GREAT RELATIONSHIP.
WHEN THEY DID THE IMPEACHMENT
HOAX, A DEMOCRAT HOAX, WHICH WE
WON, BUT ONE OF THE REASONS WE
WON IT SO EASILY IS WHEN THE
PRESIDENT WAS ASKED -- IT WAS
OVER A PHONE CALL WITH THE
PRESIDENT AND HE SAID HE COULD
HAVE GRANDSTANDED AND PLAYED
CUTE BUT HE DIDN'T.
HE SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP DID
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG.
HE SAID IT LOUD AND CLEAR AND
THE IMPEACHMENT HOAX DIED RIGHT
THERE.
HE COULD HAVE SAID WELL, I DON'T
KNOW.
AND I NEVER TOLD YOU THIS TO BE
HONEST.
BUT HE WAS LIKE A PIECE OF
STEEL.
HE SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP DID
NOTHING WRONG.

LONG BEFORE JANUARY 20TH, BEFORE
I WOULD TAKE THE PRESIDENCY,
JANUARY 20TH, LONG BEFORE THAT I
THINK THAT WE CAN WORK OUT
SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD FOR BOTH
SIDES.
IT IS TIME.
THE PRESIDENT KNOWS THAT, TOO.
HE WANTS TO GET SOMETHING DONE.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THIS AND
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO -- I LOOK
FORWARD TO BEING WITH HIM.
WHAT I SAID IS TRUE.
HE WAS A PIECE OF STEEL.
HE GAVE A VERY HONEST, STRAIGHT
ANSWER AND IT REALLY ENDED --
ESSENTIALLY ENDED THE
IMPEACHMENT HOAX.
