i think congressman green said it the best, if they don't impeach him, he might just win again. when it comes to impeachment, let's get it started. you go down to the floor of the house of representatives, just like republicans did with bill clinton, with some democrats voting for them by -- voting with them, by the way, and they started -- why is that vote so important that the republicans took against bill clinton on the floor of the house of representatives? because it sets up the process because the constitution tells us this is the legal way that you can take a president and actually put them through a legal process about claims that t

with reaction, radio talk show host larry elders and matt schlapp. you get the ball.ere's what i'm throwing at you. well, it is what it is. i think this backfires on them. here's what's missing though. we've got to be careful. what president will ever be able to confidently talk to a foreign leader when you have deep state operatives that are undermining his foreign policy and his ability to be commander in chief by leaking information like australia prime minister, mexico president, or ukrainian president -- this is not good for the country ever. >> it is not. sean, i'll never forgive you for making me watch that clip of joy behar to prepare for the interview. i really agree with the cnn intel analyst, but on the day the whistle-blower story broke, he told a stunned chris cuomo, i am about to blow my gasket not at trump but at the whistle-blower for he said the president should be able to have conversations with his counterpart and heads of other states without somebody "stitching on him," and cuomo was gob smacked. he said i used to be on these phone calls, the pres

american conservative union chair matt schlapp. let's start with where we are if we can. i guess they want me over there. let's start with where we are. dan bongino, i'm looking at all of this last night and i'm thinking i think the winners donald trump because americo says i don't -- i don't pick americans are going to believe, the going to do the simple basic math and they will understand 94 trillion, 36 trillion. it's not sustainable. >> it's not. i'm glad you said it. there were no winners last night. i frame it as losers and bigger losers from last night. there were no winners. i'm glad that you have been harping on the elizabeth warren line. the american people need to hear. if you believe in numbers. i know that liberals don't. they've been vaccinated at an early age against facts and numbers and data. she is lying to you. lying. not a misdirection. forget the euphemisms. she's lying to you. your taxes are not only going to go up with her government takeover of the health care system, they are going to go up dramatically. here are the tricks she's pulling. she sang

keep from getting it. >> there's also nothing in the constitution that says they have to do what matt schlapp is saying and what other republicans are saying. >> no, schlapp was a little schlappy tonight, a little sloppy with the arguing. i like to have him on the show. it's important to have that voice. but the republicans changed the rule that guide how subpoenas are done, and the house has to do nothing. and the rights that he wants are present in a trial, not in the investigatory phase. >> yeah. well, you got it. listen, i got to tell you, this poll for me, especially coming from fox news and from republicans, registered voters which includes republicans, that is a very big deal. i'm not sure if the tide is turning, but this poll, i think people are watching the polls to see exactly what happens. >> look, politicians do that. i would argue they should not. i would argue they're not just an echo, but it does show that it's getting traction. you will see the president respond to that. he's very responsive to feedback. but it still keeps pressure on the democrats. impeachment was not suppose

i'm not sure if you were just listening to that exchange, but you heard matt schlapp say something herells. what do you think to that? >> well, i think that matt was trying pretty hard to find something there to defend the president. look, the president's already admitted to a lot of this stuff. even if you were to believe everything matt just said and there was something not quite right in what the bidens did, it doesn't in any shape or form excuse the president of the united states asking foreign entities to functionally intervene in our political processes. that is unquestionably something that the founders and everybody else didn't support. so i don't really see how that argument's going to hold a lot of water, but if that's the best they can do, congress this thiss going to 'em well for the president of the united states. >> just using the word if there was corruption at any point in time and that's what the president is trying to get to the bottom of right now, don't you think that the american people should know and want to know that, deserve to know that? >> yeah. i think that's

there's lots going on including your interview with matt schlapp. that's for another time. and this new fox poll, 51% of registered voters want up nine points from july. ta that's something the white house and president should be troubled about. as far as the stuff with joebid troubling. >> that's shy of the trump base. it being fox news is relevant and good for them to putute number luke that. this is a good play for trumpests to say what's the crime? i can argue all day it's not what impeachment was contemplating but it still sounds good and that could be a that says they have to do what he's saying and others are saying. >> schlapp was sloppy with the arguing. it's umpoimportant to have that voice but republicans changed the rules and the it houses to the do nothing and the rights he wants are present in a trial, not in the investigatory phase. >> well, you got it. i got to tell you this poll for me, especially can coming from fox news and from republicans, registered voters that includes republicans, that's a very big deal. i'm not sure if the tide is turning but people

ed henry, chaffin's matt schlapp, and richard goodstein. look, everyone's a hypocrite. no one is a perfect person. but this goes beyond that. we are talking about not just the blackface controversy, not just the lynching word they are outraged about one minute. they said 5 minutes ago. this is about a fundamental contradiction and core beliefs on key issues like trade, even china. even deporting criminals in the united states. one needs to be in favor of. they all flipped. the party moves left, but more so in office because trump is in office. >> a great angle which i completely agree with what you said. the other thing is can you imagine liberals using the cia and the intelligence community -- >> laura: another thing. >> can you imagine liberals running a thermal impeachment process that doesn't give the president any rights -- richard nick sandmann got more rights and he committed dozens of wrongdoings. this hypocrisy goes right to the moment as well. >> laura: the left rightly was very suspicious of government institutions spying on american americans. yet we find th

much, much more is judicial watch president tom fitton and american conservative union chairman matt schlappthank you for joining us. i've got to go to you first. you just put this information out. what did the ap do according to what you been able to see in trying to manipulate an investigation into paul manafo paul manafort? >> just before mueller was appointed, they met with andrew weissmann who was a senior justice official and the bottom information including the codes to man up manafort 's storage locker. that was helpful. and they say to them, go back to cyprus and make sure they gave us all the information we need. so you have the ap going in, giving the justice department information to target manafort -- mainly to get trump, obviously. the ap reporters according to this fbi memo of the media meeting with wiseman andrew weissmann,can there be at prosecution? can you tell me whether it can be enforced? they are pushing charges on this american citizen! on what planet is it ethical for generalists to do this? and the weissmann assigning them to contact the foreign government to get di

before the political question, matt schlapp? >> this is right, sean. you have is correct.u look at the last election, you could say democrats picked up a lot of seats and a majority in the house of representatives and that they connect on a couple of issues like health care and stuff where we had stumbled a bit on trying to repeal all of obamacare. and they had their opportunity to show the american people what their agenda was. do you know what their agenda was, do nothing but have a fishing expedition to find any scandal they can on donald trump. they are transfixed with this idea that they don't bring trump down with bacon pony scandals that they won't win. they know if they don't win, donald trump can transform the country. why? we would have eight years of him have him reckitt ralph to the deep deep state and the swamp that has caused so much pain to people around the country. we need this change and we need four more years of it. >> sean: good to see you both. we have the big announcements tonight. i think you'll be entertained by this. also elizabeth warren said she

there's lots going on including your interview with matt schlapp. that's for another time.

matt schlapp is the american conservative union chairman, and capri cafaro is a former democratic ohiori, i'm wondering, is he saying this because it would keep elizabeth warren off the campaign trail and in washington, in front of the cameras? wedded to the idea of impeachment? and he has just fallen from the frontrunner status, according to the most recent polls. what you think? >> i think what you've just laid out there, melissa, is very interesting. at first blush, all i was thinking is that joe biden is trying to do two things. one, trying to get into the progressive fray. two, make a mark defensive position. obviously his name has been dragged through sort of the court of what democrats are talking about with impeachment right now, with ukraine issues, and president trump trying to somehow get information about joe biden by calling on officials of the ukraine. that said, i think you bring up an interesting point. elizabeth warren's sitting united states senator. someone who would have to sit through hearings and actually asked the questions. but i think that then begs the questio

. >> sandra: for more on this let's bring in leslie marshall and fox news contributor and matt schlappof american conservative union and former white house political director. matt, i'll start with you first. the gop's nightmare. they're retiring at a fast pace in texas and elsewhere. we've talked about that. where do your concerns lie this morning? >> look, i think every time you see one of these senior republican congressmen like greg walden just announced yesterday retiring. it gives jitters to the republicans in the house because it is one more seat that they may have to worry about depending on the caliber of the candidate. i have a much different view, sandra. i actually feel positive. if pelosi and schiff have the fake impeachment process where the president and his lawyers are shut out of the process and don't know the rules of the game it is likely it boom ranges on the democrats and the republicans will have a good night if they continue down the stupid path. i hope they stay on it. we'll get the benefit of it. >> sandra: the 19th gop house member to not seek reelection. a li
