>> Sean: JUST SAT DOWN WITH

VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE IN

NEW YORK TO DISCUSS ALL THE

CONTROVERSY WITH THE SO-CALLED

WHISTLE-BLOWER.

WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT IT.

ALSO ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP.

HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.

>> Vice President Pence: I

>> Vice President Pence: E

>> Vice President Pence: L

>> Vice President Pence: T

>> Vice President Pence: S

>> Vice President Pence: F

>> Vice President Pence: L

>> Vice President Pence: H

>> Vice President Pence: S

>> Vice President Pence: U

>> Vice President Pence: R

>> Vice President Pence: I

>> Vice President Pence: E

THING.

IT'S LIKE MANNA FROM HEAVEN.

WE ARE NOW DISCOVERING THE

WHISTLE-BLOWER, IT WAS NOT

FIRST-HAND KNOWLEDGE.

EVEN THE MEDIA IS NOW REPORTING

IN SOME PLACES THAT THERE WAS NO

QUID PRO QUO.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

>> Vice President Pence: HERE

WE GO AGAIN.

THE WORST MEDIA.

TAKES ONE REPORT, RUNS WITH IT.

DEMOCRATS ON CAPITOL HILL

IMMEDIATELY START TO DENOUNCE

THE PRESIDENT BEFORE ANYBODY HAS

THE FACTS.

BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN VERY

CLEAR ON THIS.

HE MADE A CONGRATULATORY CALL TO

PRESIDENT ZELINSKI, WHICH WAS A

LANDSLIDE ELECTION.

THE PRESIDENT SPOKE TO HIM ABOUT

OUR CONCERN, INVESTING HUNDREDS

AND MILLIONS OF

AMERICAN DOLLARS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE IT CLEAR

THAT WE'VE GOT TO SEE REFORMS.

WE'VE GOT TO SEE HONESTY IN

GOVERNMENT.

HIS CONGRATULATORY CALL WAS ALL

ABOUT THAT.

HE MENTIONED VICE PRESIDENT

BIDEN AND HIS SON AND THE

CONTEXT OF US WANTING TO SEE

HONEST GOVERNMENT.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE AMERICAN

TAXPAYER WOULD EXPECT.

SEE WHEN HERE YOU HAVE,

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN BRAGGING ON

TAPE, "YOU ARE NOT GETTING

$1 MILLION.

YOU EITHER FIRE THE PROSECUTOR.

WHY WOULD THE VICE PRESIDENT

WANT TO FIRE HIM?

WHY WOULD A VICE PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES AMERICA WANT A

UKRAINIAN PROSECUTOR FIRED?

WHAT CONCEIVABLE REASON WOULD

THAT BE?

>> Vice President Pence: IT'S

REALLY REMARKABLE.

EVERYTHING THAT THE MEDIA WANTS

TO ASSUME OF HOW THE PRESIDENT'S

PHONE CALL IN JULY WENT.

HE ADMITTED TO, ON CAMERA, IN

JANUARY 2018, HE SAID THAT WHEN

HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES, HE HAD A QUID PRO

QUO.

HE HE SAID TO UKRAINIAN OFFICIA

HE HE SAID TO UKRAINIAN OFFICIS

HE HE SAID TO UKRAINIAN OFFICI,

YOU WILL NOT GET AMERICAN AID

UNLESS YOU FIRE A PROSECUTOR.

>> Sean: HE'S MAKING A LOT OF

MONEY.

APPARENTLY WITH NO BACKGROUND.

>> Vice President Pence: OF

THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW.

TO HAVE A VICE PRESIDENT

THREATENING, THAT'S THE QUID PRO

QUO.

AS THE PRESIDENT SAID IN HIS

CONVERSATION THAT EVERYONE IS

VERY INTERESTED IN NOW, HIS

CONVERSATION WITH

PRESIDENT ZELINSKI, THAT HE

SPOKE ABOUT CONGRATULATIONS.

HE SPOKE ABOUT OUR SUPPORT FOR

THE UKRAINE.

HE SPOKE ABOUT OUR CONCERN ABOUT

CORRUPTION.

BUT THERE WAS NO QUID PRO QUO.

IF PEOPLE WANT TO SEE A QUID PRO

QUO, THEY JUST WANT TO SEE THE

TAPE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN.

OVER $1 BILLION.

>> Sean: I WOULD SAY

BLACKMAIL.

AM I WRONG ON THAT?

>> Vice President Pence: SEAN,

I CAN TELL YOU, THIS IS A

COUNTRY THAT WAS OVERRUN BY

RUSSIA.

IT'S A COUNTRY THAT IS STILL AT

WAR.

THEY STILL HAVE, WE BELIEVE,

RUSSIAN ELEMENTS THERE.

THEY ARE TRYING TO LITERALLY

TEAR THE UKRAINE APART.

FOR VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO

REFUSED TO GIVE MILITARY AID TO

UKRAINE, TO THREATEN WHAT

REMAINED OF THAT AID UNLESS THEY

RESPONDED TO HIS DEMANDS ABOUT

FIRING A PROSECUTOR, WHO AMONG

OTHER THINGS WAS INVESTIGATING

THE COMPANY HIS SON SERVED ON

THE BOARD OF, LOOK, THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE JUST DESERVE TO KNOW THE

FACTS.

WHAT THEY CAN BE CONFIDENT OF IS

THAT THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS

THAT ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATION,

THE PRESIDENT'S CONVERSATION,

WERE ALL BASED UPON PROPER

CONSIDERATIONS OF HOW WE SUPPORT

UKRAINE, HOW WE SUPPORT THEIR

EFFORTS TO END AN ERA OF

CORRUPTION IN THEIR GOVERNMENT

AND ADVANCE THE INTEREST OF

THEIR SOVEREIGNTY.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT

TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT

HAPPENED IN 2016 AND HAVE A

RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THE

CIRCUMSTANCES WERE AROUND HAVING

A SITTING VICE PRESIDENT

THREATEN TO WITHHOLD AMERICAN

AID.

LOOK, AGAIN, THE IRONIC THING IS

THAT EVERYTHING THAT OUR CRITICS

IN THE MEDIA ARE LEVELING AT

THIS PRESIDENT FROM THIS PHONE

CALL.

EVERYTHING THE DEMOCRATS ON

CAPITOL HILL ARE RUNNING OFF AND

DESCRIBING COME OF

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN BRAGGED

ABOUT, WHICH IS LIQUID PRO QUOTE

ABOUT, WHICH IS LIQUID PRO QUOT.

>> Sean: WOULDN'T HELP THE

PRESIDENT TO RELEASE A

TRANSCRIPT?

>> Vice President Pence: THAT

WOULD BE A DECISION FOR THE

PRESIDENT TO MAKE.

CONVERSATIONS WITH LEADERS

AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE

CANDID, THAT ARE OPEN.

FOR LEADERS TO BE CONCERNED IN

THE FUTURE THAT A CONVERSATION

THAT THE PRESIDENT MIGHT MAKE

ITS WAY INTO THE PUBLIC, WOULD

UNDERMINE THE ABILITY OF THE

PRESIDENT TO HAVE THOSE

DISCUSSIONS IN THE FUTURE.

SO ANOTHER PRESIDENT WOULD LIKE

TO DO IT.

I KNOW HE'S LOOKING AT ALL THE
