A new cbs drama about jim comey. And a brandnew stage reading of the peter strzok and lisa page it left texas, i kid you not. Seen and unseen, i had to. But first, House Democrats continue to ignore longstanding precedent for impeachment and i want to clearly lay out three possibilities. One, they can hold a vote authorizing impeachment. That will do best process for the president. If that would be positive we would cooperate. Can we just saved that the republican party, and treated extremely badly by the democra democrats. A tiny margin in the house and they have eviscerated the rules. Cant have lawyers and cant speak. If democrats refuse that brings us to option number two. Take the fight to court. At least in court there is a process, which would be a novelty for the democrats. The whole thing is a scam, and its fix. That will be a Supreme Court case, the media goes a long time. Laura then theres option number three. That will be the 2020 election. But i think we know why the democrats dont want to do that. They see a president engaged in this fight, and he is almost relishing it. President trump its lucky that i am the president because a lot of the people said that very few people could handle it. I thrive on it. Laura that has democrats worried. Plus it has become increasingly clear that they dont know what they are doing. They must make it up as they go along and they are hoping that you with the voters dont take notice, and you take impeachme impeachment, seriously, as seriously as they do . It drives down trumps approval rating. Cease work on things like the usmca, prescription drugs, border security, infrastructure and et cetera. Then let the president s agenda basically suffered for months. They cant run against trumps record of economic success so they are trying to sabotage them. Maybe even the economy. This isnt just demented, damaging the country but the strategy could totally backfire on the left. Joining me now, alan dershowitz, a harvard Professor Emeritus and author of the new book. Former Deputy Assistant attorney general. Allen, there has been a lot of handwringing from the democrats over the white houses letter. Suddenly they are worried about the process being political but no one seems to care. The democrats are ignoring longstanding norms. Didnt system of checks and balances is working quite efficiently. The democrats control the house and they are playing politics with impeachment. The president controls the executive branch and he says, im not going to cooperate, now its all up to the courts. The courts are the ultimate checks and balance big on any disputes between the executive and legislative branches. So if Congress Wants to get information, they have to go to court and they have to justify the demands, and the executive branch will say no, thats privileged. Or this is unjustified. Its all laid out in the letter. The lawyer comic letter is a lawyers letter saying the adversary system is operating. We arent going to give in and thats just the way i would handle a client, if i had a client who was subpoenaed, and i would say no, im not going to gcomply, and go to court. The system of checks and balances is working just fine. We are seeing the constitution operate the way the framers intended it to operate. Laura the democrats are actually arguing. And each of you, i want you to hit this. That an aggressive posture on the part of the White House Counsels Office is tantamount to obstruction of justice. So i thought these people were a liberal first of all. They used to be for the defendants. But now they are actually saying its obstruction, not just give them any comic everything they want. They dont just say its tantamount, they say it is obstruction of justice. And it goes hat in hand with the other things that they are now saying. The president doesnt have the right for there to be a and and this they are willing to shop dumb i could do that to the detriment of future president s and future proceedings in the house with legitimacy of both of these branches of the government. So that is how hellbent they are on destruction. Laura lets go to tom. Hillary clinton says the charges against trump are way worse than anything rossman might have done. This is a much more serious set of charges then anything that was ever put forward against the bill. And i think the American People got that. This is no longer about the crazy stuff he says and does that everybody shrugs at or worries about. This is a direct threat to the National Security of america. In my book, obstructing justice and under oath it is a pretty serious offense. Absent a vote of the House Majority to open this inquiry, and precisely because they didnt want impeachment to be driven by a olfaction, and to me its extraordinary on it pushing this process forward on the approval of the house of representatives. The fact is, the constitution text doesnt spell out exactly the procedures that have to be followed but i think its pretty clear. From the majority requirement to the super majority requirement the framers have a chief justice presiding at the trial that they wont to want them to put on the defense and if impeachment moves forward it does so based on if not consensus, at least broad support within both houses of congress. Laura i think we all want to see this. They may not uncover any new core allegations, but they will further support and shed light on that thing that we have been pursuing from the beginning and that makes it a much stronger case. Heres the difference between this world and the world they were in. This isnt legal, its politic political. Its exactly the opposite. We have a column in the wall street journal sing the framers did not want impeachment to be political in the sense of part of same. Hamilton in federalist 65 said he doesnt wanted to component them i could depend on the comparative strength and he wants it to depend on the guilt or innocence of the accused with at least a criminal like behavior and weve seen nothing this here. Saying that mallet administration of office, thats enough for impeachment. And madison said that would turn us into britain. We just have a vote of nonconfidence. We are a republic with a strong president and you nee need to he impeachable offenses as defined in the constitution. Yes, the president is not above the law but congress is not above the law. They cannot impeach unless the constitutional criteria are explicitly met. Laura democrats are becoming increasingly aggressive when it comes to how they want trumps staff, anyone who has touched the supposedly impeachable offense, and how they should be dealt with. I think its time to call in the arms and march them to our little jail. We are trying to figure out, is that the d. C. Police that come to get them. He needs to be in prison and placed in solitary confinement. Laura we are talking about constitutional crisis. This is fantasy land but they really want that. They can taste that. These people are ignoramuses. Thats not how it works in real life, they have to get the u. S. Attorneys office to come in and do this job. The house pokey they are referring to was eliminating some time ago because it violates due process. These people have no sense of history and at no of shame. And this is purely political and these people are shameless. These people will look back on this episode and how the democrats abandon themselves and they will look at it in shame. The republicans are in charge of the house and a democratic president. I thought it was frightening and scary and im a whistleblower, i find it was it runs to the house of representatives. I think people seem to have a different view when the she was on the the other foot. Pounding the table and fisting on his robust due process, and they are now nowhere to be heard. I am neutral, nonpolitical. I defend the constitution. The original title of my book, the case against impeaching trump was the case against impeaching clinton because i thought she would get impeached if she were elected. I am trying to be absolutely neutral. If i had written a case against impeaching Hillary Clinton they would build a statue for me. Thank you so much panel. The white houses latest actions, sending a scathing letter to the democrats and team trump hiring trey gowdy as legal counsel. And putting together an action plan. House republicans are doing the same, working together to defend the trump agenda joining us now congressman scalise, how long can democrats run the sham for the boat . For the last two weeks members have been backing their districts, lots of these vulnerable members. 31 democrats are in district that donald trump one are going back home and are hearing from constituents going, you are seriously trying to impeach the president . They are asking pelosi these questions going, you and adam schiff are willingly trying to take away the will of the voters and they will have an opportunity in 2022 pick the next president. Pelosi and schiff are trying to take that away from them. You cant even question your accusers, you cant even have basics similar rights, due process, that every impeachment has had. Every impeachment. Only three in the history of our country and all of them have started with a vote in the house. Pelosi has bypassed about because shes trying to shield and hide at this vote from her members. Laura your colleague called out adam schiff for keeping former ukraine envoy kurt volkers testimony under lock and key. Adam schiff, release the transcript so they can see what ambassador vogler spent nine hours telling us where he said there was no quid pro quo, no linkage whatsoever between assistance dollars for ukraine and any type of investigation into anyone in the ukraine or the bidens. Instead, there were 67 pages of Text Messages. Adam schiff took a few of those Text Messages and release them, release them all. Statement do you have confidence congressmen that you will see the full transcripts from secret hearings . Gosh, i sure hope so. I was in the room for that transcribed interview and it was a marathon session of the American Public would learn a lot of facts that adam schiff isnt telling us. What adam schiff chooses to cherry pick texts, not disclose key facts, he is depriving the American Public from getting the ability to form their own independent judgment on important things. For example, adam schiff says that donald trump demanded that president zelensky manufactured dirt on the bidens. Ambassador vogler absolutely and emphatically said that was not true. Passionately said that wasnt true. He testified exceptionally and professionally. When adam schiff is talking about a quid pro quo fairy tale charge of the United States linking aid to the ukraine, to an investigation into the bidens, and best herbal court idea, and on the transcript there was no reference to a hold on ada. In the readouts after that call both on the ukraine side and the u. S. Side there is no reference to a quid pro quo or hold on ada. Theres no reference to a hold on ada or a quid pro quo. In the weeks that followed that, the ukraine government makes no reference to investor volker about a hold on ada. Ambassador volker testified that the hold was going to get released and the aide was going to the ukraine and it got released. All of this stuff would be known to you and would be known to your viewers if adam schiff instead of cherry picking facts put it all out there. Thats why we have to be there at these transcribed interviews because if we boycotted them i wouldnt even be able to share with you what really is what amounts to the other 99 of the story. Laura if im hearing them correctly, they are saying that you dont even need a quid pro quo. So the goal goalpost keep shifting. They lied about what was in the transcript, that was all made up. And it now obviously there is no quid pro quo because never in any conversation did the president link ada. So now hes meddling in the next election or is trying to metal in the election, interfere with the 2020 election. Thats where they are going with this, using a foreign power to interfere with the next election. So thats how they are moving. But it doesnt matter because they dont have any kind of investigation or vote because they are just not going to do that. They know where its going to lead to. Its getting this bad, congressman scalise, that joe biden and susan rice are talking about, you cant put stuff on a classified server. You cant put call transcripts on a classified server. Watch. The tried to cover it up by hiding the evidence, classifying like no other president has tried to classify these conversations. Unless they were legitimately in their content classified. Laura and congressman scalise, do you find that rich given what happened is during years with private servers and stuff we never saw . I mean bleach servers, we cant even find some of the stuff that they did. Joe biden is talking about integrity and he wont even answer questions about what was going on not only with ukraine contacts but china contracts. This whole thing stinks. Theyve been doing a good job getting the facts out there and saying release the volker transcripts. You wonder why some of these transcripts by the way when a president is talking to a foreign leader, the idea that partisans, people who, as we know in reports right now, that the socalled whistleblower had an actual partisan leaning and is tied to a democrat cant i get for the president of the United States. And you wonder why they move the stuff to a classified server. The president is trying to root out corruption related to the 2016 elections. Which obama was a president when the russians try to interfere and trump is trying to route it out so it doesnt happen again. Pelosi is the one trying to make this about he is trying to impeach this president with no justified reason. Laura do you think adam schiff will be censured . Yes or no . I think the democrats are going to cover for them. We are seeing the entire Democratic Congress eagerly ripping the country and half right now. They are hijacking the priorities of my constituents and the American Public to appease a highly radical base. This is about a pledge to resist, oppose, appease and instruct everything. They will cover for adam schiffs lies time and again. So i dont think there will be a censure because the old House Democrats and the majority, they will cover it. Laura thank you so much. Coming up, it is Hillary Clinton really going to run again . All you have to tell what shes telling the media about her chances. Dan bongino and chris hahn debate, next. Laura this impeachment pushes creating some odd moments for the 2020 democrats. First up, biden is trailing for the first time in the real clear politics polling average and hes finally caving on impeachment. No president in American History has ever date to engage in such imaginal behavior. In full front of the view of the American People. Donald trump has violated his open loft. To violate our constitution, our basic integrity, he should be impeached. Laura catching up with the radicals. And second, Hillary Clinton just cant help yourself, sensing weakness in the 2020 field. May be there does need to be every match. Obviously i can beat him again. I dont think anyone understands what motivates him other than personal grievance, other than seeking adulation. Laura is she joking, by the way . I cant tell. [laughs] in this debate here tonight we will get to the bottom of it. Dan bongino, former circuits secret Service Agent and fox news contributor, along with chris hahn, radio host and former aide to senator chuck schumer. All right dan, polls are showing support for impeachment and the polls are not going in the way the president wants them to go. If you believe the polls, or dont believe the polls, including a poll done by fox news. A dozen voters called randomly on cell phones and home phones, supposedly 51 say they want the president either impeached or removed. So. Is joe just riding the wave here or whats going on. He is but remember his Approval Ratings held relatively steady. I dont mean to make light of any of it, and total fabrications about quid pro quo that happened, its actually stunning those numbers arent higher. If any president was subjected to the litany of information, the democrats cant tell the truth either. Literally but not figuratively, make up the narrative about what was on the phone call. So i wouldnt panic about any of those numbers. Laura are you concerned about a process that does not allow fact witnesses to even bring Agency Counsel with him or her during an interview on capitol hill . Well, this is basically the grand jury portion of this investigation and, believe me he will be a trial in the senate and he will be impeached. Im all for having a vote and lets get rid of this stupid talking point. Lets do it right now. Lets not have congress go on anymore vacations until they get through if goal impeachment inquiry. I think the American People want to see this, this fox news poll says 51 want to see him impeached and removed. Its interesting, the numbers have moved a great deal in the last few weeks. They did not like the fact that the president of the United States have used his office to influence a Foreign Government to interfere in this election. Its ridiculous and this needs to be heard. That was never sad in the transcript and never indicated in the transcript. But what chris just said is an example, thing and, of what has been quite successful on the part of democrats. Repeating enough times of the proposition is not indicated in the transcript and that the principal players say it did not happen. And yet you say it enough times, then say you cant do that. So thats what has happened. I wonder with chris sometimes. Does he genuinely not know what hes talking about or is he just lying . Not even kidding, did he not read the transcript . Chris can read. Hes not stupid. So with the transcript, which by the way, the whistleblower himself as noted was a direct transcript. It has indicated and he expects all of us to buy it. He asked for a favor to investigate but you didnt read the transcript. Stop humiliating yourself and you are lying. So the ukrainian president he would like to buy some more present comic weapons from us. The president says i would like to do us a favor. And that is holding military aid over the ukrainian head. I encourage everyone to read the transcript right now. You are very impassioned but theres a disconnect between the factual predicate. Do you know what the javelins are that were referenced in the line before the president said it, id like you to do me a favor . What are javelins and what were they part of . They are part of a weapons package that the ukraine was trying to buy from the United States of america. And then they said i would like you to do us a favor. Liberals tend to yell over others and im not yelling. What im asking you is the Javelin Missile Program that they wanted to buy more of had already been authorized. They merely wanted to buy more. This is not a controversial buy. The president was talking in general about corruption in the ukraine. The javelins were a separate conversation and that is about buying weaponry. Its not unaided. When you proclaim so confidently you must know that factual predicate which you dont know. Can you clarify something for me . Is there one other american citizen that the president is trying to get investigated around the world for corruption other than his political opponents . Because i would like to know who that is. Can you clarify that for me . Laura they dont have facts. All right, chris and dan, thanks so much. Raymond arroyo with seen and unseen next will laura its time for our seen and unseen segment where we expose cultural stories of the day. A comedian tries to be civil, some dramatic politics and the pope considers overturning, no big deal, just church discipline. Joining us as raymond arroyo. All heck broke loose when ellen did generous who is pretty liberal, with george w. Bush, who is also pretty liberal. A former republican president and very nice guy. At they were together at the football game. Why are people so upset about this . The problem was the partisans couldnt get past the idea that alan, this hollywood liberal icon would dare to sit next to the president. So twitter exploded once that picture of the pair was out there. Be one he looks just like his dad. Someone tweeted ellen did elg out with someone who try to ruin our community. And that was one of the nicer tweets. It got so nasty that ellen dedicated her show monologue to the topic. Heres the thing, im friends with george bush, and a friends with lots of people that dont show the same beliefs i have. We are all different. When i say be kind to one another i dont just mean the people that believe the same as you do, i need to be kind to everyone. It doesnt matter. Laura let me tell you, thats why she is a success. This is why when oprah, was not political, was so successful. People dont care about politics. I hate to break it to twitter. Its your ridiculous so that we have to celebrate a public figure bringing people together just by being civil. In this political age where relationships have been destroyed and friendships have been cast aside all in the name of politics, ellen has been seen as revolutionary. Shes always pretty nice to most people. But, who cares if shes liberal . Shes funny and has a good show. The politics are in the backseat. Now politics is being dramatized everywhere these days. Cbs has announced that they have cast a new miniseries based on former fbi director mike director james comeys memoir. Actor jeff daniels will play comey. Brendan gleason will played donald trump and maggie smith will play the role of adam schiff. They do that with republican. So whats good for the goose is good for the gander. And peter strzok was released this week and its called fbi lovebirds, at stars supermans dean cain and buffy the vampires player kristy swanson. I just went to a southern virginia walmart and i could smell the trump support. Its scary real down here. Vomit. Vomit. I brought all the president s men in, figured i needed to brush up on watergate. Meanwhile, we have our task at hand. Our task at hand. It reminds you by the way those are verbatim texts from these two. And their devotion to leaking tidbits to the press and then seeing their names in the press, its scary. That is all online. We want why dont we do this . Speaking of comedy and tragedy, the pope launched a vatican meeting, a bishop focused on amazon this week. The video of the kickoff event was frightening. As you see here, what, raymond, the Prayer Service . It features amazon tribes in front of the pope and the cardinals and at one point amazonians bow down to these crude wooden carvings. The organizers say they depict the virgin mary and elizabeth, and they claim its actually an image of a fertility deity. For earth mother. Whatever it is, its bizarre and getting a lot of complaint. Laura what is the point of this . Its about looking at the amazon, and the real focus of it, its being driven by the german cardinals. What they want us to open up celibacy. They want to wipe away because they say that amazon doesnt have enough priests and if you ordain married men you will have priests available. Laura could you have divorced priests then . Who knows. But its whipping up controversy and concern. Laura there was something that depiction of the earth mother. He left that out. We will save that for another edition. Raymond, i guess, thank you. Laura up next, the christian case for trumped under attack by the medias sharks. At this time a notre dames campus, a shocking story of bigotry and defamation in moments. Speak to our evangelicals are here tonight and they are all over the place and what we have done for them in religion so important. You know the other side, i dont think they are big believers, not big believers in religion. That torqued off a lot of people. The evangelical vote was crucial. According to pew research, 81 of white evangelical christians voted for him last time around. Now one of his prominent christian supporters, ralph reed, is up under fire for the original title of his new book. Political reporting render to god and trump ralph reed calls for 2020, obedience to trump. While the title has since been changed, the controversy persists. Joining me now to exclusively respond is ralph rita. This is obviously a ploy by you to send heads blowing off of the liberal body is, just so you get publicity for your book. Can you just forget that right t now . I wish i could claim to be that smart but all i was doing was referencing christs teaching in the book of matthew when it was actually one of the last parables he told before his arrest and crucifixions when the pharisee tried to trick him by asking him if and occupied judeo and samaria should pay taxes to occupy to caesar and said render to god what is gods and caesar what is caesars. My point in the modern play is laura if anyone can its not that hard to follow. Ralph reed is an evangelical person. Only the liberal media could take a teaching of christ in which he says your life, your heart and your soul to god and twist that into me telling people to be obedient to trump. But im urging them to do, laura, is to be obedient to the scriptural call to advance the good and resist evil. The good means the sanctity of human life, the survival and prosperity of the state of israel and of the sanctity of the traditional family. On those emails, it is irrefutable that he has not only been a champion for every one of those greater goods, he has fought for them. Laura he has been the best prolife president. I work for president reagan and trump was. They are the usual suspects on the left which are trying to tar the religious community for supporting trump. Usa today specifically. Sophia nelson writing as an evangelical christian, is a generation of largely white male evangelical persons and personalities destroyed . They destroy their code credibility and i think the answer is a resounding yes. So thats the deal. Anyone who is christian or a faithful catholic supports trump and evangelical, you are done. You have no credibility and thats what you are doing to try to blunt the force of trump in that community as a whole. B and as i discuss in my book which isnt even finished yet, so i think it was interesting that political sid politico sais writing about when im still writing. In the end this isnt about donald trump, its about the principles for which he stands in those principles preceded him by thousands of years and they will live on beyond him for thousands of years. We as men and women of faith are called enhance those things whether they are popular or unpopular. And i will tell you something else. They gave the lie to the fact that the smearing of trump is based on his tweets and the occasional insult. When they tried to take down a perfect gentleman and altar boy like brett kavanaugh, the fact is if you stand for life and religious freedom in the state of israel and the sanctity of the traditional family, they will try to destroy you and smear your good name and destroy your family. I dont care if you ever send out a tweet, its open season on those who hold to those principles. Laura ralph, thank you so much. I should say that evangelical support today for trump is very strong. He has a 71 approval rating. I think it was a really clever ploy. Great to see you, i cant wait to read your book. We have a lot more to get to. Notre dame is known as perhaps the nations premier Catholic University but given some recent events there are many are wondering if the fighting irish are actually fighting faith, as in their own. A group of student activists have put up these disgusting posts around campus blaming staff, faculty and certain alumni for violence against gay the community. Then they took it a step further posting this sick video online. The blood on your names did not come from you or the hate groups that youve been inviting to speak on campus. It was our loved ones. Your opinion seep into churches and culture, they diffuse like venomous gas from every outlet. Thats a very nature of discourse. Laura joining me now as william dempsey, director of sycamore trust. One of the groups targeted by these radicals. You are head of this alumni group, conservative catholics called the sycamore trust. Your group was targeted. You displayed at there, and i had in a group alumni that is concerned about the attenuation and we do support Church Teaching with respect to homosexuals and homosexual and marriage and that teaching of course has two branches. It includes primary teaching and the obligation to accord charity, and on the other hand, it opposes as intrinsically immoral homosexual. Im not here to defend that, im talking to talk about basic civility on campus. The distressing thing about it, its hard to imagine this at notre dame, nothing like this has happened at notre dame before. You might think of it as a more radical campus but the really distressing thing about it is, in action, of the president of the university of notre dame. Laura we wrote to him asking for him to i guess take some action, paul brown. And he responded by saying when the sign burst was displayed on campus that was quickly taken down by the Notre Dame Police department. A subsequent request for permission to display the sign on campus was denied by the university. Now. If this sign had been directed toward a app, lets say more politically correct group, and slurs or damaging comments, using the image of blood, do you think that is all that would have happened with mr. Brown, is that all he would have done . Those students would have been out of the dormitories with their computers thrown out the window after them, as soon as that had the main building. This is really, really unbelievable. Jenkins is he didnt give us a response. He said nothing as you will observe about that video and it should have been taken down immediately. But it was still out there as of yesterday. Laura you actually said this is tantamount because individual students were named who are currently at the school. You are a young man but you are not a student anymore. But these are kids who will try to get jobs, apply for jobs and want to work in the workforce, at some point. I think this is an effort to intimidate them, harass them and smear them. So they are unemployable deplorables. So i put it up on screen, this is section 35 through 45. The threat is communicated using property, including electronic equipment or systems of a school corporation. A threat means expression by words or action of intention to expose a person. Threaten to hatred, contempt, disgrace or ridicule and who falsely harm the credit or business reputation of a person. I think both of those subsections are implicated in the way this was done. People think this was just a college campus, big deal. And he say to them . While there are overtones of violence in these displays. They are talking about the slitting of our loved ones throats. You have a beating by a crowbar, the images and names of the student authors. Meeting with the crowbar. It doesnt anyone think of Virginia Tech in this situation . Isnt there an obligation to do Everything Possible to maintain the safety of students . Laura there is a double standard and we all know it, and we didnt think it was going to happen at notre dame. And that was giving news on abortion of course, that was a shock to many alumni and traditional catholic students at notre dame. Mr. Dempsey, thank you very much for joining us. Blackouts. No food in the stores and gas lines for miles. Its not the apocalypse, just life in one liberal state. The last bite, next. Vo . I searched for someone who really knew my car. I found the experts at safelite autoglass. Woman hi vo with their exclusive technology, they fixed my windshield. Then recalibrated the camera attached to my glass so my Safety Systems still work. Who knew that was a thing . woman safelite has service i can trust. Singers safelite repair, safelite replace. Laura its time for the last bite. There are a lot of dim bulbs in the california government. Now there are bulbs not working at all because of idiotic policies . Well, follow for onions are literally in the dark californians are literally in the dark. We will continue those phase in power shut ups because of the weather conditions and ground conditions that are occurring here in northern california. Laura nearly a million californians are without power in anticipation of high winds and wildfires and it could be that way for at least a week. Residents are obviously not happy. They are tweeting about it. Here are a few of the tweets. Whats going on with the power outage . Democrats want to turn our country into a third world dumping ground. This is in calcutta, its california. Why do the people put up with this foolishness . Pathetic and unbelievable. Poweroutage. This one, help, power down the californians taken hostage by a bank route Power Company there are a lot of jokes in the candlelight, the golden state becomes a little bit darker. All the time we have today. Shannon bream bream and the Fox News Night Team have all the power and they take it from here. Shannon President Trump news tonight about possibly cooperating with House Democrats on the impeachment inquiry. What hes saying about what it would take. Weve got the latest, but well break the latest down on polling on impeachment. Breaking tonight, two isis militants believed to be part of a group that. An american journalist are now in u. S. Custody, moved out of syria as Turkish Forces begin operations in that region
