brought in the lens and look at it from the president s perspective coming coming coming back again, i don t like foreign aid, i don t like that the european allies are not doing their part. sandra: testimony set to resume any moment now. a few minutes ago, the two witnesses, fiona hill and david holmes, walked into the room and took their seats. but then they walked back out of the room. perhaps that s because the lawmakers had not returned from the series of votes. we are going to return to the impeachment hearing on capitol hill as soon as it is underway. we will take a quick break and we will be right back. saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong.
see fiona hill come down the hallway. she and david holmes will be seated back at the table in a matter of moments here, and then they will be the republicans turn to begin their cross-examination. we expect some questions from devin nunes before he hands it off to the republican attorney, and then we will go into 5-minute q&a segments for all the lawmakers, about 22 in total. it s going to go on for a while. let s pause right now for stations across the country. this is fox news coverage of the impeachment hearings come a day 5. i am bill hemmer in new york city. good afternoon, everyone. just a tick past 1:00 in the afternoon, as we watch a gavel to order on day 5 of. fiona hill and david holmes, two of the only witnesses at the table that you will see today. it might be the end of the hearings after today. there has been no announcement for any witnesses after today. to bret baier, my colleague in washington, on what we can expect now. bret?
right here, chad, when they happen. this will happen when in fact happens. what will happen is the republicans have their 45-minute tranche of questions. steve castor, the council for the republicans, will pose questions to fiona hill and david holmes, the witnesses, along with devin nunes. then the house will be done with wood and probably until early december. your members will be out of town for thanksgiving, so they should be able to forge ahead than with that second round of 5-minute questions where they toggle through the 21 members on both sides of the aisle. the other issue is how democrats and republicans portray this over the break. which side is up, which site is down? most importantly, which narrative scripts with the public. which narrative sticks? to be have any polling that comes out over thanksgiving? is this a conversation over turkey and stuffing and apple pie that sinks giving dinnertable is a source of argument over the recess? we don t know.
short time ago, giving perhaps a little hint on what might be coming next. here s the speaker. we aren t finished yet. the day is not over. you never know what testimony of one person may lead to the need for testimony of another, as we saw with ambassador taylor at the beginning of last week, bringing forth mr. holmes today. again, that will be a judgment made by the committees of jurisdiction. the sandra: not over yet, more witnesses make space might be to come. what did you take from that, bret can max be when i m at the take it to 30,000 feet. to her point, there s a process. to go through committee, there s a vote, there s article of impeachment that go through the house is your committee. and then the house floor, that goes over to the sender for the trial. the 30,000-foot perspective, if people are watching this and they think, oh, my gosh, our government is in chaos, this is nuts, there is a process. at this hour, and about 14 minutes, the israeli attorney general is goin
democrats because, in terms of connecting not only president trump to this so called quid pro quo, or with the democrats now often called bribery, but i think if you go beyond that to what we just heard this morning from fiona hill, from david holmes, i think you see the larger issue here that these are people inside the white house. people with intimate knowledge, people inside the embassy in the ukraine, who say they understood exactly what we heard yesterday, that there was this quid pro quo. that everybody was in the loop. bill: take the evidence you ve heard today from the witness, david holmes, there. describing overhearing a conversation on a cell phone, on behalf of the e.u. ambassador. and he described the voice as loud, and the investor had to pull the phone away from his ear and winced. you go from that to impeachment. i m not making that connection. i m saying what you have here is
