it's a very simple answer, he said the biden's. plural. not one biden, but the biden's. it is clear the president wanted what he wanted from ukraine and investigation to smear his political rival area even if the president wanted an investigation of hunter biden there is no basis for that either. now, how do you know? well, ukraine's former prosecutor general admitted that the allegation against vice president biden's son was plainly false. you can see it on the own words, plainly false. then ukrainian prosecutor general urate lutsenko recanted his earlier allegations and confirmed quote, biden was definitely not involved. in any wrongdoing involving burisma. so, even though ukrainians believed that biden's son did nothing wrong. the long and short of it is that there was no basis for the investigation that the president was pursuing and pushing, none. he was doing it only for his own political benefit. but let's look at one more important reason why it is clear that president trump simply wanted a political benefit from ukraine's announcement of this investigation and d

president biden's son. there is no question that any rational person would like to understand what happened i will go through some additional evidence that is easily available from the house managers that they never considered based on what attorney general bondi told you you can judge for yourself whether that was suspect. with hunter biden's involvement with ukrainian national gas company and is in charge of the portfolio during the administration. and then to identified in a few minutes to the house managers. the other issue and the baseless conspiracy theory that ukraine not rush , terfered in the 2016 election. and that president trump wants to erase from history has previous political misconduct. and the theory any theory was discredited and that it colluded when 2016 and it was that theory that was discredited and found the massive investigation of mr. mueller and that the democrats demanded since president trump tookde office and the same one that they knew they were absolutely sure had which after

it's a very simple answer" he said it, the bidens, plural. not one biden, the bidens. the president was clear with what he wanted from the ukraine, an investigation to smear his political rival. but even if the president wanted an investigation of hunter biden, there was no basis for that either. now, how do you know? ukraine's former prosecutor general admitted that the allegations against vice president biden's son was plainly false. you can see it on the slide, his own words. plainly false. then, ukrainian prosecutor recanted his earlier allegations and confirmed "biden was definitely not involved in any wrongdoing involving burisma." so even the ukrainians that biden's son did nothing wrong. the long and short of it is that there was no basis for the investigation that the president was pursuing. and pushing. none. he was doing it only for his own political benefit. but let's look at one more important reason why it's clear that president trump simply wanted a political benefit from ukraine's announcement of this investigation and didn't care about the underlying c

are there are a lot of people on my side who want to call joe biden and hunter biden. i want to end this thing sooner, rather than later. i don't want to turn it into a circus. i think schumer said yesterday we are not willing to trade a joe biden for anybody. i think i know why. i want the american people to pick the next president, not me. and so what i think is the best thing to have happen is to have oversight of ukrainian potential misconduct and move on to the election. i am not going to move my vote to extend the trial. speak of the republicans have said that they heard nothing new in the opening arguments -- allowing for new evidence and witnesses. >> they say that i have enough to make their case. so, hearing from john bolton, the national security advisor of the present, they chose not to seek him. i would argue that if i were president and you wanted to call my national security advisor, i would probably invoke privilege. but the one thing i can tell you is that we don't want to start a process where you can do impeachment in the house in 48 days, shot legal

and hunter biden situation the headline reads joe biden, his son and the case against a ukrainian oligarch for the quote was incredibly of the vice president's anticorruption message may have been undermined by the association of his son hunter biden with one of ukraine's largest natural gas companies, burisma holdings, with people who are concerned about appearance of conflict, we wanted to correct that headline. shine is attending the task of isolating 3 cities with a combined population of 18 million people in order to stop the threat of the deadly virus. there is a confirmed case of the us and fears about more. ice as neil has more on the coronavirus. >> reporter: this is breaking in the last couple hours, 25-year-old woman was hospitalized in new jersey, doctors are still evaluating her. they haven't quite diagnosed are just yet. medics are monitoring 16 people with close contact with patient 0 as he's being called in washington state. those people have not developed the illness that are being watched. another suspected victim is in a california hospital, that patient arrived at lax f

biden. even chris heinz his own business partner had grave concerns. he thought that working with marie's month - - burisma is unacceptable. he was worried about the corruption in the geopolitical risk and how bad it would look. so he wisely distances himself from hunter biden and devon archer to burisma. he didn't simply call his stepfather, secretary of state and say i have a problem. he didn't tell his friends i'm not getting on the board i want nothing to do with this. he went so far to send an e-mail to senior state department officials about this issue. and he wrote, apparently devon and hunter have joined the board of burisma in a press release went out today. i can't speak to why they decided to but there is no investment by our firm in their company. what is hunter biden do? he stayed on board. what he chris heinz do? subsequently he stopped doing business his college roommate chris heinz spokesperson said, the lack of judgment in this matter was a major catalyst for mr. himes into

interest for joe biden. the article stated, "the move raises questions about a potential conflict of interest for joe biden." even chris hines, hunter biden's own business partner had grave concerns. he thought that working with burisma was unacceptable. this is chris hines. he was worried about the corruption, the geopolitical risk, and how bad it will look. so he wisely distances himself from hunter biden's and devon archer's appointments to burisma. he didn't simply call his stepfather, secretary of state and say, i have a problem with this. he didn't tell his friends, hey guys, i'm not getting on the board. i want nothing to do with this. he went so far as to send an email to a senior state department officials about this issue. this is chris hines. he wrote "apparently, devon and hunter have joined the board of burisma and a press release went out today. i can't speak to why they decided to, but there is no investment by our firm in their company. what did hunter biden to do he stayed on the board. what

president trump is so obsessed with joe biden and hunter biden that he's willing to risk our elections and our national security to go after them, and now the president and his lawyers are willing to risk the purpose of an impeachment trial to go after them. sort of says the same thing. one of the great moments yesterday that was amazing after the revelations about bolton had come out, there is mr. sekulow pointed to the four think so prove and the third one is there are no eyewitnesses to what resident trump did that have testified. give me a break. he has the nerve, the gall, the belief that he can deceive by putting that as one of the things up on his chart when it's been revealed that hunter biden does have eyewitness testimony and is willing to testify. wow. bolton. what did i say? let me say that again. he has the nerve and the gall to get up there and say that there are no eyewitness testimony when we know that john bolton has eyewitness testimony and is going to testify here sorry about that. so the request to call hunter biden are an intentional misdirection, a distraction. th

daughter ashley biden. there is an absolute case where he is using government resources, government influence, government information for the benefit of a family member's business. and, if you can imagine if the charms had done that, i would be outraged but they haven't done that in the bidens have. you can look at his brother frank. >> how many bidens are there. >> i tell you we found five members that receive the sweetheart deals. that is all of the siblings and his living children, of course bo passed away from cancer a few years ago. so it's all five family members, no one has been left out. >> what about this other brother. >> so frank biden starts doing deals in coaster -- costa rica. joe biden comes down and talks with the president about providing aid and cooperation. within months frank biden has a deal with the costa rican power company. he has meetings with the president of costa rica and government ministers. he's setting up an interview company. you can add him to the list. >> he knows nothing

's. >> we heard a lot about vice president biden and joe biden hunter biden what did you think? >>caller: i am aware of burisma that it has been looked into. honestly everybody can't follow everything. i do know if you want to look at hunter biden i do think he did something sketchy. now doubt about it. but hunter is not on trial right now i don't feel that his actions have anything to do with the impeachment of the president of the united states. two wrongs don't make a right. >> here is senator cruise. >> throughout the entire proceeding we have heard just the beginning of the serious evidence of corruption involving burisma that paid hunter biden is said $1 million a year but i will answer the question please let me answer without interrupting me. burisma paid hunter bide biden, $1 million per year while hunter biden threatened london as joe biden threatened to withhold aid unless and until they fire the prosecutor investigating his son. joe biden vice president of the united states. we encourage every news outlet to show the video how he bragged he told the president of ukra

joe biden threatened-- joe biden, vice-president. united states and we just saw a video which would encourage every news outlet to actually show the video of joe biden bragging how he told the president of ukraine he was going to cut off a billion dollars, he was going to block a billion dollars in foreign aid to ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor and in joe biden's own words, sonofabitch, they fired the guy. >> you said you'd answer the question, so-- >> hold on, hold on. >> i'm sorry, let him answer the question. >> i did ask the question-- >> i guess that the press moves to obsess over the latest bombshell. listen, i don't know what john bolton's book says or doesn't say. i've seen the new york times coverage, but at the end of the day, it doesn't impact the legal issue before this senate. the legal issue before this senate is whether a president has the authority to investigate corruption. so the house managers built their entire case on the proposition that investigating burisma skrupgs... we have just seen two hours of ev

now, burisma is where hunter biden, joe biden's son, once served on the board of directors, and it's the company that president trump asked ukranian president zelensky to investigate as a favor in their july phone call. let's talk about this now with james clapper, former director of intelligence. what stands out to you about this cyberattack? >> first, this is kind of standard soviet and now russian activity. it shouldn't be surprising that they would do this, single out burisma and its affiliates as a target. if they see potential for doing as they did in 2016, disrupting our political discourse, it's not clear what they actually got that they might be able to exploit, but it's certainly typical of what the russians would do, and i think we should expect more of this as we approach 2020. and by the way, other countries who are going to go to school or have already gone to school on what the russians have done are going to do the same thing with different agendas. >> any idea what they might have been looking for? >> i assume something that, in their mind, they could exploit that wo

i don't want to call hunter biden. i don't want to call joe biden. i want somebody to look at that when this was done. i've got a from the public record to believe their assertion there is no there there falls short. i know enough about the ukraine to believe we didn't betray the country. i know enough about the president's worldview, he still pissed we give 10% of the military budget. >> wisely about the presidential race, this is about the united states senate. if you take a listen to chuck schumer's statements, putting the trial on members of the united states senate, this is about susan collins. this is about tom tillis. this is about martha mc sally. this is cory gardner. chuck schumer has said as much. this is only partly about removing donald trump and taking his name off of the ballot. it is also about chuck schumer trying to make himself majority leader of the united states senate and there is no way to deny it because he himself has confirmed it. >> there should be more witnesses and documents because no evidence has come out, there was a r

[applause] know, we are at a time in this country's history where everybody understands, trump supporters, independents, people who are democratic supporters, that we are really at one of those inflection points in american history. an awful lot is at stake. an awful l

he said the bidens plural, not one biden. the bidens. it's clear that the president wanted -- what he wanted from ukraine, an investigation to smear his political rival, but even if the president wanted an investigation of hunter biden, there is no basis for that either. now, how do you know? well, ukraine's former prosecutor general admitted that the allegation against vice president biden's son was plainly false. you can see it on the slide, his own words, plainly false. then ukrainian prosecutor general recanted his earlier allegations and confirmed, quote, biden was definitely not involved in any wrongdoing involving burisma. so even the ukrainians believed that biden's son did nothing wrong. the long and short of it is that there was no basis for the investigation that the president was pursuing and pushing, none. he was doing it only for his own political benefit. but let's look at one more important reason why it's clear that president trump simply wanted a political benefit from ukraine's announcement of this investigation and di

president trump, or the bidens. the president's lawyers launching a full throated attack on joe biden and his son hunter. also tonight, remembering kobe bryant, the legend of the los angeles lakers. but first, president trump's impeachment trial. defense attorney alan dershowitz dismissing the report of the new bolton revelations of a quid pro quo. >> if a president, any president, were to have done what the "times" reported about the content of the bolton manuscript that would not constitute an impeachable offense. let me repeat nothing in the bolton revelations, even if true, would rise to the level of an abuse of power, or an impeachable offense. >> so joining me now, cnn's shimon prokupecz, also elie honig and timothy natally. elie, let's talk about dershowitz, saying even if bolton's manuscript is accurate, it's not an impeachable offense. >> no, how could it be okay for a president to do -- again, the question was assuming the truth of john bolton's manuscript, how could it be okay for a president to say i wan

that's why joe biden is winning. that's why joe biden is ahead because he can talk to that voter. she can't figure it out. just on a stylistic note, her almost contemptuous attitude toward him, the mockery that she treats this person with tells you why she has never lived up to the hype that was created for her by the political press. she has been the great bust of the cycle. >> martha: if you don't want to have a beer with her, she's a bust. let's watch a response on this one. >> are you saying tough luck to these people, senator? >> no, what i'm saying there is a $50 per semester option for me. i was able to go to college and become a public school teacher because america had invested in a $50 a semester option for me. today, that's not available. >> martha: that's what not what the shaman is saying. he said, i paid off her student loans because i was careful and responsible and people who didn't do that are going to get relief by raising taxes on everything else, essentially. >> she had two bites at the apple. all she had to say was, i hear you, understand why you are frustrate

and hunter biden's conduct. they spent hours trying to explain away what hunter biden did going to work for a corrupt ukrainian oligarch and joe biden intervening to get that oligarch fired just days after his house was raided by investigators. i think those are serious and legitimate questions. >> if they are irrelevant what are you afraid of? won't that be exposed? >> it's not a question of what i'm afraid of. i'm not afraid of anything. the question is should the trial be used as a vehicle to smear his opponent? is that the purpose of the senate trial? or is it to get to the truth. if it's to get to the truth hunter biden can't tell us anything about the withholding of the military funding. hunter biden can't tell us why the president wouldn't let the president of ukraine into the oval office. hunter biden can't tell us anything about that. so, you know, it's a false choice to say, well, if the house gets to call witnesses doesn't the president? yes, we both get to call witnesses, we both get to call relevant

do your first question, sean, we call them the biden five. there are five biden family members. you've got hunter, you've got his daughter, ashley, through her husband and the business that he literally sat up basically in the oval office with joe biden's help. you've got james, you've got frank, and then you got his sister, valerie. all of them benefited from the political power of joe biden. they cashed in. >> sean: rush limbaugh, explaining why the democrats look so miserable on tv. i think he's nailed it. that's next. ♪ i had a heart problem. i was told to begin my aspirin regimen, and i just didn't listen. until i almost lost my life. my doctors again ordered me to take aspirin, and i do. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. listen to the doctor. take it seriously. (whistling) i feelbusiness cards...new logo...outdoor sign. you always get me. now, get free 1 hour in-store pick up... ...at office depot officemax and officedepot.com. same time next week. yes! >> rush limbaugh, he noticed something unusual about the democrats lately. take a loo

if they bother with witnesses and think they won't call hunter biden and joe biden and the inspector general who has hadh rough testimonies we don't have words from. let's get a full exploration of the sordid biden drama and how democrats got us to this. >> laura: if they really go to witnesses, this could last 4 to 5 months. are you all watching? everyone in this room, you've got to be kidding me. 4 to 5 months. more breaking news today. the justice department made a huge admission about the warrant to spy on carter page. the doj conceding that 2 fisa orders were not valid. the court understands the government to have concluded in view of the material in the statement that the authorization were not valid. victor, here's my question. only two were not valid? this whole thing was not valid. >> yes, it was all invalid. what is striking we knew that the fbi and members of the doj under obama were corrupt. they were trying to destroy u.s. citizens by illegal surveillance. we thought the fisa court justices were deluded. they didn't ask who is the opposition. i think the real subtext is

i think joe biden -- >> senator sanders has been tying to make it an issue by focusing on biden's iraq war record. >> and he's going to do it tonight. i'll make a guess, go out on a limb and say, he's going to do it again. and i think others will, too. i wouldn't be surprised if warren did that. and biden is going to have to defend that vote. but he's going to try to portray himself as the man with experience, the man who can bring stability, and that is also another thing voters here are looking for. they want somebody who can beat donald trump. and people on this stage will compete for that, as well. so it's commander in chief and it's somebody who can take on this president and win. >> i actually think -- i'm sorry. i actually think that is the core of biden argument. the most important thing is to beat trump. i'm the guy who can beat trump. and therefore, i think these scrums with bernie sanders are something that he's actually looking for, because part of his case is going to be, if you don't pick me, it could be him. and he's not going to be able to beat donald trump, because he'

but joe biden. september, 2019, they asked giuliani you did ask ukraine to look into joe biden and the response he insisted of course i did. mr. giuliani insisted ukraine look into an american citizen on behalf of his client, president trump. finally, during the impeachment proceedings, mr. giuliani would dig up dirt to benefit the president. in december, he again traveled to meet with ukrainian officials just described is a secret assignment, an act of which the president reportedly called immediately upon landing what did you get to which mr. giuliani responded more than you can imagine. it's worth noting in ms. raskin's presentation -- repeated requests for investigations into biden, not into corruption. >> mr. chief justice. >> the senator from florida. >> i send a question to the desk on behalf of myself, senator sachs, mcsally and holden. >> thank you. the question from senator rubio and the other senators is for counsel from president. how would the framers view removing a president without a

joe biden is going to change the fate of joe biden. joe biden is either going to win iowa and new hampshire or do really, really well in those two and have momentum going into the two states he's stronger and into super tuesday only three days after south carolina or not do well there. in which case there needs to be a viable centrist alternative to try to stop bernie sanders. that's the role mike bloomberg sees himself as playing. whether we get to a brokered convention, someone gets majority, that's uncharted waters. see what happens. most important, over 30% of delegates will be selected on super tuesday. if we democrats don't have a viable centrist candidate going into that then the sanders train could become unstoppable. that is the theory of the case. >> phil, we know -- >> if that happens the democratic party will erupt into a civil war like we have never seen. bernie sanders supporters are going to completely lose it. you thought 2016 was bad versus hillary, forget it under th scenario. >> we know the president loves to play, d

and that could put biden over the top. paul: this is the 15th percent threshold in caucus halls that if you don't get 15 on the first vote you are out and those people have to reassign who they want to support, that's how the process works? >> exactly, that's where klobuchar -- if you look at the poll that came out, 55% of it would go to biden that could be another 4, 5 points for biden if she doesn't goat 15. paul: so how do you explain biden's stay in power so far, oneover the biggest stories. these are members of congress saying there's no way he's going to make it but here he is and if he wins iowa, he gets a lot of momentum and becomes a real favorite to win the nomination? >> well, good news is he hasn't gone down and the bad news is he hasn't gone up, he's not able to expand his base and his base of loyal, older, deeply committed democrats who know that he was a loyal vice president to president obama, has remained absolutely steady throughout this thing and will be a strong factor in this iowa race and any other pr

of the biden's ukraine conflicts of interest as new information now surfaces alleging that the biden family incorporated story is much bigger than realized. plus, remember when the media blasted president trump for warning about corruption in puerto rico. now this. chaos in puerto rico. a big warehouse discovered there filled with unused u.s. survival and disaster supplies that had been sitting there since hurricane maria in 2017. and bernie sanders, after a week of denying it, he said yes, he does admit now that he does think, quote, gender is an obstacle for female candidates when it comes to taking on trump. that debate tonight. to actor robert de niro saying the situation under president trump is so dire, that actors do have a right to speak out. after comedian ricky gervais criticized actors talking politics. but where are celebrities and talk about what is going on this the backyard, silence as california governor gavin newsom admits that california democrats failed on california's out of control homeless crisis. that story tonight. to boarder -- border security. i.c.e. ratchet

asking biden to be investigated or covering of the fact that bidens did bad things in the ukraine. >> sean: senator thank you, we appreciate your time tonight. you have a big announcement coming up tonight at the end of the show, really big announcement actually. next pretty disgusting, the media mob, the hate trump media mob they found a new liberal savior. you're not going to believe what these crazy people on tv are saying. we will check in with larry logan next. and we are going to investigate even further the bidens. five biden family members that got a very rich because of quid pro robinhood believes now is the time to do money. without the commission fees and account minimums. so, you can start investing wherever you are - even on the bus. download now and get your first stock on us. robinhood. we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you ne

for example, when sanders' surrogate called joe biden corruptnd in op-ed and of course to biden's corrupt, sanders didn't stand by her, instead he apologized. >> joe biden as a friend of mine, i've known him for many, many years, he's a very decent guy and joe and i have strong disagreements on a number a of issues and we will argue those disagreements but it is absolutely not my view that joe is corrupt in any way. >> tucker: so what's your view on joe biden essentially taking bribes from the credit card companies, which are working your life? he folded, and he did the same thing four years ago when he refused to attack hillary clinton over her email scandal, or really anythingemep else. he gave her a pass, how did she repay him? by attacking sanders and his supporters as sexist while suggesting that millions who backed him are a bunch of "nobodies." a journalist at the gray zone, one of our favorite guests, joins us tonight. great to see it in a period two things, do you think that sanders' recent rise, and we'll see if it sustains, but it's real, is the result of the establishment on t

biden on the board of burisma? if you can talk about the accusations are and also significantly, this whole issue of reciprocal witnesses, the idea republicans could call hunter biden to testify? clearly, biden is getting very nervous about this, too. >> he is, amy. yes, this could cut both ways. people will be very defensive bibiden and say he is being unfairly attacked, he has been cleared, he did not do o anythig wrong. on the other hand, some people will think, well, where there is smoke there is fire and this does not look good by joeoe bidn wass the vice president at the same time hunter biden was on the board of bereavement, a very, very lucrative position -- board of marie's mother, a very, very lucrative position. biden, consistent with the obaba administratition's policy, he ws pressuring ukraine to get rid of a corrupt prosecutor because the u.s. policy was to oppose corruption in ukraine. context,ally in that biden did not do anything wrong. however, that doesn't mean that the fact that he is in this po

and it hasn't hurt joe biden. nationally in the polls -- >> sanders is leapfrogging him. >> we'll see. and maybe bernie sanders will be able to win the nomination but i think when he gets to south carolina that will be tough. but this is kind of the way of the world, right? famous people, whether it sports or entertainment or politics, your family or your friends become these people who think that you might be able to help them get a job or get some sort of a contract. in this case joe biden doesn't have to do anything. he just is the vice president so people will flock, like his brother, i think they did charter schools in florida. it's very interesting and when i think is a little puzzling as last night the biden team put out an ad in which they're trying to explain joe biden's role in all ukraine stuff. and up until then he hadn't had to talk about it at all and is three biggest competitors, warren,'s sanders, and amy klobuchar. he's got iowa all to himself and instead they put out an ad about ukraine. >> that'

did the trial damage joe biden? mistakes adam schiff and nancy pelosi made as now even nancy pelosi is joining in to slam and insult the senate. democrats soon may be weaking up to a failed three-year push to out of the president. we've got the new polls have a centrist democrat think tank that find voters in the blue wall of battleground states, they do not like bernie sanders far left policies. and critics warn that joe biden, talking tough, even publicly chastising voters, that will not play with them as bernie is rising in the polls, revelations grow about the biden family cashing in on joe biden's name. also tonight, former trump campaign advisor carter page is trying to hold democrats accountable if the government won't. carter page suing the dnc, the democrat national committee for funding false opposition research used by the fbi to spy on carter page. the world health organization finally declaring, that the coronavirus outbreak is a public health emergency. it is spreading exponentially. we've got the late
