this balance between patriots and loyalists. once news of the carlisle initiative gets out, does that balance change dramatically? do more folks come over to the loyalists side? >> no. but the thing that really surprised me, and i first stumbled on the peace commission in my first book, which is on british politics and the revolution, and i mainly looked at it in the house of commons. and to say they are not interested in the carlisle he's commission is an understatement. what i was struck by an my first book, and i've come back to it in my writings is carlisle's .erms that are the alternative i'm struck by the sense of givese that it actually the british because from 78-83. read about what happens in south carolina, that is the darkest moment for the patriot cause. the continental currency, never doing that well, just collapses after the fall of charleston. is the darkest moment in philadelphia. in south carolina hundreds of people, including former governors of the state, people who had been patriots, except the king's protect

this is the act of a patriot. to hear some try to denigrate this individual, the president himself, to try to denigrate this individual as some sort of a political operative, is absolutely pathetic. and i asked my republican colleagues, at long last, please have a moment of conscience. look yourself in the mirror and ask if you want to sit on the sidelines while the president tries to take down a patriot, who earned a purple heart. and compare that to the president's service to our country, the fact that he was willing to dodge the draft by getting a letter from a doctor. he's going to criticize this young man, who's doing his patriotic duty? shame on the president of the united states. >> and it's -- i mean, it's not everybody, right? you've got congresswoman liz cheney came out this morning, saying very clearly that that disparagement has to stop. but that's not everybody. i mean, i know you heard what happened on fox news last night, and even former republican congressman, sean duffy on cnn this morning, not on

he is someone who i believe in my heart is a patriot. however, i do think that he is being misled right now and he's proven himself to be a bit naive with regards to president trump. i think if he is a true patriot he should be concerned about the preservation of our republic and it is not doing it now. >> and despite the pressure from secretary pompeo, the former special envoy to ukraine kurt

it's about patriotism. it's about patriotism. and i would hope that rather than protecting the president personally, all of our colleagues would choose to honor their oath of office to protect and defend not the president but the constitution of the united states. just a few questions because we're on the floor. yes, ma'am? >> do you think this will do anything to diminish the republican white house belief that this is unfair? >> do i think it's going to diminish -- no. the facts are what they are. they've tried to misrepresent them. the fact is this is a process that has expanded opportunity for them to show anything that's exculpatory. >> republicans say that this process is not due process for the president. are these rules really fair? >> yes, they are. i answered it once. i'll answer it twice. i'll answer it one more time. these rules are fairer than anything that have gone before in terms of an impeachment proceeding. i'm not here to answer what the republicans say. if you have any questions, we're do

giving our support to lieutenant colonel who is a patriot and a decorated hero working for our country to be insulted and questioned because of his background and the fact, wel fact, well, those people are questioning his patriotism are those whose patriotism surely should be questioned. >> aku bakr al-baghdadi and isis and the kurds the world is a better place with aku bakr al-baghdadi gone. terrorist of the highest order and praise to all those who participated in getting rid of him. but we know from experience that founder of the taliban and died in 2013 we are still fighting them with their afghan partners and we fought al qaeda even without bin laden so as recent history demonstrates if anything the death of one leader allows others who share that ideology to move forward and so the battle is not over. with respect to isis, senator menendez asked a very pointed question we held last week at the senate foreign relations committee hearing. ambassador jeffrey was pulled out of retirement because of his life experience in the region and asked to lead the trumpet ministrations work to

we hope that his example of patriotism will be emulated by others. i want to say also how deeply appalled i was at the pernicious attacks on him last night on fox, the suggestion that because he's of ukrainian origin that ep has some dual loyalty. this purple heart recipient deserved better than that scandalous attack. i also want to say this because i've been asked questions about this all day as i go to vote and come back. the president would love to punish the whistle-blower. the president's comments and actions have jeopardized the whistle-blower's safety. the president's allies would like nothing better than to help the president out this whistle-blower. our committee will not be a part of that. we will not stand for that, and i would hope that more of my gop colleagues throughout the congress on both sides of the capitol would express their support for whistle-blowers who have the courage to come forward and expose wrongdoing. they have the right to remain anonymous. they certainly should not be subject to these kind of vicious attacks and othe

i don't think you should question his patriotism. a complaint and said, you know what, thank you for your patients. instead it's leaked by someone who does seem to have more of a political motive. if you went straight to adam schiff's staff, they have a lawyer and now we have an impeachment over it. one day we're going to have a democratic president -- >> mike, the whistle-blower was following protocol. >> someone may not like and they're going to -- >> mike, are you okay with a president asking a foreign policy. that's what vindman is saying he heard. nothing about policy. >> here's the thing i find interesting. i heard the president ask about the former vice president of the united states while carrying out his duties. may have been involved in corruption and we would like to investigate that. if you're not going to help us investigate it, then we need to wonder if you are our friend. elizabeth warren said she would withhold aid. this is something presidents do all the time. >> it's weird because they can come up with again. it's s

their questioning is patriotism. >> here we ever a u.s.ional security official who is advising ukraine while working inside the white house apparently against the president's interest, and usually they've spoken english. isn't that kind of an interesting angle on this story? >> i find that astounding, and some people might call that espionage. >> some who? no one who knows what they're talking about would call that espionage. it is literally vindman's job to talk to ukrainianukranians. and the foreign view on u.s. policy is the money going to ukraine is a counterbalance to russia, a u.s. foe. it's pretty easy stuff, but not for cnn contributor sean duffy. >> he's a former ukranian. he wants to make sure taxpayer money goes to -- >> why does it matter where he was born? he's an active duty military member, an american who was awarded the purple heart. >> i'm of irish descent. i still love the irish. and he has an affinity probably for his homeland. >> that is some anti-immigrant bigotry and it's an odd questioning of patriotism coming from

well some republican commentators questioned vindman's patriotism because he was born in ukraine and emigrated to the united states as a 3-year-old, others quickly dismiss that line of criticism. >> i'm not going to question the patriotism of any of the people who are coming forward. i'm not going to comment on the merits of what is going forward. >> we're talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation. who have put their lives on the line and it is shameful to question their patriotism, their love of this nation and we should not be involved in that process. >> reporter: in a rare interview tonight, the president's son-in-law jared kushner tells israeli tv that the democrats are playing silly games when it comes to impeachment. kushner also taking exception to comments from 2020 contender joe biden who told 60 minutes this weekend that having trump family members in the administration is improper. >> what is improper about that? >> it is just simply improper because you should make it clear to the american public that everything that you're doing is for them. for them.

allies of president trump attacked his patriotism. >> here we have a u.s. official who is advising ukraine while working inside the white house apparently against the president's interest and usually they spoke in english. >> some people might call that espionage. >> we also know he was born in the soviet union. emigrated with his family, young. he tends to feel sim pat co with the ukraine. >> he has an affinity probably for his homeland. >> joining us, seth moulton. he is also an iraq war veteran. good to have you back. we heard a lot of the negative. there has been pushback, noticeably from liz cheney. i'm going to play that sound. >> we're talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation who have put their lives on the line. and it is shameful to question their patriotism, their love of this nation, and we should not be involved in that process. >> we should point out senators roy blunt and john thune also pushing back on this. basically saying absolutely not. no reason to criticize this guy. i mean, just talk to us as a veteran at this point

ofyou can read, in memory the patriots who capture this fort. another interesting engagement that happened at the time, we will look at what happened at william and mary with john sullivan, who later would become in the u.s.ral army. we won't talk about his record. tops george washington for taking defeat from the jaws of victory. looking --re, we are 14, over 200 militia will gather in the town. of british have a garrison six soldiers. as the men marched toward the fort, another 150 will join. now, you have at least 350-400 men going after six british soldiers. captain john cochran is in command. they get a chance to fire some cannons before the americans enter the fort. british will, the strike their colors. the americans will accept a surrender. and does not take it by formal surrender. him to try tor defend the old flag and come rushing at the troops. in altercation ensues. pistol andls out a decides to hit him over the head. otherwise, that would've been the first shot of the revolution. you have two incidents on this road to the revolution

they're patriotism, their love of country.eterans who have served this nation. who have put their lives on the line. and it is a shame to question their dedication. and we should not be involved in that process. >> i thank him for his service, but he is wrong. >> i'm not going to question the patriotism of any of the people who are coming forward. >> it's absurd, disgusting and way off the mark. this is a decorated american soldier and he should be given the respect that his service to our country demands. >> and republican senator john kuhn of south dakota tells politico, quote, that guy's a purple heart. i think it would be a mistake to attack his credibility. adding you could obviously take issue with the substance and there are different interpretations about all of that stuff. but i wouldn't go after him personally, he is a patriot. >> as house democrats don't move forward with the impeachment inquiry, americans are split on whether americans should remove him from office. according to the late "usa today" sufficient folk

hardworking patriots, and that's un-american, and we all need to call them out and stop that. >> the president's defenders have sort of engineered a neat bit of circular knowledge in which democrats who attack the president are republicans -- >> liz cheney to her credit has stood up and i applaud her for that. we need to have more standing up and saying do not ipumpugn thes career pa career patriotic public servants. >> siit's certainly not the pla for career service, foreign service to set the precedent. as someone who worked as a lawyer for president barack obama, white house council's office, what do you say to that? >> look, obviously the president under our constitution gets to set the foreign policy of the united states, but it has to be in service of american interest and public interest. and the problem here is from congress to the executive branch, to democrats to republicans there's broad agreement the american interest is in a non-corrupt, pro-democratic western aligned ukraine. the only person who's pushing against that right now is donald trump. and if he were doing that

you know, their own idea of what patriotism means, that they would stoop to the level of attacking someone who served this country, who literally shed blood for this country, who has a purple heart, who is carrying around still pieces of shrapnel in him. it's just -- it is the most vulgar, obnoxious, disgusting thing that i have seen in quite some time. >> look, congressman stewart was on tonight, and he didn't go there. he said, no, i don't believe in doing that. but there are too few saying enough about this, and what they're doing is bad. and why they're doing it is worse, because they're surrendering to this president. this is who he is. he can say america first all he wants. i've known him most of my adult life. if you are in the way of something he needs for himself, you are in the most dangerous place in the world at that time. he'll take on any institution, any ideal, and any person if it's him or them. you may see that as tough guy. i don't see it as a leadership quality. >> but do you notice that the attacking of the process, chris -- i'm sure you do -- it keeps changing. well, l

he said i'm not going to question the patriotism of any of these people coming forward. here you had, again, donald trump and republicans trying for some time to do great violence to the whistle-blower statutes that are supposed to keep our government, you know, talk about keeping it transparent and keeping corruption out of it, and mitch talked about how we shouldn't question the patriotism of any of these people coming forward. i thought that was very significant. just as a side note, and mika would agree with me here, i've been unbelievably harsh. he had one of the more moving remembrances of elijah cummings in the capitol. think about the message. we always talk about the message that donald trump sends across the world, the bad message. think about the message this is sending to our allies across the world. if reminds me of a guy who came up to me several years ago and he said you americans, you americans get it wrong all the time. he said but in the end, but in the end it's like a hollywood movie. you somehow right the ship and end up where you're supposed to be. t

patriots like congressman jim ordan from ohio. we all owe tony perkins a great debt of gratitude for his role on the u.s. commission for international religious freedom. we at u.s. aid we proudly stand with tony and his colleagues in that mission. the assistance that u.s. aid provides to people across the world is an expression of american compassion. but it is also a reflection of our history and our values. we know that the free exercise of religion is what brought the first pilgrims to our shores. ronald reagan often spoke of his belief that america should be a shining city on a hill, an example of liberty for the rest of the world. of course he was borrowing from one of those same pilgrims, john win throp who was in turn borrowing from the gospel according to matthew. u.s. aide works on religious liberty because we firmly believe that it's not merely an american value but a uning versal one. simply put, billions of souls all around the world feel strongly that their spiritual beliefs give purpose and meaning to their lives and

many of them have defined themselves as patriotic. they're not patriotic. they are spinalless and they're not willing to step up and do what needs to be done in recognizing the danger of this president. they're willing to harm our country, and so i want all of the american population to understand who is in that senate, what they're doing, whether or not they want them to remain there if, in fact, they don't come forward. recognizing all this president has done. and the information that's going to be brought forth about him. not only on this telephone call but maybe on a number of other things. we have seen mueller's report. we know that mueller identified 10 things that really could be considered as obstruction of justice. i've always believed there was collusion with putin and the kremlin. we also know that this president has never denounced putin. as a matter of fact, he's been in secret meetings with him. nobody knows what they have talked about. why is it he's embraced putin and he feels as if putin is his friend when putin hates the united states of a

their patriotism, their love of country, we're talking about decorated veterans who have served thisline. and it is shameful to question their patriotism, their love of this nation, and we should not be involved in that process. >> joining our discussion now jennifer ruben, and edward mcmullen is back with us. and jennifer, of course congresswoman cheney did not have the courage to mention donald trump's personal attack on colonel vindman. >> no, she didn't. and where were the people when donald trump was attacking the fbi, attacking robert mueller. donald trump has done this all along. it's just because the optics got to be so horrendous they felt they had to step forward. but this is why they're in a heap of trouble. it used to be republicans way back when were the party of national security, were the party that appreciated law enforcement and now they're throwing rocks at these patriots. and i don't know how this is going to go over well with middle america. >> edward mcmullen, you know many of these republicans well, house republicans. have we found the line most of them will not

there is no way that these supporters of the president can offend his patriotism. he's not a partisan hack. and i think one of the things that everyone needs to call out is the fact that the president's supporters are impugning the patriotism of these fine hardworking american patriots and that's un-american and we all need to call them out and stop that. >> yeah, the president, his defenders have sort of engineered a neat bit of circular logic in which democrats who attack the president are partisan and republicans who attack the president -- >> frankly, liz cheney to her credit has stood up and called them to task for that. i applaud her for doing that. we need more republicans standing up and saying do not impugn these career public patriotic servants. >> ian, one of the arguments i've seen on the table that people have begun to make is that the president gets to set his foreign policy. it's not the place for career diplomats, foreign service, civil service to set the president's priorities. basically it amounts to if you're president, they let you do it. someon

my biography of mason is neither patriotic hayes nor a free fall into mason idolatry. it is a broad portrait of mason and the world in which he lived. while not skanking is vibrant intellectual life, i tried together anecdotal accounts that will bring this brilliant man to life for the public. the resulting portrait will offer a fresh and surprising interpretation, even to those best versed in the literature of the revolutionary period. i hope my book blended together the political and personal sides of mason's story, leaving one with the inevitable conclusion, george mason deserves careful and renewed focus. full historical notoriety has not been accorded to george mason. he has tended to like a multi volume to biographies that have burnished the of the founders and in my view not been accorded the fame that is due him. every fact bearing upon the character and service of mason whose visionary mental gifts help create a model form of government should receive a warm greeting from the public and those who are interested in the origins of individual freedoms. mason gras

these people are patriots. they love america. and it is the year of the boomerang. these people are going to get it back. [applause and cheers] >> thank you. mr. papadopoulos: thank you. usa! usa! usa! >> usa! usa! usa! >> we'll take just two questions and then he's going to head off to sign some books. do we have questions? where is -- mr. papadopoulos: i think a lot of people had the question about where's joseph -- >> that's one of them. could you -- i don't know if you can share about this bribe that you were given and what happened with that and where it is and a little bit of the background with mifsud? thank you. mr. papadopoulos: sure. this is a part of the story that not even the media has covered probably willfully because it changes the narrative. as i explained earlier in this conversation, if there was one country i knew inside and out it , was israel. it wasn't russia. that's where all my business used to be and that's where all my work used to be. what happened was after the fbi comes to my house, they start to question me, where i'm happy to answer a
