Capitol hill record of selfcontradiction. His testimony was full of hearsay, conflicting accounts, ambiguity and contradiction. Discovered missing in the 20some odd pages of his Opening Statement were the word of the president. Something that went to the heart of the hearing. Something President Trump declared today rendering the dimms impeachment inquiry to be over. Sondland recalled a phone conversation he had with President Trump. I believe asked him, what do you want from ukraine. I keep hearing these ideas of theories. What do you want . It was a very short, abrupt conversation. He was not in a good mood. An just said i want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Lou he wants nothing, he wants no quid pro quo. End of story. Should be end of hearing, end of impeachment inquiry. We all know it wont be. That would make too much sense. Sit would be too honest a conclusion. As sondland himself said earlier. Hes not a friend of President Trump. What kind of friend would leave out such exculpa for i ex culpa tore i statements. Onland led his testimony with a contradictory Opening Statement. In those remarks he explained was indeed a quid pro quo between the white house and ukraine. But as was plaster any point out by congressman john ratcliffe, his testimony was based on his perception and sensitive feeling and no facts. Its been reported in the papers this was blockbuster testimony about quid pro quo and new evidence. On the part that relates to military assistance. You dont have direct evidence from President Trump on that. Thats your 2 plus 2 equation. Correct. You understand also that others disagree. Yesterday we heard from mr. More on and ambassador volker they testified they didnt see a quid pro quo. Reasonable people could look at all of this and come to different conclusions. Correct. Lou other parts of sondlands testimony were quickly shot down by three federal government agencies. Vice President pences office ws an alleged conversation about ukraine investigation, the Vice President s office said they it never happened. The department of energy said sondland lied about secretary perry, interactions and socalled conversation with rudy giuliani. And the state department saying ambassador sondlands testimony that he was barred from accessing his documents in the state department was also false. That he had absolute access. And the list frankly goes on. Joining us tonight is mark short, the chief of staff for the Vice President. Mark, first of all, good to have you with us. This an extraordinary moment in hearing history to see one witness of his standing, ambassador to the european union, contradicted by the state department, by the energy department, by the office of the Vice President. What in the world has happened here . Well, thanks for having me on. I think this is ones more chapter in this crazy book on impeachment. Its been going on not just the last few months. Its been going on ever since donald trump won elections in 2016. Its been three years an endless investigation now we an i am neevment pursuit of a crime. I was in the Vice President in poland for the entire time. There was never a moment when ambassador sondland was alon with the Vice President. Nobody recalls any conversation with sondland suggested today that he had in that environment. So its dismissed by our office. But the greater shame is whats actually not happening in congress today. Its not just promises democrats made to work with the administration on infrastructure or drug prices or usmca. Tomorrow the president will be forced to sign another continuing resolution to keep our government open because they havent passed the most fundamental right to fund our government. In that bill is a pay raise for our military. The democrats are having impeachment hearings over delaying funding for ukraine. And in the bill that needs to be passed they are tying up to dome peachment hearings has funding for ukraine. Lou the usmca between the u. S. , canada and mexico is far larger than the United States and china. For nancy pelosi to adamantly refuse. Its stunning to watch this unfold because the president and the Vice President i must say on the road today, i think i saw his schedule, two separate events today, the president going off to texas as well. I mean, they seem to be the only ones in this government working perhaps the judiciary i should take a greater count of, but ill give them an exemption today. The Vice President was in wisconsin where theed a the admin surprised created tens of thousands of new jobs. And usmca is vital to states like wisconsin. Its important to open dairy markets. As you know from polling today, in wisconsin, support for impeachment continuing to decline and new polling has President Trump leading all Democrat Contestants in wisconsin which is a remarkable data point to whats happening in the backdrop of these impeachment hearings. Lou we are looking at a poll from politico asking, do you support the impeachment inquiry. That number opposing among independents continues to rise. The democrats are losing perhaps i think most of us could argue, the independent vote here will be the most important in 2020. The polls showing 47 outright opposed to this farce. Ways your judge the about the impact of the way this inquiry as the dimms like to refer to it. How is it going and how is it going to play . I think our nation is pretty polarized. But i think what most americans cant tolerate is congress pursuing an effort to overturn the will of the American People when an election is less than a year away. They are not doing things Americans Care about. What accomplishment can the democrats point to. When they traveled the country they said well pass new healthcare legislation. Well work with the administration to lower drug prices. Well work the administration to pass structure. Well work with them to pass trade deals. They have nothing to show since 2018. Here we are and all we are doing is more endless investigations. I think the American People are tired of it. They are frustrated. They look at the record of this administration and they see alltime low unemployment. 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. 7 million jobs created since this president was elected. The markets at an alltime high. The president doing more to secure our border and growing our military. The record is not something they can run against. Voters will be frustrated when they have nothing to show for the time they have been in power. Lou the president s record is historic and overwhelming electorally and the democrats understand that, and this is their sorry last resort. Mark, thanks for being with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Mark short. The operation driving the rise of chinas remarkable economy. China owes you a thank you because its all come at the expense of the american taxpayer, working men and women. Yes, Corporate America and wall street as well. They have some shortterm profits, but the longterm cost has been overwhelming. Well take that up with the secretary of the navy. Richard spencer joins us tonight. The leftwing national media, puppets of the radical left. They are supporting the latest farce impeachment hearing. Look at these headlines. I think today changed everything. The blow torch testimony this morning. Taking a blow torch to every defense donald trump offered. I cant emphasize how explosive this is. Ambassador sondland exploded all the defenses you expect the republicans to mount. Lou blow torch and explosive. It must have been some testimony. Well show he all of that and much more.

The economy booming, the markets booming and so is confidence in the trump economy. And remind tore listen to my reports coast to coast on the salem radio network. Congressman jim jordan cutting through it owlr all and through ambassador sondlands claim of a quid pro quo and he did it in spectacular fashion. When did it happen. When did what happen. The announcement . When did president zelensky said the investigation was going to happen. As in your Opening Statement. The answer is yes there would be a Public Statement from president zelensky. When the chairman asked about the Security Assistance dollars you said there needed to be a public announcement from zelensky. When did that happen . It never did. It never did. They got the call july 25, but they got the money on september 11. When did the meeting happen again . Never did. Do you know who was in the meeting he which meeting. The meeting that never happened . Who was in it. Do you know how zelensky announced it . Did he tweet do a press statement or press conference . Do you know how that happened . You have got all three of them wrong. They get the call, they get the meeting, they get the money. Its not 2 plus 2. Its 03. Lou with that you wrapped up adam schiffs socalled impeachment inquiry. The joke is on the radical dimms as they attack this president and attempt to overthrow him. Joining me, congressman scott perry, member of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Your colleague, jim jordan put on a bravera performance and took sondland down to the souls of his shoes. This is pitiful. The dimms were beside themselves with glee talking about quid pro quo before that. Sure they were, lou. The blow torch is there are more presumptions. Thats the blow torch you just referenced. Ambassador sorndland, nice guy. He says hes got questions. Lets sort all this out. I will call the boss. He makes the call specifically to the president to sort it out. He said for his testimony ill ask an openended question. Mr. President , what do you want from ukraine. He said i want nothing. He said that doesnt square with what i heard. He just hangs up the phone and continues to presume all of these rumors are incorrect. The one place where he has direct knowledge and evidence that adam schiff has is ambassador sondland talked to the president and said what do you want and the president said i want nothing. I want him to do the right thing. I want him to do what he ran on, stomping out corruption. Lou were even you shocked when adam schiff took a break 0 go out and hold a press conference claiming basically victory over President Trump and raising his spear high with a war cry that we have know choice now but to impeach the president of the United States because we have sondland who has had almost none of his testimony correct or unchallenged made that horrible lapse in his opening testimony. Right. Thats exactly right. Why would we be surprised biabout adam schiff doing about adam schiff doing this . Then he did exactly what hes accusing the president of by collaborating with people from russia that we have posing as ukrainian on a telephone call about dirt and trump. Then he comes in fronts of the American People and lies about what the president said on the telephone call. Then he says he doesnt know anything about the whistleblower. So of course we expect it from adam schiff, year used to it. He just made things up. Lou there are is within this something of an explanation for his conduct. But some context that we should attach here. And that is, the ambassador to the european union, sondland, acknowledging that his family is being threatened, the left is attacking him everywhere it can webs from oregon, his hotel is there apparently being boy cod. Demonstrators are trying to intimidate this man. When adam schiff stood there and talked about how he was going to be the great defender of ambassador yovanovich, he didnt say a word about defending sondland at all. Even though he is obviously under immense personal pressure and i think perhaps that pressure explains some of his extraordinary lapses and contradictions. We believe ambassador sorndlands attorney is an expert at perjury traps and i think thats not by happenstance. He understands that adam schiff and company, they can destroy everyone around the president. So they are right to be careful with these people because they dont care whose life they destroy in pursuit of their goals. They want toned this presidency under any means that they can. Lou i think they are ending any chance their party no matter how remote, might have been able to be competitive in the 2020 president ial election. I dont think any fairminded american watching this ignorance from the radical dimms will do anything but support the president they attempted to carry out subversion against since he announced he would be running for president. Its always good to see you. I thank you for giving us part of your time. Its exactly right. They were voting for impeachment before they saw the evidence or heard the testimony. They just cannot thats mayor platform now for the 2020 election. Impeachment. Thats their platform. Lou scott perry, thank you. We would like to hear your thoughts on all of this. There is a lot of all of this. Follow me on twitter loudobbs, follow me on instagram loudobbstonight. Fred fleitz and Robert Jeffress among our guests tomorrow. We hope you will be with us. The American People are seeing right through the radical dimms impeachment farce. And well show you the numbers that prove just that. That and much more.

So you have no testimony that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold aid from ukraine in exchange for these investigations. Other than my own presumption. Which is nothing. Lou which is nothing. As congressman turner made very clear. Nothing. I love the way he said it. It turns out there was something in little rock, arkansas. Dna testing apparently established with scientific certainty that joe bidens son son hunter is the father of ayearold child in arkansas. He had the child are a 28yearold woman most likely while she was living in washington, d. C. But thats pure speculation. The president s campaign congratulated Vice President biden on his new grandchild. Thats the latest development on that story. A new gallup poll find President Trumps Approval Rating has risen to 43 . The same Approval Rating he had in september before this socalled whistleblower complaint set off the radical dimms impeachment inquiry farce. So hes doing better with it than the dimms are. Joining us republican strategist and savant ed rollins. Was that mean of the Trump Campaign to send joe biden a congratulatory hes a busy young man. His father doesnt want to pay much attention to what he does. Hes a womanizer. Hes make millions from an Energy Company he knows nothing about. Obviously he has problems and his father will have problems too before itles all said and done. Lou it appeared sondland stepped in it a bit because he was not in any way doing anything other than suggesting the president had a quid pro quo in his presumption. Adam schiff calls a press conference to tell the people of the press how wonderful a day he was having. Here are some of the resultant headlines if week see those, please. If we can see those, please. The New York Times saying Gordon Sondland leaves us with no other option. The case is simple, and the evidence supporting impeachment is now crystal clear. Politico, quote, a real bombshell, democrats seize on sondlands quid pro quo charges. Cnn, five takeaways from Gordon Sondlands bombshell testimony. The washington post, Gordon Sondland just made this scandal a whole lot bigger. The daily beast, Gordon Sondland just made provides the john dean moment of trumps impeachment. And guess what. It all blew up in their face. Idiotic witness. He had no business being involved in any of this stuff. At the end of the day lou that doesnt give them the right to trips through the tulips with nonsense. He twisted himself 14 different times. My sense is by the end of the day there was no case to be made, but he put headlines out early on and the reality is i still say if they think as the chairman said, we have him on bribery. What has trump gone the out of this . Basically nothing. They got their money,er going to get their meeting. It sounds like everybody is a damn lawyer. The fact of the matter is its b. S. This is pure nobody sense. The American People understand that. They dont need fighting the u. S. Code and all of that crap. The polls are starting to show the president s numbers going up. Lou if they say its 43 , you know its 63. Gerald ford says impeachment is whatever 218 votes say it is. Lou but the fact of the matter is there is still the American People and they know this is pure horse maneuver piled high and adam schiff is the one with the shovel. Unfortunately a couple of our people stumbled through this thing. Lou which people. Some of the witnesses. The republicans on the panel have been extraordinary and put out all the hypocrisy. The Lieutenant Colonel lou i dont think you can call him our people. The story thats not told is the person he reported to was the whistleblower who had the same job he had on the security council. The reality is he will be out before long. Lou i love adam schiff basically outing the whistleblower yesterday. So i think the president has gained by this because there is no there there. Our republican side has done a superb job. Lou i think devin anyones has certainly been has stood tall in all of this along with many of his colleagues. This is noonan on hunter bind, the whistleblower, the republicans and what their intentions are. We dont have it . No time . Thats a shame, im told by our producers hes been relieved no. Ed rollins.

This morning we transmitted a letter exercising our rights to subpoena documents and witnesses.

You will see our Carrier Strike groups on the moved to keep the maritimes open for the global trade. Lou the secretary of defense saying its not the United States who wants a cold war with china, but china continues to be threatening in its rhetoric and expansive to say the least aggressive in the south china sea. Is it your judgment at this point that they wanted a cold war themselves, the chinese . Lou, i always say there is a place for china at the global table of commerce and life in general. If in fact they acknowledge an orderbased society. To date they have not. So we are in competition with china. Its an interesting competition. Unlike the cold war we had with russia. China is a Major Trading partner of ours. That being said we need a whole of government approach which is what we are attempting to do here when we are dealing with china because the competition is immense. We have to take department of defense, commerce, its a allgovernment approach. I dont know that most americans realize how depleted the military, the u. S. Military was as a result of the i would call it the passivity of the Obama Administration over the course of 8 years and of course how expensive the military and i will call it adventurism of previous administrations were, whether it was the middle east or in stations around the world, taking on such an onerous burden for reduced forces whether talking about ships, aircraft other Service Members of our nation. Your thoughts . Lou, ill tell you when i arrived august of 17, our Services Never say no. They are the most resourceful people we have out there. We are lucky to have all we have. We have flown the wings off the planes, we have sailed the bottoms off the ship. Through the help and guidance of President Trump and Congress Giving us the money for the 2017 raa and two budgets 18 and 19 were back in good place. Your United States navy is ready to deliver the fight tonight. But it took a lot of repair and its expensive. There is so much to restore. Its true. There is the recapitalization that goes on everybody day, and the modernization we have to do to keep current to keep our technological and physical gap ahead of our competitors. Lou an issue that is near and dear to your heart, taking on the issue of our federal Retirement Agency and the idea that suddenly well open up for half a trillion dollars of retiernltd one of the s. Federal employees for investment in china. Give us your thinking. We all know what china has been up to. The very interesting thing about socialistic community and a communist organization is they publish their plans. And china has published where it wants to be by 2049, and the technologies it needs. It has been picking unblind for many many years. One of the things we gap them on is the depth and breadth of our amazing Capital Markets. We have let them come in here, china in particular and have access to these Capital Markets almost giving them a benefit above the companies that list temperaturer. They have preclusions for listing and regs. Pcaob which is our overlook organization for accounting has 43 organizations that would be in this index that it cannot bring up to their standards and we are letting this happen. But the investment of the federal retirement the decision to open up the index to include these chinese companies, i have to question their fiduciary responsibility. Our kids money will fund the weapons that will come back at them. Its absolutely ludicrous. Lou i commend you for picking up the fight. I think you cannot be more correct. God bless and thanks for doing so and all the rest that you do. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. America needs a message in support of prodemocracy demonstrators in hong kong.

Lou a new Shocking Senate report find the United States has failed to stop china from stealing intellectual property from american agencies and america lacks any strategy to deal with the ongoing threat. The report shows 10,000 foreign born researchers work a u. S. Agencies last year where some signed secret side agreements china to steal u. S. Funded research and send it back to china. Not only that, but to also recruit other researchers who would carry out such espionage. The house of representatives approved a resolution supporting the prodemocracy protesters in hong kong. The house voting 4171 in favor of the hong kong human rights and democracy act. The lone may from Thomas Massie of kentucky. That legislation goes to the white house for President Trumps assured signature. 200 demonstrators were charged in the university standoff. Joining us is derek scissors. Derek, good to have you with us. Lets start with the situation in hong kong and the demonstrations. It looks like the response has been more constrained than some of us feared. On the part of the hong kong police. Your thoughts about the way they are dealing with these demonstrators and the chaos that has ensued over these well, past several months. I think it has been more constrained because the demonstrators have shown a lot more staying power. Yet the Police Stayed out of it. One reason the Police Stayed out of it is warnings from the u. S. Congress starting with senator mcconnell. The congress is doing the right thing telling the chinese, you stay out of hong kong. It doesnt matter how long the demonstrations go on, these people have a right to protest. I guarantee you President Trump will sign this because its the right thing to do, and its a signal to the chinese we are not going to let the trade negotiation hold american policy hostage. Lou the president has made it clear to president xi he would take into account hong kong heavily in deciding what he what do in the contact of the trade negotiations. I want to turn to what we are seeing now. This document from the Senate Investigations subcommittee. The threats to u. S. Research enterprise, chinas talent recruitment plans and the threat it poses. Is there any corner of our society, our economy, that the chinese are not assaulting right now . They are not assaulting the stuff they dont want. But the report is spot on, the administration started by identifying this problem in the summer of 2017 soon after they took office. What we havent done, what the failure has been, as you mentioned in the previous segment perfectly by the secretary of the navy, we need a whole of government approach. The chinese dont confine what they are looking at, just this sector or just surnd the coach one u. S. Government department. We need defense, treasury, commerce, a whole government approach to respond to the chinese. They take a whole of party approach. Lou and a whole of nation approach as point out by the Senate Subcommittee on investigations led by rob portman. They dont go after what they dont want which is on one level flippant and on the other intriguing. I cant think much anything they dont want. Every aspect of our manufacturing, telling, our r d, Cyber Attacks from commercial banking to the United States government and our science labs. It just does not end. Why do we not have a response . Even ad hoc response rather than a whole of nation response. We had ad hoc responses. The trade conflict started with u. S. Identification of china forcing coercive Technology Transfer on american first and we have taken some steps to respond. I think its exactly what you would spec. There are people who benefit from this. Lou forgive me. If you can stay there for just a couple minutes. Well take this commercial break and come back with you if we can impose. More with derek scissors. Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. Geico would like to take a moment to say thank you to our military Service Members at home and abroad for all their hard work and sacrifice.

False positive and negative results may occur. Ask your Healthcare Provider if cologuard is right for you. Most insured patients pay 0. Lou we are back with china and trade expert derek scissors. The American People are willing to pay the price to balance trade and contend with the threat of china. Whats it going to take . Well, i think we have interests that i agree with you. I think people are ready to do that. Thats one of the reasons the president wanted to do that in 2016. There are members of congress who stepped up and offered valuable legislation. But there are pockets in the tech and Business Community who dont see china as a evening. We dont have china as a big challenge. And we need a consensus to stop china stealing american technology. Lou tomorrow we have fred fruits and pastor Robert Jeffress.
