3:15 pm
the swamp. i hate to use the typical word, true.amp, but it is the way washington has evolved over the years, it wasn't anyone fault, but it cannot be broken down. only these obnoxious people are the ones that can break it down. i am going to vote for him again. it is not trump's fault, it is people like me. host: let's hear from a democrat. michigan.etroit, you are next. caller: good morning, pedro. good morning, america. greetings from motown. listening to the president last night when he takes swings first that joe biden and then barack shows the lack of maturity he has and the blind hatred of those two from that
3:16 pm
predominantly white and undoubtably racist audience. there is no doubt about that. when i listen to him slam barack obama accusing joe biden of knowng barack obama's you what. from the moment he first laid eyes on barack obama, the green eyed monster has been eating away at donald trump. he is extremely jealous of barack obama. host: because? caller: excuse me, go ahead. host: because why? caller: i think he is upset barack obama is probably still more admired and then he is and i think it speaks volume about hatred inof rachel his predominantly white audiences -- racial hatred in his predominantly white audiences and those calling on c-span. they want desperately, desperately to not only erase
3:17 pm
barack obama's record, but basically erase him from the very pages of history. host: that is jerry calling on the line for democrats. back to john mcardle. host 2: want to keep viewers up-to-date on what is happening on capitol hill. theress away on recess, but impeachment inquiry continuing including today. we are expected to see another hearing behind closed doors, this one in the house intelligence committee. this is jeff bennett reporting marie yovanovitch is set to be deposed at 10:00 a.m. eastern. sources familiar say they expect her to show up despite a white house vow not to cooperate with the inquiry. she would have to quit the state department before appearing. fox news in their story previewing disappearance today
3:18 pm
or perhaps not if she doesn't show looks into how the trump administration has viewed the ambassador. trump and his surrogates have painted yovanovitch as a rogue employee with an anti-trump political bias. her ouster came amid alleged attempts by rudy giuliani to press ukraine into investigating joe biden and his son. those efforts triggering the impeachment inquiry. the story goes on to note the news yesterday on the ukrainian front and the former ambassador's involvement. federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment alleging two donors to a pro trump fundraising committee were engaged in lobbying efforts on behalf of ukrainian politician seeking yovanovitch's ouster. they are u.s. citizens who helped giuliani's efforts to
3:19 pm
pursue the investigation of joe biden and the ukraine. we are watching for that and also other news this morning on this upcoming parts of inquiry and more interviews taking place. this from axios. -- gordononlon sondland expected to testify yesterday despite being blocked by the state department yesterday appearing in a closed-door deposition. one more just to keep you updated on the latest from the wall street journal this morning. lawyers for the cia officer whose whistleblower complaint helped ignite the impeachment couldy -- their client submit testimony instead of appearing in person. the request reflects concerns about whether the whistleblower
3:20 pm
could testify without revering his that -- revealing his identity. that from the wall street journal. a lot of moving parts. we will keep you updated throughout the morning and the days and weeks and months to come. host: our facebook page is available to you if you want to post about the rally. judy says he has to deflect --self and his supporters joe from new york off our texting service saying the bad thing about the rally is that you actually had people standing and clapping for what went wrong .ith our education system susan saying it is the only mechanism to bring this to the public. we love trump.
3:21 pm
you can text us, 202-748-8003. post on our twitter feed at @cspanwj. kathy in oklahoma, republican line. caller: i am a registered democrat. i no longer support them because the lack of sovereignty they are advocating. something i wanted to clarify from last night's speech about the kurds. they are lovely people, but was redivided by the british. the british occupied the middle rdistand they took ku away. the kurdish people have not been our allies even though they certainly need help and the point trump was making was that wey were not helping us, were helping them defend their area they lived in.
3:22 pm
the kurdish people need to be reassigned homeland. thebritish subdivided countries and took their homeland away. i think it was after world war i . we need to learn our history so we will clearly understand what he meant. host: i want to show you what the president said from last night. it turkey and syria coming up during the course of the president's speech. [video clip] andn the case of turkey syria and the kurds, we could send in 1000 troops for a military conflict with turkey. harduld hit turkey very financially. we could mediate a deal between turkey and the kurds. i like that. let's mediate a deal. they have been fighting each other for hundreds of years and we were artificially put there in this case by president obama.
3:23 pm
we did our job, and i will tell you another thing, we have to be treated fairly. we have to be treated fairly. we are not treated fairly by other nations. we captured many, many isis fighters. i called them myself in many cases. take the fighters, we don't want them. i said they did you a favor, they are citizens of germany, france, these various countries in europe. take your fighters. i said how unfair are you treated? we are doing things that are pretty amazing in every once in a while you have to change course. the united states has spent $8
3:24 pm
.rillion in the middle east these wars produce chaos and bloodshed. all the sacrifice made the middle east -- it is less safe, less secure.and the single greatest mistake our country made in its history was going into the quicksand of the middle east. he spent $8 trillion and lost thousands of lives -- we spent $8 trillion in lost thousands of lives. the other side, we can talk about that, lost millions of lives. what did we do? we are pulling people out and trying to make good deals and we are going to bring our soldiers
3:25 pm
.ack home host: did the president speak about leaving kurds to die? patty saying it was the funniest and best president in years, talk about telling it like it is. as for the paid protesters, it did not seem to stop crowds showing up. if hunter biden is share game, ao -- fair game, so is ivank and jared. doesn't joe biden criticizing trump at much smaller rallies -- one would think they were both running for president. facebook available at facebook.com/cspan. you can post on our twitter feed at @cspanwj. stephanie in brooklyn, new york, democrats line. caller: good morning. how are you, c-span?

3:28 pm
thing, he is a comedian. you cannot really take him serious. it is dangerous because he is the president and has a lot of power. fact heike to hear the is politically correct. the second thing i want to say -- host: he directly mentioned joe biden. caller: he did -- he called his -- but he did not call directly joe biden anything. unable -- everybody can see that. the other thing is trump is a
3:29 pm
christian and he claims he believes in jesus christ and the resurrection power of jesus. they tried to kill jesus, but he was too pure and holy. host: how that relates to the rally yesterday? caller: this is the whole thing everybody is trying to get at and what you are trying to figure out and what people are trying to figure out how can he get away with this -- how can he get away with saying these lies and being so incompetent and saying these lies and owing all these taxes? host: darlene in tennessee, independent line. caller: i watch this morning he is you came on and just a motivational antagonistic person. this must be a campaign to get reelected. i did not hear anything he was represees veragef the usd preedis fopolitical or commerciurse eress ohibit by e hou of
