And Bernie Sanders, after a week of denying it, he said yes, he does admit now that he does think, quote, gender is an obstacle for female candidates when it comes to taking on trump. That debate tonight. To actor Robert De Niro saying the situation under President Trump is so dire, that actors do have a right to speak out. After comedian Ricky Gervais criticized actors talking politics. But where are celebrities and talk about what is going on this the backyard, silence as California Governor Gavin Newsom admits that California Democrats failed on californias out of control homeless crisis. That story tonight. To boarder border security. I. C. E. Ratcheting up heat on the democrat mayor of new york city and sanctuary policies. I. C. E. Releasing a new list showing thousands of illegal aliens the let go with long history of violent crimes. Tonight how i. C. E. Is fighting back. Thanks for joining us. Im elisabeth mcdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Liz welcome to the show. Youre watching the fox business network. A new gallup poll shows most americans, 51 say President Trump should not be removed from office by impeachment. The gallup poll finding the president s Approval Rating sticking at 44 , slightly higher than his rating in early fall when the impeachment proceedings began. The president at this hour is heading to davos, switzerland, to talk about his economic successes. After a week of full bare knuckle politics ahead of the gnat impeachment rile that starts tomorrow. Edward lawrence at white house with more. Edward. Reporter any minute, 15 minutes the president is expected to leave for davos for that trip. His lawyers though, filing a 110page trial memorandum against the articles of impeachment. Now by the way the articles of impeachment, 111 pages. President s lawyers argued number of Different Things in their brief. The house does not identify impeachable offenses. That the process is irredeemably flawed because it violates due process rights. There is no evidence making any claim in the articles of impeachment, that the articles are structurally deficient. One of the lawyers on the president s legal team, the president is prepared to go ahead with the trial without witnesses. This impeachment is fundamentally and constitutionally flawed. Never in our history has there been an impeachment of a president without allegation a crime was committed. Under the circumstances given that, that is untethered to the foundational principles that come from the constitution itself. Reporter today democrats made a whackthrough of the senate floor, in preparation for the trial beginning tomorrow. Democrats would like to see a number of witnesses on their wishlist. Now on that list are a number of people including Mick Mulvaney, chief of staff, security advisor john bolton, also associate director for National Security michael duffy, Senior Advisor to mulvaney, robert blair. The democrats have put forward four fact witnesses, people like Mick Mulvaney acting chief of staff. All the documents show he was in the middle of all that. John bolton who called this a drug deal that went down and has said he wants to testify, if subpoenaed. Reporter republicans have their own wishlist right there. You see them hunter biden, his dad joe biden as well as adam schiff and the whistleblower all under oath as the impeachment trial kicks off, President Donald Trump will be in davos talking to or the World Leaders touting successes to the trade deals. In addition to the meetings he will talk with the new European Commission president. Obviously, trade, liz will come up on that front. Liz edward, great to see you. Thank you so much for your reporting my friend. As edward was reporting the talk in washington now the senate trial could mean hearings lasting for month if democrats get their way on more senate witnesses. House democrats saying coverup, if the senate does not call in the witnesses. Democrats like maxine waters, now saying quote, we will not stop on impeachment even after the senate trial. Lets bring in ken buck, house judiciary. Ken, great to see you congressman. House democrats threatening to call impeachment witnesses themselves if the senate does not. How would that work . I have no idea. They obviously could call witnesses into committees, have oversight hearings, ask those witnesses questions that would be on the same subject matter but this is clearly a fishing expedition. If the House Democrats felt so strongly they could have called these witnesses, they could have had these witnesses, could have gone through the Court Proceedings to force the witnesses to testify over any privilege or at least had ruling by the court as to whether or not privilege would have applied. These witnesses may have nothing to say. This is delay tactic to try to continue this beyond the point, i think point is two or threeweek trial on this issue. This issue should be dead. We should be moving on to important issues. Liz democrats are talking potentially bringing in chief Supreme Court chief Justice John Roberts on this. He may have to excuse himself because weighed in on executive privilege, that argument. What is the Senate Republicans socalled kill switch. Let trumps team ask a motion to dismiss articles fairly quickly after some evidence is presented. The democrats say they have overwhelming evidence that the president did halt aid to ukraine to force it to look into the bidens . Yeah. I think that what majority leader mcconnell has done is try to make sure this isnt some sort of a political show. That this is a narrow and tight trial. That the president has the rights that he should have had in the house and didnt have. And that the House Democrats cant control the senate calendar. I think Mitch Mcconnells absolutely right, making sure that if the democrats dont meet a certain threshold the trial is over, and country gets back to its business. Liz even cnn ask why didnt democrats pursue subpoenas for witnesses in court . Cnn is also asking the democrats, are you in danger of interfering with your own 2020 candidates . I want to get to this. House intel chair adam schiff, he is the lead manager, he accused cia and nsa withholding information about ukraine. He didnt give any evidence of that. Schiff dodged questions on abc this week about credibility of lev parnas the democrats new witness. Parnas is under indictment on federal charges including making false claims. Critics he wants to get leniency. What is reaction on adam schiff here . Adam schiff had his opportunity and i blew it. He did not present a strong case. He presented a very weak case. It was a partisan vote in the house. If anything two democrats voted with republicans. Adam schiff has failed and he is not going to succeed in the senate. He will not have a show in the senate when he failed to put a strong case together in the house. Liz house impeachment manager jerry nadler says any senators who vote against witnesses are part of a coverup. Nadler says any witnesses called about the bidens, talk about the bidens is part of a smear campaign. The Biden Campaign sent out an unusual memo, open memo to the media warning how they cover the bidens ukraine conflicts interests, saying story has already been debunked but author Peter Schweitzer said five biden family members got rich using the biden connection. Well go deeper into the story later in the show. Senator ted cruz says the president has a responsibility to the investigate the bidens, watch. I think one of the fundamental defenses i expect to hear from the white house this week is that the president has, inherent authority, in fact a responsibility to investigate corruption. When you look at what happened with joe biden and hunter biden, there is minimum a prima facie evidence of corruption. Liz your reaction to that . Let me push back. Democrats are saying this is not material to the articles of impeachment themselves the hunter biden story . Whole reason that President Trump responded to president zelenskys statement about Rudy Giuliani and the bidens was, that it is relevant. That there is corruption in the ukraine. The president doesnt want to give u. S. Taxpayer money to the ukraine if there is corruption that is ongoing. So he asked the president of the ukraine to look into corruption. That is part of the corruption. Liz including political rival, joe biden . Including everybody. Just because you run for president doesnt mean you get immunity. In this case the president of the ukraine should look into the bidens. I think u. S. Senate should look into it. I dont know that it needs to be part of this impeachment trial. Liz senator Lindsey Graham really unloading on nancy pelosi. Watch this. Well, to my friend on the democratic side, you know, i like nancy pelosi. Ive known her for years. I think she is a very relidge just person but when it comes to donald trump, nancy pelosi may pray him privately but she orchestrated the church of holy hell, from the time trump has been sworn in until now it has been one thing after another. Liz nancy pelosi admitted impeachment started with mueller probe. Your reaction to the holy hell characterization . Impeachment agenda started before the president was eneven sworn in. All these democrats avoided going to the swearingin ceremony, the inauguration. They have been talking about impeachment since day one. There have been newspaper headlines. Let the impeachment begin from day one. Its bad. Liz congressman, great to see you. Thank you for joining us tonight. Thank you. Also tonight, a massive progun rights rally in richmond, virginia. It ended peacefully despite the tension surrounding the event. Fox News ReporterMark Meredith is in richmond with more. Mark .

These people are responsible gun owners. These are true, redblooded americans. I have met no one is threat to anyone. I dont believe there is any problems here. Unless some people show up trying to antagonize a problem. The people here, were all lawabiding citizens. We have no problems. We are not intent on causing any problems here. Reporter earlier today, police had roadblocks set up all over downtown richmond. That way cars could not go where the demonstrations were happening. We did see a few counterdemonstrations happening but everything remained relatively calm and peaceful. Everyone breathing a sigh of relief that no one was injured or arrested during todays rally.

Now a big warehouse discovered there filled with unused u. S. Survival disaster supplies sitting there since hurricane ma rye in 2017. 92 billion is in the hands of incompetent people and very corrupt people.

Liz Iraqi Security forces firing tear gas and live roundses of ammo during clashes with antigovernment protesters in baghdad. This happened overnight into today. They wounded at least 13 demonstrators, killing two, possibly three. Fox news trey yingst joins us in jerusalem with more. Reporter liz, protests continue across places like iraq and lebanon as frustration grows regarding iranian influence in the region. In baghdad, two people were killed, a dozen injured as Security Forces fired live ammunition and tear gas. Clashes erupted as hundreds of iraqis blocked main roads to the capital of baghdad. Burning tires and barricades were used to block vision of gunmen who occasionally opened fired. 14 Police Officers have been injured as well since new clashes began over the weekend. Similar antigovernment protests in lebanon are taking place as demonstrators participate in a beak of rage. In beirut and tripoli, demonstrators threw stones and set fires to buildings. They are demanding a new government amid a growing economic crisis. Lebanese banks are running out of money. As one demonstrator notes the economy is in frozen. Translator this is the future of our children and our country. The country is frozen. This is not normal. The state is not doing anything. They are a bunch of thieves. Reporter in lebanon the focus is on militant Group Hezbollah that is backed by iran. Protesters are straws traded that the government is more focused on Citizens Group than the citizens of lebanon. Looking iraq, there is frustration with iranian backed shia militias, where the Government Supports their demands but not protesters there in the streets. Liz. Liz trey yingst in jerusalem. Thank you for your reporting. Chaos in puerto rico, the governor firing three cabinet officials after a big warehouse was discovered with unused u. S. Survival around disaster supplies for Hurricane Maria in 2017. This as Puerto Ricans have suffered through devastating forms, recently earthquakes. Bring in fox news senior strategic analyst, retired fourstar general jack keane. Thanks so much for joining us. Unused bedding, cots, baby formula and medical supplies. Your reaction . An absolute disgrace but symptomatic when you have weak local government with puerto rico at the city level and the governmental level. In continental United States we went through the very same thing with Hurricane Katrina and weak City Government and governorship there. And, youre going to have those kind of problems when you have ineffective government. That is the reality of it. Sad as it is, were two years into this, the people of puerto rico are still suffering rather significantly, compounded by the recent earthquakes that they had on top of Hurricane Maria. Liz san juan mayor cruz used every opportunity to go on u. S. Media to blame President Trump, saying d. C. Was not sending enough aid. Well i do think that, there is an issue with the federal post. It has to do with the promise of aid. The congress set aside 44 billion. Only 16 billion of that has gotten into the hands of people to improve their lives. Now part of that reason, if the government officials were speaking as opposed to me, they would say, well, were very concerned about corruption. Were very concerned about a country that has financial insolvency, making certain that rules an regulations protections are there before we start giving american taxpayers money away to this relief operation. So there is some of that, very legitimate concerns. But i still think were much too slow to respond to the needs of the people there. So all three governments are sharing in this responsibility of the people of puerto rico still suffering. Liz turn to the Washington Post, running a headscratching story, confusing people. The headline, trump uses Soleimani Killing to burnish credentials. It quote as former military official saying that but then says, soleimani should have been taken out. Heres President Trump touting that drone strike on general soleimani. Watch this. The democrats
