Slamming the sal a stalled proceedings and House Speaker nancy pelosi. President trump shes doing a tremendous disservice to the country. Shes not doing a good job and some people think that she doesnt know what shes doing. They treated us very unfairly. They didnt give us to process, they didnt give us a lawyer or anything. Now, they come to the senate and they want everything. Mike she says she wants to know how they will run the impeachment trial before she sends over the articles. Chuck schumer says witnesses must testify in the Trump Administration needs to turn over emails and other crucial evidence to ensure a fair senate trial. President trump insists Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has the right to do whatever he wants. Meanwhile the House Judiciary Committee signals there could be even more coming as they fight in court to get grand jury materials from special counsel Robert Muellers russian investigation. Rich edson reporting live from west palm beach, florida, not far from the president s resort. Good afternoon mike. A little bit of true president ial tradition this morning. The president calling Service Members across the globe when they cant with their families for the holidays. The president had a phone conversation with a number of them to begin the day and he also spoke with reporters this morning asking and answering questions when it comes to impeachment especially since this is less than a week after the house voted to impeach him. The president was defending his conduct. President trump they had no evidence at all, no crime. We had 196 or so republicans voting 100 . We didnt lose one republican vote in the house and we had three democrats come over to our side. Democrats and republicans are debating the specifics of an impeachment trial in the senate and House Democrats are holding the articles of impeachment to try to compel republicans to allow witnesses to testify in any senate trial. Senate republicans call the impeachment of political charade. One Senate Democrat chris murphy writes on twitter i know how this goes. Today republicans say we should observe the impeachment rules and open the trial without an agreement on witnesses. Then when the trial begins, they will tell us how different this is than that clinton impeachment and we can have witnesses. Both houses of congress is out so this impasse is very likely to continue. Mike which House Democrats are considering more articles of impeachment . If this came in a federal filing from House Democrats and they say they want the court of appeals to enforce the subpoena to get the former white House Counsel don began to appear and testify. They write in that filing mcganns testimony is also important to the investigations into president ial misconduct and consideration and whether to recommend additional articles of impeachment. The Justice Department is urging that court to scrap this trial in the lawsuit because they say the house has already voted on articles of impeachment. At the president s ally and republican senator Lindsey Graham is tweeting on this democrats are treating impeachment as an open bar tab. Time to cut them off and take their car keys away and put the g. O. P. In charge of the house and ending insanity. The president has yet to comment on the potential on new articles of impeachment. Lets bring in our panel. Kevin jamison isnt democratic strategists and managing partner of the chief its group and Educational Consulting term. Gentlemen, welcome. So kevin, we have some comment from President Trump and after that we will ask you to respond. President trump we have majority and now they want mcconnell to do wonderful things to them. He will do what he wants to do but hes a smart guy, very good guy and very fair guy. But they treated us very unfairly and now they want their fairness in the senate. So what about that . He saying senator Heller Mcconnell can do what he wants. Thats a bit of an overstatement, but what hes doing is a violation of his constitutional job. He supposed to be an impartial juror and hes like the foreman of the jury so its unlikely that we have someone in that role whos indicating he will do everything in lockstep with the president who in this case is the accused. Trent lot didnt take that approach, obviously he didnt say he was going to go against whatever clinton wanted. And doing things around getting to the bottom of the evidence, and shirking that duty. No surprise that Senate DemocratChuck Schumer has a different idea of fairness. Lets play his clip. Fair means documents and witnesses. Its hard to imagine a trial not having documents and witnesses. If it doesnt have documents and witnesses its going to seem to most of the American People that it is a sham trial, a show trial, not to get to the facts. Its simply about getting the truth. Mike amari, how do you respond . The fact is, the president s isnt being judged by the majority with fairness. Its basically a victim, and they dont want to see the president to continuously be putting points on the board that hes been doing. The fact is no president has not been reelected since the postwar era when unemployment is at 7. 4 and President Trump is knocking those numbers out of the park. So they are continually bringing evidence back. They add to this pile, the American People are gathered around the table, and its continuously dividing the country. I think the democrats think that the only time they can actually win is when our country is divided but the fact is, the country is divided by the principles of we are seeing more americans back to work than we have ever seen before and thats just bringing us back together and i think thats the reason why the president will be reelected in a landslide in 2020. Mike now there is more articles of impeachment. More that don mcgann could testify to, and probably not. Im a democrat and, with that being said a part of the reason why we dont know for sure how bad the obstruction of justice god and, what exactly happened in the white house with regard to the investigation, we do need to figure that out. Don mcgann has not testified. He indicated he wanted to but he sort of complied with President Trumps with wishes that he didnt testify. If he does testify and we get information that looks bad for the president , theres nothing in the constitution that would stop the house from bringing additional articles. We may be tired of the investigations but he should be brought to justice, the president that is, if moore comes out to make the obstruction of justice case stronger. Mike are beltway democrats other than kevin out of touch if they think the American People want more impeachment . I would just say that. They have to focus on their message to the holiday people. What type of uplifting positive message will they deliver . And impeachment of donald trump started in 2016 and since then, there have been unemployment has been as low as its ever been. That will continue to drive progress forward and try to drive us further and further. You talk about other things other than impeachment. Your thoughts on that . She is alreadys been hesitant to impeach and i think she finally pulled out a way with the july 25th call and the pressure from the progressive caucus and leadership with the dems got too much for her to handle. I think impeachment is justified given what we know about the call. But i think she wants to talk about other things, because she knows that in order to get elected in 2020 to retain the house and possibly the white house, we do have to talk about other issues and it wont just be impeachment. Even though there are some polls that suggest almost half of americans support impeachment and removal which is not good for the president but its not overwhelming and not 60 or 70 . Whats interesting is that beyond impeachment last week you have usmca and you had government funding to the end of the fiscal year. So while she is putting points on the board for some of her members, there are things that President Trump can run on. Is that right . Yes. As you look at some of the president iathepresident ial cande doing some of the same things. You look at former Vice President joe biden, and you dont know where he is from his actual core anymore, no democrats are talking about the jobs. Talking about keeping our military, the Strongest Military that the United States has ever seen. These are the types of things we have to be focused on in virginia and around the country as a whole to find solutions to the problems that americans are seeing and thats what the Democratic Party is just not doing. Im proud that the president continues to put points on the board and we are rooting for him. Merry christmas. Get ready for gridlock.

Mike a recordbreaking number of americans are expected to travel this Holiday Season and one of americas busiest airports came to a grinding halt today on Christmas Eve. Heavy fog grounded all flights at chicagos ohare and midway airports earlier this morning. We have Fox Team Coverage with matt finn following the last minute shoppers who have hours to finish their list. David lee doesnt seem too bad there now. Indeed its not. You got your last minute shoppers that you mentioned but you also have those lastminute travelers that have been trickling in throughout the day. As you can see for yourself it is relatively quiet and with each passing hour it seems to be getting quieter. An Industry TradeGroup Airlines for america says today that 2. 25 Million People are expected to travel but later this week is when you have to brace yourself. Thursday and friday they are forecasting the busiest travel days of the Holiday Season with 2. 9 million passengers on u. S. Carriers. There was one glitch today as you mentioned that was worth noting. Heavy fog in chicago halted all incoming flights at both oh ohare and midway airport. Operations have since returned to normal but chicago as we all know too well is a significant hub and there have been significant cancellations there at ohare and midway today alone, we are told at 162 cancellations that have affected the system nationally. In total today there have been 248 cancellations. One thing to keep in mind, this is predicted to be the busiest holiday travel. Ever. 145 million passengers will take to the sky and thats an increase of 3 over last year. Mike impressive. How are the tsa security lines . I had a feeling you would ask me that. You can see the tsa checkpoint off in the distance and the sign says there is now a six minute wait to get through security. Thats pretty good, it got as low as 4 minutes earlier today, never more than 15 minutes here at laguardia. The tsa says it is ready and it is fully staffed for the Holiday Season. Some of them are working extra shifts and they are advising people please do not show up with items that are gift wrapped that you want to take through security. Use a gift bag instead and when it comes to liquids they can say that, yes its christmas but the rules remain in place. You have to limit that quantity of eggnog to the tsa requirements. And lastly, they do have this reminder. I get to the airport two hours before your flight for domestic trips and at least three hours for overseas trips. But as of now, things are very quiet here at laguardia and you could say across the country, this Christmas Eve was going to be a silent night for most travelers. Mike it well done. Looking good there. It makes me wonder if they went to newark and jfk instead. Thank you so much my friend. If you havent finished your Christmas Shopping yet, better get moving and take comfort in knowing you are not the only one who waited until the very last minute. The National Retail federation estimates more than half of Holiday Shoppers are still buying gifts in the week before christmas and folks are also expected to spend more money this year. Matt finn at reporting live from the magnificent mile in chicago. Weve been talking to some of those lastminute shoppers here all day here on chicagos Michigan Avenue and most of them are actually in good spirits. There are some families who say its an annual tradition to reduce the shopping on Christmas Eve and other shoppers say they are looking for a deal and they might have procrastinated. Christmas eve shopping, is it fun or frenzied . Im just taking my time, i got here early as soon as they opened . If there is a deal, right if not, im stuck because they want what they want and i have to get it for them. Has been crazy . No. Its been great. Some stores are open nationwide, target, macys, lowes, walgreens and 7eleven and if you need coffee, starbucks and dunkin donuts. As you can imagine, something you might be able to relate to, a large number of people we are talking to today are parents who say they made a mad dash out the door for some lastminute type toys. The National Retail federation, some nine about 50 more shoppers compared to last year and in general, american shoppers are expected to spend about 1,05 1,050 total. Outside of this very large mall, the weather is unseasonably warm, we are talking 50 degrees here in chicago and across the midwest. At some unseasonably warm weather so maybe encourage some people to make a lastminute shopping trip. Mike enjoy it matt, im sure you will get a blast of wonder at some point. Merry christmas.
