  • >> Sean: JUST SAT DOWN WITH

  • VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE IN

  • NEW YORK TO DISCUSS ALL THE

  • CONTROVERSY WITH THE SO-CALLED

  • WHISTLE-BLOWER.

  • WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT IT.

  • ALSO ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP.

  • HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.

  • >> Vice President Pence: I

  • >> Vice President Pence: E

  • >> Vice President Pence: L

  • >> Vice President Pence: U

  • >> Vice President Pence: R

  • >> Vice President Pence: I

  • >> Vice President Pence: E

  • THING.

  • IT'S LIKE MANNA FROM HEAVEN.

  • WE ARE NOW DISCOVERING THE

  • WHISTLE-BLOWER, IT WAS NOT

  • FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE.

  • EVEN THE MEDIA IS NOW REPORTING

  • IN SOME PLACES THAT THERE WAS NO

  • QUID PRO QUO.

  • WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

  • >> Vice President Pence: HERE

  • WE GO AGAIN.

  • THE WORST MEDIA.

  • TAKES ONE REPORT, RUNS WITH IT.

  • DEMOCRATS ON CAPITOL HILL

  • IMMEDIATELY START TO DENOUNCE

  • THE PRESIDENT BEFORE ANYBODY HAS

  • THE FACTS.

  • BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN VERY

  • CLEAR ON THIS.

  • HE MADE A CONGRATULATORY CALL TO

  • PRESIDENT ZELINSKI, WHICH WAS A

  • LANDSLIDE ELECTION.

  • THE PRESIDENT SPOKE TO HIM ABOUT

  • OUR CONCERN, INVESTING HUNDREDS

  • AND MILLIONS OF

  • AMERICAN DOLLARS.

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE IT CLEAR

  • THAT WE'VE GOT TO SEE REFORMS.

  • WE'VE GOT TO SEE HONESTY IN

  • GOVERNMENT.

  • HIS CONGRATULATORY CALL WAS ALL

  • ABOUT THAT.

  • HE MENTIONED VICE PRESIDENT

  • BIDEN AND HIS SON AND THE

  • CONTEXT OF US WANTING TO SEE

  • HONEST GOVERNMENT.

  • THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE AMERICAN

  • TAXPAYER WOULD EXPECT.

  • SEE WHEN HERE YOU HAVE,

  • VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN BRAGGING ON

  • TAPE, "YOU ARE NOT GETTING

  • $1 MILLION.

  • YOU EITHER FIRE THE PROSECUTOR.

  • WHY WOULD THE VICE PRESIDENT

  • WANT TO FIRE HIM?

  • WHY WOULD A VICE PRESIDENT OF

  • THE UNITED STATES AMERICA WANT A

  • UKRAINIAN PROSECUTOR FIRED?

  • WHAT CONCEIVABLE REASON WOULD

  • THAT BE?

  • >> Vice President Pence: IT'S

  • REALLY REMARKABLE.

  • EVERYTHING THAT THE MEDIA WANTS

  • TO ASSUME OF HOW THE PRESIDENT'S

  • PHONE CALL IN JULY WENT.

  • HE ADMITTED TO, ON CAMERA, IN

  • JANUARY 2018, HE SAID THAT WHEN

  • HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE

  • UNITED STATES, HE HAD A QUID PRO

  • QUO.

  • HE HE SAID TO UKRAINIAN OFFICIA

  • HE HE SAID TO UKRAINIAN OFFICIS

  • HE HE SAID TO UKRAINIAN OFFICI,

  • YOU WILL NOT GET AMERICAN AID

  • UNLESS YOU FIRE A PROSECUTOR.

  • >> Sean: HE'S MAKING A LOT OF

  • MONEY.

  • APPARENTLY WITH NO BACKGROUND.

  • >> Vice President Pence: OF

  • THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW.

  • TO HAVE A VICE PRESIDENT

  • THREATENING, THAT'S THE QUID PRO

  • QUO.

  • AS THE PRESIDENT SAID IN HIS

  • CONVERSATION THAT EVERYONE IS

  • VERY INTERESTED IN NOW, HIS

  • CONVERSATION WITH

  • PRESIDENT ZELINSKI, THAT HE

  • SPOKE ABOUT CONGRATULATIONS.

  • HE SPOKE ABOUT OUR SUPPORT FOR

  • THE UKRAINE.

  • HE SPOKE ABOUT OUR CONCERN ABOUT

  • CORRUPTION.

  • BUT THERE WAS NO QUID PRO QUO.

  • IF PEOPLE WANT TO SEE A QUID PRO

  • QUO, THEY JUST WANT TO SEE THE

  • TAPE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN.

  • OVER $1 BILLION.

  • >> Sean: I WOULD SAY

  • BLACKMAIL.

  • AM I WRONG ON THAT?

  • >> Vice President Pence: SEAN,

  • I CAN TELL YOU, THIS IS A

  • COUNTRY THAT WAS OVERRUN BY

  • RUSSIA.

  • IT'S A COUNTRY THAT IS STILL AT

  • WAR.

  • THEY STILL HAVE, WE BELIEVE,

  • RUSSIAN ELEMENTS THERE.

  • THEY ARE TRYING TO LITERALLY

  • TEAR THE UKRAINE APART.

  • FOR VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO

  • REFUSED TO GIVE MILITARY AID TO

  • UKRAINE, TO THREATEN WHAT

  • REMAINED OF THAT AID UNLESS THEY

  • RESPONDED TO HIS DEMANDS ABOUT

  • FIRING A PROSECUTOR, WHO AMONG

  • OTHER THINGS WAS INVESTIGATING

  • THE COMPANY HIS SON SERVED ON

  • THE BOARD OF, LOOK, THE AMERICAN

  • PEOPLE JUST DESERVE TO KNOW THE

  • FACTS.

  • WHAT THEY CAN BE CONFIDENT OF IS

  • THAT THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS

  • THAT ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATION,

  • THE PRESIDENT'S CONVERSATION,

  • WERE ALL BASED UPON PROPER

  • CONSIDERATIONS OF HOW WE SUPPORT

  • UKRAINE, HOW WE SUPPORT THEIR

  • EFFORTS TO END AN ERA OF

  • CORRUPTION IN THEIR GOVERNMENT

  • AND ADVANCE THE INTEREST OF

  • THEIR SOVEREIGNTY.

  • THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT

  • TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

  • THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT

  • HAPPENED IN 2016 AND HAVE A

  • RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THE

  • CIRCUMSTANCES WERE AROUND HAVING

  • A SITTING VICE PRESIDENT

  • THREATEN TO WITHHOLD AMERICAN

  • AID.

  • LOOK, AGAIN, THE IRONIC THING IS

  • THAT EVERYTHING THAT OUR CRITICS

  • IN THE MEDIA ARE LEVELING AT

  • THIS PRESIDENT FROM THIS PHONE

  • CALL.

  • EVERYTHING THE DEMOCRATS ON

  • CAPITOL HILL ARE RUNNING OFF AND

  • DESCRIBING COME OF

  • PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN BRAGGED

  • ABOUT, WHICH IS LIQUID PRO QUOTE

  • ABOUT, WHICH IS LIQUID PRO QUOT.

  • >> Sean: WOULDN'T HELP THE

  • PRESIDENT TO RELEASE A

  • TRANSCRIPT?

  • >> Vice President Pence: THAT

  • WOULD BE A DECISION FOR THE

  • PRESIDENT TO MAKE.

  • CONVERSATIONS WITH LEADERS

  • AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE

  • CANDID, THAT ARE OPEN.

  • FOR LEADERS TO BE CONCERNED IN

  • THE FUTURE THAT A CONVERSATION

  • THAT THE PRESIDENT MIGHT MAKE

  • ITS WAY INTO THE PUBLIC, WOULD

  • UNDERMINE THE ABILITY OF THE

  • PRESIDENT TO HAVE THOSE

  • DISCUSSIONS IN THE FUTURE.

  • SO ANOTHER PRESIDENT WOULD LIKE

  • TO DO IT.

  • I KNOW HE'S LOOKING AT ALL THE

  • CIRCUMSTANCES.

  • BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN BE

  • CONFIDENT THAT THE PRESIDENT
