Were acting at the direction of the president. is that something you can discern from your perspective on the intelligence committee without being able to depose people like mick mulvaney, people like rick perry, people like rudy giuliani? >> its tough, but lets look whats in the public record. you have mulvaneys admission to this whole point. you have the white house call transcript. you have the volker text. you have all this testimony here that you piece together and the bottom line is theres...

From us this sunday, we invited the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, lindsey graham to the show this week. we were told he was unavailable. we wanted to ask graham about his views of the mounting evidence that president trumps team was pushing ukraine to publicly announce an investigation into the bidens. about the $400,000 in aide would not happen without that announcement. grahams public statements on the matter have been confusing. on september 25th after the white house released t...

Criminal behavior. likewise here. if the president is behind this scheme to extract a behavior from the ukraine before anything would proceed militarily or as a matter of white house appearance, then it doesnt make a difference that it didnt come directly out of the mouth of the president. >> and that perfect call transcript, he used the words, do me this favor. so attorneys for the presidents former national security adviser, john bolton, are dropping hints to the white house and to lawmakers s...

Thing one is the notion that unmasking the whistle-blower is the key to everything. the president pushes the idea. >> who is the whistle-blower? we have to know. is the whistle-blower a spy? >> and it rolls off the tongues of his allies on capitol hill. >> frankly i think the american people have a right to know who this whistle-blower is. >> one, theres a law that makes that not the case. but the intrigue is very intoxicating. but lets look at it with sober eyes and see it for what it is, a non...

Entertainment for liberals and entertainment for conservatives and there cant be sporting events where just democrats and republicans and a president, you know, hypothetically could get a neutral reaction. i think this president in particular is so polarizing that -- but hey, now that hes found a place where hes going to get those kind of cheers, maybe hell go to a lot more college football games in the south. >> well see. real quick for you, molly, the president now saying hes going to release ...

Of witness intimidation or even obstruction of a congressional investigation, its irrelevant like the whistle-blower. why? practically everybody tidbit of information we learned about, those nine pages from the whistle-blower, theyve been corroborated or improved upon from the white house call transcript, statements by officials, testimony, and good old-fashioned reporting. dont believe the hype. thing one aint the thing at all. and as for thing two, the argument starts with a flashback. bolo. b...

Is unfolding, how it has unfolded. lets get to this. the calls for the whistle-blower to be identified, to be unmasked and testify, juxtaposed with what we know now, how much of that would you say the republicans -- >> yeah, thats exactly right. and what ivanka trump said i through you would find a lot of democrats who really agree with that, right? as she said essentially the whistle-blower is irrelevant right now. i think democrats would say the same because as you mentioned before, theyve had...

Disclosures out of that testimony. the most recent one is that vindman was told not to discuss his serious or grave concerns about the call in the days after it and that he was somehow sequestered and locked away, this call transcript, the overall call log. president is affecting confidence, here for fight night at madison square garden. obviously there is a controversy about whether or not he received boos and cheers. in general the president likes controversy, he likes attention. remember that...

Things on a server because you realize, wait a minute, the president of the united states may have committed an impeachable crime in a phone call with a foreign leader. so its rather extraordinary to me that the lawyers, the people keeping people on the right side of the law were instead trying to conceal information. and theres no other reason to put that call on that server. theres no sensitive information on that call, no intelligence on that call. the only reason to put that call transcript ...
