Talk to my republican friends as much as ill talk to my democrat s because i dont approach this from a partisan viewpoint. They are cherry picking, and withholding key facts and lying about other claims and the American Public gets completely deceived as a result of it. We have fox team coverage, kevin corke has the latest reaction from the white house but we begin with lucas tomlin son in our d. C. Bureau. Reporter john, and in that interview with fox earlier today Elizabeth Macdonald democratic congresswoman Debbie Dingle asked if there was enough votes for impeachment, to investigate a political rival. We must get, we cannot be emotional or whatever. We have three committees that are investigating, they are following where this will take us and well see where that will be. Is there enough facts to take us there right now . I dont know. Former u. S. Ambassador to the ukraine ignored a state Department Order not to testify before house impeachment investigators and she claims the president pressured the state department to fire her. The former ambassador told lawmakers Rudy Guiliani accused her of in subordination and blocking his efforts to investigate joe biden and his son hunter who worked for a gas company there. Critics say his only qualification was being the former Vice President s son. One democrat lawmakers admitted until this past summer ukraine was one of the bright spots. It was a perfect policy. It was better than the obama administrations policy. Wow. The official policy, which was fighting corruption, and supporting ukraine against russia. But what started happening over the last year was that the president through Rudy Guiliani was running a parallel policy, a shadow policy that had a different aim. The aim was to try to get dirt on Vice President biden. Republicans accused the democrats of stonewalling. The impeachment of the president of the United States and everything is going to happen behind closed doors, offering no protection whatsoever, no transparency, no accountability, no due process and were talking about the president of the United States and impeachment process 13 months before an election. Why dont we know who this whistleblower is . The whistleblower they deserve protection but they arent entitled to an o him it it. More diplomats are expected to testify on capitol hill. Tonights speech comes as the white house responds to a report that federal prosecutors have investigating President Trumps personal attorney, Rudy Guiliani the president defended his lawyer while blasting the impeachment effort at last nights rally in louisiana. President trump us called a witchhunt. The story of the greatest mass dilution in american political history. Thats what it is. This is one of the great con jobs ever. We must never let it happen to another president , this should never be allowed to happen again [applause] stuart kevin corke has the latest from the white house. Reporter john good evening just what is Rudy Guilianis relationship to the two men arrested this past week on Campaign FinanceLaw Violation . That appears to be the question at the heart of an apparent investigation into the president s mayor and his private attorney, former mayor of new york city, and federal investigators now mr. Guiliani for his part insists that federal prosecutors dont have any grounds to charge him with foreign lobbying disclosure violations because he was acting on behalf of his client, the president , not a ukraine prosecutor but still prosecutors and the federal government in manhattan are said to be investigating. Now according to the times this is all tied to the case of the two associates of guiliani who were arrested this week on Campaign Financerelated charges. Meanwhile here at the white house the president remains steadfast in his support of his attorney, taking to twitter to write this. So now they are offer the ledge en terry crimebuster and greatest mayor in the history of new york city, Rudy Guiliani, and he might seem a little rough around the edges but hes also a great guy and a wonderful lawyer such a onesided witch hunt going on usa deep state. Shameful meantime, another important story were keeping an eye on for you, john this one involving trade. Very big news, and particularly great news if youre from the farm belt in this country maybe just an vest or on the corner of wall and broad as the u. S. And china agreed to a small deal. Maybe a skinny deal. Phase i let me take you inside the information of this apparent deal. Isiah pair rant because we havent seen the actual details on paper but here is what they are telling us. It covers agriculture, banking, technology, energy, aviation and currency sectors as well as some intellectual Property Protection s. Here is the bottom line, john. The u. S. Agrees not to proceed for a hike in tariffs 30 up from 25 on about 250 billion in chinese goods, china for its part agrees to make purchases of 40 to 50 billion in u. S. Ag goods. The president said yes those numbers are Astro Tammy Bruce it call and that means big business for a sector that had been targeted by beijing. President trump that would be 2. 53 times what china has purchased at its highest point thus far, so they were purchasing 16 or 17 billion at the highest point and thatll be brought up to 40 billion to 50 billion so id suggest the farmers have to go and immediately buy more land and get bigger tractors. Big deal, to say the least there, john. Itll take weeks, however to hammer out the exact details, maybe its five weeks were told by those who watch this sort of thing, even as the president and his team try to work out better deals for the u. S. And the u. S. Taxpayers, john . We will see, kevin corke at the white house, thank you. Democrats move to subpoena Rudy Guiliani two indicted associates adding to the growing list of witnesses they are demanding to hear from. Lets bring in emily larson, political reporter for the washington examiner. Emily as if this impeachment inquiry couldnt be messy enough all of a sudden, a couple of associates of Rudy Guiliani get arrested but what does it have to do with the impeachment inquiry . Well these two associates reportedly worked with guiliani under his direction to investigate hunter biden who was of course on the board of the ukraine gas company, while his father was Vice President and thats the whole thing that sort of spurred this impeachment inquiry, but the charges that they were arrested under on wednesday were not having to do with that work, this is having to do with the Campaign Finance violation, allegedly improperly funneling funds into prodonald trump superpack, through their company, but because of their connection with guiliani, plus this Campaign Finance issue, that this isnt clear that these are connected yet, but because of their connection with guiliani and with the investigation of hunter biden, these two are obviously being looked at very closely, and the more scrutiny on these two, even though there isnt a direct connection yet, it certainly adds to the House Democrats argument that there is definitely something fishy going on on the president and guiliani s side of things. Joe biden has been fundraising off of their arrests. I mean, sending out email blasts of their mugshots and suggesting, i think suggesting is a fair way to put it, that it has something to do with impeachment, and its really a separate animal. Certainly, it is a separate animal, but i think the biggest thing and that fundraising email was trying to discredit Rudy Guiliani. This is sort of the biggest stin g that democrats and even republicans are worried about here that he is the person who pushed donald trump to ask the president of the ukraine to look into this hunter biden issue, and he is the person whose been vigorously defending the president on tv, but in a way a couple people at least republicans are a little bit uncomfortable with so the more that the democrats can discredit guiliani through this connection with these two Associates Even though there isnt a direct connection to the impeachment issue that helps them. Yeah, the president as recently as yesterday was saying that he didnt actually know whether Rudy Guiliani was still serving as his personal attorney that would seem to suggest that all of this criticism, that guiliani is taking from republicans, for instance, is having some effect. Certainly when you have the president of the United States and hes not sure if guiliani is still his personal attorney, that sounds line something that happens just before weve seen a tweet notifying the world that somebody in President Trumps cabinet has been fired, and so the way that President Trump treats guiliani Going Forward, i think, will certainly be key into how this impeachment defense plays out. Right now hes been on tv vigorously defending the president and in a way, which makes them uncomfortable and i think they were hoping that they could do, defend the president in a way and distract from some of the impeachment things maybe redirect them, focus on hunter biden and joe biden but now it seems to be backfiring and will be interesting to see if the president and his team take a different strategy Going Forward but now he finds himself, Rudy Guiliani has been subpoenaed by congress. Certainly, and i think that is not necessarily a shock, because he is definitely at the center of this impeachment inquiry he was trying to investigate joe biden, whether there was any involvement with whether there was newlyreleased quid pro quo there with joe biden, wanting that you crane prosecutor to be fired and really trying to push that issue , and so how involved he was, how involved that Rudy Guiliani was in this whole push to ask ukraine to investigate the bidens is very important to their impeachment case. But back to the two men who were arrested they were born in ukraine back when it was part of the soviet union they are now businessmen in florida, and they were arrested on charges of apparently funneling money to a Trump Campaign which in this particular circumstance is against the law but it has nothing to do with the whole ukraine investigation that Congress Wants to conduct, right certainly and i think thats key here. The whole narrative about democrats and joe biden propping up these two guiliani associates , it is very important to know that they were not arrested due to anything having to do with the impeachment inquiry, or investigating hunter biden, because these were, these two men were arrested because there was some question about whether the money they donated to a pro trump superpack was not, they werent really able to donate that and so those were the charges they were arrested on. Granted because they are ukraine born, now american citizens, i do believe, and living in florida and working with guiliani there is going to be a lot of muddying there perhaps as we have some more investigations and subpoena there will be more information that cops out but as of now theres no direct connection but as i mentioned earlier, the more that democrats and joe biden can show that things are being very disfunctional and maybe some shady dealings going on, on the side of the republicans, the more that helps their impeachment case. Emily larson, washington examiner, political reporter emily thank you. Thank you. You might hear more about what the president thinks of all of this. You can catch him after the voters summit tonight on justice with judge janeane. She will have an exclusive interview with President Trump talking about impeachment, the troop pullout in syria, and the 2020 race coming up. 9 00 p. M. Eastern time a little less than three hours from now. Another high level resignation in washington, kevin is stepping down as acting Homeland Security secretary, after just six months onthejob President Trump saying he will name a replacement next week, as immigration remains his top priority. Garrett tenney has more from washington. Reporter the sources familiar with the situation tell us that this was mcaleenans decision he was not fired. Last in a call, he said he was leaving to spend more time with his family but according to the source, the acting dhs secretary has been on the outs with the white house for some time. He felt Like Administration officials didnt listen to him any more and he knew he was not going to be nominated to lead dh s permanently so he decided to step aside. It is worth remembering that he took over after former secretary , kristen into was fired and the president even noted some of the success he had during his tenure tweeting hes done an outstanding job as acting secretary of Homeland Security. Weve worked well together with border crossings being way down. Kevin now after many years in government wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector. The president said he would announce his replacement next week a former senior dhs official, says ken cuccinelli, the acting director is at the top of the president s list. But actually, getting him confirmed would be a challenge, because a number of gop leaders in the senate including Mitch Mcconnell are not fans of the former Virginia Attorney general who previously led efforts to primary senate rep cans as President Senate conservative, though the source tells us they is in sync with white house advisor Steven Miller when it comes to key immigration policy and the white house has been working to make this happen. Garrett, thank you. A busy weekend on the campaign trail ahead of the next democratic debate the race tightening between joe biden and massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. While struggling candidates prepare for what might be their final chance to try to brain out of the pack. Jacqui heinrich joins me with more on the 2020 race. Well theres a lot going on for sure. Democrats rallying ahead of that crucial debate that really could turn the tide for joe biden, or for elizabeth warren, they are both at the head of the pack but woulds once a three way race is looking like a bidenwarren matchup, and the latest stocks news poll has warren up by six points since september, but not at bidens expense. Hes still ahead and gaining ground. Warren is drawing support away from other candidates like bernie sanders, still off the campaign trail after a heart attack, and tonight though he announced his first postheart attack event, a rally in new york next weekend. Neither warren nor biden are campaigning today. Biden is doing debate prep acknowledging thursday, time constraints to delivering answers are his achilles heal and warren is doing her something online. Her campaign bought a facebook a d lately lying to prove a point it falsely claims Mark Zuckerberg endorsed donald trump and it goes on to say if trump lies in the tv ad, most networks will refuse to air it and facebook just cashes trumps checks. And facebook came under scrutiny for allowing trump to run an ad about joe biden which bidens camp says is full of lies meantime all of the other candidates are fighting to say relevant but one might not scramble for the spotlight. The dhcs criteria to be on stage takes the power away from the voighters and gives it to polls. The dnc partnered with the core rat media to hijack this elections process, away from voters, to run their own kind of preelection, to tell you well here is the people that we think can win. Its absolutely wrong, unacceptable and undemocratic. But Amy Klobuchar for one certainly does watch the spotlight and she said last night on bill maher acknowledging she hasnt had a vital moment and she made a jab with kamala harris. Youre right. Moments dont make yeah, and i think moments work when they actually happen that people dont manufacture them. The debate is on thursday. Its going to be one to watch yes. Jackie, thank you. One person is dead after a section of the Hard Rock Hotel still under construction in new orleans suddenly collapsed. Oh, my god. Thats cell phone video capturing the moment the top six floors of the building caved in. The structure sits right on the edge of the citys historic french quarter. The collapse sent several construction workers running for safety. Officials say at least two people are trapped in the debris more than 10 others are hurt. I heard some noise and i looked up the street and there was some trash falling from the building. I thought maybe they forgot to, like the rest of the building came down. Its unclear what caused the collapse and still a very dangerous situation. Authorities fear a nearby unsupported crane might also fall, and they have evacuated the area. Shootings rattle two communities on the east coast. A suspected gunman opening fire during a wedding in New Hampshire this morning injuring two. Police are looking into the motive they do not believe it was random. And here in new york, police are urging witnesses to come forward after gunfire brains out at an illegal gambling hall. Four people were killed. Three others hurt, police are still searching for a suspect.

The saddle ridge fire burning in Los Angeles County has forced tens of thousands to flee their homes. High winds and dry conditions are fueling the flames. We have team coverage, meteorologist adam klotz is tracking the conditions there but first we go to christina coalman in porter ranch, california. Christina . Well, jon, these fires caused a lot of damage im standing here at a house that was destroyed you could see here this wall belongs on the second floor of the house, but you could see the second floor it has caved in, on top of all of this melted debris, you could see all of this right here, but ive got to tell you theres good news that came out of all of this and its the love and support from the community for the people who live here. I just spoke with a mom who live s here and she was able to pull out this birthday decoration she had for her children. Take a listen to what she has to say about the love and support from the community. Im so grateful i have my family and i have a Great Community for support, great family. Weve got over 100 calls and texts and i thank every single one of them, they have given me so much strength and we are already looking up to see how we will rebuild house. Now this house burned in the saddle ridge fire burned at least 7,500acres since thursday night and the fire is now 19 contained. Authorities say the man who died in the saddle ridge fire suffered a heart attack while trying to protect his property from the flames. A mandatory evacuation was lifted for most of the people in this area. I spoke with one neighbor who tells me he watched as a homeowner saw her house engulfed in flames. It was so sad looking at her , watching her house burn down, you know . Its like i wasnt even looking at a house burning down. Im looking at her thinking of whats going through her mind. Being able to come home, it feels surreal, and there is a massive sense of gratitude for not being in this devastating situation, and our heart goes out to our neighbors. One of the two people who died from the sand elwood fire that swept through a Mobile Home Park is an 89yearold woman and now that fire is about 25 contained as of today, and that fire burned at least 820acres. Cal fire confirms that trash from a trash truck burning rush had fallen off and that started that fire so now investigators are determining whether criminal charges will be filed and as you could see these neighbors still going through some of the belongings they were able to pull out of this burning house, as firefighters continue to work hard to fight these fires, and control these hotspots to keep these embers from floating around and flaring up and causing even more fire but again the good news that has come out of that is all of the love and support from the people impacted from these tragic fires. Jon . So sad so see that christina coalman, thank you. When will firefighters get a brain from the dry and windy conditions . Meteorologist adam klotz in the fox weather center. Jon, yeah, unfortunately still a tough situation. Youre looking at Los Angeles County to the north everything in the pink is a red flag warning it means the conditions are still there for wildfires to spark or spread, everything here in the orange color that means an elevated risk of fire weather and everything in the red a critical risk so looking stretching to Thousand Oaks thats an area thats been battled wildfires before. We remember big wildfires a year ago. Currently temperatures sitting in the middle 80s farther to the north, but the area has been bone dry and windy and theres good news with the wind forecast these have scaled back here over the last several hours, so were only looking at winds in the 8 10mile an hour range enough to cause a problem but those arent those 40mile an hour winds that really push these type of fires and allow them to spread very quickly. The thing that we continue to battle unfortunately, is just horribly dry air across this region. This is the relative humidity out there right now and you start to see some of these deep brown colors thats getting down 10 so this is incredibly dry air and you see how that all funnels in north of los angeles and up the coast. That should back off a little bit. Its not going to become a moist air, so its not going to help a lot but we will see this back off at least a little bit in the next couple of days, you see that kind of falling back those humidity levels get up closer to maybe 25 just a little bit more moisture in the air that is going to be good for this situation because otherwise, it is bone dry across this region. Our satellite and radar shows that the entire western half of the country is looking incredibly incredibly dry, and in the future forecast isnt showing any type of precipitation moving this way. The only other big weather story across the country at this point , jon, boy they had a big winter system in the middle of the country, upper plains and midwest this was a big snowmaker blizzard conditions for a while, blizzard conditions wound down but whats behind it has been really cold air so you see those temperatures stretching off across northern portions of the country, these are the highs for the day. Only topping off into the 30s in some of these locations, and that system is going to continue to spin so you will see unfortunately some really cold air kind of hovering there in northern portions of the plains, and the upper midwest here for next couple of days as we get this week going jon. Fires in california and blizzard in the midwest what a week adam klotz thank you. A powerful typhoon is batter ing japan with heavy rain and strong winds, after making landfall, southwest of tokyo. Meteorologists say it could be the worst storm to hit the region in 60 years.

Meantime the turn icer military now claiming to have captured a key Syrian Border town as it defends Northern Syria enters a fourth day and pressing its assault on Kurdish Forces who join the u. S. In the fight against isis. The invasion prompting both republicans and democrats to call for new sanctions against turkey, here is President Trump on that. President trump we have a very Good Relationship with turkey. They are a nato partner and we do a lot of trade with turkey but we dont want them killing a lot of people, if we have to use sanctions we will on turkey. Steve herrigan is following all of this from iraq south of the turkish border. Jon, no sign of any slowdown of the turkish defensive on this day four, they are moving in acrosstheboarder into syria, and the goal, turkey says, is to clear out a buffer zone of about 20 miles, and clearing kurdish fighters and they say this is an antiterror operation, they have claimed control of the first major city once controlled by kurds, and they also say they control several major highways as well and the goal is to push in 20 miles deep, there about five miles deep in now its hard to get a clear count of the death toll, with fighters on each side but its clear the civilians on both the turkish side and the kurdish side have been killed roughly 50 total in all. Also a real sense of chaos of those trying to flee the fighting the u. N. Saying as many as 100,000 people are on the run moving south anyway they can, in the chaotic rush to try and get away from the explosions from the fighting. There has been tremendous International Criticism against turkish president about this military offensive that has not seemed to budge him at all so far the u. S. Has threatened financial sanctions against turkey, also threatened grave consequences but so far, no movement and no actual measures taken against turkey, the president expects to continue the military operation until every last terrorist is neutralized. Jon, back to you. Steve, thanks. Iran is warning a missile attack on one of its oil tankers will not go unpinnished. Officials say two missiles struck the tank eras it traveled through the red sea off the coast of saudi arabia damaging two storerooms and causing an oil leak. This latest incident comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations after iran was blamed four strikes on saudi oil tied to last month. Tehran denies any involvement. Afghanistan bracing for political uncertainty, following its president ial election with both candidates claiming victory before ballots are even tallied. Diplomats fear the confusion could lead to a potential crisis in that already fragile democracy. We are in london with more. Reporter still ongoing in afghanistans election and an initial result isnt expected until at least next saturday and a final result would be for two weeks after that. Organizing a vote in afghanistan is as ever a challenge, firstly due to security concerns and taliban threat to target polling stations but its also logistics bringing in ballots and counting them takes time, and turnout had s was low partly due to those security concerns although official figures arent yet released and the front runner to win is the current president , but if he doesnt get over 50 of the votes, there has to be a run off. If that happens, it will underscore the credibility of the vote but it will further delay the final outcome, creating more uncertainty. The president s main rival is also the runner up in the last afghan president ial vote. That result was disputed over four delegations and already now , before the result is even announced, dr. Abdullah is tweet ing to monitor the voting irregularities and there is yet no evidence and many consider the facts that the election was held at all amid a back drop of violence, was a significant achievement; however with peace talks solved that violence continues. On friday, several people were injured in a series of explosion s in the east of the country, and if there is a run off vote that might not happen until as late as next spring, and until then, afghanistan would remain in political limbo and it could be then that the taliban and other insurgents would exploit this uncertainty.

Only you, lord jesus christ, can anoint him to have victories over strongholds and to establish justice for the needy, give him strength and courage to persevere, and the constant battle that surrounds him and refresh him. Father god, i see that you have such a tender heart for President Trump. Yes. Draw him close to you. I ask now for an importation of hunger for you, so that he may love you with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength, and delight in knowing you and if he came in whispering your name, may he go forward, shouting your name. In jesus name, in the name of my king, i bless you. Amen. [applause] thats Andrew Brunson, the american pastor who spent two years in a turkish prison after he was implicated in what the turkish government claimed was a coo attempt, Andrew Brunson spent two years pretty hard time in that government, im sorry in the turkish prison system, before the trump adminitration arranged his release, after slapping some pretty stiff sanctions on turkey of course, turkey very much in the news this week, with its shelling of the kurds and the trump adminitration threatening sanctions again as you heard the president say a little bit earlier in this broadcast. Now President Trump at the values voters summit. President trump great honor to be here. Tony, pastor brunson, who ive gotten to know very well, that was not easy but we got him out, got him back to his family. [applause] President Trump and i want to thank you for that beautiful prayer. It means a lot. This evening im deeply honored to be back with so many pastors and leaders and friends and patriots at the 2019 values voter summit. [applause] President Trump you are the warriors on on the frontiers defending american freedom. We meet tonight at a crucial moment in our nations history. Our shared values are under assault like never before. Extreme left wing radicals both inside and outside government are determined to shred our constitution and eradicate the beliefs we all cherish. Far left socialists are trying to tear down the traditions and customs that made america the greatest nation on earth. They reject the principles of our founding fathers, principles en shrined into the declaration of independence which pro claims that our rights come from our create or. [applause] but despite the dilutions of the radical left, all of us here today know that our rights come from god almighty and they can never be taken away. [applause] President Trump together we will protect those godgiven rights for our children, our childrens children and generations of americans to come whenever are front, the ultra left is waging war, on the values shared by everyone in this room. They are trying to silence and punish the speech of christians and religious believers of all faiths. You know it better than anyone. They are trying to use the courts to rewrite the laws, undermine democracy and force through an agenda they cant pass at the ballot box. They just cant seem to do it can they . They are trying to hound you from the workplace, expel you from the public square, and weaken the American Family and indoctrinate our children. They recent them to stay faithful americans who hold fast to our nations historic values and if given the chance they would use every instrument of government power including the irs to try to shut you down. They are using the irs against me. Generations of american before us did not work, they fight, they sacrifice and they do so much, but we will never ever, no matter what happens, surrender our liberty. The word liberty is to important to the radical left, together we will stand up to the socialists and we will win massive victor ies for family, for faith, and for freedom just like the victory we had in 2016. [applause] President Trump with every bit of heart and soul we will defend our country, the most just and virtue us republic and yet i say that and those words are beautiful, but its starting to change and were going to stop that start. [applause] President Trump the hateful spirit that consumes the modern left violates every tenant of the american tradition. The radical left tolerates no descent and permits no opposition and accepts no compromise and look we have all seen it. We see whats going on. There is no compromise. Frankly, these people are crazy. [laughter] [applause] President Trump they are crazy. I shouldnt say it because were all the same but they are crazy, and as weve seen in the last three years, the extreme left has absolutely no respect for the will of the american people. They are determined to stop our movement and impose their agenda by any means necessary. It makes no difference to them. First it was the russia hoax. It was a total hoax, made up. Then it was the outrageous smearing of justice kavanaugh, that goes on. They want him impeached even when the woman said, i dont know that anything happened, nothing happened. They said lets impeach him anyway. And the whole thing was phony. So phony. Hes a good man and what hes gone through, i dont know if anyone has ever gone through anything like that. You know, when i chose justice kavanaugh, i said brett, congratulations, im choosing you. Many years they were talking he would be on the supreme court. He said sir, this is the the greatest honor of my life. The greatest honor of my life and i said brett, this will go so fast. This will be so easy and perfect [laughter] President Trump you got the perfect family, the perfect wife , the perfect education, youre the best student you went to the best school, theyve been talking about you for 10 years, this will go quick and easy. So much for predictions, folks, but we stuck with him ill tell you. A lot of people. [applause] President Trump plenty of people said cut him loose, president , cut him loose, president you know that. A lot of people, couple of people in this room, im not going to reveal your name but a couple of people in this room said cut him loose, president , and i cant do it. Hes done nothing wrong. They are phony stories about him made up just like they are made up about me and other people. They were phony stories. Cant do it, im sorry and we got them through and i give a lot of respect to those people that went up there and they endured a lot. That was the worst thing that many people have seen in this country for years, justice kavanaugh. Its a big moment in our country s history. And now it is the outrageous impeachment. Look, impeachment, and i never thought id see or hear that word with regard to me, impeachment. I said the other day to me its an ugly word. Very ugly word. It means so much. It means horrible horrible crimes and things, i cant even believe it. Its a witchhunt, based on a single phone call of congratulations to the president of ukraine, which they fraudulently mischaracterized to sound absolutely horrible. Its crooked adam schiff made a statement, a long beautiful statement and was a fraud. He repeated my call but it wasnt me. He made it so bad and i said oh, im going to go after him. They say sir [applause] President Trump they say sir, he has immunity, because he said it in congress. He has immunity. They say i dont care ability immunity. He cant have immunity. He made up a phone call but then i did something that they didnt expect. I immediately called up the ukraine through my representatives, in this case our great secretary of state, doing a fantastic job. [applause] President Trump mike pompeo. And got approval because i have to do this because i dont like the idea, do you know how bad that is for us as a nation . And got approval to immediately make that call public. And they thought it was strange. They thought it was a little bit strange, why would you want to do that. You know other countries are looking at us like what the hell is going on in the United States seriously. Now does this mean that every leader ideal with and we do great things. Look at what we did yesterday with china for our farmers and for our people. [applause] President Trump but does that mean every time i speak to the head of a country theyre afraid this is going to be broadcast all over the world . Youre never going to be able to speak properly to anybody to make a deal, to do good things for the people and even the people of the world, so we had a perfect call, it was just absolutely nice. Totally different than the phony thing that he revealed with this crazy whistleblower. The whistleblower said quid pro quo, eight times. Was a little off. No times. But when you hear schiff, we wont give you that money unless you do this. It has nothing to do, it wasnt even discussed. It was a terrible terrible fraudulent thing and then nancy pelosi went on television, and she was very angry when she read the actual call, because this was an exact, i guess stenographers they took it down, and she was very angry, because she was a day early, when she started talking about impeachment, but that didnt matter to her. Lets do it anyway and for those of you that think she was reasoned over the last six months, she said no, no, no. I said shes going to do it she just wants to have it carried on closer to election. Shes going to do it, not a good person. I think she hates our country because if she didnt hate our country, she wouldnt be doing this to our country. Its a fraud. [applause] President Trump its a fraud. But she said to i give him credit, no, no, he said the truth, but that wasnt what he said. He said an entirely, this was totally different. No, no, he said. They just keep saying it and saying it is maybe some day they will believe it and frankly if i werent there, i couldnt believe it, i heard it and i said thats not what i said. He made up a conversation and it was vicious what he said, and then we caught him and i said he has to pay a big price and they said sir he has total immunity because he was in the Great Chamber talking to congressmen, talking to the American Public, lying and cheating. Im john scott this is the fox report well take you now back live to the president at the values voters summit in washington d. C. Pres were going to take a look at it. Were going after these people. These are bad, bad is this you . It has to be you. What would give it away . The fact that you started immediately. In fairness, i would have done that anyway. If you grew up in Staten Island and you hang out with a kid, thats what you do, you kind of blast that in your car, you open the windows and the shoulders too . I didnt have that. When which drive places when i would drive places, i would blast this. Look what
