00:03:49.140
first let me give you a uh let me give you an update on a couple of things the impeachment inquiry
00:03:54.240
is happening today an nsc uh official uh pence uh an aide to pence is going to also testify we're
00:04:01.900
going to have you know mr googly eyes uh open it up and he'll probably be saying some really important
00:04:07.760
stuff like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah but we have first jennifer williams she's going to
00:04:13.860
be testifying she's state department aide with um uh mike pence she has already testified behind
00:04:20.600
closed doors transcript of her session was released on saturday she was one that was on the phone call
00:04:27.260
she listened in on july 25th and uh said the mention of these specific investigations during the trump
00:04:34.300
zelinski phone call seemed unusual as compared to other discussions with foreign leaders she also
00:04:40.800
testified about another phone call on september 18th between mike pence and zelinski this call was after
00:04:47.460
the security uh was delivered to the ukraine the committee asked her if pence gave zelinski any
00:04:52.920
advice how to approach trump at the u.n general assembly meeting she said pence told zelinski president
00:04:57.740
trump would be eager uh about president zelinski's progress in his reform agenda williams then asked
00:05:03.860
what pence meant by reform agenda and she said the anti-corruption reforms on reforming the judiciary
00:05:10.340
and the legislative action and his administration you know the things that he was doing he he said he she
00:05:16.480
he that's you're meaning mike pence said this uh yeah she said that mike pence said okay was talking
00:05:23.820
about an anti anti-corruption reform yeah see mike is doing this the right way yeah right like he's not
00:05:32.620
he's not blurting out names he's being very careful with his language and it'll be surprising that if in
00:05:39.820
the end of this we find that mike pence has said anything on the record to anybody about anything
00:05:44.720
right that's what that's the way it's the way you would expect this to go down in the in the movie
00:05:50.440
right right like if this is the movie there's some guy like mike pence who says everything perfectly and
00:05:56.240
never gets in trouble and that's exactly what you'd expect out of pence no but there's never any guy
00:06:00.200
like donald trump in the movie there's never like the mob boss who's like you know what i say we kill
00:06:05.740
them all right now and i'm on the record rudy go on tv and say that's that doesn't it doesn't happen
00:06:12.880
that way no it makes it much more fun yeah this way but it doesn't but they were on tv saying it i
00:06:18.620
know that's showing maybe that they didn't think there was something wrong with this right probably
00:06:22.280
indicating when you when you send out your personal attorney to go on television and tell everybody
00:06:26.620
you're going to ukraine to look into the the obviously uh i mean to me obvious uh hint of
00:06:34.120
corruption that's going on with the bidens and ukraine right the thing that you know places like the new
00:06:40.160
york times had already reported on in depth you know i it does seem like maybe it was something he
00:06:47.400
wanted you to know about i don't know right yeah right you know usually you hide bribery you know
00:06:52.880
usually you're like usually the way you go let's keep this between ourselves it's not like you go
00:06:58.400
on tv and announce it before you do it hey i just want you to know uh i sent rudy giuliani over uh because
00:07:04.980
i'm having him look into some things uh and of course we're gonna bribe and and uh and just kind of do
00:07:11.220
all kinds of really bad things we probably should hide that from you and the press but we decided just to
00:07:16.960
be up front about it it's not not even possible okay a couple of other stories first of all
00:07:22.540
also related to the impeachment remember what this impeachment is really all about what is it
00:07:29.680
really all about it's not even about the 2020 election it's about the deep state of the state
00:07:37.720
department that's what this is really all about the state department is really upset the president is
00:07:44.200
running a shadow uh policy how can the president run a shadow his administration is supposed to be
00:07:53.280
setting the policy so it's not a shadow policy unless you're so out of control and arrogant
00:08:00.980
that you actually think that your policy that you're the one setting policy well their argument
00:08:07.720
to be fair to play devil's advocate a little bit yes go ahead their argument is the policy didn't
00:08:15.160
change so they had us over there communicating the same policies to the same people and it would
00:08:22.440
the ukrainians kept coming back to us and saying what is going on you're telling me one thing and
00:08:26.700
i got rudy giuliani over here telling me something else yes because the president didn't trust
00:08:31.140
everybody else because as we found out from uh from rudy giuliani and he says he has five witnesses
00:08:39.020
ready to attest to this um that that the the um uh the embassy in ukraine was was known as hillary
00:08:49.660
clinton campaign headquarters it was jokingly called campaign headquarters so i mean if you don't trust it
00:08:56.960
you do you send somebody out and you're like hey listen uh don't necessarily we got some things going
00:09:02.800
on don't necessarily you report right directly to me and tell me what's going on that's what you do
00:09:08.520
yeah i mean i think a potentially better path there i mean remember nobody on earth wanted to be
00:09:14.520
secretary of state more than rudy giuliani i know i know i'm just trying to get to this point
00:09:19.340
this is a this is an argument between the state department saying that they are in charge yeah and
00:09:26.780
the white house saying they are in charge well yesterday mike pompeo came out and uh he and
00:09:33.920
the president have decided uh that uh the policy of the state department is wrong uh in regards to
00:09:41.580
um jerusalem and israel and so they've decided yeah you know the occupied territories we think they're
00:09:49.380
fine we think that's uh we don't think that's against international law we agree with uh the state of
00:09:56.380
israel they have every right to occupy that they're not actually occupying it it's a part of israel oh my
00:10:02.500
gosh that made everybody in the head in the state department from the old guard their head you could
00:10:07.860
hear i think that eric swalwell fart might have been the heads exploding across the street uh at the
00:10:15.680
state department that's it really is amazing i mean well timed well timed there yeah he's sending it's
00:10:22.640
interesting the way he's handling this because you know he's going right after him he's going right
00:10:27.540
after the intelligence he's going right after the state department it's probably caused him problems
00:10:32.380
but he doesn't seem to care about it nope nope he's just going for it and look this is of course the
00:10:36.120
right policy we should point out it is part of israel and it's not occupied territory and it's all state
00:10:41.280
department that has kept that at bay it's all state department like we all knew the capital of israel
00:10:46.680
was jerusalem and we all faked it for some reason and we all acted as if it was the state department
00:10:51.900
the state department said it was a bad idea and remember how it was going to make the entire
00:10:56.700
middle east explode when he changed that embassy uh that has not been the case i mean it's not it's
00:11:01.220
never pretty there i love this um but uh just love it's been positive i think yeah i think so too
00:11:06.540
okay so we have uh we have that going on eric shift is still eric schiff is still i don't know who
00:11:12.600
any of the people you're talking about are adam schiff is a person that's involved who did i say
00:11:16.860
you said eric shift okay i don't know who that person is and then you said eric schiff yeah he's
00:11:21.140
also not a person all right adam schiff is the adam schiff is the guy uh i just can't get past his eyes
00:11:26.740
they're a little spooky i think the trump nickname has worked on you you're to the point can you think
00:11:31.980
shifty shift shifty shift is his name uh but his name is shifty schiff or schiff but not shift
00:11:39.060
i know i i it's just in your head it's in my head and it's true it's a very accurate nickname it is
00:11:45.500
it is so anyway uh we have that coming on and when he stopped saying all of the important things that
00:11:50.660
he's saying now like this witness which is going to say something bad about donald trump is
00:11:58.740
unimpeachable well he's the perfect witness that's never done anything wrong in their lives they went
00:12:03.860
he played band that was the best clarinet player in his in his eighth grade okay soon as he stops
00:12:10.240
talking about that we'll we'll start to cover it now uh there is one thing that i don't believe i just
00:12:16.200
don't believe this is true that uh chick-fil-a has has gotten out of their relationships with uh the
00:12:27.820
salvation army and the fellowship of christian athletes because they're dropping their anti-lgbq
00:12:36.660
i square thing plus plus thank you uh they're dropping all of that uh now because of you know
00:12:46.740
they need the what the gay chicken money you want the gay chicken money everybody wants the gay chicken
00:12:51.280
money everybody's after that you gotta get everybody yeah right now popeye's is like oh
00:12:56.240
we almost had them the future of this economy is gay chicken there's no way this is true
00:13:02.720
i mean it's true it's true but there's no way this is this is being spun by the press in my opinion
00:13:09.200
we will find out this is being spun by the press to hurt chick-fil-a to make people like me now look
00:13:17.280
if it is if they're like we gotta have the gay chicken money i'm telling you right now we did
00:13:22.540
this whole god thing for a while we stood on our principles for a while but we're at the point where
00:13:28.280
we can dominate and put all chicken people out of business if we just get the gay chicken money and
00:13:34.320
we want to say officially marriage needs to be between a man and a man no intersex gender marriage
00:13:41.240
is weird in fact there is no such thing as gender no such thing these chickens are all genderless
00:13:48.680
chickens if that's what's happening then i'm really upset at chick-fil-a but i don't think so hard to
00:13:56.320
believe i mean we've had dan kathy on like the guy risked his entire business to make this moral stand
00:14:04.000
and now he's just like yeah who cares about the i need gay fried chicken money it's no give it to me
00:14:10.900
there's no way it doesn't seem like him at all no no the chick-fil-a has not really given their side
00:14:17.760
of the story the only thing they said is they had a multi-year agreement with the charities like
00:14:22.640
salvation army and that's come to an end and they're moving the money to other charities which they say
00:14:28.560
uh only it's going to be limited to three categories education homelessness and hunger
00:14:33.980
which seems like right in the wheelhouse of salvation army like it's kind of like a lot of
00:14:38.400
the stuff that they do homeless and hunger thing that is kind of and the christian athletes probably
00:14:42.800
has something to do with education i would assume too when it comes to uh it's probably related to
00:14:47.080
so i'm not really sure but there's no problem that doesn't mean that they had a problem or they were
00:14:51.660
changing their their they're suddenly going after the gay chicken money look gay people eat
00:14:58.020
chick-fil-a i i just have to tell you now social justice warriors maybe they don't
00:15:05.360
seems like they do it's like they've seen the numbers from everybody loves chick-fil-a everybody
00:15:11.640
it's jesus chicken if jesus would have if he didn't have fish if he only had two chickens
00:15:18.320
in that basket would have been 5 000 chick-fil-a sandwiches i'm telling you right now my the best
00:15:25.020
part about this one was when some nfl athlete was hit up by some social justice warrior uh on twitter
00:15:30.940
and was like look do you understand what chick-fil-a stands for because he had posted that he was eating
00:15:34.620
there like do you understand what the chick-fil-a stands for they stand against gay people and blah
00:15:38.780
all these things that aren't really true and then uh he just responded chicken too tasty and like
00:15:43.480
that's the greatest point of all time like that's the truth it's just that's the one thing we have
00:15:48.700
they've got disney they've got all the parks they've got they've got all the movie they have
00:15:53.480
everything this is all we have is the chicken people okay that's the only thing that we have
00:15:59.300
where where where social justice warriors and and freaks are just like i can't it's too good i can't not
00:16:06.760

00:18:19.600
all right uh let's uh join just uh real quick um those questions start with what is the full
00:18:38.680
extent of the democrats prior coordination with the whistleblower and who else does the whistleblower
00:18:44.180
coordinate this effort with the media have fully accepted the democrats stunning reversal on the
00:18:50.640
need for the whistleblower to testify to this committee when the democrats were insist insisting
00:18:56.040
on his testimony the media wanted it too but things have changed since it became clear
00:19:02.780
the whistleblower would have to answer problematic questions that include these
00:19:08.660
what was the full extent of the whistleblower's prior coordination with chairman schiff his staff
00:19:14.740
and any other people he cooperated with while preparing the complaint i just don't see this
00:19:19.300
ending well for the what are the whistleblower's political biases and connections to democratic
00:19:23.720
politicians how does the whistleblower explain the inaccuracies in the complaint
00:19:29.740
what contact did the whistleblower have with the media which appears to be ongoing wow what are
00:19:39.160
the sources that's true information who else did he talk to and was the whistleblower prohibited by
00:19:45.640
law from receiving or conveying any of that information the media have joined the democrats in
00:19:53.400
dismissing the importance of cross-examining this crucial witness now that the whistleblower has
00:19:58.840
successfully kicked started just woke up he has disappeared from the story as if the democrats put
00:20:05.620
the whistleblower in their own witness protection program my second question what was the full extent of
00:20:14.600
ukraine's election meddling against the trump campaign in these depositions and hearings republicans
00:20:20.660
have cited numerous indications of ukraine meddling in the 2016 elections to oppose the trump campaign
00:20:27.140
many of these instances were reported including the posting of many primary source documents
00:20:33.920
by veteran investigative journalist john solomon since the democrats switched from russia to ukraine
00:20:40.880
for their impeachment crusade solomon's reporting on burisma hunter biden and ukraine election
00:20:47.840
meddling has become inconvenient for the democratic narrative and so the media is furiously smearing
00:20:53.860
and libeling solomon it's crazy that when here we had solomon on all these times and he was just like
00:20:59.260
given good reporting and now all of a sudden he's the focus of this impeachment hearing yeah it's incredible and
00:21:03.580
he's been on with us for over a year on this and been going back and forth he is such an honest guy he
00:21:10.080
really has done his reporting he's not some political hack he worked for the new york times and the
00:21:16.480
washington post and the associated press for 20 years and now they're just slaughtering him
00:21:22.640
so now that solomon's reporting is a problem for the democrats it's a problem for the media as well
00:21:28.480
amen like to submit for the record john solomon's october 31st story entitled debunking some of ukraine's
00:21:36.080
scandal myths about biden and election interference i encourage viewers today to read this story and draw
00:21:44.260
your own conclusions about the evidence solomon has gathered 2017 article
00:21:52.400
ask unanimous consent that we put this into the record mr chair without objection
00:21:56.760
all right now they're going to get to they're going to get to uh this next uh we're going to hear from
00:22:02.040
uh we're going to hear from several people today uh lieutenant uh colonel alexander vindman this is the guy
00:22:07.780
that we've already heard from somewhat in uh closed door testimony um he was told on july 10th that the
00:22:17.340
meeting with zelensky at the white house was conditioned on them opening an investigation into
00:22:22.120
the bidens he said the message was delivered to ukraine by gordon sondland uh sondland said he was
00:22:29.400
directed to deliver the message by mick volt mulvaney he also testified that rudy giuliani's involvement

just a circle way all right welcome to the program uh we have now a a pence aide um and she is now
00:24:45.760
delivering her opening statement to the hearing let's listen in i also informed the nsc that the
00:24:52.180
vice president would not be attending so that it could identify a head of delegation to represent the
00:24:57.220
united states at president-elect zelensky's inauguration on july 3rd i learned that the office
00:25:04.520
of management and budget had placed a hold on a tranche of security assistance designated for ukraine
00:25:10.040
according to the information i received omb was reviewing whether the funding was aligned with
00:25:16.200
the administration's priorities i subsequently attended meetings of the policy coordination
00:25:21.500
committee where the hold on ukrainian security assistance was discussed during those meetings
00:25:27.240
representatives of the state and defense departments advocated that the hold should be
00:25:31.960
lifted and omb representatives reported that the white house chief of staff had directed that the hold
00:25:37.960
should remain in place on september 11th i learned that the hold on security assistance for ukraine
00:25:44.120
had been released i have never learned what prompted that decision on july 25th along with several of
00:25:51.800
my colleagues i listened to a call between president trump and president zelensky the content of which has
00:25:58.280
since been during my closed door deposition members of the committee asked about my personal views
00:26:03.880
and whether i had any concerns about the july 25th call as i testified then i found the july 25th phone
00:26:10.520
call unusual because in contrast to other presidential calls i had observed it involved discussion of what
00:26:16.840
appeared to be a domestic political matter after the july 25th call i provided an update in the vice
00:26:23.800
president's daily briefing book indicating that president trump had a call that day with president zelensky
00:26:30.120
a hard copy of the memorandum transcribing the call was also included in the book i do not know whether
00:26:36.120
the vice president reviewed my update or the transcript i did not discuss the july 25th call
00:26:41.880
with vice president or any of my colleagues in the office of the vice president or the nsc
00:26:48.200
on august 29th i learned that the vice president would be traveling to poland to meet with president
00:26:53.160
zelensky on september 1st at the september 1st meeting which i attended president zelensky asked
00:26:59.800
the vice president about news articles reporting a hold on u.s security assistance for ukraine the vice
00:27:06.040
president responded that ukraine had the united states unwavering support and promised to relay their
00:27:11.560
conversation to president trump that night during the september 1st meeting neither the vice president nor
00:27:18.120
president zelensky mentioned the specific investigations discussed during the july 25th phone call
00:27:26.200
thank you again for the opportunity to provide this statement i'd be happy to answer any questions
00:27:34.680
now we go to uh lieutenant colonel vinmin and his opening statement thank you for the opportunity to

00:28:38.920
security advisor on ukraine and other countries in my portfolio my role at the nsc is to develop
00:28:45.560
coordinate and implement plans and policies to manage the full range of diplomatic informational
00:28:50.440
military and economic national security issues the countries in my portfolio my core function is to
00:28:56.840
coordinate policy with departments and agencies the committee has heard from many of my colleagues
00:29:03.080
about the strategic importance of ukraine as a bulwark against russian aggression
00:29:06.520
it is important to note that our country's policy of supporting ukrainian sovereignty and territorial
00:29:12.280
integrity promoting ukrainian prosperity and strengthening a free and democratic ukraine
00:29:18.360
as a counter to russian aggression has been a consistent bipartisan foreign policy objective
00:29:24.280
and strategy across various administrations both democratic and republican and that president
00:29:29.400
zelinski's election in april 2019 created an unprecedented opportunity to realize our strategy our
00:29:35.880
strategic objectives in the spring of 2019 i became aware of two disruptive actors
00:29:41.400
primarily ukraine's then prosecutor your elite senko and former mayor rudolf giuliani president's
00:29:47.800
personal attorney promoting false narratives that undermined the united states ukraine policy
00:29:54.200
the nsc and its interagency partners including the state department grew increasingly concerned
00:29:59.320
about the impact that such information was having on our country's ability to achieve our national
00:30:03.800
security objectives on april 21st 2019 vladimir zelinski was elected president of ukraine in a landslide
00:30:11.720
victory on a unity reform and anti-corruption platform president trump called president zelinski on april
00:30:17.960
21st 2019 to congratulate him on his victory i was the staff officer who produced the call materials
00:30:25.320
and was one of the staff officers who listened to the call the call was positive and president trump
00:30:30.200
expressed his desire to work with president zelinski and extended an invitation to visit the white house
00:30:37.000
in may i attended the inauguration of president zelinski as part of the presidential delegation
00:30:42.360
led by secretary perry following the visit the members of the delegation provided president trump a
00:30:48.200
debriefing offering a positive assessment of president zelinski and his team after this debriefing
00:30:53.800
president trump signed a congratulatory letter to president zelinski and extended in another
00:30:59.960
invitation to visit the white house gripping on july 10 2019 alexander danieluk then ukraine's
00:31:06.440
national security i mean none of this sounds insidious from either of them at this point
00:31:11.240
no ambassador volker and sondland ambassadors volker and sondland and secretary rick perry also
00:31:17.240
attended the meeting i attended with dr hill we fully anticipated the ukrainians would raise the
00:31:23.960
issue of meeting of a meeting between the presidents ambassador balton cut the meeting short when
00:31:29.320
ambassador sondland start to speak about the requirement that ukraine deliver specific
00:31:33.800
investigations in order to secure the meeting with president trump following this meeting there was
00:31:38.840
a short debriefing during which ambassador sondland emphasized the importance of ukraine delivering the
00:31:43.720
investigations into the 2016 elections the biden's and brisma now i stated to ambassador sondland
00:31:49.880
that this was inappropriate and had nothing to do with national security uh remember that bolton is
00:31:55.960
also i believe a deep state kind of guy not a deep state obama kind of guy but a deep state
00:32:05.320
kind of guy on the right president zelinski won a parliamentary election in another landslide victory
00:32:10.600
the nsc proposed that president trump call president zelinski to congratulate him on july 25th 2019 the
00:32:19.240
call occurred i listened on the in on the call in the situation room with white house colleagues
00:32:26.280
i was concerned by the call what i heard was inappropriate and i reported my concerns to mr eisenberg
00:32:33.240
it is improper for the president of the united states to demand a foreign government investigate a u.s
00:32:37.800
citizen and a political opponent i was also clear that if ukraine pursued an investigation it was
00:32:45.720
it was also clear that if ukraine pursued an investigation into the 2016 elections the biden's
00:32:51.080
and brisma it would be interpreted as a partisan play this would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing
00:32:56.440
bipartisan support undermining u.s national security and advancing russia's if i ask a question on this this
00:33:02.520
first of all um that's not all he was asking to investigate he was asking to investigate even if it
00:33:09.320
was let's just say it was you're investigating the vice president and his son who was paid millions of
00:33:17.960
dollars for no reason while the father was distributing funds to that country for the industry that the son was
00:33:28.440
just in right that's bad corruption by the way those funds were all lost okay so we have we have seven
00:33:37.400
billion dollars that just disappeared and the target of this investigation was the main competition
00:33:43.400
to the company joe biden's son was working for correct so what what exactly is the problem here
00:33:50.760
asking for that yes he happened to have been running for uh the president you know as the president's
00:33:58.360
opponent not yet but not yet but would be so yes there was an added benefit there but every we were
00:34:05.000
talking about this being investigated before trump got into office you know these things should have been
00:34:11.080
investigated before but we know why they weren't because of the deep state the other thing is when they
00:34:18.680
say they didn't want to bring this up you know they want trump investigating this stuff because it
00:34:23.240
would be such it would be seen as bipartisan i mean uh uh partisan partisan and the bipartisan agreement
00:34:30.040
on ukraine would go away well what's happening now yeah what's this this is what is this they're
00:34:36.760
very much now involved in political uh disputes in the united states right i mean all the stuff that
00:34:42.840
they said they wanted to stop they're now they're doing on the behalf of and everything that they said
00:34:47.800
donald trump was doing they're doing this idea that you can't you can't investigate a political
00:34:54.120
opponent because they're a political opponent what are democrats doing right now would you say
00:34:59.400
are they are they investigating the you know president trump should president trump be immune from all
00:35:05.000
investigation because he's the political opponent of the democrats like no that's why this being so
00:35:10.280
partisan is so bad because there's there's if if this were true if this was if this was a legitimate
00:35:19.080
in inquiry it would be okay if it was a legitimate inquiry into russia but it wasn't as we found out
00:35:28.120
i was for the inquiry into russia and i didn't think that trump did anything but do i think i'd like to know
00:35:34.840
if he did yeah and i did think that trump would have liked to do something you know anybody hillary
00:35:41.000
clinton everyone if somebody comes to you and says hey i by the way i've got the dirt on it's going to
00:35:46.360
take him out i think all i think every politician under the sun is having that meeting and they want
00:35:52.680
something to happen or at least they're having some aid right off the record somehow or another they're
00:35:57.160
taking that meeting so uh you know let's not be so high and mighty here however if he had done that
00:36:05.240
and he was colluding with russia i would have been all for the impeachment all for it but as we as we
00:36:12.840
come to find out that's not what was happening this was a partisan investigation into him this is a
00:36:19.720
partisan investigation into into him now if you were going to do it fairly openly and you were
00:36:27.000
actually looking for honest answers this is great but this is using tens of millions of dollars if not
00:36:35.080
hundreds of millions of dollars for what to discredit the president of the united states who's running for
00:36:43.000
re-election which is the same thing they're investigating trump trump for doing right like it's hilarious
00:36:49.320
they're legitimately doing the same thing yeah the same thing okay they're getting into questions
00:36:53.880
here in just a second so let me pause and then we'll come back as they get into questions because
00:36:58.120

schiff he's he's about to start asking questions we also have fart gate uh that is uh that is
00:39:10.600
happening we need a fart investigation on this because i don't i don't know if i buy the media
00:39:15.160
spit on it you know there's there's too much conflicting information can we please play eric
00:39:20.280
swalwell uh being interviewed by uh chris matthews yesterday this audio is real taxpayer dollars to
00:39:30.040
ask the ukrainians to help him cheat an election and the complaint that i've heard from republic
00:39:35.400
all right let's hear it one more time one more time taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help
00:39:39.800
him cheat an election and the complaint that i mean his shoulders go up yeah i mean there's a physical
00:39:45.480
reaction visually that yeah and he pauses now chris matthews says that's just a coffee cup coming
00:39:51.880
across the table let's listen to it with thinking about a coffee cup could it be a coffee cup taxpayer
00:39:58.520
dollars to ask the ukrainians to help him cheat an election and the complaint that i've heard from a
00:40:03.560
could be maybe i don't know it could be we should try to recreate a coffee cup here
00:40:08.600
well you gotta take it take the the uh the pens out of it you might need some liquid do you have
00:40:16.440
any liquid you can put in that thing well i gotta get all this this table is too smooth i think yeah
00:40:23.400
it is well what kind of i mean they're getting no you're getting no friction at all on this table
00:40:29.960
what kind of play that again what kind of table does that have taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to
00:40:34.440
help him cheat an election and the complaint that i've heard chris matthews is the one who said it
00:40:38.920
i i don't think that there would be a problem believing that chris matthews has bad gas problems
00:40:44.280
well and there's an indication i mean this goes back historically to whoever smelt it dealt it correct
00:40:48.680
um and so correct now is that hearsay do you have first-hand knowledge of he who smelt it dealt it or is
00:40:56.920
this i mean i i mean hearsay don't get me wrong hearsay is as good as good as gold as good as gold as
00:41:03.320
any first-hand i was there eyewitness kind of stuff here's the thing to me it while it does sort of
00:41:11.880
look like swalwell farts there i don't know if the audio fits it there's not it's an he's in an echoey
00:41:17.640
room he's supposedly wearing a lapel mic which would not indicate like it's too far away from his butt for
00:41:24.680
the for the the air to be that clear let's play it one more time taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians
00:41:32.520
to help him cheat an election and the complex i don't know it seems to me more like chris matthews
00:41:37.880
ripped one in the studio and he's trying to hide it i don't know but our investigation it'll go into
00:41:42.520
tens of millions of dollars and we'll spend about three years on fart gate as we look into what's in
00:41:49.320
swalwell's pants and what did chris matthews know and when did he know it you're listening to glenn
00:41:55.480
back i prefer not to look at what's in swalwell's pants myself but that's a you know that's what to
00:42:01.320
you might be a separate investigation i mean i'm not interested either but i gotta get to the facts
00:42:07.960
do we have to take do we have to take all the stuff that they're
00:42:12.280
testifying we have i mean really we can drop in and out yeah drop in and out we have selena zito on who
00:42:17.480
wrote an article yesterday and i i'm i'm more interested in how this is affecting people and
00:42:24.360
selena is really the one that she wrote the book the great revolt she was the one who nailed the trump
00:42:30.520
election and everybody celebrated her but now that she's saying yeah i think it might kind of happen the
00:42:36.920
same way um you know nobody wants to talk about it she's got a great story that she wrote uh yesterday
00:42:44.280
we're going to talk to her about what effect is is happening in america on voters
00:43:05.240
the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program in a country increasingly
00:43:12.920
engaged with national politics and divided the next 12 months may feel like the next 12 years
00:43:19.640
voters in both trenches are eager to vote convinced not only of a victory but also a vindication
00:43:26.120
the shocking result in 2016 was not a black swan in a regular election deviating from normalcy but
00:43:33.400
instead the indicator of the realignment that is described in the book the great revolt
00:43:38.680
the story of america's evolving political topography is one of tectonic plates slowly grinding against
00:43:48.280
each other until a break notably alters the landscape with seismic consequences
00:43:55.640
the person who is probably the best to tell us the effects of the impeachment and what people are
00:44:02.280
actually feeling is actually feeling is a woman who spends her whole life just traveling the back roads
00:44:08.920
the small towns of america and listens to people her name is selena zito she's the author of the great
00:44:16.200
revolt she has an update on that and we go to her in one minute

yesterday you you have the the new phase of the great revolt uh and as i'm as i'm reading it last
00:47:10.520
night i'm gathering that what people did in the uh the congressional and state elections here recently
00:47:20.760
we should not necessarily take that to mean anything for the presidential election
00:47:25.560
and then that's absolutely right let's take uh the kentucky governor's race for for a moment
00:47:32.440
uh if anybody understood kentucky or ever went there in the national press they wouldn't be writing oh
00:47:40.600
it's all over because the republican kentucky governor lost i spent a lot of time in kentucky uh matt bevin was
00:47:47.960
not very popular the point of view of him by the people who live there is that he was a carpet
00:47:55.160
bagger you know he didn't understand kentucky culture and he he made a lot of series of
00:48:01.640
um successive um out of touch decisions yeah about about his state and and and governor's races
00:48:11.880
are about being connected to the people and and he did not demonstrate that he was and if you look
00:48:20.600
down ballot republicans not only won hugely like in the secretary of state race uh or the attorney
00:48:29.400
general race but also they gained seats in the um in the senate and in the house so i think that that
00:48:37.560
saying oh this means we know republicans don't want trump no it meant that kentucky voters were
00:48:44.200
unsatisfied with matt bevin all right so i'm we're we're watching the impeachment today and
00:48:50.680
i think it's just hardening people's positions there's there's nothing there's nothing new here
00:48:58.280
as we're watching there's no smoking gun people who are against donald trump are so against him they'll
00:49:05.080
do anything to get him out uh for those who are really even fence sitters on donald trump i think
00:49:12.680
they look at this and say this is not this doesn't even make sense to me and i think it it hardens
00:49:20.600
people on which way they were leaning it's absolutely correct and to tell you what it reminds me of do you
00:49:27.480
remember when scott walker won uh the governor's race uh in 2010 and then there was a recall election
00:49:36.520
because you know the people who lost were unhappy essentially that's what it was and
00:49:42.680
he came back and won that with higher percentage because people who didn't even vote for him
00:49:50.840
thought you know what this is bogus this is sore loserism and i'm going to vote for him because
00:49:58.120
i think the behavior of the democrats is wrong and you can i'm finding a lot of that sentiment
00:50:04.600
among among um among trump skeptics who don't can particularly care for his comportment which by
00:50:12.440
the way is probably 70 of trump voters they don't care for his comportment they like the results they
00:50:19.160
also understand that you need to be a mean sob to to sort of break up the swamp's behavior in the
00:50:29.000
establishment behavior on both sides to make effective change i i will tell you selena i said
00:50:36.520
this i mean we talked right after i said this right at the beginning if if you want to be effective
00:50:43.880
and actually go against donald trump you can't just throw everything at him you they started from the
00:50:53.080
beginning and it drove it drove people i mean when i when i put the maga hat on i don't know about a
00:50:59.560
year or two ago mine was not a full-throated endorsement of donald trump because i like many
00:51:06.280
of his policies for instance side note your honor just what he did with israel just yesterday i like
00:51:12.200
many of his policies but he is so hard to defend because his because of the way he just is but you know
00:51:20.760
what the way they're taking him on in congress through the state department and in the media
00:51:27.880
god bless him just keep going donald just keep going you're there's a sentiment shared by
00:51:35.000
by people and here's here's what really always gets under my skin going is that the people in my
00:51:40.600
profession don't understand that sentiment and you know why because they live in the super zip codes of
00:51:46.040
this country um and and they don't know anyone who thinks or looks or acts uh the way that people do
00:51:54.600
outside of those super zip codes they control the media they control entertainment they control sports
00:52:00.840
they control corporations and this this populist coalition has been building for over 12 years
00:52:08.680
donald trump didn't cause it he is the result of it and the important thing about the great revolt is
00:52:15.400
this continues long after 2020 this coalition is not going away for at least a generation what i would
00:52:24.440
tell people to do is everyone in in my profession that says oh it's all up to the suburbs that's right
00:52:30.760
but not all suburbs are created equal suburban voter in erie county pennsylvania or kenosha wisconsin or
00:52:39.800
baldwin uh michigan or mccone county michigan um does not look act or behave the same way a suburban
00:52:49.400
voter in philadelphia or northern virginia behaved and votes those are the voters who are going to make
00:52:56.120
a difference they have the exact same education that their cousins have in northern virginia in philadelphia
00:53:02.200
but they live among a variety of different um viewpoints and they are connected and rooted to
00:53:10.440
community where voters in in north and like northern virginia are very transient they aren't rooted to
00:53:17.320
their community community doesn't mean the same thing and voting for donald trump is about community and
00:53:23.080
localism and i have to tell you i and and and i would love to hear you respond to this selena
00:53:28.600
uh as i travel around i just have this sense that there's a lot of people that would have voted for
00:53:38.520
another candidate that wasn't corrupt and wasn't a hardcore socialist and or even hanging around all the
00:53:47.480
socialists i think there's a lot of people who are democrats who are blue collar etc etc who may not like
00:53:54.760
donald trump but will vote for him because they feel like the democratic party has left the building
00:54:03.160
and they have left the insane socialists in charge yes that's absolutely true all you have to do is keep
00:54:10.920
your eye on western pennsylvania throughout this whole process um most of the candidates on the democratic
00:54:16.200
side that are running said they believe in a ban on fracking on day one well let me tell you western
00:54:22.360
pennsylvania eastern ohio also texas colorado kansas north dakota these are areas that are thriving
00:54:30.120
because of the the shale industry uh lives and communities are being changed because they are now
00:54:37.880
prosperous again and and and so to ban it is to take how are you going to sort of it's a binary
00:54:45.560
choice right i've got trump who i like his policies don't like his personality i got the democrats oh they
00:54:50.920
want to take my job away on the day they're sworn in i think i'll go with the guy with the little
00:54:56.200
weird twitter account because at least he has my back and a democrat cannot win the white house without
00:55:04.120
winning pennsylvania a republican can and a democrat cannot win pennsylvania without winning western
00:55:09.640
pennsylvania so if that is that's why you you have to keep an eye on those areas because that's where
00:55:17.720
those sentiments will be reflected anytime someone visits there and they will understand why trump
00:55:25.880
if it was held tomorrow he would win the election and that's hard for people who live out in live in
00:55:32.600
either the east coast or the west coast um to to understand because they don't know anybody else in
00:55:38.920
the middle remember this this is in the great revolt the 34 of trump voters in 2016 which right now seems
00:55:47.240
like the aussie and harriet hour era because it seems nicer than it was today yeah um 34 of trump
00:55:54.920
voters did not tell family member or friend that they were voting for him 34 that was in 2016.
00:56:03.000
i mean i can't even my mind just can't even wrap around how people would how they're going to
00:56:11.080
approach it now given the intensity of the cancel culture you know i mean you say you're going to
00:56:18.280
vote for trump you have to worry about losing your job or affecting the people that work for you or
00:56:22.840
affecting your family or affecting your social status how is how is the impeachment affecting all of this
00:56:29.800
you had it absolutely right if you love trump and on election day 2016 you're still um optimistic
00:56:38.440
about the future but what about those what about those what about those swing people this the the
00:56:43.400
people that are you know they're they they don't necessarily like that they are voting for a republican
00:56:50.520
let alone donald trump what about those people who voted for him last time has this made any impact on
00:56:55.960
them none zero i have a story coming out about that in the new york post on on sunday i went back to
00:57:03.160
the people in the book people that were skeptical people that had a hard time um you know and people
00:57:08.840
who supported him outright um but had reservations uh that not it's groundhog day nothing has changed
00:57:15.560
their support for him has only gotten stronger because they look at this and say you know they've
00:57:20.040
been trying to impeach him since day one they just finally found something they think can make stick
00:57:25.080
but but it they they and they're watching this intensely like there's there's no they're there i mean
00:57:33.320
in their minds they think this is not an impeachable offense this is something that someone does who's
00:57:41.400
not part of the washington system and this is how they behave this is how trump always behaves what
00:57:46.840
about those democrats what about those democrats who vote for democrats but they are afraid of the
00:57:52.760
socialist movement of the democrat uh will they just sit it out or will they vote for the socialist
00:58:01.240
democrat or a democrat no they won't vote for the socialist democrat they'll either sit it out or
00:58:09.000
they'll hold their nose and vote for trump uh that's why i keep my eye on minnesota as well
00:58:14.040
um that's a state he only lost by 45 000 votes and i just spent some time there and you see the the
00:58:22.360
swing towards him in that state and that broadens his coalition uh that doesn't add to shrinking his
00:58:31.480
coalition so um i've heard talk from some people that they believe that this could be a reagan mondale
00:58:39.320
election i don't think it would be that strong but do you think there is a chance that it's a
00:58:44.840
it's not anything like we're expecting if the democrats go too crazy on this impeachment which
00:58:50.920
have already shown that they have no problem doing and they pick someone very far left such as elizabeth
00:58:58.840
warren or pete budigich uh then yeah you would see a land side election absolutely all right with no doubt in
00:59:05.560
my mind selena thank you so much the name of the book is the great revolt um i'm anxious to see your
00:59:11.560
next article and uh and get the update uh to your book selena is the one who really listened to people
00:59:18.840
um and was the one who finally really just listening to her explained it to me and i was like oh my gosh
00:59:25.560
i get it it's called the great revolt um by her and brad todd who uh who also is instrumental in in
00:59:33.240
putting this together it's out in paperback now selena thank you so much thanks so much for having
00:59:38.520
me you bet god bless all right we have uh you know it's interesting because i i i seem to recall
00:59:48.360
stew don't you that when you have hearings like this don't you have the one side ask a question
00:59:56.440
then the other side ask a question then your side ask a question that's an interesting approach
01:00:00.680
yeah they've decided to do this a little differently they uh they seem to be asking all of their
01:00:05.000
questions and then they break for afternoon uh when everybody is gone and then they then they let you
01:00:11.720
ask your questions in the afternoon so you don't really get any of the other side at the same time
01:00:17.320
which is i've not seen before and is so slanted by the way they have five people to test them uh to
01:00:23.480
testify three of them are the ones that the republicans wanted that's why you have two this morning and then
01:00:31.160
later this afternoon and into the evening when no one is watching is when the democrats are going
01:00:39.320
to allow the republicans to have their people testify i mean look they control the process you
01:00:45.480
know it's incredible i mean it's the way it's set up it's in the constitution that way they can kind
01:00:49.560
of do it however they want however if they actually wanted to convince the american people that this was
01:00:56.200
going on and they believed in their case wouldn't they try to be more fair yes all right let me tell
01:01:01.400

so i don't know stew who who are the who are the democrats going to have to run i mean it must be joe
01:02:31.960
biden i mean this doesn't seem to be affecting him yet but if the president does go and he's not going
01:02:39.080
to testify now with these hearings but if they take this up in the senate and they actually have
01:02:45.160
a real trial where you can call the whistleblower etc etc this is going to destroy joe biden just
01:02:52.840
destroy him and then who you left with well uh mayor pete is there for you uh mayor pete now leading in
01:02:59.720
iowa according to the most recent poll there by the des moines register that one of the top rated
01:03:04.520
pollsters in the country uh he is up by eight or ten points there and buddha judge you know i know
01:03:10.560
selena mentioned him as a far left candidate which of course i would fully agree with uh but he is not
01:03:16.800
positioning himself that way in the primary he is trying to say he is the moderate option but people
01:03:22.360
are not going to believe it people are not going to buy that in the general they just won't believe
01:03:28.600
it in the general i really don't think so well he's trying to he's trying to give i mean remember
01:03:33.440
this is we were talking about chick-fil-a today this is a guy who came out kind of famously and said
01:03:37.400
yeah i'm gay but i still like chick-fil-a like he's trying to position himself there and you know
01:03:43.440
he's he's from the midwest he's from this region that uh that trump won the election in i mean he is
01:03:50.820
this is he's not real successful in his little teeny town i'm not making an argument for buddha no i know
01:03:56.460
by any means for you to vote for him i know i described him yesterday though as uh just the latest
01:04:02.700
pair of pumps that the democrats are trying on go shoe shopping with your wife she'll try on a
01:04:09.580
whole buttload of shoes and she'll like them when she tries them on and then she'll say i'm going to
01:04:15.580
try one more pair and she'll like that and then you'll end up walking out without buying anything
01:04:20.740
that's who he is just the next set of pumps you're listening to glenn beck gold line you know
01:04:29.960
when you say are you prepared for retirement out loud it's a little scary to be honest what what is
01:04:37.240
it that you were supposed to do how prepared are you now and even if you prepared are you ready because
01:04:44.920
man the next 10 years could be i mean everything could be up in the air and most likely will be
01:04:51.340
that's why i include precious metals in anything that i am investing in gold and silver is so important
01:04:59.520
because there is already a rush on gold in russia there is a rush on gold in china the swedes are
01:05:07.800

01:05:12.760

01:06:39.760
just days after vice president biden forced the firing of the country's chief prosecutor
01:06:44.640
again sir i was not working on ukraine policy during that time yeah none of these are trick
01:06:50.420
questions i'm just trying to get through them i understand yeah did you know that barisma lawyers
01:06:54.920
pressured the state department in february 2016 after the raid and month before the firing of shokin
01:07:01.480
and that they invoked hunter biden's name as a reason to intervene i was not aware
01:07:06.920
does you know that joe biden called ukrainian president porchenko at least three times in
01:07:12.140
february 2016 after the president and owner of barisma's home was raided on february 2nd by the
01:07:18.840
state prosecutor's office not at the time again i've become aware of that through this proceeding
01:07:23.920
thank you ms williams uh lieutenant colonel veneman i'm going to ask you uh same questions
01:07:31.560
uh just to establish some basic facts about your knowledge about ukraine burisma and the role of
01:07:37.640
the biden's uh in september 2015 u.s ambassador to ukraine jeffrey pyatt publicly called for an
01:07:46.000
investigation into slashevsky the president of burisma were you aware of these public statements
01:07:50.940
i wasn't aware of them at the time when did you become aware of them during the course of the
01:07:57.380
testimony and the depositions after this impeachment inquiry began did you know of anti-trump efforts by
01:08:05.120
various ukrainian government officials as well as alexander chalupa a dnc consultant i'm not aware of
01:08:11.720
any uh any um any of these interference efforts did you know about deputy assistant secretary of
01:08:19.380
states kent's concerns about potential conflict of interest with hunter biden sitting on the board of
01:08:24.140
barisma only uh the only thing i'm aware of is uh pertains to his deposition as you know that
01:08:31.820
financial records show a ukrainian natural gas company barisma routed more than three million
01:08:36.120
dollars to the american accounts tied to hunter biden i'm not aware of this uh this fact
01:08:41.720
until recently i i guess i didn't independently look into it i'm just not aware of uh you know what
01:08:51.980
kind of payments mr biden may have received this is not something i'm aware of you know that
01:08:57.120
barisma's american legal representatives met with ukrainian officials just days after vice
01:09:01.140
president biden forced the firing of the country's chief prosecutor i'm not aware of these meetings
01:09:06.260
did you know that barisma lawyers pressured the state department in february 2016 after the raid and
01:09:12.920
a month before the firing of shokin that they invoked hunter biden's name as a reason to intervene
01:09:18.280
i'm not aware of any of these facts did you know that joe biden called ukrainian president porchenko
01:09:27.280
at least three times in february 2016 after the president and owner of brisma's home was raided on
01:09:33.220
february 2nd by the state prosecutor's office i'm aware of the fact that president biden or vice
01:09:40.240
president biden was uh very engaged on ukraine and had numerous engagements that's what i'm aware of
01:09:45.840
mr williams and lieutenant colonel vindman as you may or may not know this committee has spent nearly
01:09:56.440
three years conducting various investigations starting with the russia collusion hoax
01:10:00.720
fisa abuse democratic hysteria over the lack of collusion in the muller report
01:10:06.780
and now this impeachment charade one of the most concerning things regarding all of these
01:10:12.480
investigations is the amount of classified or otherwise sensitive information i read in the
01:10:18.000
press that derive either from this committee or sources in the administration to be clear i'm not
01:10:24.280
accusing either one of you of leaking information however given that you are the first witnesses
01:10:28.880
who actually have some first-hand knowledge of the president's call by listening in on july 25th
01:10:35.080
it's imperative to the american public's understanding of the events that we get a quick matters out of the
01:10:41.760
few matters out of the way first miss williams let me just go to you first
01:10:51.120
for the purposes of the following questions i'm only asking about the time period between
01:10:58.160
from july 25th to september 25th okay did you discuss the july 25th phone call between president
01:11:07.120
trump and president zielinski or any matters associated with a phone call with any members
01:11:12.000
of the press no to be clear you never discussed these matters with the new york times the washington
01:11:18.880
post politico cnn or any other media outlet no i did not did you ask or encourage any individual
01:11:26.240
to share the substance of the july 25th phone call or any matter associated with the call
01:11:30.480
with any uh member of the press i did not do you know of any individual who discussed the substance
01:11:37.920

effort to out the whistleblower uh through the use of these proceedings um if the witness has a good
01:15:28.560
faith belief that this may reveal the identity of the whistleblower that is not the purpose that we
01:15:35.440
are here for and i want to advise uh the witness accordingly unbelievable mr vindman you testified in

who the whistleblower was or is i do not know who the whistleblower is that is how is it possible for
01:16:04.000
you to name these people and then out the whistleblower per the advice of my counsel i've been advised
01:16:13.200
not to answer quite specific questions about members of the intelligence community
01:16:19.600
this is are you aware that this is the intelligence committee that's conducting an impeachment hearing
01:16:24.480
of course i am wouldn't the appropriate place for you to come to to testify would be the intelligence
01:16:32.240
committee about someone within the intelligence community remember per the advice of my counsel
01:16:38.720
and the instructions from the chairman i've been advised not to provide any specifics on who i've spoken
01:16:45.760
to with inside the intelligence community what i can offer is that these were properly cleared
01:16:51.040
individuals or was a properly cleared individual with a need to know well this is uh
01:17:00.960
i mean you can really you can plead the fifth but you're here to answer questions and you're here
01:17:06.400
under subpoena uh so you can either answer the question or you can plead the fifth excuse me uh
01:17:14.160
uh on behalf of the attorney we are uh following the rule of the committee the rule of the chair with
01:17:22.000
regard to this issue and this does not call for an answer that is invoking the fifth or any theoretical
01:17:29.680
issue like that we're following the ruling of the chair what counselor what ruling is that i could
01:17:36.640
interject council is correct whistleblower has the right statutory right to anonymity these proceedings will not
01:17:42.720
be used to out the whistleblower and and i've advised my client accordingly and he's going to follow the
01:17:50.080
ruling of the chair if there's a alternative or you want to work something out with the chair that's up to
01:17:56.800
you mr nunes well we've attempted to subpoena the whistleblower to sit for a deposition uh the chair has
01:18:04.480
tabled that motion and then has been unwilling to recognize those motions uh over the last few days of
01:18:11.600
this impeachment inquisition process well that i'll go to mr castor thank you remember notice he uses the
01:18:19.040
word inquisition uh and he's absolutely right on this this is an inquisition where you don't have a
01:18:26.800
right to face your accuser you don't have a right to know all of the information this is the intelligence
01:18:33.920
committee and for the intelligence officers uh to not answer to the intelligence committee
01:18:42.800
on what was happening in the intelligence community there is no oversight it makes it makes not only
01:18:51.200
the state department not have to answer to the president of the united states for foreign policy but now
01:18:58.640
this kind of behavior makes the intelligence community not have to answer to the intelligence
01:19:05.680
committee who's responsible for anything anymore more in just a second
01:19:15.120
let me tell you about uh relief factor when you climb the ladder of time eventually
01:19:19.840

01:19:46.400
to lose and i can gain a lot well you know the story by now only a few weeks later greg's aches and
01:19:54.320
pains began to melt away he got his life back he can climb the ladder of his life again when taken
01:20:02.000
properly relief factor attacks the inflammation that causes so much of our pain and it works for 70 of
01:20:08.960

01:21:08.880
out and they said they were giving up uh their charity a contract uh ran out with uh the uh
01:21:15.360
charity known as the salvation army and the press is spinning this as a as you know they're just going
01:21:22.240

that's uh an official uh official response from santa about uh chick-fil-a distancing themselves from
01:23:07.760
the salvation army which i am not sure that's anything other than spin on what actually happened
01:23:15.040
from chick-fil-a we're waiting for a comment from chick-fil-a tinsel is a relatively gay product
01:23:22.080
though i will say i never really thought of it that way no i but it kind of is i still don't think of
01:23:26.640
it that way but uh we have the last hour of uh the impeachment we're we're going to be looking
01:23:49.600
into a couple of other things including the chick-fil-a thing i just don't understand it but as
01:23:54.640
we read more into it it looks like that kind of is what chick-fil-a is saying we think i hope not
01:23:59.920
but we think let me tell you about um our spotlight sponsor and that's relief factor two years ago it
01:24:08.560
was two years ago in about three weeks that uh i went up to the ranch which i could barely do anymore
01:24:14.240
because it's cold and cold affects me at very high altitude and the altitude affects me and uh i said i
01:24:21.840
just can't live this way anymore and tanya said before you completely give up try relief factor
01:24:28.240
just try it please and i did and it has changed my life i'm not dreading going to the mountains uh
01:24:35.120
for the holidays because i don't have to anymore relief factor it worked for me give it a shot
01:24:41.200
please try it for three weeks call 800-500-8384 relieffactor.com
01:24:47.680
the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment i i honestly don't understand how thinking people
01:25:12.240
are consuming this impeachment uh hearing and feeling that a it's fair or even consistent
01:25:22.560
and i i want to start there as we continue our coverage on the impeachment hearings in one minute
01:25:33.760
okay imagine your cell phone is a voting booth and every time you use your cell phone you're voting for
01:25:41.280
impeachment you're voting for open borders you're voting for gun confiscation that call to your
01:25:47.600
mother just voted for abortion that's the way you need to look at this it's a horrible thought but it's
01:25:56.080
not unrealistic because this is what you're doing when you spend money with all of the cell phone
01:26:01.840
companies that hate everything you believe in just to add insult to injury these cell phone carriers
01:26:08.080
have all kinds of hidden fees like at&t's administrative fee you know the one they're
01:26:14.160
currently getting sued over what is that compare that with patriot mobile the only
01:26:20.080
uh conservative phone company in the nation they not only support your values with no hidden fees
01:26:26.400
but for a limited time they're also giving you a free moto z3 when you open up a new line a free
01:26:31.200
moto z3 when you open a new line the offer is only valid through cyber monday when you call
01:26:37.120
877-367-7524 why not use a carrier who believes in the same things you do and isn't voting with their money
01:26:47.280
your money every time you make a phone call they donate to those causes patriot mobile doesn't do that
01:26:53.840
switching is really easy you'll get reliable 4g lte nationwide service for as low as 25 bucks a month
01:27:00.800
plus you're helping preserve the country that we love it's patriot mobile dot com slash beck
01:27:05.760
patriot mobile dot com slash beck or call their us-based team at 877-367-7524 877-367-7524
01:27:30.800
so now we're talking to uh now we're talking to the people that we've already really heard from we've
01:27:35.840
heard from lieutenant colonel vindman he's a nsc guy he uh he was there uh at the white house
01:27:45.840
it's his testimony on what what happened and how they're you know how there was collusion but
01:27:52.880
not really you know the how there was bribery but not really it's based basically on how he feels i
01:28:02.560
felt this was wrong okay well i appreciate your feelings i do appreciate your feelings um but
01:28:12.160
do you have any more than your feelings we're going to give you all the entire breakdown here
01:28:19.440
um at five o'clock this afternoon on what's what is happening today in the impeachment trial
01:28:26.000
uh but i i can't help but in listening to this then ask just for just just give me a couple of minutes
01:28:36.640
and and let me ask three questions right now we are being told that asking for an investigation
01:28:48.640
on joe biden was targeting of a political opponent and it is impeachable
01:28:57.280
okay all right i let's say i give you that all right asking for an investigation
01:29:05.680
on someone who is your uh foe in an upcoming election is impeachable
01:29:14.640
why because just this the hint of scandal hurts them right just the hint of scandal hurts them
01:29:33.600
to make sure that information gets out if there is actual corruption let me ask the question this way
01:29:39.040
asking for an investigation on biden was targeting a political opponent and it is impeachable
01:29:44.960
but doing an investigation based on the steel dossier is not impeachable
01:29:55.120
launching this investigation this impeachment based on a partisan whistleblower
01:30:01.920
is somehow heroic and an and the job of congress
01:30:06.080
yet calling for an investigation on the corruption of a democratic vice president is impeachable
01:30:14.000
i can't give you both i can't i give you one looking into your opponent is either impeachable
01:30:23.200
or it is not i can't say it is sometimes and not the other you can't tell me well that was just a
01:30:31.280
political campaign well that's what the steel dossier was so that was a political campaign
01:30:38.880
you can't say well he's in the administration well
01:30:42.560
barack obama and hillary clinton we have evidence that they were working to discredit
01:30:49.120
donald trump and his campaign the same way that people are accusing
01:30:54.320
uh donald trump using his administrative power to discredit joe biden
01:31:05.040
this is question number one why aren't why are they different can you explain how they're different
01:31:13.840
question number two holding back aid and then later releasing it to ukraine all of the money
01:31:20.640
and doing that only after that same administration had already delivered military support in a
01:31:29.040
javelin missile system is somehow not only impeachable but it shows support for russia
01:31:37.200
and u.s weakness towards a ukraine that's what they're saying now donald trump held this back which
01:31:43.840
was a clear sign to russia even though the ukrainians didn't know we were holding it back it somehow
01:31:50.800
the russians did and it was a sign that the united states was weak on ukraine and wasn't really going
01:31:59.280
to support them even though they had already given a missile system the second missile system
01:32:05.600
was held back for a couple of months however at the same time holding back all the military aid during an
01:32:19.280
actual conflict with ukraine the united states held back military support when ukraine was actually in the
01:32:30.640
military military conflict with russia that administration that was outwardly open working
01:32:39.360
towards a reset with russia and who had said during the 2012 election mr romney the 1980s called and they
01:32:48.080
want their foreign policy back that was not sending a signal of weakness on u.s support for ukraine
01:32:55.920
you can't have both you have to pick one or the other
01:33:10.880
by ukraine doing an investigation into corruption of u.s officials
01:33:18.400
by asking ukraine to do an investigation into corruption of u.s officials investigating what
01:33:24.960
happened to our seven billion dollar investment as well as looking into election tampering where
01:33:30.320
two ukrainian officials including the head of the anti-corruption bureau that was set up by the american
01:33:37.520
and ukrainian administration in a partnership the head one of the guys that was convicted was the head of
01:33:46.000
that bureau found guilty in a ukrainian court of law for tampering with the u.s elections
01:33:54.080
to throw it toward hillary by asking to investigate that would destroy the bipartisan support for ukraine
01:34:07.680
so does that mean that the democrats all know that ukraine
01:34:11.120
is corrupt and in their corner and so they will no longer support it to be free
01:34:15.680
because the democrats doing an investigation on trump's asking for this investigation
01:34:35.040
i i don't understand how come one is an affront and the other is not one is bipartisan and one is not
01:34:45.120
one is impeachable and one is not this impeachment doesn't help russia
01:34:55.840
i'm only looking for consistency and i would love to hear somebody that can answer those questions
01:35:03.520
how is it impeachable to look into somebody's corrupt history if one side does it and it's
01:35:10.720
it's heroic if the other side does it and they're both in power and they're both running against
01:35:15.840
each other how's that work it's all flavored by the same thing which is they are going into this
01:35:23.440
with the assumption that donald trump is guilty of everything they're accusing him of he's this
01:35:27.600
really bad person who's doing these really bad things so therefore obviously if if he's doing these
01:35:33.200
things for these bad reasons he should be punished and it's okay it's a just investigation because
01:35:39.040
he's a bad guy doing bad things however biden isn't he's a good guy doing good things but if
01:35:45.600
you go into it with that prism of course you see it this way but then you have to then you have to
01:35:50.240
accept that the people who are holding the hearings themselves do not believe that all investigations are
01:35:57.600
just and they can't like this is such a weird line they're trying to draw with the biden part of
01:36:04.960
this anyone like they're trying to convict donald trump of in wanting to investigate his political opponents
01:36:15.520
but they are investigating their political opponents so what they're what they're saying here
01:36:20.720
and i just want to make this clear what they're saying here is all investigations are not equal
01:36:27.520
and all investigations done by our government are not just if that investigation went on it would not
01:36:35.840
be just and that's what they did with they did the same thing with benghazi exactly right
01:36:40.880
exactly right it's not those are good things people doing good things correct i just want people to connect with
01:36:46.880
that because what that means is there is no justice one size fits all there is there is one court that
01:36:56.800
could be very very just and one court that is very very evil we're not working on the same handbook we're
01:37:03.280
not working on the same set of rules if it's conducted by these people it's fine if it's not conducted by those
01:37:11.920
people it's not fine which means you better be careful on whose camp and whose side you're on
01:37:18.080
right and this is such a huge point and it's such a good one you bring up because
01:37:22.400
what they are proposing essentially is a system in which your political opponent has immunity for
01:37:29.200
anything they do you can't investigate them if you're a republican so any but but on the other side
01:37:36.400
you can do it with democrats it shows they have no moral consistency here at all because the idea
01:37:41.840
isn't well we you went after uh biden after knowing there was nothing there we all know there's big
01:37:49.360
questions right we all know there's big questions there though and even the new york times says that
01:37:54.560
they've all done it yeah they've all that now at this point they've all written big reports on this
01:37:58.480
whether this stuff was questioned and you know what's interesting is why haven't they called
01:38:02.880
uh john carrey's stepson yeah it's a great one john carrey's stepson comes out and says to hunter
01:38:10.480
biden i'm not doing this man i'm not going with the with the ukrainian thing this is crazy this is
01:38:18.080
really crazy you're gonna get nailed for this this is not good and he backs out and says i'm i just
01:38:25.840
want to make it really clear i'm not part of it well you know that john carrey heard that from his
01:38:31.920
son you know that he had to have gone to john carrey and said hey is this cool i mean really because
01:38:39.520
this doesn't seem right to me which means that he either didn't talk to his father or which i don't
01:38:45.920
believe or his father said stay way away from this one son stay way away he's on record
01:38:55.520
getting away from those two because he said to them you're in a different league here this is
01:39:03.280
really bad how come we're not hearing that because this isn't a hearing this isn't a trial this is an
01:39:12.160
inquisition all right if you've been thinking about home security there's no better time to get it than
01:39:23.520
right now simply safe is offering their best deal of the year you're gonna get 25 off any new system
01:39:30.960
plus an hd free hd security camera i talk about simply safe home security every week i've been

01:40:42.560
all right uh welcome to the um welcome to the program uh the health intelligence committee is
01:40:57.120
going to resume shortly they've taken a break uh so they'll let the uh as soon as everybody's out
01:41:05.040
and you know on their lunch break or they're you know doing things this afternoon getting ready to go
01:41:10.320
home they're going to start this thing right back up so the republicans can have their time
01:41:15.120
oh yeah look it's the messaging here is simple we're going to be super fair we're going to make sure
01:41:20.560
both sides are heard uh it's a high priority for the house have you seen anything like this before
01:41:25.360
well i mean look they can't you know it is a partisan exercise and they have 100 of the power
01:41:31.680
to set these rules they don't have to do anything for the republicans doesn't that shouldn't that
01:41:36.320
frighten every decent democrat because if they want to railroad you they want to railroad your
01:41:43.200
industry they decide what's right and wrong they will do it any way they want 100 they will and the
01:41:51.360
thing here is which i find is interesting is not the fact that the democrats would bend the rules so
01:41:56.320
that they can you know manipulate this process into the best possible outcome for them that is not
01:42:03.920
particularly surprising to me what is surprising to me is they don't even seem to be attempting
01:42:10.320
to try to convince a non um left-wing person that this was going on correct because if you did
01:42:20.160
you would at least have on the face you'd say look this is fair we let them have these witnesses we
01:42:25.440
let them have these extra questioning we're going out of our way to let them present their case because
01:42:28.960
we know their case sucks so come on here make your case we'll argue about it and then once the
01:42:35.280
american people hear it they're going to go turn on public opinion and all those republican senators
01:42:40.000
over there are going to switch sides and vote on our side that's not what they're attempting to do
01:42:44.320
here and it's and it's so clear that they have nothing remember this is the tuesday before we all go
01:42:50.480
away for thanksgiving yeah okay next week it's done no one pays attention no one no one pays attention
01:42:56.480
next week no one really pays that much attention unless it's a nuclear explosion before christmas right
01:43:02.720
so they have taken their best shots last week was the time to put your a game on then this week put put
01:43:13.040
your b plus game on i have not heard anything that makes me or anyone i know go well now wait a minute
01:43:23.040
have you heard this how do you explain this i mean legitimately the biggest moment of this hearing so
01:43:27.680
far i mean this seriously is that uh one guy said one of his aides overheard trump asking about the thing
01:43:36.720
we know he asked about in the transcript right he followed up and said hey now we don't even i mean
01:43:41.600
do we know if that's true i have no idea but he overheard trump say hey what about those investigations
01:43:47.120
and then afterwards they said he cares more about the investigations than he does actually ukraine
01:43:52.240
which would actually make sense considering you know he's the president of the united states and
01:43:55.680
not the president of ukraine and when they and when they asked about uh hearsay the defense actually
01:44:02.720
said or the prosecution in this case actually said hearsay is some this quote hearsay is sometimes
01:44:10.480
better than first-hand knowledge when when can you give me an example of that when i mean i guess
01:44:20.800
maybe if the people if they're if they're accusing the the the first-hand people of lying i mean maybe
01:44:27.920
if they heard someone else heard the truth and those people are lying to cover something up but
01:44:31.600
sondland doesn't seem to be lying he doesn't seem to be on trump's side here i mean he's he's the one
01:44:36.000
that revised his own testimony to say yeah i did tell ukraine about a quid pro quo this is this is
01:44:41.120
a trump guy who said that now that doesn't mean that trump told him that per se but it is what
01:44:46.480
he communicated to ukraine so ukraine thought this was going on for sure unless we don't believe
01:44:51.280
sondland too the point here though is that like they are going this is all stuff that is that points to
01:45:00.320
um i think the overall narrative that we all understand which is donald trump legitimately
01:45:07.360
believed that there was something shady going on with the bidens you can say that yes you can
01:45:12.280
guesstimate and and guess about his motives and say it was 100 politics you can even say
01:45:17.340
he absolutely wanted that information 100 to destroy joe biden however however it was also in the u.s
01:45:25.540
interest if the freaking vice president of the united states is over making shady deals to enrich
01:45:30.380
his children that is completely in the u.s interest it's our money of course it's in the u.s interests
01:45:36.380
now it does that align with uh his personal interest sure and if you can find examples of him oh you know
01:45:44.320
something really hardcore not some aid overhearing a an analysis of another individual of what he cares
01:45:53.240
about i'm talking about actual evidence if you have that that's one thing on the other side of this
01:45:58.680
the same thing can be said about joe biden yes it may have been in the u.s interest to go after these
01:46:03.540
prosecutors who knows but in reality it also just happened to help his son make eighty three thousand
01:46:10.080
dollars at a month at a job he had no right having of course that's something that's in the u.s
01:46:14.920
interest to look into that of course it is you're listening to glenn beck i'll tell you about sandra
01:46:25.080
she was having trouble sleeping for a very long time because all through the night she'd wake up
01:46:28.700
in pain and the problem was the inflammation in her joints you know that achy feeling you get when
01:46:33.620
you have the flu one of the most miserable things sandra was experiencing every night there was she
01:46:40.760
didn't have any hope that it was going to change she thought this is it and she was really starting
01:46:45.500
to despair and be a little bummed out but then a friend told her about relief factor sandra was
01:46:51.360
skeptical she was also desperate so when you have little to lose and a lot to gain if if something
01:46:58.920
works she's decided i'm going to take it she's decided she was taken just for a few days her pain
01:47:04.720
she says began to melt away now she's sleeping like an angel every night relief technically i don't
01:47:10.640
know if angels sleep but relief factor and if they do what if they're on a different time zone than us
01:47:15.140
and my guardian angels is only awake when i'm asleep that's anyway relief factor reduces the
01:47:20.940
inflammation the major source for most pain and you can get it for 1995 a three-week quick start right
01:47:27.080

01:48:03.520
yeah all right uh welcome to the uh program glad you're here i i you know um they've they've been
01:48:15.820
trying really hard to make this into watergate but let me just go through a series of questions
01:48:21.480
uh about watergate stew what is uh what was watergate all about uh
01:48:30.500
uh well what is watergate it's a hotel it's a hotel in washington yep they broke into it and
01:48:35.820
tried to you know get some information on the who broke into it they were oddly up by like 30 points
01:48:40.740
right who broke in uh the underlings of the president the the committee to re-elect the president
01:48:47.180
the committee to re-elect the president broke in they hired a bunch of people to go in in the middle
01:48:53.020
of the night okay yep and break into the watergate what were they looking for i mean any information
01:48:58.800
on their political opponent okay and not necessarily dirt just anything what are they doing they're
01:49:04.720
running anything exactly right where what what are the what are their polls look like anything okay
01:49:09.780
what was the president's role that we know of i mean at that point nothing right i mean it wasn't
01:49:15.800
until afterwards i mean he's in trouble for covering it up afterward okay and how did he try to cover
01:49:21.820
it up i mean using all sorts of uh levers of the government government assets yes right okay cia
01:49:29.120
doj etc etc using government assets to cover up a crime committed in his name or in his interest for
01:49:39.200
pure political reasons and all they were looking for was political dirt right yes national interest
01:49:46.800
uh of anything that would have been found that they thought was their national interest value
01:49:54.540
none unless your only argument is the nixon really needed to be president that was their only argument
01:50:01.080
right there's no national no national interest value it's political value only at all got it
01:50:06.100
all right let me just change a few factors of watergate and see if it changes anything because
01:50:12.500
they're trying to compare it like crazy oh yeah they're they're saying it's the same thing except
01:50:15.980
worse okay well let me just change a few of the things let's say at the watergate hotel is the
01:50:24.900
ukrainian ambassador's residence okay and in his safe is information of electioneering uh corruption by u.s
01:50:38.220
officials at the highest level all the way to the previous president uh that there is uh evidence of
01:50:45.840
of money laundering money that was u.s aid dollars that were laundered by criminals over in ukraine and
01:50:55.800
found its way back here into the united states and you had credible witnesses that worked in and around
01:51:03.880
that embassy and witnessed these things but it involved several people in and around uh the
01:51:13.080
intelligence agencies the department of state and even people in your administration know about it and
01:51:19.340
are covering it up let's say that that's what's in that safe in watergate and the president
01:51:28.400
says to a couple of people doj and cia spooks and says look i can't trust anybody i can trust you
01:51:35.600
i need you to go in and break into that safe because i believe there is evidence of massive
01:51:44.160
corruption in our government and we're about to sell them javelin missiles break into the safe
01:51:51.720
impeachable well no because that's clearly in the u.s interest right i mean he's not there's not a
01:51:59.220
it's not a political reason he's doing that it's a it's in the u.s interest let's say that safe was not
01:52:06.280
in the embassy or the ambassador's house but instead that was in the safe of a guy he was going to run
01:52:13.420
against he had saved all that information uh to use against other people and to keep himself safe
01:52:21.520
so he had all the evidence of everything in his safe but he was the campaign uh that was against
01:52:29.540
the sitting president it wouldn't make a difference right if it's if they've committed crimes against
01:52:34.220
the united states obviously we're summarizing that the president could just ask people to bring in a
01:52:38.740
safe you know i mean like would he be in favor of this investigation of course and would it be
01:52:43.180
justified yes and would the american as soon as trump is out of office you're going to see all of
01:52:48.300
these things happen the democrats are going to go into break into every little corner of safe that
01:52:52.720
they can think of in this analogy to get at donald trump and all the things they believe he did
01:52:57.780
right right you're also going to see i think eventually you will see all of the dirt come out and
01:53:04.720
you will see that in that safe if you will was all the evidence was all the evidence because now
01:53:11.740
what we have is a president who they're trying to compare to nixon who was breaking into the dnc
01:53:17.100
instead breaking into a safe that has all of the evidence he brings it out he even tells people before
01:53:26.120
he does it somebody should look into that safe somebody should look into that safe he instructs people
01:53:33.340
in his own departments somebody should look into that safe nobody does finally two people that work
01:53:41.100
at that house go to the president's attorney and says you know that everything is in that safe right
01:53:47.820
yes and we've been trying to get people well we can help you get it really yes then that attorney
01:53:57.100
goes on air and says i got two people who's helped me break into this safe okay that's not a good that's
01:54:04.660
not a smooth criminal i i have two people that are going to help me break into this safe and get all this
01:54:09.840
information they do it then that same attorney brings it to the justice department and says ah by the
01:54:18.680
way i broke into the safe and here's what i found how could you possibly in your right mind say oh they
01:54:30.520
were trying to get away with this they they told everybody what they were going to do breaking into
01:54:36.460
the safe they asked other people to go to the safe then when they broke into the safe and they got
01:54:41.260
all the information they brought it to the authorities it seems to me like something is in that safe
01:54:50.880
that very powerful people more powerful in the collective than the president of the united states
01:54:59.020
do not want coming out the state department the cia the justice department the media the dnc
01:55:09.920
none of them want this to come out it's fascinating i mean the double the double standard is uh so clear
01:55:18.220
on this one think about this glenn the main thing about just go back to the simple form of this with
01:55:24.280
joe biden potentially enriching his kid because of u.s policy right yeah very basic thing this is
01:55:30.360
something he wants to look into right that is impeachable for using any that is an impeachable
01:55:37.200
offense for the president united states remember think about like the way and many many democrats
01:55:43.380
have called for this already investigations of how donald trump and his policies have benefited
01:55:50.160
his children oh yeah it is legitimately like they wanted kellyanne conway charged with a hatch i think
01:55:57.900
it was a was it a is it the hatch act that i'm thinking yes yeah because she said ivanka trump's
01:56:03.820
clothing line was good and you should go buy some remember that they wanted an investigation
01:56:09.040
and and they wanted to charge her because she said that on television because they said oh well
01:56:16.600
this administration is trying to benefit their children so but they have no interest in the
01:56:20.120
biden thing whatsoever so who is it that is using the levers of government like nixon
01:56:24.720
and who's using the levers of government like the guy trying to break into the ambassador's safe
01:56:33.880
it's very very clear which which one is uh uh happening hang on just a second we have some
01:56:41.040
breaking uh we have some breaking news uh can we are we going to uh stop for the breaking news
01:56:47.840
uh oh we do okay we have an update on fart investigation 2019 oh fart fart fart investigation
01:56:56.040
fart investigation yes fart gate being investigated fart gate which is eric swalwell farting on national
01:57:02.720
television or did he right well this is the big controversy i i will tell you it took a lot to
01:57:09.240
restrain myself but i did restrain myself on twitter yesterday because i thought there's no way that fart
01:57:13.980
is somebody just added that fart onto that and i wasn't going to be a part of that but now i find
01:57:20.860
out and this is real i come in the morning and yes that sound was not added later this is the original
01:57:27.700
clip with eric swalwell and chris matthews uh you'll hear eric talking and then somebody just rips one in
01:57:34.120
the middle of the statement and you see a physical reaction by swalwell but that is that misleading people
01:57:41.800
from the real facts behind the story here's the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used
01:57:48.760
taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help him cheat an election dollars to ask the ukrainians to
01:57:54.060
help him cheat an election looks like he pushes it out with the e like it's yeah i mean he's just
01:58:00.340
through the election and that was what pushes it out it does look like it does look like it does look
01:58:05.620
likely now looks can be deceiving yes now chris matthews it i was going to present this the way
01:58:13.360
that the alternate theory is is developing chris matthews he's back in studio he knows it's not eric
01:58:19.220
swalwell eric swalwell's taking all the heat for it so what does he do swalwell's going to call him
01:58:23.480
out and said you're the guy that farted matthews you're the guy who farted on television and matthews
01:58:27.960
has to come out and release a statement saying no it wasn't swalwell or swalwell will come out with
01:58:33.160
the truth so what he does is he said oh it was a mug we've already tried to uh to simulate the
01:58:38.040
mug do you want to give us another quick mug simulation here's a mug on my desk here it is
01:58:42.860
does not sound like a fart does not sound like a fart what does not sound like a fart we know that
01:58:48.880
okay well investigations are going on and information is coming out and there have maybe
01:58:53.660
been some other situations where chris matthews has farted on the air during interviews don't believe
01:59:00.120
it that would be the normal stance and it would be one i would understand right okay okay all right
01:59:05.560
but let me just present the evidence all right go ahead here is clip number one and said that when
01:59:10.680
he pleaded guilty to these charges in the southern district of new york but what's different is today
01:59:15.240
is that now you heard that that sounded very similar to the cup across the desk it did sound a lot like
01:59:22.140
the cup across the desk what is this desk made out of like i don't understand fart sounding material of
01:59:28.100
some sort not a thing right okay okay all right next clip another clip of chris matthews doing an
01:59:33.460
interview listen don't you wow what a critique and with me now is scott arsenal he's the executive
01:59:37.340
director of the florida democratic party and bob schrump is a democratic strategist has been through a lot
01:59:41.940
of these races scott just give me the skinny here can we get a clean fair honest now have these been added
01:59:49.980
because it sounds like they've been added i don't know i'm not told this is a real investigation i don't i
01:59:55.920
don't i don't know your source of who is collecting fart sounds from chris matthews many sources around
02:00:04.560
the internet actually okay so there's another one here's another one you're taking the president
02:00:08.200
of the united states down into it so that really depends on how it's ultimately structured if they
02:00:12.840
were able to make some sort of it i mean you're i'm hearing them i'm hearing them too and i will tell
02:00:19.560
you he is at that point to where he's an old man he's very old glenn yeah and sometimes when you hit
02:00:27.800
that age that starts with a one and then has a two after it and then there's like a three or four after
02:00:33.160
that things are hard to control right i mean like it's not chris's fault per se i mean if when i get
02:00:39.600
into that situation i'm going to be saying to you know doris kerns goodwin pull my finger right i mean
02:00:45.660
you just go for it i'll just go for it i'll just go for it but uh but chris is i think so what you're
02:00:51.300
saying here in this fart investigation is that don't be so hasty uh it's probably not swalwell yeah
02:00:58.480
and so people are blaming swalwell and look he's had a rough year uh you know there's an argument to
02:01:04.280
be made that the fart in question lasted longer than his campaign right and that's not good smelt about
02:01:10.040
the same maybe maybe better however uh as much as i think swalwell is a funny target of this
02:01:18.760
number one i want the truth okay that's what we're about that's what we're about right okay that's
02:01:25.180
number one number two i feel like chris matthews might be a better target no one knows who eric
02:01:29.980
swalwell is no one cares eric swalwell kind of came and went and no one's gonna ever hear from the guy
02:01:35.600
again chris matthews is is a guy i kind of want to believe farts on the air i want it to be true
02:01:42.260
and therefore it should tell you this i mean is this a i had to work in an atmosphere with an old
02:01:49.400
man that was farting all the time because i think there's a lesser me too movement that could be had
02:01:56.780
me number two movement yeah i mean no he didn't touch me or grope me or anything like that right but
02:02:03.300
he farted around me all the time especially during interviews this is why you notice none of these
02:02:10.220
interviews are guests in studio they've all booked it to be outside you know tomorrow we might do a we
02:02:15.660
might do an expose on this and we ask you tomorrow to just wear a green brownish greenish uh ribbon uh
02:02:24.360
on your on your lapel tomorrow in support you can hear did you hear that yeah no i
02:02:34.660
this is not a borderline issue that's a montage of all three clips okay i
02:02:42.620
am actually paying people to make fart montages uh i am re-evaluating a fartage
02:02:49.220
a fartage thank you thank you steward appreciate what you bring to the table today uh all right
02:02:55.940
uh let me tell you a little bit about uh um our sponsor this half hour and it is lifelock
02:03:03.060
new reports suggest that companies are underestimating the damage that could be done if employees data is
02:03:08.540
stolen and leaked to the dark web or wider internet employee email addresses are a broad entry point
02:03:15.700
into a company system and having access to employee data can lead to many many of the security issues
