That's right.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is The Ben Shapiro show.

Now, you may get the sense that I'm not taking this super seriously.

That's because I'm kind of not.

And given the witness testimony that we expect,

the answer is probably not. The answer is probably not. The only other question here is whether Democrats are going to be capable of sinking President Trump's sort of public relations

stance. Are you going to see the support for impeachment rise just because

there is so much bad press surrounding impeachment and because President Trump continues to

insist against pretty much all the evidence that the phone call with Ukraine was absolutely

perfect. Nothing wrong with it. Absolutely 100% what Abraham Lincoln would have done.

That is not the reason that's not a smart strategy, honestly, in terms of public relations. in terms of impeachment, doesn't really matter what a strategy is, what's going to be is what's going to be. But in terms of public relations, the reason that's not a smart strategy is the same reason it is not a brilliant idea to go out at the beginning of your presidency and say, we are going to have 5% growth every year for the rest of my tenure. The reason it's not smart to say that is because if you come in at four percent which is great then everybody goes oh well you said five and you

completely missed the boat well if you say that everything with ukraine was absolutely 100

perfect unbelievable and then people like well doesn't look that perfect to me it makes them more

suspicious of your entire claim that's why it is a bad public relations

strategy, as I've been saying from the beginning. The president is not his own best lawyer. But of course,

today is when the public impeachment hearings begin. Ooh, public impeachment hearings. And

all of these hearings are basically going to repeat the testimony that we saw behind closed
