Once again, things are moving quickly in washington when it comes to this impeachment inquiry that democrats have opened into President Donald Trump. This is a look at the New York Times on what is going on in washington. Democrats moving quickly to escalate their imprisonment inquiry impeachment inquiry. They subpoenaed mike pompeo on friday. Once again, we want to know from you whether you support or oppose this impeachment inquiry. We have a call already from washington. The caller imposes opposes the inquiry. Why do you oppose an impeachment inquiry . Caller im actually in california. I oppose it because i dont understand biden is on film saying what he did it. How he helped his son, how he was able to get involved with the russian oligarchs. The ukrainian oligarchs. Trump, we elected him in 2016. It was a great speech he did on stopping the deep state. I cant see what the problem is. He has to investigate biden. Saying anare investigation needs to be done of joe biden. Isnt that the responsibility of the Justice Department and not pushing a foreign leader to do that . Caller holder did everything barack wanted him to do. He didnt have a problem with it. You didnt have a problem jumping off cash. A lot of things. They have to work for the president. Protect his he office . How can he keep the democrats at bay who just to keeping attacking him . Host say a democratic president asked a foreign country to investigate one of the republicans running against him. Would that be ok . Im for President Trump investigating republicans as well. Im for him stopping the state corruption. Host lets go to and calling from new york. Good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. Support. Much in i think trump has gone over the line. , talkingith a foreign to a foreign leader about biden and his family. I think he needs to go. I really do. Host the first caller said this is simply an investigation into government corruption. Do you think this is something that President Trump should have done, pushing for an investigation of possible corruption . Caller it has been declared this was all cleared. This was all cleared up. Republican en a a democrat doing this, republicans would have been up in arms. They would have been carrying on for months and months. He needs to go. He should have been gone a long time ago. From the beginning. There is always a Political Part two everything in washington. How will this affect the election . Caller i think it will affect. I hope the democrats can keep it together. Democrats cany get out and vote and get him out of office. Thats all i want is for him to be gone and leave new york as well. Host a republican member of the House Oversight committee talked about these charges and whats going on with the president. This is what he had to say. Hadnt criedocrats wolf so many times with respect thisesident trump, i think might have more credibility with me. Until i see something that strikes me as impeachable, im going to consider this another political stunt, especially the way it was handled. Impeachment on the ,ueller report or the Campaign Nothing pertaining to his taxes. This is a new thing that just popped up. By usa question asked today, if the ukraine call was perfect as the president said, why try to bury it . Thats a good question. I think that something the Judiciary Committee should ask. I think thats fair game. Old blownrn a impeachment inquiry . I dont think so. People are already chiming in on social media. I totallye that says support impeachment. When you break the law, you go to jail. Says ianother one that support and inquiry. After i hear the evidence, i decide if i support impeachment. Illegaling something doesnt clear biden, nor vice versa. We are asking the question of the day, do you support or oppose an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Lets talk to can calling from texas. He opposes the impeachment inquiry. Caller good morning. I think this is doing a disservice to the country. You have to stop and think about this. When trump was coming down the escalator, they were talking about plans to impeach. Accept said if you dont the results of the election, you are against the United States. Its amazing to watch this. Right after trump went into articles ofhad impeachment. This is been a game plan all along. As you see all this scurrying around, they have no idea. What do you expect . They have no issues. They dont care about the security of this country. They can destroy anything. Host let me ask you this question. Flip the parties. President asked a government to investigate a republican family. Caller if you stop and think about it, its not about party. Its about crime. Biden, he brags on tv about strongarming the government. Those are his own words. Host you are saying if a democratic president asking the ukraine to investigate a republican family, that would be ok. Instance, obama was looking to find russian interference. You cant take this as one isolated point. You have to look at the totality of what has happened historically. Without a doubt, one of the things thats happening is getting right back into what biden did and what wound up in obamas pockets. Go to ni calling from hawaii. Ck caller its shocking to listen to people who oppose this. I want to say is im not a democrat or a republican. I am active with a third party. Im not a democrat, im not defending the activity. Ats just obvious if you look what the charges are, there is no guarantee that hes guilty. Except there is so much information. Its like talking about a smoking gun. There is so much information, there is so much possibility. Yes this president has done things from day one that if it were anybody else, you think about clinton who is impeached for a sexual peccadillo. Here is the president. I think the people that are calling in opposition, i dont mean to judge mental, are ignorant of the country. The president is using the power of our system to further his own personal fortune. At Rudy Giuliani or the attorney general and you look at what they said, they really are scared of their shadow. I really appreciate your questions about what if this was a democrat who did it . Watched enough to have the next and impeachment. Of course he resigned. Ive seen accusations of other president s. This is over the top. Weve never seen such an incompetent person. You can take his comments against immigrants. There are so many things he has done. Threatened a foreign power, holding up half 1 billion and it does not have to be a quid pro quo. This is an inquiry. It could clear him. It could be possible that everything that supported are inaccurate. A free country to look at the activities of this president. From lets go to robert pennsylvania. Robert opposes the impeachment inquiry. Caller thanks for having me on today. Im a democrat. I voted for trump. I dont want my vote to be crackpots a bunch of in the studios of cnn. Thats where this is being driven. I voted for trump. I dont want to be negated. I will vote for him again if he makes it to the election. I dont want my vote to be negated. Thent listen to anything other networks say about him. Any truthlace to get about whats going on is the fox network unfortunately. Trump is more of a conservative democrat then he is a republican i believe. The way of conservative democrats more than he does republicans. Thats my thoughts on it. I just want my vote to count. The days before he was inaugurated, they were screaming for impeachment. Lets go to fran from jacksonville. Fran supports the impeachment inquiry. Caller good morning. I try to place the focus on holding up the aid to ukraine. I consider that a National Security issue. Its a security issue for ukraine and the United States. Are goingn countries to try to do their best to keep russia from taking over. Our president is holding back aid. He did say he needed a favor from this new president. I guess thats the reason. Also, somebody called up and said that nancy pelosi was a pathological liar. Everybody knows who the pathological liar is. I havent seen one person say donald trump is not a liar. They just want to excuse him. This last person was talking democrats,chool oldstyle. Democrats, hes talking about dixiecrats. They are now republicans. Thats why he likes them. Its a confirmation bias. Said the caller also democrats have been talking about impeachment of President Trump for a very long time. This was something democrats have wanted the entire time. What is your response to that . Caller my response is we dont know what hes doing. Taxes,t know about his we know hes got his children weolved in the government see Jared Kushner making deals. He did not disclose his taxes. Its getting worse by the day. Yesterday, george will discuss his thoughts on the impeachment inquiry. The rule is not every Impeachable Offense should be grounds for impeachment proceeding. Nancy pelosi announced this inquiry 406 days before the president ial election. Better president ial election. There are 47 members of the caucus with the democrats. In order to remove him from office, they would need 20 republican senators. Tweet trump today were to that nine is a prime number, the sun revolves around the earth, there arent three republican senators who would disagree with them. Hes going to finish his term. As a prudential matter makes you wonder what this is about. They can send this to the senate. It would be terrific fun to watch the republicans squirm when it got there. There are public goods that would come from impeachment. Is hisof the articles refusal to comply with thisessional oversight, would represent the beginning of the refluxing of congressional muscles that have atrophied over the years. This would be another benefit. Primaryelieve that the aim should be to make sure the 45th president is succeeded by in 2021, you have to consider. Theink it distracts democrats from caulking about it. Lets go back to our social media followers. Inyou support or oppose and peach mint inquiry. Margaret says she is in favor. What do his supporters not get. Thinksnt matter if you biden is a crook. We have laws. This is from florida. Only if the evidence is irrefutable. I believe most republicans would agree with me. Too many accusations of proven to be false. Absolutely support the inquiry. Trump has done more than enough to warn to it. His latest move is beyond the pale. Do you support or oppose the impeachment inquiry. Or textalways call in us or hit us up on social media. Lets go back to our phone lines. Opposes the inquiry. Good morning. Caller good morning. Host go ahead. Caller ive been interested in the fact that President Trump said that his conversation was perfect. Honesthes been pretty with the things he says. Perfect,hought it was why . Ive been researching that quite a bit. In 1998,ut that clinton presented the ukraine with a treaty that he wanted ratified, that the ukraine and the United States would have a mutual agreement when there were criminal matters. They would legally assist each other. This treaty was ratified in 2000. You can look it up. Trump hado me that concern about corruption going on in ukraine. Some of the people surrounding stillew president were questionable. Our tax money to a country, we would like to know its spent correctly and on uncorrupt activities. Interested that he that hadp this server to do with the election. I got the impression from the that the two of them were in agreement. They are supposed to cooperate on criminal matters and let each other know whats going on. Upwas important to bring this server. Whoave someone in ukraine is serious about stopping corruption. The biden thing came up. They are supposed to be discussed between the countries. Legally, they are supposed to assist each other. Thats why trump thought this was a perfect call. Host we are going to have an expert on ukraine relations later on the show. Is that the type of conversation that should be done not a Law Enforcement level. They are talking about what could be an investigation. Should that be done at a much lower level . A lower level would be Something Like giuliani. Him, he was asked by the state department to go over there. There is a lot of low level discussion. There is a brandnew president now in the ukraine. It was an opportunity for trump. To remind him of these criminal issues that are still under investigation. Ask you theing to question, flip the script. Say a democratic president was talking about corruption into a republican contender for his job, would that be ok . Caller absolutely. This has to do with criminal investigations. Because there was something criminal going on with biden, unless he is convicted, he is still a candidate. Host lets go to darrell in los angeles. He supports the impeachment inquiry. Good morning. Thank you for taking my call. The inquiry because donald trump has done so much corrupt stuff. President , hee was corrupt before he was voted in. He is a mafioso type man. The Republican Senate by the home use. He is just an embarrassment to america. Can vote him out, the better the entire world will be. He is divisive and corrupt. That, unless see you live under a rock. Host during the Texas Tribune was askedsusan rice about former Vice President biden in ukraine. This is what she had to say. To the white house have concerns about the Vice President in ukraine . President trump has raised this as an issue. Was this ever a serious concern . Let me explain why. Complete distraction going on here. To try to conflate what Vice President biden did at president for foreignst policy objectives within a country where the United States was providing millions of dollars. They were trying to bolster their democracy. Vice President Biden made phone calls and took trips in support of that policy area he was transparent. Westernacked by our partners in the imf. There was no secrecy about it. There was no hiding the transcripts. It was the basic work of diplomacy. That there is some equivalence between the president of the United States, this President Trump extorting a foreign leader to advance his partisan personal interest and the Vice President pursuing a policy that was open and transparent and backed by congress, its completely out of the norms. Host lets go to tennessee. She opposes the impeachment inquiry. Good morning. Caller i do oppose. The democrats are challenging the rule of law. Eyewitness. An there is no evidence, its based on hearsay. What he did as a matter of truth. This is turning the rule of law on it said. An impeachment inquiry would not be a courtroom trial. They would not have to follow the same rules as a courtroom case. Caller until recently, the whistleblower law, you had to be an eyewitness. That has been changed. The same courtroom rules to an impeachment inquiry. We are undertaking an election. Applying au think stricter standard would mean the inquiry wouldnt go forward . Caller i dont know. Rules that the same people understand. Secondhandave evidence. What do you think should be done at this point . Should they stop and wait until they get more evidence . Or not investigated all . Caller if they had more evidence, how much did we spend on mueller. They did not find anything. Determined. Nd and i hate this. I think everybody hates this. This is not good for anybody. Host lets go to florida. I am pretty sure i got your name wrong. I did get it correct. Thank you so much. You support the inquiry. Believe the declaration of independence and all the past president s got together to make this country great again. Unfortunately, the last few the country is being divided. Is whenont understand President Trump was running for he had a prostitute and hookers. He got away with that. He is done so much wrong for this country. Just trying to send out a democrat or republican. I would like for someone to get an office thats going to care about the country. Democrats and republicans fighting against each other. They expect to run the country. We should be number one. Host lets go to paul calling from west palm beach. He opposes the impeachment inquiry. Caller thank you for taking my call. A little upset as the white cspan has been doing this. Why not discuss that . I am a 68 euros man. Yearold man. God for the new day ive got. , iray for this president used to be a democrat in the 80s and 90s. Flake and these people who are saying 35 republicans are going to impeach the president. I would like to find out who these people are. Marco rubio has been silent. They are not coming out to support this president. Not let these people who were not supporting the president voted out in the primary. Host lets go to some of our social media followers. This is one tweet that says the president has the power to do what he is doing. He is the president. He has the power and democrats are trying to delegitimize him. This is another tweet that says no impeachable crimes here. They hate the man. Things must change. If we investigate every phone call we will find many similar conversations. If he didnt do anything wrong, why did they try to hide the complaint. We will look at one last one. Is not inevitable. There are signs of violating campaign ethics. The word impeachment is mentioned because of the series of misbehaviors leading to it. Lets go back to the phone lines. Jeremy is calling from ohio. Good morning. Caller good morning. I think the impeachment inquiry is warranted. The emphasis is on inquiry. They need to hurry up and get this done before november. If we find no wrongdoing, then focus on the election. In regards to this phone call, where joe biden was brought up, if you look at the tran
