Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom With Bill Hemmer And Sandra Smith 20191227

Be drawn both sides digging in. Been great to be with you this week. The president signing off on twitter slamming them the move as democrats call for concessions in the trial pushing for witnesses and documents. Citing newly released emails and the phrase for ukraine funding. Would cut documents such as been relieved that show that within 90 minutes of this discussion that duffy told folks to not send the money to the military aid to ukraine and keep it on a needtoknow basis. I think theres other damaging information there and i think documents need to be provided and witnesses need to be heard from. The president s of his own witnesses. Rich edson live in west palm beach, florida, where the president is spending the holidays. Good morning, rich. Good morning lily and then to bali. President trump is focusing more on the House Speaker who led the effort to impeach him suggesting that somebody should primera nancy pelosi that she should focus instead on homelessness in california. She is tweeting crazy nancy should focus on that in her very down district and helping her incompetent governor with the big homeless problem. Speaker pelosi is withholding impeachment articles from the senate and delaying a trial. Shes trying to for republicans to agree to witness testimony. They have no credibility on this whatsoever and everybody can see that. It really is a charade. For them to be bemoaning the lack of due process or procedure or protocol is really just comical. Speak of the president says impeachment is a distraction from his president ial responsibilities. Democrats at the white house is stonewalling their investigation and Administration Officials did nothing wrong could come of have no problem testifying. The most important evidence available is being held from the Judiciary Committee and the most important witnesses in this impeachment trial are being kept from the American People and not to be allowed to go forward and testifies of the people could hear the facts and the jurors, the senators can make a fair verdict based on all of the statements. Oversees today a spokesman for do taric day from traveling there. Sanction filipino officials from criticizing the government. The government could enact visas for americans traveling there making it more difficult for americans who want to go to the philippines and also that president duterte could decline a visit to go to the United States because as he said he had no intention of coming here anyway. Let nancy pelosi hold the articles of impeachment because the longer this drags out, the more swing voters and independents are coming to republicans in droves. I know some people think its a bold statement but i really do think were going to take back the house in 2020 and i think President Trump is going to win in 2020 because the polls are showing that independents are tired of impeachment, they think its a sham, and they think its a political hit job. That is congressman guy reschenthaler are on the story predicting the impeachment strategy will backfire on democrats in november and republicans will take back control of the house. I have Marc Thiessen here with me come a former white house speechwriter and a columnist from the washington post. He had a chance to listen to the congressman and make his argument. We know ahead of the Impeachment Vote theres been a lot of concern about democrats in districts were trump one. Your thoughts on the congressm congressmans comments. Think it helps donald trump and it helps republicans gather going to gain seats in the house. This trust us say theyre going to take back the house. Polls show that twothirds of voters in swing states that whatever donald trump in 2016 but voted for democrats in 2018 plan to vote for the president in 2020. Theyre not going to split their tickets. How many people are going to vote to give donald trump four more years and then vote for the democrat who wanted to take that right away from them . Those guys are in trouble. The problem is there are 25 republicans retiring. You have to win most of those democratic seats and also hold the 25 seats. Its not impossible but its unlikely. Is a bull to make a prediction like that because elections can be all about production . Theres nothing wrong with making the prediction swing for the fences and thats not completely out of the realm of possibility but its a stretch. Earlier this week after a lawyer for the house Judiciary Committee revealed in a court filing that lawmakers could pursue even more articles of impeachment against the president. Are we now facing a rolling impeachment . She kind of brings up a lot of these questions that i had. Among the things she rode were republicans dismissed their tactic but why would she assume she wants a trial . How much of a stall move is this on the part of nancy pelosi . Speak of the first two articles of impeachment if worked out so well for them what they want to have more. Come on. I disagree with kimberly, i have no disorders respect for her. Nancy pelosi has a gun to her own head and shes threatening to shoot and republicans are synced make my last day. Republicans dont care when she sends them or if she ever sense them. Theres three reasons why it will backfire. First because the democrats own star legal witness, noah feldman, says unless they send the articles of impeachment over they havent actually impeach the president. There key witness says that they havent actually impeach him. Second of all, the democrats are delaying in the name of fairness. That argument gets weaker every week that goes by that the articles have been impeached. If you want some fairness how about accusing the president of high crimes and misdemeanors and denying him at trial to defend himself. Theyre going to lose the fairness argument that outs in the argument over. If you dont send the articles it undermines the case for obstruction of congress because the idea of the instructed congress is absurd. He went to the courts and so they are saying that is obstruction of congress and the reason they couldnt wait for the courts was because time was of the essence. Weve got to get this done, but now they are delaying so now they have all the time of the world . The whole case disappears if they dont on the articles of impeachment over. Heres one quote from a mrs. Pelosi is understood from the start the inevitable outcome is acquittal. Why hasten the president s vindication customer get the goal of this exercise all along with the damage mr. Protrumps prospect for reelection why wouldnt they want to hold an impeachment over his head for as long as politically possible . Then the question is how long can he hold his two articles or potentially more if there was a hit there there could be more coming somewhere down the line. Not outside the realm of possibility. How long can they hold a potential impeachment trial . If thats the strategy why were they in a hurry to impeachment before christmas . It runs counter to their entire estate is strategy up until now, what theyve discovered is that they thought after they had these hearings the American People would come around and it would work in the fact is it backfired on them because the Popular Support for impeachment for removal of the president has declined. What about until march. The senators campaigning can have their chance. The later you of the trial the more likely it is democrats will vote for removal. Alabama is literally the state were donald trump is the highest law rating in the countrys got to convince alabama voters to give him another term in office. How are you going to do that when just voted to remove the president and the closer it gets to the election the harder it gets for them to justify taking that choice away from alabama voters. The more likely the acquittal will be bipartisan. We cant let 2019 was fascinating, here comes 2020. Fox news alert as rescuers are still looking to find survivors of a plane crash this morning. 98 people on board in kazakhstan when the plane crashed right after takeoff. 12 people were killed and we understand that dozens more were injured which means there are some survivors.

The coast guard describing the weather conditions in the search as challenging. Bernie sanders is the one constant in the 2016 and 2020 democratic races. We are roughly five weeks from the Iowa Caucuses and there are rumblings that bernies staying power could make him the man to meet for the democratic nominations. Look at the headlines, wall street burglary , with that we bring in chris bedford, Senior Editor for the federalist and david turner, Democratic Governors Association Deputy Communications director. Nice to see both of you. Lets start with you, david. You buy the premise of this . Absolutely. Bernie sanders has raised untold amount of money. He has an huge email a list which allows them to have resources to compete through the end of the nomination process. I think one thing that is not being told here is the enduring power of moderates in the primary. You see the rise of Pete Buttigieg, joe bidens numbers have remained relatively stable throughout the entire process. Thats something to think about it come i think this is up for grabs. Will get to the issue of moderates in a minute. Joe bided du the rcp average in iowa for democrats. In New Hampshire, sanders is on top in the National Race is a very different look. The question, chris, is this. What happens if you end up with different winners for iowa, New Hampshire, and south carolina, which is something that looks now possible. I dont know why anyone ever quiet rode Bernie Sanders off based on the size of the rallies youve seen in the staying power and the excitement hes had. After he had the heart attack he was okay. The democratic primary will be fine if it split iowa and New Hampshire and south carolina. He still of some major states coming up. California will be a major playing ground for democrats of cars moving up in the primary calendar and instead has. This is still a wide open race as david said. There are some people in washington, d. C. , who would love to see Bernie Sanders gone. A lot of voters still were really enlivened by him. The argument is Bernie Sanders has a high floor and a low ceiling. You make the point theres going to be some type of centrist candidate to come out. This is what the wall street journal says about mr. Biden. Joe biden leaves leads National Polls but he may be a paper tiger. Mr. Biden has tottered in debates and is sustained does that make it easier for Bernie Sanders . I think there is a lien for a moderate weather its joe biden or Amy Klobuchar or Pete Buttigieg. Folks who have been rising in the polls in iowa in particular. As you pointed out, only a quarter of iowa caucus goers have made a decision to commit to a democrat so far. Like i said, this race is still wide open. Youre going to see this race close in the final weeks as it traditionally has before. You can take that to the bank. We have certainly seen things in iowa change in the fortunes of so many go with it. Now we look to what iowa is a swing state for the general 2016 President Trump one. 2012, president obama won. 2008, president obama won handily over john mccain. Chris, do we take anything from the fact that President Trump one iowa to the look forward to the Iowa Caucuses. Should look more at the direction of the Democratic Party nationally because shortly after President Trump one iowa come a lot of people did some soul searching and what have we forgotten in our base . You may policies have gotten too radical and maybe were out of touch with the white working class, which is a broad swath of the iowa electorate. We havent seen that in the Democratic Party even moderates like Pete Buttigieg or pushing a more radical version of the Obamacare Mandate as part of their more moderate a plan. They have it actually swung the more moderate, allow of the more vocal voices in the Democratic Party have gone so far left that they havent offered an alternative to win back farmers and workingclass voters. David, how much do you worry of how does he talk about a centrist and it would be the first time id heard of Amy Klobuchar being a serious top to contender, how much of that is Wishful Thinking . Because the base has moved so far to the left youve got warren, sanders, chris booted judge pretty far to the left on certain issues as well. How much do you worry that somebody wins the purity contest and is moved so far to the left in the primary that they cant move back to the center to make Something Like iowa competitive . Look, i dont like the primaries moving as far left is republicans like to think it is. I think clearly democrats are fired up and ready to vote. He saw that in kentucky and louisiana this year. States the trump won by 30 and 20, we elected democratic governors there. In iowa you had to have seeds flip in 2015. He saw for legislative seats flipped outside of des moines. I think voters are attuned to what candidates are talking about and i think thats what theyre going to vote on. Is not going to be about national issues. David comes to this with the unique perspective having seen both of those races in kentucky and louisiana upfront at the dgi. A lot of your guys running help those victories. Thank you so much, appreciate it. Happy new year to you and yours. Russia, china, and iran starting joint naval exercises today. Why their growing military alliance is raising concern.

This is the video of the moment it happens. You can see the skiers below and then the snow breakdown. Four skiers were able to free themselves, two others were taken to a hospital. Meanwhile every sort and austria saw three avalanches yesterday, two skiers were buried but able to dig out and escape. One thing to keep in mind about the difference between skiing in the United States and in europe come in the u. S. There are fences and warning signs and everything else. On anything they could possibly hurt you. In austria and in switzerland there is one red steak and then the 100foot cliff. Its a different view. Ive skied in west virginia, not a lot of avalanches. Former ski instructor you a are. China, russia, and iran conducting joint military drills.

He has from the pentagon. Good morning, molly. What do all three of those countries have in common . They dont like United States. Those joint military exercises are kicking off in the Running Board city in the gulf of oman outside the persian gulf. Over the summer instead of a tax on commercial oil thinkers and Iranian Forces shot on the 100 million american drone in june. China and russia sending warships to iran become a tacit endorsement of around behavior against the west according to u. S. Officials. A panel hosted by Jennifer Griffin at the reagan library. They put significant emphasis on missile technology. The ranges of their missiles as well as the signature of those missiles can reduce. Hypersonics are of course in play or will be in play increasingly high numbers of ships. They were on a very steep trajectory in terms of capabilities and numbers. We tend to think about troops crossing the line of departure or the first kinetic shots fired. Those shots are already flying. We are already in conflict, however you want to characterize it, with the russians and others. Earlier today u. S. Ally japan announced it would be sending warships to the persian gulf is well to guard those commercial vessels. Think youll come a discussion on this later on in the show.

Com tv fox news alert. We are one minute into trading on wall street and already again, in record territory. All three major indices hit new highs. Nasdaq crossed the 9,000 mark for the first time yesterday. Do the bulls keep running today . Gerri willis is now on the floor of the new york stock exchange. What are traders saying . People down here are continuing to be optimistic. Expectations that we might close higher as well. As you mentioned commits the nasdaq doing so well. Through that 9,000 index level. One of the big stocks that led the way were amazon, apple, tesla. Amazon having its best christmas on record ever. Apples on track for their best year in a decade. Were seeing some really interesting things going on down here. Of course volume, look over my shoulder. Is he everybody and their mother in the floor of the exchange . No theyre not. A lot of people in vacation mode so volumes are lower but there seems to be conviction. You bring up the point about of volume and during the holiday week thats always a question because it can get big swings are not a lot of news or information. How much of these new workers are a form of money . Retail investors coming and embedding things up incrementally versus fundamentally based earnings based rally . What kind of tell you. To me this feels very fundamental. The reality here is typically at the end of the year is people making meals for stock reasons or tax reasons because they won a thick cac tax options off the table. Or you see people just positioning for investors who are looking at their portfolio. Why werent you in apple this year . It moved 80 . This year the increase of stocks it is so acrosstheboard, so many sectors have participated in this rally that youre not seeing a lot of movement. The gains have been 50 points on the dow, 100 points on the dial, those are small incremental levels. What a difference today versus a year ago and Peter Navarro is saying he sees dell 30,000 in 2020. Who knows if it will happen sooner or earlier in 2020. Gerri willis will be in the form will be back to you as the market continues. I think they need to see witnesses. This is the most serious offense a president can be charged with. The fact is there is at least four witnesses, mulvaney, duffy from omb, bolton, who could shed a lot of light on what the president actually did. Congressman steve going listing some of the names he hopes the senate will call as witnesses in an impeachment trial. As Speaker Pelosi holds onto the articles of impeachment, how long can she stall . Congressman Michael Burgess served on the House Rules Committee. We appreciate you joining us on this holiday week. One of will have you with us. Democrats and nancy pelosi have said they are waiting on these articles they are working to ensure there is a fair trial in the senate. There been a lot of theories floated up by republicans and folks from the other side of the aisle that think that nancy pelosi is stalling for all sorts of reasons. I want to get your thoughts on why these articles are being held. My first take is that they are holding the articles because they really had nothing in the first place so they send them over to the senate and it crashes and burns. The president is exonerated, and they did not accomplish what they set out to accomplish, which was to politically harm the president at the beginning of a political year. You think they are stalling to continue digging and they hope they find something more . Look, they had all the tools at their disposal up on the house side. They made it secret not just behind locked doors but with armed guards outside the doors. They still havent made all of the transcripts available to members of congress and according to house rules any Committee Hearing is supposed to be the transcript available to other house members. They have not done so. No one has asserted that these are classified briefings, they were just simply secret hearings because it behooves the secret to have secret hearings. Thats not a constitutional part of the process. We have a brilliant producer on capitol hill, youre most likely familiar with child. He rode this, at the reporters notebook. What is policy holding the articles of impeachment . D. C. Insiders have some theories. He writes this, policy is known how to get under trumps skin. Consider how trump talked about how he wandered around alone at the white house last christmas during the Government Shutdown. The president said just the other that he wanted a speedy trial. But holding onto the articles come up close he could deny the president has most wish. The president thought this would be done by midjanuary, not now. It is policy pulling a Jedi Mind Trick . This is all about making the president wait, lingering this outcome and getting into his head . What you think about that idea . May be. Who knows what they are thinking or if there is any thought processes are actually going on. What are we talking about this morning . Were talking about the president. Any time were talking about President Trump, he is winning. If they think they are playing a mind game or trying to get under trumps skin, okay great. People are sick of this. The words i hear most often are mad, sad, and frustrated by the process thats taken so long in the house or you know what . There are other things we could be doing that we are not doing. Underscored by the lastminute passage of that big trade agreement between the United States, mexico, and canada. I think mexico is our number one trading partner. The fact that agreement was held up for almost one year because they didnt want to give the president a win on anything and they wanted to occupy their time with impeachment. People are frustrated by this. It will be interested to see one a trial actually begins. If it goes into january, february command into the 2020 election. Another thought is the reason this is being held up as it gives time for them to be dissolution in the ranks republicans to shift, break up a little bit as it gets closer to the impeachment trial. And that cues the alaska senator, murkowski, shes known as an independent thinking moderate. She sometimes books the party line and shes done so in the kavanagh nomination as well as health care. She has said that she is disturbed by Mitch Mcconnells discussion of coordination with the white house. That to me, i dont know how big of a chink of in the armor that is for republicans but could it affect the ultimate rules they used Going Forward in the senate when this trial actually gets underway. I honestly dont see how. The rules are going to be decided by the senate. Correct, it is a 51 vote on the rule process is a comes over to the senate. Realistically, we all know how this story ends. There are not twothirds of the senators willing to convict and remove the president. It in an Election Year for crying out loud. As a consequence, we all know how this ends. The extent that they are simply taking up space and taking up valuable time, i guess that must be a game plan but it doesnt seem like a Winning Strategy to me. We have spent a lot of time talking about the city talked about how there are other things americans would like to be talking about. How do you get the focus back on that with this looming out there . Were waiting till january 7th now till everything gets back in order and everything went comes back. How to get the attention back on the things you want to talk about . Does become hard. Its going to be hard anyway because its an Election Year and people tend to play less well together an Election Year and so thats already thats the backdrop for this. There are some things that can be done and should be done. There are some changes to tax policy that really need to be made. There is an Expiration Date on the doubling of the exemption for the personal taxes that is looming just a couple of years down the road. People need to be able to make plans in their own personal finances and all the time the house doesnt do that work and it just delays the inevitable. A lot of people werent paying attention right before the end of the year. There were two very big taxes that got revealed. To obamacare taxes that got repealed by a Democratic House of representatives. How bizarre is that . All big parts of paying for the Affordable Care act were all repealed. I dont know if that crossed anybodys radar screens. A lot of the good and bad as getting buried under this other stuff and as you mentioned come here comes 2020. Its been a fascinating 2019 so well see what happens next year. Thank you so much for joining us today, appreciate it appreciate it. Thank you. You can forget delays at the airport to worry about. Air travelers now have to worry about measles. Health Officials Say people traveling through five major u. S. Airports this month may have been exposed to the highly Infectious Disease just because you have one of the immunity shots, it is not enough. Matt finn live at one of those airports. Ohare international in chicago. Lee linda ohare typically the nations busiest airports. The majority of people we have talked to this morning here say they werent aware or are not that concerned. I wasnt aware of it, i live in atlanta but i am a little bit nervous about it now also we might do some sanitation when we get home. And pro vaccination so i feel like you protect others by doing that. You protect your own family by doing that. Measles is not going to. Measles is not a big deal to me at all. When i was a child had the measles. Its an insignificant disease and i think its stupid that people are making such a big deal out of it. Speak of the five airports that had a person with measles passthrough include chicago ohare run december 12 and again the 17th. Richman international around december 17th. Austin international around december 17th. Denver international on decembes international around december 11th. Medical experts warned that if you were in these airports around these days you mightve been exposed. The symptoms could take days or weeks to surface. People who feel they mightve contracted the disease are encouraged to see their doctor one on one versus sitting in the waiting room because measles is considered highly contagious. The symptoms are identical to the flu until that rash appears. The cdc reports 2019 is seen the highest number of measles cases in 25 years. 1,276 cases this year. Medical experts warned the best protection against measles is to get that vaccination. However there are parents who are opting out of the vaccination which creates pockets where this disease appears. Thats a concern for her to slip medical terms of the percentage of the population that is not vaccinated. Russian backed Syrian Forces trying to retake the last rebel stronghold in the country.

Starting today that three nations will host joint military drills in the gulf of oman. The news raising concerns about the growing alliance that is at odds with the United States and nato. With that we bring in judy miller, Fox News Contributor. Nice to see you as always. The iranians are saying the drills will stabilize security and increasing International Commerce security in the region. We should feel all warm and fuzzy. You may, i certainly dont feel warm or fuzzy about this and i think right now were all focused on whats going on in syria and the president s tweet this morning morning iran, syria, and russia not to do it. That is dont permit the carnage, the killing of innocent civilians. 250 of whom have already died accordingly to syrian human rights groups. Syria, the government is on the move. They are trying to clear out the last portion of people who are rebels. The war in syria has been going on for a long time. We all understand that. The tweet itself is talking about how russia, syria, and iran are on their way to killing thousands of civilians, dont do it. Turkey is working hard to stop this carnage. Given the lack of followthrough on so many of the president s redlines when it comes to hitting back against people who did what he told them not to deal, why should the russians are the syrians are the iranians care about the tweet . They shouldnt, in fact with the withdrawal of u. S. Forces from syria, and the president s intention to withdraw even more from the region and from other reasons is welcome of the United States is no longer in a position to do very much to protect our former allies. This is an empty tweet from maralago. Its an empty warning. Its more a Foreign Policy by twitter, which is exactly what drives Foreign Policy analysts crazy. Bring this full circle. Analysts and experts are crazy its different than what we see in the ground. Conceivably what were seen with his naval exercise is concerning. How much of this new iran, china, Russian Alliance that we are seeing, how much of that is in a direct response to them feeling like they can get away with that in the u. S. Pulling back in terms of projection of force in the persian gulf . I think its a direct reflection of it. That is the problem with a withdrawal of American Power and leverage and influence from an area. If you are not willing to commit your troops, your men, your women, your lifeblood the defendant area. The people who are they are and who will have a more immediate interest and that includes iran, russia, syria, will take advantage of any openings. Thats just whats going to happen. The president was aware of this because in october, after he announced his withdrawal of american troops before he sent some back again, he tweeted if others want to come and fight, let them. It only took a couple of days or a couple of hours for the russians and the syrians to move in on that very offer. Judy miller, appreciate your time.

Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer posing for witnesses and additional documents in the Senate Impeachment trial. Are the democrats fighting a losing battle . Kimberley strassel on that.

The jetliner going down shortly after takeoff with 98 people aboard hitting a concrete wall in a twostory building. The cause of this predawn crash remains unclear. Deputy Prime Minister assessed the planes tail hit the runway twice during takeoff, indicating its struggle to get off the ground. A fox news alert now is President Trump is going after House Speaker nancy pelosi. Yet again. Blasting her plan to hurry up on impeachment and then wait. Welcome to a brandnew hour of americas newsroom. We are in for sandra and bill, they are off this week. The democrats saying the president wanted to rush everything through, calling him a threat to National Security. Now they want to slow everything down. A republican member of the House Rules Committee weighing in at just the last hour. How the story ends. They are not twothirds of the senators willing to convict and remove the president and in an Election Year for crying out loud. As a consequence we all know how this ends. To the extent that they are taking up space and taking up valuable time, i guess that must be a game plan. It doesnt seem like a Winning Strategy. We have Garrett Tenney who has been tackling all of this from washington. The big reason Speaker Pelosi is holding them to the articles of impeachment is to try and leverage them for democrats to have more favorable terms in the sun at trial such as allowing subpoenas to be issued for additional witnesses and documents. Republicans argue that is not going to happen because House Democrats couldve gone to court to try and get those witnesses and documents themselves, but chose not to so they could wrap up impeachment by the end of the year, which is why g. O. P. Lawmakers are criticizing nancy pelosi for refusing to send the articles of impeachment over to the senate. I think shes realize she is committed to terrible act of political malpractice and i love the analogy somebody gave last week, she is currently holding a live grenade. Theyve pulled the pin out and shes got it in her hand and she doesnt know what to do with it. I think she will have to proceed and i think we will have a trial. Speaker pelosi decided to hold up the process after Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says he is not an unbiased juror and would be working glove in hand with the white house and the president s defense. Even House Democrats can see that nancy pelosi will likely have to send over the impeachment articles to the senate eventually. They are hopeful this pause will have an impact on the trial. What i think it does is it tells Mitch Mcconnell and every senator that you do have an extraordinary obligation now as the sole judge and jurors of impeachment as we have sent them over to them. And please get your act together and shows the rules of the road and then the articles will be coming to you. We are told negotiations are continuing over the holiday reset so we will likely see where things stand in about a week and a half when congress is back in session. Until then expect to see a lot more of this back and forth of course filled with holiday cheer. A week and half, we will take it. Now are starting to think will this be february, march, who knows. Holiday cheer perhaps not a lot of goodwill to the other side. Chuck schumer is keeping up the pressure on the terms of an impeachment trial in the senate. Renewing his demands for additional documents and witnesses to be included in the proceedings. Senate majority leader calling the president out saying if he did nothing wrong he should release the emails and let witnesses testify under oath. Kyle lewis is a former u. S. Attorney who served with william barr, the doj under george w. Bush administration be nice to see you sir, we should appreciate it. This feels like the good old if you didnt do it in your evanescence he might as well give up all your rights argument. Its interesting. I would put it back to senator schumer. Do you think it is fair to shift the burden to the accused . A look, i know this is political and not a criminal trial but i prosecuted a lot of cases. Could you imagine if i charlie dear and said hey, why dont you bring the evidence in. Why dont you bring the witnesses. Why do you bring the documents and you can prove your innocence. I dont think that is fair and i dont think its fundamentally what america is about. You made a great point about whether this is a political process or a criminal process in which rules of the road apply. Kimberley strassel writing more on the lines of it being a political and court of Public Opinion process. How long will this charade to go on . As long as democrats can get away with it given their impeachment regularities to date its not hard to imagine mrs. Pelosi sitting on her impeachment articles through next falls election campaign. That would deny mr. Trump the ability to say he had been acquitted, even if it is insured a constant stream of negative impeachment coverage. The question to you is does nancy pelosi sort of have the president on this . There is no legal way for him or Mitch Mcconnell to force a trial, right . You ask a great question. I dont think there is a legal way to force senator to try the case. However, i think the president ought to take an aggressive approach here. If they dont move forward, file some motion to dismiss. Forgive me real quickly come ive never known this president not to be aggressive. I think reasonable people on both sides can agree on that point. Your points an interesting one, where do you file this . Do you file with the Supreme Court . Theyre going to order another branch of government to do something you try to follow it with the senate . Im unsure how that would work. I would file it both with the sun and with the United States Supreme Court. We know that if the matter did go to trial, the chief justice would be presiding per the constitution. I would argue that he is the judge in the matter has jurisdiction and again, if i was a federal prosecutor have the investigating grand jury hold the indictment and i didnt return to the judge like im supposed to come i would go in front of the defense and go in front of the court and say dismiss this. There is precedent from a criminal side versus a political side. There is now debate whether the president has been impeached as the articles havent been transferred over. Now we have jonathan turley, who was on the other side of this in the house Judiciary Committee, he wrote i testified against trumps impeachment but lets not pretend it didnt happen. Constitutional reality doesnt rust on the house sending the articles over to the senate. Congressional democrats current posture may be too cute by half and is perhaps politically illadvised, but any arctic meant that they have entered a limbo by stalling the articles to the senate falls flat. The framers said a twothirds standard because they knew there would be contest action. If im reading between the lines right he saying that your idea of trying to file a motion to dismiss doesnt really hold a lot of water. I agree with the professor that the impeachment proceeding, the impeachment document is valid, though it has not been delivered to the senate to proceed forward with a trial. I agree with that part. I sort of disagree with those who think they are just trying to posture to get some additional witness or an additional document. Frankly i think again, adam schiff was a former prosecutor. You disagree thats what democrats are trying to do or you dont think the tactic is the right thing or the way the framers envisioned it . Good question, i think the democrats are looking for additional evidence. They know, this document in this charge is dead on arrival when it gets to the senate. What do you do is a federal prosecutor . You continue to gather evidence and you wait for the president s tax returns. You look for don mcganns testimony if and when it becomes available. You heard about this possible push by the committees to have don mcgann testify considerably if executive privilege was overruled by the courts that would have the opportunity for Mick Mulvaney and john bolton to testify. It would be part of either of those cases. Along with Something Like that take to work its way through the courts . Thats where the problem comes in for the democrats. Maybe this is part of their strategy. As he reported just a moment ago, its going to take a while. You can ask that it be expedited but even on a fast track its going to take this summer. Maybe thats what the strategy is, to leave this thing hanging out there. That puts us through the convention. Mr. Lewis, appreciate your service to the country. Thank you. Good to see you. A 14yearold suspect in the stabbing death of a Barnard College freshmen, 18yearold tessa majors, finally taken into custody after a twoweek manhunt manhunt and quickly released. Miller is here with this update. More than two weeks after Barnard College freshman tessa majors was stabbed to death, a 14yearold who wielded the knife has been found.

Please produce photos of the 14yearold on social media after he failed to keep an appointment with investigators and disappeared. Fox news is not a identifying because of age. For many new yorkers come of the murder of tessa majors is reminiscent of the citys violent pass after racial divisions. Now the tragedy of the young woman allegedly killed by black teens is being exploited by a hate group. Barnard College Columbia university is wearing about a phone messages plaguing the canvas. Weve been aware that robocall messages from a White Supremacist Groups were received on manys faculty land lines. The content of this message related thefts majors recent data are important and viciously racist. The school says it has now notified the nypd and is trying to block the calls. Important to speak up quickly on things like that. David lee miller thank you for the update. Now there is another big story involving a Prominent University here in new york city, which is you just heard is affiliating with barnard. Columbia university now facing the accusation of antisemitic discrimination. This abutting President Trumps executive order on fighting discrimination on College Campuses to the test for the first time. Rick leventhal following this. Columbia university established 265 years ago as one of the oldest and most respected institutions of Higher Learning in the nation. One of the most expensive costing roughly more than 74,000 a year. Now the Ivy League School is also the first to be targeted for antisemitism under a new executive order from President Trump. And its really an american student says he notices campuses a hostile environment for jewish students but has done nothing to fix it. A new york think they has followed a federal complaint of behalf of the student with the department of education. The complaint accuses one professor of pointing and under grad jumping card and in class and in think ill believe it think he is saying, he has masada. Another professor seen the killing of citizens is justified by colonialism. The complaint alleges the university has allowed students and faculty to use the israelipalestinian conflict to discriminate against jewish students. Targeting them with events including israel apartheid week held by propalestinian groups. And at law fair product project say they have weeks variance explicit discrimination. It knows about the hostile environment but has done nothing to remediate it. The law school tells us this morning they have no comment regarding this complaint. We saw the aclu come out against President Trump when he signed this executive order. Well see if they defied columbia as well. Taking a deep dive and Elizabeth Warrens policy proposals for everything from massive made taxes to bigticket Government Programs and strict regulations as well. Is this what the democrats want . Meanwhile the economy is booming at a President Trump, but is he getting credit from the voters .

We are learning new information about the investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Report of the fbi is now investigating chris lane maxwell, the british socialite who slunk up in accused of serving as his madam. Back in August Epstein died by parents whose died. The economy is firing on all cylinders with stocks at record highs, unemployment at historic lows, millions of new jobs, but it doesnt seem to be helping President Trumps approval rating. Why isnt he getting credit with voters for this good strong Economic News . With me now its michael mcadams, National Press secretary for the National Congressional committee and Jason Nichols, Democratic Political analyst. Jason, lets kick off with you. Is this about democrats not wanting to give the president credit . We are heading into an Election Year. I dont think thats it. First of all we have to remember that president obama added 1. 5 million more jobs than President Trump in his final three years. Also people arent necessarily feeling the Strong Economy. Yes wall street has been really strong, but 55 of americans have stocks, thats mean for the 5 percent dont. Only 45 of africanamericans actually own stocks. There are not necessarily feeling that. There is wages have been stagnant, they are dealing with things like medical debt and education debt and they want people who are going to address that. President trump seems to be more focused on wall street that on main street. Thats one of the reasons why hes not getting the credit that in some ways he does deserve. You raise some interesting points and bringing in michael, hes talking about people if youre not feeling the great economy that maybe you dont give the president much credit for that if youre one of those folks that its yet to join the wage growth that weve been seeing. I think the economy is booming jason. Unfortunately today it came at the lowest wage earners ive seen the biggest wage increase over the last year. That just goes with the lowest unemployment in history. Weve seen the stock market continued to set record highs and everything for President Trump is pointing to a booming economy. Always gotten from democrats as a thank you is an effort to impeach him. Thats why President Trump is going to be reelected on the back of this booming economy. Professor alexander has a theory about the partisanship involved. Heres a quote from his bees, republicans and democrats today evaluate the economy more favorably when their Party Controls the white house. This fact was clearly on display after trump selection went though the facts remain the same, republicans immediately began to view the economy more positively while democrats suddenly found fault with it. In gallup polling the percentage of republicans who so the economy was Getting Better increased from 15 . This fell from 62 to 72 . Is there partisanship at play . I think that definitely has a point because republicans certainly didnt recognize that we made a huge jump from 2010 to 2016. Unemployment was dropping, unemployment was dropping with certain demographics with africanamericans, latinos. We were headed in the right direction and they didnt want to give credit. Now democrats may be following suit. There is some partisanship but i also think that there is something the fact that people are not necessarily feeling the Strong Economy. Its not spreading to every part of the community a part of our country. Especially since the tax breaks benefited the very wealthy more so than the poor. You said something about rising wages. Real wages, not nominal wages, which are adjusted for inflation, have actually dropped 1. 3 . You brought this up so were going to shift gears and head over to 2020. Were talking about wealth taxes and all sorts of ideas. We can turn to Elizabeth Warren as one of the candidates was laid out a vast number of plans. Thats kind of part of her brand and she has been has been unapologetic but all of her ideas from the economy. Every thing from the wealth docs medicare for all, the Corporate Tax rate, free college for a university, lowering the cost and free health care, that sort of thing. Michael, your thoughts and Elizabeth Warren Committee Overall identity and if this is the way democrats should be going in 2020 . Elizabeth warrens planned attacks tax everyone and everything aches what the election is going to be about. Its a choice between freedom and socialism. American voters dont want the government to kick them off their Health Insurance and decide what doctor they can see. They dont want the government to abolish hamburgers and the oil and gas industry. They want to decide whats best for them. Democrats consistently think they know its best and they want to settle taxpayers with the bill. Thats whats going to drive donald trump to the election by the Senate Republicans on why House Republicans are going to flip back the majority. Jason this is a big question republicans are going to have to answer in 2020. Elizabeth warren has a plan, own mind. In essence they lay this long list. Your thoughts because we had eight to 2020. Of the democrats going to have to clearly say is this direction theyre going to want to go or go on perhaps one of the more modern candidates that are out in the field or in a question mark i think what we need our big ideas and bold ideas. Thats what captured the white house for republicans. It was the guy who said were going to build a wall that is 100 feet high and 30 feet deep and they wont be able to build tunnels through it. All this kind of stuff that didnt come through. He got them excited, he had a big bold plans and i think thats what the Democratic Party needed. Once we capture the white house we can start to work through trying to make something happen. You dont capture the imagination of your electorate without having bold plans. Thats what Elizabeth Warren and a Bernie Sanders bring to the table. Michael, a final word from you . The voters want nothing to do with big bold plans to tax them into oblivion and have the government make basic life choices for them. Thats the difference between democrats and republicans heading into 2020. Michael mcadams and Jason Nichols think about so much. We appreciate you joining out our work week. Were getting a new snapshot of the mexico Asylum Program and how it is working out of the new year. Grand rates are far below the historical average. Work and to dig into those numbers next. Plus a Health Product making a bold prediction about the consequences of impeachment. Could the impeachment flip the house . This is backfiring on the democrats in the thick nancy pelosi let this get way out in front of her peers working to get a lot of the seats back and take back the house in 2020. Unlike most other cold medicines, zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. I am a zifan for zicam oral or nasal. Well, heres to first dates you look amazing. And you look amazingly comfortable.

Thats because im trained to report any changes in behavior, no matter how small, so tom could have peace of mind. Well be right there. We have to go. Hey, tom. You should try right at home. Theyre great for us. The right care. Right at home. Calling a bold prediction from capitol hill. Guy reschenthaler says that impeachment will backfire on the democrats and is predicting the g. O. P. Is going to take back the house in 2020. Take a listen. Let nancy pelosi hold the articles of impeachment because the longer this drags outcome of the more swing voters and independents are coming to republican in droves. I know some people think its a bold statement but i really do think were going to take back the house in 2020 and i think that President Trump is going to win in 2020 because the polls are showing that independents are tired of impeachment. They think its a shame and they know what the political hit job. Ron wright is a member of the House Foreign Affairs committee joining us now. Appreciate it. Really . Went back the house . Absolutely. I think eye is right. Certainly the democrats are doing everything they can to help us. Not just with impeachment, but so Many Americans now know just how radical some of the democrats have become and where they want to take this country and thats not where the American People want to go. People on both sides of the aisle that nancy pelosi is one of the portrait of political operators in washington, d. C. Does she just have this all wrong . The way youre talking its like democrats are voluntarily committing political suicide. They dont seem to think that they are. I think to a great extent shes been forced into this by the more radical elements of her party and the liberal base of her party. I dont think if you look at comments earlier in the year where she said it would have to be bipartisan. Of course this was not. What happened later in the year as you see two different perspectives of nancy pelosi. Are you worried there is a little bit of hubris and this of just continuing to say that somebody who is a skilled and has the track record that she does, especially when it came to last year with a Government Shutdown and getting to buzz the president drove on that, that maybe we as republicans arent seeing the whole Playing Field . I think we probably arent but if you look at, you brought up the shutdown. Thats one of two bookends. It wasnt just totally against trump. It backfired on her to the extent that people are going to remember we started this term in congress with a partial Government Shutdown and ended it with impeaching the president. In between those two bookends was a political circus. The democrats have very little to show for it. They have usmca to show for it. That was the final act and that is a win for trump. He certainly is trying to do that. This is what Kimberley Strassel had to stay in the wall street journal about this issue. Republicans dismissed speaker Nancy Pelosis refusal to transmit the articles of impeachment is a weak stunned. They do so at the peril about the constitution and President Trump, Mitch Mcconnell may be a master tactician, but mrs. Pelosi is no slouch. What worries you about the republican tactic in this . How does this go wrong for republicans . I read that piece and i agree with it. This is much more than bluster with her. The constitution is clear, the house cannot dictate process for the sun and the senate cannot dictate a house process. What they are trying to do, she and schumer are trying to set the stage to convince the American People once there is a trial that it was illegitimate in the verdict, which we all know is going to be exoneration, its also a legitimate. Thats why shes doing this and shes going to hold up those articles as long as she deems it necessary or beneficial to democrats and it hurts trump. Do you worry that it simply will stop any and all progress in the house until this gets resolved . I think its going to be very difficult to see any bipartisan work in the house. There are people on both sides of the aisle who want to work with others to get things done and solve problems here in the country. We cant because of the petty politics weve seen in the last year and will now continue into the new year. Its funny you say that because you had impeachment on one day and you would at usmca, which was a bipartisan agreement, a lot of democrats voted for it. A couple of days later and somewhere in the middle of that you guys agreed to spend a whole lot more our money then we got. I voted against that by the way. A lot of us did. Look, it doesnt change the reality of the fact that the democrats have poisoned the well in the house and have made it very difficult for people on both sides to Work Together to really solve the problems. Now were going into an Election Year, which will make it even worse. I will give you this. Where is it that republicans, if nancy pelosi thinks she has something here and has the tiger by the tail, is there anything that republicans can do other than what youre doing which is coming on tv and talking about it . To move this process along. Our the rest of the country just in limbo while you all play politics in washington . I think what should happen in the senate, and thats where the answer ultimately is going to live, as they should go ahead and have the trial whether she passes those articles on or not. Going out ahead and hold the trial and lets get this over wet so we can get to work for the American People. Interesting. Kyle lewis former u. S. Attorney had a similar proposal of the president coming in and trying to file something or ask the senate to dismiss the charges its never been tried before but you seem to be on board with it. We appreciate your time and enjoy the rest of the breakin and the weather in texas and we will see you back in washington. Happy new year. And to you. Its been almost a year since washington sent asylumseekers back to mexico. So far less than 1 have been granted asylum through this controversial program. We have we have william la jeunesse joining us from the west coast barrel with more in the story. From the president s point of view the remaining mexico plan is working 24,000 migrants claiming asylum at the border. Judges allowed just over 100 to stay in the u. S. , thats less than 1 compared to 20 in previous years according to the Syracuse University study. Another 32,000 wade in mexico waiting for judges to hear their case. The only place i want to be is the United States. I never thought i would be returned here to horrendous. Im waiting to go to the United States with my baby to get the best life for my son. Depending on your politics, those numbers felt success or failure. The administration credits the program was cutting illegal immigration for getting rid of the incentives.

China, iran, and roche are kicking off four days of joint war games in the indian ocean. As iran looks to improve military ties with beijing and moscow. Thank you for joining us on this topic. How concerned should the United States be about this effort made between these three countries . Certainly not our allies. These developments are important because they allow us in the public to understand what the situation is. Often we have friends and allies in the region and beyond who are putting pressure on us to do more on iran, more in iraq. The reality is that this joint exercise between russia, china, and around, it is a message that these two powers are telling the United States and our allies that were not going to let her run down if you do anything against it. The calculation its now for the United States to take into consideration there were not just dealing with iran, but also with a larger alliance. In our current news cycles we hear a lot about iran and russia working together when it comes to syria and i want to touch on the point in the moment but first just weaving china back into this whole discussion. Regarding this, the Chinese Defense Ministry Said this about these naval drills, that it would Deepen Exchange and cooperation between the navies of the three countries. Of course this is a very important area for getting oil tankers from place to place from iran. What does chinas involvement mean for all of this . China and russia made this statement and is telling us that were not going to allow you to disease and control this area and isolate iran. This is very serious. That statement is very serious. It could be that they are willing, china and russia, to send some of their fleets or ships into that area which would complicate things. This reminds me of something else. Our problem with korea is very peril. We think we are only dealing with korea. Its much more of an International Coalition business that were dealing with. Shifting to syria we know that russia and the assad regime are working together at this point in time its created a humanitarian crisis. There been renewed air strikes in the aim is to get this northern part of syria that is still considered a rebel stronghold for the assad regime to regain this ground. The president has issued a warning it. President trump to eating less. Russia, syria, iran are on their way to killing thousands of innocent civilians in the province. Turkey is working hard to stop the carnage. So how hard it is turkey working and does this warning from the president have peace right now . Thats the whole question. The president is really messaging president derrida one take back that area and put it back under the assad regime. It will be hundreds of thousands if not millions of civilians who willfully. Though fleenor towards torquay. They could go to europe. Its a very serious matter. Unfortunately the president is now very interested in intervening in libya. Thats why this is a reminder by President Trump to take care of that neighborhood. You brought up libya and that is a lot of challenges there as well. Where does that stand right now. In libya you have a syrian war. On one any of the Libya National army but its not recognized by the government in tripoli which is backed by turkey. As long as the factions were internal we could have solved politically but now with this warning from president erdogan that he may send his air force to libya, that complicates things because youve creased it would oppose this, italy and france. The admit monitoring is destabilized and we need the u. S. To be very strong and trying to solve the problem. In this latest with the president seems to be saying turkey is working hard to stop the carnage and seems to be leaving a lot on turkey in that respect. And what can we depend on turkey . Theres been a back and with it. As to expectations and if theyre going to meet any of the u. S. Expectations on the ground. We had the test and Northeast Area and we saw the president erdogan government did not listen to the calls for ceasefire by the United States and then kind of impose their conditions on the ceasefire. Now really i think President Trumps right to issue that warning because after that we have not it gauged in northwestern syria except having russia, iran. Think you for your insight. A lot of problems in the region and fascinating to get your insight and the ease war games. Thank you. We all know that exercise is important but a new study is showing how just even moderate activity could help you a lot. Were going to tell you what walking 20 minutes a day could do for your health. My Psoriatic Arthritis pain . I had enough its not getting in my way. Joint pain, swelling, tenderness. Much better. My psoriasis, clearer. Cosentyx works on all of this. Four years and counting.

I just look and feel better. I got real relief with cosentyx. Watch me feel real relief. Ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx. Evidently you dont need an hour long run to see significant benefits of working out. A new study says just a brisk 20 minute walk could reduce the risk of seven types of cancer. For that we bring in Fox News Contributor dr. Nicole saphier. Should couch potatoes rejoice now . Absolutely not. I get so very worried when i see headlines like this. We do know the recommendation is two and half hours a week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise. For those that dont like to hit the gym hard moderate exercise can be vacuuming, a brisk walk. Mowing the lawn. For me i have a lab and three kids so vacuuming is a sport in my house. Whats really important in the study is its different we know exercise decreases your risk of cancer among other conditions. Just the exercise or is it losing the weight . Overall living healthier decreases your risk for a lot of things. The study looks at how much exercise and what is the Risk Reduction for certain cancers. Cancers have different biological processes. With exercise you can see that not only do you see decreased fat cells, the exercise itself increases your metabolism, which has more healthy sell to you later turn over. The study showed that you decrease your risk and breath liver, amongst other ones. The biggest was liver cancer. You can decrease your risk up to 37 . Just by having moderate exercise. What do i say to the members of my family who shall remain nameless but i think are watching who will say when i tell them to go work out will say hey i heard a near show that all i need to do is work out 20 minutes a day and a walk and ill be fine. Everything in moderation but however let me tell you why you need to exercise. Exercise not only decreases risk of cancer, heart disease, cholesterol, it brings an overall sense of wellness. You want to get your heart rate up. Its good for your Mental Health and physical health. If youre doing Something Like being on your screen or something unhealthy, its good to decrease all those unhealthy behaviors anyway and why not substitute it with exercise . Heres where we pivoted the new years resolution. For those who say i hear it, im going to now walk 20 minutes a day is my new years resolution. Is that the way to begin . Any new use resolution the best kind is when you can stick with. People have high hopes for the new years and they are drastic. Most of the time they are done with it by the end of january. Find something thats realistic for your life thats going to fit into your lifestyle. Walking 20 minutes a day is absolutely reasonable and realistic. I have a busy day job but i do twice a day, i walk around the entire building. It takes me 8 minutes because im walking fast and the two times a loan is about 1. 2 miles. That right there is im getting close to my exercise. Plus my vacuuming and running around with children. I dont like fad diets come i dont like anything really harsh. I want something youre going to be able to do longterm. At the same time theres a lot of folks who do need to make drastic changes. If you do it incrementally do you ever get there . You will get there. Any decrease is good for you. Any decrease in your weight. You may need to lose 100 pounds but if you lose 10 pounds, you are decreasing your risk of everything. It doesnt have to be drastic. Do what works for your life and make some positive changes. Dad, you heard it here first, we are walking on the golf course from now on. I like that, that is great.

Following the story as we continue. A lot of families will be looking for answers. Greg palkot thank you. Now to the impeachment standoff is President Trump again pans nancy pelosi for holding back articles of impeachment from the senate. Democrats are demanding witnesses and documents in order to have what they say is a fair trial. Republicans suggest the speaker is playing politics and say americans are sick of it. She lost control and power and holding on to power. She has probably approaching a record right now for the most people who switched from democrat to republican since shes been speaker. She did it the last time i will see if she did it again this time. People are fed up with this impeachment fixation where everything is about a witch hunt to go after donald trump instead of working for the hardworking families of this country. Echoing some of the sounds of the president , rich edson is live in west palm beach, florida, where the president is spending the holidays. High, leland, President Trump spent the holidays very critical of nancy pelosi. Now were hearing from the house bigger herself. Has to just tweeted the facts are clear and every witness told the same story. This by the president s attempt to cover up, President Trump abused his power for his own personal gain, defend our democracy. President trump said the speaker should be more concerned with homelessness in california. Hes tweeting crazy nancy should focus on that in her very own district. Helping her incompetent governor with a big homeless problem. Speaker pelosi is withholding the impeachment articles from the senate, democrats are trying to for Senate Republican to hold the impeachment trial with testimony from former officials. They are dismissing the entire process. Are talking about the president. Any time were talking about President Trump come he is winning. If they think theyre playing a mind game or trying to get under trumps skin, okay great, but people are sick of this. Democrats of the white house is stonewalling their investigation and its Administration Officials did nothing wrong they should have no problem testifying and producing internal documents about the decision to withhold aid from ukraine. They are also criticizing Mitch Mcconnell, who admits he is coordinating with the white house. He will not be impartial. He will not abide by his oath of office and he will be in full coordination with the white house. I think the speaker made a very wise move not to hand over the articles of impeachment for a false sham. The president also contends that impeachment is a hindrance on his job and is becoming a distraction dealing with foreign leaders. Rich edson down in west palm beach, florida. Back to you of the president has anything to say that i. A lot to watch on this as it goes forward let us bring in the staff writer for the federalist. Thanks for coming up to new york for us. Kicking things off we are watching this unfold, the back and forth between republicans and democrats and everyones trying to get to the bottom of whats going on here but the democrats claim this is all about fairness and the potential senate trial and they wont give the articles until they are shirts and fairness. I think Nancy Pelosis latest move is highly nonsensical and i think that it really shows how overblown the democrats believe Mitch Mcconnells control over the framework of the proceedings really is. We already have standing rules in place for how impeachment should go down. Chief Justice Roberts will be overseeing the trial and he himself wants to keep up the appearance that he is some partial. I think he will do so. I think the reaction in particular has been highly overblown on both sides. In the last hour we had kyle lewis on and hes essentially saying that republicans should be playing hardball. Take a look. I dont think there is a legal way to force senator to try the case. However, i think the president ought to take an aggressive approach here. If they dont move forward file some sort of motion to dismiss. If the articles dont move, what do you think the republican should do . I think Going Forward with a full and fair impeachment trial was the best way to go when that is really what Mitch Mcconnell has put forth. Hes put forth the framework that we use for the clinton impeachment. It worked and i think it assigned some legitimacy to the process. What i am concerned about is if we dont keep it legitimate they are going to be Major Concerns Going Forward about how the democrats are going to respond. There is a lot of meat to the accusation that the democrats have made this a botched circus. What holds the republicans to keeping a measured course . I think we could stand to seize the Higher Ground here and make this a full and fair process and at the same time, not lead Chuck Schumer push mcconnell around. There are a lot of theories about why pelosi has not yet this on the articles. Among the theory is she is stalling for time, or that there could be a break in the ranks among republicans and now we senator Lisa Murkowski of alaska being fairly critical of mcconnell and how he has handled thing so far. She says disturbed by the coordination of Senate Majority leader is acknowledged is happening with white house counsel. Democrats have seized on this. Take a look. My hope is that some of my republican colleagues will have the same misgivings that senator murkowski expressed. She is seriously concerned when you hear your majority leaders say that hes going to work handinhand with the white house. Facts dont matter and i think you will see the senator from alexander and Susan Collins and some others come around to want fairness in the process. Come around. Is that what democrats are hoping for . Is that part of the stall tactic . I think they are likely hoping for that but at the same time we have to remember who senator murkowski it is. She voted against confirming Supreme Court Justice Brett kavanaugh. She also voted in favor of several parts of the aca. This is a senator that enjoys her independence streak. In the same token that interview in particular where she used of the verb disturbed is also the same interview where she offered really heightened criticism of the democrats handling of the articles of impeachment. I think that is the part that hasnt been reported by the media as much. She did offer heavyhanded criticism of how the democrats of rush this process in general and she offered critiques of procedure elements that she took issue with as well. I think there seems to be a little bit of cherry picking and i do think the democrats and the left in particular are searching for any sign that there might be a connection. Ariel davidson, thank you so much. Appreciate you for having me. Not to this. Travelers at five major u. S. Airports mightve been exposed to the measles. Health officials said happened this month in chicago, denver, and austin, texas. Evidently even more travelers couldve been exposed to this highly Infectious Disease. Matt finn is live at ohare this morning. High matt. The people of up to be most concerned are those that were here at ohare or any of the other airports nationwide at the same time as the person with measles passed through that airport. They are the ones who likely couldve contracted it. Otherwise travelers weve talked to this morning said they arent aware of the measles situation. They have the vaccine and theyre not too worried. My exhusband had it. Very ill and had to be hospitalized as a result. Before we got hyped up about it, people used to have this disease all the time and it gave you lifetime immunity and you had no issues with it. Weve had the disease so its unlikely that we would get it again. Flu shot unvaccinated, we are good. No measles on me. Because a five airports that had a person with measles pass through include chicago ohare for on december 12th and again on december 17th. Richmond international around december 17th. Austin international around december 17th. Denver around december 11th and los angeles international. Medical experts warned that if you are in these airports rung those dates you mightve been exposed. The symptoms could take days or weeks to appear and are typically flulike until that rash appears. People who feel they mightve contracted the disease are encouraged to see their doctor one on one versus sitting in a waiting room work clinic because the disease is so contagious that the cdc reports 2019 the scene the highest number of measles cases and 25 years. 1,276 cases this year. Medical experts also say the best line of defense is getting that vaccination. As we know there are people and parents who are opting out of the vaccination, which creates pockets where this disease can appear. Doctors say when you dont get vaccinated you put yourself and others in danger. With 2020 almost upon us democrats are briefing for a critical series of primaries and caucuses.

President not in yahoo was indicted on bribery charges but could escape prosecution. Saudi arabia may be turning over the new diplomatic leaf. No holding direct talks with regional enemies. New york times report the saudis are concerned they can no longer rely in American Protection following attacks. Its oil facilities. Here to talk about it, david rew voice Senior Vice President of the securities studies group. Do you think the saudis have a region a reasonable gripe with the u. S. And fear that we are not going to protect them . I dont think so. I think this is mostly a situation come i think these are the saudis doing what they perceive to be in their best interest, which is to try to get the focus away from these conflicts and put it on some of the reforms theyve been engaging in, which have been really good and the media just doesnt want to cover it. For example last week they banned marriages for women under 18. They also killed jamaal shook khashoggi so i dont know if are going to go through a saudi victory to her. Sure they did. The people that did were brought to justice. You think everybody wh who is involved and that was brought to justice . Come on. I dont know. He is one man. He is not the geopolitical reality in the middle east. You and you say and bss one man and not the geopolitical reality, what do you mean . Now im talking bout to go. On the one envy of the death of one man, which is terrible. But just last week the Iranian Interior Ministry admitted to killing thousands of its own people in protest. The real numbers are higher. All of this should be in perspective. It seems like a non sequitur. Reasonable people can agree that iran is a tyrannical and a radical theocracy thats trying to get Nuclear Weapons and also say that if you are a u. S. Ally you have to live up to Certain International norms. The secular between the two i dont understand. Lets get to the quote from the New York Times piece. Analysts say its a sobering realization that a decadesold cornerstone of american policy in the middle east. They understand the United States would defend the Saudi Oil Industry from foreign attacks can no longer be taken for granted. You agree with that . Im not sure that thats the case. The saudis didnt ask for any military response from the United States. A lot of people thought they would but they did not. Eventually what we need to get do is we need to get to a strengthening of a pro America Coalition in the middle east. Against iran. That would be israel, that would be the uae command that would be saudi arabia. In my talks with some senior members of some of the governments that you just mentioned, arab governments that you mentioned on some that you did not, they view President Trumps pulling out of syria and abandoning the kurds as a watershed moment. A number of them said that it was worse than president obamas headline when it came to Syrian Chemical Weapons and said they now feel like they are on their own. Does that jive with some of the people you talk to . Not really to be honest. There is recognition in the region that america is not going to be there forever. The American People dont want to be in that region for ever and the way to deal with it so as to not create a calamity for us, is to empower our allies who are they are. These are the countries are not going to be there forever, how can these governments count on us . They can count on this with rhetorical support. They can count on us with arms. They can count on us with trying to keep their enemies and hours in check in different ways, covert and overt aroun around te world. Getting to that point in terms of keeping their enemies in check, he saw the tweet from President Trump talking about russia and syria, and iran and their attacks using Regime Forces and he married terry in catastrophe thats happening up there. The president says dont do it but is not put any teeth behind that, why should russia and syria and iran care . Thats a good question. They should care because we are still the United States and we are still the most powerful economic and military power in the world. If are not willing to use that to protect our allies are people who are about to be slaughtered, either militarily or economically, why shouldnt they go about doing whats in their own best interest . This is always a calculation that really any country will have. Is the United States prepared to intervene in every single case . There is no easy answer here. We have to balance priorities and prudence. Having spent four years in the middle east i would agree with you there. There are no easy answers, only a number of difficult problems. I appreciate your time sir, thank you.

Tessa majors murder just up College Campus is a reminder for many new yorkers of the citys past troubled times. Making the tragedy even more painful is a hate group that is trying to inflame the community. Majors was white, her alleged attackers were black teens. Columbia colleges warning about phone messages that are plaguing the campus.

Officials have not released further details about the message come of the school says its not trying to block the calls and does notify nypd. Meanwhile the 13yearold charged as a juvenile and accordance with majors death is scheduled for a Court Appearance next week. Thank you for following this for us david lee miller, appreciate it. We are less than a week away from a president ial Election Year. Democrats are preparing for what could be a bruising primary fight ahead of the general election. Five weeks until iowa real clear politics as joe biden is the clear frontrunner but in a crowded field at 30 . For that would bring and reheat because some and fellow of the american principles project and richard fowler, radio talk show host on Fox News Contributor. Nice to see you both. Richard lets start with you on this. We have been talking about if joe biden will implode. Will he implode, what will make him implode and yet he is still at the top. Is there any reason to begin to think that he is going to be the nominee . I think theres a reason to think that based on pools today and based on poles last month and based on polls last couple of months he would say joe biden is the frontrunner of this campaign. He is a front runner of this race. If you talk to voters across the country you talk to voters over the Kitchen Table they would tell you they are looking at joe biden very seriously and theyre saying he is one of the few candidates that could take on donald trump in a headtohead race. It doesnt take away from Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren because the primary season has not started yet it will go likely until maybe may. That joe biden is running a Strong Campaign and voters are taking a very seriously. You bring up Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, two of the voters farthest to the left. Look at this which is from the wall street journals and they did a ways that all the way Elizabeth Warren wants to remake the United States and further insert the federal government into all of our lives and then they said this about her plan, all of this adds up to such an expansion of government that the temptation is to dismiss it as fans ago. Ms. Warren is a shrewd and disciplined politician who wasnt supporting these ideas on islet theological win. She believes they have enough Political Support to help her win the democratic nomination and then the white house begins a vulnerable President Trump. Thats the wall street Journal Editorial Board today. The question is this, how do republicans try and hang or do they try and hang that list of proposals grown joe biden if he is the nominee . Thats an interesting point. Thats one of the things democrats are concerned about a lot of the middleoftheroad democrats are concerned about having to own these multitrillion dollar commitments that are being made during the primary size and the democratic debate. The idea of a bloodied primary as somewhat overstating the case aat the moment especially from what we have seen in the democratic debate so far. Theyve been more pillow fights than anything else. The big clashes in the republican debates in 2015 and 16 in the democratic debates havent really shown that. I i think the editorial is good on this it shows exactly what the spending commitments at up to. This is set a time when americans are not feeling that there is an economic emergency, that there doesnt need to be a revolution economically in their lives. You bring up an important question in terms of whether people are looking for a change from President Trump or not. This is what brought stephen sat in the not bad at the New York Times, what will that they could beat donald trump is not what the Progressive Left is talking about. In the view of middleoftheroad america, the president may be bad but is nowhere near as bad as his critics say. In that same while his critics mark be partly right about him, they are less right than they believe. In the contest between the unapologetic jerk in the war in houston the selfstyled saints seeking to unseat him, the jerk might just win. Do you worry that a bloodied primary among democrats not coalescing around somebody early allows brad stevens prophecy to become true . And not necessarily because i think this is about the issue. We are because this right is there is an economic emergency but there is a Prescription Drug emergency. There is Early Childhood emergency happening all across this country. As people who are retired who are now going back to work because they can afford the price of their insulin. There are folks who can afford Early Childhood education to a parent has to stay at home. There are far too Many Americans who are working two jobs or three jobs to make ends meet because there is a good economy but one job isnt paying enough. Thats what democrats out to run on. Thats an interesting point. Well get raheem to answer that because dow is up, at record levels. S p 500 again if they closed today will close once again at a record level. Thats something that President Trump is running on. There is a reason the democrats keep talking about the economy, thats because there are a lot of americans that feel left behind and they feel like theyre going to have to do with more with less and the list goes on. What does President Trump have to do this time around to remove the promise that is going to look out for them . This will be an economic election as so many have been and he has to keep the economy on point. I think hes been doing that. Latest jobs number is an understanding of that. It can also see the economy has at full employment and that doesnt mean low employment numbers, it means wages are rising and wages are rising in america. When President Trump says the World Leaders go to the oval office and ask him how we can mimic at what hes done with the economy thats absolutely true. All around europe people are looking at this. This is part of the problem come when you talk about full employment and dont talk about the folks cant afford insolent, this is how republicans lose this election. Appreciate both of you guys, good to see you. Well talk to you soon. From forge pirates the brawling bunnies and some heart pounding acts of heroism as well. Cameras capture the best and worst of humanity. In 2019 we have Jonathan Hunt with a look back at some of those moments. Pirates taking on neighborhoods instead of the high seas this year. Porch pirates caught stealing everything from shoes to the doorbell cameras themselves. This one forgetting to bring a bag to carry the goods, instead shoving delivery boxes and of his pants. All those choosing to mark their territory by licking the doorbell. Police officers also caught entertaining this year. This officer serenaded somebody with a happy birthday during a traffic stop. Happy birthday to you. Another caught on camera doing the flossing dance. Even the easter bunny getting in on the action, but not everything was fun and games for the bunny. Later getting into an argument with this woman on a sidewalk. And from the street to the sky cameras capturing these folks trying and failing to get away. Reaching high speeds on the streets and in the desert. But where there is bad in humanity, there is plenty of good too. Kids at a toledo, ohio, Childrens Hospital getting a surprise from none other than batman. A Police Officer dressed up as the gotham hero to cheer up the patients. A passing stranger coming to a neighbors rescue returning a wallet he found on a neighbors driveway. This transit worker literally saving someones life. A man in oakland, california, falling onto the tracks. The employee quickly pulling them up seconds before a train passes by. And at divine intervention as a car barely misses a lightning strike. This gear surviving after snow gave way sending him into an avalanche. And a pilot in distress safely landing his plane on a busy ro road. Cameras captured plenty of heartwarming moments too. Like those coast surprising his team after returning from active duty. And kids this year saying and doing the darndest thing. These siblings running straight from louisville after getting spooked by the grinch. This trickortreat are choosing to give away candy after spotting and empty bowl on the front porch. Other kids there to remind us of the purity of childhood. 2019 was quite a year for caught on cam and as Technology Becomes even more integrated into our lives what we capture on video will surely get even more interesting. In los angeles Jonathan Hunt fox news. Its even better when its narrated with a british accent. Everything is. He ended it so well with all the kid videos. Its amazing now all of these moments that are now caught on camera organically. Between the ring at your front door, the furball thats watching your dog in any cam and everything else. They capture us and i can go back and relive it in the way we never got five or ten years ago. We all get the water togeth together. Is embarrassing at this it may be. This year and a rally on wall street and is continuing but what about 2020 . Were going to dive into that. Not just talk breaking records, National Debt is soaring. On the Trump Administration plans to keep it in check. I suffered with psoriasis for so long. I felt gross. People were afraid i was contagious. I was covered from head to toe.

Holiday sales way up to well over last year. Lets bring in steven moore senior Economic Advisor to President Trump. And the coauthor of trumpet now makes. Thank you so much for joining us. What do you think it seems like the market is closing up very strongly 2019. You Better Believe it. The dow jones is green almost every day now. This has been quite a month. A bull market rally and it doesnt it seem like just yesterday that people thought the rally was coming to an end and the recession is around the corner. There are no signs of that right now. When youre talking about this bull market i was thinking about right after donald trump was elected president on november of 2016 people like paul krugman, who has a nobel prize in economics said he thought he was going to cause a dire financial catastrophe. Now we have an amazing economy with people making a lot of money in the stock market. Not just rich people are making money off of this. Well over 150 million americans, about half, who have a lot of money invested in their retirement accounts. A lot of people watching those 401 k s. Looking at the early movers today, amazon, apple, tesla, what are the driving forces right now . Where are these tail wind coming from . Technology stocks have done really well. We are the Technology Capital of the world. Its nice to see that america leads china and europe in those areas. Manufacturing starting to make a comeback. It is a comeback weak in the first half of this year and i was looking very good. The Housing Market is strong. Its hard to find any area of the economy that isnt doing very well. Look at the retail sales and the online sales from this christmas season. They are just off the charts. Whats it up over last year . People are spending more because they have more. Tax cuts have put more money in peoples pockets and created a very Strong Economy where employers need more workers. One of my favorite statistics that came out a couple of days ago is that 1 trillion, a million Million Dollars has come back in terms of repatriation of funds that were in ireland or china or mexico that have come back to the United States and that creates a lot of jobs here and brings a lot of factories fact. Talking about a couple of the reasons for the rallies, optimization, reduction of tariffs, stronger Consumer Confidence, where do you think this is coming from . Is it a combination of all factors that make for a Strong Economy right now . The trump tax cut has been a fabulous a success and we deregulated the economy. We are the Number One Energy producer in the world. You want to talk about industries that are doing wild talk about the american oil and gas industry. Who wouldve thought that wouldve happened ten years ago . You mentioned a really important one, which is the trade tensions and the tariff fights. Just a couple of weeks ago donald trump announced he now has this deal with china which is alleviating a lot of the fears of investors of a trade war. That actually comes to fruition, we will see once it is signed on the dotted lines. There is one number not so positive that americans have accumulated near record not burrs of credit card debt. What is this . When youre talking about americans and their own spending is this about Consumer Confidence . They think theyre going to be able to pay off these credit cards commenced a part of this . People have more income, they can borrow more. If your assets are higher you can borrow more. Lets not forget when we talk about these wonderful economy, how about these Interest Rates . You can get a 30 your mortgage now people can borrow more because the borrowing rates are so much lower than they were. One final thing, the National Debt. Thats a tough one. Why do you have to ruin a good picture . You have this great economy talking about these robust numbers yet we see this number growing and growing. How do you just thought . Thats a great point. Its a shame on both parties. Republicans and democrats are spending money like drunken sailors. I dont dig either party has a credible plan right now to deal with the staff. The republicans have been happy to spend money and the democrats, listen to the democratic president ial candidates. They dont want to reduce the debt they want to spend trillions more in a great new deal. Medicare for all. Free College Tuition and all of these things. What makes me nervous as they want to drive the debt up by trillions and trillions of dollars more. We need some kind of a balanced budget plan that gets us back to playing arbella. Next year is an election deal but thanks for your insights this morning. Thanks guys happy new years. New years might not bring a balanced budget, but it will bring a big crystal ball.
