Senate impeachment trial. Hes taken from one republican senator, and practicing the entire Democratic Party. The democrats are quick to forget that the party, the same thing, during the impeachment trial of president bill clinton. If the New York Times chief white house corresponded, like in the late 90s, the court needed, yes, quite native the scenes. Even using quote unquote secret signals on the floor to score points. Its a reasonable question about Senate Leaders and whether theres too much coziness in the white house, but legitimate arguments get lost when outrageous statements like this are unleashed. Mitch mcconnell, saying hes working with the white house correlating the defense in this trial before the trial has even begun is atrocious. Hes peddling the allwhite jury for the class trial. Thats not the im sorry. A klansman trial, you say, you can hear republican rich trying to jump into point out just how absurd this may be. The outrageousness of making the belief from the legitimate question to a outlandish claim. They just called out called out Msnbc Rachel Maddow for doing something similar on the russian collusion fiasco. The new opinion piece, he gives credit for being unmatched in the knowledge of the top russia story but slams the host for a quote unquote rooting for the now discredited dossier to be true. Inciting Statement Like this. Even if this is yet to, uncorroborated and undocumented, all the supporting details or checking out. Even the outrageous months and the republicans claimed to be increasingly discredited. Thats not true in terms of the Public Record about the dossier, in fact quite the opposite. Ed i was depressed about the coverage of the debug dossier and she claimed it was not a grievous and either way, my next guest says all of us is doing damage and progressive cost and on. Senior fellow, joining me live, victor, getting to the Mitch Mcconnell situation and coming to Rachel Maddow, she pushed the antitrump dossier and it turned out to be here. Well, the playwright once posed the question what is wisdom and came on the side of pragmatism and ordinary people superior intellect to the intellect classes and the all cycle of drama is pitted the elite against Common People in the case of the scholar Rachel Maddow when she was reassuring america that it was correct, you can go on and listen to them with sean hannity without sophisticated agreements that were practical, pragmatic, and pointed out the chapter reviews how it cannot be true. Isame thing, he was a farmer, turned out that horror west was basically substantiated everything in th the harvard law graduate. It was disingenuous. We got to them smaller investigation, we were told its a dream team, all stars in the ivy league and there pitted against the swor lee sort of pee we just melt before the ivy league firepower. I think its a reminder about the symbolic lessons from the 2016 election that this country has to take a deep look and whos honest and whose virtuous and its not synonymous with all these people. The starstudded resume. Again and again, in the case of Rachel Maddow. Ed shes not the only one in the media, a whole bunch of people made sure they were pushing the dossier again and again and it somehow corroborated at least pieces of it. Youre learning lessons from 2016, has anybody in the media learned any . I dont think so, i think they feel and we see that with the survey that 90 of the Mainstream Media coverage has been biased and they feel that donald trump poses a existential threat to the entire Progressive Agenda and therefore any means necessary and justified with that noble and of removing him. Of i think they thought they were going to bleed him with a thousand cuts but after the clause, the logan act, the 25th amendments, Robert Muellers embarrassing testimony, ukraine frame, and especially the people turned off and there turned off. Its not dramatic, its not you know, climactic, but were seeing, he could to mentally and trumps bulls are going up and support for impeachment is going down. Thats grinning a lot of frustration and democrats now its a sort of damocles hanging over trumps impeachment and every once in a while, throwing something in and scoring a little bit lower. They dont know what to do right now for the American People and theyre not with them. If they did not have the special counsel report, they did not have bipartisan support, they dd not haves public support and they did not have specific crimes outlining the constitution. It was not like the nixon impeachment inquiry. People caught onto that. Ed take that point to Mitch Mcconnell, the Senate Impeachment trial now. We are seeing it, as i said at the top, there could be legitimate questions, where are the lies for the Senate Majority leader the white house. To them suggesting them leading a klansman trial, are democrats making this a mistake your . I think whats happening is the entire impeachment process is starting to mirror image of the candidates on the democratic stage and calling for the new green deal with the wealth tax or the open borders. If they are out of sync with the American People and they are not aware of how ridiculous it soun. This whole cycle, the latest cycle of impeachment starting in the whistleblower did not go first for the instructor general, they went to adam schit and they cooked up with the stae we are. Remember, theyre going to talk about conflict of interest, global chart, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders were going to be sitting in judgment on donald trump who is going to be probably the republican nominee and one of them thinks there could be running against them. This is what politics is all about and there on the losing end and the losing end of public support and i can understand. Ed victor, then play this out with nancy pelosi then. If somebody we havent mentioned yet. Why in the world is she holding onto the articles . Why is she not cutting bait as you say, democrats are losing the battle. Because she was reassured of every stretch, every step of the process by the leftwing base of the Democratic Party and thats those misnomer because the entire party is leftwing now. If something were to come up, we would have the recession. Or they are praying thing would break it wide open or adam schiffs rhetorical brilliance would change the whole temple of the country. It never happened and now shes at the impasse and looking insane, you you know what, when am i going to do im already impeaching him. And so shes going to let it sit out there and hope that somebody can come to the rescue and theres a new whistleblower. Theres a new document, theres something new and we can just keep it up. What she doesnt understand, she lost the support of the American People. They are tired of it, the longer the thinks its out there and its so contrary to the past protocol and tradition, whats even more angry, people are going to get. These polls, its pretty clear that its not dramatic but drip by drip by drip, the democrats are losing the public support that they thought they had. I appreciate you coming in, really happy new years. Thank you. Ed also tonight, chief republican number of the Republican House judiciary committee. Thanks for coming in. Hearing victor laid out out, they suggested you cant beat donald trump at the battle of the box and 2020 and you have to impeach him. When you look at how the economy slowing out this week and how the impeachment drama was playing out, your thoughts. Very strange and also you see the impeachment did not really serve as the substitute for the agenda for the American People. Democrats have not been for mailing their commitments on trade, health care, the economy and soap impeachment has really been the alternative to that and its all been consuming as the obsession. If its a little bit bizarre to hearken back to a few weeks to that when Eric Swalwell called the president s conduct a crime spree in process. If nothing was more urgent then nancy pelosi is just sitting on the impeachment articles in the egg that shes waiting to hatch at any moment. Ed if theres a crime spree, why have the articles not been sent to the senate so the president can be brought to a trial . Thats all beasley the contradiction that we can see from the democrats, and its hard to take fiercely as he pointed out and you had democrats with Rachel Maddow trying to read the into a dossier that weve been telling the American People was false. The democrats and the allies and immediate were wrong on two fronts. If one, the underlying veracity or truth of the dossier and that steals some sort of sources and thats not what we tell them, wide did not end up in a document . The dossier was used, you have Rachel Maddow, adam schiff, saying the fbi did nothing wrong to leave followed the pfizer process and we see that dossier was central part. Ed one thing for the media to be called out and held accountable and we all make them. This was a big one. If you go beyond that, and im sure if you invoked a moment ago, he went much further hes in the congress and been elected by people in the district as you know and hes the chairman of the very powerful committee. It begins at 2017 with Rachel Maddow interviewing adam schiff and he sort of sidesteps the question of the veracity of the dossier as you know and we know now, the adam schiff memo was false. The very powerful committee to a higher standard. Absolutely, you remember when devin nunes put out the memo and adam schiff put up the response, the Mainstream Media say, oh, the memo has been debunked and this is obviously the truth. If we now have something we rarely get an washington politics and actually it in fore results from the obama point of the Inspector General saying that devin nunes was right all the time, adam schiff was wrong. Theres intelligence as the Armed ServiceCommittee Member that i cannot see but i have to rely on with adam schiff and the gang to correctly assess that intelligence and give up the accurate perceptions. That adam schiff should be removed as the chairman so we can at least get clear eyes on the most important intelligence analysis in the country. At ed s clustering, wall street journal had a piece suggesting that nancy pelosi wants to roll the impeachment that shes holding the articles waiting for somebody else to draw. Just hanging it over the president s head for the election grade of your thoughts . Theyre becoming the onehit wonder where its only impeachment and got postpartum depression because they burst the impeachment out and the of the task they wont be able to continue to litigate its, what strange but politically more that they talk about the impeachment and opening hearings, the worse things get for them. The clear politics pulling averaging our inverted it when democrats started Holding Public hearing because the American People get to see how thin their case was. They should be through with this and we should all have a new years resolution to be done with impeachment and the investigations and lets actually put the American People first. Lets make it their agenda our agenda and not just feeling political optimism. Ed lets see how that plays out. Bernie sanders, the secret weapon sending some shock waves through the democratic establishment and may be raking some more chaos in the primari primaries. Still ahead, a story explosive, former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and the ingredients of making it more likely than not the President Trump will be reelected.

Some things havent. Get ready for a reunion 3 million light years in the making. Woohoo yeah we are 37 days out from the iowa caucus in the 2020 election. Bernie sanders may be on the verge of driving the democratic establishment a bit batty yet again. Now a close second in iowa running strong into the New Hampshire primary that comes a week later. The New York Times points out he has a secret weapon other candidates do not enjoy writing with less than six weeks until loading begins, has turned into a formidable contender. Senior director of research at foxnews. Com and both fox news contributors. I want to start with you as a democrat here. Bernie sanders, last time was sort of a fly i didnt taken that seriously and he almost snuck up and beat hillary clinton. 4 million votes is an almost speaking up but he did better than people thought. We will do the whole thing it was rigged another night. But Bernie Sanders has actually been largely ignored by the Mainstream Media and all of this, always been running strong in what he does have is the New York Times pointed out, he has voters who are not moving to another candidate. So you always have to look at not necessarily what is everyones first preference but how strong their conviction is about their candidate and they were only two candidates were people have been sold on that. Joe biden with africanamerican voters and a myth about bernies supporters as he was sharing them with Elizabeth Warren but she had a female white collegeeducated base, same that should be taken incredibly seriously. Look at this graphic on the iowa results, look at how close it was in the delegate count, you see the percentage point there, less than one percentage point. My point being he barely lost iowa, won New Hampshire behind buddha judge. That is iowa, and then we go to South Carolina where hes not going to do very well and dont forget that nationally, still trailing joe biden by ten percentage points, people forget the first four estates, those three we mention and nevada, 100 delegates. Means nothing except momentum and i dont think Bernie Sanders is going to come out of this even if he wins iowa which he doesnt look like hes going to because Pete Buttigieg is pushing him very hard there. I dont think youll have that kind of momentum that is the real prize of winning iowa. And advisor of Bernie Sanders and was on the 2016 campaign. Heres what she said thats a little bit different. What i predict is he will either win or come very close. What i will tell you is regardless of the math works in Bernie Sanders favor, i can predict hes going to go all the way to the convention. Can go ahead and crown joe biden but Bernie Sanders is not going anywhere and his followers are not going anywhere. He said that in 2016 and they are saying it again and thats true, 10 of Bernie Sanders supporters ended up supporting joel stein or not voting at all prayer that percentage could be higher this time around. It is extremely dangerous considering he might be the clear front runner in this throughout and there will be no concessions made and they are the only good democrats whatever their affiliation might be that dont feel like we necessarily need to coalesce around whoever the nomine
