THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. >> THANK YOU. >> Martha: YOU LISTEN TO THE INTRODUCTION, CHUCK SCHUMER, SENATOR SCHUMER SAYING DON'T STAND IN THE WAY OF JOHN BOLTON TESTIFYING. JERRY NADLER SAYING THIS AND IT IS ALSO ON TRIAL HERE. WHAT DO YOU SAY DO THAT? >> I SAY YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF POLICIES -- POLITICIANS TRYING TO DESTROY TRUMP SINCE THE DAY H TO DESTROY TRUMP SINCE THE DAY E TO DESTROY TRUMP SINCE THE DAY G TO DESTROY TRUMP SINCE THE DAY T ELECTED. CHUCK SCHUMER IS NOT LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH. HE'S TRYING TO BECOME THE MAJORITY LEADER. EYEWITNESS WHETHER DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES WOULD DO WHEN IT COMES TO THE TRUMP AGENDA, THEY TRIED TO DESTROY BRETT KAVANAUGH AND THAT BLEW UP IN THEIR FACE AND THIS WILL BLOW UP IN THEIR FACE. JOHN BOLTON IS THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO CALL HIM IN THE HOUSE. WHAT THEY DID IN THE HOUSE, THEY DENIED THE PRESIDENT THE ABILITY TO CALL WITNESSES ON HIS OWN HALF. THE COUNCIL WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CROSS-EXAMINE WITNESSES. NOW THEY WANT THIS AND IT TOOK ALL THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR. THE SECRETARY OF STATE, A WIMPY DIRECTOR AND CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. ANY PRESIDENT WOULD CLAIM EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. THIS IS NOT ABOUT GETTING TO THE TRUTH BUT TRYING TO MAKE REPUBLICANS TAKE HARD BOATS. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE DUE EVIDENCE, THE NEW EVIDENCE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD EVIDENCE. THIS CAME OUT ON RACHEL MADDOW SHOW, YOU ALREADY NEED TO KNOW, THIS LEV PARNAS KAI IS FACING INDICTMENT. HE HAS BEEN DRIFTING NOW TO THE HOUSE UNTIL COMMITTEE WITH PATCHES OF INFORMATION CHRISTIAN ENDING TO THE WEEK WE START A TRIAL. I SMELL A RAT, THE GUY IS AS CROOKED AS A SNAKE AND WE WILL NOT SLOW DOWN FOR TRIAL. >> Martha: THEY ARE JUST SAYING, WHY NOT DO IT AGAIN? IF THAT IS THE CASE AND ALSO WITH REGARD TO JOHN BOLTON, SINCE THAT TESTIMONY IN THE HOUSE THAT JOHN BOLTON SITE IF HE WAS SUBPOENAED, HE WOULD COME FORWARD AND TALK. >> IT IS A PRIVILEGE OF THE PRESIDENT, NOT JOHN BOLTON. THEY COULD PURSUE JOHN BOLTON IF THEY CHOSE TO. IT HAD TO BE DONE SO QUICKLY WE COULD NOT ALLOW THE PRESIDENT TO INVOKE EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. NOW THEY WANT JOHN BOLTON TO COME FORWARD AND THE SENATE TO DESTROY EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. ANY PRESIDENT WOULD CLAIM EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE OVER THE TESTIMONY OF SECURITY ADVISOR. THEY DIDN'T EVEN SUBPOENA JOHN BOLTON AND THEY EXPECT US REPUBLICANS TO DESTROY PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PRIVILEGE. WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT. WE WILL BASE OUR FOE ON THE HOUSE RECORDS. >> Martha: I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, THERE WAS A HUGE RUSH TO GET THIS OVER TO THE SENATE, TO WRAP IT UP, NO TIMED WITH THE COURT SYSTEM AND ALL OF THAT. OBVIOUSLY, ALL VALID POINTS BUT SOME OF THE POINT YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE MAKING INCLUDING CHRIS CON, PRESIDENT CLINTON, PRESIDENT NIXON DIRECTED CLOSE ADVISORS AND CABINET TO COOPERATE WITH THE INVESTIGATION. AS I KNOW YOU ARE ON RECORD FROM JANUARY 1999 IN THE CLINTON TRIAL THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE WITNESSES CALLED. IF YOU TAKE THEM OFF THE TABLE IN THE SENATE, THE NEXT JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY MAY LOSE THE CHANCE TO PRESENT THEIR CASE. YOU REMEMBER THE REST OF IT. HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT? >> VERY EASILY, THE PRESIDENT COOPERATED WITH MUELLER. HE SENT HIS PERSONAL DON McCANN TESTIFIED IN THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION. I DON'T BLAME THE PRESIDENT NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE HOUSE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY. I SUPPORTED MUELLER. I GAVE HIM THE SPACE HE NEEDED TO WORK. >> Martha: THIS IS A DIFFERENT CASE. >> THAT DON'T MAKE NO, WHAT I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS A PARTISAN IMPEACHMENT AND IF I WERE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES COME I WOULD NOT COOPERATE AT ALL WITH THESE PEOPLE UNTIL THE COURT SAID I HAD TO. SO THEY IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT CAN IMPEACH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE HE DARED TO GO TO COURT. I NEVER SAID THAT A PRESIDENT HAS TO WAIVE EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. THE HOUSE CHOSE NOT TO ALLOW THE PRESIDENT TO GO TO COURT. INSTEAD OF ALLOWING HIM TO GO TO COURT TO LITIGATE THESE ISSUES, THEY IMPEACHED HIM FOR HIS DECISION TO GO TO COURT. I HOPE WE REJECT THIS SOUNDLY BECAUSE IT IS A DANGER TO THE PRESIDENCY AS TO THIS NEW WITNESS. THE GUY IS FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES. WHAT IS HE ALLEGING THAT HE TRIED TO CONTACT UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS TO SET UP A MEETING BETWEEN RUDY GIULIANI AND THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE. ANTIPHON FOREIGN MINISTER SAID ABOUT UKRAINE, I NEVER TALK TO HIM AND I DON'T TRUST HIM. THIS WHOLE THING IS A JOKE. I SMELL A RAT. >> Martha: SENATOR, LET ME PLAY THAT SOUND BITE THAT YOU MENTION BECAUSE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING. >> I NEVER SPOKE WITH RUDY GIULIANI AND FRANKLY, I DON'T TRUST ANY WORK. >> FRANKIE, WE DON'T NEED THIS.
