WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE TENNESSEE

SENATOR MARSHA BLACKBURN.

IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU.

I'VE GOT A START WITH THE

BASIC QUESTION, BASED ON WHAT

WE KNOW NOW, WOULD YOU VOTE TO

CONVICT PRESIDENT TRUMP IF

THERE'S A TRIAL.

>> OF COURSE NOT.

WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT THE HOUSE

IS PROBABLY GOING TO PICK THIS

UP.

THEY ARE WANTING TO PROVE QUID

PRO QUO THAT SOMETHING

NEFARIOUS WAS DONE, BUT THIS

IS THEIR MULLER DO OVER AND

THEY ARE TRYING TO GO AT IT

AGAIN.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO REALIZE

THIS IS A THREE-YEAR PROCESS

FOR THEM.

WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THE CALL

TOOK PLACE ON JULY 25.

WE DO KNOW THERE IS NO

EVIDENCE OF A QUID PRO QUO

WHILE.

AND WE DO KNOW THAT THE RULES

HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY THE CIA

ON HOW A WHISTLEBLOWER

COMPLAINT CAN BE FILED.

OVER THE PAST YEAR, IT WAS

CHANGED SO THAT YOU WOULD HAVE

THE ABILITY FOR SOMEONE TO

FILE A COMPLAINT WITHOUT

FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE.

>> IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS

WHOLE STORY, THIS IS SOMETHING

WE'VE SEEN OVER AND OVER IN

THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I MEANT

TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE MEDIA

AND ITS BIAS LATER ON.

SURELY YOU CAN'T BE OKAY WITH

IT, ANY OF THIS, IS THERE

OTHER ELEMENTS THAT YOU WANT

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT.

>> WE WANT TO FIND OUT ABOUT

EVERYTHING, BUT HERE'S WHAT WE

ALSO KNOW IS THAT THE

PRESIDENT DIDN'T WAIT FOR

SOMETHING TO BE MADE PUBLIC.

HE MADE IT PUBLIC HIMSELF

BECAUSE HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT

HE WAS IN THE RIGHT.

A LOT OF TRANSPARENCY, THEY

TRY TO SAY THERE'S A

COVER-UP.

THERE IS NO COVER-UP WHEN YOU

RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPT THAT IS

AT THE HEART OF THIS, BUT THEY

ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP GOING

AFTER DONALD TRUMP.

HE IS THE ONE WHO IS BREAKING

APART THEIR VERSION OF

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON, AND HE

SAID HE WAS GOING TO DRAIN THE

SWAMP.

HE IS DRAINING THE SWAMP.

HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO MOVE

POWER BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

HE IS MOVING THAT POWER BACK

TO THE PEOPLE, AND WE KNOW

FROM THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE

JULY 25 PHONE CALL, THAT THERE

IS NO EVIDENCE OF QUID PRO QUO

AND WE KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN AT

THIS FOR THREE YEARS.

>> YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS

IN THE SENATE THIS WEEK, AND

YOU MENTIONED WASN'T LIKE A

TELEPHONE TOWN HALL, TELL US

ABOUT THAT.

>> I DO THESE PERIODICALLY AND

IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR PEOPLE TO

WEIGH IN ON ISSUES OF CONCERN

TO THEM, AND THERE'S ALWAYS A

VARIETY OF ISSUES THAT ARE

COVERED, BUT IT WAS SO

INTERESTING TO ME THAT PEOPLE

WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE

PRESIDENT, THAT WERE GRATEFUL

FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING

DONE FOR THE ECONOMY AND THE

WAY IT IS GROWING, THE WAY YOU

ARE SEEING JOBS GROW IN THE

CALLS AND E-MAILS AND THE

TENNESSEANS THAT I HAVE SEEN

THIS WEEK, AND THEY'RE SAYING

STAND WITH THE PRESIDENT, I

WAS JUST CHECKING SOME E-MAILS

AND I HAD ONE FROM A LADY WHO

I SO VALUE HER OPINION.

SHE'S A CHEF AND HAS WORKED IN

THE FEUD INDUSTRY AND SHE SAID

WHERE ARE PEOPLE WITH

BACKBONE.

WHO IS GOING TO STAND AND

DEFEND THIS OF MINISTRY.

WHO IS GOING TO DEFEND OUR

CONSTITUTION AND MAKE CERTAIN

THAT WE THE PEOPLE RETAIN THE

POWER AND THAT THE ELITISTS

DON'T GRAB IT ALL BACK UP AND

CUT US OUT OF THE PROCESS.
