Chris that we will ask secretary of state mike pompeo live only ont reaction from demc senator Chris Van Hollen. Then, Congress Returns from brake to its standoff over impeachment over impeachment. We cant hold a trial without the articles. We are no closer to establishing the rules for a senate trial than when we last met. Chris we will ask our sunday panel where the process stands more than two weeks after the houseboat. And our power player of the week, the true hollywood story of the head of the Motion Picture association. I went from working to kermit and miss piggy to the president of the United States. Chris all right now now on fox news sunday. And hello again from fox news and washington. The Deadly Strike on iranian general Qasem Soleimani marks a major escalation in a standoff between washington and tehran, raising fears of allout war. The u. S. Sending more than 4,000 additional troops to the middle east this week as iran promises to seek revenge. In a moment we will speak live with secretary of state mike pompeo, but first lets get the latest from kevin corke at the president s maralago retreat in kevin. An extraordinary session this sunday, they are considering whether to ask the was to withdraw troops from their country. That consideration comes just a couple days after that american drone strike took out an iranian general on iraqi soil. Sparking fears of a wider regional conflict. Over the weekend, iraqs Prime Minister strongly criticized the u. S. Drone strike that killed iranian general Qasem Soleimani and permanently took part in the massive antiu. S. Protest in baghdad. White house officials said it was soleimani who directed the recent assault on the u. S. Embassy in baghdad and was responsible for killing hundreds of americans worldwide. In iran, a massive funeral procession through several cities to honor the slain general who many consider the second most powerful man in the Islamic Republic. Overnight, President Trump tweeting if iran attacked an american base or any american, we will be sending someone for that brandnew beautiful equipment their way. And threatening to strike 52 iranian sites representing the 52 american hostages taken by iran many years ago. Iranian foreign minister survives every respondent targeting cultural strike to sites as a war crime and irans Telecommunications Minister told trump a terrorist in a suit. After a twoweek vacation here in florida, the president makes his way back home where eanglemd and a possible impeachment trial here in the states. Chris. Chris kevin corke reporting from maralago. Kevin, thank you. Joining us now here in washington, the secretary of state mike pompeo, welcome back to fox and the sun sir. Secretary pompeo great to be with you, thanks for having me on this morning. Chris you know that the Iraqi Parliament is holding an emergency session today to discuss the question as to whether u. S. Troops, the 5,000 trips we have there should remain in the country. It has just come across the wire that the iraqi Prime Minister says it is in the interest of both iraq and the u. S. To end foreign troop presence in iraq and he also says that the killing of general soleimani and also a top militia leader was backed by iran were political assassinations. Your reactions are . Chris, the American People should know that President Trump will never shy away from protecting and defending america. Its what weve done over these past weeks and days, its what weve done over our our entire three years with our middle east strategy. The activity are seeing is fully consistent with that. The American People should know we will continue the president waited again last night, we will take the actions necessary to keep americans safe. After the activity of the day with respect to iraq with that in the country, supporting iraqi sovereignty, continuing to take them a terrorist threat against the iraqi people. Prime minister is the resigned Prime Minister, he is the acting Prime Minister. He is under enormous threats from the very iranian leadership that it is that we are pushing back against. We are confident that the iraqi people want the United States to continue to be there to fight the counterterror campaign and we will continue to do all the things we need to do to keep america safe. Chris but if iraq it is a sovereign country. If they demand that we leave, will we leave, and if we do, wont automatically hurt the fight against isis and stability in the region . Secretary pompeo we will have to take a look at what we do when the iraqi leadership in government makes its decision, but the American People should know we will make the right decision. We will take actions that frankly the Previous Administration refused to take to do just that. Chris President Trump says that general soleimani was planning a imminent attack against americans. Youve said it was a big action that could potentially kill hundreds of american diplomats and soldiers. It was the plan . Who were the targets, and how soon . Secretary pompeo President Trump was right and what he said, so was i. We will share all the intelligence that we can. I was the cia director for a little while. Theres things we simply cannot make public about what it is we knew at that time and what in fact we know today about the continuing activity. I think the general got it right when he said we were culpably negligent had we not gone after soleimani only had the opportunity. He was actively engaged in plotting against american interests. We need look no further than what he had personally done over the days before that when an american was killed on december 27th. If theres no surprise, theres plenty of public evidence about the bad behavior of soleimani, he was a designated terrorist and would have the right thing. Chris i just want to press to this degree, he had been targeting americans and other people around the region for decades, the blood of 600 americans was on his hands during the iraq war. The question is that there are some intelligence agents who are talking to Media Outlets who are saying yes, he was doing bad things, but it was another day in the middle east and some congressional leaders who have been briefed now say that the intelligence was not of an imminent attack that was bigger, more worrisome. Dont the American People have the right to some understanding of what it was, why it was so urgent to take out soleimani n now . Secretary pompeo havent heard any of the congressional leaders who have seen the full set of intelligence make the comments that you just described but i think any reasonable person who saw the intelligence that the senior american leaders had in their possession would have come the same conclusion that President Trump and our Leadership Team did about the fact that there would have been more risk to america, more risk through inaction than the action we took. I think its very clear, its very plain we will do everything we can to share this information with the American People but i think the American People understand there are certain things you just cant put out in public. You got to protect americans who are out collecting intelligence. The intelligence we will need in the days and weeks ahead to continue to defend and protect them. Chris irans leaders are bowing a crushing response using words like hard revenge. What do we do if they strike back, if they retaliate . Is there a plan . Because of the fact that we went after soleimani, has there been a change in u. S. Response or where no longer going to go after the enemy in the field, we are now going to go after irans command and control . Secretary pompeo the American People know there is a strategy, its a strategy that has been several years in the making now that weve been working on. Its been a diplomatic strategy, and economic strategy. You are now seeing elements of the military strategy and with respect to targets, President Trump talked about 52 targets that night. Thats not new in the following sense. Weve made clear to the theocrats and pop regrets that are running around today, running into the ground against the will of their own people, we made clear to them that we would not respond just against these proxy forces that they run in yemen and in syria and iraq and lebanon. We made clear that this would be brought home to them, to the leadership regime in iran and that we would raise costs. We wouldnt just attack their asymmetric efforts, we would respond in a way that impose costs on the decisionmakers who are putting american lives at risk. Chris so youre saying to the supreme leader, youre saying to president rouhani, youre saying to leaders of the revolutionary guard, dont think that you are offlimits . Secretary pompeo what im saying is exactly what President Trump has said, we will take responses that are appropriate and commencement with actions that threaten american lives, thats what weve done so far, theres no reason the American People or the Iranian Regime should ever expect we will do anything different. Chris you talk about the strategy. The president has been pushing what he calls the maximum pressure strategy since he took office. He pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal in may of 2018, he imposed tough economic sanctions and this summer he suggested that the strategy was working. Take a look. Iran is a much different country than two an and a half years ago when i took over. Iran was all over. If they had 1418 different sites of confliction. They were all over. And now they just want to oh, they want to negotiate a deal so badly. Chris but in 2019 alone, iran hit ships, shot down a u. S. Drone, launched an attack against Saudi Oil Facilities, a damaging attack and for all the talk of isolating a run, they just conducted joint exercises with china and russia. So the question is, has the president s maximum pressure strategy made iran less aggressive or more . Secretary pompeo panic aggression on the part of the iranian leadership because they know that the iranian people are demanding enormous change. And they know that the iranian people are supported by america in that demand for change. We build out a huge coalition. At gulf states, israel, countries all across the world for joining us. They are joining us not only in the efforts in the straits of hormuz, but in the airefforts. All across the region. The malign actor of iran has been identified. Remember where we came in. 2015 the Obama Biden Administration essentially handed power to the iranian leadership and acted as a quasially of theirs. But underwriting them, underwriting the very militias that killed americans. Those resources, the money they had to build out those forces was provided to them by the nuclear deal. We allowed europeans to go to business there, provided a 150 billion, all of these things of the very challenge that the Trump Administration has had to correct. Strategy is working, we are going to stay the course and we will protect and defend the American People at every step. Chris just you know i asking senator van hollan about that in the next segment. President trump also says that he is keeping his Campaign Promise to pull u. S. Troops out of the middle east. Heres what he had to say in october. The plan is to get out of endless wars, bring our soldiers back home, to not be policing agents all over the world. It was a quick hit except they stayed for almost ten years. Let someone else fight over this long bloodstained sand. Chris but just this week, the u. S. Deployed 100 marines to the u. S. Embassy in baghdad, plus 752 the region and now another 3500. If the president pulling us out of endless wars in the middle east or with his action this week did he take a big step back in . Secretary pompeo endless wars are the direct result of weakness and President Trump will never let that happen. We are going to get it right, were going to get the force posture right, we are going to get our facilities as hardened as we can possibly get them to defend against what iran may potentially do, but make no mistake, Americas Mission is to have our footprint in the middle east reduced while still keeping america safe. Safe from rogue regimes like the Islamic Republic of iran and from terrorist activity broadly throughout the region. Speeones was it fair to say that while the big strategy is to pull the u. S. Out of endless wars, at least in the short term there could be more of a commitment . Secretary pompeo the Obama Administration created an enormous risk to the American People in iran. This administration is working to reduce that risk. Chris finally, some analysts suggest that the impeachment of President Trump has emboldened enemies like iran and north korea to think that they can confront him. Do you think that is misguided as it may be, that some of our enemies think that this president is more vulnerable because of the impeachment effort . Secretary pompeo you should ask mr. Soleimani. Chris i understand that, but he was going ahead before you killed him and the question is do you think that impeachment is emboldening our enemies . Secretary pompeo i dont. I think that our adversaries understand the President Trump and our administration will do the right thing to protect the American People everyplace that we find risk. Chris secretary pompeo, thank you. Thanks for coming in on a very busy weekend. Secretary pompeo thank you. Chris when we come back, democrats raised questions about the wisdom and legality of the president s decision to take out soleimani. We will talk with a top democratic senator, Chris Van Hollen, thats next. Theyre walking into a trap. Your orders are to deliver a message calling off tomorrows attack. If you fail, we will lose sixteen hundred men. Your brother among them. We need to keep moving. I cant see you keep hold of me come on what the hell are you doing Lance Corporal . Trust me beyond the routine checkups. Beyond the notsoroutine cases. Comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. All working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gigspeed network. Because beyond technology. There is human ingenuity. Every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected. To do the extraordinary. Take your business beyond. Chris the senate returned friday to its continuing standoff over how and when to hold the trial after the impeachment of President Trump. Now thats further complicated by the explosive developments with iran. Joining us now here in washington, democrat Chris Van Hollen of maryland, senator, welcome back to fox news sunday. Senator van hollen good to be with you, chris. Chris as soon as the drone strike took out soleimani he went other democrats started criticizing the action of President Trump and his top officials, say that there was an imminent attack and that taking out soleimani prevented it. You just heard secretary pompeo say that again on this program. Dont you believe them . Senator van hollen i think we learned the hard way come across in iraq, in the iraq war that administrations sometimes manipulate and cherry pick intelligence to further their political goals. Thats what got us into the iraq war. There was no wmd. Chris just to interrupt, i understand thats happened in the past, are you saying its happening now . Senator van hollen im saying they have an obligation to pretense the evidence, they did not notify the gang of eight. At one opportuni just two days ago to brief senior staff at the top secret level, no evidence to support their claim of an imminent threat. Look, Everybody Knows that soleimani was a very bad, despicable guy. Theres no debate there. But the claim of an imminent threat they have not supported and what we do know is this dramatic escalation is not putting americans at greater risk. If, in fact, secretary pompeos own state department right after these attacks urged americans to leave iraq, so obviously they thought it was a more dangerous situation there the day after the day before and as youve just reported, we sent 4,000 additional troops to iraq, this from a president claiming he wants to get out of wars and the middle east. If chris but theres no question and you certainly would agree, that soleimani was our enemy. He had been responsible directly or indirectly for the death of hundreds of american soldiers during the iraq war. Theres no question that he was he wasnt taking a vacation as he was traveling around the middle east this last week, was making war plans for terror attacks, spreading irans malign influence. Why not kill him . Senator van hollen well, because you have to look at what the consequences are. We dont go around killing all the very bad people in the world. We have President Trump embracing kim jong un, the leader of north korea, was that a lot of blood on his hands, responsible for the deaths of otto warmbier, an american citizen and yet hes getting love letters from the president of the United States, so the question is do we further our interests by killing soleimani and everything weve seen is weve actually increased of the risks of war dramatically. We put americans at greater threat and we seem to have accomplished soleimani and the iranians goal, which is to undermine our influence in leadership, the president and the Prime Minister, condemning the United States action. About expelling u. S. Forces. What was soleimanis main goal in iraq . It was to get the americans out to undermine our influence. So we seem to have accomplished what soleimani was trying to do but couldnt, so in death hes actually accomplished his goal. That is a that turns back u. S. Interests in the region. Chris you have been tweeting ever since the soleimani takedown. Heres one of them. The constitution makes clear that a president may not go to war without authorization from congress and we have not authorized war with iran. But senator, the white house says this is not war, that soleimani was a terrorist and this was an act of selfdefense, which a commander in chief can always take. If senator van hollen my point, chris, is we are now headed very close to the precipice of war. You just heard the president this morning talk about targeting iranian sites, including cultural sites, which is in fact a war crime that the president was to carry that out. The point where making is that the president is not entitled under the constitution to continue this escalation and without congressional action. Thats what the constitution requires. Look, i heard secretary pompeo talk about this. If you ask them about the maximum pressure strategy. They have not accomplished any of their goals. If they had very unrealistic goals, all they have done under maximum pressure is escalate the chance of war with iran. Something President Trump said he wanted to avoid, but a lot of people around him, like secretary pompeo, have been urging a confrontation with iran for a very long time, including when he was a member of congre congress. Chris here was another one of your tweets in the last couple of days. The administrations reckless policy over the last three years has brought us to the brink, but the president , and you just heard secret no, it was president obama who brought us to the brink. It was the Obama Nuclear deal which funneled billions of dollars back into the regime that they used to spread their brand of terror across the middle east and also it was the Obama Administrations decision to focus exclusively on the Nuclear Program and to ignore all the other malign activity by iran throughout the region. Senator van hollen first of all, they didnt ignore it, but the Obama Administration correctly observed that a Nuclear Armed iran would be even more dangerous then a iran that did not have Nuclear Weapons and so what this administration did was they ripped up that agreement, essentially divided us from our allies, and the result has been this increased actity necessarily. You look at the reports because of the fact that their economic sanctions and iran is economically strapped, that has below is starved for money, hamas is starved for money, isnt that a good sollen look, theres no doubt that the maximum Pressure Campaign is putting pressure on iran, but to what end . Secretary pompeo had a list of like 11 things the Iranian Regime had to do and it was never realistic and thats why theyve got no end game and thats why we are here right now after this latest escalation at much greater risk of going to war with iran, which should be very damaging to the United States, obviously would be damaging to iran but it would be very damaging to the United States. Iran has continued to prosecute its efforts in syria throughout the time of this administration, so the notion that they succeeded in doing anything to stop irans malign influences nonsense. What they have done is dramatically escalate the chance of war. Chris i want to switch, dramatically different subject. How long do you think that Speaker Pelosi should impeachme . Mitch mcconnell, the Senate Majority leader, has made it very clear hes not going to be cowed by her. Hes not going to be pressured by her. The senate is going to run its own trial. At some point doesnt she have to hand over the articles, and for the good of the country, doesnt the senate have to get on with the trial . Senator van hollen well, Speaker Pelosi has made very clear she will send over the articles of impeachment. Chris one . Senator van hollen when she feels its appropriate and i think that will happen, but the issue, chris, is that we have a constitutional duty in the senate to have a trial and it needs to be a fair trial and every american recognizes that a fair trial means you get to call witnesses, you get to have relevant documents. Weve seen in the last few weeks more emails that have surfaced administration trying to cover up key emails showing that the president of the United States confirming, again, that he ordered a hold on getl u. S. Ukrainian military those documents . President trump said himself he wants Mick Mulvaney to testify. He said that months ago. Why shouldnt we have witnesses, that is the question. Chris one more question, less than a minute for you to answer. Do you have any concerns about holding this trial right now with the president and his growing confrontation with iran and potentially an International Crisis . Is that a good thing for the senate to be trying whether or not to remove the president at this particular moment . Senator van hollen we have a constitutional duty when it comes to the issues of war. Congress and the constitution has the power to declare war despite what the president may think, and we have a constitutional duty to try the president in an impeachment trial when the house of representatives sends us the articles of impeachment. I think our system is Strong Enough that we can do both. I very much worry about what the president is doing right now to escalate tensions and the likelihood of war in iran, but our country will have to deal with both these issues at the same time. Chris nks for coming in today. Senator van hollen thank you. Chris up next we will bring in our sunday group to discuss what happens growing confrontation with iran. Plus, what would you like to ask the panel but President Trumps decision to kill general soleimani . Just go to facebook or twitter, foxnewssunday, and we may use your question on the air. Chris coming up, Bernie Sanders tops the democratic field in fundraising and meets another milestone. We have received, in this campaign, 5 Million Campaign contributions. Chris we will ask our sunday panel how the sanders money machine its the ikea winter sale. Akatheupto50 off alreadylowpricessale. Akathelookwecantouchevery thingbeforewebuyitsale.

Chris with the world on edge over possible retaliation after the u. S. Killed irans top military leader, we want to replay part of an interview we conducted with iranian president hossein ronnie back in september he said then its not iran its the main sponsor of terrorism, but the u. S. Today america unfortunately is the supporter of terrorism in our region and wherever america has gone, terrorism has expanded in the wake. It wherever we have gone on the other side, we have defeated terrorism. Chris you have given hundreds of millions, perhaps a billion dollars to hezbollah, to hamas, to various groups. That is not a supporter of terrorism . Well, when you label people who fight for the defense of their country and their lands as terrorism so those are the subjects of occupation, what should they do, be passive and just looand its time now fors,ormer chief of staff to senator Mitch Mcconnell buried mo elleithee of georgetowns institute of politics and public service. A former democratic congresswoman Donna Edwards and former Trump NationalSecurity Council spokesperson michael anton. Michael, does the decision to escalate dramatically and i think we would agree it was a dramatic escalation to take out Qasem Soleimani, does it make the u. S. More safe or less safe, and if iran decides keeps its promise to retaliate dramatically, does the Trump Administration have a strategy . I dont know that i would necessarily agree that this was a dramatic escalation. You could interpret it as a justified kinds of things that iran has been doing without much of a response. The main point i would want to make here is the Iranian Regime since 1979 has a history of getting very aggressive, getting used to not facing pushback, not getting retaliation and when they finally do get pushed back the next ten to back down and go into turtle mode for a little while and that may yet happen again. Weve seen that happen in the past. They havent faced much retaliation for, as you said, spending the enormous windfall they got out of the iran deal all around the middle east, creating proxies, creating little colonies, building out their empire, and they i think got overconfident and to some extent that overconfidence is exemplified by the fact that soleimani went right into iran and the airport iraq and the airport completely confident that he owns the place and that nothing would happen to him. So i think this stuns the regime and is as likely as not to move you make regime treat a little bit and lick its wounds and reassess. Chris we ask you for questions for the panel and on the issue of the president s decision to take out soleimani, we got this on facebook from phil difference between what President Trump did and what former president obama did you answer phil . There are two main differences, and one is that Osama Bin Laden was a nonstate actor and here you have an attack directly in the iranian hierarchy and, look, nobodys out there saying that soleimani was not a bad guy. He was a bad actor, had been for a couple of decades, but the question is whether this was the smartest way in which to conduct an overall Foreign Policy in the region and weather and i believe it has actually made the region and the United States interest a lot more vulnerable. Chris let me just pose this. Iranianbacked militias in iraq launch a number of strikes the week before last i think it was a week ago friday, and kill an American Contractor and hurt a number of american soldiers. We respond with a number of strikes that kill about two dozen of those militiamen. Our embassy no, they didnt kill anybody but it was pretty shocking, what they did to the u. S. Embassy in baghdad. Are we supposed to just let it go . What im saying to you is that i think among the options, the range of options that the president has, the question is do you take one and i believe they did in taking the action in killing soleimani that actually, you know, the downstream puts us in a much more difficult position and i think right now its not really clear to me that just like pulling out of the iran deal, that this administration has mapped out what the end game is. Whats the next part of the strategy . And i think without that than the United States interest and ability of our allies to stand with us in this becomes much more. Chris josh, i want to move to a different aspect of the questions that people are askiny and has reaffirmed that as recently as this fall with the situation in syria, ran on getting the u. S. Out of endless wars in the middle east but as i discussed with secretary pompeo, this week alone he sent more than 4,000 u. S. Troops into the region, so are we getting out or are we getting deeper . I dont think thats inconsistent at all. I think is overarching policy and secretary pompeo articulate and very clearly is to remove america from these endless wars and his conflicts in syria, conflicts in iraq and beyond. But that also cannot override immediate security threats. You need to be responsive to that and i would just say i am totally stunned at the notion that somehow america is the one that is bringing this to a higher escalation level. The president s critics may not have been paying attention to whats happened over the last couple of years, but just because theyre more focused on trying to impeach the president of the United States and the health and wellbeing of american soldiers in iraq doesnt mean that things arent happening. Th killed over 600 american soldiers. Just last week we watched him storm the embassy in baghdad. How america is the aggressor here is beyond me, but what they did this for the first time in a long time and i will argue that the president has been extremely reluctant to engage in this kind of thing, but the first time in a long time tell iran not anymore. Youre not going to be attacking American Assets or american personnel without severe repercussions and i think thats a great thing for this country. Chris well, here is the president describe and explain his action on friday. We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war. Chris what about the argument that as i recited in the interviews with the two previous guests, that there are a number of actions that iran has taken this year going up or ship stomach shooting down a drone, attacking Saudi Oil Facilities just in the last week they killed an American Contractor, badly injured a number of american soldiers and then stormed the u. S. Embassy. What about the argument that President Trump needed to stand up to this iranian aggression and shall resolve . Its interesting, one of the president s rationales for withdrawing from the iran deal was that by doing so and imposing these crippling economic sanctions on the regime it would bring the regime to its knees. In fact the exact opposite has happened. The regime has become more and more emboldened and has done has been escalating its rhetor rhetoric. Look, my concern here is, and as others have saie the ramifications regionally . This was not our first opportunity to go after this guy. Stan mcchrystal, who was no he was fired by president obama. F thes no fan of obama generals and at one point leading our efforts in afghanistan. Talks openly about the time he had an opportunity to take him out but that there were bigger regional concerns. Chris he now says he thinks that the president , President Trump, makes the right decision. We will see, write . If you look at what just happened moments before this panel came on the air where the iraqi Prime Minister, standing before the Iraqi Parliament called this a political assassination and that the states should withdraw all troops from the country. This is there is now a huge mess on the ground in the middle east in the United States is going to have to be ready for that. The government of the president has to be ready for all these unknown pieces. Chris he absolutely does. Ive got about a minute left in this segment and michael i want to leave it with you. Youve posited that maybe they needed a punch in the nose and now theyre going to pull back and they had gotten too aggressive. Theres a flip side of that. What if iraq goes ahead and expels u. S. Troops . What if iran, and that certainly is much of a possibility as your scenario, strikes back. What do we do then . If the iraqis decide they want u. S. Troops to lead one thing i can say with confidence as President Trump will not be on the phone begging them to say please let us stay. He will call their bluff and i think the iraqi leadership knows that the big winners of that will not be iraq necessarily, it will be iran. Chris i understand, but if iran takes over more control of iraq . As you said earlier the president really would like to get as much out of the middle east as possible, but he didnt run as an isolationist. Its important to remember he ran as a kind of a jacksonian. His philosophy on Foreign Policy is very simple, live and let live, but if you hit us, if you mess with us, if you strike us, if you kill our people we will hit ckhes doing is potentiallessentially retaliato. He has no interest in staying in the middle east or rebuilding or transforming it for the control of iraq after all was put into that . It is a sovereign country as you and others have said. If the iraqi elect the government we dont want you there, we dont have a way to say, and the president is not going to beg them to stay. Chris went to take a break because we have more to talk about. When we come back, democrats state of play on trying to remove President Trump. How long can nancy pelosi hang onto the articles of impeachment and hold up a senate trial . The Mental Health safety net is in crisis. I see it every day. 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. Their turn is over. Theyve done enough damage. Its the senates turn now to render sober judgment as the framers envisioned. There has never, never, in the history of our country, been an impeachment trial of the president in which the senate was denied the ability to hear from witnesses. Chris up with the senate back in session, majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and minority leader Chuck Schumer making no progress in agreeing on ground rules for an impeachment trial of President Trump, and we are back now with the panel. So josh, where are we on senate going to hold firm and say, nancy pelosi, youre not going to dictate whats going to happen here, and secondly, you had come over the recess, you had to go republican senators, collins and makowski both express concerns about mcconnells hardline stance. What do you think of the chances that mcconnell holds firm that you could get them and maybe two other were republicans, which would give democrats potentially a majority to call witnesses and basically run the kind of trial the democrats want to . Well, first off, this whole thing has been kind of confusing to me as to why nancy pelosi believes that it increases or leverage by holding the papers. Every day that she holds them they look more and more bizarre and the closer and closer that they get to the iowa caucuses, which of course throws off the closing arguments for every 2020 democrat running against President Trump ultimately. But secondly, she has no leverage here. This is not about trying to control the contours of the senate. Shes never going to be able to do that. So this ends only one way, and thats when she sends the papers over without any kind of preconditions. Thats basically what Mcconnell Chris what about my second question, which is youve got 47 democrats. If they were to get four republicans, theyd have 51, that have a majority, assuming they all vote together, and then they could call Mick Mulvaney, they could call john bolton. Thats the if sent and candy and nuts could be christmas everyday. It is no chance of that happening. Let me tell you why. Specifically because what mcconnell is advocating for is an eminently reasonable process, one that was adopted 1000 in the clinton impeachment trial in the 1990s and what that does is provide impeachment managers from house and the president s defense team the opportunity to lay out their case and what is agreed to at the front end is that framework. After you get through that framework, then senators, after they go through a series of questioning, are able to look at whats missing and at that point you can have a discussion abou t pieces of evidence. Chris like witnesses. Right. The question is are we concerned, is there a concern that senators are ultimately going to back a democratic proposal to lay out this entire thing on the front end. No. No, absolutely not because what it does is create complete chaos and i got to tell you democrats dont want it either because there are a lot closer to getting 51 for hunter biden than anyone in the Trump Administration. Chris congresswoman edwards, how long can nancy pelosi hang onto these articles of impeachment . I mean, it was the democrats, it was pelosi, it was schiff who said donald trump, but weve got to move forward because he is he a clear and present danger. Now they are the ones holding up the process to remove them. I think we should examine that where we are right now is precisely because Mitch Mcconnell openly said that he wasnt going to have a fair process and i think its legitimate for Speaker Pelosi to actually keep to. Shes going to turn over the articles of impeachment, but she does want assurances given that mcconnell came out straightforwardl going to have r process and that he was coordinating with the president , and so and i think that she actually has created leverage because in fact she opened up the space for Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins and im waiting for mitt romney, who stands nothing to gain in this process by aligning himself with the administration, with the president , to make sure that there is indeed a fair process. Chris all right, we will continue, plenty of time to continue that conversation. Lets turn to the democratic president ial campaign, because we just got the Fourth Quarter, the end of 2019 fundraising numbers for all of the Democratic Candidates and theyre pretty interesting, put them up on the screen. Bernie sanders led the field in the Fourth Quarter raising 34 and a half million dollars. Pete buttigieg, joe biden and Elizabeth Warren are closely bunched, about 10 million behind and then its another 5 million back to andrew yang. How do you handicap the race at this point . Its a jump ball. Look, iowa is going to winnow the field to some extent. Typically people historically have talked about two or three tickets out of iowa. You could have as many as four or five out of iowa this next time and its anybodys game. Those were tremendous numbers for Bernie Sanders, but there are tremendous for everyone. The biggest question heading into iowa, just under 30 days from now, is well though senators that are running, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, cory booker, will they be able to be on the ground in iowa or are they going to be stuck here in washington . And for someone like in Amy Klobuchar or in Elizabeth Warren who are like right there, they are right there to get one of those tickets, they cant afford to seed weeks of ground to someone like Vice President biden or mayor buttigieg. Chris nancy pelosi strategy, hold up the senate trial so they canguess is thatt it is going to be a real issue. Chris we should point out that while they were raising that amount of money, donald trump in the Fourth Quarter raised 46 million, far more than any of the others, has built up a Huge Campaign war chest, has more than 100 million cash on hand, which raises the question, michael, how big an advantage for the president , how big a disadvantage for the democrats but hes building up this war trust just sitting there, basically hes got a couple people running against him but nobody serious while the democrats with the money theyve raised, which is impressive, are going to spend all of it going after each other . Its been a long time since an incumbent president was defeated for reelection. 1992. There is enormous advantages chris and he faced a primary challenge. And it also took a Third Party Independent who got the highest independent vote in u. S. History, at least in the 20th century. Extraordinary confluence of circumstances that dont look to be repeated and president bush, who was defeated in 19 lead to faced a very bad economy. Bill clinton ran against him and was able to seize on the democrats dont have that no. The economy should turn sour sometime this year but at this point in the 1992 campaign the economy had already been in the recession for the while and people were already discontent discontented. President trump looks very strong to me. Chris congresswoman edwards, when you look at not just the money, but also the polls, the thing i have to say surprise me, Bernie Sanders had a heart attack in the Fourth Quarter and there was a lot of talk that the party wasnt going to go far left, they were pulling the voters, pulling back to the center, the rise of buttigieg, biden with considerable strength. There are a lot of people out there that still support and are giving money to Bernie Sanders. There are. He showed resilience and energy, but i would say that joe biden has actually the aac all the tae demise of his campaign. I look to see a resurgence of somebody like Elizabeth Warren. It money on hand, a ground game in states like iowa and New Hampshire and has the ability to organize that forward in the in Amy Klobuchar. I think youre right, shes on the rise, but she cant afford to be taken off the field. Chris you havent winnowed it out at all. Im like most voters, im not ready to do that. I do look at the collective energy in the democratic field, you can say that in the fundraising were collectively the field still seems to be able to demonstrate that small donors from across the board, the democrats do still have a wind in theiwindin their sails. Chris 30 seconds, josh, was the biggest threat to donald trump . I dont think we know yet. I think there are some unique vulnerabilities. I think the Bernie Sanderselit of a really good economy is absolutely devastating for democrats. I dont know how you make the case to change the American Economy when youre doing this. Chris basically they thats exactly what im saying. Chris thank you, panel, see you next sunday.
