Congress and jim jordan, Chris Stewart who just read the whistleblower complaint breakdown the fight on capitol hill. Former independent counsel robert ray is also here and why allegations against the biden family are far more serious than what trump is facing. And Raymond Arroyo has a special impeachment edition of seen and unseen. Thats coming up as well. But first, seven lessons from the past 48 hours. Thats the focus of tonights angle. I read through the rough transcript of the call betweenrs trump and the new ukrainian president , and a few things struck me. Number one, theres not a Single Person in washington with any experience in government, not one, who really believes the president was trying to use the Ukrainian Government to rig the 2020 election. I dont see how anyone in his or her right mind could legitimately say there is an Impeachable Offense in this transcript. In the conversation, trump congratulated Volodymyr Zelensky on his parliamentary win and said the u. S. Would continue to support ukraine,d but he was frustrated that the e. U. Isnt doing more. Zelensky agreed saying the European Union should be our biggest partner. Technically, the United States is a much bigger partner. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next stepat specifically. Were almost ready to buy more javelins from the United States for defense purposes. Then, the president responds, i would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and ukraine knows a lot t about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with ukraine. They say crowdstrike, the server, they say ukraine has it. I would like to have the attorney general call you or your people and i would like you to geten to the bottom of it. Whatever you can do its very important that you do it if thats possible. Zelensky then interjected that one of his assistants had met with giuliani and that the investigation was very important for him, as well. Adding i guarantee that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly. That i can assure you. Okay, handling investigations openly and candidly. That sounds like an evil plot to me how nefarious of them. T. There is no quid pro quo and the president never once even hinted that ukrainian aid would be withheld if a further investigation wasnt done. At this point i think its pretty obvious that the democrats overplayed their hand big time. They based their impeachment move on a whistleblower who didnt even hear the conversation and who grossly exaggerated what happened in it. Which brings me to point number two. The president not only did nothing wrong, het went above d beyond his duty to his office hoping to discover what happened in the lead up to the 2016 election so it never happens to another president again. As we know, the biden story is about far more than just huntery biden making big money in ukraine while daddy was setting ukraine policy. I fully support transparency on the socalled whistleblower information but also insist on transparency from joe biden and his son, hunter, and the millions of dollars that have been quickly and easily taken out of ukraine and china. Laura if Foreign Governments were approached to assist in digging up dirt on trump in the lead up to 2016 thats a big problem. And trump is right. We need to get to the bottom of any election tampering. I thought the democrats wanted to stop election meddling by Foreign Governments. Which takes us to point number three. Democrats t dont really care about preventing government corruption. Any democrat claiming to be interested in corruption should be outraged by the fact that biden himself bragged on camera about dangling a foreign aid carrot to get a prosecutor firee when that prosecutor was involved in investigating the company paying his son boatloads of cash. To not a single democrat will even concede that bidens actions at the very least were an obvious conflict of interest . Its extremely telling. Look, i said, were leaving in six hours and if the prosecutor is not fired youre not getting the money. Son of a [bleep]. He got fired. Laura number four. If President Trump wanted to pressure ukraine to hurt biden with the intent on improving his own reelection chances, there were a hundred better ways to do it. By the way, ways that wouldnt involve speaking to the ukrainian president on the phone when he knowss that the call is monitored and memorialized by intelligence staffers. Ni while the democrats insist trump was pressuring ukraine to investigate biden, what does the ukrainian president himself say . We had, i think, good phone call. It was normal. We spoke about many things. And you read it, that nobody pushed me. Laura nobody pushed him. So the principal himself adamant no pressure from trump. The call was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. So are the impeachment dems saying that zelensky here on camera is lying . So its a trump ukrainian conspiracy in plain sight . Now, does this all this kind of sound familiar to any of you . Phony collusion claims in 2017 phony pressure claims now. Number five. There are no moderates left in thee democratic party. This point is beyond debate. During the midterms, swing district democrats claimed they were anxious to work with the president. Now they are the tips of the impeachment sphere. The quid pro quo element doesnt need to be there for this to be a crime. This was a line that was crossed for the National Security dems and something that we thought the caucus needed to move on. While it may be a controversial issue, when you look at the facts and you look at the specific instance, i think its a total game changer. Laura its a game changer for the democratic party. They are all ilhan omar now. When they are up for reelection next year and they insist, they insist they are moderates who just want government to work again, dont believe them. They must be voted out of office for violating their pledge to be more bipartisan. Number six, democrat leadership has totally given up on governing. Now, time and again, trump has beaten them at their own game. Weve seen it. Im beginning to think its made them they are losing it. Day after day, they are totally delusional. You know the lunatic hobos who blurt out crazy things and they zigzag in the middle of a crowded intersection . Adam schiff kind of sounded like that today. What those notes reflect is a classic mafialike shakedown of a foreign leader. This is how a mafia boss talkse like any mafia boss, the president didnt need to say thats a nice country you have and it would be a shame if something happened to it. Laura the man doesnt even know the godfather. He doesnt know the movie. He doesnt know what a shakedown is. I still remember, by the way, when the democrats told us they were going to work on health care and infrastructure. They were going to take on the drug companies. Theyre not going to do any of that. C c which takes us to my seventh and final point. Itss biblical here. Democrats are possessed with antitrump rage. Maybe there needs to be an exorcism. They are infuriated that mueller let them down, that trumpp has beaten them pretty much at every turn. They are obsessed with punishing him and anyone who works for him, anyone who is close to him. Think about it. Does leadership give impassioned press conferences on their plan. For reining in government waste and fraud and abuse . Or improving the economy . No, they save all their emotion and bogus investigations and e angry denunciations of anyone associated with this president. The polls are clear. This is not what americans want. These representatives were notic sent to washington to frustrate the peoples will. They were sent to washington to do the peoples will. At this point, trump is doing that all on his own. Soon, though, its going to turn to the people. They will have their say and theyre going to let washingtong know what it thinks about the job theyve done. And, properly framed, the election will be a choice between the democrats, revenge and resiststyle politics or the president s results. Unfortunately for pelosi and schiff, you cant impeach your own constituents. And thats the angle. Uehere to respond is ken starr former whitewater independent counsel. And sol wisenberg,former white y independent counsel. As i mentioned, the favor trump asked for was help investigating the 2016 election, but hosts at cnn and msnbc chose today and the democrats did, as well, chose today to lie about what that favor pertained. Watch. Trump then asked for a favor. I would like you to do us a favor, he says. That the ukrainian president get his government to investigate joe biden. He said, will you do me a favor and investigate Vice President bidens son . U will you do me a favor and get involved in the 2020 election . Vice President Biden is my chief political opponent. Laura lying on national television. Just moments ago, aoc repeatedra the lie on cnn. What we are talking about here is the president essentially participating in what looks like a series of events that looks like extortion. Withholding aid to an ally and then quoteunquote asking for a favor to essentially benefit yourself politically. Laura sol wisenberg, what is this really all about . Well, i think the president while the president showed extremely poor judgment in the phone call, i think youre right that its a complete exaggeration of the conversation. As i said last night, i dont think it comes close to being an Impeachable Offense. Understanding that the definition of an Impeachable Offense is somewhat amorphous. Its basically what a majority in Congress Says is an Impeachable Offense, but historically, thematically, i dont think were there and i think they harm themselves by grossly exaggerating what was said in the conversation. Laura ken, my specific question was about this favor. When they reference the favor, they kind of meld it into to investigate hunter biden, joe biden, because he is going to be his opponent in 2020. That was never said. I actually read the transcript like five times today. Thats not what is said. If either of you have spoken to the president at length, its usually a pretty freewheeling conversation in a good way. Becas mind. Hes thrown in a lot of things there. There are literally telling a falsehoodd night after night after night in many ways but tonight specifically about that fact. Ken. Gh yes, i think that the use of the term favor, its unfortunate. I agree with sol. One can question the judgment and the wisdom of the call, but my workd, i think its a wildly extravagant to say that this somehow constituted a crime, a quid pro quo, seeking of favors, of some sort of effort to affect the election of the Uniteded States especially when, and we are all trained to do this, we should do this in literature class. Read the entire transcript. The context is one of two World Leaders having a conversation including about what europe is not doing. You have to read a lot about what france is not doing. Angela merkel is not doing. And contextla is critically important. Laura what i have to say to both of you, weve had conversations. President s having conversations with foreign leaders about corruption all the time. A i mean, this is america is forever trying to get our allies or get people who are kind of our allies to do better. As for you should be investigating this, its not out of the ordinary. When the ukrainian president said, you know, its normal staff. I think most people have conversations like that at a highlevel, 50,000 feet, i dont find it out of the ordinary at all. I really didnt. It didnt surprise me at all. Let me just add that president zelensky was quite eloquent i thought in this translation talking about he wants honest government. You mentioned the open and candid dimension of it. Laura is that not what we want . Yeah. I i mean, i dont think we should want anything else. Ha exactly. You know, laura. Laura go ahead, sol. Sorry to interrupt. I dont know if its ordinary or not. Im not usually privy to these conversations, thats part of the problem. But the president says we have aided you a lot and it hasnt been reciprocal. Zelensky says some things and then the president says you could do me a favor. Youre right, he doesnt talk at all about biden right away but he gets around to biden and f he mentions bidens son and he mentions it a few times. Thats why i say its unfortunate. Its bad judgment. Very bad judgment. But it doesnt come close in my view to being a crime or to being impeachable. And thats the problem. Laura were having words like extortion used. Shakedown. These terms are casually thrown around by even lawyers. Speaking of lawyers, the media have been desperately trying to tag and drag bill barr, the attorney general, someone we all three of us know quite well. Into this fray. Take a look. Is barr going to now recuse himself again . I dont see how he cant recuse himself in light of the fact that hes named. I think attorney general barr should absolutely recuse. How can bill barr not recuse himself . Level 1 to 10. One being the d 10 being the most likely that the attorney general would recuse himself in this matter. Ken, what do you think . Two to three. I dont get this serious issuew. We now know, weve been informed that the president never reached out to the attorney general directly or indirectly, that the attorney general has had no communications with the Ukrainian Government about all of this. So we saw this in the russia investigation, the Mueller Report. The president askedin for something to be done or says something to be done, but it doesnt end up getting done. Theres no reason for bill barr to recuse himself. Laura sol, hold on one second. Folks at cnn today are saying we need a special counsel. They are at a special counsel 2. 0. If it werent so serious, it would be like a saturday night live sketch if they had any balanced sense of humor. This is what is being proposed by supposedly serious people. I you know, i never promised never to use bill barr is implicated in this call, or at least verbally being enlisted to assist in this effort. Hes now in charge of evaluating whether this criminal referral has any merit under u. S. Law. Itslu a conflict of interest. So, technically, there should be special counsel 2. 0. Laura we stepped on you a little bit, sol. Your thoughts. Its okay. I promise never to use this word but all the old troupes, democratic tropes are coming out here. I think he should not recuse himself. I think its even less than what ken talked about with the Mueller Report because, in the Mueller Report, you had a couple instances where the president asked somebody tos do something and they didnt do it, thus protecting him. Here the president never talkedo about to barr and never asked barr about anything. However, i think its very important, and this, really, of all the things in the conversation that upset me the most, is by mentioning the attorney general who has been very careful to set up the durham investigation. Laura which is looking into this, by the way. Looking into fisa abuse looking into fisa abuse and all the things that happened against President Trump in the election. He has put this impeccable person of impeccable reputation career prosecutor in charge of it. The attorney general has set it all up so that we can have confidence in it, and then for the president to Say Something in this investigation, im going to have my attorney general its not its not a good thin. Laura i think he probably knew again, we are all lawyers. I think he probably may be understood that this is being investigated already or was in the process of being investigated and he probably knew at some point they were going to likely talk to him. May i dont know. But it was like durham versus barr. Its a freewheeling conversation. I think the fact that we are releasing transcripts of our conversations with foreign leaders, i bet there are a lot of foreign leaders out there who are very unhappy right now and im worried about what its going to do to the presidency. Great to have you both on tonight. Thank you so much. Jim jordan is one of the first congressmen to read the transcript of this call with the ukrainian president. Congressman Chris Stewart just viewed the actual whistleblower complaint, and they are both here in moments. By the strolle s [ growl ] good boy. Hey. Hey. You must be stevens phone. Know whos on your network and control who shouldnt be with xfinity xfi. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Laura now that the democrats are fully embracing impeachment, we want to take you through the next steps. Joining me now, chief Fox News National correspondent ed henry. Good to see you. What is significant would be the numbers. The fact that a majority of the 217 House Democrats are saying that they are in favor of some sort of impeachment inquiry. What comes next . T . What is speci . It would be the House Judiciary Committee drafting articles of impeachment. Whats interesting tonight is that there is a split among democrats. You have some democrats saying they want kind of a kitchen sink approach. They want to keep their base completely happy by having articles of impeachment about russia and the mueller probe, about hush payments tot porn stars, and ukraine, as well. There is another camp, and it appears Speaker Nancy Pelosi might be leaning more in this direction, that wants to keep it narrowly focused on ukraine because they believe they can move quicker on that and it would also keep some of the more moderate democrats who won swing districts, d trump districts, in 2018, on board. If you deep just. But, look at the problem. Tworo of those more moderatedema maccallum earlier, and they didnt seem to know what they were for. Watch. Do you have the votes to begin the official inquiry if you were to take a vote right now . Right now its not about starting an inquiry. Its about getting to the bottom of this. I thought thats what nancy pelosi said yesterday, you are opening an official inquiry those were her words. I think a lot of people want to, why not vote on it if there is such a strong feeling about it. Im happy to take a personal vote on the floor on articles of impeachment, but first we need to understand what if anything happened. So you see that they are saying we dont necessarily want an impeachment inquiry. We want investigations, even though theres been investigations of the president for well over two years. Interesting, ted lieu, leading democrat, he said today we have to act quickly but not in haste. That kind of seems to sum up where democrats are right now. They cant quite decidehow quic. Laura arent those synonyms, all right. Stay right there. And fox has confirmed about a dozen republican lawmakers were there earlier today to read the transcript of trumps ukraine call before it was released and jim jordan joins me now. Chris stewart. The house intel c. He just viewed the actual whistleblower document and congressman, you have some breaking news for us tonight. We know that its been declassified and its been released, so it should be available for everyone to look at and i encourage everyone to go look at it. You know, laura, before i went in this morning, i was a little bit anxious. I thought am i going to be surprised . In is there going to be something of this where i go, oh, no. I can tell you that after reading it im much more confident tonight than i was this morning that its going to be, its going to go nowhere. Theres just no surprises there. The entirety of it is focused on the transcript of one phone call, transcript released this morning. There are some reports from the wall street journal andnep from politico and a couple other things, but they are ancillary. They have nothing to do with it. Its this one phone call weve been talking about all day. Laura at cnn, one of the other congressmen ran out to cameras after seeing it from your committee, had a different take, surprisingly. Lets watch. Deeply disturbing. Reinforces the concerns. The white house is selectively trying to control the spin on stuff, as they did with the special counsels report. When, all i can tell you is ther lied about the report. They are doing the very same thing here. Laura what im confused about and i think a lot of people are, did the whistleblower see the transcript or was told by a friend . How did this whistleblower im curious. Its an important question because you would think he did not see it. Laura or she. We have wagers about whether its a woman or a man. I want to get on that. He or she did not see it, did not read it, did not hear it. This was all secondhand knowledge. Thats just one thing. Mr quigly, who just came on and claimed how dramatic it is, its nonsense. If you think its dramatic, read the transcript and tell me if you think its dramatic. I think, and most American People go, what is this about . I dont care if theres 217 democrats voting for impeachment. That doesnt matter. Its the American People that matter. Look at what Richard Nixon did. Look at what bill clinton did. They know intuitively this is wrong, but you have to explainfk to a foreign leader and ask to investigate corruption, most americans go i dont get it. Wheres the crime . Laura i thought the democrats cared about corruption. Up gcongressman jord, for three years almost youve been talking, they care about corruption. For the angle tonight i said they dont care about it at all. They care about getting power back. What chris just said is the central focus of the claims is the transcript that we all read today and nancy pelosi is going to base an impeachment on that document . Everyone should read it. I hope your viewers do because there was no quid pro quo and no for any favor. The whistleblower himself was not, as chris just said, had no firsthand knowledge and wasnt part of the call and i bet he hasnt even seen the transcript until today. But he did have a political bias against the president , that was clear. He told the Inspector General he was out to get the president. So thats what theyre basing it all on. Laura is there any of that in this complaint . Do you have any understanding about the political bias . People are going to be able to read it. If you read it, it is snarky and it claims something expansive that at the end of the day laura it sounds like the whistleblower is doing what some of the democrats are doing in discussing what this is all about. I mean, its a spin, always the worst possible light for the president. For sure. You can read it. Its pretty clear. Laura how long is it . U six or seven pages. Laura is that handwritten notes . Interview notesdeeped up . What is it . Laughing. Its funny, were kind of laughing. It looks like a fusion gps product. Its a very well organized, well written document that makes one supposition. But, again, its all based on this one thing. Laura so it is the phone call. T its not multiple other events . Earlier this week, there were multiple events involving this. This is wild. And arguable political bias. Who talks like that . You dont know that sounds like . Remember when they went to the fisa court and talked about the dossier candidate a, candidate b. Thats exactly what this souns like. An this is what nancy pelosi wants to base an impeachment inquiry on . President zelensky said he wasnt pushed. He said in a conversation i want to drain the swamp in ukraine just like youre draining it here. Krmr. President. Laura in russia they say [speaking russian] it was like that. Fromou just heard congressman stewart that we have this complaint, its all released, unredacted, declassified. You have the transcript which now theyre complaining about saying its not really a transcript. Its a conspiracy of the transcribers now. So what are you hearing tonight . Are they worried they might hava been over their skis a little bit, the democrats. Some democrats might be because of something congressman stewart just said, the whistleblower complaint was largely about the phone call that we have now seen this transcript on. Laura, you said there were news reports claiming that the whistleblower complaint was a whole lot more than the phone call. A series ofur incidents that may be led this whistleblower to complain, to speak out and say that there was a whole series of problems with the president. Congressman stewart now saying its largely about the call. I spoke to a Senior Administration officials tonight who told me that the other stuff the whistleblower talks about in the complaint is largely stuff you couldve gotten from news clippings. Stuff thats been in the public domain. Remember, and if the congressman can confirm it, originally a lot of people in the media presented this a couple days ago as this whistleblower inside the government saw things, you know, sort of up close that really alarmed him or her. But instead im hearing from a Senior Administration official this quoteunquote whistleblower heard about the call secondhand but heard about other things already in the public domain, not stuff that that whistleblower has firsthand knowledge of. Laura you can get lots of lawyers in washington, they are a dime a dozen, but isnt it a democrat activist lawyer for the whistleblower . Its not largely based on the transcript. Its entirely based. There are some reports, politico and the new york times. Laura these are legitimateel supposedly media organizations. Zero, nothing was firsthand knowledge of any of it. Laura none of this is an Impeachable Offense. Its ludicrous. Its looney tunes central. Im telling you, this is like im thinking of looney tunes cartoons. Remember, the little c. Panel, fantastic conversation as always. Thank you for the breaking news congressman jordan, ed. When trump is pushing for transparency in this whole ukraine ordeal, you would think some people would like get that corruption. But theres just one big mystery still left. Where isis hunter biden . The ingraham angle investigates next. Laura joe bidens son hunter is smack dab in the middle of this whole ukraine controversy. Im asking where the world is hunter biden . Why arent journalists desperately trying to find him interview him, staking outrn his location, where he lives . Have they hung up their pens and pads . Are they out of the News Business altogether . Not one media member finds it odd that hunter biden joined a Ukrainian Energy company, burisma, despite having zero oil and gas expertise . In there is no evidence of anything having to do with joe biden or his son. The president is speaking as if there is. The president is hoping that you will get distracted by that. Laura none of them wonder why he got paid an astronomical 600,000 a year fee to consult . Their strategy is now to try to put the onus on joe biden to in fact distract and attack. Laura surely red flags would go up when joe biden bragged about getting the prosecutor investigating his sons company fired, right . Joe bidens issue has been looked at for a long time. Theres been findings that there is no improper involvement. This is a distraction. Laura [laughs] nothing to see here. The real distraction is the medias refusal to cover this story. Joining me now, robert ray, former whitewater independent counsel. Byron york correspondent for the washington examiner, fox news contributor. Robert, from an investigator standpoint, all your experience in the legal world, one the most respected lawyers out there isnt the biden angle more troubling than what trump is accused of . Maybe having some, you know exuberance or ken starr and sol were saying bad judgment to bring it up in a phone call. Being accused of that versus what biden did . If anybody exercised mafialike tactics to strong arm the ukrainians, it was joe biden. Li now, what the purpose of all of that was, i suppose, is subject still to some debate. I do know that Rudy Giuliani feels very strongly that there is not only smoke out there in the ukraine but fire, as well, as to what exactly was going on with our wheress waldo candidate, hunter biden. Although i do think, if i can differ with you for just a moment, as an investigator or otherwise, my sense is, if joe biden remains the leading contender for the democratic nomination, and i r have my dous about whether or not that will continue, because this is going to implode on everybody. I dont think this issue is going to drop, and hunter biden and the Vice President s role in all of this is going to be looked at whether in an official capacity or an investigative capacity by journalists. This is an irresistible subject matter, and it will be delved into. Laura apparently, durham of course the special prosecutor looking into this, is now we found out today looking into the ukraine aspect of this pre2016 you know, all this funny business going on with perhaps the dossier and other dirt digging on President Trump. That seemed to be what the president was hinting at. Butng im not entirely sure i understand how that related. But somebody the only way i think that would have been obvious to the president would have been as a result of his discussions with Rudy Giuliani. Laura the crowdstrike issue. Maybe knows more than we do and ultimately somebodys going to find out about it. Laura lets go to byron. Byron, this has been a wild 48 hours. Seven lessons from 48 hours, it could have been 20. This has been whipped up into an absolute frenzy. Hunter biden, find it odd that hes not even giving an interview to a friendly news organization. Where is he . Where does he live . I dont know r i dont know. Weve been tracking him and, b apparently, last sighted in california, has lived in other locations. Maybe lived overseas for a while but hes living in california. We dont have what are called stake outs outside someones house . Ken starr would know a lot about that. It happened every day. Actually today James Lankford the republican senator on the Intelligence Committee in the senate said that an investigation of all this would have to start with the bidens because we hear all the time that theres absolutely noan evidence that joe biden did any of the stuff and yet we dont get the sense that people are digging very hard for it. So its going to have to change if democrats go ahead with what they are saying they are going to do which is to impeach the w president on this ukraine issue. Laura again, the fact that hunter biden has not appeared to give an interview on morning jou or, like a Friendly Forum where they maybe have coffee in the morning and hang out with herri your friend. Its bizarre, strange. He did do a story with the new yorker a few weeks ago and everybody thought it was kind of a preemptive story to tryto getf news they could out. Laura it wasnt great. It wasnt good but itprobabl, either. Laura not complete. I want to get back to this. Menendez, durbin, leahy wrote to ukraine demanding that they cooperate with investigations into the trump campaign. They heavily implied their support was to aid their aid to ukraine was at stake in all of this. So, ironically, robert ray, this is the exact behavior democrats say is an Impeachable Offense even without the explicit quid pro quo that you could say in a way exists with the democrat senators. What is this we are talking about . What this is about of course is about politics and much less about whether or not really there is an Impeachable Offense. I just listened recently ont another network to aoc essentially claim that a basis for impeachment is deviation t from our norms of democracy. We dont impeach president s based upon deviation from norms. Laura the must havee missed that in law school. And then the outer edges of their commentators claiming that this phone call represents the demise of our democracy. Im sorry. I beg to differ. There is no quid pro quo. There is no treason. There is no bribery because the federal bribery statute doesnt apply to Foreign Government officials. Theres no extortion e there is no quid pro quo and there is no Illegal Campaign contribution because its a department of justicewe learnedy appropriately found asking somebody to open investigation does not constitute a thing of value. Thank you, thank you. So end of story, there is no crime. Laura done, end of story. Byron, real quick. We are out of time. Where will it go next . Will they hit the magic number . E articles of empeachment. They are going to hit the magic number but the question is in 1998, the house voted to open a formal impeachment inquiry. 31 democrats sided with republicans voting that way about bill clinton. Nancy pelosi does not want to do that now. The rules do not require her to do that, but at some time, some democrats will have to cast a vote on this issue. Laura and they will have to go home to their constituents. Most districts, swing areas especially, key states do not want to. Byron, robert, phenomenal analysis. The impeachmentit gamut is ingested political play. It could cost them. How much are they risking . Doug schoen has all the details next. Laura so what will the followed be if the democrats fail in this impeachment gambit of theirs . Joining me now, doug d g schoen former advisor to president clinton. Harmeet dhillon, fox news contributor. 2020 advisory board. Doug, explain for our audience exactly what the democratsesta. They stand to lose the presidency and the house. N they could blow it all. And i worked for bill clinton in 98 and i saw the republicans overreaching on impeachment then. It hurt them in the 98 Congressional Elections when we ran on progress, not politics. You saw the video thats been shown of the democrats widely decrying the republicans overreaching and having read the transcripts, heard about what the whistleblower said, theres no slamdunk here. If they go forward with impeachment inquiry, which i dont think its clear yet, but if they gonqnq forward and then vote, it could be curtains for the democrats. And for joe biden, this is calamitous news because this precludes him getting any positive message out. Laura im going to get to whats going too happen in certain swing districts in a second, but harmeet, nancy pelosi, 1998 she was basically saying that the American People dont want this, dont need it. Its fun to see nancy 20 years ago. We all looked younger. People are paralyzed with hatred, okay, because of their impeachment quest. Pot meet kettle. Harmeet, any irony here . Those o. Irony i think is beyond these folks. They are unprincipled and desperate and its reflected in their actions here. Ive been saying for the last three years nancy pelosi has been one of the voices of reason in the democratic party. Shes very shrewd. I dont think she wanted to do this but i think she felt like she was being cornered by the leftwing of her party and she gave in. T i think its going to go down in history as one of the dark days of her political judgment and in going along with this because as doug just said, the American People dont want it. The facts dont support it. This whistleblower complaint sounds to me like it was written by fusion gps. And its really going to end up drawing very negative attention to the front runner in the democratic race and really undermine the credibility. Laura okay, take biden out of it. Every poll including the newest ones released today, quinnipiac, we will put the numbers up. Its not where people want to go. This is it. Its this transcript. Wewe heard the whistleblower complaint is based on that transcript. We thats it. Okay . Look at these numbers. Look at these numbers for registered voters only 37 want impeachment. The people that areo vote. Doug, lets skip to Orange County. Lets go to Orange County a little bit down the coast from harmeet. Shes up in san fran with the fun people. Down in orange counte swing districts, we were all kind of demoralized republicans, all these republican districts all flipped democrat. They all promise to be bipartisan. We are going to work with the president where we can agree. They have done none of that and now theyre all voting for impeachment . How is that going to work for california . Are you kidding me . Those districts were very very close. Two and three in Orange County the democrats won by 1 or less and candidly, given those independent numbers which were 34 yes, 58 no, its a red flag and i want the democrats to win laura. You know that. I worked for some of those through an independent expenditure. This would be a really bad move forr those democrats. Laura they already came now the favors of this inquire rye. Theyve already given the nod. They havent voted yet. They. Laura i think, harmeet you have to force a vote but my guess, if i have to guess and its just a guess, pelosi is going to step back from this cliff. She is smarter than this. It cant be this easy for us,fo. Laura, these lemmings are rushing over the cliff while nancy is trying to slow play it. I dont think she can stop this train. I think she wants to. But i think theyve gone too far. Laura got to go, got to go. Aoc says its extortion. Thats it, end of story. Shes g. Coming up, Raymond Arroyo is here with a special seen and unseen impeachment a edition. Time for our seen and unseen segment. Raymond arroyo and i go headtohead. Youve heard of a bakeoff, this is an impeachoff. Ray, you looked at the Media Coverage of this entire bogus claim of wrongdoing and this phone callf they say rises to impeachment. We rooked at the way the media covered the last president ial impeachment. Watch the restraint, the caution, even the emmaty the media had when bill clinton was the subject of congressional inquiry in 1991234508 in washington this evening, the supporters of the president of reeling. Much of the focus in washington son tharying of his videotaped grand jury testimony. Shortly after the jurors were sworn, the president unveiled a new education proposal. After a lifetime of striving forr a celebrated rank of american president this diligent student of history was handed his place. That is hill lar zeus compare that to the hilarious. Compare that to lately. This came up a few minutes ago really, the president isnt telling the truth. This is worse than i think people expected. Republicans on the hill loathe, loathe, i cant say it enough, they loathe donald trump. They loathe the media and this, that flash back is worth of price of admission. Had n is judge, jury and executioner. The media showed such restraint, caring and empathy when they reported bill clinton, this is why, i believe when you look at the polls, they found of all the institutions of america the press was lowest in confidence among people. Laura shocker. Raymond and it is dropping, news list co compiled a list of 81 things President Trump should be impeached for. Because he called some countries sholes. Because the Virginia Governor wore black face. And for creating chaos. Theyve done a horrible job of explaining impeachable defenses and offered silly offenses up and they go unchallenged. We should do on other impeach off. I guess the back face was about northham. Trump somehow inspired northham back in college days. That doesnt even make sense. An imoff, ail go first. The president wore golf attire into a church in northern virginia, clearly breaching president ial protocol and offensives to god, man and the constitution. I believe the president shamelessly subverted an under mined authority of the park service when heic allowed this 11yearold civilian to cut the white house lawn in 2017. Did he break under aged worker laws . Did the president pay taxes on the tip he gave the child. A congressional inquiry of lawn gate is needed. Did he pay taxes on the tip . What about thing length of his ties,bo raymond. I find itable that the tie goes a lily the belt, meaning in a fire emergency cocause danger to other business tripping and would cause harm to the nation. Clearly an Impeachable Offense. What if last week we saw the photographic evidence the president is careless with money. Look at this video. No wallet, no paper clip no money clip, no rubber band, the president just shoved currency in his back pocket, clearly he is ready to bribe somebody. They will have to immediately inquire. Won the impeachoff. Thank you. Laura its time for the last time for the last bite. While she is surging in the polls and the media isnt held by her every word, elizabeth ward was caught off guard when a reporter asked her this. With your Vice President spy on policys phone conversations. I have to go back and look. Can i buy a vowel. He doesnt have a plan for that. Good for that reporter. We will find out who that is. Shannon bream, take it from here. We will find something. We begin with a fox news alert. The focus turns to the whistleblower and acting director of National Intelligence set to testify in just hours. We are digging in about the details of what the whtl
