momentarily, neil. neil: i can t imagine he would pass up an opportunity. we shall see. blake burman at the white house. so for democrats pushing impeachment and pushing this big event today, do they regret it? depends who you are. former deputy assistant to the attorney general, tom dupree. what do you make of just how this all went down? it has to be a massive disappointment for the democrats. they wanted a rock solid performance by robert mueller today. that s not what they got. bob mueller was not what i anticipated. he was halted. he was hesitant. he seemed disconnected from key aspects of his own report. even when they ride to get him to confirm things in the report, you think would be low hanging fruit, he stumbled and asked for pages. he wouldn t give the democrats the one thing that they wanted, which is the statement that in his mind, the president
especially the democrats. i wish we could be a fly on the wall in those rooms where the democrats would go and talk before and after meetings. they would be laughing and smiling and say can you believe that we re getting away with this? but in the end, they didn t get away with it. there is no such thing. he didn t have the right to exonerate. you know, it s very interesting. people mentioned exoneration. that was something where he totally folded. he never had the right to exonerate. it was covered very well by congressman turner and put to a conclusion. we were if you take a look at not only the report, beyond the report. take a look at not what he said but what he was forced to say. even your networks and your network and your network and
he s answering reporters questions right now on this and other situations. we ll bring that to you live very soon. to hillary vaughn on capitol hill on how this is spinning out, hi, hillary. hi, neil. some house democrats are doing a victory lap trying to hype up their caucus following testimony from former special counsel robert mueller because they think that they effectively made the case to the american people for impeachment. one person they have not convinced is nancy pelosi who told our fox team today that she only tuned in a little bit to the testimony and democratic congressman al green also telling fox that what was missing from today s team was a wow moment. other democrats in the hearing room today had a different view of how things played out for their party. for people that have read the mueller report or followed the issues, this was not surprising. for people that did not, this should have blown their mind. ultimately a majority of our
it wasn t neil: he did not say outright obstruction. he didn t charge the president with that. he echoed what he did in the report. it wasn t enough either way to go. the reason i point out that distinction, did it move the needle? is it going to change anything? if you like the president, you still do. if you dislike him, you still do. i like the weekend at bernie s analogy. clearly mueller wasn t in the house. this will not move the needle. this was a huge loss for the democrats and the anti-trump media. they hung their hat on the russian collusion and that there s a there there. that adam schiff said there was more evidence out there that he knew about. there s nothing there. today was even more proof of that. mueller did not show up. he wasn t in the house. he appeared weak.
records. that s fine. you re biassed about the market. i m kidding. kevin, let me get a sense of relief that was hearing from some of the candidates running. in their heart of hearts, they don t want this thing dragging on. what do you think of that? i d agree and most americans do as well. we re tired of this. it s been three years. what is in the report is in the report. we didn t get anything new. polls have shown that election interference is well beneath other issues in terms of importance in the minds of voters, democrats and republicans. what people want to hear about is healthcare, immigration, climate change with the younger people. i don t want democrats to take the bait here. we need to focus on those issues to beat trump in 2020, not on the mueller report, collusion issue. that won t be a winner for us. neil: we shall see. i apologize. two live developments we re waiting for. one from the president whether
