This is the Tom Hartman program.

And greetings my friends, Patriots,

Lovers of Democracy Truth and Justice, Believers in Peace, Freedom,

and The American way.

Well, the House is debating right now,

the whole impeachment thing,

and I'm not going to go to it because we've heard it all so often you know we basically know both sides right

the democrats are saying Trump tried to shake down Ukraine in fact actually it looks

like maybe he even succeeded in some ways at shaking down Ukraine.

And he's still freezing them out.

They haven't had, Zilinsky hasn't had his White House meeting yet, but he had to meet with

Putin to try to negotiate

peace and the Don Bosse without the support of the United States.

This is a tough thing for the Ukrainians.

And then they presented all these fact witnesses and people, first-hand accounts people actually heard the president's voice

people were carrying out this policy

and the republicans are basically saying uh... there's no crime here

and i think maybe one of the main reasons that I'm just

not interested in carrying the hearings any longer even though they're playing on

cable TV wall-to-wall. Is the behavior of the Republicans frankly is it's just gotten so offensive

Louise called me up about a half hour ago she's she's you know running some errands

right now and and I was getting ready to go on the air and she said you know she had heard Jim Jordan
