As a white house lawyer sends a letter to House Speaker nancy pelosi vowing not to cooperate with what they are calling an illegitimate and unconstitutional impeachment inquiry. And pointing out there has not been a formal vote in the house. But Top Democrats hitting back, house intelligence chair adam schiff tweeting that the white house thinks the president is above the law. And House Speaker nancy pelosi echoing that, telling democrats in a letter, the actions taken by the president over the past two weeks show a defiance of our founders with a total disregard for their wisdom and the u. S. Constitution. It in his great and unmatched wisdom, President Trump must know that no one is above the law. The president will be held accountable. When it comes to impeachment, it is just about the facts and the constitution. Under course whatever happens the house, the final say will be in the senate. Lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle weighing in. But clearly they are obstructing justice by not turning over the documents, by arguing that the president so clearly set in the watergate matter is not binding precedent on them. Theyve basically forced Nancy Pelosis hand, and i think he was saying, i dig you to come get me. And she started the proceedings. I read the transcript. I do not see anything wrong there, and i want nancy pelosi to know that republican senators are not going to impeach the president based on this transcript, so she can stop now before she destroys the country. Melissa whew weve got a lot too. Im Melissa Francis. Here today, Fox Business Network anchor, Dagen Mcdowell you. Fox business network, lisa boothe. A big welcome back to marie harf. So i read every back and in the center seat today, david webb. Sirius xm radio host and a host of reality check on fox nation. And he is outnumbered, and since you are, i will you go first do you think . Be six of this is my one chance . Melissa this is it. Many of them believe the constitution is outdated, and they suddenly cite the constitution. Nancy pelosi is full of it. Theyre willing to throw out norms and practices, and this fake impeachment inquiry. They couch letters. The final issued subpoenas. Lets see how this plays out. Bring it to a vote, bring both sides in. Dont shut out republicans behind closed doors. They sit on the sidelines, they dont get to ask questions. This is a farce being carry it out. I want the president to go to the mat and i want republicans to go to the mat on this. Marie i miss the couch so good to be back david would you like a vote on the house floor . Marie i would, but the republicans like jim jordan have said they dont want a vote. That letter from the white house was not a legal document. It was really a political argument. Many of them are using evidence from codes on cable news shows. They were making an argument, because the impeachment is outlined quite clearly in the constitution on i would proceeds. Thats what nancy pelosi is trying to do. I think what youll see from the democrats all the subpoenas, if they are ignored by the administration, they are going to use that as evidence of obstruction. They are going to make that make a legal case. Look, the white house say they have nothing to hide. They say they are about transparency. Why wont you let these people go testify . David houses a Political Part of the impeachment process, anyway. The trials and the senate, as we all know. The great thing about issuing subpoenas as they will then be litigated in court. So let them go ahead and issue the subpoenas. Melissa let me take up that point. If that happens, its going to languish in court for quite a period of time. Lisa which i think is the hope of the white house, as well. Especially head of the 2020 election. Here point melissa in court for a long period of time . I dont know that thats the hope of the white house. You have this sort of thing that keeps going, people leak things marie itll run the clock out. Lisa to run the clock out. Its inevitable, this would lead up to the election. I think thats what the democrats want. To your point, impeachment is political. In nature. We are seeing a messaging war between the white house and democrats. President trump and his administration, this is the more as wellarticulated part of that weve seen so far from the white house. This is the case the admission she needs to make. In regard to transparency, you got the white house and President Trump to classifying the call with zelensky, put that up to the public. The doj put out the whistleblower complaint and the response to it, as well. So thats transparency. You can track about, what weve seen from house documents, holding these meetings in secret without any hope of seeing the call between President Trump its vt. Thats the case they need to make. They need to go flood the airwaves with that message. Dagen it is the houses constitutional power of impeachment, that as marie pointed out. They dont outline any of the rules. In terms of the impeachment proceeding. So i dont think from every american, if the democrats are serious about this, as they should be about an impeachment proceeding, then go ahead. Bring it to a full vote. There is a precedent. There is a precedent from clinton and nixon. You need the president by fiat or decree, to have the parameters of the inquiry. That is the power of the Judiciary Committee, the scope of the evidence, the rules, and the timing. There were identical rules packages the wall street journal writes about today for nixon and clinton were the Minority Party was able to consult on subpoenas and the president s lawyers are granted the right to attend all sessions related to impeachment, even those close to the public. Without that, this will be fought in the courts. If it is litigated in the courts, it puts the democrats in a box between now and election. Because, again, if you dont rush it and you go through, you vote and go through the proper procedures, then youre getting into the middle of an election year. If you rush it, it looks like you are trying to unknow a valid election. And eject it rightfullyelected president s. Melissa amid questions over the political fallout of this showdown, new nbc news wall street journal poll finds that the majority of americans feel that the allegations are serious enough to at the very least marriott and impeachment inquiry. In a separate question with only two options, a larger number of respondents say the president should not be removed from office, and events that he sho. The results, shockingly, split largely among party lines. [laughter] also, i dont believe in pollin polling. David thank you, melissa. If we govern by polling and create process by poll in this country, we will never get anywhere or get anything done. We dont do it in their daily lives, we dont do it in our corporate lives. This is about process. Dagen outlined a fair approach to this. The point is, bring it out, do it in the light of day, do it with transparent with both sides present, with the attorneys, with the other congressmen being able to ask questions behind closed doors. What are democrats afraid of . They are afraid of some of the things that will come out if allegations are anywhere near true that this leaker whistleblower had actual contact with adam schiff, may work for a potential opposing primary candidates on the democrat side. If this stuff starts coming to fruition, they are done. Speed to 1 dumb i dont like melissa my favorite way to let mary answer, but he answered yoursel yourself. Marie they like it on publicly. David and why are they doing it . David they are asking people to testify on their getting stonewalled. Let me finish. I remember when mike pompeo was in congress and he issued so many requests and so many subpoenas to the obama administration. He was furious when people wouldnt show up or when they hesitated about showing up. Now that the she was on the other foot its fascinating david it doesnt work. Nice deflection. Marie is absolutely not a deflection. Lisa marie, there holding these meetings in this scif. Exactly, marie. Its not out in the light. You have adam schiff selectively leading whether its a text message exchange, selectively leaking it out to serve the narrative. Dagen i need to add one thing. Maybe adam schiff is conducting it on behalf of nancy pelosi, because he can use intelligence as the guys to keep it secret. That is one issue. I want to say nancy pelosi melissa there you go. Fox news alert, President Trump has hired trey gowdy as outside counsel to represent him in the democrat house impeachment inquiry. Wow.

Dagen this fox news alert, air strikes underway in northeastern syria as turkish troops pushed in on Kurdish Forces. A spokesman for the kurds says that turkish warplanes are targeting civilian areas in the region, creating allout panic. This, after the iranian president s house on ronnie reportedly urged turkey to avoid conflicts while simultaneously holding it on announced military drill during the border. Meantime, two u. S. Senators, Lindsey GrahamLindsey Graham and chris coons, demanding the tram down my in this region immediately briefed lawmakers on the president s abrupt decision to pull troops of the huge trey yingsts lead from jerusalem. Either, dagen the military operation is underway in syria, and Kurdish Forces are calling out of the United States to implement a nofly zone as the borders pound by air strikes. F16s today targeted her decisions. As reports indicate, Democratic Forces considered u. S. Allies just days ago, are responding by targeting a Turkish Military base. We are learning of a mass civilian exits from the border as civilians flee this new violence. The operation was announced this morning back turkish president erdogan. His defense manager indicated the United States, russia, and the u. K. Among others were briefed on the ark evacuation. The United States previously had a group of soldiers in the region to print dont i prevent such an attack. This is pardon the agreement. Another major concern is the resurgence devices. Kurdish officials have said this would become a second priority if the turkish invasion was launched. Thousands of kurdish fighters lost their lives fighting isis on behalf of the west. Many of these isis fighters still have family in the region. They were made a promise by the Tribal Administration and now the big question is with u. S. Forces out of the area, allowing for this Turkish Operation to go forward, with the americans trying to prevent casualties already underway. Dagen thank you for that. Trey yingst in jerusalem for us. Lets bring it to the sofa. Marie, to you first on this. Actually, trey reference this. Kurdish fighters in syria plus 11,000 soldiers fighting against isis. If there is a civilian bloodbath, if there is a bloodbath with the kurds, and what does this mean also for a resurgence of isis . Marie there is a reason, dagen, that over the past few days youve seen republicans and democrats almost across the board criticizing this. Everyone from Mitch Mcconnell to nancy pelosi. People who agree on nothing else agree this is a very bad move, to abandon our kurdish allies. I think we should have a serious conversation about what the right footprint should be in syria. How long should he be there . How long should we be supporting people like our kurdish allies who fought alongside us, it took so many casualties, as you mentioned, against isis . Thats a conversation we should be having. The way to make the decision is not calling the president of turkey, who has for decades had so much animosity toward the kurds, has wanted to move against the kurds, to collect the president of turkey and make a decision that is abandoning our allies right now. I would be curious to see what President Trump does in the face of particularly the republican criticism from people like Lindsey Graham. Dagen david . David let me start with completely wrong and how this process played out, and everything marie just said. Number one, this is not just one phone call between the president of the United States and the president of turkey. There are other parties involved dealing with both sides. Thats one, fact one. Melissa like who . David i cant review all the sources of this. [laughter] you can laugh all you want. Marie its easy to say that if you dont have evidence, david. David theres a difference between ignorance and fact. Dagen im going to stop right there. I dont think you need to call marie ignorance, because she did say david ignorance of the issue. I will correct that. Ignorance of how this has played out. Yes, it is questionable and you have to separate those groups. They are not one monolithic block. It is true that there has been with a firm warning issued by the president , that if turkey goes off limits when it comes to the kurds, to purchase more like a macarthur island hopping. Go to those who are the danger in isis, there will be blowback whether its economic or otherwise. And be controlled airspace, so we can also act as necessary. The other part of this, you couldnt write this playbook. We had to let this happen because we were not going to stop it. You have to remove the american troops. By the way, the reporting on the numbers, that number is classified. No one knows that actual number but a few people, of how many were actually taken out of the area. Their role was to act as a buffer between the two, and advised to make sure we had some balanced approach in intelligence. Dagen marie was right on the fact that both republicans and democrats are very, very unhappy and upset with what the president decided to do. Heres Lindsey Graham on fox friends. Everybody is telling him this wont work, but hes doing it anyway. Just like obama. And it erdogan is not our friend. Congress will push back. We are not giving turkey a green light in congress, and we are not going to abandon the kurds. If the president does so, we wont. David hes not right and hes not wrong. He is the problem, hes not recognizing the situation for what it is. Heres the coalition that exist there. You have turkey that is a nato ally, see you have to deal with that issue and the administration has to do without. Melissa they dont behave like a nato ally. David ive been one of the fiercest tricks of turkey, but we have to recognize that this is a deal with the situation ast exists. Lindsey graham has made a couple of statements that are more political than they are based on what has happened on the ground. Lisa i would say this is probably not the best time to alienate some of the allies you need on capitol hill as you are facing an impeachment inquiry from the house. Another concern i have is what happens with isis. As we know, the kurds are guarding thousands of isis soldiers and their Family Members in syria. So what happens to that . President trump also promised and has made great ground in defeating isis because he loosened the rules of engagement and empowered our military men and women. So what happens to isis . Do they begin a foothold, which also would look good coat david isis must be dealt with. Lisa by turkey. To be trust them to do that, though . I think its a fair question. David they also have a split kurdish issue between the two primary groups. Kurds, again, are not monolithic. If they follow through on what has been discussed, which is to deal with isis issue, and leave the kurds alone melissa before we run out of time, i want to ask mary about that. He paints it like we have all these isis fighters there that are just being held. They cant be held there differently. They should go back to the countries from which they came. The countries do not want to take them back. We cant put them in guantanamo bay. What should happen to those isis fighters . Marie well, theyve been in these prisons in the kurdishcontrolled areas. Now theres talk the president might want turkey to take them. Theres no way that turkey is taking them. This is the problem, melissa. Melissa im asking, honestly, because i have no idea. Lisa i think thats a really good question. Marie i think they should be imprisoned where they are now. Melissa it definitely . Survive indefinitely, probably. The answer isnt to have turkey move in. Go against the kurds, maybe have all these fighters released from prison, either because the kurds cant guard them anymore or they are let go. Its very clear that turkeys main focus in this area are the kurds. Historically, yes, they are not a monolith, but historically the tricks of want to move against kurdish areas. Thats the number one priority. I dont know where these isis fighters will go. Theres not a perfect answer. But the answer is not letting them out. 36 so we shouldnt hold people into filled in guantanamo bay, but they should hold them it definitely imprison . Dagen the danger is they form cells elsewhere and go back to your potential. And what does that bring to the request . The fight over Justice Brett kavanaugh still simmering more than a year later. The answer republican senators want from the doj as democrats talk about removing him from the bench. Every american wants their dollars to work as hard as they do. However, since 2000, the buying power of the dollar has dropped by over 31 that means the dollar is only worth about 68¢ now compared to 2000.

Melissa a new report raising press questions about the ukraine whistleblowers potential political bias. The Washington Examiner reports individual as some sort of 2020 connections. Byron york writing, under questioning from republicans during last fridays impeachment inquiry interview with atkinson, the Inspector General revealed that the whistleblowers possible bias was not that he was simply a registered democrat. It was that he had a significant tie to one of the democratic president ial candidates currently vying to challenge President Trump in next years election. Lisa, i dont know that that so much is what concerns me as much as the whistleblowers action of going to the committee before going to the ig. Lisa right. Melissa go ahead. Lisa it was the Inspector General that noted the complainant had a bias which was noted in the doj release in response to it was a blur complaint. Melissa everybody has a bias, though. Lisa well, i know, but if you are trying to essentially lead to the impeachment of the president , i think thats a fair concern. Just to confirm, i asked mark meadows on the commercial break, adam schiff has not release the transcript of kurt volker testimony, which i think speaks to the process and the concerns there. Not just the way adam schiff has ran this thing. In addition, the way the whistleblower has handled it. As you noted, he went he or she went to adam shift prior to filing the complaint. There is an 18 day window between that july 25th call and august 12th when the complaint was filed. Further, did not disclose to the Inspector General that these conversations had happened with adam schiff. So i think the way the whistleblower has handled this certainly calls into question the motives. Then when you add on the element of the fact the individual had to declare bias against the president , thats concerning. Melissa dagen, we were talking on the break. They were riding in the dash somebody not generally sympathetic to the right talking about how he doesnt think this whistleblower will turn out to be natural to support. One of the points he made was that whistleblowers are totally alone. Thats why they have the whole world pushing against them. Thats why they deserve this kind of secrecy. But this is somebody who was instantly celebrated in the larger media on the left, have a lot of allies who came to them out of time saying, heres what we know. Part of a large group protecting this person, as opposed to the kind of person who generally cant find a job, cant walk the street because of the whistle they flown. Dagen right. In the whistleblower complaint it says, i received information from multiple government officials about potus and his abuse of power of the office. More than half a dozen u. S. Officials informed me. The dumb actually look like a clearinghouse for information. According to Catherine Herridge is amazing reporting, they wrote a memo to memorialize the conversation. Using words like crazy, and the frightening call. So there was some planning there. The wall street editor of the page says the to prevent reprisal at work. Its not designed to provide immunity from public scrutiny for claims into ousting ousting a president. B5 the Inspector General also said the claims made were credible and Inspector General thought this was a credible person. Theres also a second whistleblower, by the way. We dont know anything about who this first person is except for these little dribs and drabs. David will put it on the open and find out. Marie those protections are in place legally for a reason. Everything they outlined that memo weve now seen is backed up by the transcript. Lisa thats not true. David that is not true at all. On everything that was whistleblower alleges, its backed up in that transcript, number one. Number two, they change the rules and this is something we should examine. Why kearsley was allowed marie thats not true. David the rules are changed. Marie thats not true, david. Not true. David in may of 2019. Melissa republicans on the Judiciary Committee want an update from the doj with four accusers who made claims under oath against and now Supreme Court associate, Justice Brett kavanaugh, during his confirmation fight last year. The lawmakers say they want those who lied to be held accountable. What do you think . Lisa absolutely. If you care about any actual victims of sexual assault, when people bring allegations for they should be punished because that demeans the current ability of actual victims. We have two individuals, just with the guy that claims his friend was sexually assaulted on a boat in rhode island, who recanted there was also another woman named julia munro who accused judge kavanaugh of raping her and let her said shed it because she wanted to raise attention, essentially. We know theres at least two people who essentially made it up and also recanted what they previously said. So that is wrong. I also believe the other three women were lying, personally, but we know for a fact that two people have recanted what they said. So those people should absolutely be punished, and anyone else made false allegations. David just take the attorney for buzzy ford at her word paige said it was political and designed to took im paraphrasing, but ask your own attorney. Melissa which are due by people who later recants . They make this public testimony, and then they take it back and admit they werent telling the truth. Marie i dont know if we are prepared were not in the senate, the Judiciary Committee come in the media, to go back down to the litigation of Brett Kavanaughs past. If you want to go back and talk to these women, are we going to bring up the other women who were never interviewed by the fbi . Whose stories havent been melissa answer the question. Marie you dont get to just focus on the david why not . Melissa im asking, what happened to people who recanted . If you come out and make these public claims in a situation like this, and he really does damage to somebody and later you say it wasnt true, would you want to happen to the person . Marie the court of Public Opinion can litigate this. My point is the student be lived out in the vacuum of people who have recanted. Theres a lot of women lisa its against the law. David its called libel and slander. We have those lost for a reason. Marie there are a lot of women who have accused him who are not Christine Blasey ford. Several women who were not testifying before congress, 11 recanted. Do not open those again . Lisa i would love to. David i would love to do that melissa we dont want to go back down that road. Im asking really simple question about what should happen to people who come forward and testify and then take it back later for whatever reason. This could happen to anybody. On any side of the aisle. Marie but they didnt testify. Melissa your Family Member member. If you go on public and make the statements dagen there has to be punishment involved, and i will tell you why. The whole process is at risk. This is for republicans and democrats, any time anyone is nominated to the high court. If you dont put a stop to this, the false allegations, the recanting of stories told, itll get worse and worse and worse and worse. For the republicans and the democrats. Speech melissa it also gives credence to those who do come forward. If theres a punishment that you like, dont you believe the people who come forward . Dont believe him so much more . You dont doubt their sincerity. You know theyre coming forward because they really feel that way. If theres a punishment out there for lying. David thats a good point, and thats why i favor the british system. The british system punishes the liar in many cases. Something we do to look at here in the United States. Melissa i dont know, well see. The nba in damage control mode over tweet about the hong kong protest. New searching the leagues business in china. The showdown is next. Saturdays happen.

Marie nba commissioner adam silver in shanghai looking to repair the leagues billiondollar relationship with china, amid the firestorm over tweet showing solidarity with the hong kong protesters. The nba postponing todays scheduled media sessions in shanghai for the Brooklyn Nets and los angeles lakers, and it remains unclear if the teams will play in china this week as scheduled. This, as state media is accusing silver of supporting the secessionist violence in hong kong. Dagen, the nba big business in china. It is a lot of money, a lot of fans. How is this going to play out . Dagen i lambasted the entire response to one tweet from one dude who works for the houston rockets. The fact that they did not stand up for american values. However, adam silver has made a comeback. He came out in the statement yesterday, the league is not going to put itself in a position of regulating what players, employees, and team owners say. In the nba has the upper hand in all of this. Its the most popular Sports League in china. You cant imagine china now without the nba being there, and basketball. The wall street journal at a figure today that there are is about as many escrow players in china as there are americans. Melissa thats amazing. Dagen about 300 Million People play basketball in china. So they can dig in and say, you want basketball . We are it. Marie melissa, its interesting it feels like china is trying to use its market power here, and i was reading Something Interesting this morning that says that unlike with hotel chains or airlines, when china tries to move away from those businesses, if they allow free speech, there is one nba. There is one basketball association, as dagen said. They love it. In a business sense, how is this going to shake out . Melissa you are right to point that out. This is the most fascinating case be seen to date. We see in this clash between the Chinese Government trying to flex muscle and this business of some type. Part of me, i feel for the people of china. The hong kong people. For those records and a possible players, this is something that brings them so much joy. Somebody made a great comment yesterday. I care member who it was. That if the Chinese Government blocked out basketball, even more that whats going on in hong kong, that could be cause for revolution pair thats not even a joke people are really, really on one hand, i think it would be cruel to deprive them of this thing that provide so much escape. On the underhand, would this be the impetus to get them out from under the thumb of a regime that treats them horribly . Lisa one thing i think it interesting, the media always treats new scandals as if it hasnt happened before. China, their state of also dull mike always using economic incentives to control and cente center. There was that marriott employee who liked a post, thinking marriott for listing to bet as, which they sense has said was a mistake. We seen with the hollywood industry how much china controls by cofinancing films. Melissa apple, google, facebook. Lisa same with the facebook scandal. Theyd used it in that way. Even the russian meddling scandal. They have long meddled in the elections. It always surprises me i guess it shouldnt be surprising, because the media always treats new scandals as if it never happened before when thats not the case. David for my pilot friends, climb higher and take a better view. Youve got the initiation sanctions in china over. Is this around 12 . Weve lost count. Lucky 13. Theres a Bigger Picture in play here. China, who is expanding through its bri initiative, is now attracting. Anyway they can give them to assert more force and leverage matters. When you look at the other side, companies should a collection n on how this plays out. See what this looks like when the final buzzer goes off, and companies should follow through. The nba is successful, they can fight back against china. Melissa as dagen points out, they have more leverage than the other companies. David the monopoly. Dagen you know would have put a stop to this . If any of them have stepped up. Lisa thats a great point. David where is yao ming .

Attorney john durhams investigation into the origins of the 2016 russian collusion case and possible surveillance of the Trump Campaign is expanding. Durham adding agents and resources and broadening the scope of the beginning of the probe through the postelection spring of 2017, up to when Robert Mueller was named special counsel. Lisa, this, again, watching special report last night, listening to bret baier and Catherine Herridge, this likely means that there is there there. Based on what durham hasnt covered so far. Lisa what i would love the answer to is if the dossier was russian disinformation. And something to do our times brought up an article much longer. We have daniel hoffman, who works here, a former cia officer based out of moscow who has brought this point up, as well. Concerning the fact that Christopher Steele was previously british intel. They probably wouldve caught wind that he was working on this. Was it russian disinformation . You should want to get to the model of that. In part, the fbi used it to obtain a fisa warrant. It was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the dnc. If they were using russian disinformation to surveilled carter page, that should be deeply concerning to all americans. If you care about russian interference, we should get to the bottom of that. Melissa to put it even more plainly, was a campaign dealing russian disinformation to the fbi . Thats what i was trying to say [laughter] david in a very nice way. Marie it is so interesting to talk about the story and to talk about the current allegations on ukraine. Melissa what brought about that civil question can i can answer that one question cannot speak marie im going to come melissa. Think about what happened in 2016 on the next election coming up, hes raising a lot of very interesting questions about opposition research. We should take and what we shouldnt in these campaigns. In an ideal world, i actually want all the facts out there about what happened in the 2016 election and investigation. Because i believe a lot of allegations and insinuations and rumors. Havent seen all the facts. I believe, when we actually see them, itll be clear that there were legitimate Law Enforcement reasons to severe people like carter page melissa shes going to answer my question pages got together. Marie my point is, your question had an allegation in it. Sure, the way you said it is true, that would be concerning. We dont know its true. Melissa im saying, would it be concerning if the campaign dealt russian and disinformation to the fbi . Marie sure. My point is i want durham to answer the question of how this got started, because i deeply to believe, having been administration then and seeing what the russians were doing, that this is a legitimate investigation. David reason you have a true investigation is you follow the evidence, you follow what leads you, and you go there. Im glad theyve expanded this. Mueller was given huge expanse in his investigation. Lets let durham do the job. One thing weve got to do is not sell this for months and months and months. It does take time. But i want this to go where it leads. It has to go back in time to the obama administration. Where the operation began, and asked to go for a two ukraine, to russia, and any actors out there that are involved in this. Let it go where it is. Watch that. When that starts going you will see a lot of democrats, just like i expect, saying you know what . Would we need to pull back on this can be seen enough. Dagen the ig report on alleged court abuses going to be out literally in a matter of days. Certainly in the next week or two. Remember, these two words joseph mifsud. Who said, he has dared im clinton, and lied to the fbi three times. No charges. Over clinton and President Trump renewing their war of words as 2020 draws closer, and sparking buzz of a possible round two . How likely is that . To look at me now, you dont see psoriasis.

The former president ial candidate responding to one of President Trumps tweets that said that she should enter the 2020 race for the white house. Saying, dont tempt me, do your job. She also said this last night maybe there does need to be rematch. I mean, obviously i can beat him again. David [laughs] dagen ive got to lay down. [laughter] this gives me vertigo. Yall just discuss while i rest my weary head. No, no, no. Im not going to get into this. No, no, no, no. Its basic let me take this off. Lisa david is reclaim the mantle. David she wasnt ready in 2016. She doesnt run a good Electoral College strategy. She won the popular vote. Congratulations, you lost. Thats it, end of story. Lisa marie, i want to ask you about Something Different than this. We were talking on the commercial break, obviously you were out working and he talked about the disconnect between the establishment of media and whats are saying. Tell me about that disconnect. Marie it was really interesting. Obviously democratic voters, first and foremost, want to win. There are a little nervous but joe biden. You see that in some of his poll numbers coming down. Elizabeth warren, we were almost no mic or in talking about, running a great campaign. But its been interesting watching how, especially the dnc with their debate rules and news on the debates age and who isnt, what issues they are focusing on and what they arent, the voters out kind of arent in the debates yet. They want more options. They are concerned about biden, theyre concerned about bernie and elizabeth warrens electability. Theres all these people in the middle that we havent talked as much about. The voters are testing out. People like Amy Klobuchar and cory booker. Its a really interesting thing that voters are doing right now. Dagen i will add one thing Hillary Clinton was recently asked what the gutsys thing was that she did in a prison life. She said stay in my marriage. If that is acquainted we had seen when against time, she would have done a lot better pay because it was real. Lisa will see you back your smart noon eastern. Heres Melissa Francis in for harris. Melissa fox news alert, new reaction is the white house declares war on democrats impeachment inquiry. This is outnumbered overtime and im Melissa Francis in today for harris faulkner. The white house telling Speaker Pelosi it will not cooperate with the investigation. It calls it illegitimate and unconstitutional. Slamming the fact that there has been no full house vote on the inquiry. But pelosi says the constitution doesnt demand that, right in, the president s actions threaten our national security, violate our constitution, and undermine the integrity of our elections. The white house letter is only the latest attempt to cover up his betrayal of our democracy and to insist that the president is above the law. But Republican Congressman jim jordan says the white house has good reason to put up a
