Of his party, and democrat Sean Patrick Maloney. Then, former new york city mayor and billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg weighs a late entry into the democratic race for president. Hes not going to do well but i think hes going to hurt by it naturally. Little michael will fail. Chris we will ask our sunday panel how bloombergs possible move could reshape the democratic campaign. And our power player of the week, the iconic horsedrawn caisson performing a solemn duty honoring our nations veterans. All right now on Fox News Sunday. Chris and hello again from fox news in washington. The House Democratic effort to impeach President Trump moves into a key new phase this week, public hearings, in which career Government Officials will testify on camera about how President Trump pressured ukraine to investigate his political rivals. The big question will this change the dynamic of the inquiry that so far has remained strictly partisans . In a moment we will speak with two members of the House Intelligence Committee that will hold the madefortv hearings. Republican will hurd and democrat Sean Patrick Maloney. First lets bring in ellison barber, who has the latest from the white house. Ellison. One of the first witnesses we expect to hear from this week is a career diplomat who testified behind closed doors. It was his understanding that everything, military aid and an oval office visit, was contention contention on ukraine investigating the bidens in 2016. The 45th president cheered at the game of the century hours before the start of the week that could turn his political future upside down. Three public hearings are set to take place on two different dates. On wednesday, the House Intelligence Committee will hear from a top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine and a Top State Department official. On friday, the former ambassador to ukraine. If House Democrats released their close door testimony this week. Taylor argued with the most explosive. If the diplomat testified it was his clear understanding Security Assistance money would not come until the president of ukraine committed to pursue the investigation for less President Trump wanted. President trump continues to call the inquiry the witch hunt continues but claims his party is on the same page. The republicans never been so united. Congressional republicans want to hear from at least 14 witnesses, including former Vice President joe bidens son hunter and the whistleblower was complaint help initiate the impeachment inquiry. Chairman adam schiff responded with a warning, the committee will not serve as vehicles to carry out sham investigations into the bidens or debunked conspiracies about 2016. Rules approved by the house essentially give democrats veto power here. It witnesses must be approved by the chairman of the Intelligence Committee or the full committee. Chris. Chris ellison barber reporting from the white house. Allison, thank you. Joining me now, congressman will hurd, a republican member of the house until committee that will conduct those public hearings this week. Congressman, the Top Republican on house intel, devin nunes, says that he would like to call the whistleblower, the unnamed whistleblower to testify in public in these hearings and heres what President Trump has to say about the whistleblower. The whistleblower is a disgrace to our country, a disgrace, and the whistleblower, because of that, should be revealed. If chris now, the whistleblower report of the works for the cia, where you work for almost a decade. Should his identity be revealed . Should be he called to testify in public . Representative hurd i think we should be protecting the identity of the whistleblower. Ive said that from the very beginning because how we treat this whistleblower will impact whistleblowers in the future. Having this whistleblower law on the books is important. Its an important checks and balance are not only the Intelligence Committee, but what her government. What i do would like to see happen is for adam schiff, chairman schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee to answer questions about what was his engagement with the whistleblower before the information the whistleblowers allegations were transmitted to congress. He has misled the American Public earlier in the year on what he knew about or the contact that he had with the whistleblower, so if you want to protect the identity of the whistleblower i think its important for chairman schiff to answer questions about his interactions with them. Chris what to think about as the republicans are seeking, calling hunter biden, the former Vice President s son, as a witness . Representative hurd i would love to hear from hunter biden, i would love to hear from other americans that served on the board of burisma. Im curious to know of someone who doesnt have any experience in ukraine nor experience International Natural gas Company Comes on board in ukraine. We also need to hear and understand the corruption. We know corruption in the ukraine is an issue. Ambassador taylor has said that in his testimony. Dr. Hill has said that in her testimony. This is something that was a concern even in this current new administration in ukraine, so hearing from people that can help provide insight into that, since that is central to this conversation would be valuable. Chris now, congressman schiff responded last night to the g. O. P. Witness list that had been offered by chairman nunes and heres what he said. The Intel Committee will not be used to carry out the same sham investigations into the bidens and 2016 that the president wanted ukraine to conduct. Given that response, congressman hurd, what does that say about the fairness of a process the democrats are running and holding these hearings . Representative hurd unfortunately, chris, this has been a partisan exercise from the very beginning. One piece of information that comes, people who dont like the president say this is an example for impeachment. People that support the president say this is a you know, evidence of an exoneration. I think we should just turn over every rock and pursue every lead to ultimately get to the truth and its unfortunate that the democrats on the committee and the democrats in the house have created this partisan exercise. In a normal hearing, the minority, the folks that are not in power, have the ability to offer a witness. We cant do that in this case. If under previous impeachment inquiries, the minority and the president has had the opportunity to call witnesses, be involved. The majority of the House Department select committee on intelligence and chairman schiff has prevented some of the lawyers for the administration to come in and be there with the folks that were testifying. Thats not a fair process. If we are interested in trying to uncover the truth, then lets not put our thumb on the scale, but unfortunately thats what this process has been and whats even crazier is there trying to have this completed by the end of the year and i think well have 16 or 17 legislative days left in the year. Half of those days are whats called fly the end, out days. People are coming in from their location. So to try to get that, try to pass nafta, to fund the government, trying to do all that in that short period of time, i think thats next to impossible. Chris your chuckle at the extreme partisanship may be on both sides, republicans and democrats. You are not while you are supportive of the president , you are not a party line supportive. You oppose some of his policies, it for instance, constructing the border wall. Youve opposed and spoken out against some of his language during his time in office. For you, what specifically do you want to learn from these hearings [boos] representative hurd so i think talk about impeachment has been premature. I think impeachment is one of the most important and consequential things a member of congress can do at i think theres 535 different opinions on what impeachment is. To evaluate that question i think its a violation of the law and so i want to see does this establish a criminal intent and yes, for me, i agree when i agree, i agree when i disagree. And i was the guy in the back alleys collecting intelligence. I also did this to embassies. I know how and embassies work and the fact that ukrainian officials werent contacting their u. S. Counterparts until august 29th, when they read in i believe it was a political article about aid being withheld. That was the first time that any ukrainian had contacted a state department or Government Official about this. That was more than a month after the july 25th phone call between the president and president zelensky. What do i want to see . To chris go ahead sir. Representative hurd what i want to see is their inability to establish criminal intent, do the ukrainians know that this was some kind of quid pro quo. When you look at our relationship between the u. S. And ukraine over the last three years, theres been no more aid going to ukraine this administration than the previous administration. Ukraine is an important partner. Chris let me ask you specifically though about this because there seem to be two issues one that are part of the quid pro quo. One was military aid, one was the meeting that ukraine very much wanted between their president zelensky and President Trump. If all three of the witnesses that are going to testify this week you see them up there, william taylor, george kent, marie yovanovitch, say there was a clear connection between support for ukraine, various forms of the u. S. Support for ukraine and ukraine investigating the democrats. If you are satisfied that that is true, that there was this connection, this nexus, is that an Impeachable Offense . Representative hurd i dont know if it was necessarily investigate the democrats. I think it was investigation of corruption chris forgive me, sir, but specifically what President Trump said on that fifth phone call was investigate the democratic role in the 2016 election, whether they were involved in hacking the dnc server and also specifically the bidens and burisma. Representative hurd welcome on the 2016 elections, some of that information was based on what has been kind of fringe thinking, but back when even democrats start investigating, there was a ukraine nexus, so trying to get to the bottom of that, is that a violation of the law . Was that an understanding based on debunk information . It yes. But is it a violation of the law . I dont think so. Chris but specifically, sir, the question is if there was a quid pro quo, u. S. Aid for ukraine was going to depend on their doing is investigations of political rivals of the president. Is that an Impeachable Offense . Representative hurd i think if youre trying to get information on a political rival to use in a Political Campaign is not something a president or any official should be doing. I think everybody has most republicans have said that would be a violation of the law. Chris so that, in your view, if that were established to your satisfaction, f, i repeat, that would be an Impeachable Offense . Representative hurd i believe that is something that would make it have to truly consider whether impeachment is the right tool or not. Chris we will see what happens this weekend whether or not it persuades you. Congressman hurd, thank you so much, thanks for your time, good to talk with you, sir. Representative hurd thank you, chris. Chris up next we will get reaction from a democrat on the Intelligence Committee about what some say is his partys timetable to impeach the president before the end of the year. fozzie ma mom oh honeybear fozzie hey, im trying some new material.

Com sfx [ mnemonic ] chris House Republicans have complained for weeks about democrats interviewing key witnesses in the impeachment probe behind closed doors. Now the public hearings are about to start. If the g. O. P. Is still complaining. Lets bring in congressman Sean Patrick Maloney of new york, a democrat on the Intelligence Committee. Congressman, as i discussed with congressman hurd, republicans have now put out there written list of witnesses. It includes hunter biden, the unnamed whistleblower, and nellie ohr, who folks may remember she worked for fusion gps, which sought information from sources and ukraine and put out the steele dossier. Will democrats agree to call any of these witnesses . And if you dont, what does that say about the fairness of this entire proceeding . Congressman maloney well, i cant speak for the chairman, but what i can tell you is that i think we will end up calling some of the witnesses on that list and heres my test. My test is, do these witnesses have Important Information, knowledge, or evidence about the president s conduct . And if it passes that test, then we should call them, sure. Chris so specifically, hunter biden, nellie ohr, the unnamed whistleblower. Do any of them pass that test and therefore should be called . Congressman maloney the first two, no. The third one youve just heard congressman hurd give a very eloquent explanation of why we dont force the revelation of a whistleblowers identity, so no in all three cases, but for different reasons. Chris lets focus on hunter biden. Hunter biden is at the center of this. There are allegations of corruption. You know, there certainly are questions why a fellow named hunter biden would get a big job and ukraine when his father was then the Vice President and conducting relations with ukraine. Isnt that a fair person to talk to . Congressman maloney let me ask you, mr. Wallace, what information mr. Biden, hunter biden, a private citizen who was broke no laws by serving on the board of directors, would have about the president s withholding of military aid to ukraine . In other words, he has no knowledge of what the president did or didnt do here, that is the subject of the impeachment inquiry. There are certainly questions, of course, and many people have asked them, but its not relevant to this weeks hearings. Chris i dont have the list right in front of me but you obviously saw it. Youre a member of the committee. Which member of the republican potential witnesses would you agree to call . Congressman maloney there witnesses on the republican list to have been interviewed in depositions already and of course those transcript are going to be released fully and so i would expect the witnesses who have been interviewed, because they have Material Information, would be likely called in public, but again, those are not chris for instance, kurt volker, a special emissary to ukraine . Congressman maloney he testified for the committee, so did mr. Morrison. Those witnesses are on the list. Mr. Hale is similarly a witness who has been interviewed, is on the list. Those of the witnesses i have in mind, but again, this is not my decision. I cant speak for the chairman, but those witnesses do have Material Information about the president s conduct in this case. Thats the proper focus of this inquiry and if i could just say, chris, i hope your viewers will keep an open mind. If this is Veterans Day Weekend, god bless all who serve and where the countrys uniform as my dad did, as my grandfather did. You know, these are also military veterans. Ambassador taylor was an infantry officer with 101st Airborne Division in vietnam, served in combat. West point graduate. Lieutenant colonel benjamin earned a purple heart in iraq. These are veterans and credible witnesses. I hope people will keep an open mind and hear their testimony unfiltered and read the transcript. By all means, they are all coming out in public. Chris lets talk about another apparently nonwitness at that point and that his National Security advisor former National Security advisor john bolton. Here is what his lawyer wrote this week to the committee. Bolton was involved, according to his lawyer, in many relevant meetings and conversations that have not yet been discussed in the testimonies thus far. Continuing the quote, if the house chooses not to pursue through subpoenas the testimony of ambassador bolton, let the record be clear, that is the houses decision. Isnt congressman, isnt john bolton perhaps the best witness other than the president as to what was going on inside the oval office, and why on earth wouldnt you wait to see what he has to say . Congressman maloney we have invited ambassador bolton to appear, and that sounds like a nervous lawyer to me, because they are refusing to honor a legal request to provide relevant testimony. Excuse me chris it wait a minute. Let me just wait a minute. The point is he has gone to a judge and said you tell us i got an order from the white house, in order from congress, you tell me what to do. Congressman maloney mr. Wallace, thats not how it works. You show up and you respond to a subpoena or you go to a judge and get it quashed, or you show up and you invoke a legitimate privilege and refused to answer a particular question. It is unprecedented to say you, congress, go to a judge and tell me to appear. Thats not how it works in the massacre bolton is a better lawyer than that. He knows that personally. Chris that isnt what theyre doing, they are not saying congress, go to the judge. They are going to the judge. Thats what they did with another one of the clients who was an assistant to a deputy to bolton and bolton they are going to the judge and they are saying, judge, weve got these competing claims, you tell us what to do. They are not asking the house to do anything. Congressman maloney mr. Wallace, i agree with you that he has Important Information and we would love to hear from ambassador bolton. I think the public deserves to hear from ambassador bolton, who remember call this a drug deal and wanted nothing to do with it. Who instructed his subordinates to report this conversations to the lawyers at the white house because he knew they were improper. Ambassador bolton does have Important Information. I dont understand why the white house has instructed him not to cooperate. You should ask them. Chris i guess what im saying is this is an impeachment, this isnt just oversight. This is the potential impeachment of the president of the United States. There is going to be a Court Hearing in early december, charles cooperman, the deputy to bolton and bolton now would be part of that suit, why not wait we are talking about a month, exactly a month, to find out what a judge says . Why wouldnt, when youre talking about the impeachment of the president , why wouldnt the House Intelligence Committee be willing to wait to find out such key evidence . Congressman maloney again, we would love to have mr. Boltons evidence. Theres nothing preventing him from giving it, but remember and by the way, any notion that thats going to be favorable to the president i think is defunct by everything in the Public Domain already. Ambassador bolton called this a drug deal. Im not sure the president will want to hear from ambassador bolton, but we sure do, but heres the point, the point is do we have sufficient evidence from credible witnesses we are going to present in public testimony to move forward with an inquiry which may result in a referral to the senate, where there will be a trial, where witnesses like ambassador bolton will have an opportunity again to to to provide the information they know. I encourage them to do it now, i encourage them to do it then and i dont think it will be favorable to the president. It is ambassador bolton who saw clearly how abusive and inappropriate the president s conduct was. Chris hes not going to be justified because you guys have a timetable that you want to get this done at the end of the year. Let me ask you a couple questions to finish this up. President trump now says that he is going to release the transcript of a phone call not the july 25th a phone call that weve already seen but an earlier phone call in april just after president zelensky was inaugurated between the two president s. What value does not transcript have for your committee and your investigation . Congressman maloney i dont know of any evidence that would be relevant from the first phone call except that it was a routine phone call to congratulate the president. If the president wants to release it, thats fine. I dont think its relevant to this investigation. Chris lets turn to the public hearings this week. Youve got three witnesses testifying, weve already seen the transcripts of their interviews. People know what theyre going to say. If the argument that youre basically people are going to read the book but theyre going to read stomach see the movie . That didnt work out very well in the Robert Mueller testimony. Congressman maloney mr. Wallace, the point is that the republicans have been demanding for weeks that the public be able to see this testimony, so they should take yes for an answer. I think its very important to the public be able to judge for itself, and i really encourage your viewers to just watch the hearings. Read the transcripts or watch it live and make up your own minds. You wont have any filter, you wont have the pressure politicians in the way, youll have witnesses giving Opening Statements, and these are military veterans. These are career nonpartisan civil servants. The first witness, ambassador taylor, an appointee of a republican president who serve this country in the military. Chris youve already made that point and im running out of time, id like to get one last question in if i might. Heres what President Trump says about all those witnesses, take a look. Speak of the testimony has all been fine. For the most part i never even heard of these people, i have no idea who they are. It seems that nobody has any firsthand knowledge, there is no firsthand knowledge. Chris the president does have a point. None of these officials actually talked to the president. When we think back to john dean with richard nixon, he took us into the oval office. He told what he told the president and what the president told him. As the president says, all of the information we are going to hear this week is secondhand. Is that enough to impeach a president . Congressman maloney mr. Wallace, if youre talking about this week but of course there witnesses like ambassador sondland, who spoke directly to the president. There are other witnesses who have refused to cooperate. By the way, the state department has refused to produce all the notes and corroborating evidence, but there are absolutely direct witnesses to the president s phone call. Lieutenant colonel vindman was on the call and went immediately to the Embassy Legal department because he knew it was wrong, what he heard. Thats a military veteran. There are a lot of people with direct knowledge and honestly, if i can say, it is heartbreaking to the president , any american president , deride an important process where reliable witnesses are giving information. Its also heartbreaking to realize once you see this evidence that any american president would engage in misconduct. It gives me no pleasure to tell you the american president has abused his office and he should be accountable. Chris as you say, people are going to get to see for themselves this week. Congressman maloney, thank you, thanks for joining us and of course fox news will cover the hearings this week live. Congressman maloney thank you. Chris up next, we will bring in our center group to discuss whether anything will change out of the public will hear from these witnesses themselves. E . We see patterns. Relationships. When you use location technology, you can see where things happen, before they happen. With esri location technology, you can see what others cant. Chris coming up, Democratic Front runner joe biden reacts to Michael Bloomberg looking at a run for the white house. In terms of hes running the last bowls i looked at im pretty far ahead. Chris we will ask her sunday panel how a Bloomberg Campaign would shake up the democratic kerrygold has a taste so rich it can take you to irelands lush, green pastures. Where grassfed cows produce rich, creamy milk for a truly delicious taste. Kerrygold. The taste that takes you there. Those open hearings will be an opportunity for the American People to evaluate the witnesses for themselves, but also to learn firsthand about the facts of the president s misconduct. As we are more testimony, in fact the testimony that we are hearing today, its actually getting easier to defend the president. Chris house intelligence chair Committee Adam Schiff and mark meadows setting very different expectations for this weeks public impeachment hearings and its time now for our center group. G. O. P. Strategist karl rove. Mo elleithee of georgetown universitys institute of politics and public service. Former democratic congressman Donna Edwards and senator Mitch Mcconnells former chief of staff, josh holmes. Congresswoman edwards, let me start with you. What do you expect these public hearings to accomplish . We know what these witnesses are going to say. Their Opening Statements were leaked, the full hours long transcripts have been put out there for anybody whos interested to read. Theyve been widely covered. It doesnt seem to have moved anybody. I mean, democrats are foursquare in favor of impeachment and it doesnt seem to have been a single vote thats been swayed so far at least by House Republicans in favor of impeachment, so whats the point . I mean, now its time for the American People to see the evidence. Lets admit it, even ive read some of the transcripts but havent read all of them and i think for the American People to be able to see these witnesses, to know their backgrounds and that they are Public Servants and that they have a sense of duty coming before the committee, and i think that that will be really compelling and maybe its not about swaying individual members of congress right now, but its about making sure that the American People put it out there because congress are followers, right . They follow the public and i think that its really important for the American People to hear the lawlessness and the unconstitutional behavior the president of the United States. Chris karl, lets talk about what we are going to hear in terms of the testimony this week. You worked in a white house, we are going to hear from three Career Foreign Service officers. One of the william taylor, a military veteran, served president s since 1985. Ronald reagan. Theyre going to talk about an off the books foreign policy. If theyre going to talk about an ambassador, marie yovanovitch, who was smeared and recalled because of comments that were being made, a campaign being run by Rudy Giuliani, allegedly. Theyre going to hear about a link between u. S. Support for ukraine and ukraine conducting investigations of the president has political rivals. Obviously theres another side to the story, but that story, does it bother you . A somebody who served in the white house it does bother me, yes, but on the other hand, there is constant friction between the state department and an administration. We saw this during the iraq war where we had the people in the state department leaking against the administrations policy. Thats going to be the sideshow. The thing thats going to happen when we have this testimony is republicans are going to be able to ask questions. Think about where weve been. We have selective leaks of what these people said, which is done to spin it as much as possible against the president. We have their entire transcripts, which most people dont read. Now we are going to have televised hearings in which theyre going to be able to say their piece and its going to have an impact, but there also going to be questioned and the questioning is going to get to we have a quid. Military assistance for ukraine. And we have a quo, investigative items, but so far we dont have the pro, that is to say that what we know today is that the ukrainians were never aware of a delay in their aid until they were given the eight and told that it had been delayed and we never had that grant of the aid predicated upon them making a commitment to investigate joe biden. And the democrats schiff Statement Last night was very problematic because the American People are going to want to hear about joe biden and hunter biden and devon archer and the stinky situation involving burisma and if the democrats say we are not going to allow you to have those people called, its going to simply add to the impression that this is a partisan witch hunt. Chris mo . Ambassador sondland did revise his testimony to say he did inform the ukrainians that the aid would likely be contingent on this, so thats about where we are on that point. Look, ultimately i agree with the congresswoman that now the American People get to see this stuff and if you think about this politically and what actually based on the very few precedents we have in american history, looking back on richard nixon. Republicans were with him. Republican voters were with him up until the very end. The day he left, pulling show that about 30 of republicans thought he should be removed from office. But that 30 was a significant number because thats what put a lot of pressure on the republican members of the senate, when goldwater finally broke with the president when trump said when he said mr. President ive been your guy, but its become unsustainable for us. Right now you dont see that kind of breaking from Republican Voters. So the question becomes do these hearings, as the congresswoman was saying, begin to mobilize and catalyze Republican Voters . We know its doing it for democrats and we know its doing it for independent voters. Chris heres the question i have and let me bring in josh on this, because i understand that, you know, we pay much more attention to the leaks, we pay much more attention to the transcripts than most people do, but they are out there and they have been widely reported. Theyve been the lead on the evening news, the front page of the papers, and so far, josh, it hasnt moved a single republik and vote. Nor has it moved the republican primary electric. What it ultimately did for nixon, his party basically beginning to turn on him. If you look at the American People, particular the republican primary electorate, not only moving away from him, its heartening. This being a quote unquote witch hunt. We are a long way away from republicans moving away from President Trump and embracing an impeachment inquiry. My guess is an open hearing in the house will only serve to exacerbate that. I dont think theres any chance that this is going to come off looking like a fair hearing or something that the president has had basically his say in. Chris i mean, that is the concern, that it hasnt moved the needle, and weve gotten a lot of information so far. I understand i dont know if i understand because everybody kept saying they wont read the book, theyll watch the movie and the mueller hearing turned out to be a disaster for democrats, i think we would agree. So lets assume that this is more effective than Robert Mueller as a witness. Does it really move the needle . Because it hasnt so far, congresswoman. This is actually very different kinds of behavior even than what we saw in the mueller report. We have a president of the United States who withheld aid from an ally who was on the front lines against our chief adversary and i think when the American People here that it wasnt this isnt about 2016, this is about what is happening right now in 2020 prospectively for the 2020 election and i think that these witnesses are going to make all the difference. I mean, when you look at a lieutenant colonel, vindman for example, he will be there and you will be in his dress blues and fully decorated, raising his hand saying that he is telling the truth. I defy republicans to challenge on that. They are not challenging on the substance, they are challenging on process, and that is a loser argument. Chris you get the final word. Process matters, fairness matters, thats why nixon went down, because the process was fair. This is not fair. They will not allow any of the rights granted to president clinton during his impeachment or any of the rights granted to president nixon during his impeachment and i love the fact i love the fact that the democrats are now decrying the president s decision not to move aid lethal aid rapidly to ukraine. After all, the previous administration, a democratic at administration, did nothing to send lethal aid to ukraine and the nonlethal aid they refused to fly into ukraine on c130s because they didnt want u. S. Military presence in ukraine so they drop them off in poland and citizens had to take that nonlethal aid and put it in the back of their little vehicles and trucks and convey it to ukraine. This president at least had the guts to give the ukrainians the lethal aid needed to stave off the russian attempts to subvert that country. Chris i think this is probably going to end up being a game changer and it will be a bipartisan game changer varied panel, we have to take a break here. When we come back, former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg looks ready to make a late entry into the 2020 democratic race. Can he win the nomination . Plus, what would you like to ask the panel about the impact of a bloomberg candidacy . Just go to facebook or twitter, foxnewssunday, and we may use your question on the air. Years ago i got laid off. I did not know what i was going to do. And then a light bulb went off. I had a sewing machine that was still in the box. I pulled up youtube. I kept watching videos over and over, i finally got to the point where i could make a stitch. And thats how knotzland was born. We make handmade bowties out of repurposed fabrics. Because of youtube im an entrepreneur. Its been a crazy journey. Because of youtube im an entrepreneur. Thisdoin more. Bout. With less. Doers need energy. And demand for it is expected to grow. So chevrons finding more homegrown energy, more precisely. Digitizing the way we work with advanced Data Analytics helping us develop more productive wells. And were exploring ways to use Renewable Energy in our operations. Doin more. With less. More data and precision. To help meet growing demand. Thats going to get a lot of likes. Chevron. Innovating to meet the energy demands of today and tomorrow. I see it every day. The Mental Health safety net is in crisis. People undiagnosed, untreated, and nowhere to turn for help. Many end up here. Our patients are in jails, prisons, psychiatric hospitals and treatment centers. I work for wellpath. Along with over 8,000 professionals, we provide medical and Mental Healthcare services with a Single Mission to be there for those who need us most. Im a new yorker and i know akon when i i see one. There is nobody id rather run against the little like michael. Tonight we say to Michael Bloomberg and other billionaires, sorry, you aint gonna buy this election chris well, former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg getting pretty strong pushback from both President Trump and democratic candidate Bernie Sanders on a possible run for the white house, and we are back now with the panel. Mo, let me start with you. Does Michael Bloomberg have a realistic path to the democratic nomination, and what you think of what his strategists say if he does get in, and it seems likely will, his plan, skip the first four, skip iowa, New Hampshire, and basically begin your campaign on super tuesday in early march . Its an uphill climb i would think for mayor bloomberg. And theres no evidence weve never seen anyone who has successfully tried to skip the early states and go on to win the nomination. At least in the modern era. Weve seen candidates who have tried to escape a state, skip iowa and go straight to New Hampshire, skip New Hampshire chris Rudy Giuliani wanted to skip them all go to florida. It doesnt work out so well. I think what bloomberg is hoping here is that he can position himself to be sort of the moderates last line of defense against the Elizabeth Warren Bernie Sanders wing of the party. If biden stumbles and is falling behind chris fourth place in iowa and not leading a New Hampshire either. And that whoever sort of stumbles out of those early states is going to be spent in terms of resources and organizations. In leadership, to his credit, sort of air were states than they are ground game states. Hes got the money to invest heavily in advertising. He can be the guy who consorted with the moderates last line of defense. Im a little skeptical that it works but it is a strategy that if biden stumbles, it looks like hes going to try to put himself in position to execute. Chris we ask you for questions for the panel and on the possibility that Michael Bloomberg will get into this race, we got this on facebook from brad gates. He writes how does bloombergs stance on corporations stand against the current democrat parties push toward socialism . Congressman edwards, how do you answer basically on the question is who just way too far to the right for this Current Democratic Party . I think that i think thats a reasonable question but look, theres no push toward socialism in the Democratic Party but i do think there is an understandable concern about income inequality and Michael Bloomberg candidacy actually puts that front and center in the question of are we going to allow 749 billionaires to control all of the wealth of 60 the bottom 60 of americans and i think thats a legitimate debate for democrats to have. Weve been having that within our party chris how about the argument that billionaires like bill gates, like Michael Bloomberg, create enormous wealth and tremendous job opportunity and thats actually what kind of feeds the bulldog . Absolutely they do and i worked for a corporation early in my career and i think that is important, with the question is how do you pay your fair share to make sure certain that other americans can aspire to their highest dreams too . Creating that wealth but also creating other opportunities for other americans. I think that is a front and center debate of the Democratic Party but i think Michael Bloombergs candidacy puts it right there in the middle and im looking forward to the debate because i think weve been engaged in this conversation for a long time and its going to be important for any democrat who wins in the democratic primary to be able to unite the party and im really not sure that a Michael Bloomberg is a candidate that can come and unite all of the factions of the Democratic Party. Chris all right, lets turn to the elections that were held this last tuesday night which were very interesting, where democrats took control of the Virginia Legislature for the first time in a quartercentury and also it appears, although the republican governor of kentucky still wont concede, it appears that the democrats have won the governors seat in kentucky. President trump talked in kentucky, campaigning for the republican governor of the night before. Heres what he said. Youve got to vote. Because if you lose, it sends a really bad message. If you lose, they are going to say trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world. Chris so carl, how words are the president and republicans be, not so much about those specific results and those specific races, but what you saw and decide in 2018 and saw it again, the suburbs. The suburbs in virginia, the suburbs in kentucky. The suburbs in pennsylvania around philadelphia, this continuing move away from a Republican Party to the democrats . All suburbs are not the same. You mentioned kentucky. In kentucky chris you brought your whiteboard . First time appearance on Fox News Sunday. The republican got 48. 8 of the vote. A fresh firsttime candidate, africanamerican republican candidate for the attorney general who gets 57. 8 of the vote. 75,000 votes ahead of the guy above him on the ballot, runs nine points ahead of him. The rest of the ticket for agriculture commissioner, auditor, secretary of state chris this is kentucky. I understand but the point is that in the suburbs those candidates run 11 to 12 points ahead of the republican candidate for governor and for the first time in the modern era the republicans take all those which says if youve got good candidates who make an appeal, they can carry the republican suburbs. But warning, negative. Southeast pennsylvania. Montgomery box, delaware and chester, republican strongholds. The democrats took Delaware County for the first time. 50 democrat, first time they found a majority on the county council since the civil war and then in virginia weve known about Northern Virginia fading away from the republicans. In this election it was the richmond suburbs, the republicans have got a problem in the suburbs and kentucky says if you run the right kind of campaign pain and have the right kind of democrat. Chris i want to bring josh in. It is the continuing fallout from Elizabeth Warrens continuing plans spending, taxing trillions of dollars and there was blowback this week from two relatively surprising sources, take a look. When you say i should pay a hundred billion, okay, then im starting to do a little math about what i have left over. I dont like vilifying anybody. I think we should applaud successful people. Chris josh, bill gates and jamie dimon, the ceo of jpmorgan, are certainly rich but they are not conservatives by any stretch of the imagination. What does that say to you . Obviously they are two billionaires two rich guys. What does that say to you about their problems that Elizabeth Warren will have with her taxes and policies in a general election . I think the best sign that Elizabeth Warren has a real problem with sort of your center left democratic constituency is the fact that we started this segment talking about Michael Bloomberg. Michael bloomberg said back in february as long as joe biden is in this race and feels like hes got a comfortable hold on the nomination hes not interested in running, but if the Democratic Party looks like its auguring towards nominating somebody whos in that sort of left wing more extreme categories chris we should point out Michael Bloomberg at some billionaire. Absolutely, but heres the point, the point is that this also is a lot more about joe biden then it says about anything else. Joe biden is now in a place where he has lost his hold on the democratic primary electorate in the democratic primary electorate is looking for Elizabeth Warren. With all due respect to bill gates chris Elizabeth Warren . With all due respect to bill gates and the billionaires who have critiques about where the Democratic Party is, the democratic primary electorate is saying loud and clear for anybody who will listen, we like Elizabeth Warren. We like Bernie Sanders. We have had five or six candidates try the center wrote here and we have run them out of town in this primary electorate. Biden and buttigieg are doing about as well combined as warren and sanders are doing combined. The other two are at 18 and 20 in iowa with those are clustered very closely together. Look, in 2018, more center left immigrants won congressional primaries than far left democrats. Its not happening in the 2020 cycle. This has shaken out here. It hasnt shaken out at all.

Chris on this Veterans Day Weekend we want to introduce you to a special military unit Whose Mission is to pay final tribute to the men and women who have defended our freedom. Here is our power player of the week. Its our honor to be able to provide them the best ceremony that they deserve and that their families deserve, just pay it back to them the way they paid it to us. Chris captain Zachary Stillman is talking about the old guard case on platoon that bears the casket for military funerals at Arlington National cemetery. Two teams go out, one with white horses, one with black. Each participating in as many as four funerals a day. But the platoon is determined everyone will be special. That family isnt going to get a second funeral. We have to put as much effort and time into making sure every detail of what we do is the best we can make it. Chris a squad is up at 4 30 each morning to make sure its perfect. The horses are sprayed, the attack is shined. And so is the case on that carried a canon back in the first world war. Then the horses are hitched up. The lead team that takes the caisson through the cemetery. The swing team that gets around tight corners and the wheel team that acts as breaks. Then, they call out the mission. Attention to order zero nine, 12 oh four, colonel, United States air force. Swing ready caisson forward chris why do you have to do all of that . Its not that we have to do any of those things, its really that we get to do those things. We are about to perform a funeral and we are about to perform a mission for that family and we want to make sure that were doing it to the absolute best ability that we have for them. Chris the caisson platoon is part of president ial funerals. A writerly source named black jack was in John Kennedys procession. When he stepped on his handlers toe, the soldier kept marching. In 2004, the military honors were for ronald reagan. The writerly source was named sergeant york that he is still part of the platoon. Sergeant york is the oldest horse that we have here in the barn. Hes actually 29. Chris 29 . Yes, sir. Chris reagan used to say theres nothing as good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse. Yes, sir. Chris he would have loved this one. Captain stillman signed offer the armies of armed branch. When he joined the platoon he had never been on a horse. Now he thinks its as important as any other mission. Chris how long do you want to keep being in the caisson platoon . If i could, sir, id be there for the rest of my life, i absolutely love this job. I get to see soldiers every single day put in a lot of hard work for someone they really dont even know. Im honored to be able to bring them to their final resting place and its just an honor to be a part of that mission. Chris horses in the caisson platoon are put up for adoption after the service is complete and right now elvira, a member of the swing team for 16 years, is available.
