>> Mike: KEVIN CORKE AND

WEST PALM BEACH.

THANKS A LOT.

OUR FIRST GUEST HAS A HAND IN

BOTH OF TONIGHT'S TOP STORIES,

BEGINNING WITH IMPEACHMENT

INTRIGUE, STARTED WITH A TREAT

DURING THE MARATHON HOUSE

HEARINGS.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSOR

JONATHAN TURLEY SAYING "THE

WITHHOLDING OF THE ARTICLES IS

NOT WHOLLY FACIALLY

INAPPROPRIATE, IT SHATTERS THE

FRAGILE RATIONALE FOR THE

HOUSE'S RUSH TO IMPEACH."

CONGRESSMAN JIM BANKS OF INDIA

AND US.

HE SITS

ON THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE

AS WELL.

CONGRESSMAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THIS WAS DAVE FOUR OF JOE BIDEN

TRYING TO ADDRESS HOW HE WOULD

HANDLE A SUBPOENA FROM SENATE

REPUBLICANS.

LET'S LISTEN.

>> BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO IS

PLAY THE GAME.

HE'S DONE THIS HIS WHOLE CAREER.

TO GET THE ATTENTION.

AND THAT WAS THE POINT I WAS

MAKING.

I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE ANY

LEGITIMACY TO THE NOTION OF

CALLING AS A WITNESS.

>> Mike: THIS HAS BEEN GOING

SINCE FRIDAY.

YOUR REACTION, CONGRESSMAN?

>> MIKE, POLITICIANS DON'T MAKE

UP A COLOSSAL FLIP-FLOP LIKE

THAT UNLESS THEY TOOK A POLL AND

REALIZE THAT THEY MADE ONE HECK

OF A POLITICAL MISTAKE.

JOE BIDEN UNDERSTANDS NOW THAT

HE IS CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND

A HARD PLACE.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO

KNOW MORE ABOUT JOE BIDEN'S

CORRUPT ACTIVITIES WITH HIS SON,

HUNTER BIDEN, SERVING ON THE

BOARD OF AN ENERGY COMPANY IN

UKRAINE, SELLING ACCESS TO HIS

FATHER AND THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION.

THAT IS WHAT HAS GOT US TO WHERE

WE ARE AT THIS POINT.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO

KNOW MORE.

AND IF HE IS SUBPOENAED TO

APPEAR BEFORE A COMMITTEE DURING

THE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS IN THE

SENATE, JOE BIDEN KNOWS THAT HE

IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT AND

IT IS NOT GOING TO GO WELL FOR

HIM OR HIS PRESIDENTIAL

PROSPECTS.

>> Mike: I'M SURE SOME ON THE

OTHER SIDE WOULD SAY, UNPROVEN

CORRUPT, YOUR COLLEAGUE IS

EXPRESSING FRUSTRATION.

>> YOU DON'T GO THROUGH THE

FIRST PART IN THE HOUSE AND THEN

QUEUED THIS UP FOR A SENATE

PROCESS WITH A GUY THAT IS GOING

TO BE IN CHARGE OF ORCHESTRATING

THE ENTIRE SENATE TRIAL, HAVING

SAID THAT THE WHOLE THING IS

ALREADY BAKED AND COOKED AND

THERE IS NOTHING THAT ANYBODY

CAN DO ABOUT IT.

THAT WOULD MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE

ENTIRE SYSTEM.

>> Mike: DO YOU HAVE ANY

CONCERNS ABOUT THE SENATE TRIAL?

>> I HAVE CONCERNS THAT ALL

ALONG THE WAY MY FRIEND JOE AND

NANCY PELOSI AND OTHERS IN THE

HOUSE HAVE MADE THIS PROCESS UP

AS THIS WENT ALONG.

NOW HERE THEY ARE IN THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING AT

HOW MUCH OF A JOKE THIS HAS

BECOME WHERE THE LEADERS IN THE

HOUSE ARE REFUSING TO SEND THE

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO THE

SENATE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS IS

A FLIMSY CASE, THEY FAILED

FUNDAMENTALLY TO MAKE THE CASE

TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT

IMPEACHMENT SHOULD MOVE FORWARD,

AND I HAVE NANCY PELOSI, WHO

SAID THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY, THAT

WE NEED TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT

BECAUSE OF CONCERNS OF NATIONAL

SECURITY, IMPORTANCE OF

UPHOLDING OUR DEMOCRATIC

SYSTEMS, AND NOW SHE IS PROVING

THAT ALL ALONG THAT WAS ALLIED

AMONG MANY OTHER LIES BY NOT

MOVING FORWARD AND ALLOWING THE

SENATE TO DO THEIR JOB IN THE

NEXT STEP OF THIS PROCESS.

EVERYONE SEES THROUGH THIS.

THEY SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

THIS IS ALL ABOUT POLITICS, AND

NANCY PELOSI'S STALL TACTICS

SHOW THAT ONCE AGAIN.

>> Mike: I WANT TO GET TO

IRAN, LAUNCHING STRIKES OVER THE

WEEKEND, CLEARLY TRYING TO SEND

A MESSAGE TO THE REGIME IN

TEHRAN.

YOU ARE ON THE ARMED SERVICES

MEDIA.

WHAT IS YOUR REACTION?

>> MIKE, ONE OF THE UNTOLD

STORIES AND ALL OF THIS IS THE

REMARKABLE RESTRAINT AND WISDOM

THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SHOWN

IN OUR ENGAGEMENTS WITH IRAN

EVER SINCE THE DAY THAT HE CAME

TO OFFICE.

WE REPLACED THE FAILED POLICIES

OF WEAKNESS AND APPEASEMENT THAT

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION,

THROUGH THE JCPOA, THROUGH

REWARDING IRAN FOR BAD

ACTIVITIES, WITH THE MAXIMUM

PRESSURE CAMPAIGN OF THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION WE HAVE SHOWN

STRENGTH EVERY SENSE OF THE WAY.

THE RECENT STRIKES ON IRAN HAVE

BEEN AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO

IRAN'S ACTIVITIES OF LATE.

IRAN HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS,

AND THE STRIKES THAT THE

ADMINISTRATION PULLED OFF IN THE

LAST DAY OR SO HAVE BEEN

APPROPRIATE, EFFECTIVE, AND A

THAT WE SHOWED THAT WE

THAT WE SHOWED TRET WE
