After a month hold up with those guys, i told them i was in favor with the New Zealanders dated 1951 when they abolished the upper house and became a unicameral legislature. There is no institution less suited to serve as a jury than the most self regarding group of legislators anywhere on earth. The trick if you are impeachment manager is to flatter them into thinking what you want best comports with their sense of their own portentous grantor. One way to do that is to keep referring to the senate as the worlds greatest deliberative body. The senators love that. Today, they got their first. You dont have to take my word for it. This body, the worlds greatest deliberative body, the United States senate, has reached that same conclusion. Mark bingo dont try worlds greatest deliberative body as your reimpeachment drinking game, because you cant afford to the beer tab. I know that one of the strengths of this body is its deliberative action. Mark i have never known anyone anywhere on the planet who refers to the senate as the worlds greatest deliberative body. I want know mike once met a malay, who referred to kuala lumpur is the world greatest deliberative body, e clinton trial, it was my habit when they said worlds greatest alliterative body, to show a picture of monica. As such, no cheap constellations this time around. Not president s, congressmen, senators revere other senators. You cant do better when you are pitching to them that a site other senators. Impeachment manager joe negus again. During the trial, senator george agnes of vermont, he is one of the most prestigious republican senators of his time. He sat right where Senator Grassley sits today. He zeroed in on this exact point during the belmont trial. Mark on the other hand, here is trompe loeil or bruce castor, upping the ante and boasting when he was a kid, it wasnt the soundtrack or music to make you misty, no, at their household, they like to turn the lights down low in the hifi high and listen to speeches from some senatorial gasbag. Senator dirksen recorded a series of lectures that my parents had on a record, and we still know what records are, right . Nothing you you put the needle down on and they play, and here is little bruce, eight, nine, ten years old listening to this in the late 60s. Mark you know, in most countries, you would Call Child Services for that. I came to the conclusion there was no such thing as too much senatorial flattery, but i wonder if mr. Castor did not go a tad too far. Any senator who was not already diabetic will certainly be so after todays head to Toe Drenching in a niagara of saccharine sycophancy. Citizen trump, mr. Trump, supposedly parted company with its first legal team because he wanted to take an epic stand on electoral fraud, which there certainly was, and they wanted to make a much narrower case on the unconstitutionality of trying a president who has already been removed from office. Usually a good lawyer, an effective lawyer, tries to shrink the case because it is much easier to persuade a judge or jury to move a quarter inch in your direction and 47 miles. That is not mr. Trumps style, not where he is at. And 74 million americans were the victims of a brazen heist, and he is not interested in what sums founding father thought of some english guys impeaching some former governor a quarter millennium ago, which is the most relevant precedent. He would rather go big or go home, as they say. Well, the Trump Lawyers lost on the threshold constitutional question. It was 5644 in favor of proceeding, so the trial will happen, and Citizen Trump will have to fight on the merits. I hope his legal team is up to that. Alan dershowitz and trey gowdy and other protrump folks had their doubts today. That is the difference between manslaughter and murder. Manslaughter is the killing of a human being upon sudden and intense provocation. But murder is done with cold blood. And reflective thought. Mark uhhuh. So the question before you is whether this guy trump is guilty of premeditated murder, or merely some careless manslaughter. That is a great argument. Maybe shouldve brought on Whoopi Goldberg to make her winning Roman Polanski rape argument. I know it wasnt raperape. It was something else, but i dont believe it was raperape. Mark okay. It might have been insurrection, but it wasnt insurrectioninsurrection. In the senate trial, the revolting industrialstrength pomposity of the worlds greatest selfimportant body actually becomes a factor in these things, with clinton, it was in fact the dominant factor because things change during any trial. With clinton, we were told that Robert Seabird and all these other salons of the senate were outraged, and we are seriously minded to convict, whereas as soon as it became clear byrd and the democrats knew it was safe to jump the fence and stick togeth. Meanwhile, Impeachment Managers wanted to call the victims as when he says, jane, jay joe 4, jane doe 5, i forget how high it went, but they decided that would be an affront to the dignitary of their senatorial majesties. It would be a cold day in hell before anyone introduced senator John D Rockefeller the fourth two jane doe 5 on the senate floor. Senators stand on their dignity, so they were not interested in seeing jane doe number 157 it in the hallowed halls. Likewise, what happened on January The 6th wasnt in insurrection, wasnt a cool, it everyone agrees that what happened on january 6th was a desecration, as much as a misdirection. Mark Desecration Of The Sacred Come Hallowed Well of the senate by a mob. To a senator, that is what makes it different from torching wendys or when minneapolis precinct house. Is there opening video made plain, the democrats are during the senators, look at you, Everett Dirksen and the 19th century in vermont guy, and then look at these riffraff rampaging around the worlds greatest deliberative body like its black friday at the strip mall on highway 37. Let these losers get away with doing that to your senatorial eminence hes . Joining me now, with reaction, fox news Senior Analyst brit hume. Two decades ago, the republicans went in thinking they could convict. What are the democrats thinking right now . I dont think they believe they have any chance of convicting donald trump on the republicans really thought they could get a vote to convict bill clinton. Impeachment, as you seem to have noticed, is an utterly political undertaking. And the constitution is silent on whether you can impeaching expresident , and therefore, because it is not unconstitutional, it is constitutional. The senate can do basically whatever it wants. It would be interesting to see what would happen if they tried to convict a longago president. I dont think you can roll it i would. This particular impeachment, on a loan count, seems especially halfbaked to me in the sense the house acted in desperate haste to get it under the wire before the president had actually left the office, and its a single count. There was no investigation, no hearings, no witnesses called, no nothing, and they sent the whole thing over to the senate, where there is no indication that enough republicans would join democrats to create the twothirds needed to convict, so i think it is a foregone conclusion and i think Everybody Knows that. Mark all the stuff you said would be a problem if you are up at your local county court. Generally speaking, the Supreme Court has basically said impeachment is a unique thing, and its uniquely political, and we dont intrude on the senates jurisdiction to have its own Impeachment Trial however lousy and idiotic it might be. But there must be if youre not doing it to convict the guy, what are you doing it for, just to inflict damage on him . Yeah, well mark even if you cant necessarily run again, if you cant get him forbidden from running again, maybe get him destroyed as a practical matter, he can. You cannot overstate the loathing in which the constituency of the Democratic Party holds donald trump, and from the first day of his presidency, the attitude of the democrats has been to resist, and they follow through on that by going after him in any possible way, including Mao Impeaching him twice. You know, the for the first 185 years of this nations history, one impeachment i did not lead to a conviction, but in the past, what, 30something years, we have had three of them including two this year, and i think, mark, one of the things to be concerned about, as i was growing up in this country, we studied that one impeachment, we recognized impeachment as a very grave matter, to be an action reserved for only the greatest cases, in which president ial conduct was so, so serious that it merited the immediate removal of a president , whose very presence in office was a danger to the republic. Now, what, now we are in the business of trying to impeach and convict somebody who is already gone, so i think that what we are likely to see here is this impeachment will have the same political effect as the last one did, which is to say practically none. I mean, it basically never mentioned after about a month after the impeachment. And eric came up during the election campaign, at all, by either side, it disappeared into the midst, and i suspect this one is heading for the same feet. Mark are you not concerned, as trey gowdy sounded aim few minutes ago, which i think is the general impression, that the opening arguments of the Trump Lawyers were actually pretty i mean, the first Guy Blathering about how its always my senator, just drifting, rambling aimlessly on, no constitutional argument. Do they actually have a case to make the president . Well, there is a constitutional look, this is the hardest part, because impeachment is so utterly political, it is basically up to the members of the congress in both houses to handle it however they seem fit, and they have rain to do that because the constitution is so vague on this, it basically leaves it up to them. So the idea this was an unconstitutional impeachment is something you could argue, but in this atmosphere, its not really a legal issue, when you think about it. They were never going to have the votes, so i dont think this particular argument was ever going to carry the day, although republicans might privately decide to vote for acquittal based on the fact that they believe that it is and if they do, look, if they vote, the republicans, the way they voted today, hes off the hook. They need twothirds. Theyve got a majority, but nowhere near twothirds, 11 votes short just on this boat. So we will see. Look, theres a constitutional argument to make but it is moved because in the end it is up to the house and the senate. Mark does it make trump stronger he is like a vampire. Theyve hammered twos takes into him, and he is still walking around. Could it actually end up making him stronger . Theoretically it could because they will say he was acquitted with a distinct Majority Voting to convict him, he will be acquitted anyway, because you need to thirds, and he will then claim vindication. My sense about it is this wont end up mattering very much one way or another. What he needs to do is get his finances straightened out and then find platforms from which to campaign if he wants to run again. Mark okay, thats great. We will leave it there, brit, thank you. A little bit of postpresident ial advice from brit hume. Coming up, joe biden has just killed the keystone xl pipeline. Canadian pipeline, and with a lot of american jobs attached to it, but now there is another pipeline he is more favorably disposed to from turkmenistan and for the taliban. Thats next. I suffered with psoriasis for so long. It was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. Im still clear, five years now. Cosentyx works fast to give you clear skin that can last. Real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. Dont use if youre allergic to cosentyx. Before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptoms develop or worsen, or if youve had a vaccine or plan to. Serious allergic reactions may occur. I look and feel so much better. See me. Ask your dermatologist if cosentyx could help you move past the pain of psoriasis. Mark on its very first day, the Biden Administration killed a pipeline here in america, but his cabinet reportedly has no problem with pipelines overseas, even if they help terrorists. According to reports, his administration is brokering a meeting between the taliban and the nation of turkmenistan in order to raise construction of a pipeline that would deliver gas through taliban territory to india. Joining me now, Fox News Contributor lisa boothe. Great to see you, we sell. Hi, mark. Mark hi, lisa. The Lefty Environmentalists dont seem bothered about this pipeline for some reason. Yeah, i guess pipelines are fine, particularly if they help terrorists, but its not surprising, because the pipeline was never about the environment, and you know this, mark, its all been about appeasing the coastal elites, the people fortified by his victory, and appeasing them. Thats really what his entire administration has been about so far. If you look at the action he has taken, it has been about virtual signaling to the coast, and nothing to do and nothing to benefit the americans in the middle, whether its helping illegal immigrants, even ones that have committed assault, or allowing biological men to compete in sports against women, or nuking jobs for Hardworking Americans in energy, and mark, President Trump was so, so spot on during the Rnc Convention when he said joe biden, for 47 years, took the donations of bluecollar workers, he hugged them come he kissed them, he told them that he felt their pain, and then he went to washington, d. C. , and voted to send their jobs to china and other countries, and that is precisely the action that he has taken since he has been president. Mark let me ask you something about this Brave New World we are in, lisa. Fairly on in this whole pandemic thing, i was actually overseas, and i saw a tweet of yours saying what is the point of coming to new york, paying more money than anyone on earth for the worlds smallest apartment, you do it for the restaurants, the shows, the great night life, and no restaurants, noshows, great nightlife, and you are still in your shoe box in manhattan, and you decide nuts to this, im getting out, so youve actually gone to the free state of florida, which is one of the freest places on earth. I think it is florida, sweden, south dakota, estonia, and belarus that have normal life, you did not fancy belarus. I didnt. I thought about it, but florida seemed a little more desirable to me, mark. I simply just wanted to be free. And so, i fled communist new york and came to a state that values freedom and loves freedom, and way better state to be and then a stately of so many people here that have escaped communist countries, socialist Companies Like cuba, like venezuela, that value freedom, that understanding significant of it, know that it is fleeting, and you look at places like new york, mark, Governor Cuomo sent the National Guard over thanksgiving to prevent people from being able to see their families. That is not freedom. Mark no, no. Thats fantastic. Write that down, folks. Florida is full of people who are refugees from regimes in cuba, venezuela, and new york city. Fidel castro, Fidel Castros cuba and de blasios new york. Thank you, lisa. We should all sincerely be concerned that you have these totalitarian mayors and governors that are using a pandemic to consolidate power and control, and to deprive americans of their freedom. I mean, we are generally on a bad time as a country and i think it is something we should. Mark no, absolutely, well said, lisa, and what it is approaching the second year, that is even more serious. We see each other in the gulags. Mark yes. [laughs] excellent stuff. Joe biden says americans bad, russia, china, iran with a party to celebrate. Thats next. E.

Friedman, 2008 in jfks waiting lounge, we could barely find a place to sit. 18 hours later, we landed at singapores Ultramodern Airport with the Internet Portals and childrens play zones. We felt like we had just flown from The Flintstones to the jetsons. Friedman, 2007 flying from zurichs Ultramodern Airport to laguardia is dumped, like buying from the jetsons to The Flintstones. Friedman, 2002 for all of the talk about afghan fighters, this was a war between the jetsons and The Flintstones, and the jetsons won and The Flintstones know it. But they didnt, did they . So, the most technologically advanced military on the planet has spent tour code decades having a time against here is friedman on scene and the other night. Walks out like his usual rhapsodizes about jets and countries over flintstone america. The high speed bullet he refers to is a train, not what they pour in the uighurs of the concentration camps, but listen to what he says next. You know it takes four hours and 18 minutes to take a bullet train from beijing to shanghai . And it takes 21 hour to take the train from new york to chicago. I will tell you something they were thinking about in china this week, they werent thinking about some knucklehead. They were spending the week thinking about a knucklehead who claimed 9 11 didnt happen. They werent making about some guy who has no mike is a key went on shaman. They were probably thinking of the bad stuff with the uighurs for sure, but i guarantee they were not wasting their time on this nonsense. Mark bad stuff with the uighurs, like harvesting their body parts. Yeah, lagos Thomas Freeman has always been a little turned on by the Chinese Foreign bureau. A wild back, he wish we could be China For A Day so we could enact enlightened policies like banning Plastic Grocery bags without having pelosi and mcdonnell negotiate five years back and forth, before sneaking it in. Oneparty autocracy certainly has its drawbacks, but when it is led by a reasonably enlightened a group of people, as china is today, they can have great advantages. Just so we know where he is going with this beer company cast kind of a point here. In no serious world is qanon or a minor freshman representatives views on jewish space lasers causing forest fires a dominant new story. And when youre talking about that, you are not talking about anything important. China is a dictatorship, and in Thomas Friedman terms, it is a hybrid, a flux state with stateoftheart technology. Half flintstone, half jetson. A conventional great path focusing on how to advance national interests. And how do we do this . Week after week, month after month, and think we are a serious country. We are so deeply unseries is a country right now, and we need to put this crap behind us and get focused on the future. Mark fair enough, but how far is he prepared to go when youre talking about Marjorie Taylor greene, youre not serious, when youre talking about key went on, youre not serious, when you talk about renaming Washington Redskins yog about one pronouns to use you are not serious, when talking with the paris climate accords. As if it is going to do a single thing for the climate. When using the floor of the National Legislature for a selfhelp therapy session, you are not serious. When you say diversity is our strength, as opposed to a morally neutral, abstract noun, you are not serious. China is a conventional, nondiverse, great power, but does not waste a moment talking about Social Justice or confederate statues or nonbinary pronouns. And he would be surprised how much time that frees up for taking over the planet. But dont worry, Thomas Friedman knows a serious guy when he sees one. Thats why i am praying for joe biden, because i think he is a serious guy. He is trying to do the right thing, and i think he is cursed by a Republican Party that is chasing a madman who actually encouraged people to sack our capital. You have to stop and repeat that. They sacked our capital. Mark oh, total, blithering cause wallop. Have you ever seen a sacked capital . And he was doing so well. We are unserious, we need to get serious, and then the let down, joe biden serious. That is the fundamentally unserious Thomas L Friedman. Former Deputy National security advisor under President Trump, k. T. Mcfarland is here. She is the author of the book revolution, and k. T. , youve been watching china long time. Have they basically got everything they want right now, and a great power theme park, as it were, all of the powers of a great the chinese are not there yet, they have every intention of being there within the decade, and they are doing at a number of different ways, doing it for technology, economy, doing it with Military Exercise of russians, iranians, turkey. And i think tom friedman is right, to a certain extent, because the americans, we are totally distracted, for 20 years we were distracted by the middle east, fighting wars we knew we could not win in afghanistan and iraq, now distracted again, during the russia hoax, and now this political show trial of an impeachment. So whose fault is that . I dont really think it is Donald Trumps fault, especially as tom friedman would like to make it so. Donald trump was the only guy who understood the threat china posed. Unlike joe biden who said, hey, come on, they are really good guys, theyre not going to eat our lunch. And mark, you know they want to eat our breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and expect us to pay for it. Mark absolutely. You mentioned these naval exercises that they are doing with the russians and the irradiance. We sort of think that all these guys, okay, they may all be opposed to us, but they dont get along particularly well with each other. And it looks as if they do. They are doing these things in the indian ocean, well within living memory, used to be a british lake, and now the chinese control all those ports in burma, bangladesh, and sri lanka. I mean, they are on the rise pretty fast. They know exactly what they are doing and they have a strategic plan. They dont like each other, the russians dont like the chinese who cares. They are doing business with each other. And what we did in the United States during the whole russia hoax as we pushed russia into the arms of china, and now what is happening, even the last couple of days, the germans have said, well, we dont want to take sides between china and the United States, and they have also said, russia, go ahead and build a pipeline. We want to want russian gas. Well, where is the United States and all of this . We bring out the checkbook and keep making the same mistakes again, and joe biden says, oh, americas fact really . Back to the good old days, where we were pushed around by everybody and we paid for everything . Mark you know, its not just the russians and the iranians, the chinese have done naval exercises with the Royal Australian navy. Are you worried that americas allies are actually figuring who is becoming man in this scenario . Well, that is the worry, is our allies in the pacific or even europe, they look around and say, well, i guess we dont really like this, but we better cut our deal. I think the United States is in a position, if we choose to do it, some in the national will, where we can regain the commanding heights of technology and we can the commanding heights of our relationship, but that does not mean you need to have some leverage, and the Biden Administration talks a really good game. Its great words. But where are the deeds . Of a willing to use the leverage we have . So far, they have not. So far, they have talked with a have not done and that is what worries me. Four years of this, and then the United States will be in a very difficult position, and far more difficult to get back to where we need to be. Mark that does not bear thinking about, k. T.

In the united kingdom, pubs might be allowed to reopen, but only if they agree not to sell alcohol. But what is a public without fear . Other than a place to soberly avoid the missus. You can do that in a library. A pub without beer is like a zoo without animals, he pulled without water, Nancy Pelosis freezer without premium gelato. Why reopen the bars if they are not allowed to operate as god intended . Because evidently, the covid trembles before pink lemonade iced tea, but slides and a pint of india pale ale. Joining me now, the Brexit Party Leader and the most pubfriendly politician in the western world, nigel farage. What has your country come to, nigel . Everything is closed down here, in lockdown, and i was looking forward yes, get the pubs open, and be told that we cant have a pint of beer when the pub is open, i mean, no doubt, shortly afterward, we will be told no storytelling, no jokes, no humor. This is what happened when the state basically uses Emergency Powers and takes complete control, and opening pubs with no beer, theyre not doing us a favor. Mark one is interesting, just to put this instead of just talking about your favorite the rest of the show, the political picture is that everywhere, the pandemics victims basically include genuine conservative government. You have an allegedly conservative government in the u. K. They have a similar one in australia, and toronto, in the province of ontario, and all of these socalled conservative governments are basically putting conservativism on hold because of the pandemic. Does not make any sense . Oh, yes, Hot Off The Press today, the Health Secretary in the u. K. Today announced that arrivals coming to britain from 33 countries for which we are worried they could be variants of the virus, if you come into the country, and july about your Embarkation Point, it is ten years in prison. Ten years mark really . You will get longer in prison than you would for rape or manslaughter if you dont Tell The Truth about your Embarkation Point before you came back to the united kingdom. And this is done by a conservative government without any debate in parliament, and a vote in parliament, or any democratic process. So, conservativism is out of the window, Survey Parties have given up on being conservative, which of course means freedom of the individual. And im very worried about how we are going to reverse this, i really am. Mark that is astonishing, the 10year sentence, because guys who were lifetime members of those grooming gangs all over yorkshire in the Sex Slavery Business of young school girls, they did not get ten years. What is essentially, these people have said, look, it is just temporary, it is an emergency, it is two weeks to flatten the curve, and then well get a little bit of small government and individual liberty back. And we are now about to enter the second year of this thing, and your friend and mind, dear old Boris Johnson, whatever Conservative Bone he has left in body was taken out when he was in the icu for the covid. Its gone. It is gone. Of course, allied with Boris Johnson is a big drive to take us toward zero carbon, so the poor can pay bills of the rich, and he isnt even recognizable as being conservative, but you are right, the growth of big government, the growth of centralized power, the massive erosion of freedom of the individual, its a real problem. I guess the Republican Party will have to talk about and confront, because love him or hate him, one thing donald trump is very keen on his people making their own decisions and getting on with their own lives. Mark thats very true, nigel. Thank you. You mentioned Climate Change now, i was astonished to see Climate Change is apparently to blame for covid because the bats would not have been hanging around the Wuhan Institute of virology if there had not been so much Climate Change.

America has made some seriously alarming products, but it turns out our worst export isnt clarity be, predator drones, its a mix of catch up on the ranch if youd like to put it on your salmon. Our worst export is our wokeness and the distinctly american brand of Social Justice is so bad even the french are getting worried about it. This week, for warned of the dangers posed by the american left calling progressive ideas imported from the United States a threat to the french republic. There must be stopped before they further undermine society. The author of an excellent book the end of gender, you should definitely read that. On this side of the atlantic, we tend to think of the french as this is the of Western Civilization and from their point of view, they think all of the ideas come from america. The Gender Identity and all the rest of it, are they right . Link you so much for having me. I would say it is a serious problem and i wrote an entire book about how it is destroying our ability to understand gender and this is affecting people in every area of life now. It doesnt matter where you work, doesnt matter what your hobbies are, doesnt matter where you live in the world now, Identity Politics and Social Justice really are infringing on our ability to live freely. Do you think it will actually reach to every corner of the planet . There is no doubt im not quite sure the reason for this but the United States is basically the most advanced on this and then the democracies of canada, australia, the u. K. Seem to be next in line and they seem to be reluctant to go along with this stuff. They are definitely going to be catching up. Theres no real place where they can escape from this, didnt think this would be affecting the sciences. Scientific papers that are influenced by this ideology and this is something that is being taught to Young Children especially schoolchildren and this is going to be affecting generations to come, not something we will be able to stand by being concerned today. We actually are in the territory where he can equal five if there is a woke Social Justice angle. When you say eventually engineers will be having planes dropping from this guy because they demand that the pilots have to be sufficiently woke before they can fly a jet . I think right now people are aware that the things i have to say are not true but i worry because as this is trickling down to younger generations being taught this, Gender Identity is being taught to kindergartners, theyre not going to know any better. By the time they do reach adulthood, they wont have the Critical Thinking skills to be aware of what they are being taught is actually not factually accurate. There are people who disagree with this unless you are like j. K. Rowling, the harry potter billionaire, and unless you are that sufficiently insulated, people are very wary about both the United States government and the Scottish Government basically fallen flat in front of the transgender activists on this. People are understandably terrified and i do want to emphasize i am in favor of transgender rights. I do think that transgender adults should be supported in transitioning, it can help in their Gender Dysphoria but this conversation on children, ive been very critical of it with Young Children because it shows it is not the best way forward for them and if you say anything like some differences between transgender women and women who are born women in terms of sports, in terms of womens faces, you get called all kinds of hateful names. We should be able to talk about this honestly while still maintaining we can be sensitive and passionate. Absolutely. We have to leave it there. That will do it for a fox news prime time.
