I think its been clear from the start, this is not about the facts. We saw that yesterday. The facts are very clear. The witness yesterday, ambassador sondland, said unless re was an investigation of and yet they got the dollars and the meeting and there was no call for investigation. This was not about the facts. This was about, what i think nancy pelosi said sunday when she said she called the president of the United States an impostor. Democrats never got over the fact that this new guy who never been in this town, never been in politic, came in and is shaking this place up. Theyve never accepted the will of 63 million americans. They never accepted that donald trump won in an Electoral College landslide. And theyre doing everything, first it was an f. B. I. Investigation, then the mueller investigation, now. This theyre doing everything they can to, as mr. Green, democrat representative al green said, impeach him because they know hes going to win reelection. Thats the unfortunate position they put our country in i thought dr. Hills statement where she said weve got to quit, kind of stuff is tiring country apart. That is so true. What is happening is not good for our culture, not good for our nation. Yet the democrats do not care. They are bound and determined to do whatever it takes to get after this president. And again i think the American People see through it. They see that the facts are on the president s side. They know this process has been entirely unfair. Frankly, i dont know where it goes next. I dont know what theyve got planned, well have to wait and see. Well take some questions. All these allegations, they have not gotten past the elections, trying to create a narrative im not creating a narrative. Did nancy pelosi call the president an impostor . W is that the no that not tearing apart the country. You did the same to her. Didnt call her an impostor. Youre trying to establish a narrative. The facts are on our side, the truth son the president s side. How do you get past, even if you disagree with what the democrats have found how do you get past that and did you watch the hearing yesterday . I asked ambassador sondland when did it happen in of course he said when did what happen . The announcement that you said had to happen before they got the call, the meeting, and the money . And he said, there was no announcement. That says it all. Right . That says it all. There was never, how remember when this call came out they aid thered be a quid pro quo. They rejected strongly the notion that ukraine meddled in the 2016 election she said this was a false narrative manufactured by the russians. Are you willing to accept her testimony . We all know russia meddles in the election. That is to say ukraine didnt try to meddle in the election. Thats what we said all along. R. Livshenko said, most people wanted Hillary Clinton to win and they did opeds and stayments to help that happen. It didnt happen. Actually helping russia by trying you know what she said today when i asked her . I said, was the steele dossier a rabbit hole, she said yes, it was a rabbit hole, Christopher Steele got played. That was the biggest example of what you just brought up, that was the biggest example of how russians tried to influence the election. That document he put together where he got played, run do you think a rabbit hole, the f. B. I. Used it to spy on an american citizen. The fact that that happened in this country is so darn wrong but our f. B. I. Did it and when they couldnt find anything, bob mueller spent 2 1 2 years trying to fine something and didnt find anything either. Now it comes to this . Im giving you the answer i just gave you. She said she did not find it credible that sond lefthand did not make the link between bursma and biden. Doesnt change the fact, it didnt happen. And then spent four or five hours refuting the fact that the quit pro quo he talked about in his Opening Statement was all based on guesses and presumses and no facts. What about giuliani acting for the president of the United States. That was his perception, thats correct. Despite all the work youve done the democrats are going to impeach the president out of the house. Is this going to be a failure on your part to protect the president from having that happen . I think that was probably was probably determined a week and a half ago in the vote. But i thought that the telling sign from that vote that day was two democrats voted with the republicans. Every single republican understands what this is for. How wrong this is. And so did two democrats. So well see if they ever get to a vote in the next few weeks, well see. If they go to the judiciary, then when it goes to the floor, we dont know what the articles are going to be. Well see what the final vote is the real vote is the one thats going to happen in 11 1 2 months. Thats the vote that matters. Weve got to go. Will there be other open earings .
