A weeknight look at the news, featuring interviews, analysis and Panel Discussions hosted by Bret Baier. Recordings regarding other people having nothing to do with the trump organization, which to give you an idea of what a scoundrel he was. My opinion has turned on him on a dime when i found out he was a Lawyer Recording his clients. Fundamentally thats a dishonorable offense. The president did expand on the threats to shut down the government if the president doesnt give him what he wants on Immigration Reform and 25 billion to build a wall along the southern border. I would be certainly willing to consider a shutdown if we dont get proper Border Security. I have no redline. The president was on friendly territory on the issue of immigration. Italys Prime Minister has pledged to tighten his countrys immigration laws. But avoiding the political fallout from a Government Shutdown may be a difficult maneuver for President Trump to accomplish. President trump also surprised the nation t
That if he was acting corruptly, wrongfully, that it was unlikely he was going to confess to president zelensky that he was asking for the investigations explicitly to help his prospects . In my experience, you almost never have a defendant or someone who is engaging in misconduct who would ever explicitly say in this case, president zelensky, im going to bribe you now or im going to ask for a bribe for i am now going to extort you. That is not the way these things work. Thank you. And going back to you, you said hunter biden had been on the board going back to 2014, correct . Yes. President trump supported ukraine with aid and otherwise in both 2017 and 2018, correct . President trump has done a lot for the ukraine. Taking a break from the
hearing for breaking the news on the doj watchdog report. Has just out, Inspector General Michael Horowitz as anticipated, his longawaited report on the russia investigation. We are just getting it now, live at the Justice Department with what we ar
from the lane of what they do for a living. i am doing it as a reporter and the potential headline. remember, this is against the backdrop of donald trump talking about the investigation of him in 2016 as a political hit job, when he talked about president obama ordering the wiretapping of the twin the tr. in one of this hearing, bill barr talked about the fbi spying on the trump campaign and later said spying is not a pejorative word, it is a perfectly legitimate word and usually people talk about surveillance, not spying which would seem to have a negative connotation. when you read the report and obviously we are all skimming through it, the headline is they didn t find the things that bill barr and donald trump alleged. they basically found that there was no political there was not political bias, either by
having the democrats in the chairs, in the chamber. democrats the majority in the house, and just the historic diversity, not just female but ethnic diversity as well. i ll be watching how nancy pelosi plays it sitting behind him. that is just going to be must-see tv because she has played played is maybe a pejorative word that i don t intend to use her strategy so far has been so incredibly attuned to who he is and who her caucus is. and there s a reason why she has the highest approval ratings at age 78 than she s ever had. it took her a long time to get the kind of kudos she s getting kind of political opponent she - has in donald trump in order to get that. so just to watch her, you know, i m assuming she ll be stoic because it is to be respectful,
know, it s about the wall, but it s also about amnesty and the freedom caucus basically shot down a plan for a package that would have funded the wall because it included an amnesty for the people who were brought here illegally. if we think of it as a pejorative word, alleged amnesty, they shut it down because they said they wouldn t go for it. first he got to find something to get out of the house and then it has to get through the senate. this is going to be tough. these are tough tumblers to tur turn. if you learn anything from decades of occasional government shutdowns, it s this, the public hates them. they may not say that in advance, but they always do and whatever party gets the blame pays the price. this most recent instance the democrats got the blame. they were the ones making all the noise about it and what happened they backed away almost instantly. bret: are poles said most responsible, democrats 32%. they backed up immediately.
