We have a big hour ahead of. Kevin corke reports live from the white house and we will also talk with democratic senator chris van hollen. But we begin with Congressional Correspondent chad pergram live on capitol hill. Walk us through the next few days of this. Good afternoon bill. Glad to be part of it. We dont really know exactly whats going to happen in the coming days because we still dont have this resolution setting the parameters, and the debate and the trial over the next couple days. Mitch mcconnell the Senate Majority leader has kept that very close to his best and the impeachment managers as they are struggling to try to figure out how the next couple of days will go. Is one of those managers, hakeem jeffries. We dont know what those will be, we simply look forward to being able to review the resolution. The American People deserve a fair trial, the constitution deserves a fair trial. Democrats and those managers have filed whats called today a replication, which is kind of a rebuttal to what the white house filed today. The senate cannot remove him even if the house proves its case, that the chilling assertion. Bill, we will have some long days the next couple of days and tomorrow will be administrative which is where we get that resolution from mcconnell. There will be a vote on that, and then wednesday thursday the house presents its case friday and saturday. The rebuttal from the Trump Defense team, a lot of the sessions will run 12 or 13 hours, until one or 2 00 in the morning. Then next week they might go to the issue of witnesses. Where do we stand on witnesses . It all depends on how this resolution is structured. We think they will get to that about the middle of next week, and as they say here and capitol hill, its about the math. The math right now favors Mitch Mcconnell and he says he has the votes and Chuck Schumer does not. Chad pergram, thank you. They called the case against him a dangerous perversion of the constitution. Kevin corke is live on the north along. Congrats bill and good to be with you. Sources working with the president s legal team have argued for quite some time that the articles of impeachment as they are currently constructed are neither criminal nor impeachable. And we have a chance to take a look at a 110 page summary that spells out the arguments against the house is impeachment. The president s lawyers believe that the articles of impeachment presented by House Democrats are constitutionally deficient on their face, the theorys underpinning that would do lasting damage to the separation of powers under the constitution and to our structure of government. The lawyers here stay the first article if validated would have allowed congress to have secondguessed policy decisions and they argued the second article would have invalidated the president s confidential deliberations which is why they said they blocked testimony and refused to turn over documents to the house. As for the question of witness witnesses, here is federal prosecutor robert brady. It is the president s right to a fair trial, specifically if he thinks that in this part of his defense he needs witnesses. If it is on the other hand a situation in which illfounded, illegitimate, unconstitutional articles of impeachment have been presented then there is no need for witnesses. Robert ray, but democrats insist that more witnesses and evidence are the true standard of fairness and the American People deserve nothing less. We aim to get their truths and make no mistake about it, we will force votes on witnesses and documents and it will be up to four republicans to side with the constitution, to side with our democracy, to side with rule of law. Four, as in the number, needed to tip the president s way. Dana i want to talk about this with a senator who will be in the well all week. Senator, thank you for your time and good afternoon to you. Bill, its great to be with you and congratulations on your new show. Bill thank you. Dont be a stranger around here. Your colleague doug jones set over the weekend he was going to split his vote. He said hes yes on abuse of power and no on obstruction. What are your votes, senator . I believe every senator should wait until all the evidence is in before rendering a final judgment. I do think that a fair trial requires the bringing of all the relevant evidences that are out there, and that means calling fact witnesses and getting relevant documents and getting to the truth before rendering a final decision. Thats why we were so disturbed by senator mcconnells efforts at least initiative, initially to prevent those relevant documents and relevant witnesses. You mentioned witnesses a couple of times. Is that a swap that you would agree to . Look. Everyone has to be considered on their own merits. I wouldnt say at any point in time republicans wanted to call, the democrats put forward for a fact witnesses, chief of staff where all documents show that he was in the middle of this. And he has said that he wants to testify. I would say with respect to hunter biden, as of right now it looks like a total sideshow. He doesnt have information directly relevant to these two articles of impeachment that are before the senate. The abuse of power and obstruction. Would you agree witness for witness and one for one, would you consider that fair . In a trial, the standard is whether or not a witness has factual information that is relevant to the charges in front of them. That is the standard that is implied in the trial. I will say that senator mcconnell keeps talking about the clinton model. And every impeachment trial has had witnesses who testified under oath. So if we are going to abide by the clinton model we certainly should have witnesses to help us get to the truth. Bill likely tomorrow we will get an idea about the senate rules and how Mitch Mcconnell wants to run this. 12 hour days, how does that sit with you . Look. We have an obligation to hear the case and try the case and try it fairly. In the clinton proceedings as you probably know, i think they divided up into six hour days so obviously, mcconnell is trying to rush this through including in the middle of the night. I find that worrisome, but we will all do our duty under the constitution to hear this. Bill i dont mean to interrupt your answer there but if you are Amy Klobuchar and you want to get back to iowa, maybe its a good thing the process goes quickly. Could you see or understand the perspective . With respect, i dont think thats Mitch Mcconnells motivation right now. But i think again, the important thing is that we get all the relevant witnesses and documents and testimony, and whatever the timeline is, we have to do our job. It should be a fair trial and fair trials, i think every american recognizes that requires getting to the truth and you can have a fair trial without witnesses. Bill what is your sense about how badly this could hurt some of the chances for those who are trying to capture the nomination . Places like iowa and New Hampshire and things like that . I dont think this has any material impact. These are senators who are able to communicate with people via all sorts of, facebook live. Theyve got their teams on the ground and the voters in those states are interested in whats happening in the impeachment trial, along with all of the other big issues they are faci facing. That could very well be but in the tight caucus, the difference could be between first, second or third place. As you know, the most important thing for those caucuses is the organization and the team on the ground. Those organizations have already been built over a period of time, and so that will be the most important factor as we go into the final days. Ive talked to the senators and i know that their first obligation is to do their job under the constitution. Bill senator, thank you for your time. Sven holland, thank you for coming on today. Can the trump team turn impeachment into its advantage . I will ask Brad Parscale when he joins me exclusively coming up. And theres a report that Mike Bloomberg is willing to drop 2 billion of his own money as Campaign Manager, and he will answer that question momentarily as well. Im very happy to start this next chapter with you at home. We wont solve the worlds issues in an hour but over time we will understand them better. I call it the whole picture. We will be fast and we will try to be for us but we will focus on trying to be fair. In the end, the whole picture takes time. Over time we hope to see you around here more often and that is our word.

The beat goes on we are keeping a close eye on the situation underground and rich richmond, virginia where demonstrators have gathered. The Governor Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency before todays protest and banned all weapons from the event entirely. Mark meredith is live on the ground from richmond, virginia. We have more from there. Thousands of gun rights activists showed up in richmond ready to show their displeasure with controversial gun laws that the state legislature here in virginia has been considering. Among the issues that gun rights activists are upset about is the possibility that state lawmakers will limit handgun purchases to one every 30 days, so they could impose universal background checks and allow local lawmakers to ban firearms in public spaces as well as impose those red flag laws. Many gun owners have been eager to show their opposition and weve seen many today that had their guns openly carried including handguns and long guns. They were not worried about any potential violence despite some of the earlier concerns by law enforcement. These people are responsible gun owners. These are true redblooded americans and ive met no one out here thats a threat to anyone. I dont believe they will be any problems here, unless some people show up trying to antagonize the problem. The people here are all lawabiding citizens. With had no problems and we are not intent on causing any problems. There was a large turnout earlier today but as you can see right now, where we are things have calmed down considerably. A Police Barricades have been removed and the traffic barricades have been lifted. It may look like it but it is bitterly cold so a lot of people did not want to stick around outside longer than they had to. That rally wrapping up a couple hours ago and also the good news that we heard from police is that none have happened.

Bill three years at go today the President Trump took the oath of office and one year from today either he is or has success will swear to protect and defend the constitution. The first President Trump has to get to the sun impeachment trial which starts tomorrow. Brad parscale is here now, good day to you. I know youve been doing a lot of these and this is your first one in a while. I flew all the way here just to see you today. Bill i appreciate that, thank you for being here. First how would you characterize a state of your Campaign Today . Better than it was in three, 2016 and better than it was three months ago. Raising more money, the numbers are up, and every standard we have going on with the president. 2016 suburban voters on the screen, here you go. President trump led Hillary Clinton by four points. Amid suburban women he trailed her by only seven. We did a poll here at fox about a month and a half ago and easement numbers are very different. In december of this year amongst suburban voters he now trails by 11. Amongst suburban women hes down by a whopping 24 points. How come. Those are different measurements also. One is measured on a ballot and one on approval and those are different things. The president has actually never done better. We still have a candidate to run against. And thats how you asked those questions also. Hes actually doing better, in our numbers internally, its never been higher. I think with women as they start to see, the lowest unemployment 3. 2 for women in 50 years, i think youve seen ten years now since women were actually more employed in th workforce. And if thats the case, why are numbers not different . I just dont think those numbers are right. You cant just go and ask the question. They could ask for approval in different ways. You actually say, do you want President Trump or do you want the president from the left side . The president does significantly better. He is so far ahead of where he was in 2016 against clinton, so far ahead of these other candidates in fundraising and numbers, and their policies are so far left, the American People are not going to want them. The American People are tuned out because what happened with impeachment and everything else, they are shut down. They are watching Football Games and enjoying the countrys great economy, they are not sitting around watching the stuff. Bill i will give you an example come into thousand 18 it was a very good year for the democrats. This isnt Newt Gingrichs seat just 20 years ago. It flipped from republican to democrat. Are those districts gone for good . Noel. Look, the president isnt on the ballot there. We are talking about states, michigan, minnesota. States that we are talking about having to go defend. If i had been talking to you and you said those were the states, they are not talking about ohio and florida anymore. The president on the ballot changes things. You had millions of voters and those millions will show up again and more millions will show up even more because the president has policies that he can run on. So you think georgia six is a one off . Special elections are speci special. Either way, congressional who runs a congressional race matters. Thats not President Trump on the ballot, and its different. So the president is going to win georgia, its not even close. How badly does this impeachment trial harm the campaign . Im sure the president needs to speak for himself on this but from the campaign side our numbers have gone up. And you are the one that will become victorious out of this. Its going to create lots of fundraising, weve already got 200 million in the bank and our numbers have gone up. Independent see this farce and this hoax. They dont like to be bamboozled and they dont like the stuff. Michael bloomberg said this in the last few days, one of the reasons, i would be acceptable to the moderate republicans that you have to have in order to win elections. I will start when worrying about bloomberg when he can beat mayor pete. He suggested he would spend 2 billion. If he does, can you match that . He will be heating up throwing that money in the furnace. Soft dollars and what he chooses to do im not worried about. The president s message resonates with the American People. We will be ready. We have been spending year is now getting our voters ready to turn out. We have tens of millions of them ready to show up and as far as i see from that side, they are not ready to turn those out. Canvassed the whole democratic field at the moment . Who concerns you . I dont look at any one candidate. Regardless of who shows up on the other side, we will have a campaign this time thats ready, and every single aspect to take on whatever
