  • THAT IS THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S

  • ANGLE.

  • IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE ENDING

  • TRUMP'S FIRST TERM WHERE IT

  • BEGAN WITH THE RESISTANCE,

  • GOVERNMENT LEAKING INCOMPLETE

  • INFORMATION WITH THE WORST

  • POSSIBLE SPIN ON IT.

  • ALL DONE TO ENSNARE THE

  • PRESIDENT AND ANOTHER MAJOR

  • COSTLY INVESTIGATION.

  • BECAUSE OF WHISTLE-BLOWER

  • REPORTEDLY CLAIMED THE PRESIDENT

  • USED WITH WITHDRAWING AID FROM

  • UKRAINE TO PRESSURE THAT COUNTRY

  • INTO INVESTIGATING JOE BIDEN AND

  • HIS SON.

  • NOW, THE IRONY IS THAT THE CASE

  • TRUMP WANTED INVESTIGATED

  • INVOLVED BIDEN HIMSELF

  • THREATENING TO WITHHOLD ONE

  • BILLION-DOLLAR AID PACKAGE TO

  • UKRAINE IF SUPPOSEDLY A CORRUPT

  • PROSECUTOR WASN'T FIRED.

  • YET HE BRAGGED ABOUT IT.

  • WELL THAT PROSECUTOR WAS

  • INVESTIGATING THE COMPANY ON

  • WHOSE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, HUNTER

  • BIDEN SAT.

  • AND ALSO BOATLOADS OF CASH THEY

  • PAID HIM.

  • OH, THAT FACT THAT GLOSSED OVER

  • BY THEM MOB MEDIA TODAY, THE

  • WHISTLE-BLOWER HAS NO FIRST-HAND

  • KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRESIDENT'S

  • CONVERSATION.

  • OH, BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS.

  • >> THE ACTIONS TO DATE BY THE

  • PRESIDENT HAVE SERIOUSLY

  • VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION.

  • >> I THINK WHAT IS GOING ON IS

  • THE PRESIDENT COMMITTED SEVERAL

  • IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.

  • >> THESE HORRIBLE OBVIOUSLY

  • IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.

  • >> HE IS THE MOST CORRUPT

  • PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

  • >> Laura: NOW, HE HAS, THE

  • DEMOCRATS IF NOTHING ELSE, THEY

  • NO DRAMA.

  • CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS KICKED

  • OFF TODAY'S FESTIVITIES POURING

  • ON THE EMOTION.

  • >> TODAY, I SAY WITH A HEAVY

  • HEART, DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT

  • THE FUTURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY.

  • AND I'M NOT ALONE.

  • THE WIND THIS AND SEND AN AIRY

  • DRUMBEAT HAD THIS EFFECT ALL DAY

  • LONG ON THE MARKET.

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BF

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BR

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BE

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BB

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BT

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BO

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BI

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BG

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS BD

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS B1

  • THAT DOUBT PLUNGED 200 POINTS B0

  • AND RECOVERED AFTER THE

  • WHITE HOUSE SAID IT WOULD

  • RELEASE UNREDACTED TRANSCRIPT OF

  • THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT.

  • BUT THEN IT SUNK BACK BY THE END

  • OF THE DAY WHEN INVESTORS

  • ANTICIPATED PELOSI'S BIG

  • IMPEACHMENT ANNOUNCEMENT.

  • >> YOU CALLED FOR IMPEACHMENT

  • HITTING WALL STREET SLAMS AFTER

  • DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN JOHN

  • LEWIS CALLED TO BEGIN

  • IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST

  • THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.

  • NANCY PELOSI MEETING BEHIND

  • CLOSED DOORS WITH THE HOUSE

  • DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS WITH SPEAKER

  • TO HOLD A NEWS CONFERENCE

  • IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT

  • MEETING.

  • >> Laura: NOW, THE MOST

  • SICKENING THING ABOUT THE PHASE,

  • AND IT IS A PHASE THAT WE ARE

  • ABOUT TO ENTER, IS THAT HOUSE

  • DEMOCRATS, THEY KNOW

  • IMPEACHMENT, THE WHOLE INQUIRY

  • IS FUTILE.

  • THE SENATE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY

  • IS NOT GOING TO VOTE TO CONVICT

  • THE PRESIDENT AND THE COUNTRY

  • OVERWHELMINGLY DOES NOT WANT

  • IMPEACHMENT.

  • WHAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE DO WANT

  • IS A CONTINUATION OF WHAT THE

  • PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY DELIVERED

  • TO AMERICA.

  • PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

  • THE TRUTH IS, DESPITE ALL OF THE

  • DIRE PREDICTIONS OF A LOOMING

  • TRUMP RECESSION THAT STARTED AT

  • THE HAND OF LAST YEAR, THAT

  • SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

  • SO DEMOCRATS ARE IN AN

  • UNENVIABLE POSITION GOING INTO

  • 2020.

  • THAT IS WHY THEY COULD NOT

  • MENTION THE ECONOMY AT ALL AT

  • THE LAST DEBATE.

  • INSTEAD IT WAS ALL HE'S A

  • RACIST, WHITE NATIONALIST, AND

  • OTHER PERSONAL ATTACKS.

  • ANYTHING BUT A SERIOUS

  • DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD

  • OUTPERFORM TRUMP'S ECONOMY.

  • >> LOW, IT IS JUST A

  • CONTINUATION OF A WITCH HUNT.

  • THE WORST IN HISTORY.

  • THE STRONGEST ECONOMY THAT WE'VE

  • EVER HAD TO COME WITH THE,

  • AFRICAN-AMERICAN, ASIAN

  • AMERICAN, HISPANIC-AMERICAN, THE

  • LOWEST IN HISTORY, AND THEY WILL

  • LOSE THE ELECTION.

  • THEY FIGURE THIS IS THE WAY TO

  • DO IT.

  • >> Laura: WHY WITH THE

  • DEMOCRATS RISK DESTROYING THE

  • BEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD?

  • THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT HERE.

  • WIFE RISK HUNDREDS OF

  • ENTREPRENEURS AND WORKERS WITH

  • WAGE INCREASES OR FAMILIES WHO

  • NOW HAVE MORE MONEY IN THEIR

  • POCKET?

  • IT'S NOT JUST THE PRESIDENT WITH

  • A HINT ABOUT THAT.

  • EARLIER TODAY, NANCY PELOSI

  • INADVERTENTLY REVEALED THE

  • REASON.

  • >> WHAT IS MORE SERIOUS IS THAT

  • HE CAN'T WIN.

  • THAT IS VERY SERIOUS TO OUR

  • COUNTRY.

  • >> Laura: OH, YES HE CAN WHEN

  • MET, NANCY.

  • AND YOU AND THE OVERZEALOUS

  • RADICALS AND YOUR CAUCUS COULD

  • VERY WELL BE HELPING HIM SEAL

  • HIS SECOND TERM.

  • BEYOND THE GRANDSTANDING,

  • CULMINATING TODAY, THE DEMOCRATS

  • PROVE ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE

  • INCAPABLE OF PUTTING THE GREATER

  • GOOD OF THE COUNTRY AHEAD OF

  • THEIR OWN HATRED OF TRUMP AND

  • THEIR THIRST TO REGAIN POWER.

  • PUSHING THE NUCLEAR BUTTON OF

  • IMPEACHMENT, IT IS AN ADMISSION

  • THAT THEY ARE NOT COMPETENT.

  • NOT IN THEIR IDEAS WERE IN THEIR

DEVCON ONE.
