Berlin wall. Who will forget the words of president ronald reagan, telling gorbachev, tear down that wall. A rally cry that led to americas victory over communism. Well explore the gippers legacy with one of his former aides. And trump will head to alabama after the landmark anniversary of his historic win. In the form of impeachment hearings, if the president weighs in well go to the white house live. As we get a first look at a list of names that republicans want to testify in the public hearings this week. Hunter biden, the whistleblower who led to this whole situation. Chief among the witnesses they want to hear from. We have the story covered from all angles. Former assistant watergate assistant will join us. A Political Panel standing by. First over to lucas from washington with a list of the republicans. Good morning, and congratulations on your new show. Hunter biden, the republicans are calling a wish list of witnesses they want to see testify in the open when the public hearings are on capitol hill. In a scathing letter to House Intelligence Committee chairman, adam sniff, devin nunes wrote, americans see through this, to provide transparency to an otherwise opaque and unfair process, among the potential witnesses in addition to hunter biden, devon archer, from the Ukrainian EnergyHolding Company critics say hunter biden didnt know anything about it when he received the lucrative seat on the board when his father was vicepresident. And from Opposition Research firm was on there, too. Adam schiff alone gets to decide to can come to the hearing on wednesday. We didnt put down the names of people that they want to talk to, and this is just another example to the American People, they can call in whoever they want. They didnt have to submit a list to us, did they . Next weeks hearings will be the first dealing with impeachment since november of 1998 when the house prepared articles of impeachment for former president bill clinton. Democrats are unlikely to approve the republicans list of witnesses. So far theres been no Public Comment from hunter biden. Were lucky to have you bring in a strong start. And former special assistant to the u. S. Attorney general, he joins us, john. Congratulations on your new show. Ed appreciate you coming on. I want to talk about this list that devin nunes and the republicans put out, we first broke it on fox and friends. What stands out to you about the list . We flashed a poll about impeachment that well get to in a moment. One thing that stands out. Well go through a point by point. Hunter biden is on the list and seems hes an important witness. What stands out none of them will get to testify. The 80 million, you know what that number represents. Ed no. When john dean testified in watergate hearing. Its estimated over five days, 80 Million People watched. This is not lost on the minority, majority or the president. This is a huge media event which is going to give you every opportunity to shape public opinion. These people are not testifying. Ed to your point, i speak with andy mccarthy, fox news contributor, former prosecutor himself. He thinks this is going to be the impeachment show more than anything. And he specifically had another idea for republicans, which is the idea of maybe having some of the witnesses read the script that adam schiff made up at the beginning of this and say, you were on the call. Did that happen as adam schiff said it . That would be a good technique in a courtroom. The trouble to me is the this is already a foregone conclusion. The inquiry, theyve already decided theyre going to impeach the president and now theyre just justifying it and its dead in arrival in the senate and whats the point. Ed lets start with the whistleblower, we dont know the identity, we have reports, they havent been confirmed who the whistleblower is. The whistleblowers Attorney Says they want to make sure that he or show is safe and republicans want to talk to the whistleblower and other intelligence agents who spoke to the whistleblower. At the top, the democrats are likely going to veto all of those folks. So i thought the whistleblower started this off and the president made a fair point, why cant he face his accuser . Fairness doesnt matter. Creating transparency, republicans have a submit a written request, show the relevance and its up to the chairman. So, fairness doesnt matter. Ed okay, if we were getting into fairness and i gets your point that the democrats may not want to be fair, but if this is going to be a serious process, wouldnt it be fair to bring in hunter biden . Because the president , part of his defense has been that in the call with the ukrainian leader back in july when he was talking about corruption, he wanted generally to go after corruption in ukraine, but specifically with unt hunter biden, making over 80,000 a month. Maybe there was nothing wrong about you on the other hand we simply dont know. The democrats position is going to be, was there an Impeachable Offense . If you have a defense, thats what the senate is for. Thats what the trial is all about. Thats the analogy to the prosecutor. I think its a false analogy, but thats going to be their position. Ed what do you see that is similar is the last question, to watergate. And what is dramatically different. You talked about how 80 Million People were watching john dean. The way its splintered now, its unlikely youll captivate like that. What is the difference. Alexander hamilton warned that impeachment should not be partisan. This could not be mo more partisan. In watergate, it was a bipartisan issue. President nixon lost the support of the republicans. Here, it would require 20 senators, republican senators to break ranks. Its just not happening. Ed all right, john, thats why we brought him in for his sharp legal analysis. Well have you back in the days ahead. Thanks. Ed the hearing is getting underway removing the veil of secrecy that enshrouded much of this process. Democrats released a new batch of transcripts from witnesses who appeared behind closed doors. The president stepped up his criticism of the process. They shouldnt be having public hearings, its a hoax. This is just like the russian witch hunt, this is a continuation. This is like the fake dossier, just like everything else. These are crooked people. They lost an election and they lost it big. Ed and lets bring in our Political Panel. Connie mack, former from florida, adjunct professor at George Washington school of government and joe ruben former assistant secretary of state under president obama, now president of the Washington Strategy group. Appreciate you both coming in. Thank you very much, ed. Thanks for having us and congratulations. Ed appreciate it. Good to have you both. Congressman mack, i want to start with you. The president said to a gaggle of reporters yesterday and we may hear from him live in a few moments and well go to the white house if that happens. He went on to say he doesnt think there should be public hearings. Congressman mack, i thought it was the republicans and your party thats been saying you want more transparency, you want this out in the public and now the president is saying he doesnt even want hearings. I think what people realize and the president realizes is this is really a kangaroo court. Youve got a setup on the democrats said where they control the levers and theyre only going to let one message out. I mean, theyve come up with terms for this these hearings that make it almost impossible for the republicans to even put up a fight and thats what theyve tried to do is take everything away from the republicans to be able to get a message out and put it all this is all about getting the people of the country to support impeachment. Thats what these hearings are about for the democrats. Theyre trying to sell a point. Theyre not actually trying to determine whether or not there should be impeachment. Ed lets get joe ruben in on that. If as a former obama official, as you heard from jon sale, watergate you had some reaching across the aisle. Some bipartisanship. Why have democrats failed in the early stages at least to get some semblance of bipartisan here . Ed, i wished that we did have republicans reaching out and saying, yes, they do believe that its a danger for the american president to use taxpayer dollars to extort a foreign ally to spy essentially on and dig up dirt on president ial candidate who hes competing with. This is a problem. And frankly, this process, its legitimate. Right now what the white house is doing is continually moving the goal post. First no quid pro quo and that was found and then was private hearings are bad, need them in public and thats no good. Ed okay. One thing the white house isnt doing is engaging on the substantial. Ed i didnt want to cut you off. I want to stop you on the extort and spy part. The transcript of the phone call suggests its not as perfect as the president says, but for you to say that the president was extorting a governor leader and somehow spying, how do you back that up . The extortion he essentially went to the president of ukraine and said, if you dont provide for me dirt on joe biden and thats through a back channel, a shadow foreign policy, then im not going to provide you with military aid to defends your country under attack by russia right now. Thats extortion and using our tax dollars to do that for his own personal political benefit. Thats why this is problematic and why republicans arent defending that action. Theyre using other arguments. Ed go ahead. Ed, yeah, i apologize, joel, what you just said is just not accurate. That is not what the conversation was. You know, this is according to this is a talking point that the left want to put forward beau thats not what happened and the reason that you put the house twisting and turning the way they are, the democrats, is because theyre having a hard time to keep that narrative together. So you know, its really an opportunity for republicans, if they can get continue to shine the light on that this is a sham hearing anyway. Ed okay. But those talking points just, theyre just not accurate. Ed gentlemen, ive got two minutes. I want to give you a fair crack at 2020. If you want to talk more about impeachment, this is an open session and i want everybody to be heard. Joel, you used to work in the Obama Administration and a lot of people thought that joe biden was going to seal this up. Michael bloomberg saying im thinking that im getting in. Its a signal na Mike Bloomberg said to joe biden he wasnt going to run and now hes concerned. The problem for him, theres not a lot of space in this primary for him to take votes from the progressive wing, so he may under up undermining biden more aggressively. And mention with the congressman in his response on impeachment, thats all in the sworn testimony that was in private over the past couple of weeks. And everything as i said. So well see it come out next week in the public hearing. Ed some of those officials, joel, as you know have said, i heard from this other official who heard from this official something thats third or fourth hand. And other parts of it, firsthand. Congressman mack, i want to give you the last word. Are republicans sort of licking their chops at the idea that maybe bloomberg is getting in because he fathers that Elizabeth Warren or someone on the hard will evident is going to get the nomination . I think thats true. And i think it shows how weak the current field is it that now bloomberg feels he can get in the race and have an opportunity. A lot of the left are really trying to dump on his campaign before it even really starts. And usually that happens when people are fearful that theyre going to that the person could get some momentum. Hes going to shine a light on the weaknesses of all the other candidates and the fact that hes getting in now showed, i think, that biden is no longer seen as the threat that he once was. Ed yeah, news week and a columnist at Washington Post are also suggesting that maybe another former obama official in eric holder may get into the race as well. Joel, its interesting for your side. Well have you back. Congressman mack, always interesting to talk to you. Thank you very much. Ed if Mike Bloomberg does formally enter the race, does it spell trouble for joe biden . Well talk to one of the more moderate democrats, president ial candidates, john delaney, a former congressman from maryland. He joins us coming up. All right, it was one of the most iconic moments of the 20th century. Berlin wall falling 30 years ago today, marking the end of communism, and in the german capital, you see that marking a pivotal moment. The wall was built between east and west germany. Ed who can forget the quote by president reagan, mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall. And former Reagan Assistant talking about Ronald Reagans lega legacy. Were awaiting potential remarks for President Trump as he leaves the white house for alabama. Well see what he has to say framing the upcoming hearings, impeachment hearings on the hill, plus the president making his pitch to africanamerican voters in atlanta yesterday hoping to boost his support for 2020. The Republican Party was the original home of africanamericans and now africanamericans are returning. It was 100year trip if you think about it. Ed can he make inroads with this key voting block .

When i ran for office three years ago i looked at the bleak, dismal record of the Democrat Party and asked the africanamerican community, what the hell do you have to lose . Right . What do you have to lose . Weve done more for africanamericans in three years than the broken washington establishment has done in more than 30 years. [applause] President Trump of course just yesterday making his pitch to africanamerican voters in atlanta, as he launched a new initiative to court voters in the africanamerican community. The president touting gains under his watch, including very low unemployment hoping to garner more support from the important voting block in 2020. Joining me now kimberly, a republican strategist. Good to see you. Ed as we mention the low unemployment. And the rhetoric is going to repel africanamericans in 2020. People get mad were talking about the unemployment numbers. Thats important because that means freedom, were taking control of our own narrative. People are tired of this. Democrats vote against things that we hear about global warming, and everything, but helping the neighborhoods. Ed he thinks that the democrats care more about Illegal Immigrants and hes stood up, accurate to say theyve stood up and Democratic Candidates and raised their hands that they Want Health Care for Illegal Immigrants, but went on to say they care more about Illegal Immigrants than black voters, how do you back that up . Thats true. I did the video and we see the Living Conditions in baltimore and here were talking about the Living Conditions in the southern border and those are better than some in west baltimore. It has to stop and end. Were americans and we helped build this country. Ed democrats would argue, separating families as was the policy at the border wouldnt be great conditions for families and thats one of the issues theyre upset about when you say that the conditions at the border are better. Well, they talk about the families. How about Family Structure in the black community . How many like trump reduces prisoner reform and this is getting black fathers back in the home. They should be celebrating that. All we hear about is Illegal Immigrants. Ed weve seen some of the citizens at the white house and the president highlighting their stories. Absolutely. Ed a moment ago you mentioned the videos you posted in july, you were on fox and friends and you spoke about poor Living Conditions where you live in baltimore. At that time congressman Elijah Cummings was the congressman there and hes since passed away always in our thoughts and prayers. Vicepresident pence was at the funeral. And you wrote vote for trump, what do you have to lose, quoting 2016 and remember best unemployment numbers. Are you in. Were in, were doing it, im filing, im excited. You know. We need changes, we need changes not just in baltimore, but on capitol hill. I mean, you look at whats going on down there. First of all, theyre not getting any work done if were going to be honest. We need stronger republican voices against socialism, against the squad, against, you know, or just helping with his policies and draining the swamp and i think, honestly, the American People need stronger voices on transparency, within congress, or even, i want to push term limits. I have to be honest. Ed so lets break it down. Before we get into your candidacy. Yes. Ed there were some including congressman cummings, at the president pointing out a rat infested neighborhood and with a not. You said, look, i live there, and people may not like it, but we need to clean it up. Is that your campaign about . There are people taking me around in their areas and showing me. What he tweeted actually, he just repeated what one of the young ladies said in my video. She was living in this the situation with her child. Its absolutely rat infested. Theres documentaries on it. Former mayor pugh talked about it. For everyone to say its a racist thing to say, infested, hes literally repeating what everyone has been saying for years. Ed of all races. Yes. Ed do you hope to have the support of the president . A special election is in april after a democrat and republican nominee. Youre running in the primary and mayor cummings widow may get in. Baltimore has been run by democrats for a long time. How do you break that Democratic Power structure. Its going to be tough. I need help from anyone and everyone that can possibly help me. Its going to be an uphill battle. A lot of people said, are you crazy . Im a person going to knock on every day and shake every hand and listen to everyone in the community and figure out what to do to make a difference. I just hold your audience, everyone could maybe go to my website and its live now, kim k for congress. Com. 22512, kim k. Im you sound like i said it better than he did. Ed thank you very much. Thank you. Ed well follow your campaign and a lot of campaigns as we head democracy 2020 as we call it. And missing in iran for 12 years. Tehran making a stunning acknowledgment about the fate of Robert Levinson. That Development Still ahead. Plus, a major turning point in history, talking about it all morning, the berlin wall falling 30 years ago today. How president reagans famous declaration helped to make it happen. I have one kid in each branch of the military. I talk to my wife at least once a day, even though shes on the other side of the world. announcer they now get a year of amazon prime on us, and can mix and match their unlimited plans for 30 a line. Thats verizon. Youre having one more bite no one more bite kraft. For the win win. And my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. Ahh no, come on. I saw you eating poop earlier. Hey my focus is on the road, and thats saving me cash with drivewise. Whos the dummy now . Whoof whoof so get allstate where good drivers save 40 for avoiding mayhem, like me. Sorry hes a baby news alert. Force first time iran acknowledging a Court Case Involving fbis Robert Levinson. What happened, his whereabouts. Ryan. Yeah, a lot of questions, ed. What we do know is that in a filing to the United Nations, iran has acknowledged, revealed that there is an ongoing case involving Robert Levinson in irans revolutionary court. They did not elaborate at all beyond that, but that in itself is a significant change in the messaging that we have been getting from iran for these last 12 years since he disappeared, that simply, they dont know where he is. Hes not being held in that country. Now, irans revolutionary court typically handles espionage cases and the westerners involved in the cases are often find guilty and used as bargaining chips. The Trump Administration says theyve raised the reward for 25 million. In a Washington Post editorial, jason, who spent more than a year in iran called this disclosure from iran a ray of light and it said it may be a hint from the iranians that they are prepared to do a deal. If true, he says levinson may be the longest held congresssionaling in u. S. History. Getting back to what we dont know. We dont know for a fact that levinson is in iran. We dont know what the case is, that hes involved in, what the substance of that case is. We dont know if hes alive. The video weve been showing you is the only video shown of him shot in 2011 and in it you can hear him complaining about his health. What we also can tell you though, that his family says they have every reason to believe that hes alive and delighted that the Trump Administration this last week as shown such an interest in bringing him home. Ed important details well stay on top of. Appreciate you coming on. If you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall cheer cheers who can forget that. President reagan speaking those famous words at brandonberg gate two years before the fall of the berlin wall. Today marks 30 years since that barrier came down and freedom was finally let in. Right now on the left of your screen, youre looking live at the ceremony thats happening underway in berlin. The chancellor Angela Merkel and others were there, and as well as the secretary of state from the United States. Im joined by a former assistant to president reagan, the president will see you now, stories and lessons, peggy, thank you for coming in. Thanks for having me and congratulations on the new show. Ed appreciate it. Bottom line from me, when you hear those words from president reagan, it puts chills through you, what he said to gorbachev. It does. For him it was a culmination of fighting from communism back when he was president of the Screen Actors Guild he was concerned about the red scare in hollywood. We remember the words at the berlin wall. Prior to that he was calling soviet union an evil empire, destined for the ash heap of history. While it made many people nervous, they were instead calling the soviet system a giant misunderstanding. He believed it was the foundation between good and evil and right and wrong and arent we glad he boldly proclaimed those words at that gate that day. Ed when you look at your book, Lessons Learned from president reagan, you learned upclose working for him, what do you think we should be thinking about 30 years later . Well, he always said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Its not handed to our children in a bloodstream, but it must be fought for and defended and protected by every generation. So i think today he would celebrate this incredible moment, but also would be mindful to remind us that its something we need to be diligent about. We know that the world is a dangerous place. He believed in peace through strength. That was militarily, it was also economically. And he also believed in strength of messaging, which he showed time and time again. He also believes in the power of optimism. He believed that it was a cold war that could be won and he was hoping to win it without firing a single shot and he did. Yeah, and if you think about the world as we see it now, with the threats we still have from north korea to iran which we were reporting on. What do you think that President Trump would be thinking of if he would survey the global stage right now . Well, he always believed in facetoface diplomacy. So he believed it was vital to get facetoface with these leaders and believed there was nothing that couldnt be solved if two people sat across the table with each other. Even though he believed the cold war would be won, i think he would be surprised how quickly it was won. It was long and hard fought and he tried to reach out to brezhnev, and andropov who all died in office and how the warm fire in geneva that would thaw. Ed and President Trump has a doctrine and an election coming up, but what are the lessons from the reagan doctrine that you think are important for this president . Reagan the strategy, we win, they lose, but he surrounded with himself with strength in allies as well. Looked to Margaret Thatcher and pope john pall ii allies in putting pressure on communism all over the world and he looked to people, people once they got a taste of freedom they couldnt help, but want more. And thats the real lessen. He knew capitalism and communism couldnt coexist side by side. So ultimately capitalism and freedom had to prevail. Ed you had a chance to be at his elbow. The book is the president will see you now, thanks for coming in. Breaking news, the president just spoke to reporters. Were going to go there. Theres a tape of that and well turn it in a minute. And in the meantime, Bloomberg Bloomberg a first step to enter the race for the white house. And the impact on the democratic field. A fox poll shows more than twothirds of democratic primary voters are happy with their choices, at least thats what they say. President ial candidate john delaney joins me live from the campaign trail. Congressman, appreciate you coming in. Thanks, ed, congratulations on the show. Ed i appreciate it and i want to in advance advise if i interrupt you to go to the president of the United States. He just spoke to reporters, it was brief, we want to hear from him and well give you a chance to react to him. In the meantime. Bloomberg bloomberg is ceptionly saying you and joe biden trying to get the moderate lane, that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are nailing that down. What say you . I think were reading too much into this this. Bloomberg bloomberg may have woken up. Hes a Business Leader and philanthropist and wants to run for president. Bloomberg is data driven and most democratic primary voters most people in the country are looking for people who had business experience and experience actually serving as an elected official. Thats a really powerful combination, youve had experience leading in public service, but you also understand how the economy works. And lets face it, the economy is the most important issue for pretty much every american. So, i dont think we should read too much into his analysis of of the field. We might have woken up one day, heck, ive always wanted to do this, you only have one life and he obviously can do it, unlimited Financial Resources sos going to jump in the race. Ed to your point, congressman, if youve got 40 or 50 billion dollars you might wake up and say all kinds of things, might want to buy or jump in the president ial race, ill take your point. Big picture i was in miami for the first debate for the democrats and i remember you telling me, ed, this is not going for fly tore the Democratic Party to go to the voters next november with the idea youre going to destruct the private health industry. I think those were your words essentially and yet, here we are and Elizabeth Warren is pushing ahead gaining in the polls, has a lot of money and not only wants to spend 52 trillion on medicare for all, but she essentially wants to blow up that private Health Insurance industry that you said democrats cant do. Well, its such a crazy idea, ed because we have a problem with our Health Care System. We have about, now, 10 to 20 of this country who is uninsured or underinsured. We should fix that problem which im proposing to do by giving those folks health care, but we shouldnt disrupt the rest of the health care marketplace. Health care is one fifth of our economy. What shes basically saying were going to throw out 80, 90 of the Health Care System to fix the 10 or 20 that doesnt work. Im for fixing whats broken and keeping whats working and i think thats the way most common sense americans are. If youve done something in your life other than be in politics, thats the way you think about the world because you have to actually live in the real world. And you have to get that. Imagine having a college i was in a couple of colleges in south carolina, said to one of the university professors, imagine if you had a problem with one of your departments and your solution is to level the whole college and start from scratch. Thats not how you fix things. Youve got a problem with the department, you focus on that and thats the way we should be thinking about health care. Ed i want to hear you out, congressman. I guess my broader question, you and i were having this same conversation in miami at the first debate in june. And yet the energy and excitement for the Democratic Party still seems to be for youre wrong and theyre right, that they want to destroy the private health industry, whats not breaking through for you and more moderate democrats. Be careful not to listen to the loudest voices in the room and i think weve got a lot of those voices coming out. And were going to see what people really think in a couple of months when we have the iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. In those states voters really start dialing in these last couple of months and im a huge optimist. Im optimistic for our country. You mentioned president reagan earlier his optimism. This is a magnificent country. We have every advantage any nation could possibly want to have. What we dont have is a functioning government where our leaders get together and solve problems. We can Fix Health Care in this country, but you dont Fix Health Care by throwing the whole system out and i think most democrats are going to get behind that. Ed and congressman, i want to be fair to you on another point. You were saying, Michael Bloomberg may have had a thought about getting in. Fox news poll i want to show it to you. If this person got into the democratic race you would definitely vote for them or never vote for them. Michelle obama 50 . Hillary clinton 27 . Michael bloomberg 6 . Late october. Only 6 of democratic primary voters that we talked to in october want Michael Bloomberg so hes going to have a high hurdle to clear . Again, ed. None of these no disrespect to your poll or any other poll. I was just reading about john mccains campaign in 2008. I just got off the plane, he laid off the staff and focused on New Hampshire and wasnt doing great in the polls. Things change in all of these races. You know, its great to folks on the horse race because thats an easy thing for people to focus on pt at the end of the day, politics is like the world, its like life, things change and Michael Bloomberg is a very, very intelligent and data driven individual im sure whatever decision hes looking at, hes making it in cleareyed way. Ed and same for john kerry and all of a sudden he was the Iowa Democratic nominee. And most of those folks, im still paying attention and listening and i think that optimism will kind of win the day at the end of the day. Theres a lot of negativity in the democratic primary like the country is terrible, all of that stuff. I dont believe that. Ed got to go congressman, but youre making an important point we should never forget. Let the voters actually weigh in not just the pundits and not just the polls. Congressman, well have you back soon. Thanks. Ed were awaiting the comments from President Trump. Well have that after the break.

Republicans sending letter to house intel committee, adam schiff naming the witnesses that they would like to to testify as part of inquiry. Busy day here, im leland vittert, you look at the list it is a wish list. [laughter] gillian it is, indeed, a wish list. Leland not necessarily what youre going to get. Gillian a lot of hope, not necessarily great to be with you, great to be with you, im gillian turner, the letter that has the wish list, you know, contained inside of it first retained by fox news, lists 8 specific people, democrats will get a say, leland, they have to approve any number of these people before they actually get to the public hearings, so they will have a say here, its far from clear any of these people will actually materialize. Leland democrats dont get a say, they get veto power. Gillian exactly. For more details lucas, what are you finding . At the top of the list former Vice President s son hunter biden followed by the anonymous whistleblower, witnesses gop want testify out in open on wednesday and scathing letter that democratic chairman House Intelligence Committee adam schiff, Top Republican on the Committee Devin Nunes called the democrats impeachment inquire opaque and unfair, in addition, hunter biden, nunes wants to hear from devin archer, Ukrainian Energy company critics say hunter biden joined because his dad was the Vice President at the time without much knowledge Ukraine Energy sector paying 50,000 a month. Adam schiff approves he can come out wednesday. We didnt really want to put down names of people that they were going to call anyway, we know they will coming up. This is just another example to the American People they can call in whoever they want, they didnt have to submit a list to us today, no. We want the public to see everything that we saw except for tinny bits of classified information. We want to refute republicans that said there was anything untoward. The public hearings the first dealing with impeachment inquiry since november of 1998, thats when gopled house prepared articles of impeachment for former president bill clinton. Democrats unlikely to prove any of the republicans list of witnesses, gillian, so far no Public Comment from hunter biden. Gillian. Gillian well, we will all eagerly stand by, waiting a commenting, lucas, let us know if you get one, thank you. Leland President Trump heading to alabama today for the alabama lasu game but did sound pretty confident about impeachment. Hi, ellison. President trump came out of the white house, he made a brief statement to reporters and did not take any questions, he ignored shouted questions about whether or not he believed hunter biden should testify, he then took marine one to joint base andrews an spoke to reporters traveling with him on marine one, on the tarmac just before boarding and made a little bit of news, he said that he will release the transcript or some sort of transcript for that second phone call he had with the ukrainian president , he says that will be released on tuesday, in terms of impeachment, though, he has no issue with the impeachment proceeding moving public, public testimonies happening as they are scheduled for this womaning week, he said his position he simply does not think impeachment should happen at all. A number of white house officials defied congressional subpoenas this week, the most recent acting white house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, scheduled to testify but did not show up. The noshoes in their view at least that President Trump or the white house is trying to obstruct congress, the president told reporters on the south lawn yesterday, he does not want to give credibility to what he sees as a corrupt witch hunt. Except one thing, it validates a corrupt investigation, adam schiff is a corrupt politician. Hes as corrupt as youll ever see. John bolton did not show up for his interview on thursday, bolton and former Deputy Cooper have asked the courts to weigh whether or not they should deaf white house orders and testify as the legislative branch wants them to, the former trump adviser is willing to talk only if the courts approve instead of wait to go see what a judge would say House Democrats with drew subpoenas in letter to house general counsel, boltons Attorney Says hes dismay by the houses decision and leaving behind valuable information. Bolton the letter says was personally involved in many events, meetings and conversations about which you have received testimony as well relevant meetings and conversations that have not yet been discussed in the testimony thus far, democrats leading the inquiry said bolton were going to courts in an effort to delay and obstruct potentially obstruct their investigatory actions so far. Leland the letter worth reading in its entirety, ellison barber at the white house, ellison, thank you. Gillian. Gil fill now lets bring in republican james comer, one of the 3 committees overseeing impeachment inquiry, sir, great to have you with us, thanks for your time, so you heard what my colleague ellison just reported that excerpts from john boltons attorney, letter they sent yesterday, why doesnt President Trump want his own former National Security adviser to testify . Well, this who process is a sham, i agree with what President Trump said, the president is not allowed to have his own counsel in there, i think that adam schiff has created a situation where the American People have lost complete confidence in this impeachment process being a fair process and if adam schiff wants to have a fair process, then he needs to do this transparently. But, sir needs to let the president have his own counsel. Gillian respectfully i asked you about john bolton, what could go wrong about having him testify to the committee behind closed doors, he was a tremendous ally of the president , he joined the federal government to specifically work on his team, carry out National Security vision, whats the harm in having him talk to the committee, wouldnt it help the president . Well, i think that right now the president has zero confidence in this being a fair trial. If it were a fair trial i believe President Trump would welcome john bolton coming to testify. Gillian what about the other folks on this list, we have this witness wish list, its got 8 people on it, the first person is hunter biden, what are the chances you think that you guys are going to be able to get him . Well, if they really want to have a fair process and want the American People to have confidence in this impeachment inquiry, then they would let hunter biden come before congress to testify because when i traveled kentucky, the biggest question i get from people in kentucky is what about hunter biden in this. The mind set among a lot of people in america, 50 , the only corruption coming out of the transcript is the potential corruption by hunter biden. Its certainly conflict of interest to have a Vice President s son with no background in the Energy Industry profiting at such a large amount from a company that he has no background in and they havent been transparent in why exactly hunter biden was a member of that board of directors and why he was getting paid such a large salary. Gillian the obvious fact here is that hunter biden is also a democrat, he worked pretty close to his father at times on his president ial campaign, so why do you want the American People to hear from another democrat who is going to be very critical of President Trump, very critical of this entire administration and obviously going to look defend him as much as possible, dont you want to get people on the witness stand who are on your own side . I do. There have been some people that have been deposed that have given very favorable testimony for President Trump. Gillian yeah, hes on the list. Right. We need the American People to see that a lot of people that were in the room that were in the no, a lot of people that have made accusations, they werent on the phone call, they werent in the room, they are just repeating hearsay, but the people that were in the room, on the call believe that there was certainly no quid pro quo on behalf of the president and that the president was simply doing what a president should do ensuring that if we are going to give hardearned morn dollars to a foreign country in terms of foreign aid that country needs to eliminate corruption and if you look at the hunter biden situation, theres potential corruption there when you go back to remembering the things that joe biden tried to get the Ukrainian Government to do to look the other way. Gillian all right. I think that, you know, certainly the American People want to see hunter biden and i think the American People would like to hear what john bolton has to say as well. Gillian what about the letter that devin nunes wrote to adam schiff, he wants chairman to sit for a deposition, what are you hoping to get from schiff, that you havent hes been talking to reporters every single day. He as been talking to the reporters but if you go back to what adam schiff said initially, he didnt know who the whistleblower was, we suspect that there has been a relationship and conversations between gillian well, sir, thats a stretch, we know for a fact according to multiple witnesses testimony also according to schiff and staff have not spoken to whistleblower, a staffer for schiff spoke to whistleblower. Something that adam schiff should be required to talk about under oath in the light of day so thats something that would make the process more fair, a lot of americans believe that this is a political witch hunt, a lot of americans believe and rightly so that the Mueller Report was unfounded political witch hunt h. Gillian sir, we are coming up against hard break, we have to leave it there, thank you, sir, for your time today, we really appreciate it, we will have you back soon. Thank you very much. Gillian leland. Leland great conversation there, lets get on who from the administration will and will not testify with former senior counsel to homeland security, Litigation Department kevin, good to have you, back, sir. All right, you put up the letter that ellison barber was talking about from john boltons attorney chuck cooper, the pertinent situation here is that bolton has a recollection of events, meetings and conversations, many relevant meetings and conversation that is have not yet been discussed in the testimonies thus far. You followed the logic out from that, conceivably if that was exculpatory in some way, the president would want him to testify to that . Leland, thanks for having me on, he might. Every president since George Washington has asserted executive privilege in some instances and every Congress SinceFirst Congress has issued subpoenas, so what i think ambassador bolton and lawyer have done here is very smart in seeking declaratory judgment from the court in seeing whose interest should win out, the interest of the executive or the legislature, we dont know what ambassador bolton is going to say, presumably President Trump would want him to testify. Leland its worth reading the letter for yourself because you can read it both ways, somebody who wants to testify or doesnt want to testify, whats the law in this, though, if im a private citizen and im out of Government Service as john bolton is, can the white house stop me from testifying . They really cant stop him, they can try to get the courts to quash the subpoena but if ambassador bolton decides to testify, as long as he doesnt reveal classified information in public forum, as practical matter theres nothing that can be done to him. Leland the difference would be Something LikeMick Mulvaney who is part of lawsuit, said he was going to come and let everybody there at 9 00 a. M. , one minute before we have immunity and privilege here. How is it different for somebody who is a current member of government . Certainly if he defied the president and decide today testify over his wishes hed be fired presumably, but beyond that theres really not that much to get done to him if he decides to tell his part of the story. Leland it can take months, years, even to get a hearing, is that whats going to happen here . I dont think so. Back in 1974 when the Supreme Court was asked to decide the United States versus nixon case, the Supreme Court was able to decide that in 3 weeks in unanimously ruled against president nixon, the courts can handle this quickly if they want here and judge lion, hes been moving it out on pretty expedited basis. Leland anything to read into who the judge is and past rulings and leanings . No, very wellrespected judge. I wouldnt read too much into it other than hes very experienced jurist. Leland is this where does this work in terms of the law . You think about something the bush v. Gore case where it became the Supreme Court making the decision, impeachment isnt necessarily a legal fight and its not necessarily entirely a political fight. Exactly right, half man, half best, eventually the house and the senate are going to do what they wish to do as politicians, what the courts are really going decide whether subpoenas are enforced. Leland if we put it right now to you looking at the Supreme Court, does gorsuch and kavanaugh change . In United States v. Nixon you had folks associated with the Republican Party and president nixon but the decision came out against him. I think the justices kavanaugh and gorsuch probably believe in strong executive branch but the executive branch and finally so far in these cases is making pretty extraordinary claims. So i wouldnt want to think that Justice Kavanaugh or gorsuch are automatically going to be ruling in favor of the Trump Administration. Leland appreciate it as as always, kevin. Theres a lot more to talk about impeachment, Chris Wallace interviewsviews with two member offense the House Intelligence Committee, will huld from texas and maloney, howard kurtz talks impeachment with stephanie grhisham. Gillian kristina Lankford Johnson was shot twice in the heart after jumping from her vehicle, waving her hand in the air to show she was not a threat, the burial today comes just a day after 5 other victims were laid to rest yesterday. Thats ramida miller and four of her children, miller and children were killed by cartel criminals who shot them dead in suv on dirt road near u. S. Mexico border. Leland you know what the video is called on our Computer System . Cold people and that is because time to get out the hats and gloves in many parts of the people, dc included, adam klotz is not cold, hes inside, but ready to tell you how cold it would be, hi, adam.

Gillian millions of americans across the northeast dealing with freezing temperatures this weekend even though its only the beginning of november, i object. Meteorologist adam klotz is in the extreme Weather Center with todays forecast, adam, i dont know if dc is quite freezing but definitely feels like it, i hope youre doing better in new york. Its really cold in dc, really cold across the northeast as you said, unfortunately this is the beginning, i will have more bad news for you in just a minute, these are the temperatures we are talking about here, mid30s in detroit stretching down to pittsburgh, right and down the coast, 40degrees here in new york city, but really this is only limited to the northeast at this point, so if you live back in the middle of the country, maybe enjoying really nice weather, 70degrees in rapid city, big pile of warm air in the middle of the country that will not last, theres another round of very cold, very arctic weather thats on the way, this is our forecast, some of the deep arctic canadian colds that you typically see and as you run through time frame from today into sunday, monday, tuesday and wednesday, you start to see the air mass dip down into portion it was United States and the numbers drop rapidly as it happens, so here is your forecast at highs for today, you get into sunday and start to see some of the colder air falling in, forecasted highs, spots get to go 20degrees, this settles a whole lot further on monday the same is true on tuesday. Same also true on wednesday, and again, these are daytime highs over the next couple of days, if you start to look at Early Morning lows you see how cold it really gets, lows monday morning and plenty of places in the upper plains getting down into single digits, this does fall deeper into the continental United States by tuesday, Tuesday Morning a very large area where youre talking about spots into the teens only and then by wednesday morning pretty much the entire eastern half of the country is going to be at freezing or below. So unfortunately more cold weather is headed your way. Gillian well, thanks for nothing. [laughter] leland adam, a lot this time of year. Gillian we will check back with you later in the hour even though we dont want to. Leland cant wait, moving on, centers for Disease Control named vitamin acetate as culprit and found in lung samples of 29 people who got sick, Garrett Tenney with more on this and where vitamin acetate is found on the pods, hi, garrett. Leland, good afternoon to you, after 8 months of searching Health Officials are calling this a breakthrough, oily substance found in foods in Skin Care Products but also often now being used to dilute the liquid in vaping products that contain thc, the component of marijuana, well, vitamin, when heated and inhaled may interfere with normal lung function, despite the new findings, Health Officials still arent ruling out the possibility that other ingredients could also be responsible for this outbreak. Now that we found vitamin acetate in the lung, in the lung fluid, this is really going to help us narrow the investigation and move it forward. Theres more testing that needs to be done and this was only the first set of samples that they received. Nationwide the outbreak of vapingrelated lung injuries has claimed 39 lives and sickened more than 2,000 people according to cdc, most of the victims are in their teens and early 20s, in response on friday President Trump said his administration plans to announce new Vaping Regulations this next week. We have to take care of our kids most importantly so we will have an age limit of 21 or so, but we will be coming out with something next week very important on vaping, we are talking about the age, we are talking about flavors, we are also talking about keeping people working. A few months ago President Trump suggested that flavors other than tobacco and menthyl would be banned but he has received a lot of pushback from the vaping industry and you can see right now outside of the white house where hundreds of people are rallying to protest a ban on flavors, so at this points the not clear if the administration will include that measure in its proposal next week, leland. Leland noteworthy of the people getting sick in vitamin acetate products that have thc as opposed to the ones that have nicotine, gillian. Gillian 2020 president ial congressman Bernie Sanders and alexandria ocasiocortez holding another rally together this afternoon, theyre not the only ones hitting the campaign trail this weekend. What the democrats are up to next. Biopharmaceutical researchers. Pursuing lifechanging cures in a country that fosters innovation here, they find breakthroughs. Like a way to fight cancer by arming a patients own tcells. Because its not just about the next breakthrough. Its all the ones after that. Gillian 2020 democratic president ial cant dale Bernie Sanders campaigning out in iowa, holding a pair of rallies with congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez in the early voting state, Christina Coleman has all the details for you, what do you have . Hi, gillian, well, about 2400 people reportedly filled the Community College arena to hear aoc endorse the selfproclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders, the first of at least 3 stops they have in iowa together this weekend, sanders and aoc will hold a Climate Crisis summit in des moines later today, meantime the black vote is a hot topic right now in the campaign trail after President Trump yesterday unveiled plan to court africanamerican voters with a black for trump initiative. Recent wall street journal Democratic Front runner biden as top choice for 49 of African American democrats, as of now no one democratic candidate has overwhelming support from black voters in early swing states, south bend, indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg beating Kamala Harris in latest polls coming in fourth behind the partys top 3 front runners commenting today on black voices for Trump Campaign initiative which aimed to tout improvement that has made in communities, black Unemployment Rate which is down since Trump Took Office but Pete Buttigieg says thats not enough. That doesnt mean that this president is [inaudible] on the contrary, we have seen more and more hate crimes in this country and the president seems to think because Unemployment Rates are low billionaire and former new york city mayor Mike Bloomberg disrupting the president ial field, he filed paperwork and qualified for the alabama primary yesterday afternoon. Bloomberg reportedly was concerned about the steadiness of bidens campaign and rise of senator warren but biden indicated that he would be fine with bloomberg going for a president ial bid saying that he welcomes him into the race, now as for President Trump he says hes confident he could beat bloomberg referring to him as little michael and saying he doesnt have the magic to do well, gillian. Gillian kristina, thank you for that. We will check back with you next hour, leland. Leland panel is hear, progressive talk radio show robert and democratic strategist blake joining us from little rock, blake, i was about to say thanks for turning yourself from arkansas razor backs, i feel like im doing you a favor. There you go. Real quick, either you fellows think Michael Bloomberg changes anything, yes or no . No, not at all i think what bloomberg does is he he wants to shape the conversation, as far as electoral threat i dont think so. Do you agree with that . I totally agree when youre polling at 2 or 3 in iowa, its not a factor. [laughter] leland there we go. 2 for leland, oh my, okay. Leland we might find something that you guys disagree in sound bites, take a listen to Bernie Sanders and his new campaign trail partners. Who is ready for the revolution . [cheers and applause] tonight and this campaign and everything that we are here to talk about tonight is actually not about bernie and its not about me, we are here to talk about you. Thats what this is about. Thats what a Political Revolution is about, its about being seen and seeing each other. What the Political Revolution means is that we are ending politics as usual. Leland robert, you know any swing vote who is are interested in revolutions . The thing about a revolution is you go 360degrees to end up in the exact same spot. [laughter] you keep talking about a Political Revolution, you want to maintain things exactly as they are right now. What Bernie Sanders and aoc and others of the party need to understand is the people who will decide the election are worried about bread and butter, kitchentable issues, a case out in illinois where a black family discriminated against and asked to leave a restaurant because of their race, that brings up question of leland nobody we need leland nobody is saying thats right, nobody is campaigning on that, they havent been since the 60s, when you talk about bread and butter issues and kitchentable issues, people are talking about what happens in the schools, whether or not they will get job training, et cetera, listen to joe biden going back and forth on this issue about Elizabeth Warren. If you dont agree with Elizabeth Warren, you must somehow be be not a democrat, you must somehow be corrupt, you must not be a smart as she, its not who we are, elitist attitude about you are either my way or the highway, you must know what youre talk about if you disagree. I wasnt referring to Elizabeth Warren as being elitist leland okay, we can believe the second sound bite or lying ears, was he onto something with the first sound bite . Yeah, i think in certain regards, leland, this is more of a reaction to the bernie bro sentiment which it really is, in their line of thinking it is my way or the highway and and i dont know that its necessarily is effective with warren because i think theres a lot more nuance, but warren is certainly his most formidable challenger at this point and bernie is not and i think hes got to hes trying to link the two, whether its necessarily accurate really isnt the point, i think the point is to try and make warren and bernie to be this sort of iceberg like theyre inmobile, people who refuse to accept the nuance and compromise of politics that win president ial elections. Leland you have said the most interesting things in the network, whether its accurate or not is not important. We live in the age of donald trump, i think leland fair point. We certainly understand that accuratery has fallen by the wayside, i think what i was trying to say, leland, is i dont i dont think that warren supporters are necessarily as immobile as the bernie leland thats an interesting point in terms of policy, et cetera, robert, robert this to you, Christina Coleman talking about Pete Buttigieg in rise in the polls in iowa, et cetera, we are not really seeing anyone go after him in the way of circular firing squad that biden was describing between bernie, warren and himself, does that give him a lane . I think it absolutely gives Pete Buttigieg lane, he has money to last all the way through the end, we have seen beto orourke and other campaigns begging for the funds needed to continue, Pete Buttigieg has the money and infrastructure in place so he can stay as he thinks he will stay under the radar and fight this out to the convention, thats lane to victory. Leland wow, he seems to be hitting accelerator, interesting report where Pete Buttigiegs money is coming from, traditional Democratic Candidates who are not as happy about that perhaps as we just heard you talk about. Thank you, appreciate it, blake, we will let you get back to razerbacks game or get beat. Thank you, sir, gillian. Gillian well, for the first time now irans regime is talking about american hostages theyve been holding in their country, some of them for years, the government now admitting there is an Ongoing Court case concerning retired fbi agent rob levinson has been held captive in iran illegally since 2007, ryan has the scoop on where the court case is headed, ryan, is this potential good news for levanton . Its potentially good news, look, this is a very mysterious case, lets talk about what we do know. In a filing to the United Nations iran has revealed that there is an open case in irans revolutionary court involving Robert Levinson, they do not elaborate at all beyond that, that in itself is a significant shift from the iranians in terms of what they said about this, in the past they have said they know nothing about the whereabouts and they are not holding him. Now the revolutionary court referred to in the filing typically handles espionage cases and the westerners that are tried in those courts often end up as bargaining chips, we also know that this week the Trump Administration raised the rewarded for information that would lead to levansons safe return to 25 million, in a Washington Post editorial that appeared yesterday, jason who himself spent more than a year and a half in jail in iran, tehrans disclosure is hint that iran is prepared to make a deal. We dont know anything about the case involving him and we dont even know for certain he is alive. The only pictures and video of him are from 2011 and in that video he can reportedly be heard complaining about his health. If he is alive he would be the longestheld hostage in u. S. History and he would be 71 years old. Levansons family say they have every reason to believe hes alive and the Trump Administration is taking interest in bringing him home, thank you. Gillian ryan, theres the big question, you know, if levinson is alive and is, indeed, in iran as his family and a whole slew iranian experts believe he is, is the Trump Administration open to the idea of cutting some kind of a deal based on what President Trump has said in the past seems like unfortunately probably not, ryan, thanks for that. Leland.

Aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. When pain happens, aleve it. All day strong. Leland fox news alert just in the past couple of minutes, juice Intelligence Committee adam schiff has responded to the Congressional Republicans list of request of witnesses, gillian, we were talking abit as perhaps a wish list and now we know it is just that. This is from schiff, the committee is evaluating the minoritys request and give it due consideration to witnesses within the scope of impeachment inquiry as ordered by the house, the inquiry is not and will not serve, however, as vehicle to undertake the same shams investigation in biden and ukrainian ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit or facilitate the president s effort to threaten, intimidate and retaliate against the whistleblower who courageously raised the initial alarm. So it seems like they are setting up to say, no to hunter biden which was at the top of the republicans wish list, then also say no to the whistleblower and anybody that the whistleblower talked to, noteworthy gillian schiff said he didnt want to hear from the whistleblower behind closed doors. Put the whistleblower on the list for public testimony from the republicans perspective. Leland you have been covering minute by minute, the change in narrative from schiff has been amazing, back in september he said whistleblower will testify very soon. Gillian he did, what schiff has said is his narrative is changing because hes now moved into this mode where hes trying to protect the whistleblower from being publicly exploited. This whistleblower has now become a political pond thats getting bounced around between the two sides, everybody rushing to identify in washington . Leland it comes to both sides trying to play the game of what witnesses will show up, whether it is john bolton and Mick Mulvaney that the democrats want, whether its the whistleblower and hunter biden, the republicans wants. Eric talking now about what it means when the president wont allow members of his staff to show up, take a listen. The president has had an opportunity to allow witnesses to come who who could save him or provide exonerating evidence, any time he blocks someone and they dont come in we conclusion theres guilt there. Gillian the flip side to that is essentially what congressman mark meadows told me earlier in the week which was basically the people to try and request the president s chief of staff, the president s National Security adviser, you know, back when republicans were in the majority, he said can you imagine if we had subpoenaed susan rice or any one of valerie jared, david axelrod. The president s inner circle of righthand advisers, the whole thing they say is just crazy, so this is, you know, eric responding to that. Out of the committee, schiffs committee, we regret boltons decision not to appear but we have no interest in allowing the administration to play with us in the courts for months. This, leland, the new strategy going forward. Leland theres an important point here and that is in the United States in a trial, theres a right to a fifth amendment privilege and there is in any trial the judge says, you cannot read into the fact that a defendant did not testify against him, we will be right back, more on what schiff is having to say in a moment. Our members shop a little differently. So we reward every purchase. Lets see what kate sent. For you. For all of us. Thats for me. Navy federal credit union our members, are the mission.
