we, in the obama administration, and president obama himself, viewed having diverse talent around the national security decision making tables, to be itself a national security imperative. and the reason is, whether you're in government or in the corporate boardroom or in the nonprofit sector, all the studies show that better decisions derive from more diverse decision makers. and the evidence is irrefutable. and when it comes to national security, when you're interacting with peoples and countries and issues that are so complex and involve the entire world and we have literally the most diverse country on earth. we have people here from every corner of the earth with every perspective and every language and if we're not harnessing that talent, we're dealing with the world's challenges with one hand tied behind our back. and so, we pushed hard to change that, to have real data collected, real metrics about hiring and retention, and to enlist the leadership of the agencies who are extremely willing to participate in this enthusiastic, to join in that effort. and it was a substantial an

i want to talk about how in the senate hearings she was prepared by the obama administration to be anassador in ukraine and they brought up, she didn't, the obama people brought up how she should handle it if some republican might bring up the issue of hunter biden making 50 -- now i'm hearing $83,000 a month. what does it tell you about the obama administration and their knowledge of corruption in ukraine? >> it means they were aware of it. they briefed their ambassador nominations to help cover up for it or have an excuse for it. and they were perfectly okay with it. the same questions congresswoman stefanik was prepared to ask were the ones the obama administration prepared her to answer during her confirmation. how can you be the', the obama administration going back many years was involved if not covering up the corruption in ukraine. the same corruption president trump was rightly trying to root out. judge jeanine: kent, the other witness was concerned about biden. when yovanovich was asked if obama gave it money, she said no, trump gave the money. >> not only did trump give the

did the obama administration provide lethal weapons? >> no, sir. >> they provided mres and blankets and things like that. in your deposition you also said president obama's objection was because it might provoke the russians and in fact you testified in your deposition that the obama administration didn't have a good argument since russia had already provoked and they have invaded ukraine. is that correct? >> that's correct, sir. >> it's a shame he didn't take the advice of combat veteran like you, sir. someone who understands what deterrence provides, because a lot of ukrainian lives could have been saved. if he had taken your advice. in your deposition you said, and i quote "happy, you were happy with the trump administration's assistance" and it provided both lethal and financial aid. did it not? >> it did, sir. >> and you also stated that it was a substantial improvement, is that correct? >> correct, sir. >> so now we're providing what kills russians tanks. mres and blankes do not do that. today you said i was beginning to think the

>> that is correct. >> that is more so than the obama administration, correct? >> the trump administration. >> with respect to lethal aid? >> yes. >> and in the transcript of the president's july 25th call with president zelensky, president zelensky tells trump they are ready to buy more javelins. this, indeed, the most effective weapon for fighting russian armor tanks; is that correct? >> that is correct. >> those javelins were not made available to ukraine under the obama administration? , the javelins were not made available. >> they were not. >> correct. shifting gears to corruptio corruption. >> one of the themes here today is rooting out corruption which is an important part president provide taxpayer funded aid to foreign countries. mr. kent, you would characterize ukraine as having longstanding corruption issues, correct? >> i did. >> in fact, you testified, quote: i would say that corruption is part of the reason why ukrainians came out to the streets in both 2004 when somebody tried to steal the election and again in 2014 because of a corrupt pro-russia

the strong support came with this administration, not the obama administration, not the obama administrationeant when he told russian president medvedev that he had more flexibility after his election. maybe that flexibility was to deny lethal aid to the ukraine? allowing russia to march in and kill ukrainians? again, in your deposition you are urged the obama administration officials to provide lethal weapons to ukraine in order to deter further russian aggression. now, they have that under this administration, don't they? they have the javelins, yes sir.” administration, don't they? they have the javelins, yes sir. i would like to yield the remainder of my time to mr ratcliffe. no pressure, no demands, nothing corrupt, nothing. nothing on the call. that is what we heard president zelensky say, and the charges against president trump have repeatedly and consistently been denied, you have heard the defence now, from chairmanship, he is lying because he has to. he has to lie, because the threat, the demands, the distortion that house democrats are alleging, if he didn't do that, he couldn't p

she wrote an op-ed defending the obama administration sending snuggies.he has a relationship with the state department and the deep state. those connections with well known. these people all knew each other. fiona hill said she believes steele's information, he was playing them and probably trying to make a few bucs. i can't emphasize enough the witnesses against donald trump in the impeachment trial are key players in hiding ukrainian efforts to spy on the trump team. the nellie ohr source in ukraine. she swears poroshenko is her source. he appears in the do not prosecute list. why yovanovich? the same players. judge jeanine: everything they accuse the president of, they are guilty of. you point one finger, four point back at you. dan bongino. thanks so much. carter page joins me in a few moments. new details on hunter biden and those pesky connections. fox news contributor john solomon with new information next.

did the obama administration provide lethal weapons no sir they provided m.r. eason blankets and things like that in your deposition you also said president obama's objection was because it might provoke the russians and in fact you testified in your deposition that the obama as a bomb administration didn't have a good argument since russia had already provoked and they have invaded ukraine is that correct is correct or. it's a shame we didn't take the advice of a combat veteran like use or someone who understands what deterrence provides because a lot of ukrainian lives could have been saved if he had taken your advice in your deposition you said and i quote happy you were happy with trump administration's that assistance and it provided both lethal and financial aid did it not it did sir and you you also stated that it was a substantial improvement is that correct that's correct so now we're providing jaylen switch kill russian tanks emery's and blankets do not do that today you said i was beginning to fear that the long standing u.s. policy of strong support

the nonwhistle-blower is a deep state holdover from the obama administration. ties to joe biden, look at tonight's "washington examiner." he's actually a guest of sleepy, creepy, crazy joe at a lunch in 2016 to honor the prime minister of italy. by the way, what was the relationship to john brennan? number one trump hater of them all. did anyone from the obama administration encourage him to file this complaint and get involved in these activities, where did he get the thirdhand material? it's perfectly obvious what is going on here, it's not our first rodeo. the whistle-blower is not some kind of concerned government employee. he looks very partisan, he looks like a hack who hired a hack partisan democrat hate rage drop attorney with ties to biden and worked for trump hater brennan and other top democrats. maybe that's why he hired the impeached trump after ten days attorney to be his attorney, maybe that's why he coordinated with the congenital liar, may be and likely that's why he and schiff desperately don't want him to testify because they would have to an

the trump administration is reversing the obama administration approach to the israel settlement. they have been inconsistent over the decades. and978, the carter administration categorically concluded that israel's establishment of civilian settlements was inconsistent with international law. in 1981, president reagan disagreed. he said that he did not believe the settlements were inherently illegal. subsequent administration thought it could be an obstacle. in december, 2016, at the very end of the previous administration, secretary kerry changed decades of this bipartisan approach by publicly reaffirming the supposed legality of settlements. studying allly sides, this administration agrees with president reagan. the establishment in the west inconsistent with international law. we want to emphasize several important considerations. that this must depend on the circumstances on the ground. the united states government is expecting nothing on the individual status. the israeli courts have confirmed the legality of certain settlement activities and it has concluded that others can'

and those javelins were not made available to your crew to ukraine under the obama administration the javelins were not made available they were not correct. shifting gears to corruption one of the themes here today is that of rooting out corruption which is an important tool for the president as we provide taxpayer funded aid to foreign countries mr kent you would characterize ukraine as having longstanding corruption issues correct i did and in fact you testified quote i would say that corruption is part of the reason why ukrainians came out to the streets in both 2004 when somebody tried to steal the election and again in 2014 because of a corrupt kleptocratic pro russian government which eventually collapse the ukrainians decided enough was enough is that your testimony to remain so and you testified that you 1st came to learn about greece in 2015 when you were the senior anti-corruption coordinator correct correct detailed to the embassy and he was the acting deputy chief of mission and you testified that the issue of corruption in bristol was in the u.s. interest because quote a

the obama administration will have committed crimes on par with if not worse than watergate. no wonder president trump wants a trial in the senate, despite everything he's been through web's clinging to the notion of justice. he believes fairness will prevail and the only way to clear his name is to put it all out there and let the american people decide. because that is the american way. joining me right now with reaction, former fbi special agent, john iaanarelli. did the democrats play into putins' hands? they were feeding christopher steele all kind of garbage to feed this lack of legitimacy to the administration. >> it's been that way for years and it's foolishly bern ignored by the opposition from years ago and we are dealing with that problem again today. they will wants to continue to interfere with our operations and hurt the united states. trish: we are learning there was an fbi lawyer, according to the "new york times," his name was kevin klein smith. he was a low-level fbi lawyer who clearly had no love for donald trump. we have a text we can share with you that t

maybe they wanted to buy influence with the obama administration because remember the obama administrationot give the ukrainian government the military ornaments necessary to defend themselves against the russians. why don't they look into that, it sounds like a perfectly logical point. when the president of the united states said you might want to look into it, what in the hell is wrong with that. he also said you might want to talk to the attorney general about it. he's going to commit a crime and bring the attorney general into it and remembered the president of ukraine said i do not feel pressure at all and they did not launch an investigation against biden and no link to military and in no link to a meeting and no announcement of any kind. what the hell are we doing here. i will be right i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. the amount of student loan debt i have, i'm embarrassed to even say. we just decided we didn't want debt any longer. ♪ i didn't realize

and the federal authorities were overwhelmed and the obama administration asked a few governors if we would shelter those childrenwhile they were being processed by the refugee laws . to me, that was a pretty straightforward decision. for both patriotic reasons and frankly for reasons of faith . this country has given refuge to vulnerable children for centuries, for centuries. one time we didn't, when we turned jewish children back and it's been a blight on our national character and reputation ever since. it's important to remember america is great when we are good. my faith tradition also teaches me that you welcome the stranger. that we treat each other the way weourselves would like to be treated . but even so, i knew i would be called everything but a child of god when i announced what our decision would be that we would offer welcome. well, you can imagine i was called everything but a child of god on social mediaand hate radio . so the saturday after i made that decision public, i had an unusually sort of easy schedule and a beautiful spring morning and my wife of 35 years dian

but he told that to the obama administration and to the press and public and told numerous members of congress but yet when it came down to what he didn't do it and for somewhat obvious reasons now which is not back then but he sensed that there was another current in his caucus that will come after him if he made that move so i get that. but tip o'neill is somewhat similar figure to the day he was viewed as old-school in the 18 eighties and viewed by the proponent of democrat and having fights with ronald reagan over taxes and viewed by some as not willing to do with reagan. but tip o'neill likes john boehner so the immigration reform and control act not once or twice but three times literally pulls the bill off the schedule at a time when it could pass. i must say i thought during that 2013. what are we not doing that we could add more pressure to the left cracks but what were we offering and in there be nothing if we played it differently. but i do believe we did not play all the cards that were in our hands. someone going forward as if we are serious about reform not necessarily a

none of that happened during the obama administration. senator john mccain was very outspoken on the meals ready to eat that had been sent to ukraine. that did get released in this administration. now, there was a hold on it, which we have heard a lot about today. to characterize the whole of ukrainian policy against russia it clearly strengthened during the trump administration. just one other point on george kent. george kent in his testimony testimony, his closed door testimony, pointed out that he had expressed concerns and he mentioned this earlier as well that he was concerned about hunter biden's role at burisma and the kind of conflict of interest that it might create or at least a conflict of interest that it might create and we would expect at some point in sort of the defense side here that we are about to hear from we may hear questions with regard to that as well. bret? >> bret: martha, you know, you bring the opening of this hearing and the contrast between adam schiff's opening statement and devin nunes' opening statement c

the obama administration will have committed crimes on par with if not worse than watergate. no wonder president trump wants a trial in the senate, despite everything he's been through web's clinging to the notion of justice. he believes fairness will prevail and the only way to clear his name is to put it all out there and let the american people decide. because that is the american way. joining me right now with reaction, former fbi special agent, john iaanarelli. did the democrats play into putins' hands? they were feeding christopher steele all kind of garbage to feed this lack of legitimacy to the administration. >> it's been that way for years and it's foolishly bern ignored by the opposition from years ago and we are dealing with that problem again today. they will wants to continue to interfere with our operations and hurt the united states. trish: we are learning there was an fbi lawyer, according to the "new york times," his name was kevin klein smith. he was a low-level fbi lawyer who clearly had no love for donald trump. we have a text we can share with you that t

they is that the obama administration only provided blankets so ukrainians should be grateful even after being shaken down by the trump administration. but the truth is miss cooper, is that under the obama administration, the european reassurance initiative one, hundred and 75 million dollars were provided for u.s. taxes to ukrainians, is that correct? >> sir, i don't have that figure but the figure we typically use is to say we provide at 1.6 million dollars today. but i don't have to break down in front of me. >> the obama administration also had five military battalion's is, that correct? >> again, i don't have the figures in front of me but the training program began in the obama administration and we did train forces. >> under the obama administration founded ukrainian security assistance initiative provided the ukraine's were armored tactical drones, night vision devices, armored vests and medical equipment. is that correct? >> it all sounds like pieces of equipment that were provided in the obama administration to my recollection. >> that's a lot more than blankets right? >> yes s

argument against providing ukraine with lethal military aid which was the ultimate policy of the obama administrations russia invaded ukraine and crimea. not only invaded crimea, but took crimea without so much as a whisper of protest from president obama or for that matter, fiona hill. perhaps hill forgot last year a ukrainian court ruled two ukrainian officials middled in the 2016 american election, leaking a ledger to former campaign chair paul manafort. congressman jim jordan clearly laid out more facts to dispute hill's claim. >> we all know russia meddled in the election. but that's not to say ukraine' can't try to interfere. mr. poroshenko said the vast majority of the ukrainian politicians wants hillary clinton to win. is that on the same level as russia? we never alleged that, but it still happened. through * house republicans on the committee remained unified. each of schiff's witnesses haven't witnesses anything and republicans made that clear to the american people. they have been unified and much to the credit of their minority leader kevin mccarthy. joining us, house minority leader, ke
