i carried out the policy of the united states government and rooting out corruption in ukraine. i never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with ukraine. no one has indicated i had. we have always kept everything separate, even when my son was the attorney general of the state of delaware, we never discussed it. there would be no potential conflict. >> harris: did you hear the silence? democratic contenders not even speaking up. joe biden taking questions last night about his son's business dealings in ukraine and whether it is a conflict of interest. biden repeatedly has said he did nothing wrong. he did again last night.

we seek it in his pulling much of the united states government into his corrupt schemes, individuals in the united states government, his appointees. but we have to remember that impeachment is not only about what the president has done. it is about the threat the president poses to the nation if allowed to remain in office. one think about this president is absolutely clear that one thing about -- one thing about this president is absolutely clear, and i don't think anybody can contradict this. he has seen no limits to his power, regardless of what the constitution says. he believes the entire united states government can be corrupted into furthering his personal political needs. he is even willing to hold congress and congressionally appropriated aid to a foreign nation hostage to his personal political demands. he believes if he does something, it is legal, period. and perhaps, most importantly, he believes there is nothing we can do about it. he believes he can and will get away with anything he does. we all laughed when he said he could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and sho

everybody is going into real estate deals with the trumps who want something out of the united states governmentave listed several possible ethical concerns about selling it. you still, though, think that's better than continuing to operate it, correct? >> well, that certainly has violated the emoluments clause every single day it's open. so president trump needs to do something. he should have sold it three years ago. but if he can find a buyer who is going to pay a fair price who doesn't want something from the united states government in return, all right, let's see him do it. but if he sells it to somebody who wants a quid pro quo, who is trying to destroy the environment, who wants a defense contract or whatever it is, that's going to create more controversy. but donald trump is in a lot of trouble that has nothing to do with that hotel. and it looks like he may get impeached. that's part of what's going on here. i think he just wants to minimize the controversy as best he can. >> we'll see. we'll see what happens there. that is playing out on its own course. but there are people who are sp

now we have a president who has basically sidetracked the official policy of the united states government as it relates to russia in ukraine for his personal political benefit. we have a president who has run his businesses and his children have been making millions and millions of dollars while he's president, and this president has the gumption to criticize hunter eer biden because he we a board in ukraine. we have a president who calls the media is the enemy of the people. he uses language i would ground my two daughters for a month for using and yet my republican colleagues to just grin and bear it because this is somehow okay. i was there for eight years of the obama administration and he would have been impeach pd ten times before lunchtime for anything i just mentioned this president does on a regular basis. >> let's go to robert in michigan. reb caller. hi, robert. >> here's why the american people don't understand and don't believe the democrats or republicans and who's lying and who's not lying because the women you had earlier she said there was no confidential information on t

australia, italy, close intelligence partners of the united states that it would be relatively normal for certain agencies in the united states government to work with certain agencies to try to find out information about and ongoing investigatio. but it would be something that is very carefully and closely monitored and coordinated among ls the agencies and it would not be something of course that the president of the united states would be talking about here. and absolutely would not be about a political rival or anyone construed such. >> like the fbi would deal with an investigative agency in another country, the cia might deal with the intelligence community in another country, the treasury department might request information. but it doesn't generally play out like this because we've never -- we can't imagine this playing out. we haven't seen anything like that. >> absolutely. this is completely unprecedented. and when it comes to president trump, this falls into the category again of shocking but not surprising unfortunately. this is now the third country i guess since 2016 that the president has publicly asked for help in trying

he believes the entire united states government can be corrupted into furthering his personal politicalnd congressionally appropriated aid to a foreign nation hostage to his personal political demands. he believes if he does something, it's legal, period. and perhaps most importantly, he believes there is nothing we can do about it. he believes he can and will get away with anything he does. we all laughed when he said he could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot someone and get away with it. it's no joke. he's shooting holes in the constitution and we can not let him get away with it. [ applause ] >> all right. big moment there, joe biden in new hampshire just moments ago for the first time saying that president trump should be impeached, which is something that other 2020 candidates have said before. i want to bring in jackie to talk about this. so this is significant because he's saying it, but a lot of others have said it before. >> as you said, biden has resisted this. it's been, you know, perhaps taking the side of democrats who weren't really sure yet of what they wanted

the fact of the matter is they are using the united states government the to promote the trump resortted states, mulvaney and everyone else lying to cover it up. this is unacceptable. >> thank you both. i appreciate it. we'll be right back. m about to f of the ivory billed woodpecker. what??? no, no no no no. battery power runs out. ent income from tiaa doesn't. no, no no no no. guaranteed monthly income for life. nooooo! the rut. it only happens once a year, when the bucks start chasing does. and it's time for you to start chasing the bucks. for the next two weeks, this is where you'll be because this is what you live for. it's your season. so hurry to bass pro shops and cabela's for huge savings on the gear you need from top brands like redhead, cabela's, and blackout. the go hunt sale is going on now. but family can only tell you sot much... about your history. i found some incredible records about samuel silberman... passenger manifests, census information, even wwi draft registration cards. the records exist... they're there, they're facts. that made it so real for me, it wasn't

list for government agents but we would be fooling ourselves if we didn't think that the united states government had a history of turning surveillance technologies against these kinds of communities we have seen it with everything from license plate readers which scan vehicles to social media surveillance that the people who are disproportionately targeted by american governments and local and federal governments are people of color they are immigrants and we've seen black lives matter tracked and we're seen ice the immigration and customs enforcement agency deployed these similar kind of tools right now so it's really important and that's what it's really important to act and defend ourselves right now and that's exactly what san francisco and now a domino effect of communities are going to do with this particularly dangerous technology. i'll say to the same in the u.k. i mean i just i just want to point out that even in the trial phase in the k. police have been using facial recognition against peace activists not the most dangerous people. and people with mental health problems as well so we

you have the entire power of the united states government behind you. if she was doing whatever, investigate. you have fbi, cia, everything in the world. a politico article from january 20 17 -- go do it. if she was breaking the law -- of course, we heard ad nauseam, ad infinitum about the stupid emails, but i'm just saying as someone who has seen this before, let me tell you, trouble is coming. they will not lose three democrats on impeachment vote. if you look at the way these senators are acting -- sean, you have a big role to play here. you've got to bring some strategy to this. you cannot put mick mulvaney on tv. god's sake, nobody likes him. that's not good. could you imagine in the middle of all this, david kendall is gallivanting around with two goons? y'all got to get a team in place. see all these pro-trump people here? they want you to fight back. they want you to get organized. they want you to take it to them, not fooling around with broad guarantee and all that stuff. these guys are ready to fight. you got to give them some leadership. >>

i carried out the policy of the united states government.t corruption in -- in ukraine. what i wanted to make a point about -- and my son's statement speaks for itself. what we have to do now is focus on donald trump. he's going after me because he knows if i get -- if i get the nomination, i will beat him like a drum. >> as you said, your son hunter today gave an interview, admitted that he made a mistake and showed poor judgment by serving on that board in ukraine. did you make a mistake by letting him? >> my son's statement speaks for itself. i did my job. i never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with ukraine. no one has indicated i have. we have always kept everything separate. brian: hunter basically admitted he wouldn't have gotten the job and place on the board if he didn't have that last name. he said he was the most qualified person on that board polish president and other investors. no way he was the most qualified person. most of the jobs he got were because of his dad's connections. a lot of people

the president of the united states, the secretary of state both on the same phone call, one guy listening in to go after the new government of ukraine. what's this focus about? is this prior to the united states to get dirt on biden? is that the priority of our government? >> it clearly is a priority of the president to get cooperation on the investigation he's interested in. there was a report today he also asked boris johnson of the u.k. to cooperate on this investigation to determine whether the mueller probe was legitimate or not. he's fixated on proving the mueller probe was in fact a hoax as he liked to say, and he's fixated on joe biden, absolutely, and he's looking for information. now if there was allegation tuesday be pursued you'd think they'd be pursued by law enforcement officers, not the president of the united states who has a political street in it. >> secretary of state mike pompeo confessed today he listened enon trump's july phone call with president zelensky. here he goes. >> was i on the phone call? the phone call was in the context now i've been secretary of state for coming on a year and a half. i k

this is the president instead surreptitiously working against the united states government against thetes policy positions of the united states government and policy positions with bipartisan backing in congress working actively against those interests and also adding in his own corruption and saying, while i'm pursuing mr. putin's interest in crane i'm going to see what i could get out in terms of dirt on my political opponents again and once again that alignment with orban and putin and trump he's claiming his place with the leaders that are frankly a -- an anthema to our interests. >> and at the same time as rudy giuliani was trying to sell this toast -- this totally unsubstantiated conspiracy on behalf of the democrats to weaken president trump. >> they are trying to push aside the career diplomats and career professionals in the intelligence community and the people that know what they're doing and trying to run this sort of fake kind of inept diplomacy and semi undercover operation with these people and they are quite frankly out of their league. they're susceptible to being man

flip of a switch. >> so one of the things that became very apparent was a desire by the united states governmentrt case against a terrorist organization. >> and headquarters wanted the material support statute to be used as a vital tool in our fight against terrorism, but they had to show it could work. >> the case progresses and i was getting communications from the highest levels of the fbi. bob, when we going to take this do un? when are we going to make it? there was a concern even if a small attack took place, are you telling me that the fbi knew a hezbollah cell was operating for four years and you did nothing? >> and i felt just like any other criminal enterprise case, that you had to have an insider. we needed somebody that could talk about the dynamics within the group and we needed somebody that could definitively say money was going to hezbollah. i found out that the core group got together on sunday afternoons and played soccer in the park in charlotte. so i went to the park and they were some players short, and i managed to get an invitation to play. i spent the afternoon kicking a

middle of, that she was caught in, where she was trying to be the official voice of the united states government in ukraine as is her job, and assist them in their anti-corruption efforts and foster anti-corruption efforts, and ever since september 2018 there was this campaign that she described that the deputy secretary of state had told her about to get her removed. >> yeah. >> based on these allegations that she was somehow disloyal. >> she does mention that in her opening statement, and tom, back to you as you are urging everyone to read it. i read every word and wanted to highlight one graph towards the end. she had said this morning, today we see the state department attacked and hollowed out from within. state department leadership, what congress needs take action to defend this great institution and said i fear not doing so will harm our nation's interesting, perhaps irreparably and, tom, what would that harm look like? long term? >> well, it is definitely long-term harm that has already been inflicted. it is not irrecoverable. a serious leadership at the state department can restore the

>> they would have to be arguing they were conducting the official business of the united states governmentthe president of the united states. that is what they would have to claim. the president's personal activities, whether representing him as part of giuliani's efforts to represent him as personal lawyer, that would be not be executive business. they would have to be claiming they're doing the business of the united states. in a strange way this sort of supports some of the stuff we've been hearing coming out of congress. >> andrew, as we all have learned by now, executive privilege, that's got to be invoked by the white house, you can't claim it yourself, but the idea to the investigators' mind say that these guys say, yeah, we were working for the president, we were helping him. >> it's amazing. so if you think back about the indictment that these two are currently facing, that indictment doesn't touch upon any business of the president, doesn't refer to the president or refer to rudy giuliani in any way. so by throwing this theory out there, they are actually grabbing mr. giuliani an

nicolle: could you imagine working in the united states government again? mr. comey: no. no. but i think there are lots of ways to be useful to your government and country without working in the government. i never thought i was coming back after 2005 and the struggle over surveillance and torture. i thought i was done. i did not apply to be fbi director. they called me and talked me to come in to be interviewed. -- they are not going to pick you anyway.
