>> well, we'll see. you know, the effort to get the supreme court to rule quickly on trump's immunity claim seems clearly to be an effort to speed up or at least to make sure that the trial timetable doesn't move. and this would seem palpably to be an effort to get him convicted of something before the election. if he were elected anyway. it wouldn't matter because he could pardon himself after the fact. but, you know, you look at these cases, and trump does have a point in this sense, which is that he is being prosecuted by people who are answerable to the incumbent president are and his opponent. and that has left a bad taste in a lot of people's minds. i think it counts powerfully for the fact that trump seems to have been undamaged, at least if the polling is any indication by the allegations against him which, you know, in some cases are quite serious and quite a lot of them. they look at this and they say the jack smith indictment, jack smith works for joe biden. so i think that actually ends up helping trump. >> bret: we will follow it all. brit, as always, thank you. >> you bet. >> bret: up next the latest word on how long the israel-hamas war may last from tel aviv's top military official. we will bring you there. first, here is what some of our fox affiliates around this country are covering tonight. fox 29 in philadelphia as two police officers are injured during a shootout with a suspect. 40-year-old man accused of ramming his vehicle into a police car was seriously injured in the exchange of gunfire. fox 9 in the twin cities as a judge vacates the first degree murder conviction for a man who spent nearly two decades in prison for the death of a flower shop owner in 2004. the judge ruled the police lineup procedures violated marvin haines' due process rights. his family has always insisted haines was sleeping at home when that murder occurred. and this is a live look at los angeles from fox 11. our affiliate there. one of the big story there tonight, barbie tops the golden be globes award nominations. the block buggser received nine of them including best picture and acting from robin and ryan gosling. oppenheimer was next with 8 nominations. so that's tonight's live look outside outside the beltway from "special report." we'll be right back. ♪ everywhere ♪ imagination ♪ that's your creation ♪ come on barbie ♪ let's go party ♪ i'm a barbie girl in the a barbiell world it is the day we celebrate the incredible truth that god so loved the world that he gave his only son. it's not about presents. it's about jesus. join me this advent in praying every day on hallow. cut through the noise and find god's peace. the best advice i ever got was to invest with vanguard for my retirement. the second best?

it is should he be president? i don't think he should be president. >> five weeks to the iowa caucuses and we have a new des moines register poll. they are well respected in iowa and it shows the former president with a big, big lead currently in iowa over governor ron desantis and there you see nikki haley. the other question is here is the view among trump legal challenges. among iowa voters. 73% of republican caucus goers think the former president can beat president biden regardless of his legal challenges. this comes as the special counsel appealed to the supreme court to fast track a possible appeal there. and the supreme court saying we are going to hear whether we are going to fast track that. and whether they are going to take the case. that came in right before the show tonight. let's bring in our panel. fox news senior political analyst juan williams. franco or don't i can't say. correspondent for "national public radio" and mollie hemingway editor and chief at "the federalist." first of all, mollie, the polls are overwhelming. snapshots in time. not actual votes. we have never seen never seen like. this challenge for the anti-trump forces in that both of the top two candidates seeming to be competing for third place in the caucuses and primaries. it's been a pretty stable situation for trump in that he has always had the lead. the way that it's not stable is that his lead is increasing. and so his -- these polls show that his voters were very enthusiastic. they were very loyal. it's very likely he will be the nominee knee. the interesting thing is whether biden will be the nominee. the larger race is looking more and more not like 2016 when trump won but almost like 1980 when people were suffering so much economically where they were not having -- they didn't have enough money and the foreign situation was bad in 1908 with jimmy carter. this is a very interesting race. >> bret: franco, welcome, by the way. >> thank you. >> bret: special counsel jack smith asked the supreme court to rule on whether former president donald trump can be prosecuted on charges relating to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. he is filing. seeks to go arend a the appeals court that had initially been expected to handle the case. now the supreme court has weighed in and said they are going to consider that. that's a big deal for the court. because usually they are very respectful of the appellate process. this is probably going to be fast-tracked if you had to guess. >> it's a very significant deal. jack smith really wants to keep this on track in a certain timeline. the trump campaign pushing back. they are asking why do you need to rush this? we are going to see more and it's going to continue to play out. but i mean this battle over the courts is just getting more chaotic and more chaotic. >> i think it will be very interesting to see what happens next unwritten thing trial done before the election. if the appellate process went out, went forward, former president trump could win and this would be all erased. >> pardon himself potentially. jack smith pushed this to the supreme court. he wants the supreme court to rule here. and, obviously, thinks that he will win with the supreme court. and, of course, even if he doesn't win, well then why go through the appellate process. why go through the trial because then, nothing can be charged to a man who says that he is immune from those charges given that he was president of the united states. so, let's get it on and what jack smith is saying let's ring the bell. let's just do this now. >> just because jack smith wants things done quickly doesn't mean the supreme court wants things done quickly he keeps asserting need to get it done quickly. obvious he wants a quick and easy conviction. that's the point of trying to put political opponents in prison. the supreme court doesn't share that viewpoint. they are probably less inclined to get involved. >> bret: to your point here is jonathan turley on that very question. >> he decided that he wanted to leapfrog over the court of appeals and go directly to the supreme court. the only reason for that is that he is really focused entirely on trying trump during this campaign and trying to convict him before the election. the question about the supreme court is going to feel that that is such an you are jeanette priority you bring this case before super tuesday. >> bret: asked for the trump campaign lawyers by next wednesday. i want to turn to hillary clinton. washington examiner. she has emerged as key champion of biden's 2024 campaign recent fundraiser in washington. hosted by clinton and whitehaven estate at her whitehaven estate. the former secretary of state women's leadership forum reportedly pulled in $1 million for biden's re-election. however, a fundraising prowess isn't the only support to biden's election. clinton is stepping up as one of biden's higher profile surrogates. franco, obviously, she doesn't have a super frac record in these national elections but it seems like the biden folks are leaning on the former secretary of state. >> apparently. so that seems to be the reporting. only going to give more enthusiasm to many of biden's detractors. this hillary clinton for trump is kind of in some ways it's red meat. it's a way to, you know, to attack biden and that's what he does so often. i mean, there is a reason that trump used to talk about crooked hillary and switching the name to crooked joe biden very beneficial for the trump chain i'm curious how the imind campaign responds. >> maybe on the abortion issue she makes that case like kamala harris makes it and that's really the issue the democrats feel like is their sweet spot. >> absolutely not only that you look right now and the polls do not look good for biden at this moment. a lot of that has to do with the democratic base. young people, people under 40 and young women lot of opposition on israel. the democratic base that's weak. and hillary clinton is good there. >> bret: really quickly, it doesn't look like all of this funding, the supplemental is going to get done. >> it looks like they thought if they claimed to pretend to care about border security that they might be able to get more funding for ukraine, that doesn't seem to be going over as well. >> bret: again we will talk to president zelenskyy tomorrow here on "special report." we will see. up next, new memorial to america's war dead in europe. we'll bring you there. ♪ ike this learning center...
