  • ERIC: GO TO EVERY REPUBLICAN

  • ASKED THE QUESTION DO YOU

  • BELIEVE THE TRANSCRIPT IS AN

  • IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE?

  • WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID ON THE

  • TRANSCRIPT IS NOT IN THE

  • TEACHABLE EVENT.

  • IT'S RIDICULOUS TO SAY THE

  • PRESIDENT DID SOMETHING WRONG

  • BASED ON A PHONECALL AND I THINK

  • EVERYBODY IN THE MEDIA SHOULD GO

  • TO THE THE DEMOCRATS --

  • IMPEACHMENT.

  • ERRED SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM

  • THIS MORNING TALKING ABOUT THE

  • HOUSE DEMOCRATS IMPEACHMENT AND

  • THE REPUBLICANS SAYING THIS IS

  • THE WHITE HOUSE PREPARES TO SEND

  • A LETTER TO SPEAKER PELOSI

  • REFUSING TO OPERATE WITH

  • DOCUMENT REQUESTS UNTIL SHE

  • HOLDS A FULL FLOOR VOTE ON THIS

  • MATTER.

  • REPUBLICANS CHARGING THEY ARE

  • BEING DENIED DUE PROCESS.

  • PHIL JOINS US FROM

  • RealClearPolitics.

  • YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT WILL

  • BEND UNDER WHITE HOUSE PRESSURE?

  • >> THERE'S A LOT OF STAKE IF SHE

  • DOES BEND TO THE PRESSURE FIRST

  • OF ALL IF THERE'S A FULL HOUSE

  • VOTE LIKE SOMETHING THAT

  • OCCURRED OR IN THE NIXON

  • IMPEACHMENT DURING THE

  • IMPEACHMENT OF HILLARY CLINTON.

  • THE ISSUE HERE WILL BE REPLACING

  • FRESHMAN DEMOCRATS GUYS WHO IN

  • 2018 WENT TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS

  • AND SAID VOTE FOR ME.

  • WE ARE NOT JUST HERE TO START

  • THE PRESIDENT DID I CARE ABOUT

  • THESE KITCHEN TABLE ISSUES AND

  • IF YOU HOLD THAT VOTE YOU WILL

  • BE FORCING THOSE FRESHMAN TO

  • COME DOWN ON THIS ISSUE.

  • THEY ALSO WILL RAISE THE

  • QUESTION IF YOU HOLD THAT VOTE

  • ABOUT WHAT RIGHTS THE MINORITY

  • PARTY WILL GET.

  • WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW IS

  • MINORITY LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY

  • WANTS SUBPOENA POWER AND WANTS

  • TO HAVE EVERYTHING AT HIS

  • DISPOSAL TO FIGHT BACK.

  • ERIC: REPUBLICANS ARE

  • CRITICIZING THE DEMOCRATS SAYING

  • THEY DON'T HAVE SUBPOENA POWER.

  • THEY SAY IT'S A ONE-SIDED

  • PROCESS IN THEIR VIEW.

  • IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THAT?

  • >> RIGHT NOW THE ARGUMENT COMING

  • FROM KEVIN McCARTHY AND OTHER

  • REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE AS WELL

  • AS THE WHITE HOUSE IS NANCY

  • PELOSI IS THE SPEAKER OF THE

  • HOUSE AND YES SHE HAS THAT

  • AUTHORITY BUT SHE IS STILL JUST

  • ONE ELECTED MEMBER OF CONGRESS.

  • THE U.S. CONSTITUTION REQUIRES

  • THE ENTIRE BODY TO AGREE TO MOVE

  • FORWARD AND THAT'S THE DEBATE

  • RIGHT NOW.

  • THEY WANT TO RIGHTS THAT WERE

  • AFFORDED TO PASS MINORITY

  • PARTIES DURING PAST IMPEACHMENT

  • AND THIS IS A SORT OF TECHNICAL

  • THING.

  • THIS IS THE NITTY-GRITTY THAT

  • THE VOTER CAN SAY WAIT A MINUTE

  • I'M ALL FOR OVERSIGHT BUT

  • THERE'S SOMETHING TO DUE PROCESS

  • AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE POLITICAL

  • FIGHT NOT ONE THAT IS BASED ON

  • HOLDING THE PRESIDENCY

  • STANDARDS.

  • ERIC: YOU TALK ABOUT DUE

  • PROCESS.

  • DEMOCRATS CALLING ON AMBASSADORS

  • TO THE QUESTIONS BEHIND CLOSED

  • DOORS.

  • IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY WOULD

  • SUBPOENA JOE BIDEN HIMSELF AND

  • HUNTER BIDEN AND ASK THEM THESE

  • QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UKRAINIAN

  • CONTEXT?

  • >> THIS IS A CAN OF WORMS THAT

  • WE ARE GETTING OURSELVES INTO

  • BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS

  • EXPERIMENT IN SELF-GOVERNMENT

  • IT'S ALMOST LIMITLESS ABOUT WHAT

  • POWERS CAN DO WITHOUT VIOLATING

  • NORMS AND WITHOUT VIOLATING

  • STANDARDS THAT ARE PUT IN THE

  • U.S. CONSTITUTION.

  • LOVE REPUBLICANS AT THIS POINT

  • DON'T JUST WANT TO SEE A TEXT

  • MESSAGE HERE OR TEXT MESSAGE

  • THEIR PEER THEY WANT TO SEE THE

  • ENTIRE EVIDENCE THAN THAT IS

  • CHAIRMAN SCHIFF WANT TO SEE THE

  • ENTIRE BODY OF EVIDENCE AND THEY

  • SAY HE YOU SHOULD TAKE A PLAY

  • OUT OF THE PLAYBOOK OF THE

  • PRESIDENT TO RELEASE THE ENTIRE

  • CONTEXT.

  • ERRED THE BIDEN FAMILY WAS PAID

  • OFF.

  • THERE'S NO WAY IN THESE

  • TRANSACTIONS USES SLEEPY JOE

  • WON'T GET INTO THE STARTING GATE

  • AND IS FAMILY PROBABLY EXTORTED.

  • YOU WOULD THINK THE REPUBLICANS

  • WOULD RAISE THIS ISSUE.

  • HERE IS RUDY GIULIANI TALKING

  • ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY.

  • FIRST OF ALL EVEN IF IT IS

  • UKRAINE ITS DIFFERENT ONE BIDEN

  • DID.

  • THE PURPOSE OF QUESTIONING IS TO

  • GET A CRIMINAL DESICCATION ABOUT

  • A THE SCANDAL AT THE HIGHEST

  • LEVEL OF OUR GOVERNMENT

  • UNCOVERED THAT THE WASHINGTON

  • PRESS HAD BEEN COVERING FOR

  • THREE YEARS DELIBERATELY AND

  • ABOUT WHICH THEY ARE NOW GOING

  • AFTER ME PERSONALLY.

  • THEY WANT TO GET ME, THE

  • MESSENGER SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO

  • DEAL WITH THEIR HONEY BOY BIDEN

  • HAS BEEN A CROOK OR 30 YEARS.

  • SORRY I'M A LOT TOUGHER THAN

  • HIM.

  • ERRED THAT'S PRETTY STRONG AND

  • PRETTY POWERFUL.

  • BOTTOM LINE IF THAT'S WHAT THE

  • REPUBLICAN WANTS HIS THAT WHAT

  • THEY ARE GOING TO GET?

  • AND THE PRESIDENT PERSONAL

  • LAWYER IS IN THE BUNKER AT THIS

  • POINT.

  • I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT HUNTER

  • BIDEN BUSINESS IN UKRAINE AND

  • CHINA BEFORE IMPEACHMENT AND

  • ERISA COVERED BY MANY MEDIA IN

  • WASHINGTON D.C..

  • WHAT'S INTERESTING IS RIGHT NOW

  • THERE'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER OR

  • NOT WHAT HUNTER BIDEN DID WAS

  • ILLEGAL AT THIS POINT.

  • THERE'S SOME AS A NO IT WASN'T

  • THAT THE SAME TIME IT IS

  • UNSEEMLY.

  • THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE

  • TO SEE CHILDREN OF PRESIDENTS OR

  • VICE PRESIDENTS TRADING OFF OF

  • THEIR PARENTS NAME.

  • MIGHT NOT BE ILLEGAL BUT IT'S A

  • STORY OF CRONY CAPITALISM AND

  • AGAIN AND AGAIN IT SHOWS VOTERS

  • JUST DON'T LIKE IT YOU.

  • THIS IS CERTAINLY LIABILITY FOR

  • THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN AND I IMAGINE

  • WE WILL SEE THE WHITE HOUSE

  • CONTINUED TO TALK ABOUT

  • CORRUPTION EVEN IF THERE'S NO

  • ILLEGALITY FOUND.

  • I THINK THIS HAS BEEN A SLOW

  • BURN.

  • NANCY PELOSI HAS BEEN DOING

  • EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO HOLD BACK

  • HER CAUCUS FOR JUST LONG ENOUGH

  • THAT WE SAW WITH THE MUELLER

  • INVESTIGATION, THERE WERE SOME

  • THINGS THAT WERE HIM SEEMLY BUT

  • THERE IS NO THERE THERE TO FORCE

  • THEM PEACH MINT ISSUE.

  • WITH UKRAINE WITH THE TRANSCRIPT

  • WE JUST SAW IS MUCH MORE SIMPLE.

  • BOTH ARGUMENTS, BOTH SIDES HAVE

  • GOOD ARGUMENTS TO BUTTRESS THEIR

  • POSITION BUT I THINK EVENTUALLY

  • WHAT WE WILL SEE HAPPEN IS NANCY

  • PELOSI IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD

  • WITH IMPEACHMENT AND MITCH

  • McCONNELL IS GOING TO HOLD UP

  • HIS END OF THE BARGAIN.

  • IF LOOKING AT THIS PURELY

  • THROUGH PARTISAN STANDPOINT IT

ERIC: GO TO EVERY REPUBLICAN
