every single time it goes back to mike turner's question. did anybody on the planet? the answer is no. i think we have the facts before us. i do not know how anymore people they want to try to bring forward. every time they do, it goes right back to the case that the president did not make conditions. he released the money and ukraine did nothing for the money to be released. i know the moment they got sworn in, i know the parties in the basement when they had their own personal friends, when they told them what they really wanted to accomplish, that they wanted to accomplish impeaching this president. nothing about drug pricing. nothing about making our economy stronger. i know when they sat in a conference, they voted on a new chair of oversight, when they had those votes before were normally any congress would take up impeachment, the platform for who they chose in that campaign, the one who won, his platform said he would be the very best chairman for impeachment. not to deal with all the other jurisdictions of the committee. that is why this is all they focused o

lou: congressman mike turner took aim at career diplomat david holmes' interest in protecting ukraine>> in your testimony you said that sondland said he loves your ass and said he will do anything that you want. mr. holmes, that information had nothing whatsoever to do with the subject matter of any of these hearings. it was even he can dotal, extraneous. your statement that your interest on protecting ukraine are very dubious when you embarrass president zelensky by making those statements he didn't have to make. who cares that ambassador sondland said that. you embarrassed zelensky. you know he got asked this question in his own country. and people are hearing that statement. it's totally dubious. lou: congressman turner make an important point and doing so with considerable passion as you notice. and rightly so. facebook considering new ways to limit narrowly targeted political ads on their platform. facebook. you have got to love them. no you don't. the change would prevent political campaigns from targeting any more than a few thousand people. google says it will no longer allow

first up, congressman mike turner. >> no one on this planet told you that president trump was tying aid to investigations. tyes or no? >> yes.ne >> you really have no testimony today that ties president trump to a scheme to withhold aid from the ukraine in exchange for these investigations? >> other than my own presumption. >> which is nothing. >> i think that could have been my favorite line but that was a moment the whole quid pro quo narrative came crashing down. second, there was a congresswoman who adam schiff could not silence. breakout g.o.p. star congresswoman elise stefanik. >> ambassador yovanovitch, i want to thank you for being here today -- >> congresswoman you are not recognized. >> this is the fifth time you have interrupted. >> laura: she just kept going it was terrific. the third person who should become graduated and speciallyly recognized, house intel ranking member devin nunes who has been out at this for some time and he perhaps sums it all out. here's what the impeachment sham is all about. >> what you've seen in the last two weeks is a show trial. the verdict was

mike turner, a member of the house committee involved in the impeachment investigation is voicing someoncerns, but the president's actions with regard to the ukraine after hearing from a number of these witnesses. >> all of that is alarming. as i said from the beginning, this is not okay. the president of the united states shouldn't even in the original phone call be on the phone with the president of another country and raise his political opponent. no, this is not okay. >> jamie is with me from washington. jamie, you talked to so many republicans. you have sao many sources. is this an indication that the seeds of doubt are creeping into the minds of people. >> more than the seeds of doubt. i'm laughing at the word not okay. because they really do speak volumes about what's going on. republicans are, i am told, over and over again inning creacreas concerned and uncomfortable. whatever the substance of whether this is up to impeachment is yet to be decided. these have been such impressive witnesses. from the state department, these career officials, and when the president goes on twitt

he did not actually talk to the president about that and we showed that clip of mike turner having thatcussion with him and pushing him specifically on that point. caller: what did the president say? host: we show the president yesterday as well. he said there was no quid pro quo in his conversation with sondland. we played that clip as well. debbie in ohio, good morning. caller: good morning and how are you? host: i am doing well. caller: we watched the hearing yesterday -- actually for the .ast five days everything i watch, most of your witnesses were "i believe," "i feel," "my opinion or come where are the -- "my opinion." where are the people that actually know? why is it when the news reports this, it is never what they say? i like the republicans. i voted democrat when obama was in office. the second term, i regretted it. i really like trump, i like what he is doing. the reason i voted for him, he is not a politician and what we are seeing on capitol hill is a joke. host: that second panel yesterday -- it was early evening when they finally got and david hale, the undersecretary o

that's not the same as evidence of a crime, as congressman mike turner explained. >> dr.ill, you have provided me the greatest piece of evidence that's before us to illustrate the problem with hearsay. so, you said based on questions and statements, i have heard, no matter how convinced we are, dr. hill, no matter how much we believe we know that what we've heard is true, it is still just what we've heard. >> tucker: so democrats had a response to turner. they didn't produce better evidence. that would be too simple. they called him a sexist. congressman sean patrick maloney protected hill saying she was the victim of mansplaining. >> dr. hill, that was some epic mansplaining, and i want the assembly to know it was inappropriate. i respect your forbearance. >> tucker: what a total mediocrity of that guy is. tammy bruce is not mediocrity, just the opposite. one of our favorite to get tammy bruce on fox nation, she joins us tonight. what do you make of that? it doesn't seem to be an argument. it seems less than that. >> it's less than that. what i will do here is i will do

. >> so republican congressman mike turner spoke with our jake tapper and this is what was said. >> allis alarming. as i said from the beginning, i think this is not okay. the president of the united states shouldn't even, in the original phone call, be on the phone with the president of another country and raise his political opponent. no, this is not okay. >> so what does this mean when there were members of the republican party who are willing to go at least that far and say that? >> well, the part of the strategy here is to say we don't agree with this, but it's not impeachable. the president is a little frustrated with that strategy. he wants a strategy which says everything is okay, because he's concerned that even that creates a window that could move this firther. ultimate -- further. ult maimately the republicans a trying to make sure he doesn't get impeached. >> margaret talev, thank you so much. appreciate it. >>> we have so much ahead in the newsroom, but first here is this week's "staying well." >> i was obese, pre-diabetic. i also had high blood pressure. i felt like i nee

mike turner had an exchange with ambassador volker today. >> the president of the united states everyou that he was not going to allow aid to the united states to go to ukraine unless there were investigations into burisma, the bidens or the 2016 elections. >> no, he did not. >> did the ukrainians tell you they understood they would not get a meeting or phone call with the president of the united states or military aid or foreign aid unless they undertook investigations of burisma, the bide's and the 201 elections? >> no, they did not. >> you took apart their entire case. >> senator, that doesn't even come a smidgen close to the charge of bribery. >> this is a boring reality show that would not get a second season. they don't have due process. the on person who has been transparent in this is donald trump. adam schiff hasn't been transparent. he won't let republicans call witnesses. this is america. don't we get to have due process. you get to talk to your accuser, ask questions. but not in adam schiff's america. he acts like he's in communist china or venezuela. david: that's where

i think that mike turner, johni radcliff, jordan did a good job showing that the only direction thatassador sondland got from president trump is that president trump did not want anything, he just wanted zelensky to fulfill the commence in the campaign to clean up the country. they just did not sit well withd permanent washington and that's why the show goes on. >> tucker: so would you say that's really the take away? this is a debate about the policy? cloaked in a lot of high-minded language, designed to hide the ball from the rest of us. but really they don't like what donald trump wants to dobu with american policy towards ukraine and russia. >> it's the worst kind of groupthink, the show's an enemy of. you see an element merge, and all of a sudden, you get the sense that all of their beliefs are then the president's beliefs and they can go, say, well, i surmised some conclusion on the global stage and because some weeks ago, i spoke to the president, in fact, it's my belief that this ought to be the case in the administration standpoint. reality is far different. i think gordon s

. >>> let's listen to your republican colleague in the house, congressman mike turner. >> you guys wante the laughingstock of history to impeach a president of the united states because he didn't take a meeting? please, god, undertake that. >> you have -- >> we've drawn a line. we've made this president to feel he's not vulnerable, not invincible. that process started 2 1/2 years ago when we began talking about impeachment. you'll notice the big change. in his first six months, when he wanted to commit a crime, he just did it on tv. now that he wants to abuse our remgsship with the ukraine, he at least has the good sense to do it secretly. so he knows he's not invulnerable. the old president trump would have just tweeted -- zelensky get me good dirt on biden our you'll never see your aid. this president send rudy giuliani to send this message, all trying to keep it secret from the american people. he tried to keep it secret, because he knew it was wrong. >> i'm confused. a, is it any better to do it in a roundabout way with giuliani, and b, if the accomplishment you say the democrats ha

i think that mike turner, john radcliff, jordan did a good job showing that the only direction that ambassadorondland got from president trump is that president trump did not want anything, he just wanted zelensky to fulfill the commence in the campaign to clean up the country. if they just did not sit well with permanent washington and that's why the show goes on. >> tucker: so, would you say that's really the take away? this is a debate about the policy? cloaked in a lot of high-minded language, designed to hide the ball from the rest of us. but, really, they don't like what donald trump wants to do with american policy towards ukraine and russia. >> it's the worst kind of groupthink the enemy is shows an enemy upgraded nissan element of washing merge, and all of a sudden, you get the sense that all of their beliefs are then the president's beliefs and they can go, say, well, i surmised some conclusion on the global stage and because some weeks ago, i spoke to the president, in fact, it's my belief that this ought to be the case in the administration standpoint. reality is far different. i t

representative mike turner had a novel approach to his questioning. >> ambassador you testified aboutr of things that you heard. isn't it possible that the things that you heard were not true? you could be wrong, correct? and they could be wrong, or they could be mistaken? right? so you could be wrong. >> stephen: so that's their best argument? "maybe there is no reality. uh, maybe everything is just an illusion created by an evil genius to deceive us about the nature of the universe. maybe we're all stardust where there is no up or down or right or wrong or high crimes or misdemeanors. thin, then, republican-- nothing can be known! nothing can be known. then representative representative john ratcliffe shared this ironclad defense of trump's ukraine call. >> what did president zelensky actually do to get the aid? the answer is nothing. he did nothing. he didn't open any he didn't call attorney general bill barr. he didn't do any of the things that house democrats say that he was being forced and coerced and threatened to do. >> stephen: so trump got caught before he could force zelen

according to "politico," congressman mike turner of ohio refused to answer questions about the tweetss he ducked onto the house floor, while congressman john ratcliffe quickly whipped out his cell phone and began talking into it even though his home screen was visible and there was no call in progress. republican congresswoman liz cheney of wyoming told the associated press president trump was wrong to post tweets saying she quote clearly is someone who has been a public servant to the united states for decades, and i don't think the president should have done that. and perhaps the strongest definite of trump's actions, ted cruz of texas wrote on twitter that quote, this may be the single most ridiculous claim of the dems show trial. the president's tweeting is not witness intimidation. you may not like the tone of some or many of his tweets but it's absurd to suggest that tweeting is an impeachable high crime or misdemeanor. >> i think even his most ardent supporters have to honestly admit this was the wrong thing for the president to do. the president and perhaps some at the white h
